"What! Li Xuan asked you to come over and film him? He Yichang looked at the big fat man in front of him and asked in surprise, but after asking, he immediately glanced at Zou Wenhuai, who was not moving.

Hong Jingbao naturally didn't dare to say that he found Li Xuan himself to ask for filming, but fortunately, the two had unified their caliber before, so he said without blushing and without a heartbeat: "Yes, his 'Five Lucky Stars' series will be scrapped if he doesn't make a sequel, and I just saw that I have been relatively idle recently, so I talked about it." ”

"And what about your opinion?" Zou Wenhuai asked nonchalantly.

Hong Jingbao couldn't understand this old man, so he had to tell the truth: "In my opinion, I also like this movie series quite a lot, and I want to finish filming it completely." ”

"In that case, you can shoot if you want." Zou Wenhuai nodded and responded: "As long as you don't delay next year's summer file." ”

Hong Jingbao was overjoyed and said: "No, no, we will start filming immediately, it is estimated that there will be a delay in the New Year, but it will definitely be finished before Valentine's Day." ”

"That's good, since that's the ......case," Zou Wenhuai raised his head and said, "Sanmao, you can go and get busy with your business." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Zou, then I'll go out first."

Seeing Hong Jingbao's chubby body walking out of the office with figure-of-eight steps, He Xichang, who couldn't help it, finally opened his mouth and asked Zou Wenhuai: "Wenhuai, let Sanmao go out to film for Li Xuan, what do you think?" ”

"What else can you think?" Zou Wenhuai paused, and suddenly sighed: "Sanmao is dissatisfied with me." ”

Hearing this, He Xichang was surprised and asked, "Dissatisfied?" ”

"Yes, didn't you notice that he and Chenglong, the two senior brothers, haven't appeared together with us for a long time." Zou Wenhuai said with a little melancholy.

He Yichang was slightly stunned, and then muttered: "One mountain can't tolerate two tigers? ”

"If we want to stop Sanmao from going out to take over the drama and not make him angry, we have to learn to buy the copyright back and shoot it ourselves like "Police Story". Zou Wenhuai shook his head and laughed softly: "But why don't we spend so much money, and we can't afford to buy the 'Five Lucky Stars' series, so it's better to let Sanmao go out and shoot." Anyway, one or two dramas can't make any big waves. ”

"That's a good idea." He Yichang nodded in response.

"By the way, Sanmao just said that he ......was idle" Zou Wenhuai frowned and asked, "His "Brave Double Cannon" and "Wrong Reference" have been filmed?" ”

"The filming was finished early, otherwise how could he be idle to film for others." He Xichang pursed his lips and said.

Needless to say, "Brave Double Cannon" is the opening work of Debao. and "Wrong Reference" is Golden Harvest's Christmas movie, which is a fashion urban comedy, in which a little shadow of the 'Five Lucky Stars' can be vaguely seen. But fortunately, neither of these movies is Hong Jingbao's director, so he is so 'idle'.

After making these things clear, Zou Wenhuai didn't bother to care, and said directly: "Forget it." Don't talk about Sanmao. That's right. You asked Yongchang to pay more attention to the Shaw family side in the past few months. ”

"Shaw's side, how did they ......?"

Without waiting for He Xichang to finish speaking, Zou Wenhuai looked out the window and sighed: "The Shaw family is dying." ”

As Zou Wenhuai expected, Shao Yifu returned to Hong Kong shortly after attending his brother's condolence ceremony. In Hong Kong, a series of gossip that Shaw Brothers was going to sell the theater appeared, which immediately caused a shock in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

But when the reporter interviewed Shao Yifu in person, the old man would only shake his head and deny it. As a result, the truth and the truth were tossed down, and outsiders were confused, and they didn't know whether Shaw Brothers sold theaters or not.

But at least for now, it seems that Shaw Brothers has not sold the theater chain.

Hong Kong in December was in such a strange situation, everyone was guessing what Shao Yifu was thinking, and the atmosphere was so cold that even the joy of Christmas was diluted a lot.

However, Zou Wenhuai, who has been keeping an eye on the Shaw family, knows that Shao Yifu's two sons have already done it in Singapore. A Shaw Brothers Theatre in the Lion City has just been converted into a more lucrative commercial building.

Although only one theater has been closed now, everyone who is familiar with the inside story knows that more and more theaters will be closed in Nanyang in the future, and it may not stop until the Shaw Kingdom is completely destroyed.

Because, the real estate and financial industry is too profitable.

The weather in Hong Kong in December is already getting wet and cold. And there was a hurried light rain last night, so the temperature was exceptionally low. However, no matter how low the temperature was, it couldn't disturb Shao Yifu's interest in drinking afternoon tea, and Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua, who were wearing a thick windbreaker and were still very healthy, sat on their special tea party.

Neither of them spoke, or was not interested in speaking, Shao Yifu looked at the scenery outside while drinking tea, while Fang Yihua was looking at the teacup in front of him slowly rubbing.

"What are you thinking?" In the end, Shao Yifu couldn't stand this silence and opened his mouth first.

"It's nothing ......" Fang Yihua shook his head, changed the topic and asked, "Is Sister Zhen's body okay?" ”

Sister Zhen is Huang Meizhen, that is, Shao Yifu's official wife.

This wife, who is five years older than Shao Yifu, is now 81 years old, and her body is naturally not as good as Shao Yifu, who has a long lifespan of 100 years, and is recuperating in the United States at this time. Huang Meizhen and Fang Yihua also knew each other, and even had dinner together and attended a dinner. Outsiders seem to be in harmony with the big and small rooms, but no one knows what is going on inside.

However, Fang Yihua is based in Hong Kong, and Huang Meizhen used to live in Singapore, and now she has moved to the United States to recuperate.

Hearing Fang Yihua's question, Shao Yifu remembered the third brother Shao Renmei, who had just passed away, the closest brother to him, and only lived to be 82 years old.

In an instant, the disturbances in this world gave Shao Yifu a sense of discouragement, and then he said wistfully: "The body is still the same as before, this person is old, and his whole body is sick." ”

"yes, I'm sick all over my body." Fang Yihua muttered.

Shao Yifu tilted his head and suddenly asked, "Are you still thinking about the Shaw Family?" ”

"Heh, can you not want to?" Fang Yihua smiled bitterly, then remembered the Qingli girl she brought back, and continued: "Before you came back, Sixth Brother, I still thought that I could show my strengths, but now I don't know where to show my strengths. ”

"When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic." Shao Yifu said softly: "Let it go, let it go, and even if we don't let go now, we can't do it, hey, those two stinky boys!" ”

Shao Yifu has always believed in Yizi and taught, but as a result, the two children are promising, but his majesty and family affection as a father are much less. Now his two sons are tossing the Shaw Brothers' theater and land to death in Nanyang, and his father, who can't return to Singapore a few times a year, can't say a word that can stop his son.

Now, I can only scold in Hong Kong, thousands of miles away.

"Okay, then I'll let it go, and I'll leave everything to Jiaxi when I go back, I don't care." Fang Yihua seemed to have realized and said loudly.

Shao Yifu smiled and said, "That's right, life is just a few decades, how many things can be managed." ”

"Yes, life is only a few decades." Fang Yihua muttered, and suddenly asked, "Then Sixth Brother, what are you going to do with the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line?" ”

Shao Yifu took a sip of tea, looked out the window and said slowly: "Let's put it first, there are more people staring at this piece of fat in Hong Kong, I am a businessman, and I never like to do loss-making business." ”

"Hmm." Fang Yihua replied gently.

Christmas in 1983 had not yet come, and the Hong Kong entertainment industry was in a hurry, first there was news that Shao Yifu was going to sell theaters, and then Fang Yihua, known as Shaw Brothers Wu Zetian, resigned as a director of Shaw Brothers Pictures, and then at the end of the year, Shaw Brothers 84 years of film production plans were announced, with only 12 films.

is amazing one a month, compared to the previous Shaw Brothers, who used to have almost one movie a week, it really makes people see a hint of the waning taste.

In the midst of this noise and unrest, the Hong Kong film industry ushered in the 83rd anniversary of Christmas prime.
