"Stinky boy!"

Jin Yong laughed and scolded after listening to Li Xuan's words, patted him on the shoulder and continued: "With your investment of eight million, you don't need to show me the script, just give me a few movie tickets when the time comes!" ”

Kim Yong is really happy now!

The performance of the "Ming Pao" newspaper group is booming, and the top brass in the north have begun to extend green branches to him repeatedly. TV series adapted from his novels, such as the Mi Yan version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and Zheng Shaoqiu's version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", have caused a sensation in Hong Kong and attracted tens of thousands of people to watch. And movies such as Chu Yuan's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer Finale" broke the box office record in Taiwan, and the cinema even sold out the standing tickets, which can be described as an unprecedented grand occasion.

But more importantly, Taiwan lifted the ban on his martial arts novels, and a huge market that had never been open to him before appeared. The aforementioned wonderful version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", why did all the protagonists change their names? It was because Shaw Brothers replaced the movie in order to sell it to Taiwan. Of course, the reason why Kim Yong's martial arts novels were banned now sounds ridiculous, the Taiwanese authorities actually thought that Ming Pao was a leftist newspaper, and then Shunto touched the big boss Kim Yong, and then his novels were banned in Taiwan. However, in fact, before Jin Yong really came into contact with the high-level leaders in the mainland, "Ming Pao" had a distinctly rightist color.

As for Jin Yong's change of attitude later, it can only be said that he followed Shao Yifu's footsteps and secretly went north once, and was also subdued.

And at this moment, there is a person who actually said in front of Jin Yong that he would invest 8 million to adapt and shoot his martial arts novel. This is not a small fight that the Shaw Brothers often has for more than ten or two hundred thousand, how complicated Jin Yong's mood is at this time, others dare not guess, but that pride and pride can be clearly felt by Li Xuan.

"Okay, I'll personally send you the movie tickets when the time comes!" Li Xuan arched his hand towards Jin Yong, then looked at Shao Yifu, and asked casually, "Sixth Uncle, then what are you going to do now?" ”

"Young people just dare to fight! No one in Hong Kong would dare to do this kind of money. Shao Yifu let out a dry wry smile, glanced at Li Xuan and continued: "I'm hesitating now whether to co-produce or not, and put the copyright in my hand for half a year." I'm afraid that as soon as your martial arts film comes out, our Shaw Brothers' lifeline will have to fall. ”

The Shaw Brothers' signature and pillar of life are, of course, those old-fashioned martial arts movies. Although these martial arts films are generally not as high at the box office as those very brilliant fashion films, they are stable and stable, and they are a business that Shaw Brothers has been making steady profits.

"Sixth uncle, don't worry, your life pillar can't fall." Li Xuan wiped his hands with a napkin and continued: "How much does it cost me to make a film, how much does it cost you to make a film; How much time it takes me to make a film, how much time do you spend. You Shaw Brothers, now it can be said that it is a small profit but a quick turnover, and after my movie comes out, you will at most be a little thinner. ”

"Your mouth is really damaging ......," Shao Yifu pointed at Li Xuan and scolded with a smile.

"Seriously, Uncle Six." Li Xuan put down the napkin in his hand, looked at Shao Yifu seriously and asked, "Haven't you considered reforming the Shao Brothers?" ”

As soon as Li Xuan asked, the three people at the table instantly fell silent.

Shao Yifu didn't answer immediately, but looked at the wide street outside the hotel, until after more than ten seconds of silence, Shao Yifu turned back to Li Xuan and said: "The current Shaw Brothers is like an unmanned high-speed classic car, what can I do to stop it?" Or do you have a way, Ah Xuan? As he spoke, Shao Yifu suddenly laughed again and looked at Li Xuan with a playful expression.

"Well, I don't have the skills!" Li Xuan hurriedly waved his hand, and then continued: "I just think that the Shaw Brothers feel a little bit like a thin West Mountain, which is a pity." ”

"Ha, you offspring, don't panic when you say bad things about the Shaw Brothers in front of me, the head of the Shaw Brothers." Shao Yifu teased Li Xuan slightly, and continued: "You also play movies, let me tell you the truth, I have already thought about the future of Shaw Brothers." ”

"Already thought about it?"

Shao Yifu's words only made Li Xuan's eyes light up, this is big gossip.

"Hmmm......"

Shao Yifu nodded, picked up his teacup and took a sip, and then said slowly: "Now I have prepared two roads, the first is to let this praying mantis jump on the car and fiddle with it little by little until the car stops safely." As for the second ......"

Shao Yifu suddenly paused and didn't speak again, his slightly squinted eyes seemed to have lost focus, and only his right hand was still firmly grasping the handle of the teacup. And on the back of that old hand, green tendons are disappearing from time to time.

"Second, that praying mantis doesn't care about the car, let the classic car be smashed directly?" Li Xuan took the following words instead of Shao Yifu. And this second article is also what the later generations of Shaw did in desperation after implementing the method of the first article for several years did not work.

"Haha, young man is interesting, you are half right." Shao Yifu's fugue thoughts were obviously swept back by Li Xuan's words, and he looked at Li Xuan and laughed.

"Half?"

Li Xuan asked with some surprise, could it be that the Shaw Brothers could still make any moves?

"yes, half!" Shao Yifu nodded and said with a smile: "The praying mantis doesn't care about the car, but always follows the classic car, and when the car is broken, it will take those parts and build a new car." Although the new car is small and broken, it is a car that a praying mantis can drive. ”

"Do you want to die and live?" Li Xuan suddenly asked.

Shao Yifu nodded slightly and responded: "Well, that's the idea for the time being." Of course, this second way, I will not do it until the most difficult time. ”

Li Xuan didn't think about when Shao Yifu would take the second path now, he was recalling what he did after Shaw Brothers announced the suspension of production in later generations.

It's a pity that it's good that he can remember the three major film companies in Hong Kong, how can he remember those side details. Anyway, according to the history of later generations, Shaw Brothers' move must not have made any name for himself in his later life.

"Ah Xuan." Looking at Li Xuan, who was slightly stunned, Shao Yifu called softly.

"Huh?"

"What I just said is a bit off-topic." Shao Yifu was old at the time, rubbed his eyebrows and continued: "The plan you asked me about before, according to my investment, it can only account for one percent of the share, which is too little. As for the additional investment, the rest of Shaw Brothers will definitely have an opinion, so ......"

So? So you go on!

Li Xuan looked at Shao Yifu, who was silent and scolded, you don't want to refuse directly, you don't mind waiting for more than half a year to get the copyright. But now you neither agree nor refuse, and you don't want to spend more money and want to make movies and participate in more shares, isn't this tantamount to grabbing money from Li Xuan's pocket!

But Shao Yifu's status in Hong Kong is not low, and Li Xuan can't directly offend him. After thinking about it for a while, seeing that Shao Yifu's sentence had not yet been spoken, Li Xuan asked with a headache: "Sixth uncle, can all the props of the Shaw Brothers be solved?" ”

"Most of them do!" Shao Yifu nodded and responded: "You should know that our Shaw Brothers' factory warehouse is the largest in Southeast Asia, of course, you can also customize some special props." ”

"Custom-made ......" Li Xuan pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Sixth uncle, I can give you twenty percent of the share, but not more." ”

In the end, it was Li Xuan who admitted defeat first, and this old man became a refinement.

"Twenty percent?" Shao Yifu muttered silently, and only after half a sound did he raise his head and say, "Yes, although this is a little different from our Shaw Brothers' style." ”

"Can I ask a question? Sixth uncle. Li Xuan looked up at Shao Yifu seriously and said, "Why did Uncle Sixth decide to invest in a co-production before he saw my script?" ”

"Haha, do you know how many people in Hong Kong want to invest in your movies now?" Shao Yifu suddenly replied with a smile.

"What?"

Shao Yifu's brainless words made Li Xuan stunned for a moment.

"Someone has participated in the filming of six films, one with a bigger investment than the other, and one more profitable than the other! And all of them are all missed, do you know how many filmmakers in Hong Kong want to please you? Shao Yifu looked at Li Xuan and continued to tease: "Look, someone's investment in this new drama is even greater, I still have to hurry up and get in the car to see what this person has to do this, and by the way, I can learn two tricks to find a way to live for myself." And ......"

Shao Yifu glanced at Li Xuan carefully, and said slowly: "Moreover, I remember that Zhang Ce seems to have said something to you." ”

"A word?" Li Xuan was stunned for a moment and immediately asked, "Why are you ......?"

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, Li Xuan suddenly slapped his forehead, came to his senses and continued: "Let the sixth uncle laugh, Master Zhang Ce is also falsely praised. ”

"Haha, I still believe in his vision, so I want to try it too." Shao Yifu continued: "It's okay to try, if you don't try, you can only take the second way. By the way, Ah Xuan, the matter of these two roads today cannot be spread outside. ”

"Well, Uncle Six, please rest assured, I know the seriousness of the matter." Li Xuan nodded and responded, "That sixth uncle, when can I go to the Shaw Brothers' factory to have a look?" ”

"What, in such a hurry? You haven't finished the script yet. Shao Yifu asked in surprise.

"It's not an urgency, it's ......" Li Xuan frowned and said, "But I'm afraid that many props may need to be customized." ”

A lot of props need to be customized? Shao Yifu's face darkened slightly. He just boasted in front of Li Xuan that his factory warehouse is the largest in Southeast Asia, but he didn't think that this posterior boy would say that many props need to be customized in a blink of an eye.

Are you sure this guy isn't slapping his old face? (To be continued.) )
