Just as Wang Jin was worried, he didn't know that in the general manager's office of the wireless headquarters building, there was an old man who was looking at him condescendingly, and he was also worried.

Fang Yihua walked into Shao Yifu's office with a few reports and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Hehe, I'm looking at that kid from Tianlin's family." Shao Yifu said with a bitter smile in fluent Chinese.

Shao Yifu grew up in Shanghai since he was a child, and later followed his brother to Nanyang to start a business. It's a pity that Shao Yifu didn't go to Hong Kong until he was in his fifties, and missed the best period for learning languages. Therefore, he has been in Hong Kong for more than 20 years, and Cantonese is still in the stage of listening. At this time, Shao Yifu was giving a speech outside, and in order to show his closeness to the people, he found someone to read through the manuscript in Cantonese in advance and record it, and he read and learned it over and over again.

As for the position of general manager, although Li Xiaohe is still the chairman of the board of directors of wireless at this time, due to physical reasons, most of the power has been handed over. Shao Yifu, as the major shareholder of wireless, directly sat on the throne of general manager.

"Wang Jin? What did he do again? Fang Yihua asked suspiciously.

"It's okay...... Shao Yifu waved his hand, walked to the desk and sat down and asked, "You went to see Tianlin yesterday, and he didn't agree?" ”

The reason why Shao Yifu asked the question was not that Fang Yihua didn't tell him about yesterday's incident and went home in the evening, but that this "couple" did not "live together" at all. Shao Yifu has a wife in his new home, and Fang Yihua can only be regarded as a "little concubine". But this Fang Yihua is also tough, how can a couple of men and women who are not married live together? So the two live in their own homes, and they usually go to work on TV stations or studios together. Only Zhou said that Fang Yihua would drive to Shao's house, have lunch with Shao Yifu, and then stay for a few hours and leave.

"Hmmm! It's up to the mother to say anything, the son's business is in charge of the son's affairs, this Wang Tian ......" Fang Yihua shook his head and replied hatefully.

"Hey—"

Shao Yifu sighed lonely, interrupted Fang Yihua's words, and then said: "What a big girl." ”

Shao Yifu is a big girl, but he is not talking about Wang Jin, but Shaw Brothers Pictures and Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

In recent years, the box office of Hong Kong movies has been getting higher and higher, but there are few high-grossing movies that belong to Shaw Brothers. Especially in the past two years, Shaw Brothers has repeatedly lost to Golden Harvest in the prime time. This made Shao Yifu, who is known as the master of Oriental Hollywood, feel a deep sense of frustration in his heart, is it true that Shaw Brothers is really going to decline?

Shao Yifu was aware of this, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The decline of Shaw Brothers is not reflected in the decrease in its annual production. On the contrary, its production has skyrocketed this year, with twenty films released in the first half of the year alone.

What is this concept? Golden Harvest Pictures, a subsidiary of Golden Harvest Group, only released three movies in the first half of the year!

The contrast is huge!

Why is this happening?

This is the evil result of the big-studio system that Shaw Brothers has always adhered to.

People are greedy, and the big studio system leads to the lack of positive surnames for directors, which leads to the poor quality of most of the films released by Shaw Brothers, the poor quality of the films causes low attendance, and the decrease in attendance causes a decrease in the number of days of a single film, and the reduction in the number of days must make more movies to make up for the scarcity of film sources, and in order to make more movies, the production cost of a single film will inevitably be reduced, and the reduction in production costs will lead to a decline in the quality of the film.

This creates a very disgusting cycle of bad surnames.

More than a dozen movie theaters of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line are placed there, and they lose money every day if they don't show movies, so Shaw Brothers has to increase the production of films to meet the needs of its own theater chain.

The two companies, Shaw Brothers Pictures and Shaw Brothers Cinemas, are like two poisonous snakes biting each other's tails, waiting to poison each other step by step.

Shao Yifu just wants to reform, but when he sees that the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, he can't bear to cut any side.

How could Fang Yihua, who was good at observing words and feelings, not know what Shao Yifu was thinking at this time, hurriedly put down the report in his hand, walked behind Shao Yifu, rubbed his shoulders and comforted: "Sixth brother, in the next few decades, TV will also develop." We must do a good job in this movie, and we must also do a good job in television, as long as we do one of them, we are still in an invincible position. ”

Fang Yihua's words are good, but this overtly and secretly means that we should concentrate on the TV station. Shao Yifu, how could he not hear it, but he was used to hearing this pillow wind, and he didn't answer, so he just let Fang Yihua say it.

To say that this Fang Yihua is also a good person, she was originally a singer in Nanyang, and later followed Shao Yifu, who was more than 20 years older than her. After coming to Hong Kong in 1969, he entered Shaw Brothers Pictures and started working behind the scenes. This woman started from the lowest level of occupation, and because of the relationship she knew, she mastered the financial and procurement power of Shaw Brothers in less than a year.

However, this woman with a smooth career provoked a person at this time, that is, Zou Wenhuai, the later boss of Jiahe. Of course, Zou Wenhuai was only the publicity director of Shaw Brothers Pictures at that time. However, don't underestimate him, Zou Wenhuai was a figure above 10,000 people under one person at that time in the Shaw Brothers. At that time, the general manager of Shaw Brothers was only responsible for the distribution of the film.

Now such a good character is actually controlled by a woman in finances and procurement, isn't this hollowed out?

At this time, Zou Wenhuai also discovered the shortcomings of the blockbuster studio system, and proposed his opinion to Shao Yifu, wanting to revise the red system. However, it is a pity that Run Run Shaw followed the business philosophy of "sole proprietorship and self-responsibility" all his life, how could he agree to this opinion.

Finally, after enduring it for a year, Zou Wenhuai, who had joined the Shaw Brothers for 12 years, parted ways with his two friends He Yichang, Cai Yongchang and Shao Yifu.

It's just that she didn't think that this time she was following Fang Yihua's wishes, and since then, she has replaced Zou Wenhuai's position above 10,000 people in Shaw Brothers Pictures and become the production manager of Shaw Brothers.

However, this woman has worked in Shaw Brothers Pictures for more than ten years, and she also found that Shaw Brothers Pictures has a bit of a thin West Mountain flavor, and she began to find a new way for herself. At this time, the chairman of the board of directors of TVB, Lee Hyo-he, began to feel unwell and began to look for a new successor to the TV station. Fang Yihua began to blow the wind on the pillow again, but Shao Yifu spent a lot of money to bid for the management rights of TVB, and finally succeeded in taking control of TVB.

Seeing that Shao Yifu didn't reply for a long time, Fang Yihua asked quietly: "Sixth brother, are you still reluctant to Shao Brothers?" ”

"Yes, Shaw Brothers is my hard work for more than 20 years, how can I not take it to heart. Don't worry, I started from scratch back then, and I survived the most difficult times, I don't believe it won't work this time! Shao Yifu, who was already in his seventies, patted the back of Yihua's hand above his shoulder and said with a proud face.

"That's right!" Shao Yifu suddenly shouted: "You brought the report in, is it that the ratings haven't improved?" ”

When it came to the TV station, Fang Yihua was much more energetic, picked up the report on the table and handed it to Shao Yifu and said: "The ratings are too low, our unit drama can't be put down, and many advertisers have called to complain about ......"

"Can't put down the unit drama?" Shao Yifu looked at the report and paused, then threw the report on the table, closed his eyes and said, "Since you can't put it down, then don't put it down!" ”

"Don't let go?"

"Well, don't let it go!" Shao Yifu nodded: "What has Qiu Guan been doing lately?" ”

Fang Yihua thought for a while and said, "It seems to be making a movie called "Famous Sword". ”

"Famous Sword?" Shao Yifu opened his eyes and looked out the window and asked, "Which film company?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Fang Yihua paused, and said tangledly: "Jiahe ......"

"Forehead ......"

This time, Shao Yifu was also stunned.

"Well, you have something to do with him?" Fang Yihua asked in a low voice.

Shao Yifu took a deep breath and said: "Let him finish filming as soon as possible, don't we still have the copyright of "Chu Liuxiang" here, find someone to shoot it." ”

Hearing this, Fang Yihua's eyes lit up: "Martial arts fighting in the ring? ”

"Hmm!"

"Who's going to be the producer?"

"Who else?" Shao Yifu said silently: "In addition to Wang Tianlin, who else is the best at filming martial arts dramas?" ”

Wang Tianlin? Fang Yihua was stunned for a moment, but with a decision, this woman didn't ink, and said to Shao Yifu: "Then I'll arrange it now!" ”

"Well, there you go." Shao Yifu nodded.

"Bang."

There was a soft knock, and the office door was gently shut.

Shao Yifu, who was sitting in the chair, closed his eyes and leaned back on the back of the chair, thinking of the man who had just walked with Wang Jin.

"Li Xuan? Interesting......"

"Li Xuan! What do you mean? Putting down a large bag of clothes in his hand, Wang Jin stood in Li Xuan's new home and asked Li Xuan viciously.

"What do you mean?" Li Xuan's face was inexplicable, but his hands were constantly assembling a bunch of piano parts.

Wang Jin hurriedly walked up to Li Xuan and asked loudly: "You can invest 3.5 million yuan in Liu Xiwei to make a movie, why only give me ......?"

"Bang Bang!"

There was a crisp sound at the door.

Li Xuan and Wang Jin turned their heads to look and saw Zhong Chuhong standing at the door with a surprised expression. At her feet lay a broken flower pot, and the luxuriant spider plants swayed in the breeze.
