Chapter 179: True Purpose
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the white golf ball hit the ball blocking net, Shao Renmei put down the club in his hand and shook his head lightly and said, "Hey, this person is old, and his eyesight and hand power are useless." ”
"Haha." Li Xuan said with a smile: "The third uncle's health is not bad, and you still have to live." ”
Shao Renmei waved his hand, walked back to the sofa and sat down and said, "You can continue to compliment me, since the eldest and second left a few years ago, my body is getting worse and worse." It's the sixth child, and his body is still so good. This blessing, but I can't envy it. ”
Li Xuan looked at Shao Renmei, who had an envious face, and nodded quietly, Shao Yifu's health is really good, Li Xuan will still be alive and well when he crosses over, and he is a person who is more than a hundred years old!
Putting down the golf club in his hand, Li Xuan also sat on the sofa and asked curiously: "Third Uncle came to me this time, I'm afraid it's not just because of curiosity that he wants to meet the younger generations." ”
Shao Renmei, who was wiping the club with a cloth, was slightly stunned, then looked at Li Xuan and said with a smile: "Indeed, I came to Ah Xuan this time, and I really want to talk to you about other things." ”
"Oh?" Li Xuan straightened his body and asked suspiciously, "I don't know what else is going on with the third uncle?" ”
Throwing the cloth towel in his hand aside, Shao Renmei asked while looking at the shiny club in his hand, "Ah Xuan, what do you think of Shaw Pictures?" ”
Shaw Brothers?
Shao Renmei's question made Li Xuan slightly stunned, the full name of Shaw Brothers Pictures should be called Shaw Brothers Co., Ltd., and the brothers in this are Shao Yifu and Shao Renmei. It's just that this Shao Renmei has long been just asking about the internal affairs of Shaw Brothers, but is concentrating on managing Shaw Brothers Cinemas and real estate business in Singapore, but Shao Renmei is now asking what he thinks of Shaw Brothers Pictures?
"Shaw Brothers Films......" Li Xuan paused slightly before continuing: "If you don't reform, you will die; Reform also has to die, but if it is reformed, it may be able to live for a few more years. ”
"Haha, yes, I have to die. That's why I'm hiding far away, otherwise I guess I'll have to live a few years less. Listening to Li Xuan's words, Shao Renmei smiled: "But it seems that the sixth child still wants to have a last fight." ”
"A last stand?" Li Xuan muttered to himself.
"yes." Shao Renmei shook his head and said regretfully: "Ah Xuan, you only know that our Shao family has a great cause, I'm afraid you don't know that our Shao family is also full of factions." ”
Li Xuan shook his head and chuckled, "Third uncle, I really don't know this. ”
"Hey, the sixth child is not having a good time." Shao Renmei sighed and said: "For your "Smiling Proud Jianghu", he has put a lot of effort into it. Our Shaw Brothers directors are now basically divided into three factions - the veteran faction headed by Zhang Ce, Li Hanxiang and Chu Yuan, the Shaozhuang faction led by Hua Shan and Gui Zhihong, and of course, the newcomer faction who is only three or two kittens now. Ah Xuan, do you know which people in a big feudal family are the most opposed to reform? ”
Who is most opposed to reform? Does this need to be asked? Meta ......, of course
Li Xuan was just about to answer, but suddenly remembered the directors who had left early during the Shaw Brothers test film last time, and then he said in surprise: "Are those young Zhuang factions?" ”
"Hehe, smart!" Shao Renmei nodded and said with a smile: "It's not those vested interests, nor those who have not obtained interests, but those who have obtained interests." ”
"They would even oppose reform?" Li Xuan was a little stunned and speechless, which was very different from what he had always guessed.
Shao Renmei also shook his head slightly, and continued: "The Shao family has a big business, and there are many internal factions. Now that Zhang Ce is old, his ears are not good, and Li Hanxiang's health is not good, and he recently went to the mainland to make movies. These two people have now vacated a big piece of cake for the Shaw Brothers, do you think those young Zhuang factions will have any ideas? ”
"That's for sure." Li Xuan nodded and replied, "If it were me, I would have an idea." ”
"Alas, crying children have milk to drink." Shao Renmei sighed and said slowly: "Just for your movie, Huashan and the others have already made trouble in front of Fang Yihua several times, but the sixth child came forward in person, and it was not easy to appease them. ”
Hua Shan, one of the great directors of the Shaw Brothers Shaozhuang School. In his early years, he followed the director of Masaki Nishimoto, and worked hard for many years at Shaw Brothers before he was officially promoted to director. In recent years, this guy has made a lot of martial arts movies in Shaw Brothers, and the box office is not bad, and he can be said to be the leading figure in the Shaozhuang faction.
Li Xuan now heard these inside information of the Shaw Brothers, so he had to smile helplessly: "I made this movie, why bother!" ”
"Haha." Shao Renmei suddenly laughed, patted Li Xuan's shoulder and said, "Don't say such frustrating words, I said it all, your movie is the result of the sixth child's preparation to give it a go." ”
"My movie is ......" Li Xuan's eyes widened in surprise, he looked at Shao Renmei and asked, "Is Uncle Sixth also going to establish a satellite film company?" ”
Hearing Li Xuan's words, Shao Renmei first shook his head, then nodded and said, "The sixth child hasn't thought about establishing a satellite company for the time being, this is too difficult. What he wants now is to find someone to co-produce first or simply invest in an outside director to shoot to knock on this backwater in the jar. ”
As Shao Renmei spoke, he suddenly stood up and walked to the side of the batting position, and continued: "It looks pretty good now, especially when your movie robs Chu Yuan's movie schedule, the bitter master has nothing to say, and the others are suddenly quiet." ”
"Uh......" Li Xuan asked embarrassedly, "I robbed Master Chu's movie schedule?" ”
"yes." Shao Renmei put down a new golf ball and said while wiping the rod: "Originally, this New Year's file, Shao Brothers originally planned to release Chu Yuan's "Magic Sword Heroes", but later they gave way to you. Haha, this Shaw Brothers' cash cow and pillars have made way for you, what else do others have to say? ”
"Uhhh
There was a soft sound, but it was Shao Renmei who was happy and struggled to swing the golf club in his hand.
Li Xuan also walked to Shao Renmei's side, looked at the golf ball that crashed into the blocking net, and asked casually: "The reform carried out by the sixth uncle, but you are not optimistic about the third uncle, so what are you looking for me this time?" ”
Shao Renmei glanced at Li Xuan, then let go of the batting position and said with a smile: "I just said that Shaw Brothers plans to find someone to co-produce or invest in an outside director to film." If the sixth child was embarrassed to say it, my brother said it for him. The reason why I asked Ah Xuan to come over this time is because I think that if the Shaw Brothers asks you for help in the future, I hope you don't refuse. ”
"Well, this is natural, the sixth uncle asked me to film, and that is also a face. But ......" Li Xuan asked suspiciously: "But third uncle, aren't you also optimistic about the reform of the Shaw Clan?" ”
"Alas!"
Shao Renmei let out a long sigh, watched Li Xuan put down a golf ball on the batting position, and continued: "After all, Shaw Brothers Pictures is the hard work of me and Lao Liu for many years, although I know that it will die, but I don't want it to die in front of me, it can drag on for a few years." As for after I die, haha, I don't care if he floods after I die! ”
"Uhhh
Listening to Shao Renmei's rather arrogant words, Li Xuan also struggled to swing his club, is this the real purpose of Shao Yifu and himself to co-produce "Smiling Proud Jianghu"? (To be continued.) )
