Fang Yihua is in the limelight during this time, not only in Shaw Brothers, but also wireless.

In terms of Shaw Brothers, a "True Colors of Heroes" overshadowed all movies in the same period and hit a new box office high. Judging from the income of the theater alone, Shaw Brothers earns more than Dark Horse International, and after international cooperation with Dark Horse, Shaw Brothers' account looks much better. This year's theater chain profits even filled last year's deficit.

As for the dissatisfaction of the employees below, she didn't care. Even the veteran director who has made great contributions to the Shaw Brothers complains that she leaves the best schedule for Dark Horse International, violating the rule set by Shao Yifu not to cooperate with independent film companies, she scoffs.

Shaw Brothers is planning to liquidate, as long as it can be sold for a good price, who cares about the previous regulations? It's a pity that Dark Horse International has developed slowly, and only two or three movies have been made in eight or nine months, and if more than a dozen films can be made, Shaw Brothers may be able to retain its cinema chain, which is a stable profit growth point.

It doesn't matter if the employees are not satisfied, as long as Shao Yifu is satisfied. She knew that Pan Disheng was interested in acquiring Shaw Brothers Cinemas, and she had been negotiating with Shao Yifu during this time. Because of the support of the movies produced by Dark Horse International, Shao Yifu had the upper hand at the negotiation table and insisted on the offer. Although Pan Disheng felt that the price was high, he did not change his mind and was still trying to bargain.

In terms of wireless, some time ago, ATV broadcast "Ping Tracer Film", a TV series adapted from Liang Yusheng's novel of the same name, starring Songren Corn, a screen couple, which overwhelmed wirelessly. Fang Yihua threw out "Rogue Tycoon" in a timely manner, and according to the actor designated by Chen Ping'an, Qiu Jiaxiong personally supervised and directed. After the broadcast of "Pingxia Film", TVB immediately launched "Rogue Tycoon", which immediately caused a sensation, and the ratings hit a new high this year, bringing back to its original form ATV, which had gathered a lot of popularity in Tongguò "Pingxia Film".

Shao Daheng saw both achievements in his eyes and praised her. In particular, "Rogue Tycoon" turned the tide, which stabilized Fang Yihua's position in wireless and was supported by many neutral high-level officials.

The movie "The True Color of Heroes" and the TV series "Rogue Tycoon" also made Liu Jialing popular for TVB. Recently, from time to time, there will be rich sons driving luxury cars and waiting outside the door, inviting Liu Jialing to dinner, and wireless plans to increase Liu Jialing's film appointments and scenes.

"Congratulations, Andy, the box office of "The True Color of Heroes" has reached a new high, and I am afraid that next year's Academy Awards will be rounded by you. Tsk, it's been less than a year...... The afterlife is terrifying. Chen Ping'an, who was sitting opposite, had become a mascot in Fang Yihua's eyes.

Aunt Fang praised it. If it weren't for Aunt Fang giving me the opportunity, I would not have been able to achieve what I am today, Aunt Fang's great kindness, the kid will remember it. ”

"Well, I know I'm right, you're not ungrateful. What's the matter with this visit? Won't you have to settle the box office in advance again? ”

"The box office is not in a hurry, I'm here to deliver the script." Chen Ping'an took out a thick script and put it in front of Fang Yihua, and the first page of the script read the four big characters "Golden Decade".

The 60-episode TV series was named TVB's version of The Fourth Generation and ranked 31st in the Top 100 Chinese TV Dramas of the 20th Century by the Malaysian media industry.

Fang Yihua quietly took the script, turned the first page as usual, and watched the list of actors listed above. Zhang Zhaohui, Qi Meizhen, Liu Jialing, Zhang Weijian, Guan Lijie, Ouyang Zhenhua......

"You really know our wireless artists."

"Hehe, the success of a TV series, the actor is also one of the factors. I'm never used to hurting my partners, and Aunt Fang has been so kind to me, so I naturally want to be perfect. Aunt Fang, I stayed up several all-nighters to write this. ”

"Thank you then." Fang Yihua locked the script in a drawer, "I heard that you are working with Xu Ke recently to shoot "Sword and Horse", when will it be completed?" Is it Christmas in time? ”

"Definitely catch-up. But I recently heard a rumor that made me have no intention of filming. ”

"Oh, what rumors?"

"It is said that the sixth uncle plans to close the Shaw Brothers, and the theater is all rented to Pan Disheng, I don't know if it's true or not."

This is the real purpose of Chen Ping'an's trip! Two days ago, Ye Zhiming analyzed the current situation of Shaw Brothers in detail, and also analyzed the personalities of Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua, and finally told Chen Ping'an that in the process of cooperation between the two sides, Shaw Brothers and Dark Horse International are not full of sincerity, and they also hide a hand!

Otherwise, professional things must be handled by professionals. Chen Ping'an suddenly came to his senses, rushed to work for three days, completed the script of "Golden Ten Years", and then came to see Fang Yihua.

Pan Disheng's original intention was indeed to rent, but because of the cooperation between Shaw Brothers and Chen Ping'an, Shao Yifu only sold but not rented, and the price was slightly higher than the market price.

Fang Yihua frowned and said, "Where did you hear the rumors?" Do you believe this kind of gossip? ”

"I can't believe it." Chen Ping'an smiled bitterly, with a sad face, "Aunt Fang, you also know that my Dark Horse International is just an independent film company, and it is thanks to Aunt Fang's support today." If I lose theaters, where will my movies be screened? Golden Harvest is definitely impossible, Princess Jin's Boss Lei may agree, but can Xinyicheng agree? I've stolen the limelight from them a few times. ”

"Andy, you don't have to worry about chasing after the wind and shadows."

"Chasing the wind? This is the news that the people at Debao revealed to me. Aunt Fang, don't hide it from me, even if you want to die, you have to let me be mentally prepared. ”

Chen Ping'an said very pitifully, Fang Yihua hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, since you know everything, I'll sue you." Pan Disheng does intend to rent the theater, but Sir Shao has not agreed, so you don't have to worry about it, make your movie well. If there is a day, I will let you know in advance. ”

"Then thank you Aunt Fang, I'll leave first." Chen Ping'an walked to the door in despair, stood there for a long time, and suddenly turned back, "Aunt Fang, what if I want to buy it?" ”

Fang Yihua was stunned: "Do you want to buy?" Do you know how much money is required for so many theaters? Do you have that much money? ”

There are a total of 16 Shaw Brothers cinemas, and Shao Yifu asks for 120 million, with an average asking price of more than 7 million per theater.

Chen Ping'an didn't want that much. Many of Shaw Brothers' theaters are relatively old, and not all of them are located in prosperous areas, so there is no need to buy them all. Eight is his bottom line, as long as he can buy eight, he will buy two or three independent cinemas, and then build four new cinemas himself, and one fifteen or sixteen is enough.

He selected eight theaters with better geographical locations and offered 70 million, which impressed Fang Yihua. However, he said that he couldn't come up with so much money for the time being, and was willing to use the box office of "True Colors of Heroes" Korean, Japanese and Xingma as a guarantee, promising to pay off the balance before May next year. If he fails to pay when due, even if he defaults, the guarantee will go to Shaw.

With such conditions, Fang Yihua was very tempted. She couldn't be the master, so the next day Chen Ping'an met Shao Yifu in the café of the Peninsula Hotel.

Shao Yifu, who is nearly 80 years old, was in good spirits, and chatted with Chen Ping'an for more than half an hour, and after talking about business for less than five minutes, he promised Chen Ping'an to mention yì, and the two sides signed a formal contract.

When the contract was settled, Chen Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief, and the next day he issued a "Jianghu Fundraising Order" in the "Oriental Daily".

He declared that he was ready to invest $10 million to make a ghost love movie, and called on film companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan to call on them to invest, and only allowed film companies to invest, and did not accept any form of investment from other companies.

As soon as this report was published, it caused a sensation in Hong Kong, and also pushed Chen Ping'an and Dark Horse International to the forefront again.

What is the concept of 10 million US dollars, that is 70 or 80 million Hong Kong dollars! Since the opening of the port, when has Hong Kong ever had such a large investment in films?

Could it be that Dark Horse International plans to enter Hollywood?

This is the only explanation, but it sounds ridiculous.

Both Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have made moves to Hollywood, but they only made their way west after gaining a firm foothold in Hong Kong and establishing a strong foundation. There have been successes and failures, and failure will not shake the foundation of Hong Kong.

What does Dark Horse International have now?

A "Police Story", a "Good Boy", and a "True Colors of Heroes" dared to make bold statements and invest tens of millions of dollars to enter Hollywood...... It is necessary to know that tens of millions of investments in Hollywood are just a small fight, is Chen Ping'an starting to expand blindly again?

Ghost movies are ghost movies, and ghost romance films, how popular can this genre be if you change its name? also made a "Jianghu fund-raising order", isn't it just that there is not enough money?

Good dark horse international, does Chen Ping'an have to toss it out of business before stopping?

If Golden Harvest plans to enter Hollywood, or if Chen Ping'an did not publish the so-called "Jianghu fund-raising order" in the newspaper, it will not attract such high attention from the media. But now, the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan can't pay attention to it, and the "Oriental Daily" publishes Chen Ping'an's "Jianghu Fund-raising Order" every day, and the citizens talk about it non-stop, almost to the point where they are known in the streets.

This time, the media's attitude was not as direct as "The True Color of Heroes", but they all expressed different worries, "Sing Tao Daily" asserted that Dark Horse International would become the brightest meteor in the Hong Kong film industry, and the boss of "Oriental Daily", who had established a tacit understanding with Chen Ping'an, called to inquire about the matter.

Some time ago, the Taiwanese media, which strongly supported Chen Ping'an, also changed their tone, hoping that Chen Ping'an could learn his way back and not bet on the fate of Dark Horse International, and they also looked forward to more and better works coming out in the future.

These days, Chen Ping'an has become a sweet spot in the eyes of reporters in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and as long as Chen Ping'an shows up, he will immediately fall into the circle of reporters. The filming progress of "Dao Ma Dan" was also disturbed by a certain amount of time, Zhong Chuhong was often distracted and always made mistakes during filming, and smashed Xu Ke angrily into the microphone.
