At 9:00, the party lasted for an hour, and the atmosphere was happy. The sixth-year-old uncle of the 100-year-old birthday star looks in good spirits.

The two pillars Wang Mingquan and Zheng Yuling came to the stage together, and when they were about to announce the next performance, Zeng Zhiwei, another pillar of the stage, hurriedly came to the stage and whispered in the ears of the two women. Tell the two women that an important guest has just arrived backstage at the party and wants to suspend the performance.

At the same time, Mrs. Fang in the audience received a text message, and Mrs. Fang showed the content of the text message to Uncle Six, and Uncle Six obviously smiled after reading it. Both knew who was coming.

Many guests in the audience also saw the clues, and when they were curious, Zeng Zhiwei revealed the mystery: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received a notice that three special guests have come to the backstage to celebrate the birthday of Uncle Six. The three guests arrived at this time because the plane was delayed. ”

Zeng Zhiwei paused, and then shouted loudly with joy: "There are Chen Lin and Yu Yu and his wife below." and the little princess Chen Rongrong. ”

Wow~~ Many guests applauded unconsciously when they heard the two thunderous names of Chen Lin and Yuyu, and stretched their necks reflexively. The people in the back row even stood up.

Chen Lin and his wife held their daughter's hand and appeared on the stage with thunderous applause.

The couple did not stay on the stage, and walked directly to Uncle Shao Liu to congratulate the old man.

"Sixth uncle, I wish you a happy old man like the East China Sea, and a longevity better than Nanshan."

Chen Lin Yuyu and his wife paid their birthday together. Then he dedicated the two wreaths in his hand to the sixth uncle and Mrs. Fang, and the next highlight was that her 5-year-old daughter Rongrong was going to celebrate her grandfather's birthday.

Rong Rong first saw Grandpa Shao for the first time, but she was smart and clever, she quickly remembered her parents' teachings, and said in a milky voice: "Grandpa, happy birthday!" ”

The little princess also held a cluster of flowers in her hand, and she held it high to give it to her grandfather.

"Hahaha!" Rong Rong's grandfather's sixth uncle smiled, he took the flowers and said happily: "Okay, good, what a good granddaughter." ”

The sixth uncle couldn't help but caress Rong Rong's little head lovingly, and asked, "Rong Rong, tell grandpa how old you are this year?" ”

"I'm five years old?" Rong Rong looked at her grandfather with a pair of dark eyes, and suddenly said happily: "Grandpa, I want to eat cake with you and blow out the candles, okay?" ”

"Eating cake? Good. "There was no cake at the party, and Uncle Six was about to order someone to prepare the cake.

At this time, Rong Rong was really excited to hold her father's hand and shouted, "Dad, I want to eat cake with grandpa, you take out the cake quickly!" ”

"The cake is going to be taken out right away, but you're going to sing a birthday song to grandpa." Chen Lin said with a smile, her daughter inherited her mother's cleverness, and she obviously wanted to eat cake by herself. "Rong Rong, you have to get ready to sing a birthday song to your grandfather, and the cake will come out as soon as you sing it."

"En" Rong Rong nodded hurriedly, and then sang very happily: "Grandpa, I wish you a happy birthday-"

Rong Rong just started to sing the first sentence, and suddenly a singing voice came from behind the stage: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you-"

With the singing, Chen Long, Zhou Yanfa, and Zhou Xingchi, who were in Hong Kong and Hong Kong, pushed a 3-meter-high giant cake with 100 candles lit on it, and the three of them were still singing birthday songs.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you"

All the guests stood up and sang the birthday song together, and the atmosphere of the scene reached its peak.

After 20 minutes, the raucous atmosphere has passed. Chen Lin suddenly walked up to the stage with the microphone and said loudly: "Sixth Uncle, guests, in fact, there is an old friend of Sixth Uncle in the background, and he has been waiting for a long time. ”

"Hey, who's here, which old friend of mine is it?" The sixth uncle looked at Mrs. Fang beside him in surprise, but Mrs. Fang shook her head and didn't know who it was.

"Next, I invite this old friend of the sixth uncle. See who it is? Chen Lin went backstage while speaking.

Everyone in the audience looked curiously, Uncle Six's old friend should also have a very high seniority, who is it?

A minute later, Chen Lin walked out with a gray-haired old man in his arms. "Wow-" All the incredible looked at the old man who appeared unexpectedly, even the sixth uncle was excited when he saw him, and stood up tremblingly under Fang Tai's support.

The person who came was Zou Wenhuai, the former chairman of Golden Harvest Film Group. Everyone was surprised. The reason why the sixth uncle himself is excited is that the two old men have been fighting for half their lives.

The grievances between Shaw and Zou Wenhuai are a well-known part of the history of the Hong Kong film industry. A big reason for the prosperity and decline of Shaw Brothers is because Zou Wenhuai, the old department of Shaw * Run Fu, set up another stove and established Golden Harvest Film Company.

Zou Wenhuai, who single-handedly created the glorious history of Golden Harvest Pictures. He is a well-known figure in Hong Kong and even the world film industry, and in the film industry, his popularity is even higher than that of Shaw * Run Husband.

In 1958, Zou Wenhuai joined Shaw Brothers, starting from the director of the publicity department and until he was promoted to general manager. Zou Wenhuai is well versed in marketing and publicity, and Shao * Yifu saw that he was also like a treasure, and obeyed Zou Wenhuai's words. Zou Wenhuai has worked in Shaw Brothers for 12 years and has been playing the role of the first capable minister under Shaw *Run Off. He proposed the establishment of a large-scale studio system, and the "martial arts" pattern planned together with He Guanchang, which made Shaw Brothers films unique in the Hong Kong film industry at that time. It also ushered in the first glorious period of Hong Kong films.

With Shaw's determination to weaken film investment and increase the construction of TV City. and the rise of Ms. Fang, who later became Mrs. Shaw, the contradiction is on the verge of breaking out. Zou Wenhuai then led his subordinates to form Golden Harvest Pictures.

Since then, this pair of golden partners has become rivals, and the two sides have had a very deep grudge over the years, although the two have reconciled in the 80s, and have collaborated on several films at one time, but the thorn stuck in the hearts of the two has not been completely removed. For so many years, it has been a good match.

From 1970, Zou Wenhuai set up his own door, and 37 years have passed since 2007, this is the first time he has appeared on TVB, and he has appeared on an occasion of extraordinary significance in Taiqing.

At this time, Chen Long also walked on stage and accompanied Zou Wenhuai to Shao Yifu with Chen Lin.

Spanning more than 30 years, these two old men, who have been about the development of Hong Kong movies for half a century, looked at each other face to face, and Zou Wenhuai suddenly smiled: "Do you know? It is the most brilliant thing in Jiahe, and some people say that my Zou Wenhuai is not as good as Shao * Yifu, I am very unconvinced, what is not as good as you in my Zou Wenhuai? ”

The old man seemed excited, he breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "But today I know that it is indeed not as good as you?" He laughed: "Shao Lao Liu, you are 20 years older than me, but you seem younger than me, and you still have spirit, I think I am not as good as you should be." ”

After laughing, Zou Wenhuai stretched out his hand, and his tone was low, full of sincerity: "Sixth brother, I wish you a happy birthday!" ”

All the grievances and grievances in the heart of Shaw * Yifu, who called "Sixth Brother", dissipated, and a thorn stuck in the hearts of the two old men finally dissipated.

Shaw Yifu grabbed Zou Wenhuai's hand, and a smile appeared on his face: "It's been more than 30 years, and I'm very happy to hear you call me Sixth Brother again." We're both a lot old, and it doesn't matter what happened before, I thought you were going to die with me. ”

"Hahaha." Zou Wenhuai laughed heartily: "I thought about it, we have been fighting for half a lifetime, if we don't get old and don't talk about it, I think it's too boring to have such a day." ”

As he spoke, Zou Wenhuai opened his arms, and the two old men hugged tightly.

At this time, the audience burst into warm applause, and everyone was very moved, moved that the two old men were able to abandon their previous suspicions and smile at their enmity.

So far, Sir Shaw's 100th birthday and TVB's 40th anniversary party have come to an end.

The next day, a news came out from within TVB that attracted the attention of the entire entertainment industry: Jade Emperor Entertainment Group was negotiating mergers and acquisitions with TVB.

In recent years, as Shaw * Run Shaw has grown older, it has been rumored several times that he wants to transfer TVB, which later turned out to be fake news, but this time the target is Jade Emperor Entertainment Group, and the possibility is very high.

Thinking of the scene of the two family members of the Jade Emperor Group taking the woman to celebrate her birthday in person, it is not difficult to guess that the possibility of Jade Emperor Entertainment acquiring TVB is very high.

Sure enough, three days later, Chen Lin, chairman of Jade Emperor Entertainment Group, was interviewed by Liu Ming, a reporter from Ming Daily, confirming the speculation of the outside world that Jade Emperor Entertainment Group and TVB have entered substantive negotiations on the merger and acquisition.

As soon as the news of the interview came out that day, the stock prices of Jade Emperor Entertainment and TVB both rose by 10%, which shows that the market is optimistic about this merger and acquisition.

On December 28, 2007, after a month of negotiations, Jade Emperor Entertainment finally announced that it would acquire 30% of TVB's shares in the hands of Sir Shaw * Shaw for 8 billion Hong Kong dollars, officially becoming the largest shareholder of TVB.

TVB ushered in a new owner, this battleship has joined the Jade Emperor Entertainment aircraft carrier formation, and will sail out of Victoria Harbor in the future and move towards a wider sea.
