"You said that Shaw Brothers is going to sell all of the theaters to Debao Film Company." Gu Chen was shocked when he heard Zeng Zhiwei inadvertently say something, and then he remembered that in his previous life, Shaw Brothers sold its film company to the wealthy businessman Pan Disheng's Debao Film Company at about this time, and officially stopped production soon after. As a result, Debao Film Company replaced Shaw Brothers and became one of the three major film companies in Hong Kong.

Originally, he just made a phone call to Zeng Zhiwei to learn about the company's recent situation, but he didn't expect to hear such a news, countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and the next moment he made a decision, saying: "Have they already negotiated?" ”

"Not yet, I heard that the Shaw Brothers bid too high, but the preliminary intention has been negotiated, I'm afraid it will be officially signed soon, why are you asking this?"

Zeng Zhiwei's last sentence was just a casual question, but what he didn't expect was that Gu Chen said something that almost shocked his jaw: "What if I buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas?" ”

"Buying Shaw Cinemas? No kidding. Zeng Zhiwei's first reaction was that Gu Chen was joking, but then he felt that Gu Chen shouldn't joke about such a thing, and after a pause, Zeng Zhiwei asked cautiously in a tentative tone: "You won't be serious, right?" ”

"Do you think I'm joking?" Gu Chen's rhetorical question made Zeng Zhiwei speechless for a while, and then said after a while: "In recent years, the output of Shaw Brothers films has been decreasing, and there have not been a few really blockbuster movies, in fact, they have long been surpassed by Golden Harvest and New Arts City, and the reason why they can still maintain their former status is mainly due to the cinemas they master, if any film company can win these cinemas, it means that it will be possible to replace Shaw Brothers' position in the Hong Kong film industry in the near future, Pan Disheng should be playing this idea." However, the negotiation between Shaw Brothers and Debao has entered the most difficult stage, and with Shao Liu's status in Hong Kong, I am afraid that it will be ...... to let him go back on his word at this most critical juncture, and according to my estimate, all the Shaw Brothers cinema chains are worth at least hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, which is ......"

Zeng Zhiwei didn't say it explicitly, but Gu Chen could naturally hear what he meant, but as Zeng Zhiwei said, if he wanted to realize the ambitions and ambitions in his heart, it was only possible to master the theater. Otherwise, no matter how good the movie is, after all, it will be a flower in the moon mirror in his heart, as long as others get a little stuck in his neck, he can only bow his head and appoint, so even if it is difficult, he has to give it a try: "You don't have to worry about this, I will solve it." ”

Zeng Zhiwei didn't say anything this time, if Gu Chen can really win the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, it will be a tiger for Tang Dynasty Film Company, as a shareholder of Tang Dynasty Film Company, he has no reason to refuse at all, although he is not optimistic about Gu Chen's hope of success......

"Ahem...... Cough...... cough ......" Shao Yifu covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed hard, Fang Yihua, who was making tea next to him, hurriedly put down what he was doing, walked over and patted his back gently, and said with a little complaint: "Let you rest at home for a few more days, you don't want to, drink saliva quickly." ”

After taking a sip of warm water, Shao Yifu let out a sigh and sighed: "Alas, it's really old, it's just a little cold that hasn't been good for so many days, it's still good to be young." ”

Fang Yihua followed Shao Yifu's gaze, it was a newspaper on Shao Yifu's lap, and almost half of the page on the spread page was full of reports about Gu Chen, all of which were reports about Gu Chen's secret trip to Taiwan alone and the new album: "This Gu Chen is indeed quite talented, but he is a little unprofessional, I heard that the first movie he invested in has started shooting." ”

Shao Yifu put away the handkerchief, put the newspaper on the sofa again, and said with a smile: "Hehehe, I don't know if it's not doing business, no one can say success or failure after reaching the end." However, I really appreciate his daring personality. By the way, how is the matter of the theater chain being discussed? ”

Fang Yihua put the brewed tea on the coffee table in front of Shao Yifu, and said: "I haven't talked about it yet, Pan Disheng has been biting 160 million yuan, and I plan to delay it again." Judging from the fact that he just bought Sammo Hung's Debao and wanted to buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas non-stop, his ambitions in movies are not small, and it will be more beneficial to us if it is delayed. My reserve price of 180 million should not be a big problem. ”

Shao Yifu patted the back of Fang Yihua's hand and said with a smile: "I don't have to worry about you doing things." Then he sighed a little lonely and said: "Since its establishment in 1958, Shaw Brothers Films has created many glories in the past 30 years, but I didn't expect it to be the last...... Creation makes people. ”

Fang Yihua has always believed that it is the most correct choice to stop production of Shaw Brothers Film Company, and then concentrate all resources on TVB, and strive to become bigger and stronger TVB, she also persuaded Shao Yifu before, and finally Shao Yifu made a decision, and the negotiation of the sale of the theater chain has also reached the most advanced stage, she naturally does not want to cause more trouble, and is about to change the topic, when the knock on the door of the office sounds:

"Come in."

Her secretary walked in and said, "Miss Fang, Mr. Gu Chen Gu called to ask Uncle Six to meet, but I don't know how to reply to him?" ”

"Gu Chen? Which Gu Chen? Fang Yihua had a strong doubt on her face, she probably guessed who Gu Chen was in the secretary's mouth, but she was a little inexplicable, you must know that Gu Chen had only debuted for a few months, although she had a relationship with She Chaoqiong's charity gala, but she had no intersection with her and wireless, and now she suddenly wanted to see Shao Yifu, how could she not feel strange. So much so that she thought it was another person with the same name and surname.

The secretary shook his head and said, "It's that singer Gu Chen." ”

Fang Yihua, who had been confirmed, looked at Shao Yifu and said, "What is he looking for you for?" Could it be that it is for the release of the movie, but now that the movie has not been made, is it too early to talk about this. Besides, you don't have to come to you even if it's for a movie. ”

Gu Chen is now just an idol pop singer, at most with the title of 'the owner of a small film company'. Compared with Shao Yifu, an entertainment tycoon who stomped his feet in the Hong Kong film and television industry, he is obviously not at the same level in terms of status, influence, or wealth. Therefore, if he wants to see Shao Yifu, he must not be able to see him. To put it bluntly, it depends on Shao Yifu's mood.

Shao Yifu groaned and said to the secretary, "You tell him that I have time in the afternoon." ”
