In the first issue of "Daily Daily" after the suspension of publication, Zheng Shi'an published the article "Sir Shao Talks in Detail from the Beginning" in all pages.

The vivid description of Sir Shaw Yifu in the text is stingy and lonely, which makes people laugh.

For example, Sir Shaw Yifu has a BMW in Happy Valley, and Sir Shao only pays 10 yuan to bet on the horse during the horse season. One day, I saw a person who made a bold 500 yuan bet on horses, but when I looked at it, it was the company's drama business. After returning home, Sir Shao immediately began to put the company's finances in order.

There was also a time when director Yue Feng was filming, and screenwriter Xu Guo was hired as a temporary director. After filming, Zou Wenhuai, director of the production department, paid Xu Guo a 1,000 yuan director's fee as remuneration according to the rules.

When Boss Shao found out, he instructed the accounting department to negotiate with Xu Guo and let him "discount" himself to only charge 800 yuan. Xu Guo felt that his personality was humiliated, so he simply tore up the check for 800 yuan and shredded it, "Boss Shao won't be rich if he has 200 yuan, and I, Xu Guo, will not be poor if I lack 200 yuan." ”

There was also a time when a martial arts film was filmed on location, and many dragon and tiger martial artists were hired. Sir Shao was afraid that the people below would report the accounts, so he specially sent a female staff member to carry a large bag of steel hammers. Each martial artist had to sign a pledge to receive the money, and the martial artist thought it was detrimental to his personality and announced a boycott.

……

These deeds were collected by Cheng Sai On from the defected employees of the Shaw Brothers studio, and after he and the newspaper editor polished them, they were printed in the "Daily Daily" in a grand manner.

These anecdotes are naturally not new in the "independent kingdom" of the Shaw Brothers studio, but the general public outside the set rarely hears such anecdotes.

Especially since the death of Denmao's Lu Yuntao plane, Sir Shaw Yifu has almost become the king of the Hong Kong film industry. Even if Jiahe came out later and repeatedly attacked the Shaw Brothers, the Shaw Brothers' position remained unmoved. It also made Sir Shaw's reputation and status stand firm.

After the outbreak of this poaching war, the Shaw Brothers were able to gain the support of so many celebrities, and Sir Shaw's status can be seen.

But it is precisely because of this that the general public is very interested in celebrities like Sir Shao, especially the short and interesting gossip jokes of these parents.

After the publication of the article "Sir Shao's Detailed Explanation from the Beginning", it immediately attracted the attention of the public.

The delivery volume of 200,000 copies is enough for Tian Tian Daily to appear in every corner of Hong Kong.

There are people talking about teahouses, restaurants, streets and alleys, which are used as jokes after tea and dinner.

Sir Shaw's lonely name instantly spread throughout Hong Kong, becoming the object of ridicule in people's mouths, and also made Sir Shaw's glorious image collapse overnight.

In particular, "Tiantian Daily" also listed the Shaw Brothers' labor salary table in recent years, among which the great director Zhang Che Although each play has a box office income of hundreds of thousands or more than one million, the director's fee is only 100,000 Hong Kong dollars; popular stars Di Long and Jiang Dawei are blockbusters in every play, but the salary is only 20,000 Hong Kong dollars; As for the supporting roles, it is even more miserable, the salary is only a few hundred yuan a month, which is no different from the factory workers.

In the 70s, Di Long and Jiang Dawei were highly praised by the great director Zhang Che, starring in many blockbuster martial arts movies, much more popular than Cheng Long, and were heroes in the hearts of countless young girls.

When the general public saw their beloved stars, glamorous and high-spirited on the screen, but so poor in private, they couldn't help but cry tears of sympathy for them, and scolded Shaw Brothers for abusing their stars in unison.

This has created a public opinion atmosphere favorable to Xu Guanwu, and if he goes to the law in the future, it will also affect the attitude of the jurors towards him.

……

Sir Shao naturally refused to give up after being exposed by the "Daily Daily" in this way, and he immediately sent someone to refute it in the newspaper, and at the same time sued the "Daily Daily" to the court in the name of suspected defamation.

Zheng Shi'an is not afraid of being sued by Shaw Brothers, because the few interesting anecdotes he excerpted have been 100% confirmed, and he dares to publish them only if they are true. There was no deliberate fabrication of facts to slander Sir Shao's reputation.

In order to deal with Sir Shao's two lawsuits, Xu Guanwu also hired ten of the best lawyers in Hong Kong with a lot of money, and fought with Shaw Brothers in France.

……

In the process of the court hearing these two lawsuits, the public opinion war is still going on, which has aroused the attention of the general public.

Among them, Shaw Brothers' main positions are "Oriental Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily", as well as its two magazines, "Southland Film" and "Hong Kong Film and Painting".

The main position of the Hsu Brothers Company is the free distribution of the "Daily Daily".

After several days of free distribution, with the help of the blockbuster news of the confrontation between Shaw Brothers and Xu's Brothers, the circulation of "Tian Tian Daily" has continued to rise, and has reached the mark of more than 300,000 copies per day.

However, because "Tiantian Daily" is distributed for free, the advertising revenue cannot be on par with the cost at present, which means that Xu Guanwu will continue to invest money in it.

Seeing the increasing sales of "Tian Tian Daily", several major newspapers in Hong Kong could not help but feel a little moved, and they also wanted to publish their own free newspapers.

But after cost accounting, it was found that although the "Daily Daily" is currently on fire, it is burning its own money.

Every time a newspaper was delivered, Xu Guanwu had to take a dime and a half out of his pocket.

The delivery of 300,000 newspapers means a loss of 45,000 yuan.

45,000 yuan a day, which is more than 1.3 million yuan a month.

No newspaper can afford such a huge loss.

"This guy is simply burning money, he's just a madman." All knowledgeable media in Hong Kong have an account in their hearts, and they have calculated the losses clearly for Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu had to inject millions of dollars into the newspaper every month to maintain the operation of the "Daily Daily".

At that time, the market value of "Ming Pao" was only one or two million.

It is equivalent to saying that if Xu Guanwu loses money like this, it is equivalent to destroying a "Ming Pao" in a year.

Jiashi, who took money like this, suddenly shocked a group of people.

The newspaper reports about Xu Guanwu also increased suddenly, and everyone was speculating about how much money this young talent who was only 30 years old had to squander.

For a time, Xu Guanwu became a star with a high exposure rate.

Xu Guanwu didn't expect that fighting a public opinion war with Shao Yifu would have such a magical effect.

But he thinks it's a good feeling to be famous.

……

Just when Xu Guanwu looked at the balance of public opinion, from a serious bias to the Shaw Brothers, and gradually tilted towards his own side and was happy, Zheng Shi'an, the editor-in-chief of "Tiantian Daily", found him worriedly.

"Boss, this was discovered this morning by the newspaper cleaners." Zheng Shi'an took out a paper bag wrapped in newspaper from his handbag and said.

"What's inside?" Xu Guanwu saw Zheng Shi'an's nervous expression, with a hint of fear in his eyes, and couldn't help but ask coldly.

"Yes...... It's a bomb! Zheng Shi'an swallowed his saliva and said in a hoarse voice.
