Chapter 56: Cinemas
Founded in 1958 in Heung Kong, with Uncle Liu as the president, Shaw's Film Company has produced more than 1,000 films.
"The Shaw Brothers" follows a more purely commercial production route.
In a set of distinctive business philosophy of Sixth Uncle, the theory of "audience first" is its central content.
Uncle Sixth understands the psychology of the general public audience, as well as the viewing habits and interests, he reviews the story script provided by the director, and chooses whether it has a box office, so the "Shao Brothers" are accurate in the selection of materials to the love and interest of the public audience, and choose themes with strong popularity and entertainment.
Whether the directors and stars of "Shao Brothers" are reused is also based on box office records.
In 1957, the mainland Huangmei opera film "Tianxian Pei" was released in Xiangjiang and caused a sensation, and the audience in Xiangjiang was fascinated by Huangmei tune music.
This phenomenon has attracted the attention of Xiangjiang filmmakers who are highly sensitive to the market, and the sixth uncle reused director Li Hanxiang to shoot a number of Huangmei movies with ancient costume themes, which was also brilliant.
In the 80s, the annual output of the company was between 20 and 30 units.
After that, the TV show became more and more exciting, stealing a large number of moviegoers.
The pace of life is getting more and more rushed, and people don't have the leisure and leisure to go to the cinema.
The previous directors of the Shaw family left the studio one by one, and then, the production was reduced, and even the production was stopped.
And the era of Shaw's large-scale filmmaking represents the beautiful memory of a film kingdom.
Chen Xiaofeng calculated the time, and the Shao family was almost at the end, and he didn't know if he would be able to win the shadow line by then.
But I still need to take precautions, and it is estimated that it will be a big expense at that time.
"Sixth uncle, let's talk about something directly! It's a bit tiring to guess like this! ”
The sixth uncle also smiled.
"Okay, then I'll say it directly, I don't know if you are interested in coming to Shao's development!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiaofeng was a little hard to believe his ears!
Don't you know what's going on there?
"I'm a businessman!"
Hearing this, the sixth uncle also understood, and didn't say anything more, he knew that he couldn't give Chen Xiaofeng the price he wanted.
Chen Xiaofeng also asked tentatively.
"I heard that Uncle Six doesn't manage the film company much now, I wonder if Uncle Six plans to sell the theater chain?"
When the sixth uncle heard Chen Xiaofeng's words, he was also a little surprised.
"Does Chen Sheng want to buy my theater?"
Chen Xiaofeng smiled.
"I'm making movies, and I definitely have a pursuit of theaters, what do you say?"
"It's a pity that you can't support your ambitions now, you don't have that capital."
Chen Xiaofeng waved his hand, it was undeniable, there was indeed no now.
"There are always some accidents in life, and they also need to be pursued."
The sixth uncle picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it down before saying, "People still need to be down-to-earth!" ”
Chen Xiaofeng looked at the sixth uncle firmly.
"I believe I can, my future is limitless!"
When the sixth uncle heard this, he also looked at Chen Xiaofeng quietly.
"Okay, in five years, if you can come up with 250 million, Shao's cinema in Xiangjiang will be yours."
Chen Xiaofeng also smiled when he heard this, just waiting for your words.
"It's a deal!"
Chen Xiaofeng picked up the teacup after speaking.
"I am very happy to see the famous Sixth Uncle today, I will toast you with tea instead of wine."
Chen Xiaofeng also drank the tea in one gulp after speaking.
The sixth uncle also picked up the teacup again and drank it in one gulp.
"I still have something to do in my company, so I'll leave first, and I look forward to meeting next time!"
After Chen Xiaofeng finished speaking, he got up and left the Peninsula Hotel after paying the bill.
The sixth uncle sat on the chair like this and quietly watched Chen Xiaofeng leave, and it could be seen from his eyes that he seemed to be thinking about something.
Back in the car, Chen Xiaofeng looked at the time, it was almost five o'clock, and the sky slowly began to darken.
So, I drove to Wang Jing's crew again, ready to pick up Guan Jiahui, and by the way, tell Honggu about the cover of the magazine.
When Chen Xiaofeng arrived there, the crew was still filming.
But Chen Xiaofeng estimates that it is almost over, because most of the scenes are now daytime, and there are no night scenes.
It's just that what he never expected was that he was pulled into a strong ding, and he made a cameo appearance as a little minion with only two lines.
"Chen Sheng, it's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, it doesn't take any effort to get it, you just need a handsome trick after all, you can play it."
Wang Jing, who was directing, said happily when he saw Chen Xiaofeng.
Chen Xiaofeng's face was stunned, and he came again.
Chen Xiaofeng suddenly felt that his career as an actor had been in the trough since the peak!
From the male lead of the first movie, to the later acts, they are all tricks.
But in the end, I had no choice but to change my clothes and prepare to start filming.
Chen Xiaofeng watched from the side after the performance, and a trick was relatively simple.
It didn't take long to stand there, and sure enough, as Chen Xiaofeng thought, he started to finish work at seven o'clock.
Because the work was closed early, many people went home with their lunch boxes.
Only some people who are still things will go to the next one after eating the boxed lunch.
Honggu was about to leave as soon as she said hello to everyone after changing her clothes.
Chen Xiaofeng hurriedly stopped her.
"Honggu, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Honggu also stopped when she heard this, and turned around.
"What's the matter, you can tell it!"
"My newspaper is going to publish a magazine, and I want you to go to the cover of the first issue."
Honggu thought for a moment and said.
"What kind of magazine is it?"
Chen Xiaofeng was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained.
"Don't worry, it's a serious magazine, it's not that kind!"
"That's no problem, it's just that why don't you find your little girlfriend, Jiahui should be prettier than me!"
Chen Xiaofeng was a little scared when a woman praised another woman for being more beautiful than her in front of a man, and touched his head and said.
"Of course, you are more beautiful, Jiahui, I plan to come to the next issue, the first issue, after all, the town's residence."
Honggu was very satisfied with this answer and nodded.
"Then I'll go first, you can just shoot and find me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Honggu left.
Guan Jiahui, who came out later, just heard Chen Xiaofeng say that Honggu was more beautiful, and she was also a little unhappy.
"Brother Feng, why am I not as beautiful as Sister Hong."
Chen Xiaofeng listened to it for a while.
"Is there one? Didn't I just say you're prettier? Am I wrong? ”
"I just heard it all."
"That's what I said wrong."
After Chen Xiaofeng finished speaking, he hurriedly changed the topic.
"Jiahui, since the clothes have been changed, let's go, let's go have dinner first, I'm a little hungry."
"I'm so hungry, what are we going to eat!"
Chen Xiaofeng thought about it.
"We haven't had a candlelit dinner yet, let's go romantic!"
Guan Jiahui clapped her hands happily, hugged Chen Xiaofeng's arm, and said happily.
"Good! All right! ”
Chen Xiaofeng smiled and drove her to eat.
