Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 199 Run Run Shaw’s plan!

The day before the holiday was over, Su Cheng specially accompanied Wang Zuxian, who had returned from Bay Island, to the cinema again.

However, this time, I went to Shaw Brothers Cinema to watch the movie "Interstellar" which is said to have cost tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in investment.

This film is a rare and generous one for Shaw Brothers. I wanted to compare it with Tengyue. Unfortunately, the script and director they found were not good enough.

Zhang Guoming is quite good at making some literary films, and he is also good at comedies, but science fiction comedies, he is not that material.

What kind of thing are you acting?

Specious!

In less than ten minutes, a large number of people around me began to curse.

Shaking his head, Su Cheng couldn't help but left with Wang Zuxian after about half an hour.

Movies like this are such a waste of time!

"Ah Cheng, I didn't understand that movie."

Glancing at her, Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's amazing that you understand! I'm afraid the director who filmed this film couldn't explain clearly what he was filming."

"Ah? This..."

Patting Wang Zuxian on the shoulder, Su Cheng said: "It's just like the "I Love Tuberose" I told you about. It's simple and incomprehensible. It's just funny for the sake of being funny, without any core or story. Look.

You can’t even watch it, but you still want high box office? I don’t know if Run Run Shaw is really old and his eyesight is dim!”

After muttering, Su Cheng pulled Wang Zuxian away and said, "I finally got out to play, so I'll take you to the amusement park! Otherwise, once work starts, I won't be so free."

"Okay!" After hearing this, Wang Zuxian kissed Su Cheng, linked arms, and the two left fully armed.

…

Wireless, in Run Run Shaw's office.

Fang Yihua was much harsher on his employees than Su Cheng. After the third day of the Lunar New Year, he slowly returned to normal work.

Looking at the box office form that Shaw Brothers Cinema brought in his hand, he frowned and said, "Brother Six, our "Interstellar" is very unsatisfactory!"

"Yes! Although we have a box office of 4.83 million Hong Kong dollars now, the attendance rate is less than 20%. I am afraid that when the movie is finished, it will only have a box office of 7 million Hong Kong dollars! To recover the investment, we have to rely on distribution." Run Run Shaw lamented.

Hearing this, Fang Yihua was also very worried. If other low-cost movies had a box office of 6,070,000 Hong Kong dollars, they would not have to worry about distribution. But this one, "Interstellar Blunt", requires an investment of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. With this result? Who still wants it?

Want it? Even if a company wants it, it doesn’t have much money, and I’m afraid they will suffer a big loss again!

Seeing that Fang Yihua's face was a bit ugly, Run Run Shaw comforted him: "We are all used to big storms, so don't worry! The worst we can do is shut down Shaw Brothers and go all out to develop TVB."

"But the TV station..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Run Run Shaw and said, "I am already preparing funds. Soon, Wireless TV will be under our private ownership like Tengyue TV Station. At that time, you can do whatever you want."

Speaking of this, Run Run Shaw said with emotion: "As I get older, I still don't have the precise vision of that boy Su. It seems that in the future, the film market in Hong Kong will be dominated by Tengyue Entertainment!"

Why not talk about Tengyue TV? That’s because TVB and Tengyue have been in a 50-50 split in the past two years. Wireless is not helpless to fight back?

Especially the Hong Kong sister from TVB, she has been dominating the rankings for nearly more than a month!

Of course, Tengyue is not bad either. With "The Voice", his momentum is unparalleled!

In terms of TV series, each has its own merits!

After all, those with seniority can still compete well. Not to mention, there are only two TV stations in Hong Kong at present, so the competition is small. They can always survive.

Hearing this, Fang Yihua also sighed with emotion: "Yes! In just three years, Su Chengcheng has developed Tengyue Entertainment to this point. It is really amazing!"

Run Run Shaw said playfully: "However, I'm afraid that boy may suffer losses sometimes. If he comes to our place again, maybe we can make a profit."

"Brother Six, what do you mean?"

Run Run Shaw said with a smile: "Of course it's on the set. Zou Wenhuai's little tricks can hide it from Su Xiaozi. It's almost impossible to get past me. The two families are about to fall out. They are about to fall out."

After a pause, Run Run Shaw continued: "Once the results are obtained, do you think who else can help him?"

"Then can't we?" Fang Yihua's eyes lit up.

Waving his hand, Run Run Shaw said: "You also know that boy's temperament. This time, we will cooperate in a different way. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admire his script and vision. Instead of us wasting money in vain

, it’s better to just invest like Dingsheng. Let them worry about it. With that guy here, they will definitely not lose money. Of course, for every project, the script must be written by Su Cheng.”

"Then he will be willing?"

"Yes!" Run Run Shaw said calmly: "Unless he stops making Hong Kong films, or in other words, doesn't make so many Hong Kong films. Our Shaw Brothers studio is a good opportunity for him."

Hearing this, Fang Yihua nodded thoughtfully.

Just when she was about to say something, she heard Run Run Shaw continue: "And that boy Ah Xiang, after going to Tengyue, he seemed to be a completely different person. It wasn't enough to work in Xiangjiang, and he became an internationally renowned director.

All of a sudden, he is more famous than Tianlin. How awesome!"

"Who says it's not the case!" Fang Yihua said with emotion.

Run Run Shaw said bluntly: "Then when the time comes, let that kid go over and talk about our sincerity. If it doesn't work, we can just sell the Shaw Brothers theater chain to Tengyue. With this in mind, Su Xiaozi can't

I will refuse again."

"Brother Six, are you really willing to give up?"

"What does it matter whether you can give it up or not? Although Shaw Brothers and Shaw Brothers Theaters are family properties accumulated by our brothers for decades, in the final analysis, our Shaw family is still a business family. Now that we have wireless, we have to give up Shaw Brothers

There’s nothing wrong with that.”

"Besides, that Mr. Su also randomly poached people during the Hong Kong Miss Selection organized by our TVB. I didn't bother him. It's considered me generous. I came to ask him for cooperation. If not, do you really intend to let me stand in that group of people?

Behind his back, help them punish Teng Yue?"

"It's hard to find a junior who is pleasing to the eye, how can we let them be harmed?"

"Uh... Brother Six, didn't you dislike that kid before? He always cursed." Fang Yihua interjected.

"I did it for his own good! After all, he is so young!" As he spoke, Run Run Shaw became silent. After all, he was standing next to his wife who knew him very well, so he had to believe him when he lied?

Shaking his head, Run Run Shaw said: "I just don't want that guy Zou Wenhuai to succeed. I don't even bother to stab him in the back."

However, saying this to others would not be convincing. Furthermore, how did he treat Su Cheng back then? I still remember it vividly!

Everything is for profit! It doesn’t need to be said so nicely.
