Chapter 54 Visiting Mr. Run Run Shaw
Zhao Hong's novel Shaw is also reading. He has just started reading it for two days, mainly because he wanted to understand Zhao Hong. He read "Farewell My Concubine". He feels very much about this book, which has a strong flavor of the Republic of China.
It made him intoxicated. It was hard for him to imagine that a person who had not experienced that period of history could actually write it so perfectly that he, a person who had personally experienced it, could not find any flaws.
It wasn't until the two of them finished eating that Zhao Hong said, "Uncle Liu, I invited you here mainly because I have something to discuss with you. You may not know that I have a girlfriend. We have been together for more than seven years. I want to
She was placed next to me because I was afraid that Uncle Six would not agree!" Zhao Hong knew it was time to talk about business.
"Hong Zai, you are a romantic talent! That's because you are still young, right?" Run Run Shaw said jokingly.
"There's no way! Love comes, and nothing can stop it. It doesn't matter at any time. You should know my first novel! The main content is written by me and her together. The content of the book is about me and her being together.
Part of his experience." Zhao Hong said seriously. Seeing that Run Run Shao didn't believe it, he spoke with facts.
"Oh! It's not just that beautiful lady who has won the favor of this talented man like you. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse." After Shao Yifu finished speaking, he regretted a little. Zhao Hong asked him just for this matter.
? If he can’t do it himself, why is he looking for him? Hey!
"Uncle Liu, this is what you said! This makes me feel relieved." Zhao Hong said happily.
"Can I still lie to you? Who is it? You tell me!" Run Run Shaw pretended to be magnanimous and said, there is no other way! If you speak out, you will be thrown out. Even if you kneel down, you must persist to the end.
"Okay! I said, that person is Zhao Yazhi, how about it! Don't be embarrassed! Uncle Liu." Zhao Hong finally said the person.
Although Run Run Shaw had been mentally prepared, when Zhao Hong said Zhao Yazhi's name, his heart twitched. Now Zhao Yazhi is the head star of TVB and the mainstay.
What a big loss it would be if he went to Zhuque TV Station! "Hong Zai, you are posing a problem for me! Azhi is the pillar of our TVB and the treasure of TVB. What a loss it will be if he runs away.
Ah!" Run Run Shaw said pretending to be embarrassed.
"Uncle Liu, you can make any demands you have. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to make up for your losses." Zhao Hong said, he was ready to be slaughtered. As for what Run Run Shao promised just now,
Only children would believe that adults would only exchange interests with each other. Zhao Hong never thought that this could be done with empty words and white teeth.
"I heard that your company is planning to make a movie. How about leaving the overseas distribution to us, Shaw Brothers? I will definitely give you the best deal." Run Run Shaw thought for a long time and said. He knew the ambition of DreamWorks and it was only a matter of time before he made a movie.
Regarding the matter, DreamWorks Cinemas now has a large scale. After the separation of Shaw Brothers, the four cinemas owned by my old friend Qiu Degen were sold to DreamWorks. In this way, DreamWorks Cinemas has 4 cinemas in Hong Kong.
There are ten cinemas, which is quite a chain, and there are two leading cinemas, so he didn't mention the local distribution in Xiangjiang. Now that his Shaw Brothers movies are not very popular in Nanyang, he is going to look for new ones.
source.
"Uncle Six, this is impossible. I plan to build my own theater chain in Nanyang! Also, I don't plan to grow the film company all at once. I plan to develop it slowly. As for the external market, it will develop slowly. When I started
I won’t take it too seriously.” Zhao Hong replied that he didn’t want to do anything like this. This approach was not advisable and could easily lead to someone choking him. Zhao Hong liked the path of theaters taking the lead. Anyway, if you have money and humanity, you also need to have
Of course, he is not at ease with Shaw Brothers about his own distribution company. Does he know how screwed up the companies in Xiangjiang that control overseas distribution rights are? In his last life, he saw a message on Baidu saying that Sammo Hung asked Golden Harvest Company for overseas distribution.
When it comes to income, it turns out that after checking the accounts, he still owes Golden Harvest a large amount of money, so Zhao Hong will definitely not hand over the movies he made to them for distribution, even if the external buyout is not so strong.
Run Run Shaw was a little disappointed, but he didn't care too much. After all, he didn't know what movies Zhao Hong would make in the future. "Why don't you buy a stake in Shaw Brothers Cinemas? In that case, you can make movies with confidence and boldness."
, he still said without giving up, obviously he was very aware of the fact that Shaw Brothers movies were showing signs of weakness. Although they were still making money, profits were declining year by year, and there was an urgent need for new forces to inject new vitality, and Zhao Hong was very optimistic about it.
, he believes that Zhao Hong can also have a career in the film industry.
"Uncle Six, I won't talk about the movie. I have a suggestion. What do you think?" Zhao Hong said.
"Say, Hongzai!" He was a little unhappy that Zhao Hong did not accept his proposal, so his voice was a little annoyed.
"Uncle Liu, Yazhi can't film many dramas a year in your TVB. What's more, she signed a first-year contract, which gives her a lot of freedom. In addition to taking on two TVB dramas every year,
She can take on any movie she wants outside, and now she won't be short of money. It's not certain whether she will film in the future! And then there is the fact that she only has a one-year contract with TVB, and it will only be two movies at most.
How much more money can she make for Wireless? The reason why I'm interviewing you is to have a friendly exchange between the two companies. Otherwise, we won't be able to pay liquidated damages of only two million Hong Kong dollars. I believe I can still get this amount of money. Look at me now
There is a villa in Taipingshan, the market price is about 10 million Hong Kong dollars, how about exchanging it?" Zhao Hong said, he has no worries about trading the house. In a few months, the price will increase.
Just like the cabbage price, you can get whatever you want. This house is worth 10 million now, but it will be worth 1 or 2 million Hong Kong dollars by then. After all, the higher-end houses at that time will have more severe price cuts.
Run Run Shaw thought for a while and agreed. After all, it was impossible for Zhao Yazhi to generate 10 million Hong Kong dollars for Wireless in one year. It was just a pity that Zhao Hong did not agree to his conditions.
Zhao Hong will not agree to buy shares. He has his own plan for the theater chain. He plans to get it right in one step. All theaters will use small screening halls so that one theater can show multiple movies at the same time. The theater must have its own place to buy peripherals.
, you can buy DreamWorks toys yourself, and the peripheral benefits are the big one. Since the opening of the DreamWorks theater chain, the movie box office can only keep the theater chain from losing money, that is, break even, but the net profit earned by the six theaters is
More than 20 million Hong Kong dollars is much easier than making money from box office. There is also hardware upgrade, which all costs money. If Zhao Hong buys a stake in Shaw Brothers Cinemas, he will not be able to take the majority. The constraints will be too severe.
He couldn't plan the layout as he pleased. He thought about it and realized that doing so would be more detrimental than gain.
In the end, Zhao Hong and Run Run Shaw reached a lot of consensus on TV station competition. Among them, they should not poach each other. Of course, the two TV stations can also borrow people to film TV series, but they can only borrow people after they have signed by the management of both parties. This compares to Zhao Hong.
The main advantage is that TVB has too many good actors.
