Mr. Shaw has put a lot of effort into TVB, and even stopped most of the Shaw Brothers movies, and "Happy Tonight" is his favorite work. Now I suddenly heard the news that the ratings have been cut in half, and I can't bear it.
Living is like a burst of light.
Regardless of time, he directly called the person in charge of TVB over, and then cursed him head-on.
The poor person in charge was scolded so badly by Mr. Shao that he didn't dare to refute.
When Mr. Shao was tired of scolding, he said solemnly.
"Mr. Shao, we are actually not to blame for this. I heard that the boss of [Li's] has changed. With the support of the new boss, [Li's] has changed its style of play. We are forced to fight and have no time to prepare."
."
Mr. Shao frowned and asked.
"Has there been a change? Who is the current boss of [Li's]?"
During this time, Mr. Shao went to Taiwan to discuss cooperation with theaters there and planned to open up a new film market, so he really didn't pay much attention to the developments of this old rival [Li's].
What's more, in Mr. Shao's mind, [Li's] has long been disabled, so there is no need to pay special attention to it.
So when I heard that TVB was being pushed to the ground and rubbed by [Li’s], Mr. Shao couldn’t accept it at all.
The person in charge looked up at Mr. Shao and said hesitantly.
"[Li's] new boss is Cao Weidong."
Mr. Shao bang.
Just smash his favorite cup to pieces!
It’s Cao Weidong again!
Mr. Shao hated it so much that his teeth itched.
Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers are in a fierce battle. Both parties are chasing each other in the film market, and no one will give in to the other.
Unexpectedly, the other party reached out to the radio station again.
It seems that the other party is planning to fight against me to the end!
After thinking for a long time, Mr. Shao finally calmed down the anger in his heart and asked.
"In this case, what can you do?"
The person in charge thought for a while and said decisively.
"Mr. Shao, [Li's] can shoot long-form series to compete with our variety shows. We can also shoot new shows to compete with them. I think the current plan is to shoot a feature-length series as quickly as possible.
Only in this way can we regain the lost audience."
Mr. Shao felt that there was some truth in this statement, so he asked further.
"What kind of TV series do you want to make?"
The person in charge thought for a while, then suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart and said.
"The TV series Li's filming is about modern cities, so we will make a period martial arts drama."
"We have filmed Gu Long's novels over the years, why don't we try Jin Yong's works this time? You have a good relationship with Mr. Jin, can you tell him to bring a novel for us to film?"
It is almost universally known that Mr. Shao and Mr. Jin have a close relationship.
Mr. Jin called Mr. Shao "a dear old friend".
Mr. Shao also called Mr. Jin "my little friend Xiaocha".
The friendship between the two is a good thing in Hong Kong.
In fact, as early as the late 1940s, when Mr. Jin was still serving at "Ta Kung Pao", he had developed a friendship with Mr. Shao and wrote a "Biography of Filmmakers" for Mr. Shao.
After that, Mr. Shao and Mr. Jin also communicated frequently.
Over the years, Mr. Shao has adapted martial arts movies from Gu Long's novels, which have become very popular in Hong Kong.
Therefore, he also came up with the idea of adapting Mr. Jin’s martial arts novel.
If you think of it, do it.
Mr. Shao passed the message and invited Jin Yong to drink tea at the teahouse.
On the appointed day, Mr. Shao looked at Mr. Jin and sighed sincerely.
"Hey, Xiaocha, you are still living a comfortable life. You just write articles and commentaries every day. Unlike me, I have to take care of the entire company's affairs. I am so busy that I don't have any time for myself."<
/p>
Mr. Jin took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"Uncle Six, you're welcome. You have great ability, so you are destined to work hard. As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."
Mr. Shao smiled, changed the topic and said.
"Xiao Cha, I came here this time to ask for something."
"Martial arts novels are in full swing now. Uncle Six now wants to catch your last train. I wonder if there is still a chance?"
Mr. Jin has actually always had the idea of turning his works into films.
In the past, he relied on "Ming Pao" to launch martial arts novels and placed heavy bets on Macau and Taiwan, which indeed resulted in a lot of benefits.
But after all, the markets in the three places are smaller.
He wants to rely on TV movies to develop the big market in the mainland.
But at this time, Mr. Jin's expression seemed a little complicated.
"Which Uncle Six is referring to, the movie or the TV series?"
"Of course I want them all."
Mr. Shao muttered.
"You also know that I have wanted to film your martial arts story for a long time. The director and actors are ready."
Mr. Jin had a sad face.
"Mr. Shao, I wish you had come a few days earlier. Not long ago, I reached a cooperation with Jiahe and sold the film rights to them."
Mr. Shao was shocked and asked quickly.
"What about TV series?"
Mr. Jin smiled bitterly.
"Cao Weidong found me and took away the film and TV rights from me on behalf of [Jiahe] and [Li's] respectively."
"But you don't have to worry. I signed a three-year agreement with Cao Weidong. After three years, I will definitely give you the adaptation copyright."
Mr. Shao was stunned.
Three years?
Who knows what Shaw Brothers and TVB will look like in three years?
.......
Returning to TVB in confusion.
The person in charge came over and asked.
"Mr. Shao, have you obtained the adaptation rights? I'm ready here."
His behavior, commonly known as sending someone to death, is like hitting the muzzle of a gun directly.
Mr. Shao didn't get used to this guy. He just cursed and vented all his anger and grievances on this guy.
The person in charge was almost on the verge of tears.
I am really unlucky.
But what can I do?
I can only respond submissively.
But in the end, Mr. Shao said with cold words.
"You were fired, you got your salary, and you won't be here tomorrow."
The person in charge looked at Mr. Shao in disbelief.
"You want to fire me? I have been with you for more than ten years."
When Mr. Shao saw the person in charge now, he thought of the anger he had received from Cao Weidong, so he said without hesitation.
"That's right."
The person in charge simply took the risk and sneered.
"Shao Yifu, if you ask me, TVB will be over sooner or later."
Mr. Shao's face turned livid with anger.
"Get out of here! I'm telling you, as long as I'm still in Hong Kong City, you will never want to work in this industry."
Fu Erren snorted coldly and walked out without looking at Mr. Shao's livid face.
When he came outside the room, he was blown away by the cold wind, and the indignation in the person in charge dissipated a little.
If in the past, the entire Hong Kong City was Mr. Shao's dictum, and he said that you should be banned, you would have absolutely no scenes to film.
But it’s different now.
There is Jiahe in the film industry and Lili in the TV station industry. I can go anywhere.
The person in charge looked back, turned around and left without any attachment.
But in the room, Mr. Shao could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood!
