As the former overlord of the Hong Kong film industry, Sir Shaw certainly did not want to end Shaw Brothers Pictures, but now the situation is stronger than others, and he has no choice, so in the end Sir Shaw decided to avoid the spotlight and chose to stop temporarily.
The business of Shaw Brothers Pictures rents out 16 theaters owned by Shaw Brothers.
Nowadays, many people in Hong Kong are interested in Shaw Brothers Cinemas, and the most promising one is Debao Film Company. Debao Film Company was established in 2019 by Kam-po Hung and Curly Mao.
But at that time, neither of them paid much attention to the film company.
With Wu Jianye's intrusion, Hong Jinbao had already put all his thoughts on Baohe Films. As the development of Xiangjiang Pictures got better and better, it attracted more and more wealthy people who were ready to enter.
This is an industry that the second son of the Pan family, a well-established wealthy family in Hong Kong, has targeted. So at the beginning of this year, he bought Debao's shares from Hong Jinbao and officially became the big boss of Debao Films.
Now Debao Films is also interested in buying 16 theaters owned by Shaw Brothers.
Yes, at this time, Mr. Pan wanted to buy Shaw Brothers Cinemas.
It's a pity that everyone misjudged Sir Shaw's thoughts. Sir Shaw only suspended the development of Shaw Brothers Pictures instead of closing Shaw Brothers Pictures. In other words, Sir Shaw's heart for movies has not been completely extinguished.
In fact, subsequent developments also proved Sir Shao's ability.
With the decline of Hong Kong movies in the late 1990s, until the era of Wu Jianye's rebirth, Hong Kong's film industry had long become a thing of the past. At that time, there were only a few Hong Kong film companies that were capable of producing movies.
There are so many companies, but Shaw Brothers has returned to the world with its wireless resources!
Unfortunately, Sir Shao had passed away at that time. He thought of the possibilities in the future, but he miscalculated the time...
So now that Wu Jianye has proposed leasing Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Sir Shao's first impression of Wu Jianye is very good. At least this young boy knows how to advance and retreat...
Of course, it is definitely not because Sir Shao appreciates it, so the negotiation goes smoothly. Imagine how a big boss with a net worth of several billions can negotiate smoothly with him when the crew has to ask questions after eating several steamed buns.
Wu Jianye was also aware of these situations, so after establishing a preliminary intention to cooperate with Sir Shao, Wu Jianye returned to Fengge Entertainment and ordered Liu Feng to immediately organize a professional negotiation team to negotiate with Shaw!
When negotiating the lease of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, the term should be at least five years, and at the same time, the film contracts of all the stars of Shaw Brothers should be obtained. Wu Jianye ordered.
Although Shaw Brothers Pictures has declined, relying on the TVB platform, Shaw Brothers Pictures still has many star film appointments. Among them, the most famous one in later generations is naturally Zhong Chuhong, who has thousands of charms. If it weren't for Wu Jianye
If it happens, Shaw Brothers will blow up the last residual value of these stars, and Zhong Chuhong will be forced to film the only salty and wet film in his life due to the restrictions of the film contract.
Liu Feng had long been accustomed to Wu Jianye's orders, so after Wu Jianye's instructions, he immediately began to organize a professional negotiation team to start negotiations with Shaw.
This was a protracted negotiation that ended only after Wu Jianye left Xiangjiang. At that time, Fengge Entertainment and Shaw Brothers jointly held a press conference, which immediately shocked the entire entertainment industry in Xiangjiang. Although Fengge Entertainment has been in Xiangjiang in the past two years,
The entertainment industry has developed smoothly and has become the largest independent production company in Hong Kong. However, when they rented the Shaw Brothers Cinemas, they immediately became a film company on the same level as New Art City.
It is even more powerful than Xinyi City, and its status in Xiangjiang is second only to Jiahe.
Jiahe also felt the threat of Fengge Entertainment. From the honeymoon period at the beginning, the two parties directly entered the Cold War period. Later, Jiahe Cinema Line completely stopped showing Fengge Entertainment's movies, and the two giants were sandwiched between the two giants.
Baohe Films was caught in a dilemma.
Whether to follow Fengge Entertainment and completely break with Jiahe, or to return to the embrace of Jiahe, Hong Jinbao couldn't decide for a while.
However, when he saw the conditions offered by Fengge Entertainment, Hong Jinbao's Baohe Films completely abandoned Jiahe and switched to Fengge Entertainment. Fengge Entertainment spent a lot of money to transfer Jiahe to
I bought the shares I owned in Baohe Film.
As for Jiahe, they actually have very little control over Baohe Films. The employees there are almost all direct descendants of Hong Jinbao. If they don't buy it, Hong Jinbao can completely open a new film company with Fengge Entertainment. They will
Sometimes I can only look at the river and sigh, it is better to sell it to Fengge Entertainment and still make a fortune.
Of course, these are all things for later. Now Fengge Entertainment is still focusing on the issue of leasing Shaw Brothers Cinemas.
.......
Wu Jianye was exposed, and soon Gong Yin was also exposed.
Everyone knows that there is a female star from the Mainland in Fengge Entertainment. In fact, she is the girlfriend Shi Kun calls her. Gong Ying, who has not had any works in Hong Kong for a while, has also gained her own popularity in Hong Kong.
Gong Ying feels pain and happiness...
It hurts because a lot of kun fans have already sent letters to Gong Yin. The vicious content in the letters is so vicious that people can't look straight at it. It's like they were robbed of their husbands and all the vicious words of their original mistress.
Don't worry about these things, their words will not make you lose two ounces of meat. Xiangjiang is such an environment. In the future, if you develop in Xiangjiang, you will know that this kind of thing is commonplace.
Wu Jianye comforted him.
Gong Yin nodded. Now her heart was extremely strong, but she was not used to the environment in Xiangjiang for a while. Later, with Wu Jianye's comfort, she simply ignored these letters.
As for happiness, it was because in Xiangjiang, she could admit her love affair with Wu Jianye unscrupulously, and here, Wu Jianye belonged completely to her alone.
At the same time, there is another advantage, that is, Gong Yin suddenly received a lot of movie invitations. As the relationship between the two became public in Hong Kong, the Xiangjiang Film Company also knew that Gong Ying was a movie actor when he was in China, so there were many
The company became interested in Gong Ying.
However, these companies are all small companies, and there are no big companies. It is still because of Wanwan. Gong Yin's identity is a small and medium-sized hidden danger to the Xiangjiang entertainment circle and Wanwan's film industry.
However, this hidden danger will soon end as Wanwan liberalizes the film market.
Don't worry about these movie invitations. When "A Better Tomorrow" is finished filming next year, I will write a script specifically for you! Wu Jianye said.
Gong Yin nodded. To be honest, she was not interested in those movies either. Every heroine was written as a coquettish character or a female vase. This made Gong Yin dislike such movies very much.
However, there is a saying that the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
Soon Fengge Entertainment received an invitation about Gong Yin. Not only Gong Yin, but also Wu Jianye was also included in the invitation.
The film company that extended the invitation to the two was Yingzhijie, and the boss was Deng Guangyi, who had great influence in both Hong Kong and Bay Area.
Deng Guangyi sat across from Wu Jianye and Gong Yin with a stern look, holding a cigar in his mouth, showing his domineering side...
Wu Sheng, since you want to come to Hong Kong for development, you should understand the rules of Hong Kong. As long as Wu Sheng and Miss Gong agree to participate in this movie, I guarantee that Wu Sheng and Miss Gong will never run into any trouble in Hong Kong in the future!
How did Deng Sheng know that my girlfriend and I were having afternoon tea at the Peninsula?
Wu Jianye asked curiously. Today, he accompanied Gong Ying while shopping in Causeway Bay. In the afternoon, he came to the peninsula for afternoon tea. Unexpectedly, as soon as the two sat down, Deng Guangyi came over, and directly asked Wu Jianye and Gong
A new film signed by Yizhijie Films.
In Xiangjiang, as long as I want to know, nothing can be hidden from me! Deng Guangyi said domineeringly.
Young friends may not know Deng Guangyi's status in Hong Kong, but at this time, Deng Guangyi really does have a high status in the Hong Kong film industry as he said.
In the early Hong Kong entertainment circle, there was a very famous small group called the Silver Rats. The members of this small group were the eldest brother Zhang Yan. In the 1970s, he and his eldest brother formed a film company. Cheng Long's
In "Food Truck", he plays Yuan Biao's mentally ill father.
The second brother, Xie Ran, everyone knows that Nicholas Tse's father was one of the most popular film and television stars in Hong Kong in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The third brother, Chen Ziqiang, Cheng Long, Zhang Xueyou, Zhang Manyu, Zhong Chuhong and other well-known celebrities are the managers.
There is not much information about the fourth brother Chen Hao in later generations, but Wu Jianye knows that this man is a powerful man behind the scenes in the entertainment industry, and many celebrities have received his favor...
..
The fifth brother, Qin Xianglin, was one of the male protagonists in Lin Qingxia's Shuangqinyilin, which shocked Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The sixth child is Deng Guangyi who is now opposite Wu Jianye.
Seventh sister Shen Dianxia needs no introduction.
As for the reason why Deng Guangyi has such a high status in the Hong Kong film industry, the main reason is because of his status as the eldest brother of the society.
Wu Jianye also knew the hero of the shadow very well. Later, when Wang Sunjing first entered the world and became famous, he got the help of the hero of the shadow Deng Guangyi. Unfortunately, after Wang Sunjing released himself, Deng Guangyi's hero of the shadow was destroyed.
The pit is so ecstatic.
A typical example of someone who succeeds himself and deceives his friends.
Wu Jianye curled his lips. He admitted that Deng Guangyi had some status in the Hong Kong film industry, but that also depends on who he is dealing with.
Deng Sheng, I’m afraid you’re not as awesome as you say. You don’t necessarily know everything about the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang!
If Wu Jianye is really just an ordinary mainland singer who wants to come to Hong Kong to develop, I'm afraid he really has to give Deng Guangyi some face. But firstly, he has no idea of preparing to come to Hong Kong to develop, and secondly, he is purely competing for hard power. His current status in Hong Kong
I can also get rid of Deng Guangyi several blocks away...
Deng Guangyi's face darkened, Wu Sheng was not giving me Deng's face!
Face is earned by oneself, not given out for others to trample on!
Wu Jianye did not give Deng Guangyi any face, stirred the coffee in front of him, and continued: I really can't get used to drinking this coffee. After saying that, he waved to the Peninsula waiter, please help me change it to a cup of green tea.
OK, sir!
I'm afraid Wu Sheng still doesn't know the status of me, Deng, in Xiangjiang. Don't think that you are from Fengge Entertainment. I won't dare to touch you. As long as I say a word, Fengge Entertainment will give up the relationship between Wu Sheng and Miss Gong.
!
At this time, several people walked in from the door of Peninsula. They were Hong Jinbao, Qin Xianglin, and Cheng Long.
In fact, according to Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long's temperament, they would definitely not come to the peninsula for tea, but they couldn't resist Qin Xianglin's coming.
I forgot to mention, Qin Xianglin is also Cheng Long’s sworn brother...
The decline of Wanwan Film made Qin Xianglin come to Hong Kong early to develop his career. It is precisely because of his connections in Hong Kong that he is now doing well in the Hong Kong film industry.
However, she was not very happy in love. Lin Qingxia, who had been engaged to her for four years, broke off her engagement with him this year and returned to Qin Han.
As soon as the three of them entered the peninsula, they saw Wu Jianye and others.
Wu Sheng, what a coincidence! Hong Jinbao and three others came over.
Guangyi, you are here too! Qin Xianglin also saw Deng Guangyi.
Soon the three of them realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene. Cheng Long asked in a low voice: Wu Sheng, is there some misunderstanding between you and Brother Deng?
Before Wu Jianye could speak, Deng Guangyi spoke first.
Sanmao, Wu Sheng is your friend.
Although Deng Guangyi's status in the Hong Kong film industry is very high, Hung Kam-bao is not afraid of him. In addition, the development of Baohe movies is getting smoother and smoother. In terms of pure status in the Hong Kong film industry, Hung Kam-bao is even higher than Deng Guangyi.
However, Deng Guangyi is also used to being the eldest brother, and he is still full of eldest brother energy in front of Hong Jinbao.
Hong Jinbao smiled and said: Of course, Wu Sheng is an old friend of our Baohe Films!
Huh, I said Wu Sheng is so confident that he dares to refuse my invitation. It turns out he is your friend Sanmao!
At this time, everyone had guessed that Deng Guangyi wanted to take advantage of Wu Jianye's current popularity in Hong Kong to make a movie, but it seemed that he refused.
Others don't know the details of Wu Jianye, but Hong Jinbao knows a little. At this time, he is really disappointed with Deng Guangyi. He has been doing this for a long time, so he doesn't know how high the sky is. Can he offend Wu Jianye?
?
Wu Sheng and Guang Yi also don’t know much about Fengge Entertainment. You just want to consider this matter for my sake, Mr. Hong. Can you just let it go?
Although he couldn't stand Deng Guangyi acting like a big brother in front of him, the relationship between these people was complicated, and Hong Jinbao didn't want Wu Jianye and Deng Guangyi to fall out. After all, it was uncomfortable for them to be caught in the middle.
Wu Jianye glanced at Hong Jinbao indifferently, until Hong Jinbao became a little uneasy, then he suddenly smiled and said: Since Deng Sheng is your friend Sanmao, I will give you a face in this matter, but I hope this
Don't let this happen again!
Deng Guangyi was furious because Wu Jianye's attitude from the beginning to the end was to look down on him. How could Deng Guangyi accept this? He was about to start a fight.
But soon he felt that he was being held down by Qin Xianglin.
Although Qin Xianglin did not know the details of Wu Jianye, he knew Hong Jinbao. According to Hong Jinbao's current position in the Hong Kong film industry, he still respected Wu Jianye so much. He did not believe that Wu Jianye was just a simple mainland director.
Wu Jianye glanced at Deng Guangyi, and then said to Hong Jinbao: Brother Sanmao has time to drink tea, I'll leave first!
Hong Jinbao smiled and said: Okay, I will make an appointment with Wu Sheng in the next two days!
Watching Wu Jianye and Gong Ying leaving, Deng Guangyi said with a gloomy face: Sanmao, I need an explanation!
