"Brother Luo, don't do it. Once you shoot him, there's nothing we can do!"
"Yes, Brother Luo! There may be some misunderstanding!"
Chen Xijiu and Lard Boy were busy trying to persuade them.
"Being a brother? Then you ask him if he regards me as a good brother?" Lei Luo said angrily, "Are you talking about a misunderstanding? What's the misunderstanding! Don't think that I don't know. I have already received the news that he has been approved by the higher authorities to become a member of the parliament.
! Shi Zhijian, Councilor Shi! So majestic and awesome! What about me, what did I get? I was shot, shot in the arm and almost lost my life! It’s ridiculous that I have been helping people make wedding dresses! What is I, Lei Luo?
Come on? By the way, it’s the kind of ‘big evil pen’ you Shi Zhijian often talks about!”
Shi Zhijian smiled.
"You still dare to laugh? Are you forcing me to shoot?" Lei Luo pushed the gun forward!
Shi Zhijian said: "Brother Luo, how long have we known each other?"
"More than three years, what happened?"
"What am I like as a person?"
Lei Luo wanted to speak, but couldn't speak.
"You can't tell, because you know I'm not the kind of person you think!"
"What kind of person do I think of? Yes, I used to think that you, Shi Zhijian, were loyal, measured, and most importantly cruel-hearted! I thought that sooner or later you would surpass those tycoons in Hong Kong, stand out, and even be stronger than them! But!
Now----"
Lei Luo paused and looked at Shi Zhijian: "I didn't expect you to be more ruthless than I thought. Not only did you plot to help me gain power, but now you're here to act! I believe you are a ghost!"
Shi Zhijian smiled freely: "If you don't believe me, then shoot! Come on, I promise you!" Shi Zhijian puffed up his chest!
"You think I don't dare?"
"Bang!" Lei Luo suddenly fired a shot at Shi Zhijian. The bullet passed by Shi Zhijian. The huge recoil caused Lei Luo's whole arm to be lifted up by the shock. Look at the bullet hitting the wall behind Shi Zhijian.
A bullet hole was left in the wall.
The moment the gunshot fired!
"No!" Chen Xijiu and Lard Boy shouted together.
Shi Zhijian remained motionless.
When they saw that Shi Zhijian was okay and looked at the bullet hole, Chen Xijiu and Zhu Luzai breathed a sigh of relief, but their expressions were still full of tension and did not relax.
Lei Luo looked at Shi Zhijian, whose expression remained unchanged, and cursed: "Pu, your mother!" He threw the pistol to Chen Xijiu and cursed: "Put your gun away! Others are bad guys, so are you! You even robbed
You can’t even protect yourself, you’re eating shit?!”
"It's Brother Luo, I was wrong!" Chen Xijiu took the gun and lowered his head to admit his mistake.
No one knew that Shi Zhijian was fine on the surface, but in fact he was sweating profusely! Although he had been prepared in advance and secretly wore a bulletproof vest, Lei Luo had a perverse temper and could not decide where to hit him! Now that the bullet has landed, take care of it!
"Thank you Brother Luo for showing mercy!"
"You're welcome! You rewarded me with a bullet, and I'll reward you with one! You let someone shoot me in the arm, because I was unlucky! You dodged the shot, because my marksmanship is poor!"
Shi Zhijian smiled, stepped forward to pick up the bowl of cold soup, and said to Lei Luo: "Brother Luo is joking! Who knows, Brother Luo, your marksmanship is amazing? Back then, you killed the ruthless Rattlesnake with one shot from fifty steps away!"
"
"That was before! I'm old now, otherwise I wouldn't be fooled by you!" Lei Luo turned his head and said angrily.
"Brother Luo, how can you grow old when you are still in your prime?"
"Pu, your mother, are you fooling me again?!"
"Brother Luo, drink the soup!"
Lei Luo glared at Shi Zhijian fiercely and reached out to take the soup: "Now, I drink it not because I forgive you! It's because my life is precious and I don't want to die! Also, I want to hear an explanation from you!"
"If I tell you, I don't have to explain. What do you think?"
Lei Luo was stunned for a moment and then said angrily: "Xijiu, bring the gun!"
"No, Brother Luo! You just asked me to protect my gun! I have already fired one shot, and I have to write a report tomorrow!" Chen Xijiu hurriedly dodged.
"Pu, your mother!" Lei Luo yelled, "You are all going to betray me, right?"
"Brother Luo, if you believe me, I can assure you that although you cannot become a member of the parliament, you can truly dominate the Hong Kong police force! Even the Commissioner of Police has to look at your face!" Shi Zhijian said loudly,
What he said was even more shocking.
Chen Xijiu and Lard Boy were both stunned and looked at Shi Zhijian together.
Lei Luo's sharp-edged face twitched even more. Are you still bragging?
"Then I know what you're saying. How can I cover up the sky with one hand and make even the Commissioner of Police afraid of me?"
"You can't talk about this, it won't work if you talk about it!"
When Lei Luo heard Shi Zhijian's words, his face turned from livid to black, and his eyes wanted to spit out fire. He felt that Shi Zhijian was deceiving him again!
Chen Xijiu stood aside and said: "Brother Luo, A Jian has always done things like this! It's not like you don't know!"
"Yeah, he's so cunning! I said you could become Inspector General Hua, didn't you? And I said you could become Chief Inspector and Superintendent Hua. They all came true! He's so clever.
Yes!" Lardboy also said at the side.
Lei Luo's face was tangled for a while, and finally he breathed out slowly, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows with his hands: "Okay, I will believe you again!"
When Shi Zhijian saw Lei Luo say these words, he didn't say anything anymore, but turned around and walked out quietly!
Lei Luo opened his eyes and happened to see Shi Zhijian leaving, "What do you mean? Just leave like this? I haven't finished speaking yet! I'm still very emotional! I haven't said many words yet! Pu, your mother-in-law, a little bit of noodles
Even if you don't give it to me! What do you think of this place as your own home? You can come and leave whenever you want."
Lei Luo was cursing, but he heard his wife Bai Yuechang outside warmly greeting Shi Zhijian: "Ajian, let's go now! Don't you want to stay for dinner? You're welcome, from now on you will treat this place as your home and come and play often!"
"
Chen Xijiu and Lard Zai looked at each other, and then looked at Lei Luo together.
Lei Luo: "What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I will blow your heads off?!"
…
"Mr. Liu, please wait a moment. Uncle Liu is watching samples in the movie room!" The female secretary smiled and invited Liu Jianxiong to sit down on the sofa in the living room, and personally helped serve the coffee.
Liu Jianxiong nodded and looked around.
The furnishings of this living room are very simple, and the surrounding is full of literary and artistic atmosphere. Various classic movie posters of Shaw Brothers from the 1950s and 1960s are hung on the walls, including "Beautiful Country" and "Diao Chan" which won the Asian Film Gold Award in 1956.
, as well as "The One-Armed Sword", which had a box office of over one million for the first time three years ago, etc.
On the movie poster shelf, there are trophies from various periods, as well as photos of Shao Daheng and dignitaries from various countries.
Liu Jianxiong looked at the photo with some envy, thinking to himself that it would be great if he could be as majestic as Shao Daheng.
Gusha
Although he is now successful in stock trading and has a net worth of hundreds of millions, compared with these Hong Kong super tycoons, he is still as weak as a chicken.
Liu Jianxiong sighed with envy. He looked away from the photos and trophies and looked at the coffee table, which contained a cigar box made of cherry blossom wood, as well as cigar cutters and long matches.
Liu Jianxiong couldn't help but said: "A tycoon is a tycoon, he even uses such expensive cigars to entertain people!"
How did Liu Jianxiong know that Shaw Tycoon was actually very frugal in his work? According to the staff of Shaw Brothers, he was very "solitary". Even when filming was working overtime, the crew had to be prepared to buy steamed buns worth 100 yuan!
As for the expensive cigars on the coffee table, Shao Daheng specially entertained the Southeast Asian businessmen who came to Shaw's to buy samples! Those businessmen came to give money, so of course Shao Daheng treated them politely. As for Liu Jianxiong's level, they were not qualified to smoke them at all.
Such a good cigar.
Liu Jianxiong didn't know this either. Seeing that there was no one around, he took one leisurely, cut off the cap of the cigar with cigar scissors, then bit it on his mouth, burned it with a long match, and took a puff, puffing out smoke.
, at the same time, both feet are resting on the coffee table without restraint, with a comfortable posture!
…
At this time, inside the sample room.
Shao Daheng finally finished watching thirty films in one go, and the directors of those films took turns entering the sample room to receive Shao Daheng's "commentary."
For Shao Daheng, there are two types of movies, one is for business and makes money, and the other is for art and wins awards.
These two kinds of movies cannot be confused, but occasionally award-winning movies can be big hits at the box office. This kind of movie is the most valuable and is Shao Daheng's favorite.
But none of the thirty movies just now belong to this type.
According to the classification, Shao Daheng told the directors what they needed to revise. For example, "The Heroes" and "The Duel" are for martial arts fans. The fighting scenes should be more intense, and they should learn more from Chang Cheh and engage in some violent aesthetics.
What kind of madness makes you look passionate!
As for "Snake Killer", "Ghost Eunuch" is for those who like suspense and horror. They need to work more on horror. The soundtrack should be just right so that it can scare people!
Finally, Shao Daheng concluded to those directors: "Making movies is not that simple. You have to learn to please the audience! I have been making movies for more than 30 years and have only just started now. As for you, you have a long way to go!"
…
"Sorry, Mr. Liu, for keeping you waiting!" Shao Daheng walked into the office, picked up the wet towel on the washstand and wiped his hands, then turned around and sat on the boss's chair, smiling and saying to Liu Jianxiong.
Liu Jianxiong didn't expect Shao Daheng to come in suddenly. He was happily smoking a cigar with his legs on the coffee table. When he saw this, he hurriedly took his legs off the coffee table and took the cigar out of his mouth. Then he stood up and said to Shao Daheng:
"It doesn't matter, I just came here not long ago!"
Shao Daheng nodded, glanced at the cigar in Liu Jianxiong's hand, and said calmly: "This is Cuban product, don't waste it!"
"Uh, um..." Liu Jianxiong felt that it was not good to smoke in front of Shao Daheng, but Shao Daheng said this and he didn't know what to do.
Finally, he smiled, crushed the cigar gently and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shao, for your kindness! This cigar is indeed very good. I can't bear to eat it. I want to take it back and taste it slowly!"
Shao Daheng nodded secretly. No wonder he was able to defeat Shi Zhijian's army with such quick wit.
"Sit down, I invited you to come and I want to talk to you about something!"
Liu Jianxiong sat down again.
Shao Daheng got straight to the point: "I heard that you and Shi Zhijian grew up together?"
"It was before, but not now!"
"Okay, decisive enough! I appreciate you!"
"Then what do you think of the new Shaw Brothers drama?"
"Mr. Shao is referring to the drama "Love Saint"?" Liu Jianxiong considered his words, "In my opinion, this drama is just a gimmick to attract some box office, and will soon be forgotten!"
Shao Daheng nodded and did not deny it, "That's why I came to you this time!"
Liu Jianxiong smiled: "Mr. Shao, what do you want to explain?"
"I know that you have a good relationship with Zou Wenhuai, you have invested in Jiahe, and you are ready to kick Shi Zhijian out. I support you on this!"
"Thank you Mr. Shao for your support!"
"Don't thank me yet! I am a businessman and a movie maker. It can be said that we will become competitors in the future, but I am easy to get along with!" Shao Daheng took off his glasses and wiped them with a lens cloth, "
To be precise, in the future, you, Jiahe, and us, Shaw Brothers, will go against each other, but we will work together!"
Liu Jianxiong suppressed his inner joy, "But I don't know how to cooperate?"
"Now, our Shaw Brothers theater chain is huge, especially in Southeast Asia. If Golden Harvest can produce excellent works, I don't mind everyone making money together. Our theater chain will be released there. As for dividing the accounts, 28
, how? Of course, there are two of you and eight of us!”
Liu Jianxiong smiled, "Mr. Shao, we are very poor and cannot compare with you! If we split the account 28-20, we will lose a lot!"
Shao Daheng seemed to have guessed that Liu Jianxiong would say this, "Then it's 37! It can't change again!"
Shao Daheng's tone became decisive and allowed no refutation.
Liu Jianxiong's eyes flickered, and he retreated in order to advance: "Mr. Shao, this matter is so big that I can't make the decision alone. I need to go back to Jiahe to discuss it with Zou Wenhuai and the others."
"Of course! But the opportunity is in front of you, I hope you can seize it!"
Liu Jianxiong chatted with Shao Daheng for a few more words, stood up and was about to leave, when Shao Daheng suddenly stopped him: "By the way, I actually loved seeing Shi Zhijian leave Jiahe in disgrace!"
Liu Jianxiong picked up the unfinished big cigar and said to Shao Daheng with a smile: "Since Mr. Shao likes it, I will put on a good show for you! Let you see how Shi Zhijian was driven away by us.
Get out of Jiahe!"
"I'll be looking forward to it!" Shao Daheng stood up and personally escorted Liu Jianxiong out.
Liu Jianxiong couldn't help being flattered.
"Thank you Mr. Shao, no need to send it again!"
"I'm optimistic about you! Zhong You----" Shao Daheng reached out and patted Liu Jianxiong on the shoulder: "Don't call me Shao Sheng anymore, just call me Liu Shu!"
Liu Jianxiong was overjoyed, today's trip was really well worth it! Not only did he get to know the famous Hong Kong Film Emperor, but he was also about to form an alliance with Shaw Brothers!
As for that Shi Zhijian----
Who made him arrogant! When he originally invested in Jiahe, he signed an equity agreement with Zou Wenhuai and the others, and only invested and ignored management! And who made him want to kick Zou Wenhuai out last time, causing a confrontation between the two parties?!
Now that Liu Jianxiong has invested in Jiahe, Zou Wenhuai and others will no longer be attached to Shinhwa Group for financial reasons!
The situation is reversed!
It will be him who gets kicked out this time----
Shi Zhijian!
Thinking of this, Liu Jianxiong couldn't help laughing, biting his cigar and arrogantly saying: "This is the reincarnation of heaven!"
