Another legendary figure in Hong Kong's early entertainment circle, his importance to Lai's TV was not inferior to that of Mak Toh Hung, and to a certain extent he even made more contributions than Mak Ton Hung.
More Xiangjiang artists are mostly actors and singers.
Even the top Hong Kong actors like Cheng Long have released their own albums, while artists like Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat, and Leung Jiahui are different in Hong Kong.
Let’s look at other artists. Andy Lau was one of the top five artists of TVB in his early days. Later he joined the ranks of singers and became one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong. The other three are also actor-level actors... Li Tianwang
Slightly worse.
Tony Leung Chiu-wai may be the most awarded actor in Hong Kong film history, but he has also released his own album, among which "A Little Love a Day" can occasionally be circulated among some nostalgic people born in the 1980s even in later generations.
Almost everyone else has had this experience.
And Xu Xiaoming is even more interesting. He entered the Hong Kong entertainment industry as a martial artist in the early days, and then became a martial arts instructor, and then became a TV drama director, and produced "Chameleon", "The Love of the Earth", "Heroes Fearless" and "Chen Zhen"
A series of hit TV series such as "Huo Dongge" and "Travel to the Tiger Mountain Again".
At the same time, Xu Xiaoming also sang the theme songs of these TV series, which became very popular. He was awarded the top ten singers in Hong Kong and won four gold record awards.
After moving to the big screen, the first film he shot, "Young Man, OK" won the Special Mention Award and the International Film Critics Award at the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada.
Such a character is a perfect template for the leading male protagonist in Hong Kong entertainment literature.
And just such a person has now left Li's TV and switched to TVB.
So after Huang Xizhao heard these words, his face suddenly changed, his vision went dark, and he fell directly to his seat.
Upon seeing this, Mai Fangxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan hurriedly got up and came to Huang Xizhao.
"Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang, how are you?" Mai Tanxiong shouted anxiously.
Xiao Ruopin immediately said to Huang Xizhao's secretary: "Hurry up and call the hospital. What are you still waiting for?"
Huang Xizhao's secretary did not dare to say anything and quickly called the hospital.
Ten minutes later, the hospital's ambulance arrived and the furious Huang Xizhao was loaded into the ambulance.
This process was naturally seen by the employees and artists in the main building of Li's TV station, and the news quickly spread throughout the radio channels.
After Li Xiaohe learned the news, he said sadly: "I didn't expect things to come to this point."
Sitting opposite Li Xiaohe was Wang Tianlin, who had been helping Liang Risi recruit people during this period.
"Xu Xiaoming is the most popular general of Li TV station after Mai Fangxiong. Now he has been recruited by Manager Liang. Huang Xizhao's current reaction is understandable."
Li Xiaohe asked curiously: "What conditions did Liang Risi give Xu Xiaoming before he would agree to leave Li's TV?"
Wang Tianlin was fully involved in this matter, so he naturally knew about it.
"A breakup fee of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, an album with S-level promotional specifications by Youyu Records, a movie directed by Xu Xiaoming with an investment of no less than 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and a prime-time film directed and produced by Xu Xiaoming
TV drama."
When he heard the first two conditions, Li Xiaohe's expression did not change at all, but when he heard the latter condition, his brows wrinkled slightly.
When Chu Huan acquired TVB, he told Li Xiaohe that he would not participate in the management and decision-making of TVB. Originally, Li Xiaohe was very supportive of TVB recruiting people from Li TV, but with the expansion of these TV stations,
After joining the wireless station in front of and behind the scenes.
Li Xiaohe discovered something that surprised him.
Originally, TVB only had two factions: him and Shao Yifu, but now with the people poached by Liang Risi joining TVB, and in addition, Black and White Media had its own faction within the top management of TVB, but at that time the people from that faction had always been
He has no voice and has not cultivated his own power, so he is often ignored by others.
But now that Li's TV has entered TVB in front of and behind the scenes, these people have become a force that cannot be ignored by TVB. Since these people were recruited by Liang Risi himself, they are naturally classified as a force in the Jiaku system.
Already.
Many former TVB artists have taken the initiative to express their concerns to me.
The cake is so big, and now there are more people sharing the cake. Naturally, these people are worried about their own resources in the future.
"Tianlin, do you think we were right or wrong to cooperate with Director Chu's actions this time?"
Li Xiaohe couldn't help but ask Wang Tianlin at this time.
Wang Tianlin also felt the changes in Taiwan during this period, but he did not answer Li Xiaohe's question. Wang Tianlin is an alternative in TVB. He does not belong to that group. Because he is capable, no matter which group he is, he needs
This person he is.
Playing both sides is Wang Tianlin's way of survival in TVB.
"Li Weng, now that Miss Liang Risi is well-known in the industry, there will be no problem even if she wants to date someone again, so can you help me tell Miss Liang that I won't participate anymore!"
Wang Tianlin suggested to Li Xiaohe.
Li Xiaohe smiled and said: "Tianlin, are you worried that I think too much? Don't worry, I still understand your character and won't think too much about it, and now I...
"
When he finished speaking, Li Xiaohe's voice began to sound a little lonely, and he didn't even finish his words.
But obviously, Li Xiaohe still misunderstood Wang Tianlin. In fact, Wang Tianlin was more motivated by his own interests.
Now as this poaching incident becomes more and more serious, its influence in the circle is also increasing. Although no one can define whether this incident is good or bad, Wang Tianlin still does not want to get involved in this whirlpool.
Already.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It’s just that now Li Xiaohe misunderstood Wang Tianlin’s thoughts, and Wang Tianlin couldn’t explain anything.
After thinking for a while, Li Xiaohe said to Wang Tianlin: "Okay, I have some things to do today, so I will go home first. I can rest assured that you and Zhou Liang Shuyi are keeping an eye on the TV station matters!"
TVB now has three major forces and two giants under the three-party forces.
The three parties are Li Xiaohe who serves as chairman, Shao Yifu who serves as general manager, and Fang Jianhui, a director of the company's Jiaku family. However, Fang Jianhui rarely participates in the specific affairs of TVB, so many people are willing to ignore his existence.
As for the big giant, it is naturally Zhou Liang Shuyi who is now the assistant general manager!
Zhou Liang Shuyi is Li Xiaohe's confidant.
Wang Tianlin didn't say anything else. After sending Li Xiaohe out of the office, he returned to his own office.
After Li Xiaohe returned to his home, his wife Li Lu Yanqun asked curiously when she saw that Li Xiaohe had returned so early this time.
"Isn't there a lot going on in the company recently? Why are you back so early?"
As Li Xiaohe's wife, Li Lu Yanqun is not just a simple vase. On the contrary, Li Xiaohe's lineage can still maintain important support for the famous family after Li Xiaohe's death.
Li Lu Yanqun's natal family is also from a prominent family in Xiangjiang. His father, Lu Wenlan, was Song Xwen's personal secretary and later became the director of the Guangdong Provincial Taxation Bureau.
Li Luyanqun herself was also a top socialite of that period. She received education at St. Stephen's Girls' School in Xiangjiang in her early years. After graduating in 1945, she went to study in North America and studied business management. After graduating from university, she returned to Xiangjiang.
In 1949, she married Li Xiaohe, who was 15 years older than herself.
After Li Xiaohe's death, Li Luyanqun took over all of Li Xiaohe's assets. In the early 1980s, he made a fortune by taking advantage of the floating exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar. In 1981, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar reached
1:5. At that time, Li Luyanqun took advantage of the dip. As a result, in less than a year, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar returned to 1:8, making Li a huge profit.
Later, he joined in the speculation on the Japanese yen and once again made a fortune.
Not only that, after Li Lu Yanqun took over Ritchie's business, he began to sell various factories under Ritchie's name and used the proceeds to invest in the real estate industry.
Among them, the two most exciting business operations were the sale of the United Soda Water Factory founded by Li Xiaohe, and the most successful business operation was the sale of Qixi and Yuquan in bottles...that is, bottled. But in Li Luyanqun's view
, I don’t know how to do business, so instead of working hard in the market, I would rather cash in on the highs.
Therefore, amid the outcry, Li Luyanqun sold the soda water factory to the famous Yang Shuicheng Company.
Facts have proved that Li Luyanqun was right. The soda drink business soon fell into huge competition. If the United Soda Drink Factory is still in hand, even if the business does not deteriorate, it will involve a lot of energy.
Li Luyanqun also used this income to purchase U.S. dollars.
The second wonderful business operation was that after taking over Li Xiaohe's shares in TVB, he sold his TVB shares in 1987. At that time, when Li Luyanqun sold his TVB shares, TVB's stock price was
The share price is HK$14, which is also the highest share price in TVB’s history.
Since the stock price was the highest in history, it was naturally the peak period of TVB, so this business operation was also talked about later.
Although these two things have not happened yet, Li Xiaohe still knows his wife's abilities very well, so when he encounters some major decisions, he is still willing to discuss them with Li Luyanqun.
"There is something I want to discuss with you. Come and give me a good adviser, adviser!"
Li Xiaohe sat on the sofa and preached to Li Luyanqun seriously.
Seeing Li Xiaohe's serious expression, Li Luyanqun cheered up and asked, "What's going on?"
"I want to sell our current shares in TVB and quit TVB completely!" Li Xiaohe said in a shocking way.
Li Luyanqun was a little surprised, but after being surprised, she still analyzed the matter seriously: "Why? I need to know the reason!"
Li Xiaohe said: "As I told you before, I once mentioned to Chu Huan that I hope that the children of our family can enter TVB to gain experience so that they can take over my class in the future."
Li Lu Yanqun nodded and said, "Yes, but didn't Chu Huan deny your suggestion later?"
Li Xiaohe sighed: "Actually, I mentioned this matter to Chu Huan several times after that, but Chu Huan's attitude was very firm. Obviously, the boss and the others may no longer want to enter TVB!"
Li Luyanqun thought for a moment and said, "There must be other reasons? Otherwise, you wouldn't suddenly have this idea?"
Li Xiaohe said: "The current poaching operation has made me understand that Chu Huan has never given up on taking over TVB. In the past, TVB was basically composed of me from actors to behind-the-scenes and administrative staff.
With Shao Yifu and Shao Yifu in control, and the two of us having influence in Xiangjiang, Chu Huan has never taken any drastic actions.
But this time, as those from Li's TV joined TVB, they obviously became a new faction, and this faction naturally belonged to Chu Huan's Jiaku. According to Chu Huan's strength, as long as he started to officially enter TVB
Domain, I believe he would not want other forces to exist in this world."
After Li Luyanqun listened to Li Xiaohe's words, he held Li Xiaohe's hand and said softly: "You know me, I have never been good at management. Although TVB is now the largest TV station in Hong Kong, it also owns
It has absolute media influence, but in fact this is not necessary for our Li family.
Now the development trend of Xiangjiang is obviously shifting to the real estate industry and financial industry, but the uncertainty of the financial industry is too strong. I am more optimistic about the future development of the real estate industry, and if you look at the development of Chu Huan, this person is crazy in Xiangjiang
The idea of enclosure should be the same as ours.
This person has taken the initiative to move closer to his hometown this time, and will continue to build buildings on land during this period. This shows that his hometown is still very optimistic about the future development of Xiangjiang, so I personally think that since you want to let go
, then it’s better to really let go.
Now that you still have absolute prestige in TVB, and with TVB’s expansion this time, our shares in TVB can still be bought by Chu Huan for a big price, and then we can invest this money in the real estate industry.
Well, whether you make other investments, the returns should not be worse than those of TVB.
The most important thing is that this time we took the initiative to propose the sale, we can also use this to maintain a better relationship with Chu Huan. Although the Hong Kong government is targeting Chu Huan now, looking at their actions, we know that they are actually trying to avoid Chu Huan.
of.
In my opinion, no matter who wins or loses in the end, both sides will actually find a delicate balance point to coexist in the end."
After hearing Li Luyanqun's analysis, Li Xiaohe did not answer immediately but fell into deep thought. This was not an easy decision to make.
Although he already had such an idea, when it came time to actually implement it, he had more worries.
"Let the family prepare dinner, I'm a little hungry!"
Li Xiaohe preached to Li Luyanqun.
"Yeah!" Li Luyanqun didn't urge Li Xiaohe to make a decision. She knew what she should say and what she shouldn't say.
Even if they are husband and wife!
.
The next day, Li Xiaohe came to the main building of Shaw Brothers Studio and met Shao Yifu.
"Chu Huan really wants to poach Li's TV this time. Even Xu Xiaoming has poached TVB!"
After meeting Li Xiaohe, Shao Yifu put down the newspaper in his hand and jokingly lectured Li Xiaohe.
The news about Xu Xiaoming's change of job to TVB was also published in the newspapers today. In fact, Xu Xiaoming's current talents have not yet been fully demonstrated. He has only made some achievements in the fields of TV series and records, but has not yet reached his true peak.
But just his achievements in the field of TV dramas were enough for Shao Yifu to understand the importance of this person.
But this is only for insiders, but for outsiders, Xu Xiaoming's job hopping is obviously not as sensational as the job hopping of artists such as Huang Shali and Ouyang Peishan. All the reports in today's newspapers about TVB poaching people
, the content was more given to a male artist from TVB, and Xu Xiaoming just mentioned it in passing.
Li Xiaohe smiled and said to Shao Yifu: "Brother Six, I came here today to discuss something with you."
Seeing Li Xiaohe's serious expression, Shao Yifu also put away his smile and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Xiaohe said seriously: "I have decided to sell my shares in TVB to Chu Huan and officially quit TVB!"
Shao Yifu's expression suddenly changed. He didn't expect Li Xiaohe to make such a big decision.
I have talked about TVB’s internal power struggle before. It can be said that TVB is now in an extremely delicate stage of internal environment. But if Li Xiaohe leaves at this time, the situation within TVB will change dramatically in an instant.
, coupled with the execution ability and absolute strength shown by Chu Huan in this recruitment operation, I believe that when the time comes, Yuan Lixiao and people from this lineage within TVB will definitely flock to Chu Huan's lineage immediately.
.
Then when the time comes, TVB’s power will become smaller and smaller.
Shao Yifu is different from Li Xiaohe. In addition to TVB, Li Xiaohe has many other industries. It can be said that even without TVB, it will not have much impact on Li Xiaohe's own business circle.
But Yifu Shao is different.
The film market in Hong Kong is more prosperous than ever before, but Yifu Shao can clearly feel that the film market of Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong is shrinking further.
If he loses his shares in TVB again, he will completely lose his right to speak in TVB. At that time, Shaw Brothers will further shrink in the film market and lose the support of TVB. Such consequences are what Shaw Brothers does not want to see.
.
"Ahe, if you want to sell your shares in TVB, I won't stop you, but can you sell your shares in TVB to me?"
It didn't take long for Shao Yifu to make his decision. He didn't want to lose the right to speak in TVB, so he had to own shares in TVB.
"Brother Six, haven't you seen it through yet?" Li Xiaohe said with a bitter smile: "If I want to sell the TVB shares in my hands, I can only sell them to Chu Huan. What's the use of selling them to you?
As long as I leave TVB, Chu Huan's Jiaku will definitely take over TVB officially. By then Chu Huan will be TVB's major shareholder. What can you do?
He can just not care about any of your opinions and try his best to develop his own ideas within TVB. Do you think you will have any hope then?"
Li Xiaohe's words left Shao Yifu speechless, but he was still reluctant to let Shao Yifu give up TVB like this.
Looking at Shao Yifu who was silent, Li Xiaohe also persuaded: "Brother Six, I understand that TVB has a different impact on you than me, but it is not easy for you and Chu Huan to have the relationship you have now. Although
Currently, the film has not been released due to the Film and Television Department's decision to produce black and white images, but I think this situation will eventually be resolved.
You probably don’t think like people outside think that this time the black and white images are likely to be over, right?”
"Of course not!" Shao Yifu said firmly.
It has been half a month since a movie with black and white images has been released. This situation has finally been captured by insiders and outsiders, so many people are speculating that this time black and white images have encountered higher-dimensional dimensionality reduction.
It is a blow, so it is difficult for black and white images to continue to survive.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But Shao Yifu knows Chu Huan’s plan, so he understands that the black and white image will not only have no problems in the future, but will even become more powerful, unless he
Backstab Chu Huan.
But Shao Yifu would definitely not do such a thing, not before Chu Huan settled the differences with him and helped him to slander Wang Jingyi and others.
It's because of Chu Huan's strength.
Even under the pressure of the Hong Kong government, Chu Huan could still fight back and forth with the opponent and still have the upper hand in the situation. Although Shao Yifu himself has a great influence in Hong Kong, this influence is not comparable to that of Chu Huan.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Based on Shao Yifu's understanding of Chu Huan, if he really dared to stab Chu Huan in the back, then Chu Huan would definitely immediately turn his gun on the Shao brothers, and it would be a fight to the death.
Shao Yifu didn't have the guts to take on such a situation.
If we unite with Chu Huan to fight against the Hong Kong government, there is still hope of victory, and the hope of victory is still very high. But if we unite with the Hong Kong government to stab Chu Huan in the back, then Shaw Brothers' business in Hong Kong will really be over by then!
"Brother Six, actually you are just living in this mountain and don't know the true face of Mount Lu. You can still have your own TV station without TVB!"
Li Xiaohe gave Shao Yifu a solution to Shao Yifu's current situation.
"Ah He, what do you mean?" Shao Yifu immediately asked Li Xiaohe.
Li Xiaohe said: "Now that Li's TV has been poached to pieces by Chu Huan, I believe that their advertising investment conference at the end of the year will definitely be very bleak. The voice of Ying Lunli behind Li's TV is actually the voice of Li's TV."
The TV station is a blood drawing company. Based on your connections in England and the financial support, I think it should be easy to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain Li TV.
At that time, you will be the absolute controller of Li's TV, and you can also use Li's TV to develop your own Shaw Brothers. The most important thing is that we broke up with Chu Huan peacefully this time, and our love is still there. Although Li
The viewing environment of our TV is not very good, but I know that you have always had your own thoughts on the TV industry. With the support of Shaw Brothers, I believe that under your leadership, Li's TV will definitely develop again.
The most important thing is that Xiangjiang can definitely accommodate two TV stations. As long as our relationship with Chu Huan is still there, the two TV stations will have a peaceful competition relationship, so..."
Li Xiaohe's words seemed to open a door for Shao Yifu, instantly releasing his congested heart.
"This is a good idea!" Shao Yifu also had to admit that Li Xiaohe's suggestion was very exciting. Looking at Li Xiaohe, Shao Yifu suddenly issued an invitation.
"Ahe, if I really acquire Li's TV, why don't you and I cooperate again?"
Li Xiaohe waved his hands with a smile and said: "I'll forget it, my enthusiasm for the TV industry has faded, and it's good like this now. A Huan controls TVB, and your sixth brother is in charge of Li's TV. If I have
If there is any need for cooperation, I think you two will not refuse to give me this face, right?"
Shao Yifu smiled and said: "We have been old friends for many years, so naturally there is no problem!"
Li Xiaohe said: "So, you have already made a decision?"
Shao Yifu thought for a while and nodded seriously: "It's decided. As Ah He said, since we are destined to have no chance with TVB, it's better to let go quickly. This way we can gain more friendship from Ah Huan and get the best of both worlds."
matter."
Li Xiaohe smiled and said: "Then let's go to Chu Huan to talk about this matter today?"
"Now that the decision has been made, naturally there is no need for any further procrastination. It just so happens that I can start negotiating with Li's Voice!"
Although Shao Yifu is seventy years old, he is still very energetic. His energy makes Li Xiaohe very envious.
The two walked out of the Shaw Brothers studio together and took a car to Chinatown.
.
Chinese row, top floor!
In Chu Huan's office, Xu Yi said curiously: "Is there anything important about Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu coming over at the same time?"
Before Shao Yifu and Li Xiaohe arrived, they specifically called Xu Yi's office and came over after learning that Chu Huan was free at this time.
Chu Huan was also a little unsure of the reason why the two of them came together, and said: "I'm not sure, but it's definitely not a trivial matter for the two of them to come to the house at the same time."
Xu Yi analyzed: "Could it be that something happened at TVB?"
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "I'm not sure. There shouldn't be anything going on at TVB now. And regarding the large number of people at TVB at this time, I told them about it before. I don't think it will happen because of this."
Something!”
"What's that about?"
Xu Yi couldn't figure out the intention of the two of them.
But just as they were guessing what Shao Yifu and Li Xiaohe were thinking, Wu Shuhan walked in and spoke to Chu Huan with a somewhat complicated expression.
"Boss, something big happened at TVB!"
Chu Huan was stunned. He was just wondering if something big happened at TVB, but he actually alerted Shao Yifu and Li Xiaohe to come over at the same time. Here Wu Shuhan brought a big event at TVB.
"What's going on?" Chu Huan asked aloud.
Wu Shuhan said: "Just now TVB Assistant General Manager Zhou Liangshuyi publicly announced on Jiayi TV that five people, including Ye Jiexin, Liu Tianci, Lu Guozhan, Lin Xuhua, and Shi Shaoming, decided to leave TVB and join Jiayi TV!"
