Chapter 1462 Picking up the stars with an RPG in hand
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
In May, weeping dragons, in June, jingyang.

The scorching sun of summer hangs over Hong Kong Island.

Zou Wenhuai arched his waist and held the shower in his hand. His temples were gray, his head was shiny, his body was thin, and he was in good spirits.

The old man was still humming "The Wind of May" by Zhou Xuan in the 30s.

Like a remnant from the old era, suddenly there is no boat to carry him in the new era of Hong Kong films.

In the past one or two years, he rarely intervened in the specific affairs of Golden Harvest. The management of the company was handed over to his younger brother Zou Dingou, and his old buddy He Guanchong was in charge of some big projects.

"Dingxin, Mr. Wu is here."

Ms. Yuan, the original wife of Zou Wenhuai with white hair and thin body, went to the garden to report to Zou Wenhuai who was arranging flowers and plants.

The reason why he is called Dingxin is actually because Zou Wenhuai's original name is Zou Dingxin.

"bother you for something."

Zou Wenhuai scooped up half a spoonful of bird food with a wooden spoon and put it in the cage. The starlings in the cage jumped and clucked:
"Business is booming! Business is booming!"

"You can speak better than humans." Zou Wenhuai patted his clothes, put away his tools and walked towards the living room.

"Sheng Wu, please have some tea."

Zou Yuheng, the only daughter of the first son, took the initiative to serve the tea in a gentle and tactful manner, silently sizing up the "legendary" figure in front of her.

She is about the same age as the other party, but the other party's achievements really put her peers to shame.

Even now, he is comparable to his father and uncle.

Once upon a time, my father was hailed as "Taishan Beidou" in the film industry together with Mr. Shao.Now, the other party's limelight is no less than that of his father, and he even said that his influence is greater than that of his father.

"Miss Zou, you are welcome." Wu Xiaozu bowed slightly.

Lao Zou's original partner gave birth to a daughter, and she was born at the age of 36.Of course, Lao Zou has two well-known "illegitimate children" abroad, who are said to have been placed in the United States.By the way, old Zoutou also carried forward Wei Wu's legacy at the beginning, because that lover had a family at that time...

So far, many old people still vaguely remember the scene of a hooded man wearing a bath towel on the road and being chased and run wildly by his husband in the street one afternoon. Li Heizi, the current "key fairy", recorded it in his little diary clear and direct.

It's a pity I didn't see the face.

But in Li Heizi's words, I know who it is by looking at that buttocks, so I won't tell!
"Miss Zou is in charge of Golden Harvest Theater?"

In later generations, although Ms. Zou did not inherit Golden Harvest, she did not break away from the film and television industry, she just didn't show her beauty.There is her shadow in Zhou Xingxing's Bigao Group... She is a member of the board of directors.

That's right, it was the Bigao Group that was later used to "gamble" with New Culture for 13 billion.

The name of Master Xing's favorite mansion worth 11 billion is 'Tianbigao', try to compare it with the sky.

Very bold.

"I'm just getting in touch with the management of the cinema, and I'm still in the exploratory stage, so I can't be called responsible." Zou Haoheng smiled.

Don't look at the thin old Zou, with a look of 'you don't buy monkeys, just take a photo for five yuan'.But the daughter can't be said to be absolutely beautiful, but everyone's ladylike temperament is still quite good, and she is slightly fat and dignified.

"Cough cough~~"

Zou Wenhuai, who kept his hands behind his back and didn't speak, let out a defensive dry cough, and subconsciously blocked the sight communication between his daughter and Wu Xiaozu.

Have to guard against it!
Old Mrs. Zou understood a bad boy like Wu Xiaozu.

He even regretted agreeing to let Wu Xiaozu come to visit.

Who the hell doesn't know that this guy has been entangled with many actresses?If his daughter accidentally fell in love with him, old Zou would vomit to death. Only a man knows a scumbag best.

"Miss Zou is indeed a daughter of a tiger father without a dog. Miss Zou is really outstanding." Wu Xiaozu smiled and picked up cheap words to express his goodwill.

He didn't know that Boss Zou was guarding against him like a thief, so when he heard his words, his face turned dark and his veins twitched.

Sit down, bring tea to your mouth to lower your blood pressure.

"Go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Azu, you came to visit suddenly, you can't just beg for a cup of tea, right?"

Zou Wenhuai took the initiative to break the silence between the two, and looked at Wu Xiaozu with deep eyes, "Your sudden visit this time is not because of the relationship between the Wanwan film producer and the Hong Kong film production company?"

Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy.

The old fox could see the purpose of Wu Xiaozu's trip at a glance, and blocked what Wu Xiaozu wanted to say in advance.

"If this is the case, there is no need for it. Golden Harvest has its own channels, and in the past two years, its focus has been on Hollywood."

"That's not all the reason."

Wu Xiaozu smiled, seemed very sincere, and said without any affectation: "The relationship between Hong Kong films and Wanwan is not important to me, the purpose of my trip is mainly to chat with Sir Zou about other aspects cooperation matters.

As you know, the Laser Video Association was recently established on Hong Kong Island to regulate the distribution and copyright of video tapes, presumably to prevent piracy. "

Zou Wenhuai was drinking tea and listening to Wu Xiaozu's high-sounding nonsense.

He doesn't know whether the establishment of this association is to prevent piracy, but he is clear about monopolizing the market.

"I don't know Sir Zou, don't you know about Samsung?"

"Korea Samsung?"

Zou Wenhuai raised his eyebrows and stared at Wu Xiaozu in confusion.

"I've always believed that advances in technology will change the way people are entertained, from silent movies, to black and white talkies, to color movies, then vinyl records to now cassettes...broadcasting to now television. We content producers are always We have to change the way we produce content with the pace of the times..." Wu Xiaozu said with a smile.

"The progress of the times."

Zou Wenhuai has been able to dominate the film industry for so many years, and two or three generations of time are still standing. Naturally, he is not a stubborn person. On the contrary, although he, the old party of the old era, has not boarded the new ship of the so-called new era of Hong Kong films.

However, that was because he felt that the ship was not enough to enter the great channel, so he began to work hard to enter Hollywood many years ago to expand Golden Harvest's channels.

This kind of vision and courage must not be underestimated.

Don't use the mainland market of later generations to apply the difficulties faced by Chinese-language films today. The swords of the previous dynasty cannot kill the officials of this dynasty. Similarly, the cognition of later generations cannot fully judge the current methods.

Again, we are never smarter than our predecessors.

We are no wiser than our parents and elders.

The only thing you can be proud of is that what you stand on their shoulders may look more 'new and trendy' than them, but one day you will be recognized as 'embers of the old era' .

70后、80后、90后、00后、10后……

The most fortunate thing for the new generation of you is that you live more selfishly than the previous generation, but the essence has not changed...

"Yes, the times are advancing."

Wu Xiaozu smiled and waved to the bodyguard, who walked in with a playback machine that looked lighter and more delicate than a video player.

"Sir Zou, have you seen "That Man's Summer"? I filmed it. It's very good."

"..."

Zou Wenhuai picked up the cigar with a smile, "So you want to ask me to watch it?"

"Correct."

"Video playing?"

"You said that the times are advancing. Is it convenient for someone to connect to the TV?"

Zou Wenhuai stretched out his hand to beckon.

Two staff members quickly walked to the TV for installation and debugging.

"I don't see the progress of the times." Zou Wenhuai looked at a machine that looked different from a video player, but the difference was not big. He put on a cigar, and slowly lit it with a lighter.

Wu Xiaozu smiled, and took a plastic-wrapped CD case from the box, "That's because Sir Zou, you haven't seen the original appearance of the times."

Watching Wu Xiaozu take out a disc that is slightly behind the paper from the box, and then hand it to the staff, who pops out the reader with the remote control, and puts the disc on it.

Zou Wenhuai stared at the opponent's movements.

The hand holding the cigar stopped in mid-air.

The pupils of the eyes dilated slightly, the eyes flickered, and the whole person fell into silence.

On the TV, the title of the movie appeared——

The picture quality is significantly higher than that of video tape by more than one grade.

"This is the progress of the times?" Zou Wenhuai turned his head.

"Its cost is low, even only a dozen or even a tenth of that of a video tape, and two disks can basically store a 90-minute movie, which is convenient and simple. Its playing times have a longer life than video tapes ..."

At this time, the videotape will be blurred if played too many times. After all, it is a linear image storage method, and the optical disc is a digital hybrid method.

Zou Wenhuai fell silent.

Of course he understands how much shock this small disc and the machine in front of him will bring to the film industry——

At the same time, he also understood why Wu Xiaozu came to him.

"So this is why you gave up the laser video tape? Are you so sure that he can replace the video tape?" Zou Wenhuai stared at Wu Xiaozu.

"Try it."

"Once this thing is launched, do you know how much shock it will cause?" Zou Wenhuai did not wait for Wu Xiaozu's answer, and said bluntly: "If it is really as cheap as you said, it is likely..."

"How can people stand against the times?" Wu Xiaozu said with a smile, "Humans can't, at least they shouldn't."

Zou Wenhuai was in a complicated mood and took a deep breath, "Why are you looking for me?"

"Because Sir Zou, although you are a businessman, you are also a filmmaker. Capital and film are not incompatible, but certainly not in the form and method of today." Wu Xiaozu was open and honest, appearing extraordinarily sincere.

"let me consider it."

"Okay. Then don't bother Sir Zou."

Wu Xiaozu stood up with a smile, took the initiative to drink up the tea in the tea bowl, and asked with a pun, "The tea from Sir Zou's house is really good, I will buy some if I have a chance."

"This tea is not easy to buy." The little old man Zou Wenhuai stared at him and said.

"The tea seller will never be the same family." Wu Xiaozu smiled brightly.

"Daddy, let me see Mr. Wu off." Ms. Zou was still more polite than old Zou, and took the initiative to see off Wu Xiaozu, but when she walked to the door, she suddenly asked, "Wu Sheng, will this affect the theater?"

"Probably, probably not." Wu Xiaozu was ambiguous, and the latter was thoughtful.

　I have to go to the hospital for an examination tomorrow. Today, my cervical spine and shoulders hurt so much that I can't turn over.
