Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1110 Aunt Six
After get off work, Fang Yathua returned to Run Run Shaw's villa as usual.

When she opened the door and walked in, she saw Run Run Shaw sitting in the living room with his head down, looking at something on the table as if in a daze.

Just when Fang Yat-hua came to Run Run Shaw's side and looked down, he realized that what the other party was reading was a newspaper, and the most striking headline on the newspaper was the news about "Godzilla".

"sit down."

Run Run Shaw had noticed that Fang Yat Hua had come to his side, he smiled and pointed to the seat next to him.

After Fang Yat Hua sat down, Run Run Shaw suddenly sighed softly. Although the voice was not loud, Fang Yat Hua could hear him clearly.

"Did something happen?"

Fang Yathua didn't understand why sixth uncle sighed?Now that wireless has developed so well, it has always been in the leading position. Although it is occasionally surpassed by ATV, it can still occupy the leading position most of the time.

As long as Lin Daoqiu doesn't get involved in ATV, ATV will never really surpass TVB in this lifetime.

"It is said that the box office of "Godzilla" has exceeded one billion in North America, and it has also achieved box office successes around the world."

When this matter was mentioned, Run Run Shaw felt both envious and helpless.

Movies and TV are of course the most important thing for him, and there is no doubt about it.

At that time, Shaw Cinemas was sold to Bao Shaogang. Firstly, Run Run Shaw was unwilling to fight because of Shaw’s years of downturn. Second, he wanted to use Bao Shaogang to contain Lin Daoqiu, so that the other party could not withdraw to help ATV fight TVB.

As a result, there are no major problems in TVB now, but Xiangjiang Films is developing better and better.

4000 million, 5000 million, and up to 5000 million in "Godzilla" recently, these were all things that Run Run Shaw could not have imagined or predicted before.

Xiangjiang movies are so popular that Run Run Shaw is not willing to retire like this.

It might be difficult for others to see what Run Run Shaw was thinking, but how could Fang Yat-wah, who had been with Run Run Shaw day and night for so many years, not know.

"In the past two years, the world of Xiangjiang movies has indeed become better and better. Movies with a box office of [-] million yuan can be broken, which was unimaginable before."

Fang Yihua has also worked in the Shaw Brothers film company for many years, so she is certainly no stranger to film affairs.

Ten years ago, getting a box office of several million was already a very remarkable thing.

But ten years later, Lin Daoqiu actually raised this standard to 5000 million, which is really incredible.

But this kind of thing really happened in front of them, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to admit that Lin Daoqiu's status in the Xiangjiang film and television industry had far surpassed everyone.

"If we hadn't sold Shaw Cinemas back then and continued to maintain a cooperative relationship with Lin Daoqiu, how good it would be now."

Uncle Liu not only sold Shaw Cinemas, but also disbanded Shaw Brothers Film Company. Only a small part of the artists under his banner went to TVB, and most of them were recruited to New Oriental by Lin Daoqiu.

Even the four great directors of Shaw Brothers, Li Hanxiang, Zhang Che, Chu Yuan, and Hu Jinquan, are now members of New Oriental.

Every time I think of this incident, Run Run Shaw regrets his original choice.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu absorbed the actors and directors of the Shaw Brothers, and the films they made didn't make much money, but under such a cycle, most of them had jobs to do.

And Lin Daoqiu has another idea in doing this, that is to make Xiangjiang the most prosperous and most advanced film and television leader in Asia.

If there is not a big studio and many excellent actors, this will definitely not be able to support Lin Daoqiu's dream.

We must know that a complete film industry is not just directors and actors.

It involves many very professional things, such as art, lighting, photography, sound effects, costumes, props, group performances, post-production and various technical jobs.

If you just think that you can develop the film industry in a region with a few top stars and a few blockbuster movies, then you are simply wishful thinking.

"Actually, I think the development of Xiangjiang Films is getting better and better, but it's a pity that the theaters and film companies are closed now."

If one of them was left behind, it would not be difficult to make a comeback.

But the problem now is that they have neither theaters nor film companies in their hands. If they want to make a comeback, the difficulty can be imagined.

But fortunately, although Uncle Liu has nothing in his hands now, he has money. If he wants to, it is not impossible to restart Shaw Brothers.

After Fang Yihua finished speaking, Sixth Uncle couldn't help shaking his hand, there was nothing he could do now.

"Don't mention these, don't mention these..."

Fang Yihua at the side saw it and felt very sad, so she decided to do something.

…………

Lin Daoqiu was very surprised when he received Fang Yihua's call to invite him to drink tea. Even though he was full of doubts, he still went to the appointment happily.

In a coffee shop in the urban area, Lin Daoqiu met Fang Yihua.

"Miss Fang, long time no see, you still look the same."

Lin Daoqiu sat down and ordered a cup of coffee.

Fang Yihua looked at Lin Daoqiu, who was sitting opposite her in a neat suit, and she suddenly felt very dazed.

About seven years ago, I also invited Lin Daoqiu here for tea. At that time, Lin Daoqiu's "Master Qian" got a good box office after it was released. At the beginning, we were talking about overseas agency rights.

Unexpectedly, seven years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the young man who was a little green at the time has now become a hero of one side.

"It's really flattering to be praised by Mr. Lin."

Fang Yihua smiled, she had heard such words a lot, and she wouldn't take it to heart.

Lin Daoqiu just looked at the other party with a smile and didn't speak, because he didn't know what to say to Fang Yihua.

"Mr. Lin, actually, I asked you to meet today because I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Miss Fang, please tell me."

Lin Daoqiu nodded.

"I want to take a stake in New Oriental and join Xiangjiang Cinemas."

When Fang Yihua finished speaking, the smile on Lin Daoqiu's face froze instantly.

Fang Yat Hua wants to take a stake in New Oriental?This is not too unexpected. After all, New Oriental is now the leader of Xiangjiang Films. It is normal for Fang Yathua to want to make money by participating in shares.

But what surprised Lin Daoqiu was that Fang Yathua wanted to join Xiangjiang Cinemas?This made Lin Daoqiu unable to understand no matter what he thought.

Because Shaw Cinemas had already been sold to Bao Shaogang, and then transferred to Golden Harvest, and was finally bought by Pan Disheng, becoming the current Baocheng Cinemas.

Fang Yat Hua wants to join Xiangjiang Cinemas?What did she join with?
