China Entertainment's turbulent era

Chapter 559 What to do to make a big film company collapse
I said to be direct, but I didn't expect the other party to be so direct.

Alien Horse is a character who has experienced many storms.

In recent years, he can be said to have reached the pinnacle of his life.

There are a lot of people on the Internet who call their fathers.

He didn't feel any embarrassment, he even felt that he deserved it.

Because he believes that it is indeed because of him that many people's lives have been changed.

Alien Ma thinks so, and he doesn't think it's too much, after all, so many people need to rely on him to live.

To be honest, this is indeed a bit too arrogant.

But people, it’s not always like this.

And who can resist swelling?
Of course, Alien Ma's acting skills are actually very good. As far as he is concerned, his image to the public is still very humble. He even said it well. He regrets starting his own company at all... At least, he himself is Consider yourself humble.

But anyway, it has always been positive.

But now facing Shen Fang, this person...

It is really different from all the people I have met before.

He is really beneficial, that's how direct he is.

But, since it's already so straightforward, then don't hide it from yourself.

"Brother Shen, I already know what you think, but how sure are you of this acquisition?"

This question is very strange. Interestingly, the strange thing is that this question was asked by an alien horse.

Shen Fang had a smile on his face, he seemed to have known the other party would ask this for a long time.

"Mr. Ma, how sure do you think I am?"

It's still a rhetorical question?
Throwing this question over made the alien horse laugh.

Actually, for the question just now, Alien Ma quietly changed his name.

Originally, the two were relatively strangers, at least there was no intersection before.

Therefore, calling him Boss Shen is completely fine, but calling him Brother Shen directly afterward really meant to get closer.

But Shen Fang's 'rhetorical question' has already directly expressed his attitude.

"Well..." Alien Ma laughed, "If I look at it personally, I feel that brother Shen's acquisition of Huayi is an idea with zero possibility."

Very good, he also expressed his attitude.

Why did the alien horse ask that question just now?

You know, his identity is different. If he is a friend of Shen Fang, or a supporter of Shen Fang, then let's ask the question of the success rate of acquiring a company.

This is a negotiation.

But Waixingma itself is the major shareholder of Huayi, and his shareholding is only less than that of the two brothers, and the shares of the two brothers are pledged to the bank.

The alien horse almost controlled Huayi. Of course, this result has not really appeared yet.

Therefore, he came to ask about the success rate, which is obviously a relatively offensive statement.

It can't be called ridicule, but it is somewhat interesting.

Shen Fang naturally heard it, so he asked back like that.

At that moment, the alien horse directly expressed his attitude, which was tantamount to directly rejecting Shen Fang's acquisition intention.

To put it bluntly, even if Boss Chen sincerely wants to buy Huayi, but my surname Ma disagrees, at least you can't buy Huayi's stock from me.

At this point, the two can be said to be tit for tat.

But the atmosphere is still good, at least two people are smiling and seem to be chatting.

in this way……

"Mr. Ma, how about we talk about movies?"

Shen Fang's proposal was a bit abrupt, but the alien horse still smiled.

"I can't say enough about you in movies. Brother Shen, your professionalism is definitely top-notch in the industry. Although some people blackmailed you when you were in school, you had the lowest grades, but I understand that you are a famous teacher, and you have so many teachers." I believe that no one in our country understands movies better than you, whether it is theory or practice."

These words were so powerful that Shen Fang didn't even dare to answer them.

"Mr. Ma won the award, I'm really just a student." After a moment of humility, Shen Fang changed the topic, "Actually, what I want to talk about is not entirely about movies."

"What is that?" The alien horse became curious.

Shen Fang didn't delay, and started talking directly, "Actually, movies are not a new product, or film and television are not new.

Since there is already a history, then we can look at what happened in history. "

"Oh? History?" Alien Ma still didn't know what Shen Ang was going to say, but he was already very interested.

Shen Fang went on to say: "Not only is film and television not new, but the combination of capital and film and television is not new at all.

I actually want to tell you some interesting stories, Mr. Ma, such as what happened in Hong Kong back then. "

"Hong Kong? Haha... Hurry up and talk."

"Well, the development of Hong Kong films back then was really influenced by our mainland.

Basically, the early Hong Kong filmmakers came from our mainland. Some of them developed very well, but some of them declined.

The one who developed well was Tianyi, who was in the mainland before, and later became the Shaw Brothers.

Mr. Ma must have heard of Shaw Brothers, but, I think, Mr. Ma should not be very clear why Shaw Brothers is only a TV station now, right? "

"Well...haha, I really don't know."

Everyone has a specialization in the arts. Although Alien Ma is now very highly regarded, he really doesn't know much about movies, especially movie history, let alone Hong Kong movie history.

Of course, roughly speaking, the history of Hong Kong film is the decline of Shaw Brothers, then the rise of Golden Harvest, and then the decline of Golden Harvest. Now it is controlled by our mainland and Hollywood.

That's basically it, however, there are details.

"I want to tell Mr. Ma some of the details, and the little stories of these details are related to a woman."

"Who is this woman?"

"Uncle Six's wife, Ms. Fang."

"Oh, something to do with her?"

"The relationship is really not small."

"how to say?"

"Listen to me slowly."

What did Shen Fang want to say about this Ms. Fang?

It really makes people laugh and cry.

This Ms. Fang was a female singer in her early years, she could be considered a singer, but after she followed Uncle Six, they were not married for a while.

With the favor of the sixth uncle, Ms. Fang gradually assumed power.

Her performance is very interesting. It can be said that Shaw Brothers' complete withdrawal from the film business has a very direct and great relationship with Ms. Fang.

Blame a woman?

Have to see what she did first.

First of all, Ms. Fang likes to do one thing in particular.

Master of micromanagement.

That's right, it was interfering with the work of directors and actors under Shaw Brothers at that time, almost to the point where the former singer wanted to teach those big directors of Shaw Brothers how to make movies.

Of course, her 'teaching' doesn't teach everything, it mainly teaches these directors how to save money.

Just how far is Ms. Fang in terms of saving money?

Once I saw Shaw Brothers' actors using special makeup paper when they were putting on makeup, and she was immediately dissatisfied.

It's similar to toilet paper, I'll use toilet paper in the future!

You know, Shaw Brothers was actually a factory at the beginning, and when directors and actors came in to film, it was no different from entering the factory.

After her words, it was directly equivalent to rectifying the extravagance and waste in the factory.

In the future, she will really use toilet paper to wipe her face. After all, she is the sixth uncle's woman, who dares to disobey?
As a result, once, a well-known Italian director came to visit, and he saw Shaw Brothers actors wiping their faces with toilet paper.

He said without hesitation: Do you wipe your face with toilet paper because you think your face is like your butt?
These words contained strong discrimination and sarcasm, but one could imagine that Shaw Brothers, who was so genial to foreigners, must nod and bow.

Wipe your face with toilet paper, and that's just one of them.

Ms. Fang's influence on Shaw Brothers is definitely one of the smallest things.

It's as if someone sells dumplings well, and she wants to teach the chef how to make dumplings, but she is scolded miserably.

But what really affected Shaw Brothers, it could be said to be a fatal blow, was because of a few famous people.

How did Jiahe get up?
In fact, it was because Uncle Six was too stingy that Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others couldn't stand it, so they came out to set up their own.

But it's not just Golden Harvest's entrepreneurial veterans, there are also several important key figures.

One of them was the legendary superstar Bruce Lee.

Originally, Bruce Lee offered Shaw Brothers $1.

After all, he is an American, and there is no problem with asking the price in US dollars.

But at that time, even Dillon, David Jiang and others who were very popular in Shaw Brothers, it was only 1 Hong Kong dollars.

It's four or five times worse to say the least.

Ms. Fang immediately made a decision.

This opening cannot be opened!

If Bruce Lee was given a contract of 1 U.S. dollars, then the others should not rebel?
As a result, just like that, Bruce Lee went to Golden Harvest to film "Big Brother Tangshan".

Later, Uncle Six came out on his own and wanted to pay several million, but he didn't sign Bruce Lee. Although there were some makeup photos and other rumors, it was just Bruce Lee's pressure on Golden Harvest.

This is not enough.

There was also a person who was considered a young backbone in Shaw Brothers at the time. He wanted to make a movie, but was scolded by Ms. Fang and ran away.

Do you dare to raise the share?

This young man is called Xu Guanwen.

Later, the four masters of the Xu family became famous in Xiangjiang.

It can be said that Ms. Fang has never heard of this kind of show operation.

She scolded almost all of Shaw's original famous directors, and the last one was Chu Yuan, who was scolded to the point of tears.

In this way, at the end of the 70s, Shaw Brothers completely ended its film business, and that big film factory also declared bankruptcy, leaving the building empty.

Now in Hong Kong, it is sometimes regarded as a haunted house, and some young people go to explore it, which is considered to be a waste of energy.

So, Shen Fang said this, that is, Ms. Fang made Shaw Brothers what it is today.

What is his purpose?

After finishing speaking, Shen Fang asked this question.

"Mr. Ma, do you think Ms. Fang is responsible for Shaw's collapse?"

This question is really interesting. Shen Fang, you talked about her for a long time, but you finally asked this question.

How would Mr. Ma respond?
He smiled, "Brother Shen, let me just say it. If you want to talk about movies, no one can talk about you better."

What does this mean?

……

"You two men, what are you talking about?"

The alien horse is gone, and his expression is very special. Of course, everyone in "The Wandering Earth" is very curious.

Someone has to ask?

who?

Sister Mai Mai, it's up to you.

If you ask, your Uncle Shen Fang will never fail to answer.

Maimai was helpless for a while, so she had to come over with her homework.

Faced with this problem, Shen Fang was quite helpless. It seems that everyone likes to listen to gossip.

then……

"You little girl, why do you care about these things?"

Mai Mai is not happy, "Who's a little girl in a movie!"

"Then... call brother to listen." Shen Fang started to tease the child.

"Uncle Shen Fang, it's fine if you don't want to answer. Anyway, I asked." Mai Mai was not fooled.

Shen Fang had no choice but to scratch his head, let him simply reveal.

"About a business deal."

"Business?"

This is indeed a more reasonable explanation, but if someone really listened to the conversation between Shen Fang and the alien horse, they probably wouldn't believe that they were talking about business.

So, is this business going to work?
"Has the deal been concluded?" Mai Mai was curious.

"I don't know." Although Shen Fang said that, his face was full of confidence.

"You...huh! If you don't want to say it, forget it." Mai Mai came up with a provocative method.

It's a pity that she met Uncle Shen Fang.

"Hey, are you still pretending to be an adult?"

Shen Fang even scratched Mai Mai's nose, which made Mai Mai very angry.

"Why are you doing this! Return uncle!"

Angry, but unfortunately, Shen Fang smiled even more happily.

……

Will this business succeed?
Moreover, what happened to the story that Shen Fang told?
Not long after, a piece of news exploded in the entertainment industry!

"About another change in the Huayi acquisition!"

"Is it Shen Fang who wants to buy Huayi?"

"Shen Fang is going to make a move?"

"Shen Fang, is this revenge?"

Many netizens commented like this, but this time they gave a very serious announcement.

That's right, Hua Yi is talking to Shen Fang about the acquisition.

Simply put, this stock is about to go up again.

As for Shen Fang's acquisition of Huayi... the motive is too suspicious!

Are you trying to avenge the gods?
Actually, it's not that simple, but it's not too complicated either.

It seemed that Tianxian was also naturally alarmed by this incident, and then called, and she also mentioned one more thing.

"How did you talk with that Mr. Ma?"

Shen Fang's answer this time was completely different from when he was dealing with Mai Mai, he was very serious.

"I told him about the impact of capital on film and television companies."

ah?Earlier it was said that Shaw Brothers was talking about Ms. Fang, so this is actually it?
However, this effect...

"Then he sold you?"

"Otherwise? Besides, this Mr. Ma is also a smart person, and he actually intends to take advantage of it."

Shen Fang's statement is correct, the alien horse is indeed very smart.

In short, the stock of Alien Horse does not move, but you, Shen Fang, want to buy other people's.

After completing the acquisition in this way, it basically means that Shen Fang and Alien Ma will jointly control Huayi.

And that is the impact of the story between Shaw Brothers and Ms. Fang.

There is still less capital involved, and professional things are left to professional people.

Of course, on Alien Ma's side, he probably wanted to see what kind of benefits Shen Fang could bring after taking the helm of Huayi.

So, what happens after Huayi is taken down?
We talked about it before, it is the launch of Happy Twist!

　Well, don't be surprised if there are any alien-related videos on the US side recently, it's a routine operation.
