The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 136
Regarding the olive branch offered by Golden Harvest, Shao Yifu decided to accept it after pondering for a moment, and invited Zou Wenhuai to enjoy the moon in his mid-level villa on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

"Sixth brother, what is Zou Wenhuai's plan? How come he wants to come back to see you after going out for a few years?" Fang Yihua asked suspiciously.

"In my opinion, he can't hold it anymore." Shao Yifu said, "The investment of tens of millions of dollars in "Blood in Holland" has less than [-]% of its return. If the box office in North America is not high, it is very likely that the loss will go bankrupt. "

"That's not the case. Bruce Lee's movies sold well in those years. Golden Harvest must be very rich. And he also released a lot of movies this year. Although they didn't sell big at the box office, they made a lot of money." Fang Yihua After pondering, "Isn't it going to be dragged down by a movie?"

"It's hard to say. Although he made some money, he spent a lot on buying theaters and renting studios." Shao Yifu calculated, "If this "Blood in Holland" can't make back its original cost, Golden Harvest will be hurt. Bone-shattering, at least two or three years can't be slowed down."

"Then what he wants to see you is to ask you to help him?" Fang Yihua suddenly felt a little funny.

As a rebel general of the Shaw Brothers, his development is not good outside, and if he asks his old club for help, he doesn't know what they think.

"No, they probably want to cooperate with me to fight against the Xu family." Shao Yifu said.

"Xu's?! They really got off to a good start this year. Both movies have achieved high box office, and they were well-received!" Fang Yihua praised. It's all going to be broken."

"That Xu Guanwu is a talent. Lei Meng and I have wanted to enter Hollywood for a long time, but except for Bruce Lee, no one has succeeded. I didn't expect that he could easily earn hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office..." Shao Yifu sighed. Qianlang, one generation is stronger than one generation!"

"Brother Six, you are the God of Dinghai, no matter how big the waves are, you can't overwhelm you." Fang Yihua laughed, "Mr.

"Dinghaishenzhen?! I'm also afraid of the fledgling Monkey King." Shao Yifu also said helplessly.

Originally thought that after Cathay Pacific closed, the Shaw Brothers would be the only one in Hong Kong.

Unexpectedly, Cathay Pacific secretly supported Zou Wenhuai, the rebel general of the Shaw Brothers, and the newly established Golden Harvest was once able to fight against the Shaw Brothers with the help of Bruce Lee.

Bruce Lee passed away suddenly, and Jiahe was already in turmoil, but he didn't expect that Xu Guanwen would come out halfway and carry the banner of Jiahe again.

After Xu Guanwen left Golden Harvest, he set up his own theater chain. He originally thought that Zhang Daji would be closed within a few months.Who would have thought that Xu Guanwu made hundreds of millions of dollars in the United States.

Not only was the Xu family not dragged down, but it was even more powerful, growing rapidly, surpassing its old club Golden Harvest at one point in momentum and approaching Shaw's dominance.

Thinking of Xu's series of acquisitions, mergers, poaching, school building, funding and other actions last year, Shao Yifu felt uneasy.

When the Shaw Brothers were dominant, the Hong Kong film industry was like fish in a pond, calm and rigid; the establishment of Golden Harvest was like throwing a catfish into the fish pond, which quickly disrupted the entire market and broke the tranquility of the fish pond. Let the fish pond add a bit of vitality.

But the establishment of the Xu family is like throwing a dragon into a fish pond.Although the dragon is small, it is not suitable for a fish pond. It will either fly to the sky one day and roam around in the nine heavens and ten places; or it will eat all the fish and occupy the entire pond.

……

The fifteenth month of the first month is round.

Villa in the mid-levels of Taiping Mountain, Sir Shao's Mansion.

Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Cai Changyong, and Liang Feng, the rebel generals of the Shaw clan, came to this villa again after several years.

The full moon is still the same, the villa is still the same, but the people are a few years older, and their eyes meet each other, and they can't help feeling a little bit emotional.

"Sixth Brother, I wish you New Year's greetings." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.

"Raymond, I also wish you a happy new year." Shao Yifu also smiled, without a trace of displeasure on his face.

"Brother Six, I remember that everyone would come to your villa for a few drinks at this time. Once Achang got drunk and planned to jump into the swimming pool to catch the moon." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile. I thought it was the same as what happened yesterday, and I remembered it when I saw this swimming pool."

"Yes, third sister, give Achang the bottle of 28-year-old Lafite. I remember that year's red wine he likes to drink the most." Shao Yifu ordered.

"Sixth brother, thank you for remembering my hobbies." He Guanchang couldn't help feeling a little moved, "I haven't seen you for a few years, sixth brother, you have become more and more immortal."

"In the past few years, I have hired a qigong master, and I practice qigong for half an hour every day." Shao Yifu said with a smile, "After practicing, my ears and eyes are clearer, and my mind is clearer than before. Raymond, if you are interested, let him pass it on to you another day." Several sets."

"Then thank you Sixth Brother." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile, "The past two years have been entangled in mundane affairs, and I didn't take care of my body. Now I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Money can never be earned, but your body is your own." Shao Yifu said with a smile, "You still have to take good care of it when you have time."

"What Sixth Brother said is true." Zou Wenhuai also laughed.

A few people sat there and chatted for more than two hours, all talking about the previous time at Shaw Brothers, nothing else was involved at all.

Leaving the Banshan Villa, He Guanchang asked Zou Wenhuai, "Raymond, do you think Brother Six can agree to our proposal?"

"Should be able to, I'm 80.00% sure." Zou Wenhuai said, "Although Sixth Brother is nearly seventy years old, he is not confused. Xu's rise is imminent. If we don't unite with us, we will suppress him together. After the success of the incident, neither of our two companies will survive."

"Why is this so? No matter how powerful the Xu family is, it's impossible to drive us away." Liang Feng said disdainfully, "Didn't we smash their theaters into a sieve last year?"

"Last year was last year. Last year, there were only a few dozen people in the Xu family, and they only made two or three films a year. This year, there were hundreds of people, and they started shooting five or six films at the same time." Cai Changyong explained, "Now the Xu family has no foundation. It has already been built, if it is not suppressed, it will turn into a dragon and fly straight into the sky when encountering storms."

"What is Fengyun, what is Hualong, A Cai, you can edit better than me as a magazine editor." Liang Feng laughed.

"A Cai is right. The Xu family recruited troops last year and has accumulated a certain amount of influence. And I heard that he is going to open a performing arts school to train professional film talents." He Guanchang said, "If there is no big plan, why bother?" Do so much work?"

"Tossing about so many things, and I don't know what the picture is?" Liang Feng couldn't help complaining, "If I had so much money, I would rather go into real estate. The five tiger generals of Chinese real estate, taking advantage of this stock market disaster, don't know how much they have made. Money. More than we make a hundred movies."

"So this person behaves strangely, and I can't even understand what he is doing." Cai Changyong sighed, "Investing in the construction of a performing arts school can be regarded as attracting talents for himself. But subsidizing the production of niche films is also specially designed for it. I can’t understand a theater line.”

"This person has huge plans, and he is not a thing in the pool at all." Zou Wenhuai sighed, "If we and the Shaw Brothers can't bring it down, sooner or later, it will kill us."
