Chapter 215 Game Game Shao Daheng

As soon as Wang Xiaohu came to the teahouse, he entered the private room on the second floor under the leadership of the waiter.

The environment in the private room is very elegant. Besides Run Run Shaw, there is also a waitress wearing a cheongsam. She is waiting to make tea with her head bowed. Such an atmosphere made Wang Xiaohu feel emotional when he just entered the room: Uncle Shao Liu knows how to enjoy life. , It's not like I'm busy all day, I don't know when I will be able to get to the point where others are.

Run Run Shaw seemed to understand the implication of Wang Xiaohu's sigh just now, put the tea on the table, glanced at him and said, "Aren't you satisfied with such achievements at such a young age? You must know that I have also worked hard for decades. Today's achievements are the only reason, you are only less than 20 years old now, and you still have a lot of youth to create a better future, sit down and taste this fine Tieguanyin."

"Uncle Six is ​​right in educating you, Xiaohu is not satisfied." Wang Xiaohu sat down obediently, but the beautiful woman in cheongsam said thank you for the tea, took a sip, put the tea on the table and looked up at Run Run Shaw. Knowing that Run Run Shaw must have a lot to say to himself.

"How about the tea?" Run Run Shaw laughed and took another cup to drink.

Wang Xiaohu's face was suddenly embarrassed. Just now he was thinking about how Run Run Shaw would speak, but he didn't pay attention to the taste of the tea, so he picked it up and took another sip. Smacking his lips, he didn't feel any difference, but it tasted a little more than clear water: " It seems to be about the same."

"Hey, you young man!" After hearing the words, Run Run Shaw waved his hand to let the cheongsam beauty back down, took up the tea set and filled Wang Xiaohu, and said, "How about this cup again?"

"What are you doing so mysteriously?" Although Wang Xiaohu was confused, he picked up the tea as he said, and when he was about to drink it, Run Run Shaw reminded him: "Take a small sip and leave it on the tip of your tongue to savor it. Hey, young people are drinking tea now. There are a few who understand the tea ceremony."

Wang Xiaohu smacked his lips: "Uncle Six, I don't have any experience with this tea ceremony, so don't be sloppy."

Run Run Shaw frowned slightly, and then he said with relief: "After all, young people like to be more direct, okay. Calling you out today is not only about drinking tea, but also listening to you about the future development prospects of Hong Kong movies."

"Uncle Liu, you are a tycoon in the Hong Kong film industry. I, a freshly baked shrimp, dare to wield a sword in front of you. In fact, I really admire Uncle Liu's investment in the TV industry."

Since Run Run Shaw has been immersed in the film industry for decades, he must have a unique vision. Wang Xiaohu dare not tell Lao You Tiao the trajectory of Hong Kong film development in the next few decades, otherwise his end will be very tragic. He is still waiting for Run Run Shaw to quit the film industry circle, and took the opportunity to gather all the resources of Shaw Brothers' theaters, so that the topic was shifted to the TV industry by referring to the circuitous front of fighting east and west.

"Oh? Are you also optimistic about the prospects of the TV industry?" Run Run Shaw was taken aback, and asked with a curious expression on his face, "You don't think I'm taking a risk?"

"Of course it's not an adventure." Wang Xiaohu drank his tea, touched his lips and said, "The television industry is developing rapidly in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, and with the prosperity of Hong Kong's economy, televisions will also become a must-have home appliance for Hong Kong citizens. There is still a lot to do in the TV industry, if it wasn't for Xiaohu's lack of funds, he would really like to share a piece of the pie with Uncle Six!"

Run Run Shaw was a little surprised by Wang Xiaohu's analysis, and was a little curious that he could see through his intentions in a short period of time: "Hehe, the tone is not small!"

"Uh, it's not a matter of tone, but of strength in front of me. I don't have the kind of squandering wealth that Uncle Six does like you!" Wang Xiaohu flattered the other party back calmly.

"Hey, when I proposed to develop the TV industry back then, many people raised objections. Wen Huai also left Shaw Brothers at that time. Now that I see your strong interest in TV, I finally feel a lot more relaxed. " Run Run Shaw sighed, which shows how much pressure he was under to launch this future hegemony plan, and at the same time let Wang Xiaohu see his dictatorial side.

It’s just that most TV stations still pay for programs now, and many families need to pay a monthly fee to watch them. Wang Xiaohu doesn’t know much about the early development of Hong Kong TV. If he is impressed, it should be after the 80s. He didn't know that these well-known classics were filmed by Hong Kong TVB TV station because of the popularity of films such as The Beach, The Condor Shooting Trilogy, and Fearless in the mainland. It was more than ten years after the mainland saw these films. It can be seen how frightening the gap in cultural exchanges is.

"How do you think TV programs should develop?" Run Run Shaw asked a question that made Wang Xiaohu dumbfounded.

The reason why this question is funny is because Wang Xiaohu didn't make much preparation, he just wanted Run Run Shaw to change the topic to TV, but he didn't expect that Run Run Shaw was so interested in TV that he asked himself such a question. "Uncle Six, you know I'm not good at TV, you should ask your think tank for this kind of question."

"Hehe, there is not much difference between TV and movies. I don't believe that you don't have any ideas about TV." Run Run Shaw didn't want to let Wang Xiaohu go, and continued: "I don't want TVB to repeat itself. Entertainment programs to increase ratings, want to shoot a few TV dramas, but lack good TV scripts, do you have a better book?"

"No!" Wang Xiaohu shook his head like a rattle. He spread his hands and said, "There is a big gap between TV scripts and movie scripts. Maybe you only need a few sheets of paper to create a movie script, because movies have limited time, but TV dramas are different. Maybe the first few episodes can't get into the theme, it's a test of the screenwriter's ability to operate!"

"So I'm looking for you. You are a screenwriter with a box office of 500 million. No, I'm wrong. You are now a screenwriter and director with a box office of 1000 million! How can I do a favor for Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu will give you the highest salary in Hong Kong!" Run Run Shaw Said to Wang Xiaohu with a smile.

"Good scripts? I have plenty of them, but I can't give them to you!" Wang Xiaohu felt a little displeased. Those good scripts were left to Ah Zhi in the future, how could you let them ruin them!But since Run Run Shaw asked, he always had to deal with it: "Why doesn't Sixth Uncle let Ni Kuang write some good scripts for you? Many of his novels, such as the Wesley series, are very good."

"No, don't you think I haven't thought about it. If you kid didn't jump out, I'd be fine with those films, but you and Bruce Lee have made four blockbuster films in less than a year, and you've blown the audience's appreciation." The level is positioned on martial arts and kung fu movies, it is a bad idea for you to ask me to shoot Wesley!" Run Run Shaw shook his head and quickly refused.

"Ugh!" Embarrassed, Wang Xiaohu hurriedly poured a cup of tea into it. Unexpectedly, his sixth uncle had already taken a fancy to Ni Kuang's novel. "What about Gu Long? I heard that Chu Yuan has a good relationship with Gu Long, and Gu Long's novels are also very suitable for martial arts TV dramas."

"Gu Long's novels are full of fantasies. Few of them can produce his kind of effect and artistic conception. It's difficult!"

"Jin Yong's?"

"Every one of his novels is very long, and it is very difficult to adapt the script!"

"Yes!" Wang Xiaohu understood now. The problem is not that the novels of these old guys are not good, but that no screenwriter dares to eat this crab. Heh heh, if you don't eat it, keep it for me. I will shoot it sooner or later. Let you regret to death!

Several suggestions came to no avail, and the atmosphere in the private room became a little awkward. Both parties realized that although each other had intentions, they were powerless.Run Run Shaw's weakness lies in the fact that few of his subordinates are willing to be optimistic about the development of TV. Wang Xiaohu's weakness lies in the fact that he does not have a large amount of funds to invest in television.So there is no point in playing with this kind of language probing. In this case, it is better to keep silent.

After a long time, the old and the young sighed and shook their heads at the same time.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"Stop talking about TV! Let's talk about serious business." After tasting the tea, Run Run Shaw's face became serious: "I want to get a share in Xiehe, please set a price!"

"What?" Wang Xiaohu's heart skipped a beat, damn it, buy shares?no way!Who doesn't know that you Sixth Uncle Shao is the lord of the monopoly, and if you become a shareholder, the Xiehe that Brother Xiaolong and I have finally established will not change its name. "No shares for sale."

"Why? You must know that Xiehe has just been established, and many aspects have not yet gained a firm foothold. Although you have a theater chain, but the scale is small, let alone the theater chain in Southeast Asia. If you agree to my shareholding, Shaw Brothers will To provide you with convenience in this regard."

"Comparatively speaking, I prefer freedom!" Wang Xiaohu said seriously: "If my sixth uncle bought shares at the same time, wouldn't it be the same as in Golden Harvest? I don't like the feeling that my destiny is in the hands of others, and I don't want I have suffered from unfair competition, since Brother Xiaolong and I jumped out of Golden Harvest, although the burden is heavy and the foundation of the company is unstable, it is better to have more development prospects!"

"Huh?" Run Run Shaw never expected Wang Xiaohu to answer like this, his face was a little embarrassed, a little displeased, and even a little angry.

Wang Xiaohu pretended not to see it, and said: "If Uncle Liu wants to continue working with Xiaohu, Xiaohu will agree with it. After all, our cooperation will benefit each other. Uncle Liu just provides help in theatrical distribution. Wouldn’t it be a better way to get an objective income?”

"And the cooperation between us will make Golden Harvest unable to react for a while. Isn't this what Uncle Liu wants to see? Besides, Shaw's current development focus is moving closer to the TV industry. I don't want to see a few After the year, the Golden Harvest family will dominate the situation, right? Why not help Xiaohu take the opportunity to gain more profits?" After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, although he had already drank several cups, he felt that the taste of this cup of tea was extraordinarily fragrant , extraordinarily flavorful.——
