Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 345 Shao Daheng's Abacus
Peninsula Hotel.
"Uncle Six, isn't the wireless busy at the end of this year? Why are you still free to find me for tea?" Sitting opposite Shao Yifu, Qiao Feng asked with a smile.
Of course he was joking. Even if he is busy drinking tea, he still has time. Besides, Shao Yifu is really not that busy. Shao Daheng still watches many movies every day. This is Shao Yifu's habit.
No matter how busy he is, he will watch a movie every day. This is a habit that he has cultivated over the decades since he was engaged in the film business. He likes to watch both good movies and bad movies. He wants to watch good movies. , How bad a bad movie is.
Shao Yifu can be said to be the man who has watched the most movies in China. This is also the reason why Shao has been able to dominate Nanyang, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia for so many years.
There is such a boss who understands movies, who is proficient in any work in the film, editing, photography, makeup, scripting, director, every kind of boss, it is no wonder that there is a saying that Shaw's production must be a boutique.
"Prison situation, Mr. Qiao made us Shaw Brothers to make a fortune again, and the time to invite Mr. Qiao for a cup of tea was also squeezed out." Shao Yifu said with a smile.
“I’m really flattered when Uncle Six said that, today this tea must be tasted well.” Qiao Feng looked very excited, took a sip of the tea cup carefully, and then closed his eyes and enjoyed the taste. Look like.
Seeing Qiao Feng's contrived manner, Shao Yifu snorted slightly. This kid was really slippery. He didn't ask him what he was looking for.
Qiao Feng closed his eyes and did a treat, but thought in his heart that if you didn't tell me what the purpose was, then let's just use it.
"The box office of Prison Situation was good beyond my expectation. I have to say that it is more profitable to cooperate with Mr. Qiao. I hope Mr. Qiao can think of us more in future cooperation opportunities like this." Shao Yifu will not be ambiguous, and go straight to the topic.
"Huh?" Qiao Feng was stunned when he heard this: "Uncle Six, that's not right, you have already decided to stop Shaw's business. Didn't this prison situation say that you have closed your course?"
No wonder Qiao Feng was surprised. Anyone in the film industry was surprised to hear this, because almost everyone knew about Shaw’s suspension of production. Shaw had almost sacked employees, and the rest was barely able to gather together. A film crew, and the dismissal of employees started two years ago, which was earlier than the time when the theater was sold.
It’s been almost three years, and it’s been the way it is now. The entire company is almost empty. Either it’s gone or it’s merged with TVB. How can this situation continue? What else can we talk about in the future? Thing.
"Hehe, I originally decided to end Shaw Brothers' business completely. After all, the scenes filmed in the first two years basically didn’t make money, or even lost money. It’s meaningless to continue. Yihua always persuades me to put my energy into it. Wireless, I’m going to turn off Shaw Brothers. But I’m really reluctant to bear it. My brothers started making movies and started anew from the decline of the family in the 1920s. The Shaw brothers are my Nothing has been established. It has been 30 years now, and the relationship of 30 years has been shut down and left." Shao Yifu's eyes are full of memories and sigh.
Qiao Feng also nodded, really reluctant. After all, a man has made movies for most of his life. It can be said that movies are everything to him. How can he be willing? Just like Qiu Degen, he has become one of the ten richest people in Hong Kong. But isn't it the same film and television industry that can't afford to make a fortune? It bought ATV at this age.
"I can't bear it. Shaw's previous structure was too bloated, the staff was huge, and the filming was not profitable. It is better not to do this business, so I decided to close him, and even sold the theater to Mr. Qiao you." Shao Yifu laughed Looking at Qiao Feng and said.
"Speaking of this, I really want to thank Uncle Liu for selling me the theater, instead of renting it to Pan Disheng, who has a higher price. Otherwise, Pan Disheng with the theater will definitely not be what it is now." Qiao Feng expressed his sincere thanks.
Shao Yifu nodded secretly for Qiao Feng’s thanks,
"That's a business. Mr. Qiao doesn't need to thank you. The money you gave is in line with the value of the theater, so I sell it to you. There is nothing to thank." Shao Yifu smiled and waved his hand.
Qiao Feng smiled and nodded. Shao Yifu is also satisfied with this attitude. If Shao Yifu looks like you are showing my love, then Qiao Feng's heart will definitely be unhappy.
"So what is Uncle Six's plan now? Is Shaw to recruit people again and film again?" Qiao Feng asked.
"No, I originally wanted to stop Shaw’s business just like that, but the prison situation made me find that it’s good to keep Shaw in another way. Now Shaw still has the best filming team. These people are enough to make a movie. I think you will write the script in the future. I will pay the shooting funds here, the shooting team, and you will add some other people. In the end, we will divide the account by five to five. It should be pretty good for us to cooperate in this way. Right." Shao Yifu said his thoughts.
Qiao Feng understands that Shao Yifu doesn’t want to turn off Shaw Brothers, but he doesn’t want to engage in a large-scale studio system like before, and he doesn’t even want to raise a large number of staff. It's like taking Shaw Brothers to the extreme scale. Drive on.
To put it bluntly, Shaw Yifu is going to turn Shaw into a small independent production company, but this independent production company has the largest film library in Hong Kong and even the Chinese film industry.
Shao Yifu was just looking at the profitability of cooperating with Qiao Feng to make a film, and he was really reluctant to give up the film, so he cooperated with Qiao Feng in this way. In fact, in addition to the so-called filming team, Shao Yifu is equivalent to an investor. Qiao Feng’s movie, and then Qiao Feng uses the script as an asset investment, and both parties will shoot them manually, and finally divide the accounts according to the proportion. And Shaw’s filming team does not need to watch Qiao Feng’s meaning, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t.
I don’t want the previous collaboration between Qiao Feng and Shaw Brothers. Qiao Feng has always produced the script, and after recommending a few actors, Qiao Feng will ignore it, and just wait to earn points after the screening.
If we cooperate in this way, it means that the relationship between Qiao Feng and Shao Yifu has dropped a lot from the previous cooperation.
Now Shao Yifu just invests money, and then nothing else, just wait for the final split.
It’s just that it’s a five-to-five split. It seems that Shao Yifu has suffered a bit.
Qiao Feng looked at Shao Yifu suspiciously. He didn't think Shao Yifu would do such a seemingly loss-making business because it was not Shao Yifu.
"If Mr. Joe agrees to cooperate in this way, I hope to buy back 30% of the theater chain shares for protection."
