Chapter 188 Shaw's Action

In essence, Ye Zhiming and Yang Sucheng were all people, and they were both figures who started from scratch in the early 1970s, so it was not surprising that they knew each other.

But later Ye Zhiming became a little unlucky and got involved in the Taiwan authorities, and ended up losing everything.

As for what Ye Zhiming said about opening a record company in partnership, Li Xuan directly agreed, preparing to invest 1 million to account for 20% of the shares. However, Li Xuan didn't have to worry about other things about the record company, after all, he was just an ordinary shareholder.

"Happy birthday, happy birthday..."

Li Xuan and his group were singing a happy birthday song with a smile on Ye Yuqing. This birthday party was obviously a private banquet for Ye Yuqing's little girl. Even the invited people were just some people and classmates that the girl knew.

“Happy-Birthday!”

"Make a wish and blow the candle."

"Make a wish!"

"Happy birthday!"

“…”

With the turmoil among the crowd, Ye Yuqing immediately crossed her hands and closed her eyes and made a wish. After a moment of silence, she saw the little loli suddenly open her eyes, and then...

"call--"

Fourteen slightly yellow candles were blown out instantly on the birthday cake.

"Smack--"

"Aqing, what wish did you make? Let me tell me?"

"Oh! Cut the cake."

"What wish, Ah Qing?"

"Tell me, we're also very curious."

“…”

Looking at the curious eyes around him, Ye Yuqing hugged Zhong Chuhong's arm and smiled: "Since you want me to say it, then I will say it. My wish is..."

Ye Yuqing deliberately slowed down and looked around the crowd around him, then said confidently: "My wish is to be a big star like Sister Hong!"

"Wow, have ambition!"

"Oh, big star, sign me quickly, I want to collect it."

"I turned out to be a classmate of a future big star!"

"Aqing, give me a signature too."

“…”

"Ahem—!"

A sudden cough broke the jubilation of everyone. Ye Zhiming held his fist with a look of ugly expression and put his right hand down from his mouth, and said with a dry smile: "Ha, who can tell the future? Ah Qing, since you have made your wish, then cut the cake quickly."

"Brother, you..."

Ye Yuqing had just said two words, and his eyes gradually covered with a layer of mist, but he couldn't continue to say the rest.

At this time, Ye Zhiming also felt that the words just now were a little heavy, and said awkwardly: "Uh, Ah Qing, cut the cake."

Seeing that Ye Zhiming was making a happy birthday party seem to be unlucky, Li Xuan hurried to Ye Yuyuqing, patted the little girl on the shoulder and said, "Little girl, don't listen to your brother, I'll agree with your birthday wish brother Xuan!"

As soon as Li Xuan said this, Ye Yuqing immediately burst into tears and looked at him with a smile and said, "Thank you, Brother Xuan."

"No thank you, don't thank you, let's cut the cake quickly." Li Xuan pointed to the cake and said with a smile: "We have to cut less pieces later and we won't give you that stinky brother."

"Um!"

The little girl nodded and responded heavily.

"Dingdongdongdongdongdingdingdingding--"

Listening to the sound of playing the piano from the piano room, Ye Zhiming, who was empty-handed, smiled bitterly, then looked at Li Xuan and said, "Now, the little girl treats you, the god brother, better than my, the real brother."

"Ha, you're taking it yourself." Li Xuan laughed proudly, put down the cake in his hand and asked in confusion: "I'm wondering, why don't you want Ah Qing to go into this business?"

"Why!"

Ye Zhiming sighed and said helplessly: "You have seen less. The water in the film and television industry is too muddy. You can't even cleanse yourself inside."

"No, with our current abilities, I'm afraid that someone will not be able to attack Ah Qing." Li Xuan asked in confusion.

"It's not that someone is afraid of someone taking a slap, it's that someone is afraid of someone making money." Ye Zhiming sighed and said slowly: "Do you know Yang Sucheng, another partner of the record company, how many actresses he used money to smash?"

This is a big gossip! Li Xuan quickly opened his ears and asked, "How many?"

"I don't know either."

Damn! Is this Ye Zhiming cheating? Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Zhiming with an upset look on his face, "You don't know after having sex for a long time?"

"Yes." Ye Zhiming nodded and said solemnly: "It's because there are too many that I don't know anymore."

“…”

In late February 1981, a news broke out in the Hong Kong film and television industry that caused a sensation in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which instantly triggered the gossip of filmmakers from both places.

This news does not mean that "Modern Bodyguard" won another HK$3.07 million in the third week, with a record-breaking record of nearly 18 million. Even a box office of over 20 million is just around the corner.

It refers to "The Smiling Proud Wanderer", which has been hovering over 80%, after three weeks of screening, the Smiling Proud Wanderer, was cut off by the Shaw Brothers Theater in a stunning situation. Only five theaters are still screening "The Smiling Proud Wandererer" in the face of a gratifying situation.

As soon as Shaw Brothers used this move, although Li Xuan had expected it, his heart still dripped blood. What followed was the boiling excitement in various news media!

Ming Pao Morning Post wrote: "... Shaw Brothers Pictures, the 'Oriental Hollywood', is no longer as brave as it was. Whether it is the horror film "Seven Golden Corpse" co-produced by Shaw Brothers in 1973, or the film version of the novel "Grand Class" in 1976, Sir Shaw invested 60 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot the film version of the novel "The Grand Class". However, in recent years, Shaw Brothers has not only implemented the policy of "cut half" in its own film production, but also has a certain hostile attitude towards co-produced films. Whether it is "Striking" that Shaw Brothers cooperated with Rome last year, or "Swordsman" co-produced by Shaw Brothers and Xuan Yuan this year, it all confirms this. In the long run, who dares to cooperate with Shaw Brothers again?..."

As soon as this report was released, Li Xuan realized that his movie was not the first movie Shaw Brothers and Hong Kong people. While he was in a little slow, he thought about checking the box office of "Striking".

Then, there is nothing...

However, the Oriental Daily wrote mercilessly: "...Shaw Pictures' Hong Kong box office ratio has dropped from 60% in 1970 to 25% in the ten years in 1980. Shaw Pictures's large-scale studio system has gradually become lonely. Since last year, Sir Shao has intentionally begun to gradually implement reforms, began to cooperate with independent film companies, and even invited large numbers of external actors to make films. But it is obvious that Shaw Pictures has become like the decadent Qing Dynasty, and cannot be cured by a simple "Reform of 1898"..."

The words of "Oriental Daily" are so spicy, but they are not afraid of offending Shao Yifu. In addition to the same background, Shao Yifu's move to reduce the screening of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" has deeply angered a group of fans and Xu Shi's fans. Everyone has already cursed. Now Shao Yifu is too lice and is not afraid of itchy.

After Shaw Brothers won "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", he immediately released the director Xu Xia's Minchu Kung Fu movie "The North and South Lion King". With the popularity attracted by "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" some time ago, the movie actually reached 80% of the attendance on the first day of its release, which made Li Xuan speechless.

As for Princess Jin's "Happy Fairy Nest", all of them were drawn while "Swordsman" was reduced. In two weeks, it only achieved half of the first week of "Modern Bodyguard".

Lei Juekun was a little depressed when he saw the results of "Happy Fairy Nest", but Zou Wenhuai was a little depressed when he saw the results of "North and South Lion King", because the attendance rate dropped sharply to less than 40% on the second day of the release of "North and South Lion King".

"Along, how did your movie "Rat Street" look like?" Zou Wenhuai looked at Chenglong sitting opposite him and asked hesitantly in the office of Quanwei Company on the set of Jiahe Axe Mountain.

"The filming will be finished soon." Chenglong nodded and responded.

Zou Wenhuai rubbed his forehead and said slowly: "Then as soon as possible, the Kung Fu movie of the Republic of China, hey! Shaw Brothers' "North and South Lion King" is still starring Wang Yu, Luo Mang and Yang Panpan, but unfortunately the box office is... "

Unfortunately, the box office is still going to lose!

After hearing Zou Wenhuai's words, Chenglong was also secretly worried at this time. Last year, his "Junior Brother Takes Out" became the first movie in Hong Kong to have a box office of over 10 million yuan. How glorious was he at that time. But just one year later, not only did the Kung Fu movies in the Republic of China decline, but even the highest box office record of Hong Kong movies was stolen by others, and even the movie could immediately reach 20 million, a historical record that he needed to look up to.

Now, what should I do? (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
