Chapter 259 Shaw Brothers Swimming
"...Everyone knows that the TV station behind me has been established for 25 years and is the first TV station in Hong Kong and even in the Chinese region. This TV station has left too many unforgettable classics and memories for Hong Kong citizens. As a member of Hong Kong and a newcomer to the television industry, I feel really nervous when I take over such a TV station with a glorious history..."
Li Xuan felt a little embarrassed when he looked at Qiu Degeng standing at the gate of ATV, and he was not the only one who felt this way. The stars, reporters, onlookers, political officials and those tycoons all felt a little embarrassed.
Asian TV, a very domineering name!
But……
Qiu Degeng, why did you change the logo of your Far East Group and use it?
A square-shining gold hole round money is hanging on the exterior wall of the ATV Building, and the location that should have been written with "XXX Tongbao" was replaced with "Asian TV". Many people in Hong Kong are familiar with this logo. It is the logo of the Far East Group, but the one in the Far East Group says "Far East Development".
Such a very local Taiwanese flag has brought ATV's level down by a rank. Didn't you see that Shao Yifu's face is full of smiles?
"Boss Qiu, may I ask Li, does ATV have any development plans next?"
"Sir Shao, what do you think of ATV?"
"Mr. Qiu, why did you spend a lot of money to buy Lishi?"
"Boss Qiu, will you mobilize the funds of Far East Group to support ATV?"
“…”
There were suddenly a messy questioning sounds at the scene, but Qiu Degeng held a press conference now. However, the old man only smiled and took the time to answer twice, then waved his hand and walked into the ATV Building. Then everyone turned to the Western Restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel to attend the celebration banquet held by ATV.
"Mr. Li. Thank you so much this time!" Chen Baisheng walked to Li Xuan with a glass of wine and said with gratitude.
"Ha, there is no need to thank me. Your rich man is Mr. Qiu." Li Xuan teased and asked, "By the way, how are your golden statues ready?"
"It's almost done, I'll wait for the live broadcast in half a month." Chen Baisheng said nervously.
Li Xuan smiled and said, "Then I wish Mr. Chen the Golden Horse Awards better and better!"
"Thank you!" Chen Bosheng thanked him and suddenly said hesitantly: "Mr. Li, I have a reluctant request. I hope you don't see you."
"Oh?" Li Xuan asked in confusion: "What's the matter? Bai Sheng, just say it."
Chen Bosheng hesitated for a moment and said, "This, Mr. Li, I wonder if I can invite you to be the guest performing at our Academy Awards?"
“…”
Li Xuan was slightly stunned, then pointed to the stars who were walking around the banquet venue in confusion and said, "No, Bai Sheng, don't tell me that no one from ATV is so big, no one will show you."
"No, ATV has a lot of programs this time, but..." Chen Baisheng said hesitantly: "But the weight is not very enough. You know, although Boss Qiu also provided funds, it is not a lot. We are really stretched to perform guests."
"Forehead……"
Li Xuan was slightly stunned. With the influence of the Academy Awards, there are really few famous singers who are willing to run away in vain. After pondering for a while, he slowly said: "Yes, but I hope I can perform a chorus then."
"Chorus?" Chen Bosheng asked in confusion.
"Yes." Li Xuan nodded and responded: "I have recently joined a record company and I'm fine to train a few singers. As for the song performances of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", don't worry, I'll talk to Xu Shujie."
“…”
Li Xuan sent Chen Bosheng away, who was full of confusion, and then patrolled everywhere with a glass of wine. As for Zhong Chuhong, he had long been familiar with a group of actresses at ATV. He was crowded together and didn't know what to talk about. Needless to say, Zhong Chuhong's popularity is much better than Li Xuan.
Suddenly, Li Xuan's eyes froze slightly!
Because he saw Zhang Guorong sitting alone in the corner of the banquet hall, his lonely figure seemed out of place with the entire lively banquet hall, and it seemed particularly abrupt.
Zhang Guorong is having a headache now. He should have been happy with two record companies robbing him, but now it has become his heart disease.
These two record companies have their own advantages and disadvantages, which makes it difficult for him to make a choice.
Although a record company is still very small and has no artists, it is backed by Li Xuan, a new film genius. Moreover, the record company has also proposed the conditions to invest tens of millions of movies in the past, which is a great temptation for him, who is determined to enter the big screen.
Another record company itself is even more powerful and has all the resources of the TVB station to use. And he just now had a master's wife, the woman who just got married to his music teacher Li Xiaotian this year is Guan Juying.
People may not be very familiar with this woman now, but many people must have watched "The Palace Scheme" that has become popular in mainland China. The Ruan Cuiyun and Ruan Sizhi are played by Guan Juying. She is not only a contracted actor of the TVB, but also a top singer of TVB, and has sung a lot of film and television songs.
Li Xiaotian was thinking about going to Huaxing, but it was because of this pillow phoenix.
Shaw Brothers Pictures, which is just a compatriot with Wireless, has disappointed Zhang Guorong. If he went to Huaxing, the time for entering the big screen would have been delayed by several years.
Singing and movies, interest and teacher’s kindness, these two multiple-choice questions have troubled him for months.
"Guorong, why are you sitting here alone? You can't get up and take a walk."
A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Zhang Guorong looked up and sat up straight and said, "Mr. Li, um, hello."
"I'm fine!" Li Xuan smiled and sat down, looking at Zhang Guorong and said with a smile: "It's just that you don't look very good."
“…”
Looking at Zhang Guorong who was silent, Li Xuan asked with a smile: "Why, are you still worried about which record company you go to?"
"Mr. Li, you..." Zhang Guorong spoke, but immediately became speechless again.
"Haha." Li Xuan patted Zhang Guorong on the shoulder and continued: "If you really can't make up your mind now, then wait for about half a month to see."
"Half a month?" Zhang Guorong asked in confusion.
"Yeah!" Li Xuan looked at the crowded banquet hall and said, "In half a month, I will have a movie and a record collection to be launched. You can check my results before making a decision."
“Record collection?”
Li Xuan stood up, picked up his wine glass and said, "I just signed a female singer from Taiwan, so I will try to train it first. Guorong, I hope you can get your idea before August!"
"call--"
Zhang Guorong let out a long sigh, then looked up at Li Xuan and said, "Then I will wait half a month later to watch your performance, Mr. Li."
"Welcome to review!"
Li Xuan chuckled softly, raised his glass and drank it all.
Three days after ATV's unveiling, the summer film battle in 1982 officially started. Unlike last year, Jiahe did not make a move until July, because this year it focuses on the Hong Kong film market, Jiahe Cinemas is very tight, so Jiahe took the lead this time.
On June 15, "Qimen Dunjia" jointly invested by Jiahe and Peace was first released, but the box office on the first day was 720,000 Hong Kong dollars. Judging from this result, the performance was only average in the Hong Kong summer season. Whether the total box office can exceed 7 million is a question.
However, what surprised others was that Princess Jin did not release her summer movie at this time, but released "Dragon Ninja" which was solely filmed by Siyuan Pictures. As a result, "Dragon Ninja" also won a box office of 680,000 on the first day, and the two movies were tied on the first day.
As for Shaw Brothers, um, it's still making soy sauce...
