Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

v1 Chapter 374: bitter fruit

Shao Yifu looked at Xu Cun and said, "A Cun, how about I sell you the 200 million Hong Kong dollars of the Shaw Cinemas?"

Xu Cun didn't believe that Shao Yifu, the iron rooster, took the initiative to drive down the price of Shaw's cinemas so low that there would be no other conditions! Therefore, Xu Cun said bluntly: "Uncle Six, please tell us your additional conditions."

After hearing what Xu Cun said, a trace of pain immediately appeared on Shao Yifu's face!

After pondering for a while, Shao Yifu said: "The fire in TVB City destroyed TVB's three hundred and seventy-two long dramas... Those long dramas carry the memories of countless people in Hong Kong, including me, if those long dramas It's such a shame that it's all gone forever!"

After a pause, Shao Yifu looked at Xu Cun and said, "I want to work with you to remake thirty of those long dramas."

Immediately, Shao Yifu added: "Remake thirty of those long dramas with the original crew."

After Shao Yifu finished speaking, Xu Cun said, "Including the two theaters you rented, Uncle Six, how about I give you 240 million Hong Kong dollars for the Shaw Cinemas?"

For Xu Cun, the remake of TVB's classic TV series has all the harm and no benefit!

First of all, it is difficult to remake those classic TV series with the original cast. Many of the actors who made those classic TV series have now turned into movie actors. Some of these actors only earned HK$1,000 or HK$2,000 per TV series when they were filming classic TV dramas, but now they can earn HK$10,000 or HK$200,000 or more for one movie. The question is, under such circumstances, how could they easily get them to remake TVB's classic TV series? The most typical example is Zhou Runfa. Zhou Runfa's current salary has reached 4 million Hong Kong dollars for a movie, and the film contract is continuous. How can it be easy to get Zhou Runfa to remake TVB's classic TV series?

Secondly, people have nostalgic feelings, especially those in G, Xu Cun is sure that as long as TVB can re-shoot those classic TV series, they will definitely be able to draw back a lot of audiences! Xu Cunfang was too late for this matter, so how could he reach out to help?

Shao Yifu looked at Xu Cun and said, "One hundred and eighty million Hong Kong dollars, all of Shaw's cinemas will belong to you. You and I each bear half of the production fee. When the TV series is produced, you and I will own half of the copyright."

After a pause, Shao Yifu said again: "The 100 million Hong Kong dollars I gave you on the Shaw Cinema Line, even if it's not enough for the production fee from your side, it's almost the same."

Immediately, Shao Yifu said with confidence: "If those TV dramas want to see the light of day again, only you and I can work together. If not, I can't be old enough not to discuss this matter with you."

The 20 million Hong Kong dollars offered by Shao Yifu was not attractive to Xu Cun, but the copyright of those classic TV series was what Xu Cun wanted.

but-

Although Xu Cun wants the copyright of those TVB classic TV series, Xu Cun will not release the tiger from TVB for the copyright of those classic TV series!

Therefore, Xu Cun said without hesitation: "According to what you said, Uncle Six, 280 million Hong Kong dollars."

"Hey!"

Shao Yifu sighed in his heart: "No wonder he can achieve today's achievements!" - The conditions proposed by Shao Yifu are not unattractive! If it were an ordinary person, even people like Zhou Liang Shuyi and Xu Xiaoming would definitely agree, or at least hesitate, but Xu Cun refused without even thinking about it.

Later, Shao Yifu took out the bottom line in his heart: "160 million Hong Kong dollars, you and I each pay half of the production fee, the TV drama is produced, the copyright belongs to you, and TVB only needs the permanent right to use." Then, Shao Yifu hid The eyes behind the glasses narrowed slightly and threatened Xu Cun: "A Cun, if you still refuse to agree, you will pay 400 million Hong Kong dollars, and I will never sell you the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, and I will sell Shaw Brothers tomorrow. The cinema is rented to Pan Xiaozi at a low price, and Pan Xiaozi keeps making trouble for you!"

Immediately afterwards, Shao Yifu calmed down and said again: "After all, I helped you in the release of "Happy Ghost" and "Mr. Zombie". With your current status as A Cun, this kind of favor should always be returned. Give it to me... As long as you promise to help me remake 30 TVB dramas, all the grievances between us will be written off, how?"

When he said the word 'resentment', Shao Yifu deliberately added emphasis - Shao Yifu was telling Xu Cun: "As long as you promise to help me remake 30 TVB dramas, you will dig TVB corners and set fire to TVB. The city's affairs have also been turned over."

Shao Yifu was both a lure and coercion, and he also took out the favors Xu Cun owed him back then, and he didn't even hold a grudge against Xu Cun for digging a corner of TVB and setting fire to TVB City (Xu Cun knew in his heart that not holding grudges must be a superficial phenomenon, You must not slack off.), so strong that your mind can't stand it anymore!

After pondering for a while, Xu Cuncai said with a wry smile: "Uncle Six, I sincerely hope that we can live in peace in the future!"

This sentence came from Xu Cun's heart - in order to achieve his goal, Shao Yifu almost has no bottom line! Xu Cun saves others by himself, and believes that an opponent without a bottom line is the most terrifying opponent! Therefore, if it is possible, Xu Cun really doesn't want to fight with Shao Yifu, who can bend and stretch!

"Big event! Sir Shaw sold the Shaw Cinemas to Mr. Xu Cunxu for HK$160 million, and the DreamWorks Cinemas expanded from eleven theaters and cinemas to twenty-three, becoming the No. 1 in Hong Kong. A great theater!"

"Reminiscence of the classics! TVB and Phoenix will remake 30 TVB classic TV series that were burned down in the TVB City fire with the original crew. Now we will ask the people of Hong Kong for their opinions on which 30 TVB classic TV series to shoot. Consultation method : Starting from tomorrow, there will be a voting column on the entertainment pages of Ta Kung Pao, Wen Wei Po, and Industry and Commerce Daily. As long as the audience cuts out the voting column and writes down their favorite TVB dramas and votes, send them to TVB or Phoenix Terrace is enough. (Note: One name per ticket, more than one name will be invalid.)”

"TVB and Phoenix TV suing the fire brigade for negligence and causing huge losses to themselves will be held in court on the 7th of next month."

"…"

Due to the agreement reached between Xu Cun and Shao Yifu, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com Recently, Xu Cun, Shao Yifu, Phoenix TV, and TVB have dominated the headlines of major newspapers.

In this trend, although Xu Cun has been praised by all parties for his high style, in fact, Xu Cun and his Phoenix TV played the role of green leaves in this trend, and the role of red flowers in this trend is Shao Yifu is TVB.

As Xu Cun expected, the remake of TVB's classic TV series will completely revitalize TVB's dying TVB - although it has not been broadcast yet, and has not even officially started filming those TVB's classic TV series, but this series produced by Shao Yifu alone The hype has caused TVB's ratings to pick up quite a bit (currently, the ratings ratio between Phoenix and TVB has changed from about 7 to 3 in the past to about 6.8 to 3.2.) It is conceivable that, After those classic TV dramas that can resonate with people in Hong Kong are broadcast, TVB's ratings will definitely rebound significantly. Even if Phoenix TV also broadcasts those classic TV series together, it will not change this.

In this regard, in addition to forcibly pulling Shao Yifu and TVB into the chariot of the mainland to make Shao Yifu and TVB lose the support of the pro-British elements, all Xu Cun can do is hold his nose and eat the bitter fruit he planted with his own hands. .
