Chapter 264 The Decline of Hong Kong Movies (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

   It's not that the other party deliberately manipulated it. The key is that the other party is currently attending a medical conference in Italy.

Call up?

   Can fight!

   But that side won't necessarily come back!

  So the doctor simply said no!

   Again, in Hong Kong in 1973, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was not established, and the society in Hong Kong was like this, and it was like this in all walks of life.

  As for the benevolent people in Hong Kong films, we have to wait!

  Mother Zhao panicked when she got the doctor's answer, and hurriedly continued to beg the other party, but the other party obviously saw this kind of thing too much.

   "Your husband's condition is fine, and he's recuperating for a while. Although the risk of surgery will be higher then, it should be fine, so it's useless for you to beg me here now!"

   Faced with such an answer, it was impossible for Zhao Yazhi and her daughter to just let it go, so they continued to beg.

   It turned out that Lin Qingxia, who was an outsider, gritted her teeth after seeing such a situation, turned around and left the corridor, came to the hospital lobby, and used the public phone here to call a number!

  When Lin Qingxia returned to the corridor after making the phone call, she saw that Zhao Yazhi's mother and daughter were no longer in the corridor, but Zhao's mother's voice came from the doctor's office next door.

   Obviously, the two mothers and daughters have come to the doctor's office to beg Qi.

   "What's the matter with you two? Didn't I already tell you? Dr. Lu won't be back in a few days? When he comes back, he will naturally perform surgery on you!"

  The doctor called Dr. Qi by Zhao's mother was already showing some impatience.

  Mother Zhao continued to beg: "Doctor Qi, please call Dr. Lu, maybe the other party really has an idea to return to Xiangjiang early?"

  Whether it is the hometown or Xiangjiang, under the illness, the performance of the patient's family members is the same.

   At this time, they can only beg the doctor.

  Of course, after the establishment of the ICAC, no matter what the Hong Kong government’s original intention of establishing them is, this department has indeed severely cracked down on the common practice of TW in all walks of life in Hong Kong, which has also indirectly improved the medical treatment environment of Xiangjiang Hospital.

  But that’s all for the future, and the hospital in Xiangjiang is also doing this now.

  Dr. Qi really couldn't resist Zhao's mother's request for help, so he pretended to make a phone call, and then said with the phone: "You heard it too, there is no one answering there!"

  Mother Zhao and Zhao Yazhi walked out helplessly.

  Dr. Qi closed the door of his office in dissatisfaction.

  The little secretary next to him asked curiously: "Dr. Qi, did you really call Dr. Lu?"

"What are you thinking about!" Dr. Qi said triumphantly, "Calling Dr. Lu at this time, isn't it just looking for scolding? I called the logistics office. The guys in the logistics must be here at this point." Fishing!"

   "Dr. Qi is still smart!" The little nurse praised.

   Then he said curiously: "But I just saw that the two girls who came behind seem to be movie stars Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia!"

  Dr. Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Really? I never watch Xiangjiang movies."

  The little nurse laughed and said, "It's still Dr. Qi who appreciates you!"

  The two chatted happily, but outside Zhao's mother and Zhao Yazhi turned around in a hurry.

  Seeing this, Lin Qingxia hurriedly comforted Zhao Yazhi and said, "Azhi, don't worry too much, Uncle Zhao is auspicious, there will definitely be no problem!"

  Zhao Yazhi looked sad, obviously Lin Qingxia's consolation did not have any effect.

   "By the way, let's go and see how uncle is doing first!"

  Seeing this, Lin Qingxia could only preach in this way.

  When she called just now, she just said that she knew about it, and didn't say much, which made Lin Qingxia a little uncertain for a while, so she didn't tell Zhao Yazhi.

Reminded by Lin Qingxia, Zhao's mother and Zhao Yazhi hurried to the ward where Zhao's father was, because Zhao's father lost all their savings in the stock market before, and now they can only live in a multi-person ward Inside.

  Zhao Yazhi's brother and sister are taking care of Zhao's father in the ward at this time.

  Seeing Zhao Yazhi and others walking in, he quickly asked how things were going.

  Hearing that the doctor who can perform the surgery will have to wait a few days to come, several people suddenly showed worried expressions.

  They have never encountered such a thing, and they naturally don't know what to do for a while.

  Someone will say, if it doesn’t work, transfer to another hospital!

  After a while, someone said, what if there is no way to transfer to another hospital?

  Some people also said that the doctor explained that if he was transferred to another hospital, his condition might worsen, and the gain would outweigh the harm.

   Just like this family, they fell into all kinds of panic and overwhelmed emotions.

  Dengdengdeng!

It was under such circumstances that Dr. Qi, who had been arrogant just now, suddenly appeared, and beside him was a doctor in his forties who was wearing a doctor's uniform. Dr. Qi followed behind him, The respectful attitude is like the little **** next to the emperor.

   Not only that, there are other doctors and nurses by their side.

   Seeing such a situation, everyone in the ward showed puzzled expressions.

  The middle-aged doctor looked around the ward and asked aloud, "Is that Miss Zhao Yazhi?"

  Zhao Yazhi hurriedly stood up and said, "I am!"

The middle-aged doctor said with a smile on his face: "Hello, I have already inquired about your father's condition just now. The problem is not too big. I will arrange the operating room to perform the operation on your father. You can rest assured and wait outside." Already!"

  Zhao Yazhi was stunned on the spot, and Zhao Yazhi's family was also stunned, wondering what was going on at the scene?

  Dr. Qi stepped forward at this time and said: "This is Dr. Li Jiantai from Li Jiantai Medical Clinic. He is the authority on your father's disease. He will perform the operation on your father, so don't worry!"

In Xiangjiang, it is different from my hometown. The situation in my hometown is that all the well-known and authoritative doctors are mostly concentrated in the top three hospitals in big cities, while in Xiangjiang, the doctors in public hospitals are the lowest level. He is an intern doctor who just entered the hospital from university, and the conditions in private hospitals are better, there are experts, and the hospital where Zhao's father is now is a private hospital.

  But the doctors who are really authoritative in Xiangjiang all have their own personal clinics, and they sign a cooperative relationship with the hospital. What's more, most of them are private doctors of rich people in Xiangjiang.

  Li Jiantai is an expert on Zhao's father's condition!

  Hearing what Dr. Qi said, Zhao Yazhi's family suddenly showed excitement, and they didn't expect things to turn around.

  But at this time, they didn't have time to think about it, so they could only express their gratitude to Dr. Li Jiantai in a hurry.

  Dr. Li Jiantai talked with Zhao Yazhi's family about the condition in a pleasant manner, and then went to prepare, saying that a nurse would come and push Zhao's father to the operating room.

   In half an hour!

  Zhao Yazhi's family is already waiting outside the operating room.

   Zhao Yazhi saw Lin Qingxia who was sitting not far away at this time, got up and walked over.

   "Axia, did you help find Dr. Li Jiantai?"

  Their own family situation, I know, no one knows this doctor Li Jiantai, and just now their family is worried about Zhao's father, no one can make this phone call at all!

  Lin Qingxia smiled and said, "I didn't invite it, but I know who invited it!"

  Zhao Yazhi's expression changed, and she immediately understood: "Brother Huan?"

  At this time, apart from Chu Huan, Zhao Yazhi couldn't think of anyone else around her who had this energy.

Lin Qingxia nodded happily and said, "That's right, it's Brother Huan. I saw that Dr. Qi was so nasty just now, so I couldn't help calling Brother Huan. After Brother Huan listened to it, he said he knew it. I didn't expect Brother Huan to be so powerful, and he found Dr. Li Jiantai so quickly."

  Zhao Yazhi touched Lin Qingxia's hand and said, "Axia, thank you so much for this incident!"

  Lin Qingxia smiled and said: "Thank you for what I did, Brother Huan is helping!"

  Zhao Yazhi's expression flickered, this was the second time Chu Huan had helped her, and she really didn't know how to repay Chu Huan.

  Zhao Yazhi was thinking about how to repay Chu Huan, and she was having a drink with Shao Yifu, Shangguan Wei, Gu Long and others at this time.

   However, it is obviously impossible for Shao Yifu to drink with Chu Huan and others. Although he has lived a long time, he is indeed not young now.

  Chu Huan and the others didn't care about Shao Yifu's situation.

   And Shao Yifu himself understood his own affairs, and he came this time mainly to thank Shangguan for his help on Taiwan Island.

  After expressing my meaning, I got up and said goodbye!

   "Mr. Shangguan, thank you again for the matter of Taiwan Island. When you leave Xiangjiang, I will definitely send you a generous gift!"

   Before leaving, Shao Yifu expressed his thanks again to Shangguan.

   "Mr. Shao is too polite. Since A Huan took the initiative to call me on this matter, I will naturally help!" Shangguan still sent this favor to Chu Huan.

  Shao Yifu somewhat laments Chu Huan's way of making friends. Although his relationships are relationships, everyone values ​​their interests. However, Shao Yifu has not seen such a situation for many years.

  Maybe he also had such friends when he was young, but now Shao Yifu can’t remember the names of these friends!

   Putting away the sigh in his heart, Shao Yifu expressed his thanks to Chu Huan again, then turned and left!

   After Shao Yifu left, there was no longer any restraint here, and Gu Long shouted happily.

   "It's finally gone, we can always let go of drinking this time!"

   After speaking, he immediately got up and opened the foreign wine worth tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars on the table one by one.

  Chu Huan and Shangguan Kai looked at each other and smiled wryly when they saw this.

  However, Chu Huan still had his own way. He got up and went out to call Ma Jizu, telling him to find Huang Zhan and Ni Wei immediately.

   Ma Jizu didn't hesitate to call these two people immediately!

Not long after, the two came to the hotel, not only the two of them, but also a tall and thin man beside them, Chu Huan recognized each other at a glance, a gourmet in Xiangjiang, one of the four great talents, Cai appendix!

   Three of the four great talents in Xiangjiang have come!

  Chu Huan didn't care about such a shortcoming at all, on the contrary, he was a little happy. He really felt that such an occasion was not suitable for Jin Yong, just like Shao Yifu just now!

  Everyone is old friends. Even though Chu Huan met Cai Lan for the first time, he quickly became acquainted with Cai Lan because of his humor.

  At this time, Cai Lan is working as the producer of Shaw Brothers, and Cai Lan's father and Shao Yifu are also friends for many years!

  With the addition of the three of them, the pressure on Chu Huan and Shangguan Wei was reduced a lot.

  Gu Long is crazy about people, the more people there are, the happier he is.

  After drinking two bottles of wine, he immediately asked Chu Huan about Li Xiaolong. The last time Li Xiaolong performed very badly at the wine table, Gu Long said that he would show Li Xiaolong how to drink.

   Now it is late July, the Li Xiaolong incident that shocked Xiangjiang has not happened!

   That is to say, Li Xiaolong's life is already different from another time and space.

   At the same time, "The Way of the Dragon" has been screened in Xiangjiang!

Unfortunately, the sensation caused by this movie in Xiangjiang is far less than that of Li Xiaolong's previous films. Although Li Xiaolong and others have known for a long time that the bigger market for this movie is the European and American markets, the reaction of the Xiangjiang market still makes Li Xiaolong feel Dissatisfied, I called Chu Huan two days ago and said that I would go to South Korea to continue filming "Game of Death" in the next few days!

  Cai Lan smiled and said, "Brother Long, he should be exercising like crazy at this time, right?"

   Cai Lang and Li Xiaolong also know each other, and Cai Lang is also younger than Li Xiaolong!

In other words, Cai Lang is really charismatic. Although many people in later generations have said that Cai Lang is the most misnomer among the four talents of Xiangjiang, Chu Huan is noncommittal about this evaluation, but it is undeniable that the four Among the great talents, Cai Lan and Huang Zhan are the most transparent.

  Laughing and cursing all my life, looking at life with a smile, although I have never been rich and powerful, but I am happier than many rich and powerful people!

  Cai Lan can always bring the relationship between two people closer with a few words, and it's not the kind of deliberate flattery.

   Gives people a feeling of reassurance, thinking that with such a friend, there is no need to worry about him stumbling behind your back!

  How did Cai Lan and Li Xiaolong know each other? Chu Huan didn't know, but judging from Cai Lan's performance today, since the two know each other, they must be very good friends!

   "What happened?" Gu Long asked curiously.

  Cai Lan said: "Brother Long's new movie, the box office in Xiangjiang is not very good, there is no way to compare with my previous movies, so I have to exercise like crazy!"

  Gu Long heard such a thing, and immediately said indifferently: "What am I supposed to do, the box office of this movie is not good, just come back for the next movie!"

Cai Lang laughed and said: "Actually, Brother Long's requirements are too high. Everyone knows that his film is mainly for the European and American markets, and its cultural attributes are different from Xiangjiang's. This is also Brother Long's movie. Other people's movies, in Xiangjiang, they can't even get this box office!"

  Gu Long asked curiously: "How much is the box office?"

  Cai Lan thought for a while, and said: "It just passed 1 million. According to the forecast, the box office of this movie may be around 4 million!"

  Gu Long was dissatisfied when he heard the speech: "It's already 4 million, and I'm still not satisfied!"

  Ni Yan smiled from the side: "Isn't there Chu Yuan's "Seventy-Two Tenants" in front of him!"

  Shaw Brothers' movie "Seventy-Two Tenants" officially broke through the box office record of 8 million, creating the history of Xiangjiang movies.

Although "The Raptors Crossing the River" is less influential at the box office than Li Xiaolong's previous films, it still attracts a lot of audiences. Therefore, the box office potential of "Seventy-two Tenants" in Xiangjiang is basically the same. That's all for now.

  Now even the movie theaters of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line are downloading this movie one after another, and only a few theaters are still showing it.

  Li Xiaolong's topic didn't last long, as the wine entered his stomach, the topic began to completely fly away.

   Various taboo topics emerge in endlessly.

  After the mess in the private room, Gu Long immediately proposed to change the scene and go to the nightclub to continue having fun!

  Chu Huan knew that if he didn't make Gu Long happy today, it would be impossible to end, otherwise he would really be able to carry the wine bottle and squat in front of your house.

  So Chu Huan waved his hand and led everyone to the nightclub again.

However, Chu Huan didn't drink with them till the end. It was almost time, and Gu Long and the others had completely drank and didn't know anything, so Chu Huan left early, but Chu Huan still took Ma Jizu, The two of Li Zhenguo stayed behind, one was responsible for paying the bill, and the other was to watch over them so that no accidents would happen to them.

   Chu Huan, who left the nightclub, directly returned to the former apartment under the protection of Zhang Lin and others!

  Standing downstairs, you can see that the lights in the upstairs room are on.

  Chu Huan went upstairs with a smile on his face.

  When he opened the door, Chu Huan saw and heard a voice, and Gu Chengxi, who was wearing a white shirt that he left here, came out of the study!

  Barefooted, Gu Chengxi walked up to Chu Huan, wrapped his arms around Chu Huan's neck, kissed him sweetly, and then said in distaste, "The smell of wine is so strong!"

   "Go take a shower!"

   As he spoke, he pushed Chu Huan to the bathroom, but when Gu Chengxi wanted to close the door for Chu Huan, he was suddenly dragged in by Chu Huan!

   "I just finished washing."

  The white shirt was thrown out of the bathroom!

  Next day!

   After breakfast, Chu Huan first sent the lazy Gu Chengxi to "True Pao", and then drove to Mandarin Oriental, where he met Shangguan Wei in the restaurant.

   At this time, Shangguan Kai had big bags under his eyes hanging on his face, and he was eating breakfast listlessly. After seeing Chu Huan, he complained directly.

   "Everyone is a shareholder of the comic company, why is Gu Long able to sleep soundly in the room with the girl in his arms after drinking, and I have to go to the company with you so early?"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "If you dare to hand over the company's affairs to Gu Long, believe it or not, if it opens today, he will be able to drink **** for you tomorrow?"

  Shangguan Kai had no choice but to lower his head and continue eating his breakfast.

   After finishing their work, the two came to the upstairs of "Fantasy Comics"!

  Before Shangguan Yu and Gu Long came to Xiangjiang, Chu Huan had already rented this place, in order to use it as the headquarters of "Jianghu" comics!

  At this moment, the place is being redecorated, but nothing can be seen. The arrival of Shangguan Wei and Gu Long is actually more about signing some documents with Chu Huan.

   Take a look at the company's situation along the way.

"This place will be decorated in the same layout as the "Fantasy Comics" downstairs, but because the comic "Jianghu" is adapted from the martial arts novel in his martial arts magazine of the same name, the main markets are Xiangjiang, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. area!"

  Chu Huan bypassed a decoration worker and preached to Shangguan.

  Shangguan Yan said with a smile: "When we first started talking about this project, I thought it would take two or three years for this project to be completed, but I didn't expect it to take shape so quickly now!"

   Speaking of this, Shangguan Yan looked at Chu Huan and said seriously: "In the final analysis, Gu Long and I took all of you, Ah Huan!"

  Whether it is the martial arts magazine "Jianghu" or the "Jianghu" comic magazine that is currently being prepared, although Chu Huan didn't contribute much, he only contributed money.

   But their development plan was determined by Chu Huan, and it is precisely because of the resolute implementation of Chu Huan's plan that "Jianghu" martial arts magazine has its current status.

   This had to make Shangguan Wei lament that he had taken advantage of it!

  The monthly share of "Jianghu" makes Shangguan still feel unrealistic.

Chu Huan doesn't care about these things. To be honest, the share of "Jianghu" may be a lot of income for Shangguan Ting and Gu Long, but for Chu Huan, it is just his daily pocket money. .

   What Chu Huan really values ​​is the relationship with Shangguan. In the future, no matter if it is the Shanhai theater chain or the Yunhai chain, if Brother Audiovisual wants to enter the Taiwan Island market, it will be inseparable from Shangguan’s help.

   "There's nothing to be ashamed of, if you really want to thank me, there's just something I want to discuss with you!"

   At this time, the relationship between the two parties no longer needs to be polite!

   Shangguan asked, "What is it?"

   "I'm going to build several movie theaters on Taiwan Island to expand the number of Shanhai Cinemas!"

  Shanhai Cinema Line, Yunhai Chain, and Brothers Audio-Visual Industry, Chu Huan still wants to enter the Shanhai Cinema Line into the Taiwan Island market at the earliest.

  After all, in the next 20 years, the Taiwan and Island film market will always be the largest box office for Xiangjiang Films.

  Although later generations have a lot of rhetoric about the decline of Xiangjiang film market, it is undeniable that the loss of the Taiwan and Island market is the biggest reason for the decline of Xiangjiang film market.

  In the 1990s, when Xiangjiang Films entered its peak period, capital from Taiwan and Island flocked in. At that time, Xiangjiang Film Company used the Taiwan Island market as a cash machine.

  At that time, Wang Yingxiang, the owner of Taiwan’s theater chain, bought the exclusive rights to show Zhou Xingchi’s movie "Jigong" in Taiwan at a price of 30 million Taiwan dollars, but he lost money.

This made the theater bosses in Taiwan realize that they can no longer be so used to Xiangjiang movies, so the theater bosses in Taiwan united and negotiated with the filmmakers in Xiangjiang, hoping to set a ceiling for the purchase of the copyright of Xiangjiang movies. Seventeen and a half million!

However, when the bosses of Xiangjiang Film Company were negotiating with the owners of the theaters in Taiwan, they thought that the owners of the theaters in Taiwan were paper tigers. situation.

  So the bosses of Xiangjiang Film Company were very tough at that time.

   The result is naturally that the negotiation broke down!

   And the theater owners of Taiwan Island are not the paper tigers that the bosses of Xiangjiang Film Company thought. After the negotiation broke down, they immediately negotiated with the Taiwan Island Information Bureau and demanded that American films be released!

  Before this, only eight copies of each American film could be imported in Taiwan!

  Taiwan Island Information Bureau was pressured by the theater owners, agreed to the other party's request, and directly let go of American movies. The American movies that were lifted from restrictions directly smashed Hong Kong movies!

  In addition, there was a movie channel in Taiwan at that time, and the movie channel was more profitable than the theater chain, so they set up their own movie channels one after another.

   One Movie Makes Twice!

  This made Xiangjiang Films completely lose the Taiwan and Island market, and also paved the way for the collapse of Xiangjiang Films!

Chu Huan chooses to set up his own movie theater in Taiwan now, more to prepare for the next 20 years. After 20 years, Chu Huan believes that even if the market in Taiwan is lost, the domestic market at that time It should have been almost run by myself.

  Although it is not yet possible to say that it can reach the level after 2005, it can at least make up for the loss of the Taiwan Island market.

  In addition, the theater land I bought on Taiwan Island can also be sold directly as a real estate project at that time!

   No matter how you look at it, this is a profitable business.

Shangguan Yu was not surprised that Chu Huan wanted to build a movie theater on Taiwan Island. Nowadays, black and white images have become a giant in Xiangjiang, and only Shaw Brothers can hold a head. After the movie "Crossing the River" did not achieve the desired effect in Xiangjiang.

   Golden Harvest has already started to fall behind!

  Since Chu Huan has no opponents in Xiangjiang, it is naturally impossible to give up the market on Taiwan Island!

   "This is no problem. I will start this matter after I go back. How many movie theaters do you want to build on Taiwan Island?"

  Chu Huan thought for a while, and said, "Let's build two flagship movie theaters in Taiwan now, and let's take a look at the situation of these two movie theaters in the theaters behind!"

   Chu Huan was still very careful about the Taiwan Island market, and did not choose to enter it all at once!

  Shangguan Mi nodded and said: "No problem!"

   Then the two went to "Fantasy Comics".

  Looking at the situation of "Fantasy Comics", Shangguan Wei sighed again, he really never imagined that a comic company would bring Chu Huan an annual income of over 100 million!

   After separating from Shangguan, Chu Huan returned to Jiahu Mansion.

  Xu Yi came to Chu Huan's office: "Boss, Ms. Zhao Yazhi has been here for a long time, and I have always wanted to see you!"

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "Let her in!"

   Not long after, under the leadership of Xu Yi, Zhao Yazhi came to Chu Huan's office.

   "How is your daddy's condition? I received a call from Axia yesterday. I should have gone to see it in person, but the company is too busy. Li Jiantai didn't delay your daddy's condition, right?"

  After seeing Zhao Yazhi, Chu Huan asked with a smile.

  Zhao Yazhi said movedly: "Thanks to Brother Huan for your help, otherwise, I really don't know what to do!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Didn't I say that, you are my man, since something happened, I naturally want to help!"

  Zhao Yazhi whispered: "Brother Huan, I want to invite you to dinner at the apartment tonight, I wonder if you have time!"

"OK!"
