Chapter 374:0373 [Shadow Tycoon! 】
Enemies have been doing it for a long time, and they will be as familiar with each other's every move as lovers.
Li Zhaotian is Shi Zhijian's "lover", he guessed rightly, Shi Zhijian really wants to make another wave of money by relying on the release of the movie.
Therefore, this Golden Harvest "Myth" must be screened in Hong Kong, and it must be a hit at the box office. Only in this way can he, Shi Zhijian, turn himself over and become a god in one battle.
It's a pity that Li Zhaotian's "lover" turned out to be a "loveless person", so he called Shaw Brothers directly and asked Shaw Brothers to block Jiahe's new film.
The relationship between Lee's and Shaw is unusual, as can be seen from their joint investment in TVB.
Coupled with the long-standing "grievances" between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, it is undoubtedly imperative to block Golden Harvest.
...
Golden Harvest Film Company.
Gloomy.
There are still three days before the movie will be released, but the negotiations of the major theaters in Hong Kong have reached a deadlock.
To be precise, none of those movie theaters agreed to release the movie "Myth".
The reason was that Li Shi and Shaw Brothers were fanning the flames behind, especially Shaw Brothers said that if any movie theater screened Jiahe's play, then there would be no chance to show their Shaw Brothers' play in the future.
In this era, Shaw Brothers is the overlord of the film industry.
"Shaw Brothers products must be high-quality products" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Without Shaw Brothers movies, where would those theaters go to make money?
Compared with Shaw Brothers, Jiahe is just a newborn baby, and what the future will be like, it is impossible to predict. So to be on the safe side, I still listen to Shao's words, cherish life, and stay away from Jiahe.
"What can we do? Most of the Cathay Pacific theaters we bought are located in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other places. There are only two or three movie theaters in Hong Kong." Zou Wenhuai said with his brows pinched.
"That's right, even if these three movie theaters line up films all day long, they can't earn back the money they invested in, let alone earn box office." He Guanchang also said with a sad face.
"I didn't expect the Shaw Brothers to be so shameless, bullying the small with the big!" Chen Ziqiang was indignant.
"It's a pity, Mr. Shi still wants to make money from this drama, I'm afraid it will be over!"
Before Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, he heard a voice say: "Don't worry, I'm not finished!"
"Mr. Shi, why are you here?"
Everyone couldn't help being surprised.
Ever since Shi Zhijian was busy with real estate, he rarely came to Golden Harvest.
Moreover, Shi Zhijian had fulfilled his previous promise and would never interfere with Zou Wenhuai and others' management of Golden Harvest, so Shi Zhijian's appearance this time surprised them.
"I'm here to give you some reassurance. Prepare yourself. Our movie is about to be screened in Hong Kong. It will be very tiring. It may be hard for everyone!"
"Uh, release in Hong Kong?"
Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others looked at each other and wondered if Shi Zhijian lost his mind because he was too anxious. Now that Shaw Brothers is encircling Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest only has those three theaters, and it's a ghost!
Seeing everyone's puzzled faces, Shi Zhijian just smiled lightly, "Don't believe me? Then you just wait and watch the show!"
...
After Shi Zhijian left Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai and others began to whisper.
He Guanchang pointed to his head: "Is there something wrong with Mr. Shi?"
"You are not allowed to speak of Mr. Shi like that!" Zou Wenhuai spoke righteously and yelled loudly, "He is also our boss. Even if he is out of his mind, kicked by a donkey, or caught between doors, we can't speak of him like that!"
Everyone stared at Zou Wenhuai collectively.
"What are you watching? I'm going to Shaw Brothers right now, negotiating with Daheng Shao, and I'm going to set up a few movie theaters no matter what!" Zou Wenhuai straightened his tie and walked outside with his head held high.
He Guanchang and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.
...
Bentley.
"Ah!" Shi Zhijian took out a handkerchief and wiped his nose, wondering if someone was scolding him behind his back.
In the eyes of many people, those big words that I said really seemed to be caught in the crack of the door.
But Shi Zhijian just laughed it off, and the chick knows the ambition of the swan.
"Turn, it's ahead!" Shi Zhijian told the driver Chen Huimin, "Go to Kowloon Bus Group!"
The Kowloon Bus Group is a transportation company controlled by the Lei family in Hong Kong.
Lei Ruide, the boss of the Lei family, is a hero of the generation.
Lei Ruide was born in a chaebol family, came to Hong Kong in the 1930s to develop, and has a close relationship with the British high-level officials in Hong Kong. He helped the British army transfer during the Japanese invasion and saved many ghosts.
Therefore, after the little devil was defeated and withdrew from Hong Kong, Lei's took advantage of the momentum to rise, founded the Kowloon Bus Company, and controlled 20.38% of the controlling stake in Kowloon Bus!
Relying on this transportation industry that is related to people's livelihood, Lei's took root in Hong Kong and began to intervene in the management of real estate and film industries. Today, it owns "Kowloon Cinema", "Li Sheng", "Le Sheng", "Kai Sheng", " Jin Hongji" and many other cinemas, because the "Lia Sung" theater is the largest and most famous among these cinemas, so Lei's cinemas are collectively referred to as "Lia Sung cinemas".
Today, Lei Ruide, a hero of the generation, is getting old, so he let go of the main business of the company to his son Lei Juekun.
Lei Juekun is known for being ruthless in his work, and he especially likes to do some special things. As long as he can make money, he will step in and never care about how much money he invests. Therefore, Lei Juekun is also nicknamed "Lei Shui" by the industry. throat"!
Others don't know, but Shi Zhijian is very clear, this Lei Juekun is definitely not as simple as a big water hose.
In his previous life, this person was extremely mysterious. Not only did he almost monopolize the traffic in Kowloon, but he also almost beat Golden Harvest and Shaw Cinemas to the ground, because after Lei Juekun took charge of Lisheng Cinemas, he supported New Arts City Film Company in 1980 and won over Living in Mecca, Shi Tian and Huang Boming started a ten-year struggle for hegemony in the shadow sea.
Relying on the "Happy Ghost" series, the "Best Partner" series, and the "Eight Star Annunciation" series, New Art City has crushed Shaw Brothers and Jiahe many times in the past ten years.
The boss Lei Juekun is therefore also known as the well-deserved "shadow tycoon" in the Hong Kong film industry.
Shi Zhijian took a Bentley to the Kowloon Bus Group Company, asked Chen Huimin to park the car, took a briefcase and walked straight into the building.
The guards guarding the building saw Shi Zhijian's extraordinary appearance, and Chen Huimin's face behind him was even more rebellious. He didn't even dare to ask questions, so he let them in.
This made Shi Zhijian a little surprised. Originally, he had prepared a lot of rhetoric, but one sentence was useless.
"It seems that those Indian third brothers have more professional ethics. Regardless of rich or poor, high or low, as long as they are in charge, you have to ask."
Shi Zhijian muttered in his heart, and led Chen Huimin into the elevator.
This industrial building has been built for almost five years, and the elevators are a bit old due to frequent use.
There are many small palm-sized advertisements posted in the elevator, such as secret ancestral remedies to treat Medu, and recruitment of girls in nightclub dance halls... all kinds of things are messy.
This makes Shi Zhijian feel an indescribable intimacy with the small advertisement. It seems that in his previous era, there were such things on the telephone poles, which were called "dog skin plasters".
