Chapter 312: Destroying the jobs of filmmakers, how deep is Uncle Six’s hatred!
Hong Kong Island, Broadcast Drive, TVB.
The secretary of Uncle Shaw received news that Golden Harvest had contacted Shaw Brothers and cancelled the next joint screening.
For a moment, Uncle Shao Liu felt numb all over!
That’s right! At that time, Uncle Shaw was very clear that Mr. Lei had taken over Shaw Cinemas.
But he was not aware of the series of operations that followed.
Even so, Shaw Cinemas does not have no connection with Uncle Shaw.
You know, at that time, Uncle Shao still owned nearly 50% of the shares, which was not a small amount.
"No matter what, Boss Zou and Mr. He will definitely give you some face."
"I don't know what's going on. Why are they canceling the joint screening?"
"I really don't know what kind of trouble this Mr. Lei got into. Could it be that he offended the top management of Jiahe?"
The secretary beside Uncle Shao Liu couldn't help but complain.
That’s right! At that time, Shaw had indeed begun to plan to devote himself to TVB.
But even so, Uncle Run Run Shaw did not really give up the Hong Kong film market.
If not, how could Uncle Run Run Shaw hold nearly 50% of the shares of Shaw Cinemas?
Obviously, this is an excellent state where you can attack or defend.
To take a step back, even if Mr. Lei does not live up to his expectations, with the cooperation between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, two major cinema chains, Shaw Brothers will definitely not go down the path of losing money.
But Uncle Shao never expected that Master Lei had just taken over Shao Corporation from him and he would suddenly create a huge bomb.
For a moment, Uncle Shao even felt a little regretful and wondered why he had given 50% of the Shaw Cinemas chain to Mr. Lei.
"Zero zero zero——"
Just then, the phone rang in Uncle Shao Liu's office.
Line connected.
That’s right! The person on the other end of the phone was none other than He Guanchang from Jiahe.
"Uncle Six, I'm calling just to say hello to you."
"The cancellation of the joint screening was a decision made by Golden Harvest's largest shareholder. Wen Huai and I have no other choice."
"Actually, Uncle Six, it was indeed Wen Huai and I who were disloyal when we left Shaw Brothers, but we have paid back what we owed, right? Uncle Six, why did you have to do this?"
Facing his former boss, He Guanchang came up and directly expressed his apologies.
That’s right! It is true that Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang are the main people in charge of Golden Harvest Cinemas.
But you have to know that when they went public, they were only receiving a salary of a few thousand yuan.
He founded Golden Harvest right after leaving Shaw Brothers.
It is precisely for this reason that other people were sought to invest in Golden Harvest, so that Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang do not have much power.
In other words, if Golden Harvest was always in a state of making money, then Zou Wenhuai and He Kuanchang would be able to decide how to make movies and what kind of movies to make.
But once the company shows signs of crisis, these major shareholders will definitely intervene at this time, just like Liu Lianghua at this time.
It is no wonder that Liu Lianghua was so anxious. The film production companies and cinema chains that occupied half of Hong Kong Island took a sharp turn for the worse in just two months.
I'm sure anyone would be very angry after hearing this.
"Achang, please make your words clear."
"What happened back then has long been written off. We had already discussed it before the joint screening."
"Now, it's you who don't want to co-screen, and you're blaming me? How can this make sense?"
Uncle Shao lit a cigar for himself.
He really couldn't understand why He Guanchang ended the joint screening at this time.
Of course, what is most confusing is He Guanchang’s criticism.
How could it be a good feeling to be scolded by your former subordinates?
"Sixth Uncle, we all make a living from movies. The circle is so small that no news can be leaked."
"While talking to our family and Lianying, give Chen Wen an offer. Uncle Six should be able to sell it for a good price, right?"
"But Uncle Six, have you ever thought that this is destroying our jobs?"
He Guanchang said directly with some dissatisfaction.
Originally, He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai ran away from Shaw's home, and felt a little guilty about being disloyal to Uncle Shaw.
But now it seems that what happened before is indeed over, and now it is Uncle Shao Liu who owes them.
After hanging up the phone, Uncle Shao hesitated for a long time before he came to his senses.
"Help me get the acquisition contract."
Uncle Shao gave the order directly to the secretary beside him.
That's right! Uncle Shao signed the contract directly with the so-called Mr. Lei's secretary.
Originally, Uncle Shao thought that this was a final matter and did not think much about it, and he paid in cash on the spot.
He just felt that apart from Mr. Lei, there could be no one else who could be so generous.
But after He Guanchang's reminder, Uncle Shao Liu began to have some doubts when he thought about what happened on the day of the signing.
Until the name signed on the contract came into view.
Uncle Shao suddenly realized.
That was not the so-called secretary of Mr. Lei, but Jimmy, the confidant of Chen Wen.
"So, now Shaw Brothers is a subsidiary of New Hung Hing Films?"
When Uncle Shao Liu said this, even the secretary next to him was shocked.
There is no doubt that no one except Jimmy at the time knew that Shaw Brothers' cinema chain fell into the hands of New Hung Hing Pictures.
After all, even Uncle Shao Liu, the person involved, was unaware of it.
"New Hongxing Films? Isn't that the Young and Dangerous film company that just started making movies?"
"A few movies have destroyed half of Golden Harvest's business. No wonder the big directors of Golden Harvest are targeting Shaw Brothers at this time."
"Chairman, why don't we just give all the remaining shares to New Hongxing Pictures? At least, we can have more money in our hands."
The secretary beside Uncle Shao Liu said directly.
What the secretary said does make some sense.
After all, these businessmen and even the artistic practitioners of these film productions have always looked down on Young and Dangerous.
Not to mention, this is a gangster who came from the real estate business.
"At this point, if I retreat, I'll be really crazy."
Uncle Shao took a puff of his cigar and spoke directly with a meaningful look on his face.
"But Chairman, the reason why Shaw was handed over to Mr. Lei was because Mr. Lei was easy to control."
"Master Lei is in power. We can go back to make movies whenever we want."
"But this New Hung Hing Film Company has been making a lot of movies recently and has been focusing on movies. It is almost impossible to take back Shaw Brothers from them."
The secretary said directly with a difficult look on his face.
Although this may sound a bit harsh, he can be said to be someone who truly understands Uncle Shao Liu.
