Feng Yifeng is really not an ambitious person. He will only follow the trend, gain benefits from it, and use the minimum cost to obtain and protect what he wants to maintain. Therefore, he is not arrogant enough to rely on his personal ability to stop He
Because he knew that if he really did this, he would be ruthlessly destroyed. But out of his feelings for Hong Kong movies, Feng Yifeng still wanted to do his part to make the already distorted film production
, get back on the right track.
In order to achieve this goal, he formulated a series of unknown plans. However, his plan was destined to be misunderstood. Even Huang Baiming and Feng Yifeng, who wanted to win over, only stated how the plan worked, but the plan
He still had reservations about the ultimate goal of the plan, because not many people would completely believe in the purpose of this plan, which made Huang Baiming very wary of him.
Because everyone can see from this that Asian movies are on the rise. In the next few years, they will develop at a fast pace. The box office of movies and the development of peripheral products are huge. As long as you master such a huge movie
The resources are enough to dominate the Asian film industry. When the time comes, is it really going to protect Hong Kong movies or make huge profits from it? Who can guarantee that Feng Yifeng has no selfish motives?
So when Feng Yifeng told Uncle Shao frankly and unreservedly about the plan that had never been made public, although he admired Feng Yifeng for being able to formulate such a huge plan that might take several years to operate and invest countless funds, but Feng Yifeng wanted to transform it
Uncle Shao is not optimistic about the establishment of a complete film system for Hong Kong movies, similar to that of Hollywood.
Having dominated the Hong Kong film industry for decades, Shao Liushu has lost his original ambitions for the Hong Kong film industry after Chow Wen-huai, Ho Guan-chang and others defected to form a new company. A person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to maintain strong energy and ambition throughout his life.
Uncle Shao is already over 70 years old. At this age, ordinary Hong Kong citizens have probably retired and are enjoying raising children at home and getting together with their families.
None of his children have any intention of developing in the entertainment industry, nor do they have the intention to inherit Shaw Brothers and Wireless. As a father, Uncle Shao is not like other parents who hope that their children will succeed, supervising their children to inherit their father's business. His discipline of his children
, very open-minded, laissez-faire, and can do whatever he likes without interfering. So now Uncle Shao can only rely on Fang Yihua and his old body for support.
Shaw Brothers was already in the sunset, but TVB was like the rising sun, full of vitality. He didn't want to be trapped in Shaw Brothers, so he shifted his focus of development to television, thereby continuing his status as a film tycoon. So when Shao Liushu learned about Feng Yifeng's plan
, he immediately made up his mind and broke off his arm to sell off Shaw Brothers Cinemas, which only relied on showing films from other film companies, so as to get the wireless shares he wanted most.
It is indeed very profitable for a theater chain to have enough blockbuster films released. But the money spent to maintain a theater line is also an objective amount. Shaw Brothers' production is reduced year by year, and it is simply impossible to rely solely on Shaw Brothers' films.
Not enough to maintain the operation of a theater chain. Equipment update
, the maintenance and upkeep of the theater, and the wages and benefits of employees can no longer be maintained by box office, but must be maintained by Shaw Brothers' investment every year. Even if Uncle Shao Liu is no longer willing, the movies of "Jiahe" and "New Art City"
, he can only let theaters show it and get a share of the box office.
Now that the theater chain has become a burden, since Shaw Brothers cannot maintain and operate, Shao Liushu can only endure the pain. In the last life, Shaw Brothers Theater Line was fully acquired by Dickson Poon's "Debao Film Company" in 1985 and became a theater chain.
A prelude to the final decline of Shaw Brothers. However, due to Feng Yifeng's intervention, Uncle Shao was unable to fully control Wireless
, needs more energy and time to maintain his control over Wireless, and Fang Yihua does not have Shao Liushu's reputation and intimidation, so he cannot control the entire situation. Then abandoning the theater chain seems to be Shao Liushu's best choice now. If it is based on
It is naturally the best outcome for the theater chain to exchange for the wireless shares owned by Feng Yifeng.
Although he knew that this request was difficult to achieve, Uncle Shao just wanted to give it a try. Feng Yifeng's flat refusal still made him feel a little uncomfortable. When had he ever received such a merciless rejection?
When had he ever been questioned like this? But despite his deep scheming, he didn't show it at all. He just stared at Feng Yifeng with inquiring eyes.
Based on the scale of Shaw Brothers Cinemas and its coverage in Hong Kong, if it were to exchange for the wireless shares currently held by Feng Yifeng, the difference would be almost the same. After all, Wireless has not yet entered the explosive period, and Li's has not been acquired by the "lonely" Qiu Degen.
"Asia Television
"So the battle between the two stations still has winners and losers. Wireless's dominance has not yet been determined. So although Wireless is making money, it is still young and needs enough time to develop and accumulate.
Enough background.
But Feng Yifeng is a reborn person, and he knows very clearly that by the 21st century, Wireless's market value has exceeded 16 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it is the well-deserved overlord of Hong Kong. Even in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even Southeast Asia, its weight is only
It is slightly worse than CCTV, which has just opened up the world market.
Therefore, Feng Yifeng would not give up this chicken that lays golden eggs at all. If it were not for Hong Kong's regulations on radio, film and television, Feng Yifeng would have wanted to acquire "Li's TV", thereby forming a monopoly of Wireless, allowing Wireless to distribute
Enough power to explore Taiwan, Southeast Asia and mainland markets as soon as possible.
After suppressing his dissatisfaction, Uncle Shao could tell from Feng Yifeng's attitude that it might be impossible to obtain shares. Buy with money? Does Feng Yifeng seem to be short of money? Although he has not fully investigated and grasped all of Feng Yifeng's shares.
Detailed information. But Uncle Shao still knows how much a rich man with assets of billions of dollars will spend.
Money can impress him? I'm afraid only the entire Shaw Brothers and Wireless TVB. But it is impossible for Mr. Shaw Brothers to sell Shaw Brothers (Shaw Brothers Cinemas is just a branch of Shaw Brothers Co., Ltd., and TVB's shareholder is actually Shaw Brothers)
Brothers Co., Ltd., which also owns Shaw Brothers Studios and Kin City Studios) and Wireless, because this is where his heart lies.
Feng Yifeng also knew that he refused too firmly, but he did not regret it. Even if he risked offending Uncle Shao Liu, he would not compromise. If that moment really came, Feng Yifeng would at most break up with Uncle Shao and support Li Xiao instead.
Mrs. Li Xiao and Mrs. Li Xiao must have hoped that this would happen. At the very least, Feng Yifeng should remain neutral, which would be more acceptable than the current wavering.
"Uncle Liu, I have never considered selling Wireless shares. You have full confidence in Wireless, and I have no less confidence in Wireless than you do. So any negotiation that uses Wireless as a bargaining chip should be stopped here!" Since now!
After the words had been spoken, Feng Yifeng didn't want to be tactful anymore and refused directly without giving Uncle Shao Liu a chance.
Uncle Shao Liu didn't speak the whole time. He just stared at Feng Yifeng steadily, as if he wanted to see through his true inner thoughts. The entire box fell into terrible silence. Even Fang Yihua looked at the two of them nervously, and Weng Meiling was even more helpless.
.Although Feng Yifeng is now on an equal footing with Shao Liushu to negotiate deals, in Weng Meiling's heart, Shao Liushu is still an insurmountable mountain.
"In this case, let me put it another way. Shaw Brothers Cinemas can still be sold to you, but you have to promise me that at the upcoming shareholders' meeting, I hope you can support me and let Yihua serve as the assistant general manager.
At the same time, he became a non-executive director of the company." Shao Liushu put forward the idea that he had already thought of when he invited Feng Yifeng.
"This..., this doesn't seem to be in line with the rules, does it?" Shao Liushu is now the chairman of the board of directors and general manager. If Fang Yihua becomes the assistant to the general manager and becomes a non-executive director, then Shao Liushu can be in the board of directors or senior management.
Get more say.
When Wireless was founded, there was already a rule that non-executive directors were hired by the board of directors, but could not hold any important management positions in the company. Now Shao Liushu obviously wants to use his status as chairman of the board of directors and general manager to break this rule.
Therefore, he must obtain the support of Feng Yifeng, the third largest shareholder, in order to succeed.
"Rules? Hahaha! When did Ah Feng become a rule-abiding person?" Uncle Shao seemed to have heard something very interesting. He burst out laughing and joked: "Rules are only used to regulate those who are incompetent.
As a person who makes rules, do you think he will fully abide by the rules he has made? Is Afeng’s behavior a person who follows rules? "
To be honest, Feng Yifeng really doesn’t want Wireless to completely become Shao Liushu’s boss. Although this will allow Wireless to get faster development opportunities, in fact, it will not benefit him at all. On the contrary, it will affect his current position as the third largest shareholder of Wireless.
Only by maintaining a balance point and allowing Uncle Shao Liu, Li Xiao and his wife to check and balance each other is the situation that best suits Feng Yifeng's interests.
Seeing Feng Yifeng's hesitation, Uncle Shao, who had grown up a long time ago, certainly understood what he was worried about. He showed a confident expression and said: "You don't have to worry about anything. You are still one of the major shareholders of Wireless Wireless, and you can continue to serve as your administrative committee."
member,
I can even nominate you as the 'Director of Production Resources Department'. I think as you are the chairman of the 'Grand Hotel Group' and 'Fisherman's Wharf Resort', and the major shareholder of 'Huazhi Real Estate' and 'Aimego', there is not much
People will object to your appointment."
"So do you think Li Xiaohe and his wife will agree to it? Will other people in the Li family and their supporters agree to this proposal? I can guarantee that as long as you propose it, they will definitely come out to oppose it. Even if I support you, in the
The board of directors passed the motion, how many people do you think will be willing to do so? If they publicize your dictatorship to the media, I will get excited when I see it." Feng Yi
Feng is very interested in the position of "Director of Production Resources Department" (Later, Lok Yiling took over this position, so he has a pivotal position in wireless). Although he cannot be in charge of all contracted artists, he can decide whether the artists will sign "
"Board Appointment" or "Manager's Contract", as well as the allocation of all resources for filming the series are also his responsibility, and he and the production director are complementary to each other.
"You can rest assured that I will take care of the other directors and senior management. Moreover, I will also remove the subtitles from the deputy directors of the production department of Fei Lin (Wang Tianlin) and Xiao Sheng, and both of them will become the drama production directors of the production department.
Support each other and give each other pointers to ensure the smooth progress of TV production. I know that you are Fei Lin's apprentice, and you get along well with Xiao Sheng on the crew of "Thirteenth Sister", so it is the best choice for you to match them.
.”
Indeed, Uncle Shao Liu's words moved Feng Yifeng. Now he is a bit confused as a scene recorder and martial artist at TVB. It is not that he has lost interest in TV production, but that he is a lazy person. If he is asked to follow the crew's schedule, not only
It is indeed a bit difficult for him to work overtime at night and go out on location from time to time.
"Okay! As long as I can take the position of 'Director of Production Resources Department', I can support your proposal on the board of directors. As for other things, it depends on you, Uncle Six."
Seeing that Feng Yifeng finally agreed, Uncle Shao breathed a sigh of relief. He was still a little uneasy about whether he could use a position to impress Feng Yifeng, but after the conversation just now, he also knew that Feng Yifeng was not the kind of person who wanted nothing.
Everyone has their own ideals and purposes in doing things, but Feng Yifeng's purpose was too vague, which made it difficult for Uncle Shao Liu to accept it, and he also couldn't believe it.
