Hong Kong Variety Show: I choose Liang Kun, he has a big temper

Chapter 313: Hong Jinbao's movie is released, Golden Harvest is internally divided

In fact, Uncle Shaw has indeed started to move to TVB.

Even so, he only gave up 50% of the shares of Shaw Cinemas, which means that he still retained 50% of the shares.

There is only one reason for doing this: Uncle Shao is leaving a way out for himself.

It was for this reason that Uncle Shaw did not transfer Shaw Cinemas to two very powerful film companies, namely, Jiahe and Xinhongxing Films, but chose to start with Mr. Lei, who was easy to talk to.

It's just for the future, so that there will be a way out if you really want to make movies again.

But now, Shaw Brothers’ cinema chain is not in the hands of Mr. Lei, but instead in the hands of Chen Wenxin’s Hongxing Films.

This is tantamount to cutting off Uncle Shao Liu's retreat.

That is why Uncle Shao Liu’s secretary said this at that time.

"What do you know?"

"Chen Wen is treating movies as a business. He has released so many hit movies one after another. What do I have to lose?"

"Since he's running a business, then I'll be a shareholder. If I give up 50% of the cinema chain at this time, I'd be crazy!"

Uncle Shao Liu spoke directly and methodically.

His meaning was obvious. If Mr. Lei took over Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Uncle Shaw might not be able to guarantee that Shaw Brothers Cinemas would continue to make money.

It's nothing more than relying on his face to co-screen the film with Golden Harvest to bring him some profits.

But the amount of profit is not important. This is just to leave a way out for Uncle Shao Liu.

And now, since nearly 50% of Shaw Brothers' cinema chains have fallen into the hands of New Hongxing Pictures, this matter needs to be considered from a different perspective.

You know, although the outside world has always claimed that Chen Wen is a gangster, the business that Chen Wen has been doing during this period has always been earth-shaking.

Take Hutchison Whampoa as an example. It has directly competed with these real estate giants and even pointed the finger at Jardine Matheson.

Chen Wen definitely had his reasons for doing this.

As the owner of 50% of Shaw Cinemas, Uncle Shaw does not need to understand these reasons. He only needs to know that Shaw Cinemas will make more money in Chen Wen's hands than in Lei Gongzi's hands.

After all, if you just consider Shaw Brothers' cinema chain as a stock investment, it will definitely be very profitable in the future.

As for what kind of retreat?

Isn’t money the best way out?

In short, if Mr. Lei takes over Shaw Cinemas, then Uncle Shaw will be leaving a way out for himself.

If Chen Wen takes over Shaw Cinemas, then Uncle Shaw will be buying himself a stock. At present, the prospects of this stock are still very promising.

In short, from any perspective, Uncle Shao has no reason to quit at this time.

However, even Uncle Shaw himself did not notice that after he heard that New Hung Hsing Films had acquired Shaw Cinemas, the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than AK!

……

A few days later.

When New Hung Hing Films occupied more than half of the entire Hong Kong Island film market, Golden Harvest launched a new work.

That’s right! The work being played was the work that had been shelved by Chow Wen-huai and Ho Kuan-chang for three months.

After being suppressed one after another, even Sammo Hung didn't think this movie would be a hit.

Unexpectedly, the movie "Five Lucky Stars" had just been released and the Golden Harvest box office was sold out.

This is a rare situation for Jiahe in recent months.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that Shaw Brothers will take back the cinemas and screen Sammo Hung's works at multiple time slots at the same time.

Moreover, it is exclusively broadcasted by Golden Harvest Cinemas.

This also adds a lot of gimmicks to the movie.

The most important thing is that Liu Lianghua decided that this film would adopt a publicity and promotion method similar to that of New Hongxing Pictures.

Before the movie is released, it is not only promoted in newspapers and on television, but a corresponding roadshow is also set up after it is released.

In other words, the movie "Five Lucky Stars" was created by Sammo Hung, but the promotion and publicity was ultimately learned from the New Hongxing.

Even so, Sammo Hung always felt that the box office was unreal.

"There was no such situation when 'Best Partner 2' was released. How come this movie is so popular?"

Hong Jinbao spoke to his brothers from the Hong Clan with a look of surprise.

"Brother, the content of this movie is what matters. Look at the movies on the market. They are all full of fighting and killing."

"It's not without reason that your comedy film is so popular."

"In addition to comedy, we also perform kung fu, and ours is real kung fu. Even if they want to learn, they can't. It's normal for people to watch it."

A junior fellow from the Hong family spoke directly.

Hearing this junior fellow saying these flattering words, the other people present immediately followed suit.

For a time, even Sammo Hung began to doubt who dominated the Hong Kong film market.

"Brother, don't forget, if it weren't for you, how could Cheng Long be signed to New Hongxing Films?"

"How could they possibly get hold of the movie Police Stories?"

"In other words, isn't Cheng Long also from the Hong Clan? To put it bluntly, the success of New Hongxing is all thanks to you, brother."

Another junior fellow student was also blowing flattery nearby.

There is no doubt that the words of several people were full of flattery for Hong Jinbao.

However, what these people did not know was that everything that happened in the Hong Family Class was reported to Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang truthfully.

You know, Zou Wenhuai and He Kuanchang left Shaw Brothers in anger and founded the current Golden Harvest.

Although they are not the largest shareholders, they also hold technology in Golden Harvest, which is the so-called technology investment.

Now, after all the trouble the two of them have gone through.

The whole of Hong Kong Island has changed dramatically. The largest shareholders of Golden Harvest will not sit idly by. They are always vigilant about the actions of the Hong Clan.

That’s right! Liu Lianghua strongly supports Hong Jinbao in the board of directors, which has made He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai jealous.

Although they all work for Jiahe, they are very clear that they do not have the final say in Jiahe.

"Three of you, I think even if I don't tell you, you should know that in order to promote the sequel of "Best Partner" to you, I kept this movie on hold for three full months."

"Now that Golden Harvest's directors are supporting Sammo Hung, I can't stop it."

"But, you three have been at Golden Harvest for a while, right? Apart from this old work, don't you have any other works?"

He Guanchang spoke directly to Wong Jing and the other two.

There is no doubt that Liu Lianghua strongly supports Hong Jinbao in the board of directors.

He Guanchang, who also holds a seat on the board of directors, directed his firepower directly at Wong Jing and the other two.

After all, they had put a lot of thought into recruiting these three people to Jiahe.

How could He Guanchang let these three people go?
