In the tea restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel, Run Run Shaw sat on his old seat where he had been drinking tea for decades. He was calm in his afternoon tea and could not see any influence on public opinion.
Qiu Degen laughed and said: Sixth brother, you were given a general by that young man this time.
Run Run Shaw smiled while drinking tea: General is not considered a general, but it is indeed a little trouble.
Qiu Degen and Run Run Shaw met in the late 1950s. At that time, Run Shaw was a tycoon in Nanyang Film. However, returning to Hong Kong to start a business is still a poor and a comeback. Qiu Degen was just a self-made small courtyard businessman.
The two initially had a pure business cooperation relationship. Later, Lu Yuntao entered the Hong Kong film industry, and Qiu Degen transformed into Lu Yuntao's general.
In the next ten years, Qiu Degen and Run Run Shaw were both hostile.
It was not until after Lu Yuntao died in the air crash that Qiu Degen took away his cinemas, and the largest theaters were sold to Run Run Shaw, and the two became personal friends.
Qiu Degen looked at the Victoria Bay in the distance and smiled and said: We haven’t had tea together for more than two years.
Run Run Shaw said: Brother Qiu, you have been doing a great job in the past few years, so where can you have time to drink tea?
The two talked about trivial matters, and after the reminiscing of the past, Run Run Shaw said: I heard that Kang Jianfei’s "The Legend of Qin" is about to be filmed in Songcheng?
Songcheng is a newly built historical and cultural amusement park invested by Qiu Degen. It is full of ancient Song buildings. It was built three years ago and has been completed one after another.
I don’t know much about this. Song Cheng is my third brother in charge.Qiu Degen asked with a smile, "What, Brother Six wants me not to take over Feng Huáng Taiwan's business?"
Whether it is TVB or Feng Huáng TV, it doesn’t have its own set.
TVB usually shoots on the Qingshui Bay studio, but that set belongs to Shaw Pictures. TVB needs to pay rent for filming on Shaw Brothers studio, although the rent is very cheap.
As for Feng Huáng TV, it only has its own studio in the TV station building, so the scene of Lishi's costume dramas in the past was far inferior to TVB's costume dramas.
Now Kang Jianfei is going to film "The Legend of Qin". It is too expensive to go to mainland China or Taiwan to film. It is thankless to choose the place to set the scene by himself. The most ideal is to film it in Songcheng, Qiu Degen.
There are various antique buildings there, you only need to pay a rent, which saves even the effort of building a picture, and the real scene effect will be much better than TVB's building a picture.
Run Run Shaw said in a very kind tone: I am not that domineering, how can I stop Brother Qiu from letting you do business?However, Feng Huáng's drama is well-made, so the rent is a little more expensive, so they will accept it.
Qiu Degen despised Run Run Shaw's little weapon in his heart. He even spoke up in person so much that he lowered each other's identities in vain.
He built Songcheng to make money. As the only antique building complex in Hong Kong, there will inevitably be many costume dramas filmed in Songcheng in the future.
Kang Jianfei’s Dream Factory and Feng Huáng Taiwan are both potential big customers.
You should know that he spent more than 60 million on the construction of Songcheng. I don’t know when he will be able to make a profit. Qiu Degen will mess with his brain problems.
Sometimes, friendship is friendship, business is business, it cannot be done with just a word from a friend, just patting his chest.
However, the relationship between the two of them was there for many years, Qiu Degen still said: OK, I will tell the third brother.
After drinking the afternoon tea, Run Run Shaw walked out of the Peninsula Hotel, ignored the reporters who were waiting for the interview, and took the bus back to the TV station.
When passing by Fang Yihua's office, Run Run Shaw heard his concubine losing his temper again. He couldn't help but frown and walked in. After sending everyone else away, he said: "The people below should scold you for doing something wrong, but it's better not to fire this kind of nameless fire.
Fang Yihua threw a table on the table and said: This is the ratings of the previous two days. The ratings of "The Love of Thousands of Water and Mountains" are almost falling below 20 points!Since Kang Jianfei held a press conference, many people are now scolding TVB, and even the ratings of variety shows have dropped.
So serious?
Run Run Shaw was a little surprised. Generally speaking, no matter how powerful the TV station is, it will not affect the ratings.
The audience can curse at most after watching the news, which station should be collected or which station should be collected when watching TV at night.
Fang Yihua picked up a bunch of newspapers on the leather chair and said: Look, how do these newspapers be written?What do we say is that we are not fair in competition? What do TVB bully the market?The most annoying thing is that someone from the police just came to ask me and said that I was suspected to be related to the case where Mo Shaocong was threatened!
If you get angry, you can't solve the problem. Think about how to do a good show.Run Run Shaw patted Fang Yihua's arm and said.
Fang Yihua suppressed the anger in his heart and said: I am going to finish "The Love of Thousands of Water and Mountains" in advance, and then launch the Martial Arts drama of Jin Yong.
Run Run Shaw nodded and said: It's also a solution.
Jin Yong dramas have always been a good medicine for TV stations to view, but the copyright fees for Jin Yong dramas are too expensive, and TV stations generally prefer Gu Long dramas adapted with cheap copyright fees.
Like Xiao Sheng, who switched from Lishi to TVB at the beginning of this year, is known for Jin Yong's martial arts dramas, but during his two years at Lishi, he suggested filming Jin Yong's dramas several times, but the TV station rejected it because filming Jin Yong's dramas is too expensive.
When a Jin Yong martial arts drama was filmed, the copyright fee for Jin Yong almost accounts for half of the production cost, and if you are not careful, you will lose money.
(Note: Because most actors receive a fixed salary, the labor cost when shooting TV series is generally included in the TV station's administrative budget. In other words, Feng Huáng Station's average production cost of "Senior Sister Tuo Gun" is 15,000 yuan per episode, and does not include the pay of producers, directors, screenwriters, actors and other staff)
Run Run Shaw returned to his office and took out a cigar and lit it.In fact, he rarely smokes, but recently he was angry with Kang Jianfei, and the frequency of smoking began to increase again.
As soon as Kang Jianfei said what he said at the press conference, it was shocking in the business world of Hong Kong. Many people were waiting for the show with interest, wanting to see how Kang Jianfei, the newborn calf, fought against Run Run Shaw, the big tiger.
Although Kang Jianfei and the major media said Run Run Shaw's name without a name, the insidious description is already very clear, and Run Run Shaw has become a topic of conversation and joke in the circle of rich people.
Some newspapers are concerned about Run Run Shaw's reputation and just talk about things around the corner; some newspapers are afraid that the world will not be in chaos for sales, and even publish Kang Jianfei's words without missing a word.
In the newspaper, Kang Jianfei was compared to Don Quixote who rushed towards the windmill, and was a completely tragic hero and victim.
Especially the Hong Kong Dream mentioned in his speech also resonated with many people, because 80% of the more than 5 million people in Hong Kong have only immigrated in the past 30 years, and they have experienced the Hong Kong Dream together.
New immigrants who have only arrived in Hong Kong in the past 10 years regard Kang Jianfei as an entrepreneurial idol and stand clearly on Kang Jianfei's side.
Because like Kang Jianfei, they are suffering from various discrimination and suppression, and they also hope to succeed in their careers like Kang Jianfei.
As for the Xiangjiang Morning Post, it was not unsuccessful as Kang Jianfei called for, because after the continuous explosive news, many readers who like to read gossip became their loyal audiences, and their sales have been stable at more than 10,000 copies since then.
It can be said that the Xiangjiang Morning Post was also the winner of this incident. Although its editor-in-chief was beaten, the boss of this newspaper made a lot of money.
Zheng Shuying, a woman, was not so lucky. She would be recognized and spit out even when she went out. She had no choice but to hide in Malaysia in shame.
Run Run Shaw is naturally not easy to mess with. He won’t do small moves like Fang Yihua. He has to do it directly pinch Kang Jianfei’s neck.
It is only one of them to find Qiu Degen for afternoon tea today. He also wants to have an appointment with the head of the Hong Kong Electric Inspection Office for dinner tomorrow.
After spending decades in Hong Kong, Run Run Shaw still knows many people.
Make an appointment to have a meal and make a little more work. Although the inspection department cannot directly shoot DreamWorks movies, you can get stuck and cut more at critical moments, making Oriental DreamWorks dying.
At this time, the inspection standard in Hong Kong was very large, but it was much stricter than in the mid-1980s.
It doesn't matter if you expose your breasts and butts, but movies involving mainland politics or smearing the image of the mainland will be shot. For example, movies such as "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", "Cousin, You Are Good", and "Domestic Lingling Paint" that have a great influence a few years later will never pass the inspection by the inspection department.
This is because the Hong Kong and British authorities avoid friction with the mainland, but after the Sino-British Hong Kong negotiations broke down, the British no longer care about so much.
Even if the plot of the film makes the mainland so badly, it will be reflected in Hong Kong. By then, the inspection office will have almost no substantial effect and can pass any film.
But now, the inspection department can find various reasons to click on Kang Jianfei's films, and it will not leave any evidence.
Of course, Run Run Shaw's move would not last long, otherwise he would have used this trick to deal with Zou Wenhuai, so how could Jiahe rise?
At most, it will cause trouble to Oriental Dream Factory for the time being, which will only cause Kang Jianfei to lose a lot of money.
After Run Run Shaw was provoked by Kang Jianfei, he also wanted to play with black things in anger.
But now that the conflict between the two sides is revealed, when something happened to Kang Jianfei, whether it was Run Run Shaw or not, he would definitely be the first person to be suspected.
What Shaw was most concerned about was what Kang Jianfei said, Kang Jianfei was still young and had countless opportunities to make a comeback. Run Run Shaw was already in his 80s and didn’t have so much energy to fight against young people.
It really made Kang Jianfei anxious and burned the TVB's film library, which was a waste of money.
Run Run Shaw said that he was famous, but Kang Jianfei was not a small character who could be easily dismissed, and he couldn't just say he could suppress it.
Hong Kong is not a place where anyone can cover up the sky. At that time, Tycoon Huo was suppressed by the British Hong Kong government. The Hong Kong government directly used administrative means to cut off water and power in the real estate project, but others are getting more and more prosperous now.
The mainland government did not help here. At that time, the mainland was in a turmoil and had no time to take care of the red capitalist Huo Daheng, who was completely defeated by Daheng Huo with his own strength.
Run Run Shaw's secretary knocked in and handed in an invitation: Chairman, Kang Jianfei asked someone to send it!
Run Run Shaw opened it and found that it was Kang Jianfei’s 21st year old birthday party invitation.
Two years ago, Kang Jianfei never invited Run Run Shaw on his birthday. At this time, he suddenly sent an invitation. What's the point of not being disgusting?Run Run Shaw picked it up and threw it into the trash can.
Qiu Degen laughed and said: Sixth brother, you were given a general by that young man this time.
Run Run Shaw smiled while drinking tea: General is not considered a general, but it is indeed a little trouble.
Qiu Degen and Run Run Shaw met in the late 1950s. At that time, Run Shaw was a tycoon in Nanyang Film. However, returning to Hong Kong to start a business is still a poor and a comeback. Qiu Degen was just a self-made small courtyard businessman.
