Chapter 31 Discussing the Cinema
Mo Xuan is a person who never procrastinates in doing things. Since he plans to release "Happy Ghost" in theaters, Mo Xuan drove to TVB in the afternoon.
Wireless TV station.
"Hello, I'll look for Uncle Shao Liu." It was the receptionist last time.
"Oh, it's Mr. Mo. The chairman has given him instructions. You can go to see him without reporting." The girl who was receiving the front desk said politely.
After hearing her words, Mo Xuan didn't say much and walked straight towards Shao Yifu's office. He had come to this place many times and was no longer unfamiliar with it.
Looking at Mo Xuan's departure back, several front desks gathered together, "Hey, he is the talented man, Mr. Mo. I heard that he wrote "The Legend of Qin".
"Yes, yes, and others are so handsome, I'd love to marry him."
"Flower fool, Mr. Mo is young and rich and talented. I heard that he has opened a film company recently."
"And I have such a good relationship with the chairman. I will like you and don't look at you in the mirror. If I want to see you, I will like me."
"You little slut"
...
Mo Xuan didn't know what the front desk ladies of the wireless front desk were talking about him behind their backs, nor did he know that he was so perfect in their hearts. However, Mo Xuan wouldn't take it seriously even if he knew it. With his current fame and his current wealth, how could he fall in love with these "vulgar fans"? He is not as deserted as some people.
"Dongdong" Mo Xuan walked to the door of Shao Yifu's office in a while.
"Come in"
After hearing Shao Yifu's voice, Mo Xuan pushed the door and walked into the office. As soon as he entered, he saw Fang Yihua standing behind Shao Yifu and help Shao Yifu massage his shoulders.
After all, Shao Yifu is old, and he likes to do everything himself. He has to deal with so many things every day. Even if he is energetic, he is still not as good as a young man. Therefore, Fang Yihua often comes to help Shao Yifu press his shoulders in his spare time to relieve himself.
"It's A Xuan, come and sit down." Shao Yifu said with a smile when he saw Mo Xuan.
"Thank you, Uncle Six." Originally, Mo Xuan planned to discuss the release of "Happy Ghost" in Shaw Brothers theaters, but seeing that Fang Yihua was there, he did not speak for the time being. This bitch woman has always been inconsistent with him. If she knew that he wanted to ask Shaw Yifu to borrow the theater to screen the movies filmed by his company, he would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.
So Mo Xuan accompanied Shao Yifu to pretend to chat, but Mo Xuan's qi cultivation skills were still not yet mastered, and he still looked worried from time to time.
Seeing Mo Xuan look like this, Fang Yihua knew that this kid must have something to ask for Shao Yifu. Otherwise, based on her understanding of Mo Xuan, this kid was not afraid of heaven or earth. If nothing happened, he would not worry about her here.
"Sixth brother, Xiao Sheng, Wang Tianlin and others probably have arrived. We should go to the meeting." Fang Yihua suddenly lowered his head and said to Shao Yifu.
When Mo Xuan heard Fang Yihua say this, he immediately cursed in his heart that this stinky woman has ruined his good deeds every time. Last time, Fang Yihua used Wang Jing and Wang Yu to make a movie from Shao Yifu to make trouble, and sowed the personal relationship he had finally established with Shao Yifu.
He also heard Wang Jing say that Fang Yihua specifically talked bad things in front of Shao Yifu, sow discord, and said that Mo Xuan deliberately approached Shao Yifu. Although Mo Xuan knew that part of what Fang Yihua said was true, he was not a plant. After being with Shao Yifu for a long time, he also developed some real feelings for Shao Yifu. After all, Shao Yifu treats him well.
Mo Xuan has always been the one who rewards me with national talents, and I rewards me with national talents. Others regard me as grass, and I regard me as a bandit.
"Well, you go first. I have something to do and ask A Xuan to talk about it first. Then go there later. You can preside over the meeting on my behalf." Shao Yifu ordered Fang Yihua.
Seeing that Shao Yifu said this, Fang Yihua had no other choice but to withdraw from Shao Yifu's office helplessly, and glared at Mo Xuan fiercely when he left.
"Axuan, you are looking for me if you have something to do today." Shao Yifu said to Mo Xuan with a smile. Based on his understanding of Mo Xuan, if it is okay, he would not be like this.
"Uncle Six, you are really a clever plan. I really have something to come to you today. You know. I opened a film company some time ago and borrowed Wang Jing and Wang Yu to shoot a movie. Now the movie is about to be finished, but I am suffering from no theaters being released." Mo Xuan planned to proceed step by step.
"You kid, are you planning to let your company's movies be released in my theaters today?" Shao Yifu cursed with a smile. For some reason, he felt that Mo Xuan was quite close to him, and he had gradually regarded Mo Xuan as his old friend.
"Uncle Six understands me. What do you think?" Mo Xuan saw that Shao Yifu had already told him about his purpose of coming here today, so he did not beat around the bush and asked Shao Yifu directly.
"This, Ah Xuan, you have to know that Shaw Brothers has always been produced and sold by itself, and never releases movies produced by other companies." Shaw Yifu thought for a while, and then said hesitantly.
When Mo Xuan saw Shao Yifu's appearance, he knew there was a chance.
"Uncle Six, just agree. This is the first movie in my company, and Wang Jing and Wang Yuke are both Shaw Brothers. After "Happy Ghost" was released, you will have a bright face, and others will also say that this is a movie released by Shaw Brothers theaters. Do you want people to keep saying that Shaw Brothers is a place that specializes in screening bad movies?"
Shao Yifu was quite happy to hear Mo Xuan's previous words, but after hearing the last sentence, he suddenly became silent. He knew that Mo Xuan was talking about the facts, and he could not argue about others saying that Shaw always showed bad movies.
After a long time, Shaw Yifu said in a complicated mood: "Axuan, do you think I can't keep up with the times? Xinyi City and Jiahe make so much money every year to shoot movies. I heard that Jiahe and Xinyi City have invested heavily in blockbusters recently, but Shaw Brothers Cinemas have lost money all year round, and movies are more and more missed. Why do you think this is."
"Uncle Six, I don't know this." Mo Xuan knew why Shaw became like this, but he wouldn't say it, which angered Shaw Yifu. Besides, he still hopes to continue to release movies from Shaw Yifu in the future, and even wait until there is enough funds to buy Shaw Yifu in the future. How could he tell Shaw Yifu the reason?
In Mo Xuan's view, there are three reasons why Shaw Brothers has fallen to this point: First, the rigid production system cannot keep up with the trend of the times, and missed many film talents in the later period, such as Li Xiaolong in the early days, and Xu Guanwen in the later period;
Second, Shaw Yifu's career focus gradually shifted to the TV station, making it difficult for Shaw Brothers to maintain both funds and personnel;
