“Haha, why did Zou Wenhuai offend Jiang Feng? Did he do this?”Shao Yifu read the newspaper in a happy mood.

The hatred between Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai originated from Jiahe.

I remember that when Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were in Shaw Brothers, Shao Yifu treated them well. He single-handedly promoted Zou Wenhuai from the position of publicity director to the director. Film manager.

He carried out drastic reforms in Shaw Brothers, planned the production of the Huangmei Diao movie”Battle of Cathay”, and created the era of Shaw Brothers’ martial arts. He also hired foreign directors to make Western films, hoping to lead Shaw Brothers to the world.

It can be said that he has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements and contributed to the success of Shaw Brothers. He made great contributions to dominating Hong Kong.

And he was also known as”Shao Laoliu No. 2″ at Shaw Brothers.

However, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

After Shaw Brothers gradually dominated the Hong Kong film industry, and after losing foreign enemies, internal conflicts began to erupt. Come out.

Although Zou Wenhuai was the second-ranking figure in Shaw Brothers at that time, he had three general managers to check and balance him, and Shao Yifu never promoted him.

He was treated as”first-class talent, third-class position, and special rights” Strategy.

In 1969, Shao Yifu’s confidante Fang Yihua entered Shaw Brothers, and Zou Wenhuai lost power. Resentful, he left Shaw Brothers with He Guanchang and other friends and founded Jiahe.

This behavior was regarded as betrayal by Shao Yifu.

Immediately afterwards, it was the first stage for the two of them.

At that time, Jiahe had limited funds, and the office space was rented, with only enough space for a few desks. The first film”Dragon” received a mediocre response.

In order to attract the market, Zou Wenhuai planned to film”The One-Armed Sword Fights the Blind Man”.

However,”The One-Armed Sword” was Shaw Brothers’ golden signature at the time, so how could it be allowed to be used by Zou Wenhuai? So, Shaw Brothers began to sue Jiahe, and the lawsuit became one after another. For more than a year, the litigation fees for lawyers alone have reached millions.

For Jiahe, which has limited funds, it is undoubtedly worse.

Even during this period,”Knives Don’t Spare No One” was launched.》、《Kinugawa》、《The performance of”The Deadly Golden Sword” and other films were not good.

Jiahe, which was financially weak, was in an extremely dangerous situation.

In times of crisis, opportunities also arise.

I unexpectedly met Li Xiaolong and planned to film”Tangshan Brother”. It has already caused a sensation in Hong Kong and set a record for the highest box office since the opening of Hong Kong.

It was precisely because of Li Xiaolong that Jiahe, which was originally facing bankruptcy, recovered in an instant. Then Li Xiaolong filmed”Fist of Fury” for Jiahe.》、《”The Way of the Dragon” has set box office records in Hong Kong again and again, and Li Xiaolong’s influence has spread all over the world.

This is the third reason.

Xu Yiwen, who rose to fame in Shaw Brothers with”The Great Warlord”, is known as the”stern-faced comedian”.

In 1974, he approached Shaw Brothers with a script, but Shaw Brothers rejected his request for independent production and distribution. Xu Yiwen then switched to Golden Harvest. Zou Wenhuai not only agreed to share the profits equally with Xu Yiwen, but also assisted him in establishing the Xu Brothers Film Company and filming”Double Stars” with pure Cantonese dialogue.

As a result,”Double Star” broke the box office record of all Li Xiaolong’s films during his lifetime, and also created a precedent for citizen comedy in Hong Kong.

Not only did the Hui Brothers’ films top the annual box office charts four times, they also became a source of capital for Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers to compete with each other.

Outsiders all laughed at Shao Laoliu, saying that he would never take off his antlers even if he caught a deer.

Many years later, Shao Yifu looked back and thought that he had only misjudged two people in his life.

One is Li Xiaolong, and the other is Xu Yiwen.

These two people were the turning point for Jiahe’s survival and development.

It can be said that because Golden Harvest created the independent producer system, it not only shook the foundation of Shaw Brothers movies, but also hollowed out Shaw Brothers movies.

A large number of film directors and movie stars have switched jobs to Jiahe.

Coupled with the shrinking of Shaw Brothers in the film market and the increase in radio stations, it eventually led to the bankruptcy of Shaw Brothers Films.

But this feud did not end with the closure of Shaw Brothers Movies.

Therefore, when Shao Yifu saw all kinds of disgusting and unfavorable news about Zou Wenhuai, he was very happy.

Fang Yihua, who was behind him and helping to squeeze his shoulders, also smiled and said:”This is enough for Zou Wenhuai to drink a pot, and he will peel off his skin even if he doesn’t die.”

Shao Yifu smiled.

Continue reading the newspaper.

After pinching for a while, Fang Yihua lowered his head and asked:”Tell me, why did Zou Wenhuai offend Jiang Feng? The two of them have nothing in common in business, but they provoked him to do this in the newspaper.”

Fortunately, Jiang Feng was not here, otherwise he would definitely have It’s none of his business to say it’s unfair.

It was all done by his subordinates, he just became the scapegoat.

When Shao Yifu heard her question, he gently put down the newspaper in his hand, took a sip from the tea cup in front of him, and then said slowly:”I guess Jiang Feng is planning to enter the film industry, find Jiahe, or become a shareholder. Invest in Jiahe, or make an acquisition”

“It is estimated that the two parties did not reach an agreement, so they were angry.”

“No way? Is Jiang Feng so stingy? Fang Yihua didn’t believe it, frowned and said,”I saw him last time, and I don’t think he is such a person.””

“Regardless of whether he is such a person or not, right now, Zou Wenhuai is probably peeling off his skin. Shao Yifu said with a smile.

“Then should we help Jiang Feng and make this fire even brighter? Fang

Yihua asked.

Compared with newspapers, TV stations have greater influence.

Shao Yifu shook his head:”Forget it, let’s not get involved and let them fight on their own.””

If it were before, Shao Yifu would definitely be in trouble.

But with the closure of Shaw Brothers Movies and focusing on the development of TV stations in recent years, the more than ten years of grudges between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have long since been closed with the closure of Shaw Brothers Movies. The smoke disappeared.

The hatred faded.

Moreover, now adding insult to injury can easily arouse the resentment of people in the circle.

It is better not to intervene and let Jiang Feng and Zou Wenhuai fight.

Why not just sit on the sidelines and watch the two tigers fight?…….

Jiahe.

As usual, Zou Wenhuai came to the office and just sat down.

Pick up the newspaper on the table.

Looked up.

He has a habit of subscribing to the top newspapers in Hong Kong every day, especially the Sing Tao, Oriental and other sections.

Recently, he also found someone to deliver the New World Daily to his office every day.

Through these newspapers, one can learn about the major events happening in Xiangjiang, and the other is to check whether there is any unfavorable news about Jiahe through the entertainment sections of these newspapers….

It’s okay to watch Dongfang and Xingdao.

When he picked up the New World Daily and saw the news in the entertainment section, Zou Wenhuai’s face suddenly changed.

Then, his face became even more distorted.

Anger suddenly rushed to the top of my head

“Bang!”

Zou Wenhuai suddenly stood up from the chair, slapped the table hard, and cursed:”Pu, your mother.~~”

At this time, the door was pushed open, and He Guanchang walked in with an ugly expression.
