Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

Chapter 253 Entering the Zhao Family

"The complete and advanced equipment in Zhao's Film City was extremely rare in the Xiangjiang film and television industry at that time. From the script planning to the final release of the copy, there was no need to rely on external forces like other film companies at that time. Only then can all the processes of a film production be completed, but it can be completed directly in Shaw Studios.” Seeing that Chen Boyang has already walked a little farther, Zhao Liying pondered for a moment and organized the language, and this is the beginning of the speech Get up, "Do you know why the Zhao family went against the traditional rules and spent a lot of money and effort to do so?"

"It's rumored that it's not because of Zhao..." Su Yun wanted to answer subconsciously, but paused when she mentioned the name Zhao Rifu, not knowing how to call it.

After thinking about it, he simply concealed the personal subject, since Zhao Liying should understand it anyway.

"It is rumored that it was to compete with the film companies in Xiangjiang at that time. It was probably the attitude of a raptor crossing the river to suppress local snakes, combined with the dream of creating an Eastern Hollywood, and borrowing from the Western capitalist film production model to carry out one-stop production management. Such a movie factory was created at a high price..." Su Yun talked about what she heard and summarized the news: Zhao Rifu introduced a lot of production equipment that was considered advanced in the world at that time and bought a lot of land to build a large number of construction projects. To make a pie, I definitely want to not be restricted by people in certain aspects, so it will be so big.

Only in this way can we control all the production process links in our own hands and avoid accidents to the greatest extent.

To be honest, compared to the traditional division of labor film production in which the whole production process had to be delayed due to the failure of a certain link at that time, Zhao Rifu's vision of being able to do it all by himself and never share it was really amazing, so that later New companies such as Jiahe and Zhenyicheng, who are capable of doing the whole package, all copy his homework.

"That's just one of the reasons." Zhao Liying shook her head with a wry smile, "Sixth Uncle was in charge of cinemas and amusement parks in Singapore, and if such entertainment venues want to operate well, they must be more unique and incomparable than their peers. comparable features."

"Westernization and modernization were popular in those days, so Uncle Liu's focus on development was big and luxurious. In addition, the Jiancheng Studio, which Xiangjiang Zhao often cooperated with in making movies, became the opposite industry because of the merger of the industry. , if you don’t create a studio of your own as soon as possible, there will be great difficulties in filming.”

"Aiming at Home Appliances' fashion films, we already have the advantage of a lot of habitual audiences. After Liu Shu came to Xiangjiang with a typical playground thinking, he made a plan that Zhao's Studios is more inclined to shoot large-scale costume-themed films. The policy, the route is to build a big factory and make a big movie in order to make a lot of money..."

Su Yun nodded thoughtfully: It seems that it has not been a day or two since Zhao Rifu fell in love with big fights. It is no wonder that after Zhao became the leading film company in Xiangjiang, he would start to develop in the European and American markets.

Moreover, they were all sci-fi movies with big investment and big production, so that it was unanimously judged by the outside world that Xiangjiang Zhao people were stupid and rich...

After all, sci-fi is still a new thing these days. If it’s done well, it’s sure to make a lot of money, but if it’s not done well...it’s especially easy to lose money on the street. At present, it’s more traditional-themed movies. The European and American markets are typical gamblers' choice.

Zhao Liying sighed, "However, the root cause of Sixth Uncle's meeting with Third Uncle to take care of all the links in one go is actually my father."

"Oh? There's a story in it?" Zhao Rifu united with the third brother to seize the power of the second brother. It is an old story that is well known to the older generation. The elder brother is the person in charge of Xiangjiang Company, and Zhao Rifu, the sixth son, is working with his third elder brother in Singapore.

Later, it was said that both Zhao Rifu and Zhao Sange were dissatisfied with the lack of ability of the second brother Zhao, so Zhao Rifu killed him from Singapore and took over the power of the second brother Zhao. Dragging Zhao Liying away from the Zhao family, and then selling most of the theater resources of the father and son to Zou Yunhua's Jiahe, he stabbed Zhao Rifu in the back.

"When Tianyi Company, founded by my grandfather in Shanghai, planned to move south to Xiangjiang, where the situation was relatively peaceful, due to the war, his colleagues in the Hong Kong film industry at that time set off two fires on the set, and all the assets of the company were destroyed. It was burned to the brim." When Zhao Liying recalled these unknown old events, she still felt helpless about the world that was inseparable from the black forces. I just brought my grandma back to the Shanghai stock market for retirement, and then my dad took over Tianyi’s reconstruction business as a matter of course, and renamed it 'Zhao's father and son', and was responsible for film production."

"At the same time, the third uncle and the sixth uncle went to Nanyang, which is now Singapore, and established the 'Zhao Brothers Company', which is in charge of the film distribution business."

"I'm actually quite ashamed to say it. My father is in charge of the finances, so he has always been quite lonely. Film production costs have always been saved as much as possible. As time goes by, the quality of the films produced began to fall behind Nanyang's. Big market demand..." Speaking of the businessman-style stingy character of the first two generations of the Zhao family, Zhao Liying's helplessness became even more serious, "At that time, the third and sixth uncles had barely managed the powerful enemy Lu's in Nanyang. Squeeze, owning more than a hundred theaters and a dozen amusement parks, what is needed is for the production companies on the Xiangjiang side to work hard to produce more good movies, and then counterattack the Lu family."

"For this reason, the third uncle and the sixth uncle directly agreed with my father that they will pay the production fee, and my father will only take care of the filming..." Hearing this, Su Yun probably guessed the reason for the breakup between the brothers: As the saying goes, the reason for a man's failure is either money or a woman.

The third child and the sixth child gave money but did not send anyone to guard them, so they must be paid the difference.

Sure enough, Zhao Liying continued as Su Yun expected: "At that time, Uncle Three and Uncle Six paid 25 yuan for the production of each film, and then my father swallowed [-] yuan when he got it, and the task was to pass it on to his subordinate Zhang The director shoots..."

"Then, Director Zhang swallowed another 15, and handed over the remaining [-] production fee to Director Li whom he knew to shoot..."

"Although Director Li got the least amount of money, he swallowed the most—he swallowed half of the 15 yuan, and the remaining [-] yuan for production costs. There's still a little left..."

Su Yun's face turned green when she heard this: Fortunately, she took care of the few films in Zhao's before, otherwise, if she encountered such a bad thing of swallowing money and subcontracting layer after layer, her career would be directly affected. can be planted in this big pit.

The 25 yuan was exchanged for less than [-] yuan in goods, and it was his own brother and his own family who led the mess. No wonder Zhao Rifu was so angry that he teamed up with his third brother to return to Xiangjiang from Nanyang to seize the power of his second brother. If it was her, She also won!

Now that I think about it again, it seems that I heard that Second Brother Zhao went to engage in real estate after leaving the Zhao family—no wonder, the vampire in the real estate industry has a long-awaited personality.

After telling all the unknown old things, Zhao Liying looked over with piercing eyes as if she had finally unloaded a big rock that had been carried for many years: "Although the Zhao family can now take care of all production and distribution, but after all these years of brain drain, and I've been out of the business for so many years—besides, I wasn't a producer before."

"Even if I can take over all the affairs of the distribution side, I really can't do anything about the production side." Zhao Liying looked at Su Yun very seriously, "But if you are the person in charge of the production side, I will Try to fight once."

Seeing in his eyes that he believed in his own abilities, Su Yun was silent for a while before replying: "Do you know how profitable the real estate industry is now?"

This is really not her aimlessness - when she first came to this era, she had already accurately understood that, following the normal development trend, other than going to some small Southeast Asian countries to rebel and succeeding with shit luck , the benefits of making anything are not as good as doing IT and real estate...

"Back then, Lu Yuntu of the Lu family also threatened that as long as my third uncle and sixth uncle were willing to make an offer, the Lu family could directly acquire all of Zhao's assets in Nanyang, and it would be the kind that would never bargain." Zhao Liying, the owner of the Lu family, couldn't help sighing: If it weren't for the plane crash that directly took away Lu Yuntu and dragged down the entire Lu family, it is still unknown who will be the leader of the Xiangjiang film industry in the 70s and [-]s.

After all, the ancestor of the Lu family was Lu You, one of the four great Chinese entrepreneurs, while the ancestor of the Zhao family back then was just an ordinary businessman with a small fortune.

However, back then, Zhao Rifu still had dreams in his heart, and his thoughts were still on the family's film and television business, so this unlimited check issued by the Lu family was just a piece of waste paper.

"Sixth uncle's silence these years is due to the renunciation of the shareholders in the company and the helplessness of not having a successor. If there is still a glimmer of hope, he will never give up on the Zhao family." Zhao Liying sighed. The management of a large company must be ruthless, and the root cause of the search is to make all employees afford to eat..."

"And these are the human feelings that the Zhao family and TBB's employees can't help but miss even though they know that the wages here are not equal."

Su Yun fell silent again. She didn't understand these principles, and she had seen with her own eyes that Hong Kong's entertainment industry has declined, but still insisted on making movies and TV series.

Even if they have been scolded for bad movies and consumer sentiments, they will never stop-otherwise, many related staff will not be able to start work and have no money to eat.

Looking slowly across the filming crew on the set, the old dormitory buildings that are still inhabited, and the venue with countless traces of time, Su Yun finally said: "With our strength, can we make him refuse the temptation and regain his dream?"

"I am willing to try, and they are also willing to try - just waiting for you." The "they" Zhao Liying refers to is naturally the new generation of the Zhao family in Xiangjiang.

By the time I got here, the sun was already setting.

In the golden and red glow, Chen Baiyang looked at the two people behind him from afar and made a promise.

Busy days always pass quickly, but no matter how busy they are, the spirit of Hong Kong people eating melons is absolutely not the slightest bit tired.

Hearing that Su Yun promised to recognize her ancestors and returned to her clan, and even held a banquet at Fulinmen to recognize her relatives on her real birthday, and the Zhao family seemed to reject Jianing's acquisition because of this—many people couldn't help but feel incomparably impressed by Zhao Rifu's courage Shock.

Jianing is in full swing in the real estate industry, and its big boss, Chen Congying, is a super giant in the stock market. He gave up the cooperation with Jianing for Su Yun's return. Isn't Zhao Rifu too fond of Su Yun, an old lady?

Or is it because... this is Miss Fang's only child?

The good paparazzi stayed at Huang Misheng and the Zhao brothers and sisters many times, but each time they failed to capture their grievances. Mo Na's own mother is very excited...

However, the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family expressed the same attitude towards "Zhao Rifu seems to be refusing to cooperate with Jianing because of Su Yun": Although the real estate industry can make money, the ancestral property cannot be lost.

The Zhao family seemed so stupid that they could give up making a lot of money this time, and I don't know how many people secretly laughed at it.

It wasn't until one day near the end of the year that Jianing was finally revealed that Chen Congying was a speculator and an arbitrage investor in a shell company. It was not only that it detonated another earthquake in the Xiangjiang stock market, but also made those who thought the Zhao family People with a sea in their minds have seen Su Yun's "luck".

And it was rumored that Chen Congying, who owed a lot of debts, bought several lives overtly and secretly in order to escape!

As soon as the news came out, the name Chen Congying directly transformed from a stock giant in the past to a new leading actor in the top ten strange cases in Xiangjiang.

Realizing that the idol he admired suddenly became a thing of the same level as the Rainy Night Butcher and the Tuen Mun Sex Devil, the stock guy couldn't care less about his locked-up stock assets, so he rushed down to the newspaper stand at the entrance of the building overnight I bought a stack of Su Yun's related peripheral products, then turned around and rushed home to replace all the photos of Chen Congying on my altar and bedside table with Su Yun's full-color high-definition front face...

"If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and you have a future!" Seeing this scene, the horse gambler next door immediately showed a look of satisfaction that Amway succeeded, "I said that Mary Su is the rich girl who guarantees quality and quantity! Look at her, she has avoided such a big loss for Zhao before she returned to the Zhao family!"

"That's right, I will believe in Marysu with all my heart and soul in the future, even Jesus can't stop me!" The stock guy nodded desperately.
