Chapter 168 CH 0167【You Understand Me】
Faced with Shao Daheng's question, Shi Zhijian held up his red wine glass calmly, took a sip, then put down the wine glass again, raised his head and said to Shao Daheng: "Uncle Six, I know you are joking, but this joke It really scared me! I was so scared that I had to drink some wine to suppress my shock."
These words are impeccable!
In particular, Shi Zhijian's address as "Sixth Uncle" naturally brought him closer to Shao Daheng, and he regarded himself as a junior.
Then he said that Shao Daheng was telling a joke and directly left a step for each other.
The last sentence said that I was frightened and had to drink alcohol to subdue the fright, and it vividly expressed the behavior that a junior should have after being frightened.
At this moment, even if Daheng Shao really wanted to eat up Shi Zhijian's share of the box office, he still had to take his big face into consideration.
Shao Daheng didn't change his face.
Mr. Qiu next to him took a serious look at Shi Zhijian for the first time, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
For Zhou Duwen, Shi Zhijian's answer was very shameless. The title "Sixth Uncle" is generally qualified to be called by Shao Daheng's acquaintances, so what are you? !
Zou Wenhuai watched his nose, his nose, and his heart. For him, he should try to be neutral tonight.
"Where is Mr. Shi's ancestral home?" Shao Daheng asked.
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly: "My ancestral home is Ningbo, and I heard that Sixth Uncle's ancestral home is also Ningbo, so we are all 'You Baoren'!"
Shi Zhijian's awkward Ningbo dialect made Zhou Duwen almost laugh, but when he looked back at Shao Daheng, he held back immediately.
Shao Daheng smiled, "Really? But how did I hear that you, like that Hua Inspector Lei Luo, are all 'Jia Ji Lang'?"
"Jiajilang" means "one of our own" in Chaozhou dialect.
After the diorama was dismantled, Shi Zhijian remained calm and composed, "My grandfather Ningbo, my old man was born in Chaozhou!"
The corner of Zhou Duwen's mouth twitched, is that okay?
"Mr. Shi is really alert, I was indeed joking with you just now." Daheng Shao brought the subject back.
"Since we, Shaw Brothers, have signed an agreement with you, we will definitely implement it according to the content of the agreement. Please rest assured!"
"Thank you Uncle Liu, but your joke just now really scared me."
"Young people should be more courageous." Shao Daheng seemed to be encouraging the younger generation, "But I'm curious about one thing, are you interested in movies?"
Shi Zhijian nodded, "It is estimated that there are not many people in Hong Kong who are not interested in movies, especially Shaw Brothers movies!"
Shi Zhijian's words secretly praised Shaw Brothers.
Daheng Shao was very useful.
"So what do you think of today's film industry?"
This question is rather general.
It can be deep or shallow.
It can be answered in one sentence, or it can be long and eloquent.
Zou Wenhuai next to him pushed his glasses and began to think about this question.
Zhou Duwen also started to use his brain. If he was asking the question, how should he answer it?
Only Mr. Qiu looked at Shi Zhijian with interest.
Shi Zhijian has been waiting for someone to ask this question. You must know that he was also a fan of Hong Kong movies in his previous life, and he also knows the basics of Hong Kong movies.
"Sixth Uncle, Hong Kong films will have a golden age for 30 years in the future! But after 30 years, Hong Kong films will fall into a slump and eventually perish!"
Shi Zhijian let out a thunderous sound, directly igniting the scene.
Shao Daheng's face changed, not to mention the others, they all looked at Shi Zhijian in surprise.
Because Shi Zhijian's "prediction" is too bold!
Hong Kong movies will have 30 golden years!
Thirty years later, it will go to extinction!
Zou Wenhuai thought that Shi Zhijian was too courageous to say anything.
Zhou Duwen thinks that Shi Zhijian is talking nonsense. Just now a dead ghost appeared in his dream, and now he is pretending to be a ghost. He also predicts that Hong Kong will be 30 years old. It is crazy!
Shao Daheng's reaction was that when Shi Zhijian spoke, his tone was firm and his expression was natural, especially his eyes were piercing. He didn't seem to be talking nonsense. Combined with his previous impression of Shi Zhijian, he was a calm and experienced young man, so he shouldn't be talking nonsense. That's right.
As for Mr. Qiu next to him, he held up his red wine glass and took a sip for the first time, but his gaze was fixed on Shi Zhijian from the beginning to the end, without falling on the wine glass.
"Hong Kong movies are in a period of rising box office. Now it is unimaginable that the box office will break one million. In the future, the box office will break two million, three million, four million, five million, or even ten million. possible!"
"The hidden energy of Hong Kong movies has not been fully released, and the types of movies have yet to be discovered. In the future, countless big stars will be popular throughout Southeast Asia, and even Hollywood!"
"In order to cultivate big stars, the best way is to set up artist training classes on TV stations, let them play tricks on the small screen to accumulate experience, and wait until the acting skills are mature, then wash away the TV smell and focus on the film market!"
Shi Zhijian looked straight at Shao Daheng, and his tone was affirmative, but he said these words directly looking at Shao Daheng.
Shao Daheng's expression remained unchanged, and he did not express his opinion.
Zhou Duwen couldn't help laughing and said: "Open artist training classes? Of course, starting a company is to make money. Who has the time to train a large group of young people? Besides, these young people's wings are hard, what should they do if they fly? Do you want to make a wedding dress for someone else?"
Zhou Duwen was actually using this sentence to satirize Zou Wenhuai. It was Zou Wenhuai who signed the buyout agreement with Shi Zhijian inadvertently at the beginning, so that Shao Brothers lost his eyes and lost the movie "One Armed Sword".
"Mr. Zhou, since we are going to make a film, we need to take a longer view! It is impossible for an actor to stay in the same company for the rest of his life. That would be detrimental to both parties. Fish can only be raised in running water, just as Hong Kong cannot be dominated by a single film company!"
"Shaw Brothers used to be able to compete with MP & GI, but with the closure of MP & GI, Shaw Brothers is now in full swing, but the quality of the films, as well as the types of development are much less than before. Why is this so? It is lack of competitiveness! The actors are the same ! This is the famous 'catfish effect'!"
"Uh, what effect?" Zhou Duwen was taken aback.
The others also looked at Shi Zhijian curiously.
Shi Zhijian was taken aback. These people don't even know what the "catfish effect" is, do they?
Helpless, Shi Zhijian had no choice but to popularize the term "catfish effect" patiently again.
After listening to Shi Zhijian's explanation, the surrounding air froze for a while.
Shao Daheng was calm on the surface, but in fact he was stunned by Shi Zhijian's imagination of breaking through the Milky Way in the sky.
In particular, Shi Zhijian proposed to set up an "artist training class" on the TV station, which is a great secret hidden deep in Shao Daheng's heart.
He has never told this secret to anyone, not even those closest to him.
But I heard it from Shi Zhijian.
The shock was extremely powerful.
So much so that Shao Daheng had to look at Shi Zhijian again, his eyes softened instantly, and three words popped up in his heart: "You understand me!"
