Chapter 211 0210 [Straight Literary Man, Unbeatable Xiaoqiang! 】
"Sister, what did you say? Did I hear you right?" Shi Zhijian stared at his sister Shi Yufeng with wide eyes.
Shi Yufeng poured the leftovers from the dish into a bowl, and said, "I heard that right, let me ask you, which of these two guys do you think is suitable?"
"None of them are suitable." Shi Zhijian wiped his mouth, and refused to eat, "Old sister, you are so good and beautiful, how can the two of them be worthy of you?"
Shi Yufeng didn't lift her head, but just poured the food together, "I'm really that good? I used to be called a flower in Shek Kip Mei in Shek Kip Mei. I know that person is laughing at me!"
"I pretend I don't know what it means, and I'm still complacent, why? Because I know they laughed at me, so I won't laugh at you again!"
"You said that I am beautiful, can beauty be eaten and drunk in this world? Besides, I am still a lame man!"
Shi Yufeng's eyes were red, and she burst into tears, and the teardrops hit the table. She stopped wiping the table with a rag, paused, and said, "A cripple is a useless person! No one wants it! Do I still have to be picky when I look like this?" Four?"
"I'll support you! And Bao'er!" Shi Zhijian stood up.
Shi Yufeng raised her head, her eyes were red, she stubbornly wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "Although I am a cripple, it is not enough for you to support me! Besides, when you get married, where will your wife be?" , What will she think of me? I can't eat and drink, Lazard, and live in your house for the rest of my life!"
Shi Zhijian stepped forward and grabbed his elder sister Shi Yufeng's shoulders, "What are you thinking about so much? No matter whether I get married or not, I will live with you, and Bao'er, we are a family and will never be separated! "
"Yeah, we are one family with my little uncle, we will not be separated." Bao'er also stood up sensiblely, and hugged Shi Zhijian's thigh.
Shi Yufeng chuckled, "What are you doing? Acting in a bitter scene? It's so embarrassing for me!" After speaking, she pushed Shi Zhijian away, then bent down to hug Bao'er, "Hey, Bao'er, you have to remember, Your little uncle said that he will support us for the rest of our lives, and we will cling to him for the rest of our lives, okay?"
"Okay!" Bao'er nodded obediently.
Seeing that his elder sister Shi Yufeng no longer mentioned this matter, Shi Zhijian said a lot, but there was a knot in his heart, he couldn't help but really compared Hu Juncai and Hu Xuyong, one was glib, the other was vulgar and straightforward, no matter what he thought I can't think of being my brother-in-law either.
Shaking his head violently, "This is a nightmare!" Shi Zhijian said to himself.
...
Two days later, Shi Zhijian was busy with the affairs at hand at Shinhwa Company, when Zou Wenhuai suddenly called Shi Zhijian and said that he had something important to report to him.
Shi Zhijian didn't think much about it, so he left the company and drove to the place that Zou Wenhuai had made an appointment with, but it was a teahouse near Shaw Studios.
This tea house is built in a simple and simple way, and it is built on a high hill. On the third floor, you can overlook the entire Shaw Film City, so the business is good.
When Shi Zhijian rushed to the private room on the third floor, he saw Zou Wenhuai drinking tea with a well-mannered middle-aged man and talking about something. Seeing Shi Zhijian appearing, Zou Wenhuai hurriedly got up and introduced: "Mr. Shi, come, let me introduce you, this It's my old friend and former Shaw Brothers director Li Hanxiang."
Shi Zhijian took a look, no wonder he felt familiar, but it turned out to be Li Hanxiang, the "biggest director" in this era.
Li Hanxiang is the veteran of the Shaw Brothers Film Company. He has joined the "Shaw Brothers Company" since the villagers of Shao village took charge of it, and has made great contributions to the Shaw Brothers Company many times.
Among the large and small gleaming trophies in the Shaw Company, which one does not embody Li Hanxiang's hard work, sweat and wisdom, and which one is not the crystallization of his talent and knowledge.
However, he has worked so hard for the "Shaw Brothers" for so many years. Apart from the false names of "Red Director", "Top Director", and "Gold Medal Director", what he has received is only a negligible salary. And these remunerations are not commensurate with the labor he has paid and the miracles he has created.
Li Hanxiang realized that this was unfair. Although he is respected by everyone in Shaw Brothers, including his boss Run Run Shaw. In fact, this kind of respect and value is also in vain. No matter how great his grades are, no matter how capable he is, he is still not a "working director" who depends on others.
The ancients said it well: It is better to be a chicken head than a wind tail. Although Li Hanxiang is grateful to the Shaw Brothers for their kindness, which made him stand out and created conditions and opportunities for him. However, at this time, he didn't want to work in "Shaw Brothers" any more. He wanted to start his own business and stand on the top of the mountain, so as to get over the addiction of being a boss. So, after some deliberation, Li Hanxiang finally decided to leave "Shaw Brothers".
In this way, Li Hanxiang became the first traitor of the Shaw Brothers. In 1962, he left the Shaw Brothers and went to Baodao. With the support of the film tycoon Lu Yuntao, he established the "Guolian" film company. Taiwan's film major league, in order to fight Shaw Brothers.
Originally, the alliance of the three parties was going strong, but unexpectedly, in 1964, when Lu Yuntao's plane crashed, Shaw Brothers took the opportunity to annex Federal Cinemas and merged into Shaw Cinemas, becoming the largest theater chain in Hong Kong.
At that time, Li Hanxiang wanted to win Cathay Pacific and strengthen his strength, but he missed the opportunity and failed to find a suitable financial sponsor.
Today, the Cathay Pacific theater chain has only a small share in Hong Kong. The main theater chain faces Southeast Asia and the Taiwan region, which is insignificant for Shaw Brothers, but it is a lifeline for the League of Nations under the leadership of Li Hanxiang.
It's a pity that Li Hanxiang still lacks financial support. He can only stare at Cathay Pacific, but he has no courage to win.
This time Zou Wenhuai accidentally contacted Li Hanxiang when he was investigating the Hong Kong theaters. Li Hanxiang suddenly had a very bold idea, that is to join forces with Shi Zhijian's Golden Harvest to win the Cathay Pacific Cinemas. Against Shaw.
An enemy of an enemy is a friend.
Li Hanxiang understood this truth very early on.
After Shi Zhijian sat down and had a careful exchange with Li Hanxiang, he came to the conclusion that Li Hanxiang's scholarly spirit was more than success than failure!
why would you say so?
For Shi Zhijian, don’t say that he built his own theaters to avoid being stuck in the throat when the League of Nations was first established, but Li Hanxiang was stuck in the throat for six years. It is a miracle that he didn’t get stuck.
In addition, people like him easily believe that MP & GI's Cathay Pacific and Federation can work hand in hand with him for a lifetime. Such a person is either a fool or an infatuated long sword.
Doing business cannot be mixed with the slightest personal emotion.
Now Li Hanxiang ran over to talk to Shi Zhijian about cooperation, and his tone seemed to be awesome. He talked to Shi Zhijian, saying how popular his films are in Taiwan and internationally, and he has won many awards.
Shi Zhijian clearly knows that winning a prize and making a big box office sale are two different concepts. Li Hanxiang is good at shooting literary and artistic films, and it is certain that he will win the award. The problem is that the box office fails.
The box office has failed one after another, and now Li Hanxiang is besieged by all sides in the League of Nations on the other side of the island, and even the salaries of the staff are almost unable to be paid.
The company was so troubled that he still refused to let go of his proud head. He really thought that he was an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, and naively pinned his hopes on Shi Zhijian, a "stranger". Such a person can only live in fantasy. Being a boss can only be done for the sake of the street.
However, Shi Zhijian likes this kind of "literary and artistic straight man" who refuses to admit defeat, especially when used as a shield and cannon fodder, the effect is often excellent!
