Zou wenhuai replied somewhat sour, "Shao's family is now dominant, and the first soup is naturally allowed to taste."

Looking at Zou wenhuai's angry expression, Gao Xian almost laughed.

You know, in the first half of this year, Zou wenhuai was still the general manager of Shao brothers film company with less than one person and more than a thousand people. As a result, his identity has changed and his tone of voice has changed greatly. As expected, he should answer that sentence and his ass decides his head.

Zou wenhuai left Shao brothers film company and set up Jiahe film company with his followers. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that it was a sensation in Xiangjiang, but it definitely shocked the Xiangjiang film industry.

Since Gao Xian intends to invest in the cultural industry, he naturally has a serious understanding of the situation in this regard.

For Zou wenhuai and Shao Yifu turned against each other, the reaction of insiders can generally be described as "schadenfreude", and a witty saying spread, "a chicken dies and a chicken crows, which makes the sixth uncle restless."

The reason for this phenomenon is not because Shao Yifu failed.

If you think about it a little, you can know that Shao Yifu is already a successful businessman at this stage. How can he not be sophisticated.

In fact, Shao Yifu is quite recognized in the business circle.

For example, Xiangjiang textile tycoon Chen Tinghua is not only his hometown, but also a good friend for many years.

The problem lies in Shao Yifu's independence in the film industry.

Shao Yifu, who only likes commercial films, can be regarded as instilling his box office value theory into every corner of Shao's film Kingdom, and has released the arguments of "high and few sunny spring and snow is the box office poison", "making films is to make money, is to do business", "entertainment films. Not art films", and so on.

Shao Yifu's "vulgar" practice of wantonly "desecrating" noble film art and "belittling" it to pure commercial behavior is bound to offend a large number of people in the circle.

On the other hand, Shao Yifu made his peers suffer by his sophisticated means in cracking down on his competitors.

As a result, insiders who usually can't get vent now naturally have to make a lot of sarcastic remarks, and the media have followed suit.

A chicken dies and a chicken crows, which makes uncle Liu restless.

"One chicken" in front refers to International Film Industry Co., Ltd., namely Dianmao, which was once the great enemy of Shaw Brothers film company.

It should be pointed out that Shao's film foundation is not only in Xiangjiang, but also in Southeast Asia. It involves production, distribution, theater and other fields. Xiangjiang's position focuses more on production and the wind vane of the box office.

The business routine of Dianmao is basically the same.

As a result, the two sides fought with sparks, such as poaching each other, scrambling to make movies on the same subject and other competitive means, emerging one after another.

If Lu Yuntao, the boss of Dianmao, had not encountered an air crash, Shao Yifu might not have been able to achieve today's brilliant film kingdom.

From Gao Xian's point of view, Shao Yifu is lucky.

Because at that time, Shao Yifu and Lu Yuntao both went to Baodao to participate in the Golden Horse Award campaign, but according to the organizer's "view the scenery" schedule, the former chose to go to Kinmen and the latter chose to go to Hualien, which was a tragedy.

It is most appropriate to use Zhang Shicheng, who lost the world at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, to annotate this situation by saying to Zhu Yuanzhang that "the sun shines on you, but not me".

Once Lu Yuntao died, Dianmao, who lost his backbone, was reorganized into Cathay Pacific Organization Xiangjiang Co., Ltd. and began to decline. He could only watch the Shao brothers dominate until he closed his production business this year.

However, on the occasion of withdrawing from the historical stage, Cathay Pacific did not do anything, but disgusted Shao Yifu and gave his set to Zou wenhuai's Jiahe to expand the capital against Shao.

You know, this operation is equivalent to supporting - whether Xiangjiang's film company has its own studio is essentially different.

Even if Zou wenhuai's talent is outstanding, if he does not get the "asset enemy" action of Cathay Pacific, he may really be consumed alive in the entrepreneurial stage.

Because of this, the outside world held the hope of success in case, and did not regard Zou wenhuai as other people who had fled from Shao before, giving a "high" evaluation of "one chicken dies, one chicken crows, and the sixth uncle is restless".

No matter which chicken dies or which chicken lives, Gao Xian only knows that if Shao brothers film company is dominant in Xiangjiang and covers the sky with one hand, his plan to make money through Xiangjiang film industry will be hindered.

For example, in order to shoot 72 tenants, Shanghua culture rents a studio, equipment, props and so on. When it goes to the Shao brothers, it will inevitably encounter shop bullies, while Jiahe is warmly entertained, and even the boss Zou wenhuai will come out to accompany it.

It can also be seen that even with the secret support of Cathay Pacific institutions, Jiahe's still in a very difficult situation.

How hard it is to start a business.

In fact, Zou wenhuai's departure from the Shao brothers and his independence may not be the personal development vision he planned when he joined the Shao brothers. It can only be said that the situation dictated.

To put it bluntly, the mystery is that Zou wenhuai is doomed to a dead end because he has been stuck by Fang Yihua on financial issues and is fighting a war with each other.

Just imagine, between the housekeeper and the concubine, which side will the master choose to trust?

Gao Xian did not laugh at Shao Yifu's unclear employment as the outside world, but could understand the idea of being a superior.

More than ten years ago, when Shao brothers film company was still Shao film company, the members of the Shao family who took care of the company in Xiangjiang were Shao village, Shao Yifu's second brother, and Shao Yifu presided over the party in xingjiapo.

After Lu Yuntao established Dianmao in Xiangjiang, Shao's film company was tired of dealing with it, which made shaocun people somewhat frustrated with the film.

At that time, real estate fever was just rising in Xiangjiang, so people in shaocun also fried land.

Shao Yifu, who opposed this, came to Xiangjiang, bought the shares held by Shao villagers, and then reorganized Shao's film company into Shao's brothers film company with his third Brother Shao Renmei. Since then, Xiangjiang film industry has entered the era of competition between Dianmao and Shao's brothers.

The reason why Shao Yifu was able to reverse the previous decline was not only because he had been engaged in the film industry for many years and was diligent in reviewing the script, but also because of the reuse of talents.

There are many good stories in this regard.

For example, at a celebration banquet of the Shaw Brothers film company in the early 1960s, Jiang Xiuhua, the mother of big star Lin Dai, proposed a toast to Shao Yifu, who declined on the grounds that he was too drunk.

The Cheng family is not ordinary people. Although her husband is no longer a senior official, Mrs. Cheng, Jiang Xiuhua, is still very angry. In a rage, she spilled wine on Shao Yifu's face, and the whole audience was in an uproar.

How did Shao Yifu react?

He just smiled and said as if nothing had happened: "Ms. Jiang is drunk. Help her to have a rest."

In a word, the embarrassing scene was resolved.

Lin Dai, who knew her mother was rude, was naturally convinced by Shao Yifu's kuanhong. From then on, she worked for Shao brothers film company wholeheartedly.

For another example, Wang Yu, who became popular with "one armed knife", became a superstar. After being praised as a superstar, he became angry and pretentious. He boasted that he was the first fist in the world and often caused trouble. Many employees of Shao brothers film company were opposed by his old fist.

Even one day, Wang Yu had a temper attack. He smashed things and yelled at the canteen of Shao brothers cinema. The meal was bad and the boss was lonely and cold.

Just at this time, Shao Yifu passed by the canteen, but the boss pretended that nothing had happened and went straight to the administration building, leaving Wang Yu to yell and scold there.

However, one thing is that Shaw has a big stomach and can create opportunities for directors and actors to display their talents. That is in the face of "making money", which does not mean that he is equally tolerant of Zou wenhuai and does not apply balanced management.

The Shao brothers' cinema is so large that there are hundreds of people. Each of them is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If you don't pay attention, tens of thousands of yuan can be confused by seemingly reasonable excuses.

What's more, when Shao Yifu came to Xiangjiang to host the Shao brothers film company more than ten years ago, he had entered the year of destiny. No matter how diligent and capable he was, he could not escape the objective law of unforgiving years.

In this case, Shao Yifu needs a most trusted close friend to replace himself who is not energetic. He implements his imperial mind skill in Shao brothers film company to balance the forces of all departments within the company.

As a result, Fang Yihua rose strongly, and Zou wenhuai became a representative who was suppressed by default.

On the other hand, Zou wenhuai, who regards the rule of "accompanying a king like a tiger" as having nothing, is not a good man or woman.

With outstanding ability, he has his own small hill in Shao brothers film company. He often takes a group of Shao brothers' backbone out for lunch on the grounds of poor food in the canteen of Shao brothers cinema, which is then called "lunch club".

When the confrontation between Zou wenhuai and Fang Yihua, who is actually Shao Yifu's agent, became more and more serious, Shao Yifu naturally thought that Zou wenhuai was unwilling to surrender and had a rebellious heart.

In the end, right and wrong are meaningless. Only the "spoiled Concubine" wins in the form of carrying the pot, and the "housekeeper" loses in the form of running away, while the big boss behind the scenes quietly examines the stability of the film kingdom.

After feeling Zou wenhuai's deep resentment against his old owner, Gao Xian said tentatively, "did Jiahe not have the idea of tasting this soup?"

"Although I haven't heard the specific price of this soup, it must be very expensive." Zou wenhuai smiled bitterly. "Moreover, Mr. Gao must have seen the report in the newspaper. Shao is trying to crush Jiahe with a lawsuit. I'm really too busy."

Gao Xian nodded slightly and made a judgment in his heart: after all, Jiahe is still in a difficult situation and is not rich enough to spend a lot of money to test his way.

It's easy to do without money!
