Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

"Sister, what did you say? Did I hear it right?" Shi Zhijian stared at his elder sister Shi Yufeng with wide eyes.

Shi Yufeng poured the leftovers from the vegetable plate into a bowl and said, "That's right, I 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, "Sister, you are so good and beautiful, how can the two of them match you?"

Shi Yufeng didn't lift her head, just poured the food together, "I'm really that good? I used to be called a flower in Shek Kip Mei in the past, I know that people are laughing at me!"

"I pretended that I didn't know what it meant, and I was still proud, why? Because I know they laughed at me, so they won't laugh at you again!"

"You say I'm pretty, can I be eaten and drunk as pretty in this world? Besides, I'm still a lame man!"

Shi Yufeng's eyes were red, and she burst into tears. The tears fell on the table. She stopped her hand to wipe the table with the rag, and said after a while, "The lame is a waste! No one wants it! Do I still pick and choose? Four?"

"I'll support you! And Bao'er!" Shi Zhijian stood up.

Shi Yufeng raised her head, her eyes were red, she wiped away her tears stubbornly, squeezed out a smile and said, "Although I am lame, it is not up to you to support me! Besides, when you become a family, where is your wife? , what will she think of me? I can't eat, drink and live in your house for the rest of my life!"

Shi Zhijian stepped forward and grabbed his old sister Shi Yufeng's shoulder, "What do you want to do? No matter if I get married or not in the future, I will live with you, and Baoer, we are a family and will never be separated! "

"Yeah, we and my uncle are a family, we are not separated." Bao'er also stood up sensible and hugged Shi Zhijian's thigh.

Shi Yufeng chuckled, "What are you doing? Playing a bitter scene? I'm so embarrassed!" After speaking, she pushed Shi Zhijian away, then bent down and picked up Bao'er, "Hey, Bao'er, you have to remember, Your little uncle said that he wants to 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 the old sister Shi Yufeng no longer mentioned this matter, Shi Zhijian also said a lot, but there was a knot in his heart. He couldn't help comparing Hu Juncai and Hu Xiuyong. One was glib and the other was crude and straightforward. I can't even think of being my own brother-in-law.

Shaking his head sharply, "This is a nightmare!" Shi Zhijian said to himself.

...

Two days later, Shi Zhijian was busy with the business at Shinhwa Company when Zou Wenhuai suddenly called Shi Zhijian and said that he had something important to report to him.

Without thinking much, Shi Zhijian left the company and drove to the place that Zou Wenhuai had agreed to, but it was a teahouse near Shaw Brothers Studios.

This tea house is simple in construction, and it is built on a high hill. On the third floor, you can overlook the entire Shaw Brothers Studios, so the business is good.

When Shi Zhijian rushed to the private room on the third floor, he saw Zou Wenhuai talking to a gentle middle-aged man drinking tea. Seeing Shi Zhijian appear, Zou Wenhuai hurriedly stood up and introduced: "Mr. Shi, come, let me introduce to you, this It's my old friend and former Shaw Brothers director Li Hanxiang."

Shi Zhi firmly looked at him, no wonder he felt that the other party was very familiar, but it turned out to be Li Hanxiang, who was called the "number one director" of this era.

Li Hanxiang is a veteran of the Shaw Brothers Film Company. He has joined the Shaw Brothers Company since Shao Village was in charge of it, and has made great contributions to Shaw Brothers.

Among the gleaming trophies in Shaw Brothers, which one does not embody Li Hanxiang's hard work and wisdom, which one is not the crystallization of his talent and knowledge.

However, he worked so hard for "Shaw Brothers" for so many years, except for the false names of "Red Director", "Top Director" and "Gold Medal Director", what he got was only a negligible salary. And these remuneration and the labor he has paid, the miracles he has created, are not commensurate in any way.

Li Hanxiang realized that this was unfair. Although he was respected by everyone in the Shaw Brothers Company, he valued him, including the boss Run Run Run. In fact, this kind of respect and respect is equally illusory. No matter how great his achievements and his ability are, he is still not a "part-time director" who depends on others.

The ancients said it well: It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a wind. Although Li Hanxiang thanked the Shaw Brothers for their kindness, they made him stand out and created conditions and opportunities for him. However, at this time, he didn't want to work in "Shaw Brothers" anymore. He wanted to create his own business and set up a new mountain to live the boss's addiction. So, after some deliberation, Li Hanxiang finally decided to leave "Shaw Brothers".

In this way, Li Hanxiang became the first traitor of Shaw Brothers. He left Shaw Brothers and went to Treasure Island in 1962. With the support of film tycoon Lu Yuntao, he established the "League of Nations" film company, and joined forces with Cathay Pacific and the Federation on the Hong Kong side to form a company that spanned Hong Kong and Macau. Taiwan's film major league, in order to fight against Shaw Brothers.

Originally, the alliance of the three was going strong. Who knew that there would be unforeseen circumstances. In 1964, when Lu Yuntao's plane crashed, Shaw Brothers took the opportunity to annex the federal cinema chain and merged into the Shaw Brothers Cinema chain, becoming the largest cinema chain in Hong Kong.

At that time, Li Hanxiang wanted to win Cathay Pacific to strengthen his strength, but he missed the opportunity and failed to find a suitable financial sponsor.

Today, the Cathay Pacific cinema chain has a small share in Hong Kong. The main cinema chain faces Southeast Asia and the Treasure Island region, which is insignificant to Shaw Brothers, but it is a life-saving straw for the League of Nations, which is in charge of Li Hanxiang.

It is a pity that Li Hanxiang has always lacked financial support. He could only stare at Cathay, but he did not have the courage to win.

This time, Zou Wenhuai accidentally contacted Li Hanxiang while investigating the Hong Kong cinema chain. Li Hanxiang suddenly had a very bold idea, that is, to join forces with Jiahe, who is in charge of Shi Zhijian, to win the Cathay Pacific Cinemas together. Against Shaw.

An enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Li Hanxiang understood this very early.

After Shi Zhijian sat down and had a careful exchange with Li Hanxiang, he came to the conclusion that Li Hanxiang was a business man, and success was more than failure!

why would you say so?

As Shi Zhijian, don't say that when the League of Nations was first established, he built his own theater to avoid being stuck in the throat, while Li Hanxiang was stuck in the throat for six years, and it was a miracle that he did not get stuck.

In addition, people like him easily believe that Cathay Pacific and the Commonwealth of Dianmao can work with him for a lifetime~www.wuxiamtl.com~ People like this are either fools or infatuated swords.

Doing business can not be mixed with the slightest personal feelings.

Now Li Hanxiang came over to find Shi Zhijian to talk about cooperation, and he sounded like he was too arrogant. Talking to Shi Zhijian eloquently, he said how popular his films are in Baodao, how popular they are internationally, and how much he has won many awards.

Shi Zhijian knows clearly that winning a prize and a big box office sale are two concepts. Li Hanxiang is good at shooting literary and artistic films. It is certain that he will win the award. The problem is that he fails at the box office. If his art is too advanced, he will be separated from the masses, and only ghosts will watch it.

The box office has suffered successive losses, and now Li Hanxiang is in trouble at the League of Nations on the Baodao side, and even the salaries of the staff are about to fail.

The company was so sluggish that he still refused to let go of his arrogant head. He really thought 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 a matter of flirting.

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, it is often very effective!
