Chapter 192 No choice

Which one is more important, whether it is Shao Yifu or Fang Yihua, they have a clear measure of what is more important.

"Mr. Qiao, you may have forgotten that in addition to leasing and selling, we have a third option. Shaw Brothers is the family industry of the Shao family. Some of our family can inherit the theater chain. You should know that as long as the Shaw Brothers studio is closed and only the theater chain is left, the location where more than 20 theaters of our Shaw Brothers theaters are located will definitely make a profit." Fang Yihua said with a smile.

You are cheating!

Qiao Feng didn't say it, but he sneered in his heart. Fang Yihua said one thing, just Shaw Brothers theaters, you will definitely make sure to make a profit, or the one who opened a theater in Hong Kong at this time had not lost money, but Jiang Zhiqiang's Anle theaters only made money by buying western films and playing western films. Back then, he made a lot of war films, and he edited them all together and created a painful war that could sell tens of millions of box offices. The first few people who got the annual box office that year knew how to make money by opening a theater.

However, although theaters make money, someone needs to inherit it. Fang Yihua said that some of the Shaw family inherited theaters. It’s okay to deceive others by saying this, but it’s also a dream to deceive Qiao Feng.

The people in the Shao family seem to have no habit of inheriting their father's business, and this is true since the Shao Yifu and his brothers. Their father Shao Yuxuan is the boss of the famous Jintaichang Pigment Company in old Shanghai, and he runs various businesses such as piaolan and finance.

When Shao Yifu was still in middle school, the boss of the Shanghai Theater "Laughter Stage" was unable to repay the debt, so he only "cut off the "Laughter Stage" and "stop the "Laughter Stage". Shao Yuxuan then sent his eldest son Shao Zuiweng, who was a lawyer, to take over the theater.

Later, the Shao family lost its roots, and only one house and a theater left in all the family business. The Shaw brothers resolutely sold the house, moved their family into the "Laughter Stage," and all abandoned their father's paint business and devoted themselves to the entertainment industry.

Shao Zuiweng himself is a producer and director, with his wife Chen Yumei starring, the second son Shao Estate as a screenwriter, and the third son Shao Shanke was in charge of distribution. Shao Yifu, who had just graduated from high school, founded a "mate" on the set. The eldest brother Shao Zuiweng went from buying and selling movies to playing movies, and later became unique, and established the "Tianyi Film Company" and began to make movies by himself. The Shaw brothers decided to buy a movie camera, and produced the first feature film in Chinese history in 1924, "Becoming a Buddha on the Place". The drama was originally a drama directed by Shao Zuiweng.

The Shaw brothers are all super powerful characters. They were surrounded by peers from developing movies in Shanghai. The brothers went to Singapore to develop, and then developed a world in Singapore and expanded to the entire Nanyang.

Before winning the Hong Kong giant, Shaw Brothers was already the largest film manufacturer and theater manufacturer in Nanyang.

Shaw Brothers movies are almost a brief history of the development of Chinese films. At the beginning, the so-called Oriental Hollywood did not refer to Hong Kong movies, but to Shaw Brothers Film Company alone.

But it is such a largest film kingdom in Southeast Asia, and no one in the Shao family is willing to inherit it.

Especially the Hong Kong Shaw Brothers Company, which is the property of Shaw Yifu, originally had shares of the third brother Shao Renmei, because the Hong Kong Shaw Brothers Company was originally the third brother Shao Renmei, and the sixth brother Shao Yifu jointly opened it, which is not the same as the Shaw Brothers, the Shaw Brothers, who are in Singapore.

At that time, because he was dissatisfied with his second brother's role, Shaw Yifu wanted to take over the production business to stabilize the film source. The two brothers finally decided to part ways in the business. In 1958, Shaw Yifu and Shaw Renmei established the "Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.", which marked the difference between the "Shaw Brothers" and the "Shaw Brothers" who were the elder brother. Since then, "Shaw Brothers" only operated theaters and film distribution, while "Shaw Brothers" was in charge of the production business.

Then the third brother Shao Renmei is not as energetic as Shao Yifu. She delegated power when she is old and basically doesn't care much. Most of the shares are sold to Shao Yifu. By now, Shao Renmei has been sick for a long time and has not had much time left. Shao Yifu has the final say in Shaw Company.

Therefore, when it comes to inheritance, it can only be inherited by Shao Yifu's children. However, Shao Yifu's children have a bad relationship with Shao Yifu and have no intention of inheriting entertainment careers such as movies and television.

As mentioned before, the Shao family seems to have no habit of inheriting their father's business.

Shao Yifu and his first wife had two sons and two daughters. The children were raised by his brother in Singapore since childhood. The relationship was not very close. Later, the two sons took over the board of Shaw Brothers to help his father handle the career. Until 1981, the eldest son Shao Weiming was not satisfied with Fang Yihua's entry into Shaw Brothers and took over the power of the Shaw Brothers, so he withdrew from the board of directors with his second son and moved to Singapore. The father and son have since broken off their relationship for twenty years. The Cold War lasted until 2006. Shao Yifu won the "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival. Shao Weiming, who has always rarely appeared in appearance, suddenly made a high-profile appearance in modern father to receive the award, and was photographed having dinner with his father and Fang Yihua.

Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua naturally didn't know that the father and son would have broken off their relationship for so long, but they knew very well that no one would inherit Shao Yifu's son and daughter.

Of course, Fang Yihua must be unwilling to inherit what they have. If they inherited, how could Fang Yihua still be the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is good at her?

For Shaw Brothers, Fang Yihua had long wanted to give up on the movie, otherwise he would not have convinced Shaw Yifu to participate in the establishment of wireless. In 1980, after the accident between Li's family, he moved into wireless and became the big boss.

Qiao Feng knew these things very well, so he naturally understood that Fang Yihua said that the Shao family had descendants to inherit the theaters and other nonsense.

Another reason for selling and leasing theaters is that if the theaters are still there, Shaw Brothers will inevitably invest in filming, otherwise the theaters will have to pay money and make money in it. Because of the filming, Shaw Brothers' film production business cannot stop. In this way, many elderly people will not be able to cut them off and then they will have to maintain a large investment.

Once the theater chain is taken, the matter will be simple. Without the theater chain, the films produced will not be easy to be released and make money. Naturally, there will be a buffer period of one or two years. When those employees who have not been laid off find that Shaw Brothers have no future and no drama can be filmed, they will run away in a hurry. In this way, Shaw Brothers Film Company can basically achieve the goal of closing down without paying too much.
