Chapter 158 #0157【It Seems to Have Missed Something】

When Zou Wenhuai came over, Shi Zhijian stood up to greet him politely, Zheng Shaoqiu didn't dare to push him too hard, and stood up in a hurry. He is now looking for food at Shaw, so Zou Wenhuai is still his immediate boss.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zou, do you mind if I make an appointment here?" Shi Zhijian moved away and pulled a chair for Zou Wenhuai to sit down.

Zou Wenhuai frowned, looked around, and seemed to dislike this noisy environment.

But being invited is a guest, so he didn't care too much. He glanced at the chair, frowned again, and was about to take out a tissue to wipe it, but Shi Zhijian took the tissue first and wiped the chair again.

For the first time, Zou Wenhuai had some inexplicable affection for Shi Zhijian.

The last time we met, Shi Zhijian turned his hand over and played with him between his fingers. Zou Wenhuai was very angry at first, especially today when Shao Daheng came to a grand banquet, and now he is waiting for work at home, and his mood is even more depressed. At this time, Shi Zhijian's courtesy to him made him feel a little respected.

Zheng Shaoqiu watched Shi Zhijian's actions from the side and was secretly dumbfounded.

Speaking of which, Shi Zhijian is only eighteen or nineteen years old, younger than him, but he has always been calm and sophisticated, making Zheng Shaoqiu always think that he is the younger brother. Occasionally, I felt a little dissatisfied, but at this time, seeing Shi Zhijian's attitude towards people, he was convinced. If I were myself, I couldn't think of so much, and I couldn't do it so carefully.

Zou Wenhuai sat down, just as the waiter brought tea bowls and chopsticks over.

Shi Zhijian knew that Zou Wenhuai was obsessed with cleanliness just now when he passed by, so he took the cup, lifted the teapot and rinsed it three times first, then poured 70% of the tea, and put it in front of Zou Wenhuai, "Mr. Save face, drink tea first!"

Zou Wenhuai did not pick up the teacup, but opened his cuff to look at his watch, looked up and said, "Sorry, I may not stay here for a long time, so please speak up if you have anything to say."

Shi Zhijian smiled, "It seems that Mr. Zou is really busy, I invited you over this time to—"

Before Shi Zhijian finished speaking, Zou Wenhuai said: "Is it for the box office of "The One-Armed Swordsman"? Don't worry, Mr. Shi, I, Zou, are not the kind of dishonest people. Since I signed the contract, I will I will definitely be responsible to the end!"

After a pause, he continued: "Although the box office of "The One-Armed Swordsman" has exceeded one million, the box office money has not yet arrived, so please wait for a few days!"

How did Zheng Shaoqiu next to me know these things, after listening to it, he went crazy to fill his brain, what do you mean? Mr. Shi also has a part in "The One-Armed Swordsman"? When did he invest?

Just when Zheng Shaoqiu was thinking wildly, Shi Zhijian said: "Mr. Zou, you have misunderstood. I invited you here not because of the box office split, but because of Qiu Zai!" Pointing to Zheng Shaoqiu who was sitting beside him, "He is now Shaw works, I hope Mr. Zou can see my face and give him more opportunities!"

Zou Wenhuai was taken aback, and looked at Zheng Shaoqiu.

Zheng Shaoqiu hurriedly picked up the teacup, and said to him very politely: "Hi, Mr. Zou! My name is Zheng Shaoqiu, nice to meet you!"

Only then did Zou Wenhuai confirm that Shi Zhijian's invitation to come here was not to "collect debts", but because he was thinking too much.

"Is that Qiu Zai? No wonder he looks familiar. Which director are you talking to?"

"I'm with that...Director Jiang Weiguang Jiang."

"With him?" Zou Wenhuai frowned. Jiang Weiguang is not very famous, but one characteristic is that he always likes to use big stars, such as Chen Baozhu, Lin Jiao, Cao Dahua and others are all his favorite generals.

It's a pity that I don't know whether it's because his level is too poor or his luck is too bad. Even if he uses a big star, the box office is not good every time, so he is honored as "box office poison" and "street director".

Looking back, Zou Wenhuai said to Shi Zhijian: "I'm sorry, if you had mentioned this matter earlier, maybe I could have helped, but now I have a long vacation, there is nothing I can do!"

After finishing speaking, Zou Wenhuai raised his teacup and gestured to Zheng Shaoqiu, "Qiu Zai, don't blame me!"

Zheng Shaoqiu was a little disappointed, but Zou Wenhuai's politeness made him excited, and he quickly drank the tea, "How could it be, Mr. Zou, you are my idol!"

However, Shi Zhijian could see that Zou Wenhuai was in a low mood, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.

If you remember well, Zou Wenhuai and Shao Yifu Shao Daheng finally parted ways because of disagreement in business philosophy. They left Shaw Brothers in 1970 and took away the "four generals" He Guanchang, Cai Yongchang, Liang Feng and Chen Ziqiang. Golden Harvest Film Company.

As for the specific "incompatibility of business philosophy", it is simply an uneven distribution of accounts, and there is also a game against Shaw's power.

Shao Daheng has always been a single hand in Shaw's, and he is wholly-owned in everything he does. In his eyes, heroes like Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang are just high-level "wage earners", not "partners".

The other is the top-down vertical management system that Shaw Brothers has been running for a long time. You can only execute and obey the orders of your superiors, and you must never refuse them. If you do something wrong, it doesn't matter whether you are a high-ranking Shaw Brothers or not, you can easily be knocked out by KO.

As far as Shi Zhijian knows, in the last life, it was because Zou Wenhuai wanted to cooperate with Shao Daheng in filming as a partner, but Shao Daheng directly put him in the cold palace. He first deprived him of the position of manager of the production department, and then let Fang Yihua replace him in the purchasing department The identity of the person in charge directly emptied him, leaving Zou Wenhuai with no real power in the Shaw Corporation, which forced Zou Wenhuai to join other He Guanchang and others who had long been dissatisfied with the Shao Corporation to leave the Shaw Corporation.

Now, Shi Zhijian speculates that a rift may have appeared between Zou Wenhuai and Shao Daheng because of his purchase of "The One-Armed Swordsman." company.

In this case, why not include him?

Shi Zhijian was holding the teacup and turning it, his eyes flickering.

Now that the Shinhwa company he is in charge of has just started, the most important thing to do is to promote and build a brand, and these will cost a lot of money. If you can have your own film company, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?

Is there still a need to sponsor other people's movies?

Is there still a need to curry favor with others and let others insert your product advertisements in the movie?

I am the boss, and I can do what I say, which is really cool!

Thinking of this, Shi Zhijian already had some calculations in his mind, and immediately picked up his teacup and took a sip, then looked up at Zou Wenhuai with a smile, and tentatively said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zou, don't blame me for talking too much, I think you seem to be in a low mood. In fact, I really admire you, the reason why Shaw Brothers can achieve what it is today, in my opinion, you have contributed a lot!"

Hearing this, Zou Wenhuai sighed, picked up the teacup and was about to drink it down, but found that there was no water.

Zheng Shaoqiu had sharp eyes and quick hands, and was about to help pour tea, but Shi Zhijian said first: "How can drinking tea be as enjoyable as drinking alcohol?!"

After finishing speaking, Shi Zhijian raised his hand to the clerk next to him and said, "Boy, serve the wine!"
