Chapter 369 He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world
"It's alright. Jiahe knows that Wang Jin is backed by me, so they won't dare to do anything," Long Zu said calmly.
His tone was calm, but quite confident.
If the boss of Jiahe is clueless, he should have a confrontation with him.
The Dragon Ancestor didn't mind letting the other party understand the vast difference in their strength.
Sometimes, without actually wielding the stick, relying solely on hearsay is hardly intimidating.
Small groups or companies that experience a brief period of rapid growth tend to expand and even try to challenge the established order.
This period was not without its challenges.
Small groups from other places would come to Kowloon and plant their flags randomly, or even steal fans.
As for those large triads, such as the Triads or the Wo Luen Shing, they all behaved themselves and dared not make any rash moves.
Therefore, those small gangs that dared to provoke us on August 810th died very quickly.
People who lack discernment won't last long, no matter where they go. That's just how the world is.
"By the way, Huixiang, besides those ordinary new actors, what other new stars have been signed and criticized?"
The Dragon Ancestor smiled faintly and asked.
Hear the words.
Huixiang revealed a resentful look in her eyes.
She naturally understood what the Dragon Ancestor meant, but she didn't expose him. Instead, she said helplessly, "Of course there are, and quite a lot!"
Huixiang then took out a document.
Upon seeing these, the Dragon Ancestor picked them up without any hesitation and scanned them.
Ok?
Zhao Yazhi?
After seeing a familiar name, even though the Dragon Ancestor felt the name sounded familiar, he couldn't quite remember it.
After all, this era has produced many Hong Kong stars, including many talented individuals, some of whom were not famous but had exceptional acting skills.
Of course, the Dragon Ancestor wouldn't remember so much; without fame, he would have no value.
He's a businessman; he doesn't care about appreciating someone's acting skills.
"Why are they all women?" the Dragon Ancestor asked, somewhat puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Huixiang chuckled.
"Brother Zu, have you changed your taste? Not enough women, you want men too?"
The Dragon Ancestor paid no attention to Hui Xiang's teasing.
Instead, he took the document that Huixiang handed him.
It comes with many photos and a brief description.
The first thing you see (bfcg) is Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat, and others...
These are all well-known figures.
As for the other minor characters, the Dragon Ancestor has at most a little influence.
suddenly.
The Dragon Ancestor discovered a very interesting phenomenon.
Many of the celebrities' profiles above are labeled with the Shaw Brothers Group.
Many of the stars originally working for Golden Harvest Group were poached from Shaw Brothers.
In addition, Wang Jin is taking advantage of the situation again this time.
This group will likely only decline even faster.
After all, the Shaw Brothers Studio is the most prestigious place for training actors in all of Hong Kong.
Although they are not as good as Golden Harvest in making movies.
However, almost all the real movie stars have been trained within the Shaw Brothers Group.
They have their own system, and anyone who goes through the entire process will find it hard not to have acting skills!
Even in later generations, most of the stars and movie stars came from Shaw Brothers.
Therefore, Shaw Brothers got a nickname.
That's the breeding ground for movie stars.
Even if he doesn't become a movie star, he can still achieve considerable success.
Therefore, anyone who has undergone professional training at Shaw Brothers is incredibly popular, and both Golden Harvest and other entertainment companies will fight tooth and nail to recruit them.
……
As for why Shaw Brothers was surpassed by Golden Harvest...
The Dragon Ancestor's lips curled up slightly, and a mocking look appeared in his eyes.
As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!
Chapter 370 Hidden Rules
The Shao family business was owned by Sixth Uncle, but the old man never took care of it; it was always Sixth Aunt who managed it.
How could a stingy old lady provide good benefits to her subordinates?
They exploit people to the fullest extent possible, even forcing many to take out high-interest loans.
It is evident how despicable the Shaw Brothers Group's actions were.
It's fine for a day or two, but years have passed and it's always been like this.
Gradually, some actors and celebrities will become unable to tolerate it, and as long as their contracts allow it, or someone buys them out of their contracts, they will not hesitate to get out of this quagmire.
It can be said that the vast majority of people who left Shaw Brothers were done by Sixth Uncle's good wife.
Therefore...
When the Dragon Ancestor was recruiting concubines, he was sometimes quite cautious.
Although he has a large and successful business, he wouldn't let a bottomless pit continue to affect his operations.
It should be noted that the film industry is now beginning to recover.
Many of the lead actors in the top ten box office hits of the year can easily earn hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Its commercial value is even in the millions.
In this way, everyone had something to look forward to.
only……
The Shaw Brothers were different.
Filming a movie there would bring in well over a few million or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Even if it makes it into the top ten best-selling products of the year and earns fifty or sixty thousand yuan, that's already considered a great act of mercy from the higher-ups.
Not to mention commercial endorsements.
It all went into the pockets of the Shaw Group.
In the short term, the returns appear to have increased rather than decreased.
However, over time, this practice of harming the interests of those below is depleting their potential.
It's only been a little over a decade since Shaw Brothers' peak.
In a short period of time, Golden Harvest and other film and television groups gradually had the opportunity to rise.
otherwise.
Using Shaw Brothers' unique methods for training actors.
It is enough to continue to dominate the Hong Kong film and television industry for decades to come.
There would be no chance for Jiahe Group to rise and develop.
Other entertainment groups are even more forced to survive in the cracks.
Actors who initially wanted to learn from Shaw Brothers have become smarter, signing only short-term contracts, even if they don't receive good benefits, and leaving Shaw Brothers as soon as their contracts expire.
Whether it's Golden Harvest or any other group, their profits are definitely much greater than those of the Shaw Brothers Group.
Even if they don't become famous overnight, they can still easily support their families.
Perhaps he could gain greater fame at Shaw Brothers.
But they couldn't get enough money.
People become actors because of their dreams.
