A great movie recommendation every day
Hey, dear friends, hello everyone! Pippi will tell you a ridiculous Hong Kong film legend today, that is, the rise and fall of Golden Harvest Film Company, which once stood tall and high. Listen, this is a bizarre experience that is earth-shattering and crying ghosts!
For! For! For! For! The four squares slammed down on the screen, like a resounding opening bell. Then the camera moved, and two big red characters came into view, proudly declaring their sense of existence. Tsk, this was the guiding light of the Hong Kong film industry back then, once a buddy saw this Logo, he knew that it must be another wonderful film!
You think, Jiahe back then was a real film and television kingdom. Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Koon-Man Hui, Jet Li...... These top big-name stars are all cultivated by Golden Harvest! Don't look at them rampant in the film industry now, when they were in Golden Harvest, they suffered a lot. Take Bruce Lee as an example, guess what, he was ruthlessly rejected by Run Run Shaw back then, and he was almost cold. Fortunately, the discerning boss Zou Wenhuai fell in love with him and spent a lot of money to invite him to Golden Harvest to film. Hey, if it weren't for Golden Harvest's unique vision back then, maybe he would have missed Bruce Lee's talent gem!
Of course, Jia's ability to see people is nothing to say, but he is too blind to see through people's hearts! Let's take Jet Li's buddy as an example, guess what, when Jet Li became popular all over the world, Golden Harvest actually regarded him as a small role, and Lai Lai owed him millions of salaries! Alas, in the end, the two simply turned their faces and broke up the relationship. I see, if Jiahe had been more shrewd back then, why would he have to offer Jet Li's Buddha well, wouldn't it be fame and fortune? It's a pity, it's a pity!
What's even more interesting is that even Golden Harvest's trump card Jackie Chan was finally forced by the company to deviate from morality and slammed the door and left. And guess what? Brother Cheng spent a lot of money to make a movie called "Spy Maze", but who knew that the release would be a complete failure, and he couldn't even get it back. Jiahe suffered such a big loss at that time, and he was completely tired of Jackie Chan, a money-burning monster, and simply kicked people away. I see, if there is such a money-burning monster investment, the company of Golden Harvest would have gone bankrupt and sucked up the last drop of blood!
Look at it, a former film and television giant Golden Harvest was finally dragged down by his short-sightedness and complacency. is such a trick of eating inside and out, no matter how shrewd Zou Wenhuai's proprietress is, I am afraid she is helpless. Alas, in the business field, it's so profligate! While making a fortune, he also lost the foundation of being a man. Having said that, if you are asked to be the head of Golden Harvest, will you look at it? Management companies won't be short-sighted, right? Haha, just kidding, anyway, Pippi, I admire Zou Wenhuai, after all, being able to make a company to that point is also a great character.
In short, this thrilling experience of Shelving Jiahe, you must already know it, right? A small entrepreneurial foundation, you can grow rapidly when you meet a good boss; When he reached the peak, his vision and vision did not keep up with the pace, and finally he slid into decline. Isn't this a portrayal of many excellent companies in China? So, you should understand by now how difficult the road to entrepreneurship is, right?
Having said that, I hope you can all make a difference, start a big company in the future, and then create a glorious legend of your own like Zou Wenhuai! Oh, by the way, if you want to be the next Golden Harvest boss, raise your little hand for me now! 】
