What makes Run Run Run Run Run, a century-old legend, the originator of China film history?

At the beginning of the establishment of Tianyi, it was all a family team. The eldest Shao Zuiweng is a producer and director, the second Shao Yi is good at scriptwriting, the third Runme Shaw is good at distribution, and the sixth Shao Yifu is good at photography. At the beginning of their business, they worked together in Qi Xin to complete all the work, and the company was like a family workshop. His first film "Becoming a Buddha on the Site" was released, which was well received by Shanghai residents. At that time, more than one company robbed the beach movie bowl. "Tianyi Company" was surrounded by iron walls. In order to make a living, the third Runme Shaw wants to develop in Southeast Asia. When he first arrived in Singapore, Runme Shaw with a Zhejiang accent was rejected by Chinese Singaporeans from Guangdong and Fujian. With the help of a fellow villager in Zhejiang, several films of "Tianyi Company" brought by Runme Shaw became popular quickly. Runme Shaw is as busy as a bee. I had to send a telegram back to China and ask my sixth brother Shao Yifu to help me. 1926, Shao Yifu, who just graduated from middle school, rushed to Singapore to help Third Brother explore the Nanyang film market. In the days of starting a business, they traveled long distances in the scorching sun like coolies, carrying film machines and films, and went deep into the farms of many overseas Chinese to show open-air movies. At that time, the projection equipment was still very backward, and the films had to be shaken one by one by hand. When a film is put down, the projectionist is so tired that his back aches and his hands ache. [13]1930, "Shaw Brothers Company" was established, and successively bought the new entertainment cinema and Manwuluo cinema on Meizhi Road to show the new films of Tianyi Company. [ 13]

From 1929 to 1933, the American economic crisis triggered a worldwide economic depression. Many cinemas have to be closed. Shaw brothers decided to stick to it. At the same time, Shao Yifu also realized that compared with the United States and western countries, his silence would be eliminated, so he put forward the suggestion of shooting audio films. After returning to Singapore from the United States, Shao Yifu installed audio equipment in his cinema. [ 13]

1932, he invited Xue Juesheng, a famous Cantonese opera actress, to play the leading role at a high price, became a producer and director himself, and made a sound film "Bai Jinlong", which caused a sensation. Once in Thailand, the audience smashed the phonograph to see if anyone was hiding in it. Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run. This film opened the way for Shao Yifu to make movies on a large scale. The film cost is 6,543,800 yuan, and the screening income in Guangzhou alone reaches 600,000 yuan. This success not only turned Shaw's organization into a safe place, but also made Run Run Run Shaw the originator of audio movies in the history of China movies.

From the mid-1930s to the pre-World War II, Shaw Brothers owned 65,438+039 cinemas and 9 casinos in Southeast Asia. However, the brutal war completely destroyed the huge industry created by the Shaw brothers for more than 20 years. After 1937, the brutal invasion of the Japanese aggressors disrupted the development process of Shaw Pictures. Shaw's business was bleak until it was unsustainable and forced to close down. After the war, Bernard Shaw visited Australia and the United States, and felt urgently that Bernard Shaw's film industry should not only restore its old career, but should re-establish a brand-new career. He is determined to find a place to realize his dream of film career. He finally chose Hong Kong. [ 1] [4]

In the 1950s, Hong Kong had a historic opportunity, and all walks of life flourished, including the film industry. 1957, Shao Yifu officially moved to Hong Kong. At the age of 50, he struggled for a new career. 1958, Shaw Brothers Hong Kong Limited was established in Hong Kong. He wants to seize the commanding heights of Hong Kong, but also to build his own cinema and make his own movies, while the latter is more difficult. The key is to have a photography factory and make high-quality movies. You must buy land to build a factory. Hong Kong is short of land, and demand exceeds supply. He only bought a piece of land in Clear Water Bay. It was a barren hill, razed to the ground by 60 feet, and a film studio was built on it. This is the later Shaw Brothers Film Studio. The project cost nearly HK$ 500,000 only for land price and earthwork. Since then, the films made here have flowed to Shaw Film Distribution Network, reaching more than 40 films every year, far exceeding the film output of other film companies in Hong Kong. [ 13]

In its heyday, Shaw Studios had more than 65,438+0,300 employees and was praised as "Oriental Hollywood" by foreign media. Before Shaw came to Hong Kong, cinemas in Hong Kong implemented a grading system, and local films could only be shown in low-level cinemas. Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run. Soon, Du Qing,,,, He, Yan Jun and other famous directors came; Lin Dai, Li Lihua, Betty Loh Ti, Zhang Zhongwen, Pat Ting Hung, Ding Ning, Chen Ho, Zhao Lei, Guan Shan and other famous actors also came. In addition, Shaw Company has also found a large number of talents in photography, production, makeup and editing, and many playwrights have also applied. Shaw first hired Zou Wenhuai as the editor-in-chief of his film weekly. Film Weekly is rich in content and lively, especially the columns such as "Life of Movie Stars", "Shaw Stars" and "International Movie News", which attract a large number of young people. [ 13]

In this movie city, the Shaw Brothers have made more than 1000 movies. In order to shoot the first shot in Shaw Studios, Run Run Shaw personally selected the script, and finally selected Jiangshan Beauty, which describes the story of Diexin, from dozens of scripts. However, the estimated cost is at least HK$ 6,543,800+0,000, so it is suggested that Run Run Run Shaw give up the film. However, Shao Yifu boldly used Li Hanxiang, who was only 30 years old, as the director, and "Beauty of Jiangshan" became an instant hit, setting the highest box office record of Hong Kong films at that time, and including five awards at the 5th Asian Film Festival. This film not only established Shaw Company, but also made Li Hanxiang famous. Then, Run Run Shaw spared no expense to screen Yang Guifei, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. When butterfly lovers was shown in Taiwan Province, an old lady actually watched it more than 100 times. Various newspapers and periodicals compete to comment on Shaw movies, and Europeans and Americans also order Shaw movies. [ 13]

Since 1960s, Shaw Company has made more than 1000 films and won dozens of awards such as Golden Horse Award and Golden Award. At the peak, 1 10,000 people visit his cinema every day.
