(the woman who talks about history-No.111) If she survives a disaster, she will be blessed. There is a strange man in China. He was shipwrecked at the age of 24, and almost died in the belly of a fish. He survived, and later lived to be 17 years old. He was knighted, became a millionaire and donated 1 billion yuan to his country! To know how this man is legendary, see the detailed breakdown in this issue. (1) Life begins with "buddy", who is the first legendary figure in China film industry, Run Run Shaw. Shao Yifu, formerly known as Shao Renleng, was born in Zhenhai, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province on October 4, 197. Shao Yuxuan, Shao Yifu's father, was a famous businessman in old Shanghai. He once supported Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary activities and was also a celebrity in Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles. When Shao Yifu was a child, his father bought the famous theatre "Laughter Stage" in Shanghai. However, after Shao Yuxuan died of illness in 192, the Shao family gradually declined. By 1923, only one house and a theater were left in his family business. Faced with great difficulties, where will the Shao family go? At this time, Shao Renjie, the boss of Shao family and a former lawyer, stood up and made a decision to change the historical destiny of the family. Run Run Run Shaw ranks the sixth among brothers and sisters. He has three elder brothers, the elder brother, the second brother and the third brother are named Shao Renjie, Shao Rendi and Runme Shaw respectively, the fourth and fifth sisters are married, and Shao Yifu is an old man. At this time, the boss led his brothers and resolutely sold the only house and moved his family into the "Laughter Stage". Since then, none of the four brothers have followed their father's footsteps in business, but all of them have entered the entertainment circle. If you want to do it, do it thoroughly. Eldest brother changed all the names of the four brothers, Ren Jie, Ren Di, Ren Mei and Ren Leng, and turned them into drunkards, villagers, mountain travelers and yifu in turn, making a high-profile entry into the film industry. In 1925, the Shaw brothers established Tianyi Film Company in Shanghai. At the beginning of the company, it was an all-in-one family team. Boss Shao Zuiweng is the producer and director, and eldest sister-in-law Chen Yumei leads the starring role; The second Shao Yi is a screenwriter, and the third Shao Shanke is responsible for the distribution; Shao Yifu, an old six who just graduated from middle school, has no work experience, so he can only find a job called "buddy" on the set to do odd jobs. Run Run Run Shaw's life begins with "man". (2) Starting a business in Nanyang, almost died in the belly of a fish, and the four brothers worked together to complete all the work in this family-run film company (later Shao Yifu was upgraded to photography). The first film they made was called "Becoming a Buddha on the Site", which immediately caused great repercussions in Shanghai. Tianyi Film Co., Ltd. developed rapidly two years before it started its business, which robbed everyone of their jobs, so other film companies formed Liuhe Film Co., Ltd., and * * * fought against it. Helpless, the Shaw brothers decided to open a second front to Southeast Asia. In this way, the third Shaoshan guest will go to Nanyang. He took an old silent projector and toured the countryside in Nanyang. As a result, several films of "Tianyi Company" he brought were so popular that he was too busy, so he asked his sixth brother Shao Yifu to help him. At this time, Shao Yifu was 19 years old, and he was full of ambition. He went to Nanyang to start a business with his third brother. At the beginning, like migrant workers, they carried movie machines and films and traveled long distances in the scorching sun all day, going deep into the farms where overseas Chinese gathered to show open-air movies. At that time, the screening equipment was still very backward, and it was necessary to shake the film one by one by hand. When a film was put down, both of them were so tired that their backs ached and their hands ached. After some hard work, they finally stood firm in Nanyang. In 193, the Shaw Brothers established the Shaw Brothers Company in Singapore, and successively purchased several theaters to show the new films of Tianyi Company. Later, due to the impact of the American economic crisis, many cinemas closed down. But the Shaw brothers decided to stick to it. At this time, Shao Yifu realized that American and western countries had already produced audio films, and his own silent films would be eliminated, so he put forward the suggestion of shooting audio films. Then, he personally went to the United States to buy audio film equipment. In 1931, 24-year-old Shao Yifu sailed for the United States. Unexpectedly, the ship hit the rocks and sank on the way. However, Run Run Run Run was fated. After he fell into the water, he held a small piece of wooden sampan and drifted on the sea all night. Finally, he was rescued. He came to Hollywood in the United States and successfully bought back the phonograph and other equipment. Probably he didn't think that his survival this time brought him a blessing, and he actually lived 17 years. After the September 18th Incident, due to the unstable situation in Shanghai, Tianyi Film moved to Hong Kong for development and established Tianyi Port Factory. In 1932, Shao Yifu invited Xue Juesheng, a famous Cantonese opera actress, to play the leading role at a high price, and made a sound film "Bai Jinlong", which was a sensation. Once when the film was shown in Thailand, some people were curious and just smashed the phonograph to see if anyone was hiding in it to talk. Run Run Run Shaw will assign a special person to protect the phonograph every time he discharges the film. The film cost 1 thousand yuan, and the screening income in Guangzhou alone reached 6 thousand yuan. This also makes Run Run Run Shaw the pioneer of China's audio movies. At this time, the Shaw Brothers had 139 cinemas and 9 casinos in Southeast Asia. However, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, the development process of Shaw Film was disrupted. Shaw's business was bleak and forced to close down. After the war, Shao Yifu inspected the film markets in Australia and the United States and decided to regain his glory. He was determined to find a new place, start a business again and realize his dream. He finally chose Hong Kong. (3) Building Oriental Hollywood, life began at the age of 5. In 1938, Tianyi Film Company was officially renamed as "Nanyang Film Company". After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, my second brother, Shao Yi, also returned to Hong Kong and renamed Nanyang Film Company Shaw & Son Company. However, the father-son company did not develop smoothly in Hong Kong, and was attacked by two major film companies, Dianmao and Great Wall, in the 194s, so Shao Yifu made up his mind to take over the film business in Hong Kong. In 1957, 5-year-old Shao Yifu officially moved to Hong Kong to rebuild his dream, and his life began again at the age of 5. When Shaw returned to Hong Kong, he bought a piece of land in Clear Water Bay, started the construction of Shaw Studios and established Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.. In fact, this piece of land is just a barren hill. He cut it off by 6 feet and turned it into a flat land, and built a studio on it. This is the later Shaw Brothers Film Studio. The project cost nearly HK$ 5, only for land price and earthwork. However, Run Run Shaw has built a movie empire here. He runs well and advertises for talents in the newspaper. Soon, Li Hanxiang, Wancang Bu, Feng Yueh and other famous directors and playwrights were recruited, as well as famous actors such as Lin Dai, Li Lihua, Ding Ning, Chen Ho and Guan Shan. In addition, he also found a large number of talents in photography and production. Shaw first hired Zou Wenhuai as the editor-in-chief of his Film Weekly, which attracted a large number of young people. In order to start the first shot of Shaw Studios, Run Run Shaw personally selected the script. He chose "The Beauty of Jiangshan", which describes the story of The Story Of Diu Sim, from dozens of plays. However, the budget cost is at least 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and everyone advised him to give up the film. However, Run Run Run Run boldly used Li Hanxiang, who was only 3 years old, as the director, and "Beauty of Jiangshan" became a hit, setting the highest box office record in Hong Kong at that time, and including five awards in the 5th Asian Film Festival. This film not only established Shaw Company, but also made Li Hanxiang famous. Then, Shao Yifu spared no expense to put Yang Guifei and Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai on the screen. Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai was a big hit. When it was shown in Taiwan Province, an old lady actually watched more than 1 shows. After entering the 196s, the films made by Shaw Company won dozens of awards such as Golden Horse Award and Golden Award. At its peak, 1 million people visited his cinema every day. Run Run Run Shaw first introduced the movie star system in Hong Kong, and produced a large number of big stars, directors and famous screenwriters, such as Hu Die, Li Lihua, Lin Dai, Lingbo, Li Hanxiang and Zou Wenhuai. In this movie city, the Shaw brothers have made more than 1, films, which are praised by foreign media as "Hollywood in the East". (4) Building Five Tiger Generals and Four Heavenly Kings. Life began at the age of 6. Later, the Shaw brothers set foot in the rapidly developing TV industry at that time. In 1967, Shao Yifu founded Hong Kong TVB. Since then, his life has started from the age of 6 and entered a new glory. In 1971, Run Run Run Run Run set up a training class known as the "Cradle of Hong Kong Stars", which created the "golden generation" of Hong Kong entertainment industry, such as Chow Yun Fat, Stephen Chow, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Carina Lau, etc., and even the great director Du Qifeng came from this training class, making TVB the world's largest Cantonese and Chinese commercial television station. TVB, under the leadership of Run Run Run Run, put on a series of performances: Shanghai Beach, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Condor Heroes and The Duke Of Mount Deer were born one after another, and five superstars, such as Felix Wong Yat Wa, Andy Lau, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Michael Miu and Tang Zhenye, were created. Actresses include Wang Mingquan, Angie Chiu, Zheng Yuling, Barbara Yung, Chen Yulian, Margie Tsang, Qi Meizhen, Kitty Lai Mei Han and Carina Lau. It is worth mentioning that the selection and title of the "Four Heavenly Kings" in Hong Kong's music scene were also handled by Shao Yifu. In 1973, Shaw also held the first Miss Hong Kong election, which became the most representative beauty pageant in Hong Kong. (5) Married for the second time, Shao Yifu, who has been deeply involved in the entertainment circle since he was 9 years old, is surrounded by beautiful women. He often says that he loves dancing, eating, shopping and chatting with female stars, but he is a person who is very devoted to love. Run Run Run Shaw has married two wives in his life, and they have been in love for many years. He met his first wife, Huang Meizhen, in his youth, when he was still working hard in Southeast Asia, and they got married in 1937. Huang Meizhen gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and the marriage lasted for half a century until Huang Meizhen died in 1987 at the age of 85. After Huang Meizhen's death, Run Run Shaw actually let Shaw Company stop production for one year, mourning for his wife! Fang Yihua, the second wife, was born in Shanghai in 1934. She was a red singer in her early years. In 1952, the two met. After more than forty years, Fang Yihua has been helping Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run and Wireless 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 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. It was not until 1997, the 1th anniversary of Shao Yifu's wife's death, that they were officially registered and married in Las Vegas, USA, when Shao Yifu was 9 years old and Fang Yihua was 63 years old. Run Run Run Shaw became the groom for the second time, and his life started again at the age of 9! (VI) Retired from the Jianghu at the age of 14 In 198, Shao Yifu became the largest shareholder of TVB and became the chairman of the board of directors. At the same time, he made a hasty retreat, which made Shaw's film business shrink continuously. In 1985, he sold all the cinemas. By May 1987, Shaw announced that he would stop producing films. In March 211, Run Run Run Run Run again. He sold his controlling stake in TVB, together with the land in Clear Water Bay, New Territories, to Chen Guoqiang, a close friend of Li Ka-shing and known as the "shell king", for HK$ 8.6 billion. The era of Run Run Run Run Run by TVB, which spanned more than 4 years, officially ended. At this point, 14-year-old Shao Yifu officially withdrew from the rivers and lakes.

Where you come from, where you go. Over the years, he spent all his wealth on charity.
