Prior to this, Li Changsheng had always wanted to completely acquire Shaw Brothers Pictures and Shaw Cinemas.
However, Shao Yifu always insisted on the bottom line, and refused to hand over all Shaw Brothers films to Li Changsheng, but only sold some shares.
Until this year, it became increasingly difficult for his Shaw Brothers films to survive under the pressure of Li Changsheng's Golden Harvest and New Art City.
Especially after his second brother passed away, Shao Yifu completely changed his mind and decided to sell Shaw Movies and Shaw Cinemas to Li Changsheng.
At this time, the price offered by Li Changsheng is of course not the original price, and it is directly lowered to the lowest price.
In this March of 1985, Shao Yifu's dearest third brother Shao Renmei passed away, which was a heavy blow to him and accelerated the decline of Shaw Brothers films.
It turned out that in that time and space, Shaw Brothers stopped film production, and its theater business was transferred to Pan Disheng's Debao Films, and the studio in Clear Water Bay was exclusively used by TVB. Two years later, Shaw officially announced its closure.
Sixty years ago, Shao Zuiweng, the eldest brother of the Shao family, founded Tianyi Films on the Shanghai HiLaugh Stage, and Huang Meidiao won the first battle.
In 1926, Shao Yifu, who was less than 20 years old, went to Nanyang together with Shao Renmei to fight Liuhe, and established Shaw Brothers Company in Singapore.
Thirty years later, Shaw Brothers Xiangjiang Co., Ltd. was established, and the magnificent Shaw Brothers Studios was built in Clear Water Bay, known as the "Hollywood of the East".
Shao Yifu was caught in a shipwreck and drifted with a sampan to survive. He was arrested by Japanese invaders for broadcasting anti-Japanese movies. He was kidnapped by gangsters and extorted money from his son...
Those years of brothers fighting side by side turned into thousands of movies, and "Shaw's production must be a good movie" has been spread in the Chinese world for half a century.
In the 1980s, the box office of Shaw Brothers was not as good as every year, and the production of films naturally dropped sharply, while the wireless TV stations of the same series were thriving.
Shao Yifu only likes businesses that can make money, and it is normal business logic to give up making movies. It is admirable to dare a strong man to break his wrist, but it would be too much to praise him for his foresight and sagacity
In the mid-1980s, the TV industry had a bright future, but the film industry was also growing at a high speed. Both Golden Harvest New Art City and Debao Yongjia Siyuan were profitable. It is a pity that Shaw Brothers, as the leader of the Chinese film industry, failed to grasp the most golden decade after creating so many brilliance.

As a generation of entertainment tycoon, how can he let go of his 60-year screen career.
It's not that Shao Yifu didn't try to save Shaw Brothers. He invested heavily in "Blade Runner" and started filming the blockbuster "Interstellar Blunt", which gave new directors a certain degree of creative freedom. It was released jointly with Golden Harvest Cinemas and signed the film of Jin Lao's works And TV adaptation rights........ I have tried all kinds of efforts, but there is still no way to recover.

The Shaw Brothers went out of business. It is not a matter of course, but it cannot be done. In 1988, the Shaw Brothers and TVB jointly rented Metropolis Film Co., Ltd., which shows that they are not willing to do so.
