Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1091 Arrogant enough
Chapter 980 Three

"Chairman Alan should know that recently I have a movie called "Godzilla" that is about to be released in Hollywood."

Little Alan Ryder nodded. After Lin Daoqiu participated in "Late Night Interview", this matter caused a heated discussion in Hollywood.

As a filmmaker, Alan Ryder Jr. naturally also knew the news.

"Universal invested 6000 yuan in the screen this time, but I think it is far from enough for "Godzilla", so I came today to ask Chairman Alan to borrow the screen."

Little Alan Ryder didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to come to him for a screen, is this guy crazy?

It's not that Fox doesn't have its own movie to be released during Christmas, so how could it give him the screen? This is even more absurd than Lin Daoqiu's [-] million price for "Mission Impossible".

"I didn't expect that after a few years, Mr. Lin is still as arrogant as before. Fox also has its own movie to be released during Christmas. There is no extra screen to lend you, and even if I don't have one, I won't lend it to you. Believe me, I've said enough."

Little Alan Ryder didn't even think about it, and directly rejected Lin Daoqiu's request.

He was already arrogant enough, how could he bear the appearance of a guy who was even more arrogant than him in front of him.

"Chairman Alan, do you think I'm here today to make trouble for no reason?"

Lin Daoqiu asked with a smile.

Little Alan Ryder didn't speak, but at this moment he was looking at Lin Daoqiu with a contemptuous smile, which obviously represented his answer.

""Godzilla" is a cross-generational movie. It took me almost three years to make it. If this movie is not good enough, Langmeyer will not take all the screens in one go. Take it out and put it on top of Godzilla."

It sounded like Lin Daoqiu was reasoning with little Alan Ryder, and what Lin Daoqiu said really sounded so reasonable.

But it makes sense, and it's almost impossible to ask Alan Ryder Jr. to cooperate with him just because of this.

"Not enough, just saying this is far from convincing me. You are thinking about what better words to say."

Little Alan Ryder never thought of agreeing to Lin Daoqiu from the very beginning, even when he heard that Lin Daoqiu wanted to borrow a screen from him, he wanted to drive this annoying guy out of his office.

But now little Alan Ryder has changed his mind, he plans to play with Lin Daoqiu, anyway, there is nothing important at hand now, just treat it as a pastime.

"I know Chairman Alan must be thinking in his heart now, I must have lost my mind when I came to ask you for a screen, but if you are willing to give me an hour, I believe Chairman Alan will definitely change your mind."

Little Alan Ryder didn't know what Lin Daoqiu was going to do, but it seemed that the other party was full of confidence.

It was only about an hour, but he wanted to see what Lin Daoqiu could do to change his mind and lend him all of Fox's screens.

…………

After leaving the Fox headquarters and getting into the car, Lin Daoqiu took little Alan Ryder to the post-production company of Universal Pictures.

"Did you bring me here to see a movie?"

After little Alan Ryder entered the screening room of the post-production company, he guessed Lin Daoqiu's intention to invite him here.

"The reason why I was able to make a fortune at the beginning is somewhat due to Chairman Alan, so I would like to invite you to watch a movie today."

"You want to invite me to watch Godzilla?"

Little Alan Ryder knew as soon as he heard it that Lin Daoqiu must have brought him here to let him take a look at the legendary "Godzilla".

Lin Daoqiu didn't deny it, just nodded and admitted it.

In fact, Alan Ryder Jr. is also very curious about this movie, but because Lin Daoqiu and Fox did not cooperate, it is impossible for him to ask the other party to watch the movie.

Since he had this opportunity today, little Alan Ryder would naturally not refuse, he went straight to the middle chair and sat down.

"Well, I would like to see if this movie, which cost 5000 million yuan, can compare to "Star Wars"..."

Lin Daoqiu walked to little Alan Ryder and sat down.

At this time, the surrounding lights slowly dimmed, and the screen began to light up.

At the beginning, little Alan Ryder still looked indifferent.

"It's okay, the special effects are passable, but compared with "Star Wars", it's still far behind."

However, as the plot progressed, the previously indifferent expression on little Alan Ryder's face has become more and more focused.

At first, Alan Ryder wanted to damage Lin Daoqiu while watching it, and make this "Godzilla" worthless.

But it doesn't take long after the movie starts that Alan Ryder Jr. enters a state of engrossment.

He has seen "Star Wars" many times before, and in Alan Ryder Jr.'s opinion, there is no special effects movie in this world that can match "Star Wars".

However, with the passage of time, little Alan Ryder's firm idea began to slowly waver.

When "Godzilla" appeared from the sea, little Alan Ryder was completely shocked.

Until the end of the movie, little Alan Ryder did not say a word.

After getting into the car, little Alan Ryder said nothing, and Lin Daoqiu stood on the side of the road watching him leave.

"Well, did he agree?"

Langmeyer was actually there all the time, but he didn't show up.

Lin Daoqiu looked at the car going away, then shook his head.

Little Alan Ryder didn't give an answer, and left without saying anything. Lin Daoqiu actually didn't know what kind of attitude he had.

Whether to refuse or to agree, or to think about it, before little Alan Ryder gave an answer, it was impossible for Lin Daoqiu to know what he was thinking.

…………

After returning to the company, Alan Ryder Jr. made a direct call and called Landry, the head of the Fox distribution department, to his office.

When Landry opened the door and walked into Alan Ryder Jr.'s office, he found that something was wrong with his boss today.

After Landry sat down, Alan Ryder Jr. briefly explained to him what had happened before.

"Just now Lin Daoqiu came to me and said he wanted us to lend him all the screens..."

"Mr. Lin really knows how to joke. We also have our own movie to be released on Christmas. How could we lend him extra screens?"

Landry didn't think Alan Ryder Jr. would agree to Lin Daoqiu's request.

But after he finished speaking, the serious expression on Alan Ryder's face made Landry feel that this matter was not as simple as he imagined.

If little Alan Ryder didn't want to borrow it, he would never be so serious at this time. What happened?
