Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1095 The Third House

Although little Alan Ryder has never cooperated with Lin Daoqiu, the two have only met a few times.

But in his eyes, Lin Daoqiu is definitely not a person who can be easily satisfied.

Especially now that the power of "Godzilla" has exploded, everyone in North America is overwhelmed by it.

Even those audiences who don't like science fiction films are drawn into the theater by their relatives and friends to watch them.

Outside the theater where "Godzilla" was shown, there was a long queue of people, even from the street to the end of the street.

Many viewers who have already watched "Godzilla", the first thing they do when they leave the theater is to immediately turn around and queue up. They seem to be possessed and want to watch it again.

At the same time, at the moment when "Godzilla" was showing, Lin Daoqiu didn't turn on the air conditioner in the hotel, nor did he go to the beach to bask in the sun.

Instead, he ran to Warner's headquarters and came to chat with Ashley.

Lin Daoqiu's first film released in Hollywood was released by Warner, and four years have passed in a blink of an eye.

"Mr. Lin, long time no see."

Ashley doesn’t like Lin Daoqiu, he doesn’t like this guy very much.

Although Lin Daoqiu helped Warner make a fortune at the beginning, but later because the copyright of "Mission Impossible" failed to compete with Fox, Ashley's perception of Lin Daoqiu became very bad.

But later, Lin Daoqiu chose to cooperate with Universal, filming "Home Alone", "The Mummy", "Tomb Raider", and now "Godzilla".

These films became more and more popular, and Lin Daoqiu became a well-known film master in Hollywood and even the world.

Looking back at the beginning, if I had kept Lin Daoqiu in Warner, then it would be Warner who dominated the limelight now, not Universal.

"Mr. Ashley, after four years, you still look as young as ever."

After Lin Daoqiu stepped forward and shook hands with Ashley, the two sat down opposite each other.

Ashley didn't understand why Lin Daoqiu suddenly ran to Warner to meet him at this time, because he wanted to show off his might and ridicule him?See your own jokes?Is there any other purpose.

"Actually, I came to you today because I want to discuss something with you."

"Mr. Lin, please tell me, if there is anything I can do to help you, I will do my best."

Ashley nodded with a smile, but he kept wondering what Lin Daoqiu's purpose in coming to him was.

"I hope that Warner can join the ranks of releasing "Godzilla"..."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Ashley was stunned for a moment, then he looked at the other party in shock, and then burst out laughing.

"Haha...Mr. Lin really knows how to joke. "Godzilla" has already been co-published by Universal and Fox. You actually want Warner to join it. This is too greedy."

Ashley felt that Lin Daoqiu was a bit whimsical. Who did he think he was?

For Ashley's answer, Lin Daoqiu had actually already been mentally prepared, because when he talked about it with little Alan Ryder, the other party also felt that he was thinking too much.

"What does Mr. Ashley think of young Alan Ryder?"

Lin Daoqiu did not continue talking about "Godzilla", but turned the topic to Alan Ryder Jr.

For the head of Fox, Ashley must know him more or less.

Arrogant, supercilious, but really capable, otherwise Fox would not have made so many blockbuster movies, especially the "Star Wars" series, which is Fox's most profitable magic weapon.

"I don't understand Mr. Lin's question."

Hearing the other party's question, Lin Daoqiu first smiled, and then said.

"When I went to Chairman Alan, his first reaction was to refuse to cooperate with me, but then he agreed. Do you know why?"

This matter has been spread in the industry, and Ashley has heard of it to some extent.

"I heard that you took little Alan Ryder to watch "Godzilla" at that time, and he agreed to your request after that. Could it be that Mr. Lin plans to repeat the old trick today and also wants to take me to watch "Godzilla" ?"

Ashley doesn't think that after seeing "Godzilla", he will change his mind and run to join the ranks of publishing "Godzilla".

And Lin Daoqiu actually didn't have such an idea, because he didn't intend to spend too much time on Ashley.

"Sorry, I don't have that much time."

Lin Daoqiu shook his head directly, which made Ashley very unhappy.

Why would you be willing to take little Alan Ryder to see Godzilla, but do nothing on your side.

"You think I'm inferior to little Alan Ryder?"

Ashley was very upset. He felt that Lin Daoqiu was really not a good lobbyist, and even what he said was a bit bad.

"It's not because of this, but I think Mr. Ashley has more experience than Chairman Alan, and has a longer-term vision."

Ashley didn't speak, but just looked at Lin Daoqiu like this. Is he flattering himself?
If it is true, then this level of flattery is far from enough.

"Although the box office of "Godzilla" hasn't come out today, it can be predicted from the crowds queuing that this movie will definitely break the box office record of North American movies. I don't know what Mr. Ashley thinks about this?"

Regarding Lin Daoqiu's remarks, Ashley actually agrees somewhat.

But in order not to let Lin Daoqiu be too arrogant in front of him, Ashley just shrugged.

"Maybe, but before the final results come out, Mr. Lin should not be too happy too early, lest he be too happy when he gets it."

When Ashley finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu suddenly stood up from the chair.

Then he walked to the side French window and stood there overlooking the street scene below.

"Although I don't know how the business of the theaters that Warner is cooperating with today is doing, I'm sure that within at least a month, those theaters will be empty."

Ashley had nothing to refute on that point, because it was the truth.

Except for the theaters showing Godzilla, the theater business is really bad.

"If this scene lasts for a month, what does Mr. Ashley think will happen?"

"Mr. Lin seems to be overconfident in himself, one month? I think it's amazing that the popularity of "Godzilla" can last for two weeks."

Ashley doesn't think the "Godzilla" movie-watching craze will last too long, and the current grand occasion can last for two weeks.

"If I say that the movie viewing craze for "Godzilla" can last for two months, what does Mr. Ashley think?"

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Ashley wondered if this guy was crazy.

"No one will struggle with money. What I hope is that everyone can make money together. If Mr. Ashley is interested, you can call me at any time, and I will wait for you."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he left Ashley's office...
