Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1096 Please leave Warner
"Who do you think you are……"

After Lin Daoqiu left, Ashley punched the table.

In his eyes, Lin Daoqiu was extremely rude. After all, he was also the president of Warner Bros. In front of him, which one of the other filmmakers had to behave respectfully and well-behaved.

But it happened that Lin Daoqiu rejected his kindness at the beginning, sold "Mission Impossible" to Alan Ryder Jr., and even switched to Universal to cooperate with Langmeyer.

Now he came to say why Warner should release the movie "Godzilla" with Universal and Fox. Who did he think he was?Emperor of Hollywood?
The more he thought about it, the more angry Ashley had already made up his mind, no matter how much he was hit by then, he would never cooperate with Lin Daoqiu.

"Dong dong dong..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

Ashley gasped for breath and spoke in.

After the door was pushed open, Ashley found that it was Richardson, the director of the publishing department, who came to him.

As soon as Richardson entered the door, he knew from the expression on Ashley's face that he was in a very bad mood at this time.

"Did something happen?"

Richardson thought something was wrong.

"I just met a jerk, don't mention him, what's the matter?"

Ashley didn't want to talk to Richardson about Lin Daoqiu, he didn't even want to mention Lin Daoqiu's name.

"Affected by "Godzilla", the attendance rate of our new film is only [-]%. Those movie theater owners want to know what should we do next?"

"Godzilla" not only affects Warner, but the attendance rate of several other movie theaters is very worrying, which has dropped to only about [-]%. You must know that this is the Christmas schedule.

As soon as he heard the news, the dissatisfaction on Ashley's face became more and more obvious, because all this was caused by that guy Lin Daoqiu.

If it weren't for his filming of "Godzilla", Warner wouldn't have had such a miserable Christmas season this year, and it is foreseeable that this situation will continue for a long time.

In fact, Richardson once suggested to Ashley that their new film should not be released on Christmas, and the new film will be released after the limelight of "Godzilla" has passed.

However, both Ashley and David felt that Lin Daoqiu's "Godzilla" was nothing special and would not have much impact on them, so they insisted on releasing the new film on Christmas as originally planned.

As a result, both Ashley and David have to bear a lot of responsibility in the current situation.

"Our family is not the only one experiencing this situation now. You tell them that the craze for "Godzilla" won't last long, and the situation will improve after a week."

Ashley still believes that "Godzilla" will not have much impact on them, as long as it lasts for a week.

But Richardson doesn't think so. He even thinks that the craze for "Godzilla" will last at least more than a month, and this is the most conservative prediction.

You must know that it was 1984 at this time, and there were very few ways for the general public to entertain and entertain them. Among them, TV and movies were the most preferred and convenient choices for the general public.

Although I haven't had time to watch "Godzilla", Richardson feels that judging from the popularity of this drama, it is absolutely impossible to only have a week of popularity.

"President, I think the movie-watching craze for "Godzilla" may not only last for a week, I think it may take longer..."

Richardson voiced his concerns.

But that was the last thing Ashley wanted to hear right now, and he shot Richardson a hard look.

"I have been in Hollywood for so many years and have seen so many movies. I have enough experience and judgment, and I am also the president of Warner. You should do what I say, understand?"

Ashley's anger burned all of a sudden, and Richardson was given a hard lesson.

Poor Richardson hadn't figured out what was going on, he was just voicing his concerns, and it was a little odd that Ashley would be so angry.

"Understood the president, I will relay your words to them."

Richardson knew that it was useless to say what he said now, and Ashley was obviously angry, so it was better to say less.

After leaving Ashley's office, Richardson originally planned to return to his own office, but after thinking about it, he chose to walk towards Ashley's secretary.

"Has the president met anyone before me?"

"The president received Mr. Lin Dao Qiulin."

Richardson didn't expect that Ashley had just met Lin Daoqiu, and he seemed very surprised.

What is certain is that Ashley's anger must have something to do with Lin Daoqiu. The two should have had some conflict just now, otherwise Ashley would never be so angry.

Back in his office, Richardson picked up the phone and tried to contact Lin Daoqiu.

…………

In the evening, Richardson came to the hotel where Lin Daoqiu was staying. In the hotel bar, he met Lin Daoqiu who was already waiting for him here.

"Mr. Lin, long time no see."

The last time I met Lin Daoqiu was four years ago, so much time has passed in a blink of an eye, Lin Daoqiu seems to be more mature than before.

"Mr. George, don't come here, you don't look more handsome four years ago."

If Richardson hadn't tried his best to help at the beginning, "Mission Impossible" would not have been able to get the 2000 yuan screen at the beginning.

Richardson was the driving force behind Lin Daoqiu's fortune in Hollywood.

Richardson shook his hand with a smile. After ordering a glass of beer, he sat down with Lin Daoqiu.

"I have heard the name of the movie "Godzilla" countless times before, but I never thought that this movie could trigger such an amazing movie-watching craze."

Although Richardson admires Lin Daoqiu very much, if someone tells him that "Godzilla" released on Christmas can reduce the attendance rate of other film companies to only [-]%, he will never believe it of.

"That's because you haven't seen 'Godzilla' before, and if you had, you wouldn't be surprised that this is happening now."

Lin Daoqiu is very confident about the movie "Godzilla". After all, he has personally said that "Godzilla" is a cross-generational movie.

For the self-confidence shown by Lin Daoqiu, Richardson thinks it is normal, because Lin Daoqiu does have the capital of his self-confidence.

"Actually, George, if you don't ask me out, I will ask you out sometime."

Richardson looked a little surprised, he didn't understand what Lin Daoqiu wanted him to do.

"I want you to leave Warner..."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu said this, Richardson frowned even deeper...
