Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1116 Uncle Six Coming Out of the Mountain?

Di Bao's situation was obvious to all, and I am afraid that except for Pan Disheng, no one else would have any hope for Di Bao.

"Tsui Hark and Zeng Zhiwei have jumped ship one after another. Di Bao may not last long."

Fang Yat Hua poured a cup of tea for Run Run Shaw while talking.

Once Di Bao falls, Lin Daoqiu will control Xiangjiang's film circle, and by then no one will be able to compete with him.

"After Dibao collapsed, Lin Daoqiu will definitely take the opportunity to buy Dibao Cinemas and integrate them in a unified way. Once he really makes it, it can be said to be even worse than Shaw Brothers back then."

The Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong back then could be said to have seen all the mountains and small mountains at a glance. If Golden Harvest hadn't worked it out, the largest theater chain and film company in Xiangjiang would be controlled by Run Run Shaw.

"How about I talk to Pan Disheng, buy back Dibao Cinemas, and restart Shaw Brothers?"

Fang Yihua felt that this was a good opportunity to buy back the cinema.

But Run Run Shaw shook his head and rejected Fang Yat Hua's proposal.

"The theater chain is indeed very important, but the most powerful weapon in Lin Daoqiu's hands, besides his ability to write scripts, is the magic studio."

The reason why Di Bao was in such a precarious situation was entirely because he was frightened by the impact of special effects movies.

Lin Daoqiu is now a strong soldier, with a theater chain, a film company, a special effects studio, and a lot of money and stars. How can Pan Disheng compare with Lin Daoqiu?

It is said that Pan Disheng wanted to reorganize the Xiangjiang Cinemas just like the Shaw Brothers did, but it was a pity that he failed in the end, so the current Baocheng Cinemas came into being.

"Then what should we do? Can we just watch Lin Daoqiu and swallow Xiangjiang's movie circle?"

Fang Yihua didn't like Lin Daoqiu very much, and even hated him very much, but now it seems that no one can stop Lin Daoqiu
"Mr. Lin wants to swallow the Xiangjiang film circle. This idea is very good, but it is a pity that he is destined to fail..."

Run Run Shaw's words made Fang Yat-hua confused, the current situation can almost be said to have settled, how could there be any changes?
But looking at Run Run Shaw's appearance, he is definitely not joking here, he must have some reason to say such a thing, so what is the solution?

…………

The next day, Pan Disheng and Zou Wenhuai both received an invitation from Sir Run Run Shaw to come out for tea.

If they hadn't received the invitation, they would have almost forgotten that Run Run Shaw was the all-powerful Hong Kong film industry back then.

When Zou Wenhuai entered the box, he found that Pan Disheng was sitting in it.

Pan Disheng also looked at Zou Wenhuai who came in from the outside in surprise.

Two seconds later, Zou Wenhuai was the first to react, and he stepped forward with a smile.

"I didn't expect Boss Pan to be here."

At the beginning, Pan Disheng fooled Zou Wenhuai into selling Shaw Cinemas to him, saying that he would restart Xiangjiang Cinemas, but in the end it didn't work out, so he went to get Baocheng Cinemas himself.

In the end, Golden Harvest really had no choice but to choose to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu to restart Xiangjiang Cinemas.

The final result proved that although it was a passive choice this time, the result was very correct.

"I didn't expect Uncle Six to invite Mr. Zou over. Guess what he wants to talk about when he invites us?"

Pan Disheng was very surprised. Run Run Shaw invited him and Zou Wenhuai here to talk about what.

"How do I know? Uncle Six will come and ask later."

Zou Wenhuai is sitting very firmly. He can be said to be sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai now. No matter what Run Run Shaw wants to do, he will find ways to get the maximum benefit.

Run Run Shaw didn't keep them waiting for long, and not long after Zou Wenhuai sat down, Run Run Shaw and Fang Yat-hua entered the box.

"Uncle Six..."

Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng got up at the same time.

"Thank you both, you are willing to take time out of your busy schedule to meet me, an old man."

Run Run Shaw smiled, walked straight to the main seat and sat down.

After the four of them sat down respectively, Run Run Shaw directly opened his mouth to meet Shan Dao.

"Actually, the two of you are invited out today because I want to talk about something related to the future of the Xiangjiang film industry."

Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng didn't speak, they all looked at Run Run Shaw.

"Di Bao's recent situation is very bad, I believe Mr. Pan should also know it well."

"Uncle Liu was joking. Di Bao is now very strong. With Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and Xu Guanwen in charge, I don't think there will be any problems with Di Bao."

Although Pan Disheng said so, he actually understood in his heart that Di Bao's current situation is really bad.

At the beginning, Dibao was said to be able to stand up to New Oriental, but now no one thinks so.

At this time, people will not regard Di Bao as an existence that can be compared with New Oriental.

"Xu Guanwen will return to Golden Harvest after finishing three films. You will only be left with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao. As for Zhang Jianting, a director who mainly makes literary films, what box office can he provide you?"

Run Run Shaw didn't want to waste his time on Disheng Pan, because there was no role for Disheng Pan in his plan.

When Run Run Shaw said this, Pan Disheng's face looked very ugly, even though the other party was telling the truth.

"Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are indeed outstanding martial arts stars, but with only the two of them, do you think Di Bao can sustain such a big company?"

Pan Disheng simply kept silent, as if he was planning to use silence to confront Run Run Shaw.

"Mr. Pan, there is a good saying that those who know the current affairs are heroes. The most important thing you should do now is sell Dibao Cinemas."

When Run Run Shaw said this, Pan Disheng turned his head to the other party in surprise.

Judging from the meaning of the other party's words, could it be that Run Run Shaw is going to come out of the rivers and lakes again and restart the Shaw Cinemas?

"It turns out that Uncle Six asked me out today because he wanted me to sell Dibao to you."

Pan Disheng felt that he had already guessed Run Run Shaw's thoughts, but unexpectedly, the other party smiled and shook his head.

"I won't buy Dibao. What I hope is that Mr. Pan sells Dibao to Mr. Lin."

Now not only Pan Disheng, but even Zou Wenhuai was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Run Run Shaw took the initiative to speak for Lin Daoqiu. It seemed that Lin Daoqiu must have given Shao Run a big gift. Otherwise, how could he ask Uncle Six to help him?
"Hahaha... Uncle Liu is really good at joking. Even if I can't hold on, I won't sell Di Bao to Lin Daoqiu."

Pan Disheng felt that Run Run Shaw was a bit whimsical, and he wanted to sell Di Bao to Lin Daoqiu. Didn't he know the grievances between himself and Lin Daoqiu?Not to mention that Michelle Yeoh was involved in it.

"If you want to take revenge on Lin Daoqiu, then sell Dibao to him..."

Run Run Shaw's words made Pan Disheng more and more confused.
