Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1132 A Billion Project
Neither He Guanchang nor Cen Jianxun could get a satisfactory answer from Lin Daoqiu.

This trip to see Lin Daoqiu was basically nothing. The only thing that was certain was that Lin Daoqiu was not very friendly to them.

But in fact, it's normal to think about it. After all, Lin Daoqiu is about to dominate Xiangjiang's movie circle, and he just missed the door.

As a result, they teamed up with Sixth Uncle to deal with him, and came up with a "Xiangjiang Film Management Act". It would be strange that Lin Daoqiu would be in a good mood.

After leaving New Oriental, neither He Guanchang nor Cen Jianxun seemed very emotional.

On the way back, Cen Jianxun and He Guanchang were in the same car, and he brought up that incident again.

"Mr. He, Lin Daoqiu's attitude is already very obvious. There is absolutely no possibility of us cooperating with him. I think the most important thing now is to speed up the pace of establishing a special effects company."

Although the overseas agency rights are managed by Li Maowen, Cen Jianxun does not believe that Lin Daoqiu can cover the sky with one hand and keep their films from being sold.

If this is really the case then, Dibao and Jiahe will naturally not sit still.

The most Lin Daoqiu can do is to waste their time and let their movies sell out a few months later. This is the limit that Cen Jianxun thinks Lin Daoqiu can do.

Now the way to close the gap with New Oriental is to get out the special effects film company as soon as possible. As long as they have special effects technology, they don't have to worry about not being able to make special effects movies.

"I want to know how much Di Bao is willing to pay for this special effects company."

He Guanchang also knew this truth, but what he wanted to know was how much Di Bao was willing to pay.

"According to what Uncle Liu said before, the purchase price of the theater chain will be 3% higher than the market price, and Dibao can probably be sold for more than [-] million. On this basis, Mr. Pan is willing to add another [-] million."

Pan Disheng was willing to invest more than 4 million yuan to get this special effects film company, which was really beyond He Guanchang's expectation.

"In addition to Di Bao, Mr. Liao of Chenggong Cinemas also plans to join in. He is willing to invest [-] million Hong Kong dollars to participate in this plan."

Liao Junhao was willing to join this plan, which He Guanchang did not expect.

But if you think about it carefully, it may be because of Lin Daoqiu's relationship that Liao Junhao is willing to invest money. The purpose is to deal with New Oriental and prevent Lin Daoqiu from dominating.

"In this case, Golden Harvest is willing to contribute [-] million Hong Kong dollars, a total of [-] billion Hong Kong dollars to establish this special effects company."

This special effects company must be established. If Golden Harvest still wants to gain a foothold in Xiangjiang's film circle and get rid of Lin Daoqiu's control, it must establish this special effects company.

When Cen Jianxun heard this, he immediately smiled. As long as this plan is implemented smoothly, a second film special effects company will be born in Xiangjiang in the future.

From now on, they don't need to look at Lin Daoqiu's face, and they don't need to hire foreign special effects teams at high prices.

…………

A week later, Golden Harvest and Dibao jointly sent invitations to the Hong Kong news media, inviting them to the Peninsula Hotel to attend the press conference held by the two companies.

Although there have been some rumors before, most people don't know what the two film companies are going to announce at this time.

"Welcome everyone to this press conference. Let us invite Mr. Zhou Wenhuai and Mr. Pan Disheng to meet you..."

As soon as the host finished speaking, Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng came out from the side door.

After the two went to the stage and sat down, Zou Wenhuai picked up the microphone.

"Thank you for coming. The reason why Mr. Pan and I are holding this press conference here today is because we have something very important to announce."

Zou Wenhuai paused for a moment, and then continued: "I have been in the film industry for almost 30 years, watching the development of Xiangjiang films step by step, I am filled with emotion."

The reporters in the audience listened to Zou Wenhuai's feelings expressed on stage, but they still wanted to know what the purpose of holding this press conference today was.

After a few words, Zou Wenhuai finally turned to the main topic.

"In order to better serve Hong Kong Films, Golden Harvest and Dibao decided to invest one billion Hong Kong dollars to establish Hong Kong's second film special effects company."

After Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, there was a commotion at the scene, and everyone was startled by Zou Wenhuai's words.

Golden Harvest and Dibao were willing to invest one billion Hong Kong dollars in research and development of special effects for movies, which was beyond the imagination of everyone present.

Although there were gossip rumors before that the purpose of Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng's press conference today was related to the special effects company, but no one knew the exact amount.

Some people say tens of millions, some say hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions, but no one has predicted the number of one billion.

After Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, it was time for reporters to ask questions.

"Mr. Zou, may I ask if Golden Harvest and Dibao set up this film special effects company to deal with New Oriental and Moli Studio?"

"I heard that Golden Harvest and Dibao joined forces to deal with New Oriental to promote the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act". May I ask Mr. Zou if this is true?"

"Mr. Pan, according to Gossip Weekly, the reason why you have an opposing relationship with Lin Daoqiu is because Miss Michelle Yeoh transferred to New Oriental. Is this true?"

Apparently, the reporters didn't have much interest in this billion-dollar film special effects company.

What they are most interested in is the rumors between Zou Wenhuai, Pan Disheng and Lin Daoqiu. These are the things that readers most want to see.

"This statement is wrong. This special effects company was established to better serve Xiangjiang Films, not to deal with anyone. Please don't speculate arbitrarily."

"As for the promotion of the "Hong Kong Film Management Act", Golden Harvest and Di Bao didn't know about it beforehand, and we don't have that much power to order the Hong Kong government to do something, so what you just asked is just speculation."

After Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Pan Disheng next to him.

"I haven't read the reports in the gossip magazines. As for Ms. Michelle Yeoh, when I first saw her, I thought she was very temperamental, so I specially invited her to Xiangjiang to shoot commercials. As for asking her to film, it was Brother Hong's idea, and it has nothing to do with me. .”

No matter how much Pan Disheng hated Lin Daoqiu in his heart, he couldn't show the slightest bit in front of the reporter.

"If you don't have evidence, don't report it casually. If those weekly gossip magazines continue to write nonsense, I don't rule out suing them for spreading rumors."

When Pan Disheng said this, his serious expression was captured by the reporter.
