Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1459 Halving and Halving

Lin Daoqiu's seemingly casual sentence immediately caused Song Yaolian to think deeply.

It is well known that Lin Daoqiu is a well-known film tycoon in the world.

Leaving aside the movie, another identity of Lin Daoqiu is the owner of the TV station. After all, he just bought ATV and changed its name to Dongshi.

If you look at it this way, apart from movies, there are only TV stations left.

"Long-term development? TV station? Chi..."

As soon as Song Yaolian associated these things, he immediately got an answer that made him gasp.

Feeling Lin Daoqiu has already aimed at the TV station in Baodao. He intends to use this incident as an exchange to let him open a TV station in Baodao.

This guy is really shrewd enough to know how to use this incident as an exchange.

"Director, did you think of something?"

Liao Xiangxiong at the side saw Song Yaolian's startled reaction, and he probably guessed that the other party should have guessed something.

Song Yaolian looked at Liao Xiangxiong, he just shook his head without saying anything.

"It's nothing, let's do this first, let me think about it."

Song Yaolian didn't intend to talk about this matter with Liao Xiangxiong, after all, the other party was just a small director, how could Song Yaolian talk to him about such a big matter.

Although full of doubts, Liao Xiangxiong also knew when to say something and when to shut up.

So he nodded quickly, then turned and left Song Yaolian's office.

Fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, Song Yaolian had to admire Lin Daoqiu's courage and ambition.

But think about it carefully, if Lin Daoqiu can be tied to Baodao, so that his position can be consistent with theirs, a TV station is no big deal.

After all, some places above have begun to loosen, and it is only a matter of time before the license of the TV station is released.

It's just that this kind of thing is still very sensitive at this time, and it's not up to him to decide, and even Li Zhengnan can't make this decision unless that one speaks.

But this is no longer something Song Yaolian can solve. He still has to report it to Li Zhengnan to see what the other party means.

Early the next morning, Song Yaolian came to Li Zhengnan's office.

After waiting at the door for more than ten minutes, the other party's secretary invited Song Yaolian into the office.

"Wait a minute, I'll finish processing these documents."

Li Zhengnan was so busy processing the documents that he didn't even raise his head.

Song Yaolian didn't dare to make a sound, so he just stood there and waited silently.

After a while, Li Zhengnan finished processing the documents, and then slowly raised his head.

"Come to see me so early today, is there anything urgent?"

Under normal circumstances, if Song Yaolian needed to contact Li Zhengnan for something, he would definitely call him first and give him a brief report.

If the situation is urgent, or if there is something that needs to be reported in person, he will choose to come directly to Li Zhengnan.

"It's like this. Lin Daoqiu arrived in Baodao a few days ago, and I talked to him about the play."

Li Zhengnan nodded as he listened. Last year's "Royal Senior Sister" had a very good response in Asia. Not only did it sell well at the box office, but the scene on Taiwan's side also attracted the attention of many people abroad.

But that film was filmed by Lin Daoqiu himself, and Baodao was only responsible for providing assistance, which can only be said to be an attempt.

Lin Daoqiu promised last year that this year's film will focus on Treasure Island, which will allow them to better show all aspects of Treasure Island to foreign people, of course to show what they want to show.

"Well, Lin Daoqiu does have his uniqueness in making movies. The feedback I heard from various channels before is very good. Let him make persistent efforts to make a better movie this year. If he needs any assistance Do your best to accommodate him."

Li Zhengnan didn't think too much about it. In his opinion, providing a little help can reverse some of the bad influence of international public opinion on Baodao. No matter how you look at it, they are making a lot of money.

Of course, Song Yaolian hoped that if he only provided assistance to Lin Daoqiu, it would be an easy task, but the current situation is obviously not as simple as Li Zhengnan thought.

"Sir, Lin Daoqiu proposed this time that this film is aimed at the whole world, so the budget for filming will be higher than that of ordinary films."

"Okay, Lin Daoqiu's idea is very correct. If this drama really arouses worldwide repercussions, then no matter what kind of request he has, we must try our best to satisfy him."

Li Zhengnan was very happy. He felt that Lin Daoqiu was really thinking about Baodao, and he just hoped that this movie could arouse discussions in major film markets around the world.

"Sir, Lin Daoqiu said that the budget this time is [-] million US dollars."

After Song Yaolian finished speaking, he silently lowered his head. He didn't know what Li Zhengnan would think, but he could be sure that the other party would never be happy.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what Song Yaolian thought. After listening, Li Zhengnan let out an oh, and when he realized it, his eyes suddenly opened wide.

"[-] million dollars to make a film? Did I hear correctly?"

Li Zhengnan thought he heard it wrong, because in his perception, [-] million US dollars can do a lot of things.

But what left Li Zhengnan speechless was that Song Yaolian nodded directly.

"Sir, you heard me right. What Lin Daoqiu said was indeed a budget of [-] million US dollars, and he said that we will pay for the filming this time."

Li Zhengnan, who was still very happy, now has a cloudy face, and the previous good mood has disappeared.

After a moment of silence, Li Zhengnan spoke slowly.

"Don't say that I don't agree to this matter, even that one will never agree. Go and tell Lin Daoqiu quickly and ask him to halve the funding and then halve it."

On Li Zhengnan's side, let alone 5000 million US dollars, he would not even agree to [-] million US dollars.

"Sir, I have asked people to test Lin Daoqiu's intentions beforehand. He said that if the funds are reduced, the film can only be directed to Asia. This is completely different from our original intention."

Li Zhengnan seemed to have forgotten that Lin Daoqiu was not their subordinate. His previous reaction was to order Lin Daoqiu's ordinary subordinates at the beginning, completely forgetting that the other party had a cooperative relationship with them.

Seeing that Song Yaolian was silent, Li Zhengnan seemed to be thinking about some serious topic.

Song Yaolian didn't dare to ask, he knew that his words had already made Li Zhengnan very unhappy.

"Is there really no solution?"

Li Zhengnan looked at Song Yaolian and asked, if this is the case, then this matter might be really difficult for him.
