Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1547 Intended for Special Effects
Chapter 1439

The matter of "Weekly Wenchun" was temporarily put aside by Lin Daoqiu. As long as he did not go to see Yasuko Sawaguchi, those guys at "Weekly Wenchun" would not be able to obtain any evidence.

As for Matsuoka Gong, he is a smart man. Since he made that phone call to Lin Daoqiu, he has never mentioned this matter to Lin Daoqiu face to face, and everyone is tacitly aware of it.

It's just that this time Lin Daoqiu will inevitably owe Matsuoka Kou a favor, but Lin Daoqiu always feels that he seems to be at a loss.

Obviously, nothing happened between himself and Yasuko Sawaguchi, but now I feel that Isao Matsuoka has already acquiesced that he and Yasuko Sawaguchi are already in that kind of super-friendship relationship.

"Mr. Lin, what are you thinking?"

Lin Daoqiu, who was inspecting the new studio with Isao Matsuoka, was distracted for a while, and he didn't respond when Isao Matsuoka talked to him.

"It's nothing, I'm thinking about how to arrange this place."

Lin Daoqiu casually brushed it off, and Isao Matsuoka nodded while listening.

In the production of "1992" this time, Dongbao can be said to have done everything possible to provide Lin Daoqiu with all the convenience and assistance.

It can be seen that this time Isao Matsuoka wants to make "1992" famous in Toho's history this time, and make more money for the company by the way.

Lin Daoqiu can probably guess Matsuoka Isao's thoughts, but this time shooting "1992" is a matter of mutual benefit.

If I had to do it myself without Dongbao's great assistance this time, I'm afraid I would have spent more time and energy on it.

"This time I am very grateful to Dongbao for his great assistance. Without Dongbao, the progress of the film preparation would never have been so fast."

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's praise, Isao Matsuoka couldn't help showing a proud expression.

"Mr. Lin, don't say that. Since Dongbao is one of the investors of "1992", it will naturally provide all the convenience for the production of this movie. There is another matter that I would like to discuss with Mr. Lin."

"Oh, I don't know what Chairman Matsuoka wants to discuss with me?"

Lin Daoqiu thought, Kou Matsuoka wanted to get benefits from him so quickly, this guy is very greedy.

But what Lin Daoqiu didn't expect was that Isao Matsuoka's greed far exceeded his expectations.

"Mr. Lin is actually like this. In the future, the genre of special effects movies will become dominant for a long time. Dongbao, as the largest film production company of Neon, also hopes to participate in this process."

Lin Daoqiu couldn't understand the meaning of Isao Matsuoka's words. Didn't he already participate?Investing in "1992" is one of the special effects films.

"President Matsuoka's words are not very clear to me, can you make them more clear?"

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's question, Matsuoka Isao first smiled, then turned to look at Lin Daoqiu and said seriously.

"Mr. Lin, I hope Magic Studio can set up a branch in Neon. Dongbao will provide all the funds to assist Magic Studio in the development of special effects technology."

After Lin Daoqiu heard what Matsuoka said, he realized that the other party wanted him to open the branch of Magic Studio to Neon.

As for what Matsuoka Isao said, contributing money and efforts to assist Magic Studio in the development of special effects is not just the assistance he said.

Lin Daoqiu believes that Isao Matsuoka did this in the hope that he can learn advanced special effects technology from Magic Studio, which will lay the foundation for Toho's future special effects movies.

Without this incident of Yasuko Sawaguchi, Lin Daoqiu believed that Isao Matsuoka would never dare to make such a request in front of him.

However, Isao Matsuoka thought too much. Although Lin Daoqiu owed him a favor more or less this time, it didn't mean that Lin Daoqiu would agree to any conditions.

"President Matsuoka, this proposal of yours is very good, but it is a pity that the magic studio is currently short of manpower, and even Xiangjiang can't finish the work, and there is no way to expand business abroad. Please forgive me."

Matsuoka Isao originally thought that even if Lin Daoqiu refused to agree, he would leave some room for himself.

But what he didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu directly refused, leaving no possibility at all.

Originally, Isao Matsuoka was prepared and thought of several kinds of arguments to persuade Lin Daoqiu, but now those arguments are simply useless.

"Mr. Lin, I'm not saying that it will be put into operation immediately. I can send people over to prepare first. I can still afford to wait for two or three years. Besides, wouldn't it be better if "1992" could stay in Neon for post-production ?”

Lin Daoqiu shook his head while laughing. Isao Matsuoka took everything for granted, but this is also normal. After all, if it were him, he would also want to master the most advanced special effects production technology as soon as possible.

"President Matsuoka, let's not talk about this matter for now. If the time is right in the future, I will naturally open the branch of Magic Studio to Neon, but it is impossible now."

Lin Daoqiu's tone of refusal was very firm, which made Matsuoka very disappointed.

But at least the other party didn't completely block the road, at least for Isao Matsuoka, he still has room to work hard.

"In this case, let's do it for the time being as Mr. Lin said."

After being rejected by Lin Daoqiu, Isao Matsuoka seemed to lose any interest at once. After inspecting the set, he left with his own people.

"Isao Matsuoka is really good at thinking, but he obviously found the wrong person."

Fang Jinsheng felt that Kou Matsuoka was a bit whimsical. He actually wanted to obtain the most advanced special effects technology from Lin Daoqiu. Is that possible?

You must know that this is the core department of New Oriental, and it is also the company with the strongest film special effects technology in the world besides Industrial Light and Magic.

If it is really so easy for him to get it, then this magic studio is too worthless.

"Isao Matsuoka has seen that special effects movies are the main trend of future movies. I heard that Toho has also been increasing investment in special effects movie technology in recent years, but there has been no progress."

If Lin Daoqiu hadn't invited Dykstra to Xiangjiang before, it is estimated that the magic studio would not be able to open at all now.

And even if it is opened, the technology is probably far from being comparable to those of Industrial Light and Magic.

"That's why he wanted to use White Wolf empty-handed. After learning the technology from Magic Studio, he can use it in their own movies. It's really a beautiful idea."

Fang Jinsheng was very contemptuous of Matsuoka Isao's actions. He felt that the other party's actions were almost the same as getting something for nothing. Fortunately, he was still the president of Dongbao, so his greed was too greedy.

"Leave him alone, just do what we have in hand."

Lin Daoqiu didn't plan to put his energy on this. If Kou Matsuoka mentioned it later, he would still answer as before, until the other party gave up his mind.
