Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1600 has been bought by me

"I believe that when the final results come out, everyone will be surprised."

Not long after Lin Daoqiu and Kerkorian reached a deal, Langmeyer knew that Lin Daoqiu spent [-] million to buy MGM.

Looking at the newspapers and magazines published in the past few days and listing some, Langmeyer couldn't help laughing when they thought they were the most suitable candidates.

Lin Daoqiu didn't care about the outside reports at all, because the matter had already been settled, and the deal could be signed after the accountant team investigated all of MGM's finances.

As for what those media people like to say and write, it has nothing to do with Lin Daoqiu. After all, people also have to eat, and in their opinion, if a Xiangjiang person buys MGM, it will definitely be a loss of face for Hollywood.

Fortunately, Hollywood at this time is not like the film market that has dominated the world in later generations, so the pressure of public opinion that Lin Daoqiu has to bear will not be too heavy.

What's more, Lin Daoqiu has a magic studio in his hands, and he has also made movies that shocked the world like "Godzilla", so even if the media knows that he bought MGM, they won't be too brazen.

At most, it is just to criticize Hollywood in newspapers and magazines. They are so angry that they let a Chinese buy their film company.

Lin Daoqiu knew very well that after buying MGM, he must have strong support if he wanted to develop rapidly.

After all, MGM has been weak for a long time, and it is not possible to turn around and succeed by relying on the hits of one or two movies.

Although Lin Daoqiu knew many bosses of film companies in Hollywood, that was in the past, and he was a film producer at that time.

Now that Lin Daoqiu has become the boss of MGM, under such circumstances, the other party is unlikely to continue to cooperate with him, but will try every means to suppress MGM.

So what Lin Daoqiu has to do now is to try his best to help him win more allies, such as Langmeyer.

"I hope there will be more cooperation between MGM and Universal Pictures in the future."

Langmeyer was of course very happy to accept the olive branch thrown by Lin Daoqiu.

After all, every movie that Lin Daoqiu has made from before to now can be a big hit. Under such circumstances, Langmeyer will naturally not push out the opportunity to make money.

But if one day Lin Daoqiu's movies don't sell well, then their partnership will come to an end.

"Of course there is no problem. We have cooperated for so many years, and I also strongly support you to buy MGM. When the time comes, our two swords will be combined, and we will definitely be able to flex our muscles in Hollywood."

Langmeyer raised the wine in his glass, and it seemed that he had already made up his mind about this cooperation.

Of course, Lin Daoqiu knew what Lang Mayer was thinking. Although he and Lang Mayer had a very good relationship, the premise was that he could bring benefits to the other party.

Although this combination of interests is cruel, it is also a basis for maintaining the relationship between the two parties.

Not to mention that Lin Daoqiu is very confident in himself. He feels that he only needs ten years to make MGM the top film company in Hollywood.

"I wish us a happy cooperation..."

Lin Daoqiu also raised his cup.

After clinking glasses, the two drank it all down, and then Langmeyer and Lin Daoqiu laughed almost at the same time.

"Mr. Lin, thank you very much for accepting this exclusive interview. According to the information I compiled before, you don't seem to like to be interviewed?"

As the deputy editor-in-chief of "Film Entertainment" Weekly, Bo Xi unexpectedly got an exclusive interview opportunity with Lin Daoqiu this time.

To be honest, she didn't know why Lin Daoqiu was willing to accept the exclusive interview of "Film Entertainment".

Before the interview with Lin Daoqiu, Percy actually did a lot of research. She found that Lin Daoqiu is not a person who likes to be interviewed, and even he rarely shows up in news reports.

This had to make Percy curious, and "Film Entertainment" was not such a big magazine.

There are countless media in Hollywood that are more famous, powerful and prestigious than "Film Entertainment", and they are just a low-level weekly magazine.

But in fact, the reason why Lin Daoqiu was willing to accept the exclusive interview of "Film Entertainment" was entirely because of the movie "Home Alone".

Back then, "Home Alone" was widely criticized when it was released. Most people were not optimistic about the movie, and it even received huge negative reviews before it was released.

But among these people, Percy was considered an outlier. At that time, she was sent to write the film review of "Home Alone".

It was also because of the report written by Percy that everyone began to understand what an excellent movie "Home Alone" is.

Although the big sales of "Home Alone" is not entirely due to Percy's report, but she has done more or less for herself, which is why Lin Daoqiu is willing to accept an exclusive interview with "Film Entertainment".

"Actually, there are not so many reasons. I just happened to be free. I happened to see the invitation sent by "Film Entertainment". I just accepted your invitation, that's all."

Lin Daoqiu's answer was very simple, it didn't sound like there were so many reasons, it was just a coincidence.

But only Lin Daoqiu knew that he accepted the interview this time just to repay his kindness.

If Lin Daoqiu really wanted to use an exclusive interview to promote himself, he would definitely choose the most influential media, and he would never choose the weekly magazine "Film Entertainment".

"Does Mr. Lin mean that all this is just a coincidence?"

Bo Xi didn't quite believe Lin Daoqiu's explanation, but she couldn't say that the other party was lying. After all, Lin Daoqiu was willing to accept their exclusive interview, which was already a great joy for "Film Entertainment".

As for why Lin Daoqiu is willing to accept the exclusive interview of "Movie Entertainment", this is not a question that Percy needs to consider. All she has to do is to do a good job in this interview.

"Of course, doesn't Miss Persie believe me?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Bo Xi and asked with a smile.

Percy shook his head, and didn't continue to dwell on the question just now.

"Then I have to thank Mr. Lin once again for bringing us back to the topic. Recently, there was a report in Hollywood about MGM, a film company. I wonder if Mr. Lin has heard of it?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything, he just nodded.

"Many people have been listed as targets for the acquisition of MGM, and Mr. Lin's name is also included here. I want to know what Mr. Lin thinks about this matter?"

In fact, what Boxi wanted to ask was whether Lin Daoqiu had participated in the acquisition of MGM, but she felt that even if she asked, the other party would not answer, so she simply changed the way of questioning.

"I don't have any opinion, because MGM has already been bought by me."
