Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1632

Both Rush Hour and The Living Days are already in post-production.

Lin Daoqiu needs to check the two plays, but Lin Daoqiu in "Rush Hour" believes that Jackie Chan's ability will definitely be able to do well, so "Rush Hour" is basically handed over to Jackie Chan.

As for "Life of Dawn", Lin Daoqiu naturally wants to put more energy on it.

It's just that the ACC matter suddenly popped up, which made Lin Daoqiu unable to put all his energy on editing the film, and the Christmas schedule will be in more than a week.

Judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible for Lin Daoqiu to change Kriswerf's mind, because it is too late.

For Lin Daoqiu, the only way now is to put this matter aside first, and deal with it slowly later.

Both Richardson and Carls feel that this is a better choice at present. If they have a bad relationship with ACC now, it will be very detrimental to their two blockbuster films released in the Christmas schedule.

But at this moment, Lin Daoqiu suddenly made a decision that shocked all MGM executives.

"Richardson, please inform ACC that MGM will cancel all cooperation with ACC starting tomorrow, and you will be responsible for the specific termination matters."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu said this, Richardson stood up in surprise.

It is important to know that this decision will reduce the number of MGM screens by [-] to [-] percent in future film releases.

Moreover, most of the theaters of the ACC theater chain are located in big cities in North America. Once the cooperation with ACC is cancelled, MGM's future box office revenue will be greatly reduced.

"Boss, I think it's better not to do this, because the result of doing so will greatly affect the company, and even shake the confidence of employees and those partners."

Richardson was in a hurry. He was very pessimistic about Lin Daoqiu's decision, and even felt that if MGM really did this, it would fall into the abyss of eternal doom.

Carls shares the same thoughts as Richardson, and he doesn't think canceling the ACC deal will do MGM any good.

"Although Chris Wolf is aggressive, ACC Cinemas is still the most powerful cinema in the North American market. It would be a huge loss for us not to cooperate with them."

Lin Daoqiu can understand the anxiety of Richardson and Kars, and he also knows that this decision will definitely cause opposition from everyone.

But even so, he will not give up, because in Lin Daoqiu's view, if he wants to solve this problem once and for all, he must use some thunderous means.

"I have no intention of breaking up with the ACC. My purpose of doing so is just to get more screens and the respect I deserve..."

"Chris Wolff doesn't respect us at all. I don't think there will be any benefits in continuing to cooperate. You must know that MGM and ACC are cooperating, not ACC unilaterally helping us make money."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Richardson and Kars with a serious face. He wanted to let these two people understand what the word respect meant.

For Americans who put interests first, making money or not is the primary prerequisite for them.

But for Richardson and Carls, since they switched from Warner to MGM, they took a fancy to Lin Daoqiu's personality traits, coupled with his outstanding ability in movies.

And Lin Daoqiu said very clearly that the reason for canceling the cooperation with ACC this time is entirely because Chris Wolff did not respect MGM and Lin Daoqiu.

Lin Daoqiu's reluctance to swallow his anger is completely understandable, but the price of punishing the other party is too heavy for MGM.

"Although I still insist on my objection, if the boss decides to do this, then I can only carry out your order."

Richardson found a reason to persuade himself to do it. He objected, but the boss disagreed. In this case, he could only carry out Lin Daoqiu's order.

Kars next to him also shrugged.

"Two votes to one vote, I still respect the majority, but I believe we will win this time."

Although Karls believes that leaving the ACC will make MGM's future road very bumpy, but he believes that the final victory will definitely belong to MGM.

…………

"What? You want to cancel all cooperation with us?"

Chris Wolfe received a call from Richardson in the office. On the phone, Richardson told him that MGM will cancel all cooperation with ACC theaters starting tomorrow?
It was never expected that Lin Daoqiu's temper would be so irritable, and he would break it off immediately if he disagreed with each other. Chris Wolff was still in shock, and Richardson had already hung up the phone.

After putting down the phone, Chris Wolfe still didn't come back to his senses, because he never figured out that Lin Daoqiu would cancel his cooperation with ACC theaters at such a critical juncture in the Christmas schedule.

In Chris Wolf's view, this is undoubtedly a kind of suicide behavior, only the most stupid managers will make such a decision.

Although this matter has not been spread, but in the high-level meeting of the ACC, this topic was still brought up.

"Chairman, may I ask MGM to cancel all cooperation with our company, what is going on?"

When asked the question, Chris Woff seemed a little absent-minded, although he had expected it to be thrown at the meeting.

"I don't know the specific situation. I just received a call from MGM, who informed me that they will cancel all cooperation with us starting today, that's all."

Of course, Chris Wolfe will not tell everyone that the reason why MGM canceled the cooperation with ACC theaters is entirely because of his relationship.

"Chris, are you kidding? MGM would do this for no reason? Are they crazy?"

In addition to the top executives of ACC, there were also several directors present. These people all held shares in ACC, and their status was unknown higher than those of the top executives.

Chris Wolff turned his head and glanced at the director who questioned him.

"Sir, I was only notified by the other party. If I want to know the specific situation, I'm afraid I should go to MGM to find out. I have sent someone to contact them. I believe there will be an answer soon."

Although Chris Wolfe said so, he never sent anyone to communicate with MGM.

The only way now is to let this matter cool down as soon as possible.

However, although Chris Wolff's idea is very good, things will not develop as he expected.

Just after the ACC high-level meeting was held, it is unknown who leaked the news, and MGM's cancellation of cooperation with ACC quickly became the focus of heated discussions in the news media.
