Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1637 Young is good

From the first conversation with Jason Green, Lin Daoqiu could feel the sincerity in his eyes.

And it was Jason Green's eyes that told Lin Daoqiu at this time that his heart was colliding fiercely.

It's not that Paramount and Fox can't make blockbuster movies. In 72, Paramount made "The Godfather" with a box office of 4000 million U.S. dollars.

In 77, Fox relied on "Star Wars" to win the global box office of [-] million US dollars.

Over the years, the box office champions of North American films have always been won by the three film companies Paramount, Universal, and Fox in turn.

However, the box office revenue of a "Godzilla" far exceeds the achievements of Paramount and Fox in recent years.

And this is only Lin Daoqiu's first large-scale special effects movie. It is conceivable that Lin Daoqiu will make more large-scale productions like "Godzilla" in the future.

"By the way, I forgot to introduce to Mr. Green. I just turned 26 this year."

It would be fine if Lin Daoqiu didn't say it. Jason Green, who was still thinking about it, was shocked from ear to ear when he finished speaking.

Lin Daoqiu is only 26 years old this year, this... this is simply unbelievable.

Although he had seen reports on this before, Jason Green felt that this was obviously an exaggeration by the reporter.

No matter how young Lin Daoqiu is this year, he must be at least in his 30s.

But when Lin Daoqiu told his real age in front of him, Jason Green had completely believed this incredible fact.

"Actually, I didn't let RT Theaters cancel its cooperation with Paramount and Fox. I just hope that RT Theaters can give MGM the highest priority."

Although Lin Daoqiu said so, if RT Cinemas really put MGM's priority at the highest level, it is impossible for Paramount and Fox to have no reaction at all.

It is even possible that the two theaters will cancel their cooperation with RT Theaters to force Jason Green to adjust MGM's priorities, or even force him to cancel the cooperation with MGM.

Jason Green is not stupid. Although what Lin Daoqiu said last sounds wonderful, it is very difficult in practice.

Convincing Paramount and Fox to let him make MGM the highest priority, and they can do nothing.

The only way is to increase the box office share of Paramount and Fox in RT theaters, but let alone Jason Green himself, no one will agree with him even on the board of directors.

"Mr. Lin, if I put MGM's priority at the same level as Paramount and Fox, what do you think?"

Jason Green was testing Lin Daoqiu's attitude. He certainly didn't want to end up with Paramount and Fox. The best way was to neutralize and lower Lin Daoqiu's demands.

"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to this proposal. I must either set MGM's priority to the highest level, or pretend that I haven't been here today."

Lin Daoqiu's attitude is also very firm. There is no need to discuss this matter at all. If Jason Green is still fantasizing about being able to average his demands, then Lin Daoqiu's final answer can only be opposition.

Jason Green, who originally had no expectations for Lin Daoqiu's visit, now has a completely different state of mind than he did in an hour.

For those wonderful baits thrown by Lin Daoqiu, Jason Green knew that this was a huge trap, but he couldn't help but think about how delicious the bait in the trap was.

Once what Lin Daoqiu said is true, the income of RT Cinemas will be greatly improved in the future, which he and the directors of the company are very happy to see.

Just agreeing to Lin Daoqiu will offend the other two companies, which is also the key to Jason Green's inability to take this step immediately.

Looking at Jason Green's tangled expression, Lin Daoqiu also knew that he might not be able to make a decision right away.

"I don't know what Mr. Green thinks about the next Christmas schedule?"

Lin Daoqiu continued to press hard, but the way he pressed the opponent was not to continue the topic just now, but to change the topic to the next Christmas schedule.

Jason Green didn't understand why Lin Daoqiu suddenly raised this question, but he still gave his own judgment based on his years of experience in the film industry.

"The three films "Rush Hour", "Life of Dawn" and "Star Trek 4: Saving the Future" can be said to be the most powerful contenders for this year's Christmas schedule."

In Jason Green's view, the winner of this year's Christmas schedule will definitely be born in these three movies.

If Lin Daoqiu asked Jason Green this question a week ago, he thinks that the winner of this year's Christmas schedule should be MGM.

It's just that things took a huge turning point at this time, that is, Lin Daoqiu canceled the cooperation with ACC Cinemas.

In the case of losing 2000 yuan for the screen, wanting to beat Paramount's "Star Trek 4: Rescue the Future" undoubtedly added unimaginable difficulty to MGM.

"I know that RT Theaters has already given most of the screens to "Star Trek 4: Saving the Future". I really came here today to hope that Mr. Green can change his mind and give me all the screens..."

Just as Jason Green was about to speak, Lin Daoqiu suddenly raised his head and interrupted what he wanted to say next.

"However, I also know that it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Green to do this now. Not only is it against the rules, but it will also bring huge troubles to RT Cinemas."

In fact, Lin Daoqiu is also very clear that it is impossible to get the priority of RT theaters in this year's Christmas schedule, but he still has to show his attitude.

As long as Paramount's "Star Trek 4: Saving the Future" is defeated by him during the Christmas period this year, the attitude of the RT Cinemas' board of directors, including Jason Green himself, will definitely change.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your understanding. If you could discuss these matters with RT Cinemas earlier, I might be able to help, but it is too late now."

Jason Green is very grateful to Lin Daoqiu for his understanding. After all, he didn't force himself to give him the number of screens allocated to Paramount.

"However, even without the screens of the ACC theaters and the help of the RT theaters, I can still assure Mr. Green that in this year's Christmas schedule, the box office of "Star Trek 4: Saving the Future" will only be ranked first." In third."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Jason Green and said these words with a smile. It seemed that Lin Daoqiu had strong confidence at this time.

Looking at Lin Daoqiu in front of him, Jason Green had only one sentence in his mind, that is, it is good to be young.
