Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1683 Take back what belongs to me
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Daoqiu officially ended his vacation and returned to New Oriental to work.

Not long after he arrived at the company, Fang Jinsheng sent the box office records of the past few days to Lin Daoqiu's desk.

"Rich Train", "Overlord Flower", "Best Partner", "Shaolin Boxing King", the box office results are arranged in order.

What's interesting is that after Maijia and the others went to the Xiangjiang Cinemas yesterday, the number of "Shaolin King of Boxers" still hasn't been adjusted today.

We must know that the attendance rate of this drama has dropped to [-]%, and judging from the current situation, the box office performance of "Shaolin Boxing King" has reached its peak, and it is estimated that it will continue to decline from today.

"Boss, the number of sessions of "Shaolin Boxing King" has not been adjusted yet, do you want me to call Ding Yunsheng?"

Fang Jinsheng carefully consulted Lin Daoqiu.

But Lin Daoqiu shook his head directly.

"No need, just pretend that you don't know about it. If Majia and the others ask, reply to them as I just said."

Seeing this, Fang Jinsheng immediately nodded yes, and then left Lin Daoqiu's office.

Although I don't know what Lin Daoqiu is thinking, but since the other party said so, Fang Jinsheng must follow suit.

Originally, I thought that if Ding Yunsheng adjusted the number of sessions today, then Lin Daoqiu could still pretend that nothing happened.

But since I gave them the opportunity, if they didn't grasp it, they could only blame them for not seeing their own abilities clearly.

Counting that Xiangjiang Cinemas has been taken away by Run Run Shaw for more than a year, Lin Daoqiu has been very cooperative with the other party's work during this period, and everyone has been living in peace.

It's just that Fang Yihua probably forgot that the biggest reason why they were able to get Xiangjiang Cinemas back then was that he was willing to let go.

If Lin Daoqiu chose to fight Fang Yihua and the others to the end, it is not certain who will win.

After more than a year, Lin Daoqiu's strength has increased a lot. Just buying MGM and gaining a foothold in Hollywood has earned Lin Daoqiu a lot of international reputation.

The current Lin Daoqiu is no longer the same as he was more than a year ago.

As a special commissioner of the Overseas Distribution Department of the Electric Power Management Bureau, Li Maowen has been sitting in this position for more than a year.

At the beginning, Lin Daoqiu sent him to the Electricity Management Bureau as a special commissioner, because he wanted Li Maowen to help control the channels for selling ports in Xiangjiang.

Judging from the past one and a half years, Li Maowen has done a good job, but what he did best was not business matters, but the matter that Lin Daoqiu told him to build a good relationship with the Electric Power Management Bureau and the senior management. thing.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu had always followed the route of independent development from his debut to his fortune, and the upper class ignored him, and he didn't take part in any banquets of the Hong Kong government or enterprises.

Except for some movie-related celebrations, Lin Daoqiu was hardly seen in the upper class of Xiangjiang.

However, since the release of the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act", Lin Daoqiu realized that if he continues to go on like this, it will never be of any benefit to himself and New Oriental.

The "Xiangjiang Film Management Act" promoted by Uncle Liu alone shattered his dream of dominating Xiangjiang. This is definitely a painful lesson for Lin Daoqiu.

Now the right time, place and people have gradually sided with Lin Daoqiu. In addition, Fang Yathua made such a move this time, which further strengthened Lin Daoqiu's idea of ​​taking Xiangjiang Cinemas back.

"Mr. Lin, are you looking for me?"

Li Maowen was called to his office by Lin Daoqiu.

"Maowen, I plan to bring Xiangjiang Cinemas back."

As soon as Li Maowen sat down, Lin Daoqiu said something that shocked him.

Lin Daoqiu wants to take back Xiangjiang Cinemas, which is a very big event, and this is what he most hopes to hear after waiting for more than a year.

"Mr. Lin, I don't know what I need to do now?"

Li Maowen suppressed his excitement, he just wanted to know what task Lin Daoqiu would assign to him.

Although Lin Daoqiu had already made up his mind to bring back Xiangjiang Cinemas, Uncle Liu and the Hong Kong government must not be able to solve it very well.

"If the Hong Kong government were to cancel the Hong Kong Film Management Act, what do you think is the chance of success given the current situation?"

Lin Daoqiu wanted to hear Li Maowen's opinion first. After all, he had been in the Electricity Management Bureau for more than a year, and he had been in contact with the upper management for a long time, so he understood the thinking of the higher-level people better.

Regarding Lin Daoqiu's question, the expression on Li Maowen's face looked a lot more dignified than before.

"It's hard. The Hong Kong film market grew by 20.00% last year. It can be said that the Electric Power Management Bureau is very satisfied with the current situation, and the top management of the Hong Kong government also holds the same view."

After Xiangjiang Cinemas was integrated by Sir Run Run Shaw, the box office naturally rose steadily, and with the smooth sales, it can be said that Xiangjiang Films will almost certainly continue to rise.

At this time, if someone stood up and sang against him, he would probably be sprayed to death by others.

"If New Oriental leaves the Xiangjiang market, what kind of impact do you think Xiangjiang Films will have?"

As soon as Lin Daoqiu said this, Li Maowen was obviously frightened, and the expression on his face immediately became very exaggerated.

If Lin Daoqiu really wanted New Oriental to withdraw from Xiangjiang's film market, it would definitely be a huge loss for Xiangjiang Films.

"Don't be so surprised. I don't intend to stop production. I just squeezed the films I made to be released next year, or I didn't release them in Xiangjiang at all, and went directly to the road of selling ports."

Li Maowen didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu planned to use this method, but it has to be said that this method is indeed the most deadly.

If the Hong Kong government turns a deaf ear to it, the growth rate of the Hong Kong film market will plummet next year.

Golden Harvest has already sunk into the sky at this time, and only Di Bao's combination of Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao can still sell well. If they alone want to prop up Xiangjiang's movie market, it can be said that it is simply a dream.

"Aaron will stay in Hollywood this year to film, and Qingxia will also go to Hollywood to film the sequel of "Tomb Raider". In addition, I plan to start a few films in Hollywood."

These are all planned by Lin Daoqiu before, even if there is no such thing as this time, it will be carried out.

"If it's only a year, there should be no problem."

Li Maowen was the general manager of Xiangjiang Cinemas and New Oriental before he became the special commissioner. In his opinion, as long as the arrangements are made properly, it is fine for New Oriental not to release a single movie a year.

"You will resign from the Electric Power Management Bureau tomorrow and return to New Oriental as the general manager."

Lin Daoqiu will do what he said, and he plans to wait for the release of "Best Partner" and "Overlord Flower" before officially announcing the news of the closure of New Oriental.

I believe that when this news comes out, it will definitely cause a storm in Xiangjiang.
