Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1704 is targeted
It stands to reason that Lin Daoqiu's departure from the Xiangjiang film industry should be a happy thing for some people.

But as the theoretical biggest beneficiary this time, Run Run Shaw couldn't be happier.

At the beginning, he joined forces with Zou Wenhuai, Pan Disheng and others to formulate the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act" to suppress Lin Daoqiu and prevent him from completely controlling the Hong Kong film market.

Now that Lin Daoqiu has put New Oriental away, it means that Run Run Shaw's approach has won a complete victory.

However, for Run Run Shaw, forcing Lin Daoqiu out of Xiangjiang's film market was definitely not his original intention, and it was definitely not the result he wanted to see.

What he hopes to see most is that Lin Daoqiu can always help him work.

As long as he controls most of the theaters in Xiangjiang, Lin Daoqiu's movie must be shown in Xiangjiang theaters if he wants to be released in Xiangjiang. This is tantamount to helping him work in disguise.

It can be said that Run Run Shaw has been doing business with steady profits all along, and as the film market in Xiangjiang becomes more and more prosperous, he earns more and more money.

But Run Run Shaw never imagined that Lin Daoqiu would choose to quit directly, which was far beyond his expectation.

"Li Maowen has already arrived in Baodao, and Tsui Hark and Hu Jinquan are also with him. They plan to put Tsui Hark's new play "Swordsman" on Baodao for the premiere."

There is also Shaw's branch in Baodao, and Run Run Shaw has cooperated with Baodao for many years, so he also has his own news channel there.

Run Run Shaw did not expect Lin Daoqiu to shift his position to Treasure Island. It seemed that he was really not putting on a show this time.

What Fang Yat-hua said next made Run Run Shaw even more nervous.

"It is said that Lin Daoqiu has already planned to form a new theater chain in Baodao. It seems that he is here for real this time."

With Lin Daoqiu's financial resources and strength, it is a breeze for him to form a theater chain in Baodao.

In addition, the population of Baodao is four times larger than that of Xiangjiang. If Lin Daoqiu is willing to cultivate deeply, maybe he can really develop the market of Baodao.

And unlike Xiangjiang, he may be able to influence the upper class in Xiangjiang, but as far as Run Run Shaw knows, Lin Daoqiu and Li Zhengnan from Baodao have a very close friendship.

If you want to implement a similar "Xiangjiang Film Management Act" to deal with Lin Daoqiu in Baodao, it can be said to be almost impossible.

What worried Run Run Shaw even more was that everyone knew very well that Lin Daoqiu was responsible for a large part of the reason why Xiangjiang's film market became as prosperous as it is now.

Now that Lin Daoqiu has shifted his position to Treasure Island, he doesn't need to guess to know that there will be a magnetic effect.

With the current strength of Golden Harvest and Dibao, it is [-]% impossible to maintain the previous glory of Xiangjiang movies.

"Lin Daoqiu intends to use this trick to force Xiangjiang's film industry to stand up and abolish the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act." Of course, it will also drive us out of Xiangjiang theaters."

There is a saying that cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.

Originally, everyone was happily making money, and everything was fine.

But when they slowly find that the money is getting less and less, they will start to look for the reason.

When the reason is found out, I'm afraid I will become the target of public criticism.

Although Run Run Shaw is quite famous in Xiangjiang, if that time really comes, he may have to be forced to compromise.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that the income of Xiangjiang Cinemas will drop sharply in the future, which is a headache for Run Run Shaw.

He controls almost [-]% of the theaters in Xiangjiang Cinemas. Although the income is high, the expenses will naturally not be low.

I'm afraid it won't last for a few years at that time, and I will resell Xiangjiang Cinemas.

Fang Yihua couldn't think of any good solution, because Lin Daoqiu's goal this time was obvious, unless they were willing to give up Xiangjiang Cinemas, otherwise he would never give up.

But if they want to give up Xiangjiang Cinemas, all their previous efforts will be reduced to ashes, neither Run Run Shaw nor Fang Yat-wah will definitely not agree easily.

So this became a deadlock. Unlike before, this time time was on Lin Daoqiu's side.

…………

Standing outside the gate of New Oriental Company, Lin Daoqiu and a large group of people were standing at the gate, and a large number of reporters had already gathered outside.

Here today, Lin Daoqiu is going to hold a delisting ceremony, and also use this to announce to everyone that New Oriental will officially withdraw from Xiangjiang's film market.

Although this was Lin Daoqiu's move to retreat, but when he thought of taking down his own signboard, it was really not something to be happy about.

"Thank you for your appreciation. Today is the delisting ceremony of New Oriental, which also means that starting today, New Oriental will officially close its film production company in Xiangjiang and withdraw from the film market in Xiangjiang."

When Lin Daoqiu said this, even though the reporters at the scene knew the news before they came, it still caused a commotion.

As the most powerful and famous New Oriental Film Company in Xiangjiang, Lin Daoqiu unexpectedly chose to quit at the most glorious moment of Xiangjiang movies. No one could understand what he was thinking.

"When I founded New Oriental Film Company, the purpose was to make more high-quality movies to give back to audiences and friends. Over the past few years, New Oriental has also produced some high-quality movies. I am very pleased."

"I know that everyone has a lot of questions, but in the final analysis, the reason why New Oriental wants to withdraw from Xiangjiang's film market is because of the harsh living environment. You heard me right. Both New Oriental and I have been targeted."

Although everyone will not say it publicly, everyone is very clear that when the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act" was established, the goal was to directly target New Oriental and Lin Daoqiu.

Now Lin Daoqiu couldn't bear it anymore, he directly told the truth, which made the reporters on the scene even more excited.

"Everyone knows what's going on, and I don't plan to say anything more. The green mountains will not change and the green water will flow forever. I hope to see you again in the future."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he didn't give reporters a chance to ask questions, and then directly started the delisting ceremony.

After he took down the plaque of Xiangjiang Film Company hanging at the door with the help of others, someone put away the plaque soon.

The delisting ceremony was very short and ended in less than half an hour.

However, for those reporters who rushed to the scene, although they didn't get the chance to ask Lin Daoqiu questions, Lin Daoqiu's speeches just now were already very exciting, and they were not afraid of having nothing to write when they returned to the newspaper.
