Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1718 How to Divide

Although this matter was proposed by Pan Disheng himself, he didn't want to see Lin Daoqiu.

So this time everyone elected He Guanchang to be in charge of talking with Lin Daoqiu.

Speaking of which, He Guanchang and Lin Daoqiu are old acquaintances, and his prestige and status in the Xiangjiang film circle is there, and the weight is definitely enough.

The next day He Guanchang came to New Oriental to meet Lin Daoqiu.

Although New Oriental has been put away, it just took off the brand of New Oriental. Lin Daoqiu's staff of New Oriental are still working here.

"Why is Mr. He coming to see me for tea when he is free?"

Regarding He Guanchang's visit, Lin Daoqiu felt very strange. He had already explained everything to them clearly last night. Why did He Guanchang come to the door so quickly?
"I don't know how many people in Xiangjiang want to have a cup of tea with Mr. Lin, but I am honored to have this opportunity."

Although he said so, but if he could choose, He Guanchang really didn't want to drink tea with Lin Daoqiu, after all, it's not speculative.

It was obvious at a glance that He Guanchang didn't mean what he said, but Lin Daoqiu didn't care too much.

He just looked at the other party quietly, waiting for He Guanchang to tell his reason for coming.

"It's actually like this. I came to see Mr. Lin today because I want to discuss something with you."

"Mr. He, please tell me."

Lin Daoqiu did not show any expression of resistance, which was a good start for He Guanchang.

"For more than a year, Golden Harvest has been thinking about it, and feels that the "Hong Kong Film Management Act" is a very big constraint on Mr. Lin and us, and even this bill is the same for the entire Hong Kong film circle... ..."

"And after consulting the opinions of many film practitioners in Hong Kong, I am here today to ask Mr. Lin to join us in asking the Hong Kong government to abolish the "Hong Kong Film Management Act."

He Guanchang actually proposed to abolish the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act", which surprised Lin Daoqiu.

But it's actually quite normal when you think about it. The biggest reason why Golden Harvest has declined so quickly is because it has lost control of the theater chain.

Regardless of the fact that Xiangjiang Cinemas distributes everyone's schedule equally, Golden Harvest actually doesn't have any advantage.

In the past, when Golden Harvest has theaters, they don't need to care about the schedule at all, and they can arrange whatever they want for the movies they make.

And you can join forces with Dibao to fight against yourself.

But since losing Golden Harvest Cinemas, Golden Harvest's strength can be said to be greatly reduced, and even its own signature star can't be retained.

"Mr. He, if the "Hong Kong Film Management Act" is abolished, I'm afraid Golden Harvest and Dibao won't last long. Are you sure you really want to do this?"

Lin Daoqiu was not just talking casually. Before the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act" was introduced, Lin Daoqiu had already overwhelmed Jiahe and Dibao.

If they hadn't been fooled by them, I'm afraid they would have surrendered by now, or they were already lingering.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured that this is not just Golden Harvest's own opinion, but also most of the other film companies. As long as you are willing to nod, I believe this matter can be easily resolved."

He Guanchang certainly knows how much pressure there will be on them after the abolition of the "Hong Kong Film Management Act".

But as Pan Disheng said last night, rather than being tortured to death by Lin Daoqiu, it is better to fight, even if you lose, it is your own decision.

If it was in normal times, He Guanchang would definitely vote against this kind of risky thing.

But now at this time, it was time to show the determination to break the boat, otherwise Jiahe might not be able to last long if it went on like this.

"Unfortunately, I really hated the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act" before, but now I think this bill is quite good, so I will not co-sign with you."

Lin Daoqiu knew very well that the reason why He Guanchang and the others wanted to stand up to abolish the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act" was entirely because they wanted to fight their own life and death with themselves.

He wasn't afraid to fight them, but why did He Guanchang and the others want to dance with them?
As long as the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act" is in place, he can win the Xiangjiang Cinemas at that time, and he can completely control the production of movies without opening a film company.

When the time comes, let the directors and screenwriters in your hands go out independently, whether it's starting a company or opening a personal film studio, all of these are up to them.

"Mr. Lin, if you control both the film company and the theater chain, wouldn't it be even more powerful? If there is the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act", it will not be easy for you to participate in the production of the film."

It doesn't matter if Lin Daoqiu insists on doing this. Since they can't get Lin Daoqiu to vote for it, they can only try to keep an eye on those people and do everything they can to prevent Lin Daoqiu from investing in them.

They can even find a way to set up a review body to prevent people from violating this treaty.

The review organization was not set up before because Run Run Shaw had already won the Xiangjiang Cinemas, so there was no need to make an unnecessary move, but the situation is different now.

Anyway, if Lin Daoqiu disagrees, they can only try to add obstacles to Lin Daoqiu instead.

"If you want me to vote for it, it's okay, but I have to take it all from Xiangjiang Cinemas."

"No, Xiangjiang Cinemas must be split according to the ownership before the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act" was filed."

Let Lin Daoqiu take away all the Xiangjiang theaters, so what's the fight for them, they just raised their hands and surrendered.

"Going around and back to the original point, Mr. He thinks I have so much strength to play with you?"

Lin Daoqiu would definitely not agree to the previous split of Xiangjiang Cinemas.

"Mr. Lin, even if we get the theater back, it's nothing to you. Don't you have any confidence in yourself?"

He Guanchang suddenly used aggressive tactics against Lin Daoqiu. Although this trick is old-fashioned, it is still very effective sometimes.

It's a pity that Lin Daoqiu knew that He Guanchang was using aggressive tactics as soon as he heard it, and he didn't bother to talk to him.

"Whether I have confidence in myself is my own business, but I will not agree to split up Xiangjiang Cinemas as before. If you have to do this, you can do it, but I will take at least [-] theaters."

Originally, before the split of Xiangjiang Cinemas, New Oriental had 24 theaters, Golden Harvest had 76 theaters, Dibao Cinemas had [-] theaters, and Chenggong Cinemas had [-] theaters. Together, Xiangjiang Cinemas had a total of [-] theaters. home theater.

Now Lin Daoqiu will take away [-] theaters as soon as he opens his mouth, which is [-] more than the original New Oriental theater chain.

If the remaining 36 were divided between Golden Harvest and Di Bao, they would only be able to get [-]. Neither He Guanchang nor Pan Disheng would agree to this distribution.
