Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1724 Tsui Hark's Strangeness

The Asian theater circuit is a big plan for Lin Daoqiu in the future.

In Xiangjiang, Baodao and several countries in Southeast Asia, it is not too difficult for Lin Daoqiu to build a theater chain.

It's just that the situation in Hanguo and Neon is a bit special. If Lin Daoqiu wants to open theaters there, the difficulty can be said to be not ordinary.

Therefore, Lin Daoqiu's current focus is still on markets other than Hanguo and Neon, and speed up the pace of layout.

And the first thing he has to do now is the theaters in Xiangjiang and Baodao.

Judging from Wu Chou's feedback to her, the progress on Treasure Island is not bad, and forty theaters have been settled in the early stage.

Wu Chou said that if you work hard, it should double or even reach a hundred in two years.

Lin Daoqiu's expectation for Taiwan Cinemas is that eighty theaters will be enough, and too many will not work.

However, he hoped that the Baodao theater chain would open this year, and the number of theaters should reach at least 100, and it would not be the kind of small theater located in a remote place. After all, that kind of theater only has dozens to more than [-] seats.

Even if you buy ten theaters, it's still not worth one theater in the city, and you need a lot of people to manage it.

So he told Li Maowen to tell Wu Chou and others from the beginning that the target of the acquisition could only be the theater in the city.

It is also because of such restrictions that so far, with Wu Chou's strength in Treasure Island, he can only buy forty.

Because the recent atmosphere in Baodao is more regular, even if Li Zhengnan knew that Lin Daoqiu had arrived in Baodao, he did not show up, but sent Liao Xiangxiong to the hotel to meet Lin Daoqiu.

Liao Xiangxiong also vaguely reminded Lin Daoqiu during his conversation that it is best not to mention the matter of the TV station now, because it is useless to mention it.

Lin Daoqiu said that he knew how to measure, this time he came to Baodao just for the premiere of "Swordsman" and he had to deal with the theater, he didn't come to urge Li Zhengnan.

Liao Xiangxiong was very happy when he heard it. After all, Li Zhengnan is so busy now that he almost stays in the office except for the rest time.

But those who know the inside story are actually very clear that Li Zhengnan is not as busy as he appears, he is just pretending to be busy.

Now, although the surface looks calm outside, there is actually a dark tide surging underneath.

For a person like Li Zhengnan who has the opportunity to take over the big position, the more it is at this time, the more he must keep a low profile, and he must not make any troubles, and he must not do nothing.

That's why he came up with a way to pretend to be busy. Anyway, no one would dare to expose him face to face, unless that person was crazy.

Even Liao Xiangxiong himself didn't stay in Lin Daoqiu's room for too long, he left after talking with Lin Daoqiu for less than half an hour.

It can be said that Lin Daoqiu doesn't like the atmosphere of Treasure Island, and he doesn't like to be mixed with these messy things.

Fortunately, the premiere of "Swordsman" will be here soon, Lin Daoqiu can go back to Xiangjiang after attending the premiere.

As for the issue of theaters, Wu Chou has been dealing with it. After all, this time he was only asked to buy theaters, and it was not a difficult matter.

This time, when Wu Chou was asked to buy a theater, Lin Daoqiu strictly forbade stealing and extorting.

Wu Chou repeatedly stated that he would never do this, and even though he was in Mulian, in fact he has seldom asked about Mulian in recent years.

Especially after Mulian's boss was brought in by the Yiqing project, Mulian's activities were not as rampant as before.

But even so, Mulian is still the biggest force in Baodao at this time, and this has not changed.

Wu Chou and Lin Daoqiu have been dating for many years, and he feels more and more that it is not a good way to hang around in the road, so he decides to switch careers to clean up.

If it was someone else, it must be very difficult to really clean up.

However, Wu Chou's luck can be said to be very good. He met Lin Daoqiu, and with the support of the other party, his transformation path can be said to be very easy.

Wu Chou was also very grateful to Lin Daoqiu, so he followed Lin Daoqiu's words completely when it came to buying the theater this time.

One must know that Wu Chou used to be a guy who was known as a ghost, but on Lin Daoqiu's side, he turned out to be a good gentleman, which really has to be surprising.

…………

At the beginning of the night, a large group of people in suits gathered around a theater in one of the busiest streets in Beishi.

Today is the day of the premiere of "Swordsman", and many viewers who have come here especially have already bought tickets and plan to enter.

Although this is a costume drama, Lin Qingxia participated in this drama, which can be said to be very attractive to the audience in Baodao.

Not to mention that "Swordsman" is one of the most famous novels written by Jin Yong. I don't know how many readers have read this book. Everyone is also very curious about what King Hu and Tsui Hark made of "Swordsman" Sample.

"The pre-sale situation is very good, and today's tickets have all been sold out just now."

Fang Jinsheng has been watching the ticket sales situation, and when all the theater tickets are sold out, he immediately reports to Lin Daoqiu.

"This is a good start. I believe that after watching this drama, the box office will definitely get better and better as word of mouth grows."

Lin Daoqiu is still very confident in "Swordsman". After all, the plot of this drama has been slightly modified, but "A Laugh from the Sea" has still become the theme song of this drama.

In Lin Daoqiu's view, "Swordsman" should be the same as before, setting off a new wave of martial arts movies in the entire Chinese world.

"What do you think of the sequel?"

There was still half an hour before the premiere, and Lin Daoqiu and the creator of "Swordsman" were still waiting in a nearby hotel.

Before going to the theater, Lin Daoqiu chatted with Tsui Hark about the sequel of "Swordsman".

Before the movie was released, Lin Daoqiu already wanted to talk to himself about the sequel, which was naturally a good thing for Tsui Hark.

It's just that before he answered Lin Daoqiu, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Hu Jinquan next to him.

Discovering Tsui Hark's strange behavior, Lin Daoqiu could probably guess what Tsui Hark was thinking.

During the filming of "Swordsman" in the last life, Tsui Hark and Hu Jinquan had a lot of conflicts, and Hu Jinquan was so angry that he left in the later stage. In the end, Tsui Hark finished the filming.

In this life, Tsui Hark and Hu Jinquan did not have a falling out because they were suppressed by themselves.

But looking at Tsui Hark's appearance, you can tell that if "Swordsman" is going to make a sequel, it is unlikely that he will want to cooperate with Hu Jinquan.
