Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1746
"After a period of discussion by the Hong Kong government, during which the opinions of experts and practitioners in the film industry were also consulted. After soliciting extensive opinions, the "Hong Kong Film Management Act" will be officially abolished."

Wei Yixin announced the news in public when he was interviewed by reporters in the Hong Kong government office.

The "Xiangjiang Film Management Act" was originally established to deal with Lin Daoqiu, and now it is abolished, which also completely declares that the shackles on Lin Daoqiu's shoulders have been completely removed.

At the same time Wei Yixin announced the decision, the screening of "Swordsman" in Xiangjiang also ended smoothly.

It took 2000 million at the box office in the first week, and it dropped slightly in the second week, but in the end, the first part of "Swordsman" still won 600 million at the box office in Xiangjiang.

And after the release of "Swordsman", it also indicates that Xiangjiang Cinemas will officially disintegrate.

According to the previous agreement, Lin Daoqiu divided Xiangjiang Cinemas into three, Golden Harvest and Dibao bought 36 theaters each, and Lin Daoqiu monopolized [-] theaters.

The acquisition process of Lin Jianyue's Lixin Theater is also very smooth. Most of the 38 theaters have been bought, and only a small part is still in the process of bargaining.

"There is something I want to ask Mr. Pan."

"Mr. Lin, please."

On the day of the signing, Lin Daoqiu invited Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng to the office of Xiangjiang Cinemas.

Before signing, Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked a question.

"I don't know what kind of name you plan to name the joint cinema chain formed by the three of you? Do you want to continue to use the Xiangjiang cinema line?"

Lin Daoqiu was quite curious about this. He wanted to know what name Pan Disheng and the others planned to name their new theater chain.

To Lin Daoqiu's question, Pan Disheng replied with a smile.

"We will not continue to use the name Xiangjiang Cinemas. The reason why we used this name at the beginning was all because of Liu Shu's decision. This time we feel that since it is a new start, we must have a new name."

Lin Daoqiu nodded while listening, he was just asking casually.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, the lawyers have read the contract, and we can sign it now."

Zou Wenhuai couldn't wait to get back his Golden Harvest Cinemas.

The pain of not having his own theater chain is a huge torture for Zou Wenhuai. He didn't feel so deeply when he had his own theater chain before.

But after he lost it, Zou Wenhuai realized that the theater chain was his lifeline, so this time he would not let go anyway, unless he planned to quit the film industry.

"Congratulations to the two of you. After nearly two years of tossing around, I finally got back my theater chain. It's really gratifying."

Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng pretended not to hear Lin Daoqiu's ridicule.

If they hadn't been whimsical at the beginning, they wouldn't have ended up like this now.

After two years of tossing in vain, Jiahe lost all his top cards, but Di Bao was better than Jiahe.

"Mr. Lin is polite, let's sign."

It seems that they don't want to be ridiculed by Lin Daoqiu any more. Now Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng just want to sign their names and stay away from Lin Daoqiu.

It can be seen that the two of them don't seem to want to chat with him, and Lin Daoqiu is not trying to force others.

After the three parties signed the contract with each other, Lin Daoqiu sold forty theaters in the Xiangjiang Cinema Line to Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng.

After the signature was signed, everything was settled, and Xiangjiang Cinemas also became history at this moment.

Of course, if Lin Daoqiu intends to continue to use this name, it is fine, it depends on whether he is willing to do so.

I don't know if it was because I felt a lot more relaxed after the matter was settled, but Pan Disheng suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Mr. Lin, I heard that you and Dongbao were cooperating to shoot a special effects movie. I don't know when that movie is going to be released?"

The filming of Lin Daoqiu's "1992" in Neon has long since ended, and Dykstra is now leading his team in post-processing in the United States.

Because Lin Daoqiu has already bought the relationship with MGM, Dykstra's work during this period has been focused on the United States, where Lin Daoqiu has invested [-] million US dollars to build a magic studio base.

It is also unavoidable to build a new base in Hollywood. First, it would be too troublesome if all the films shot in Hollywood were sent to Xiangjiang for post-production.

The second is because the base of the magic studio is set up in Hollywood, because it can attract more outstanding talents to join.

Compared with Xiangjiang, the United States can be said to be a complete talent pool, and almost all the best special effects talents in the world are born there.

So Lin Daoqiu thought about relying on the influence of this base to see if he could cultivate more outstanding special effects talents for himself.

"This movie is still in the later stage, and it will not be released until next year at the earliest."

The post-production of this movie is the most complicated and the most technically demanding for special effects since Dykstra started working on special effects.

Unlike the previous "Godzilla", almost 70.00% of the five or more segments of this disaster movie use special effects technology.

Even Lin Daoqiu had budgeted up to [-] million US dollars for this drama before.

But so far, the budget of this drama has been close to overrun, so Lin Daoqiu is bound to continue to throw money into it.

And this involves Dongbao. After all, Dongbao has also invested money in it, and the share has been agreed at the beginning.

If you want to continue to add funds now, the share will inevitably be adjusted.

Fortunately, this kind of thing is very common in the film industry, and Dongbao has encountered it many times before, so Lin Daoqiu is not worried about it.

"I heard that this special effects blockbuster is not inferior to the previous "Godzilla". If it is released in Xiangjiang, I believe it will cause another wave of movie watching."

Although Lin Daoqiu is very unimpressed, both Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng have to admit that if Lin Daoqiu claims to be the second in making special effects movies in this world, no one will dare to be the number one.

"Speaking of special effects movies, the magic studio in Hollywood has been officially put into use, so the workload of the magic studio in Xiangjiang has been greatly reduced."

Both Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng didn't know why Lin Daoqiu suddenly mentioned this matter, it seemed to have nothing to do with them.

However, Zou Wenhuai, who turned his head quickly, immediately realized what Lin Daoqiu meant.

Previously, the magic studio in Xiangjiang had been unable to participate more in the production of movies due to production capacity.

But now that the pressure here has been greatly reduced, it means that Xiangjiang's magic studio will be more involved in the production of Xiangjiang films in the future.

Thinking of this, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but secretly sighed. I'm afraid the situation they will face next will be even more difficult.
