Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1749 New Oriental Pictures

It takes at least three to four years to build a shopping mall from the purchase of land to its completion, so Lin Daoqiu and Zhong Chuhong did not continue to chat about this topic.

For Zhong Chuhong, she now has a question that she really wants to get an answer from Lin Daoqiu.

"Now that New Oriental Cinemas has brought it back, shouldn't New Oriental also come back?"

Before that, Lin Daoqiu had publicly announced that New Oriental would be delisted.

However, just a few months later, the "Xiangjiang Film Management Act" was officially abolished. Zhong Chuhong felt that it was time for Lin Daoqiu to relist New Oriental.

Regarding this matter, Lin Daoqiu had already made a decision.

New Oriental will definitely come back, but he does not intend to use the previous name.

"Not bad, but this time New Oriental has to change its name."

The full name of Lin Daoqiu's company was New Oriental Film Co., Ltd.

Now that the company has taken off the brand, Lin Daoqiu has no plan to put the brand back up again.

"What do you want to change your name to?"

Zhong Chuhong was very curious about what kind of name Lin Daoqiu planned to change to New Oriental.

"New Oriental Pictures."

"To put it simply, it is a company specializing in the development of the film and television entertainment industry."

The name of New Oriental was changed from Film Co., Ltd. to New Oriental Films, shortening four characters, but it sounds a little more domineering than before.

Different from the previous New Oriental, today's Lin Daoqiu's strength has been greatly enhanced.

Xiangjiang owns New Oriental Cinemas, record companies, film companies, studios, and Oriental TV Station, and also bought MGM in Hollywood.

Coupled with the fact that Lin Daoqiu is now promoting the action of Asian theaters, the name New Oriental Film Co., Ltd. is no longer worthy of Lin Daoqiu's ambition.

Zhong Chuhong didn't even have a half-knowledge after listening to it, but she could feel that Lin Daoqiu seemed a little different from before.

Lin Daoqiu used to think about how to make a good movie, but now his thinking seems to be more complicated than before.

However, for most people, it is natural for a man to put his career first. Zhong Chuhong will not object and she will strongly support it.

It's just that if this is the case, will Lin Daoqiu spend less time with him in the future?

This had to make Zhong Chuhong start to worry.

Speaking of the topic of New Oriental Pictures, Lin Daoqiu suddenly thought of the opening drama "The Return of the Great Sage" of New Oriental.

Lin Daoqiu originally planned to spend [-] million U.S. dollars to shoot this drama, but the production progress of this drama is almost complete, and there is still some finishing work left.

"what are you thinking about?"

Finding that Lin Daoqiu suddenly stopped talking and stared blankly at the dinner plate, Zhong Chuhong thought something was wrong.

"Oh...it's nothing. Isn't the filming of "The Return of the Great Sage" about to finish? I'm thinking about that film."

Zhong Chuhong nodded while listening.

Speaking of "The Return of the Great Sage", Zhong Chuhong also played a guest role in it before, but she didn't have many roles.

As one of the most popular female stars in Xiangjiang at this time, Zhong Chuhong does not have the idea of ​​competing with others, she is always used to doing her own things well.

Just like this time in "The Return of the Great Sage", Zhong Chuhong never asked Lin Daoqiu to give her special treatment from the beginning to the end, and she did whatever the script asked her to do.

Of course, the premise is that the characters can't be too messy, otherwise Zhong Chuhong might not be able to accept it.

"Do you want to regard "The Return of the Great Sage" as the opening masterpiece of New Oriental Studios and New Oriental Pictures when New Oriental Pictures opened?"

Zhong Chuhong immediately thought of these from Lin Daoqiu's words.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Chuhong would be able to guess her thoughts all at once, and Lin Daoqiu was quite surprised by this.

But if you think about it carefully, the two of you have been together for so many years, you can be said to be an old married couple, even if you can't guess the other party's ten points, it shouldn't be difficult to guess three to five points.

"Yes, nearly [-] million US dollars has been spent on this drama, and so many things have happened to New Oriental recently, I plan to use this drama to shock Xiaoxiao."

The Xiaoxiao that Lin Daoqiu said was naturally referring to those people who caused trouble for him. Even if he didn't explain to Zhong Chuhong, he knew who Lin Daoqiu was talking about.

"This movie cost so much money to shoot, I can't even imagine it now."

Although there was a precedent of "Godzilla" before, "The Return of the Great Sage", a local movie in Hong Kong, cost [-] million US dollars to shoot. Not only Zhong Chuhong couldn't imagine it, but even everyone else was probably the same.

In fact, for Lin Daoqiu, the drama "The Return of the Great Sage" cannot be viewed with common sense. This drama was originally intended to be used as the opening masterpiece of the New Oriental studio.

It may not be able to recover the cost in Asia, but if you get it to Hollywood through the theater and video market, you can more or less get back the cost.

Moreover, there are two volumes of "The Return of the Great Sage", and with so many channels with [-]% discounts, the cost of [-] million US dollars will definitely be recovered in the end. This is beyond doubt.

But if he wanted to be as popular as "Godzilla", except in the Chinese world, Lin Daoqiu would not have such an idea at all in other places.

After all, "Journey to the West" is one of the four major masterpieces for Chinese, but for people from other countries, most of them don't understand or are not interested in Chinese culture.

Even if "The Return of the Great Sage" uses special effects to break through a part of the market this time, it is impossible to cause a huge sensation like "Godzilla".

Regarding this point, Lin Daoqiu has actually already been mentally prepared, so he actually doesn't have too many expectations for overseas box office.

""The Return of the Great Sage" is just an exception, and it is estimated that even if it is to be filmed in the future, it will not cost so much money."

In Lin Daoqiu's view, if he wants to make these blockbuster films, he may have to wait for 20 to 30 years. At that time, the mainland film market will gradually rise, and it will be the moment for the rise of domestic films.

What Lin Daoqiu is doing now can only be said to maintain Xiangjiang's market in Asia, but this method can be maintained for several years, and Lin Daoqiu himself has no way to control it.

"Now I want to see the finished film of this drama as soon as possible, and I believe that "The Return of the Great Sage" will definitely be very sensational."

"Don't worry, the production of this drama will be completed in about a month. By then, the Xintiandi Theater will also be renovated successfully. I plan to make a small premiere there."

Before, Lin Daoqiu watched the samples on the top floor of New Oriental, but this time, Lin Daoqiu planned to watch the samples of "The Return of the Great Sage" in the Xintiandi theater.

After all, watching movies in a small screening hall and a big theater are completely different feelings.
