Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1782 Come Back

Lin Daoqiu didn't know that Hong Jinbao and others would be there, after all, he was not so predictable.

Part of the reason why these four studios will fall to New Oriental so quickly is because of the box office performance of "The Return of the Great Sage".

Of course, the biggest reason was that Lin Daoqiu met them personally. Although the conversation between the two sides was not long, they still gave Lin Daoqiu their noble heads in the end.

Lowering their heads is at most just a little bit of face loss for them, but what they get in exchange is real profits.

"1992", which will be released next year, and the films produced by New Oriental this year can all be represented by them.

Before the establishment of the Asian theater chain, they could even get films from New Oriental according to the previous sharing plan.

Although there is not much time left for them, judging from the current situation, the strategy of Lin Daoqiu Asian Cinemas is unstoppable.

If they continue to bite the bullet and confront Lin Daoqiu head-on, there will definitely be no good results in the end.

So under such a premise, they had no choice but to agree to withdraw from United Cinemas and switch to New Oriental.

Ever since Sammo Hung saw those four filmmakers, his mood plummeted immediately, because this was the result that he and everyone in United Cinemas did not want to see.

"Now the biggest pillars of the United Cinemas are only two companies in the neon market, Toei and Shochiku, but within a year, they will also fall to New Oriental."

If the words Lin Daoqiu said before were enough to make Hong Jinbao tremble with fear.

Then he will make Shochiku and Toei fall to New Oriental within a year, which is likely to be the last straw that crushes the United Cinemas.

Everyone present did not dare to make a sound, they all quietly listened to what Lin Daoqiu was saying.

Originally, most of the people here felt that United Cinemas would maintain a balance of power with New Oriental for at least two or three years.

After Lin Daoqiu Asian Cinemas was established, they would slowly decline and finally disband.

But now it seems that Lin Daoqiu wants to advance the disbandment of United Cinemas by several years, and no one doubts that Lin Daoqiu will not be able to do this.

"San Mao, A Biao, you all contributed a lot to the first "Master Qian" I filmed, and it was because of this that I had a good starting point, so I hope you can return to New Oriental and work together .”

Lin Daoqiu can be regarded as a nostalgic person. When he filmed the first "Master Qian" in Xiangjiang, he found Yuen Biao as the starring role, and Sammo Hung even played a guest role in it.

Although Lin Daoqiu is a time traveler, but in any case, the drama "Master Qian" helped him the most is Hong Jiaban, so he is willing to forgive Hong Jinbao and Yuen Biao, and wants to invite them back to New Oriental.

If it was someone else, Lin Daoqiu might not even pay attention to them, allowing them to disappear from the Hong Kong film circle together with the United Cinemas.

Lin Daoqiu's words touched Hong Jinbao and Yuen Biao a lot. It is absolutely impossible to say that they have no idea at all.

The United Cinemas has now gone to Molu. Without the support of the port, it is absolutely impossible to make any money by relying on the Xiangjiang market alone.

As the old saying goes, someone does the business of beheading, but no one does the business of losing money. If it keeps operating at a loss, Lin Daoqiu does not believe that the United Cinemas can survive.

Even if they have money to burn, they can still compare to themselves, not to mention that they are still the one making money.

After Lin Daoqiu came up with the strategy of the Asian theater chain, the ending of the United theater chain was actually doomed to end in failure.

"Thank you Mr. Lin for your appreciation, but we still need some time to think about it."

This time, Sammo Hung did not directly reject Lin Daoqiu's kindness. After all, the situation is now very clear. If he doesn't think about himself, he has to think about a large number of brothers such as Yuen Biao and Hong Jiaban.

After all, many of them are dependent on their families and rely on filming to make ends meet.

If he went to the death to offend Lin Daoqiu, when the United Cinemas collapsed, these people would probably have to change careers.

But the problem is that almost ninety-nine percent of these people have no education, and they have entered the film industry since they were young and started to play martial arts and supporting roles.

Many people are in their 30s and 40s. If they are kicked out of the film industry at this time, what else can they do?

"I will give you time. As long as you are willing to come back, all the previous things will be cancelled. I still keep my word."

Sammo Hung didn’t say anything, he just nodded.

Although he didn't immediately agree to Lin Daoqiu's return to New Oriental, some clues could be felt from his attitude and answers.

Sammo Hung brought Yuen Biao and the members of the Hong family class here just to congratulate Yuan Hua, but after this little episode, he no longer had the appetite to eat.

After talking to Yuan Hua briefly, he left with Yuan Biao and members of the Hong family.

"I really don't know what's good and what's wrong. Brother Qiu has said so much, but he still doesn't give Brother Qiu face. I really don't know how he is the big brother."

Wen Jun was very dissatisfied with Sammo Hung for not agreeing immediately. In his opinion, Sammo Hung should have agreed immediately as soon as Lin Daoqiu proposed it.

"Brother actually has his own concerns, please forgive me, Mr. Lin."

Yuan Hua didn't want Wen Jun's words to make Lin Daoqiu dissatisfied, so he quickly explained to Lin Daoqiu.

Naturally, Lin Daoqiu would not change his mind because of Wen Jun's words. Lin Daoqiu could probably guess what Sammo Hung thought.

If Lin Daoqiu didn't think there was a chance to bring them back, he wouldn't take the initiative to talk to the other party about this.

How can I say that Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are both at their prime at this time, if they are allowed to withdraw from Hong Kong's films at this time, it will definitely be a huge loss to the film industry.

"Eat what you have, don't talk so much nonsense, I know what kind of people San Mao and A Biao are like better than you."

Lin Daoqiu glared directly at Wen Jun, and the other party immediately shrank his head, not daring to speak ill of Sammo Hung and the others anymore.

After all, Lin Daoqiu had already opened his mouth. If he continued to talk about them, it would be tantamount to contradicting Lin Daoqiu in public. This is not a wise choice.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Lin brought someone here to toast you."

At this moment, Brigitte Lin suddenly brought a few people over to toast Lin Daoqiu.

As soon as Lin Daoqiu saw Lin Qingxia walking towards him, his heart immediately rose to his throat.

After all, at this moment, there are many pairs of eyes staring at him. Lin Daoqiu doesn't want anything to happen tonight that will make him helpless.
