Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1785 Good luck

Fang Jinsheng has always been by Lin Daoqiu's side, and he has been diligent and diligent in his work these years. It can be said that he is Lin Daoqiu's confidant, so speaking of it, he is indeed a very important person to Lin Daoqiu.

However, when Brigitte Lin and Zhong Chuhong mentioned important people, they definitely didn't mean Fang Jinsheng, but they were talking about which of the two of them was more important to Lin Daoqiu.

But Lin Daoqiu deliberately misunderstood what they meant, and assigned Fang Jinsheng the task of distributing red envelopes.

This made Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong didn't know what to say for a while, and they couldn't stand up and say that Fang Jinsheng was inappropriate.

After all, Fang Jinsheng has been helping them all these years, so they actually have a good impression of each other.

If it is right to stand up and say that Fang Jinsheng is not suitable at this time, it is obviously not right and wrong.

They were targeting Lin Daoqiu, and they would not vent their grievances on other irrelevant people.

So they could only give Lin Daoqiu a hard look, without saying a word of objection.

This time Lin Daoqiu played a clever trick to keep the two women speechless. At least judging from the current situation, the situation can still be controlled by him for the time being.

This kind of activity of gathering one's own women will not be done in the future if it can't be done. If it doesn't work, then I can only pretend to be sick.

"Thank you Mr. Lin..."

When the red envelopes were distributed, everyone responded enthusiastically.

Although the money in the red envelope is nothing to some people, it seems that they are still very happy when they get the red envelope.

Compared with getting the red envelope, in fact, what Lin Daoqiu said to Sammo Hung just now has been spread on the scene one after another.

United Cinemas has always been regarded as an opponent by New Oriental, but now their channel for selling ports has been cut off by Lin Daoqiu for the most part.

Even just now, Lin Daoqiu said that he would cut off the United Cinemas’ Neon channel within a year, which would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to United Cinemas.

As long as Xiangjiang has no United Cinemas, New Oriental will naturally become the overlord of Xiangjiang.

Once New Oriental unifies Xiangjiang's film market at that time, it will naturally be a happy event for them.

When Lin Daoqiu returned to his seat after sending out the red envelopes, he found that Brigitte Lin and Zhong Chuhong had long since disappeared.

He didn't know until after asking that the two women had already left one after the other.

It seemed that they didn't want to continue fighting in front of everyone. After all, this practice really hurt Lin Daoqiu's face.

However, this does not mean that they are willing to accept each other, at least for a long time in the future, they will not have any benign interactions.

Lin Daoqiu didn't expect them to get along well, as long as they didn't make trouble, Lin Daoqiu would already be Amitabha, so he wouldn't dare to think about the blessings of being equal to others.

…………

Lin Jianyue, Zou Wenhuai, and Pan Disheng were sitting on chairs, and below were He Guanchang, Liu Luanxiong, Cen Jianxun and others.

United Cinemas held a very important meeting the next day, and the topic of the meeting was of course to discuss the way forward for United Cinemas.

The markets of Baodao and Matai Feiyin have been cut off by Lin Daoqiu, and now they only have three markets in Singapore, Neon, and Hanguo as their partners.

But these three places combined are not as good as Dongbao, which shows how embarrassing the situation of the United Cinemas is at this time.

"From the current point of view, our income from selling ports this year will drop sharply by about [-]%, and if what Lin Daoqiu said is true, then we may only have [-]% to [-]% left."

And what's even more unfortunate is that they promised to give those partners [-]% of the share, plus some deductions for miscellaneous expenses, and in the end they only got [-]% of the income.

It can be said that it is almost absolutely impossible for such a small amount of money to support such a huge theater chain.

For example, if the United Cinemas could get 2000 million a year from the income of selling ports, then there may only be [-] to [-] million left.

The missing part is not a small amount of income for them, and it is enough to make several big productions.

"The current situation is like this. Let everyone talk about what they think."

Zou Wenhuai covered his head, it seemed that he was having a headache.

When he was fighting with Shaw Brothers before, he still relied on the support from Baodao to persevere.

But now that Treasure Island can't help them, and Lin Daoqiu's theater chain in Treasure Island has also opened, they can't beat Lin Daoqiu in Treasure Island.

As for places like Ma Taifei India, unless they are willing to spend a lot of money to invest in theaters there, they can only accept such a failure.

Unlike opening theaters in Xiangjiang, there are many ghosts and ghosts in the local area, and there are many places that need to be dealt with.

Moreover, those filmmakers have already transferred to Lin Daoqiu's side. When they go there to open theaters, they will not only face competition from New Oriental, but also face the targeting of local forces.

But these are not the key points, the most important thing is the quality of the movie.

Even Lin Jianyue, who has just entered the film industry, knows that the quality of New Oriental's films is higher than that of United Cinemas.

"The big deal is that we won't rely on selling ports in the future. We will focus on the local market in Xiangjiang. We can cut expenses at that time, and we will talk about it for a while."

Liu Luanxiong came here to deal with Lin Daoqiu, as long as he doesn't lose money, he thinks he can stick to it.

"Stay for a while? Making a movie is a business that requires spending money. Cutting expenses means that the quality of the movie will drop significantly. At that time, there will be fewer and fewer audiences, and it will only become a vicious circle in the end. .”

He Guanchang was very dissatisfied with Liu Luanxiong's remarks. He felt that the other party didn't understand movies at all, and only knew how to talk nonsense here.

He thought that making a movie was like starting a company, and he could survive by cutting expenses.

But for them, the movies produced will not deceive people. The audience spends real money to buy tickets to watch the movie. If the movies of the United Cinemas cannot attract them, they will go to other places.

"Although it hasn't happened yet, I think Mr. Lin may use extreme means to put pressure on us, such as banning the cast and crew who work with us."

Cen Jianxun's sudden words startled those who sat down again, but after thinking about it carefully, this possibility is not impossible.

Lin Daoqiu didn't do this before because even if he did, the effect would not be good.

But if he really does this now, then those well-known directors and stars will definitely not and will not dare to cooperate with the United Cinemas.

Coupled with the fact that the port was cut off, the expenditure has shrunk significantly, and people will definitely vote with their feet to go to places where they can earn more.

"Hey...is there really no other way?"

Pan Disheng couldn't help sighing, but judging from the current situation, it seemed that it was really difficult for them to survive this time.
