Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1786 The ban is real

The circle of Xiangjiang film circle is not big, and there are only two companies, New Oriental and United Cinemas, and most people almost make films in these two companies.

Ever since the news about Lin Daoqiu at the celebration banquet of "The Return of the Great Sage" spread, it also started to arouse a sense of crisis among the people.

People who cooperate with New Oriental are naturally very happy, because they don't need to change anything, as long as they continue to cooperate with New Oriental.

But for the directors, screenwriters, and stars who cooperated with the United Cinemas, the news that the United Cinemas will collapse has begun to spread.

Even gossip has begun to fly all over the sky, and Lin Daoqiu's words have changed as they are passed on, causing them to become an embellished version in their ears.

For example, Lin Daoqiu wants to dismember the United Cinemas, and also ban those cast and crew who cooperate with the United Cinemas.

Although some people think that these rumors are not possible at all, after all, there are so many people who cooperate with United Cinemas, can Lin Daoqiu stop them all?
But another part of the people is still worried that if the New Oriental family becomes a big one at that time, it will not be a simple matter for Lin Daoqiu to block anyone.

Especially those famous or relatively popular stars and directors, their life can be said to be very difficult now.

Now they have begun to face a choice, either leave the United Cinemas and switch to New Oriental, so that they can escape.

But if they continue to stay in the United Cinemas, when the United Cinemas collapses in the future, I am afraid that they will not have the opportunity to act in movies, and it is even more impossible to become popular.

"Rumors are flying all over the sky recently, and I don't know what everyone thinks?"

As an independent filmmaker, Wu Ma has always been outside New Oriental and United Cinemas.

But because he has a good relationship with Sammo Hung, he collaborated with Di Bao in most of his previous films. Speaking of which, he is also a member of United Cinemas.

But Wu Ma does not belong to the United Cinemas, he sometimes helps New Oriental to film, but the frequency is not very high.

"I don't think Mr. Lin would do such a great job, right? I've known him for a while, and he thinks he's very reasonable."

Alan Tam is in the same situation as Wu Ma. He is neither from United Cinemas nor New Oriental, but he also cooperates with companies from United Cinemas, such as Golden Harvest and Dibao.

Lin Zixiang is in the same situation as them. He has also cooperated with Di Bao a lot, especially the films of Sammo Hung.

"Everyone is a little too worried. If it really doesn't work, Allen and I can talk to Mr. Lin. I believe that Mr. Lin will not really kill them all."

Lin Zixiang has a good relationship with New Art City. In the early years, when New Art City was established, Lin Zixiang had asked Lin Zixiang to film a few movies.

Although we have had less contact in recent years, everyone has a good relationship, and he and Lin Daoqiu are considered to be acquainted.

In Lin Zixiang's view, Lin Daoqiu is not the kind of very domineering person. If he is really that kind of person, United Cinemas would not have a chance to rise.

"If it's really possible, please both of you go see Mr. Lin as soon as possible, after all, you don't know what to do now."

Wu Ma is a kind person, but he is not familiar with Lin Daoqiu, and the two sides have not cooperated much. He feels that if he asks to see Lin Daoqiu, the other party may not necessarily meet him.

That's why he asked Alan Tam and Lin Zixiang to come out this time, and wanted to ask them for help to see how to solve this problem.

"Actually, I invited two people over today, why don't you listen to what they mean first."

Alan Tam suddenly said this, and everyone didn't know it before.

I don't know who he invited, and whether their relationship with Lin Daoqiu is good enough to know some inside information.

With these doubts, everyone waited while drinking tea.

After a while, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui came in from the door.

"Everyone, I'm sorry for the long wait, there is a traffic jam on the road."

Alan Tam, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui are old friends. They used to cooperate at the beginning, and they have been in touch all these years.

And we all know that Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui are the confidantes of Lin Daoqiu's confidantes. Anyone who is engaged in movies in Xiangjiang will know this.

If it was them, then the real situation would definitely be heard from their mouths.

"Ah Jun, A Rui, I invite you here today because I have something to ask you two to clarify."

When receiving Alan Tam's invitation, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui thought he was just inviting the two of them over for tea.

Unexpectedly, so many stars and directors gathered at the scene, which surprised them a bit.

You must know that almost all of these people have little or no intersection with New Oriental.

Most of them have more dealings with the United Cinemas. At this time, they suddenly gathered here and invited themselves over, probably because of what Lin Daoqiu said before.

"You're welcome, Aaron. We've known each other for so long. If you have anything to say, feel free to ask. As long as we know something, we will definitely tell you everything."

Zheng Danrui is a very good person, he is not as rich as Wen Jun.

But after Zheng Danrui finished speaking, Wen Jun didn't say anything, but drank tea silently beside him.

He can't just say anything to the other party, after all, this matter is likely to involve between New Oriental and United Cinemas, and it is definitely not something he can easily agree to.

Moreover, although their relationship with Alan Tam and others is not bad, it is impossible for them to speak well in front of Lin Daoqiu for their help. Their relationship is not that good yet.

"Actually, everyone gathered here today to know what exactly Mr. Lin said at the celebration banquet of "The Return of the Great Sage"? Recently, there have been a lot of gossip outside, and we don't know what to do."

Wu Ma took the lead in expressing their concerns. After all, this time he took the initiative to extend the invitation to everyone, hoping to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Hearing Wu Ma's question, Wen Jun just smiled, but he didn't speak.

It looks like he intends to hand over today's initiative to Zheng Danrui.

But Zheng Danrui is not the kind of person who can decide things, and he doesn't like to stand out. Usually, he usually stands behind Lin Daoqiu or Wen Jun in such matters.

So when everyone asked this question, Zheng Danrui didn't know what to say, so he could only turn his head and look at Wen Jun, hoping that the other party could help him answer this question.

"Everyone wants to know about the banning order. I can tell you here that it is true..."
