Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1787
Some of the people present thought that Lin Daoqiu's ban at the celebration banquet of "The Return of the Great Sage" was just a joke.

After all, this is not a trivial matter. Once Lin Daoqiu really wants to do this, a large number of people will be implicated.

However, when Wen Jun personally confirmed to everyone that the banning order was real, those who were lucky at first became nervous immediately.

"Brother Qiu never said that. When you misinterpret his meaning like this, he will definitely get angry when he finds out."

Zheng Danrui quickly put his head next to Wen Jun's ear and whispered.

Lin Daoqiu didn't say who he wanted to ban at the celebration banquet, he just wanted to invite Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao back to New Oriental.

But when it came to Wen Jun's side, it turned out that Lin Daoqiu wanted to ban those cast and crew who cooperated with the United Cinemas, which was deliberately spreading rumors.

If Lin Daoqiu knew what Wen Jun said, then Zheng Danrui felt that they would definitely be scolded.

"Don't worry, I have a measure, just do what I say, don't talk so much nonsense."

Wen Jun didn't care about this, the reason why he said this was actually to frighten these people and make them leave the United Cinemas and switch to New Oriental.

But on the other hand, from Wen Jun's point of view, although Lin Daoqiu didn't say publicly that he would block anyone, if these people continue to stay in the United Cinemas, it is unknown whether Lin Daoqiu will change his mind by then.

"Everyone should be very clear that the United Cinemas is here for New Oriental, and with the previous "Xiangjiang Film Management Act", if Brother Qiu doesn't fight back this time, he will be underestimated."

What Wen Jun said is indeed a bit reasonable. From the original "Xiangjiang Film Management Act" to the previously established joint theater chain, these are all aimed at Lin Daoqiu and New Oriental.

If Lin Daoqiu didn't do anything at this time and let them continue like this, they would indeed be underestimated.

And it just so happened that these people were the lucky ones. They all felt that with the strength of the United Cinemas, they would not be defeated even if they could not beat New Oriental, so they would continue to cooperate with the United Cinemas.

But what they didn't expect was that although such a powerful alliance of the United Cinemas did not fall instantly, it was already on the verge of collapse when Lin Daoqiu almost cut off the channel for selling ports.

At this time, they became nervous and worried about their future, but some people still had illusions before Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui came.

He thought that even if Lin Daoqiu wanted to kill the United Cinemas, he would not be angry with them.

What Wen Jun said just now completely shattered their illusions.

"So Brother Qiu no longer intends to be soft-hearted. This time we are going to use thunder."

What is Wen Jun's sentence at the end of the thunderous means? I believe that these people around him can understand it well if he doesn't explain it.

Wu Ma noticed that the atmosphere at the scene had become very gloomy, and it seemed that everyone was shocked by what Wen Jun said just now.

He turned his head to look at Alan Tam and Lin Zixiang, hoping that the two of them could say something and find a proper solution as soon as possible.

"Ajun, in fact, we can all understand Mr. Lin's thoughts, but most of us now have film contracts with United Cinemas, and we have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages to leave at this time..."

Alan Tam stated the reason why they were temporarily unable to cut off from United Cinemas, that is, they were unwilling to pay the liquidated damages.

And there is one thing he didn't say, which is that they have already received the salary and asked them to return it like this. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to agree.

"That's right, can Ah Jun talk to Mr. Lin, let's finish shooting the film first, so I believe everyone knows what to do next."

Wu Ma, as today's convener, does everything out of publicity and hopes to help everyone. Of course, the part about him is also incidental.

Wen Jun never thought of talking about these things before he came, and what he said just now was just to scare them.

Judging from the current reactions of Wu Ma and others, what he said just now to scare them is very effective. If they are allowed to leave the United Cinemas after filming the film in hand, it is not unacceptable to him.

"Well... this question is very difficult, and I don't know if I can convince Brother Qiu..."

Wen Jun pretended to be embarrassed, but he was already secretly happy in his heart.

He felt that when he went to tell Lin Daoqiu that he had done such a big thing, Lin Daoqiu would definitely praise him.

"Brother Jun, help me, we are old acquaintances, please hold your hand high again."

"In the future, if there is anything that needs my brother's help, just ask, and I will do my best."

The people next to him also quickly echoed, saying that it was a joy to flatter Wen Jun.

"Well, I've known you for a long time. If this is the case, I'll try to help you intercede with Brother Qiu, but I don't guarantee that it will be successful."

Wen Jun began to put on airs, but his words made everyone present very happy.

They all felt that given the relationship between Wen Jun and Lin Daoqiu, as long as Wen Jun was willing to help them speak well in front of Lin Daoqiu, it would definitely be easy for them.

…………

"Brother Qiu, they were all scared stupid by me, and they all agreed to cut the film with United Cinemas as soon as the filming in hand is finished."

Wen Jun brought Zheng Danrui to Lin Daoqiu's office early the next day to claim credit.

Seeing him vividly repeating what he said in the tea restaurant yesterday in front of Lin Daoqiu, it made Lin Daoqiu laugh again and again.

"Are you done?"

After Wen Jun finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu suddenly put away his smile.

When Wen Jun first saw Lin Daoqiu smiling, he thought he had done the right thing this time, but based on his understanding of Lin Daoqiu, when the other party put away his smile, it was his time to suffer.

"Are you stupid? You clearly know that I'm going to do something to the United Cinemas. At this time, you let them continue to complete the previous film contract. This is tantamount to letting the United Cinemas continue to survive. Do you still think you are doing the right thing?"

Lin Daoqiu frowned while talking, he didn't expect Wen Jun to agree to them on his own initiative, he was so angry.

He is now trying his best to get the United Cinemas as soon as possible. If those people can leave the United Cinemas as soon as possible, it will be tantamount to completing his plan ahead of schedule.

But this idiot Wen Jun actually listened to those people's words and ran to help the United Cinemas survive, how could he not feel angry.

"Yes... I'm sorry Brother Qiu, I was wrong, I shouldn't have promised them, I..."

Even if Wen Jun is an idiot, he has already figured out that these things he did are not helpful to Lin Daoqiu at all, but a disservice.

"Brother Qiu, don't worry, Brother Jun didn't fully agree to them. He said that success may not be guaranteed."

Zheng Danrui hurriedly helped Wen Jun speak, but after he finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu still gave him a hard look.

"You go back and tell them that I will help them pay for the termination of the contract, but if they choose to stay in United Cinemas, they will bear the consequences."
