Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1788
"This is already the fifth request to terminate the contract with us today. The reason is the same as the previous ones. They are all sick and need to recuperate. Hmph..."

Throwing the contract in his hand on the table, He Guanchang snorted coldly.

I have to say that Wen Jun's efficiency is still very good. After seeing Lin Daoqiu, he immediately asked Wu Ma and others to come out, and honestly told them what Lin Daoqiu had said.

If Lin Daoqiu refused to leave even though Lin Daoqiu was willing to help them pay the liquidated damages, it would be tantamount to living and dying with United Cinemas.

Since this is the case, then Lin Daoqiu will naturally not show mercy to him.

But for most stars, the consequences of doing so are something they can't bear anyway, so they naturally won't be so stupid to seek death.

So the next day, they all found an excuse and asked the lawyer to send the termination fee to United Cinemas.

"You can't blame them. Lin Daoqiu has already said that if you don't leave, they will be blocked. This is understandable."

Zou Wenhuai was not too angry about this, because in his opinion, it has reached this point, and it is normal for Lin Daoqiu to do anything.

And it's perfectly normal to use extreme means at this point in time. If it was him, he might choose to do the same thing as Lin Daoqiu.

"I'm afraid more and more people will terminate their contracts with us in the future. What should we do now?"

After hearing the news, Pan Disheng also rushed to United Cinemas to discuss countermeasures with Zou Wenhuai.

It was said that they were here to discuss, but everyone couldn't think of any way to stop Lin Daoqiu's method.

"Let's not talk about the protagonists now, even those supporting roles are hard for us to find. Even if there are people who dare to cooperate with us, they are some unknown people."

For the United Cinemas, now they are really facing the stage of their life and death.

If it continues like this, the United Cinemas may release previous movies this year, but this is tantamount to driving away customers.

"Actually, there are other ways..."

Cen Jianxun suddenly spoke at this moment, and his words immediately attracted everyone present.

"We can find foreign stars to shoot. It's hard to say what the final effect will be, but at least it's much better than not being able to find people now. However, these people are not well-known at the beginning, and it is difficult to attract audiences."

Although Xiangjiang has been unable to invite big-name stars, they can still find new stars from other parts of Asia to film.

It's just that the consequence of doing this is that these people they found have no impression on Xiangjiang audience at all, so naturally there will be no bonus of star halo.

But the advantage of this is that they don't need to worry about Lin Daoqiu's banning order, because these people are not well-known in the first place, and if they are given a chance, they will naturally try their best to catch them.

Golden Harvest had such an example before. They invited foreign martial arts stars to film in Xiangjiang, and the effect was not bad.

And in terms of remuneration, they are also lower than Xiangjiang's stars, which can be said to be very cost-effective.

The only disadvantage is that it cannot attract audiences without popularity, and there are really no major disadvantages other than that.

"Since this is the case, please trouble Achang and Manager Cen to take charge of this matter. The top priority now is to find someone to finish filming those movies as soon as possible, otherwise our loss will be too great."

For the United Cinemas, there is no better way now. They can only find a way to finish the film in their hands as soon as possible. As for whether they will lose money after it is released, those are already things to talk about.

But if they don't shoot now, the money invested before will be in vain. Although the liquidated damages can make up for some losses, it is nothing compared to the money they want to earn.

Not to mention that if the movie can't be shown, the theater's expenditure will not stop, which will make things worse for them.

So now no matter what, we must finish filming these scenes as soon as possible.

But compared to these, for Pan Disheng, he heard a rumor recently, a rumor that made him feel very worried.

"It is said that at the celebration banquet of "The Return of the Great Sage", Lin Daoqiu invited San Mao and A Biao to return to New Oriental, and they did not refuse."

As soon as this remark came out, the already depressing atmosphere at the scene was added a layer of shadow.

For the United Cinemas, the stars they rely on most now are Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, and the most important martial arts team is the Hong family troupe.

If they lost Sammo Hung, it would undoubtedly be a fatal blow for them.

"Mr. Pan, I think you'd better talk to Sanmao, after all, he is too important to the United Cinemas, if Sanmao and the others really leave, I am worried that our road ahead will be even more difficult .”

What He Guanchang said was already very restrained. In fact, his real thought is that if Sammo Hung leaves Di Bao, the day when the United Cinemas will close may not be far away.

"Mr. He, if you were Sanmao, how would you choose?"

Pan Disheng suddenly turned to look at He Guanchang and asked him a question.

He Guanchang was at a loss for words when asked suddenly by Pan Disheng, because if he answered according to his true thoughts, it would obviously run counter to what he just said.

"I am me, and Sanmao is Sanmao. There is no comparison between me and him, but if Mr. Pan insists on asking, then I can tell you that I will definitely stay in United Cinemas."

He Guanchang is not Sanmao. For him, Golden Harvest is his most precious thing. Even if Golden Harvest really collapses, he will stand on the last post and will never switch to New Oriental.

After listening to He Guanchang's words, Pan Disheng didn't say anything, he just nodded.

However, judging from He Guanchang's reaction, He Guanchang's answer did not seem to make him happy or convinced.

…………

"Eldest brother, now is the most critical moment. I won't force you before, but this is also the time to make a decision."

Yuen Biao has always been looking forward to Hong Jinbao's leadership, but at this special moment, he feels that Hong Jinbao must not continue to hesitate.

Because there are not only the two of them in the Hong family class, but also a large number of martial arts masters. If they are really blocked by Lin Daoqiu at that time, their future days will be very miserable.

And now Lin Daoqiu has started to attack the United Cinemas, and a large number of stars have terminated their contracts with the United Cinemas. This has reached the most critical moment for the Hong family class, and they can't wait for a moment.
