Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1792 Golden Harvest Film Company
After leaving United Cinemas, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang sat in the car without saying a word.

Now Golden Harvest has lost all its partners, and the only thing they are lucky about is that they still have a theater chain in their hands. At least from the current point of view, it will not be completely finished.

But for Golden Harvest, their goal has always been to become one of the most successful film companies in Xiangjiang and even in the world.

Now let them continue to struggle like this, they obviously don't want to and don't want to fall to this point.

It's just that they can't decide their own fate at this time. If Lin Daoqiu insists on driving them out, Jiahe may not last long before closing down.

Of course, they can also think of ways to join forces with other film companies, such as Anle Cinemas, which only releases western films, and the silver capital.

However, the scale of Anle Cinemas is too small, and cooperation with them is of no use to Golden Harvest.

As for Yindu Cinemas, the situation there is more complicated, and Golden Harvest is unlikely to cooperate with them.

The remaining small and medium film companies and small theater chains are not in Golden Harvest's consideration at all.

Based on the current situation, Golden Harvest seems to have really come to an end, and it seems impossible to continue.

"What do you think Lin Daoqiu plans to do with Jiahe after buying Di Bao?"

Regarding the question raised by Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang didn't even need to think about it, he could give the answer directly.

"United Cinemas has been disbanded, Golden Harvest can be said to be isolated and helpless now, Lin Daoqiu doesn't need to do anything at all, he just needs to watch us decline."

Unless Bruce Lee can be resurrected now, then Golden Harvest can still have a glimmer of life, but this kind of thing only happens in dreams.

The reality is cruel after all, so cruel that they all feel that this time there is no way out.

Either sell Jiahe to Lin Daoqiu as soon as possible, and then they can retire early and go back to enjoy the happiness.

Or continue to fight Lin Daoqiu, but it may be difficult to wait until the day of victory.

It can even be said that they have been cut off from the sales channel, and there will not be any big-name stars to cooperate with them. In the future, it may be difficult for the films produced by Golden Harvest to attract audiences.

Under such circumstances, it is foreseeable that the investment in filming will decrease in the future, let alone maintaining such a large theater chain, it will be difficult at all.

"Turn around and go to New Oriental..."

At this moment, Zou Wenhuai suddenly asked the driver to drive the car to New Oriental.

Regarding Zou Wenhuai's move, He Guanchang suddenly sighed, but he didn't say anything.

Soon, when Lin Daoqiu learned that Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang had come to visit, he was not surprised.

However, out of respect for the two, he personally came to the door to greet them.

"Mr. Lin, I didn't disturb your work, did I?"

Although Jiahe is already facing a desperate situation, Zou Wenhuai still looks happy at this time, with a smile on his face. It has to be said that he does have a big heart.

"Mr. Zou is too polite, the two of you are welcome."

Lin Daoqiu made a gesture of invitation, and then invited Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang into his office.

Fang Jinsheng brewed three cups of coffee and came in, put the coffee in front of the three of them and stepped aside.

"Recalling that Mr. Lin's first film "Master Qian" was already nine years ago, it seemed like a blink of an eye. I have to say that time really flies."

Zou Wenhuai suddenly recalled the past with emotion, perhaps because of his age, most people of this age began to like to look back on the past.

"At the beginning, I was thankful to Golden Harvest for allowing "Master Qian" to be screened in two tracks. In the end, I was fortunate enough to be able to break the historical box office record of Xiangjiang movies."

The box office performance of 800 million can only be said to be mediocre in today's terms.

But at that time in 1978, most people couldn't even think about it.

You must know that the original box office champion in 78, "The Deed of Sale", only had a box office of nearly 800 million. This shows how successful "Master Qian" was back then.

"It should be our thanks to Mr. Lin. The movie "Master Qian" made us a lot of money and helped Xiangjiang Films find a future director. It can be said to be a win-win situation."

Zou Wenhuai doesn't seem to have any hatred for Lin Daoqiu, even though the other party has pushed Jiahe to the point of desperation, but it seems that he came to Lin Daoqiu this time just to reminisce about the old days.

Lin Daoqiu was a little embarrassed to be praised by Zou Wenhuai.

"Mr. Zou is too polite. Back then, I was just a young boy who didn't know anything, so I got such a result by accident. I can only say that I was lucky."

Lin Daoqiu is very modest, he did not put all the success of "Master Qian" on his own head.

But even if he didn't do this, no one would think that Lin Daoqiu's success was only due to his good luck.

"Back then, Guan Chang and I came out of Shaw Brothers to establish Golden Harvest, hoping that one day Golden Harvest would get rid of Shaw Brothers' bad habits and become a successful film company. Now we can see that we have achieved it."

It's not that Zou Wenhuai is bragging. The success of Golden Harvest in the 70s cannot be replicated by others. Their cooperation with Bruce Lee alone is enough to make Golden Harvest Film Company famous forever.

"After all these years, Guanchang and I are already a little tired. I believe Mr. Lin is also very clear that Golden Harvest has nowhere to go now, either continue to linger on, or sell the company to Mr. Lin."

The more Zou Wenhuai spoke, the lower his tone became. It seemed that he was still not fully prepared to meet Lin Daoqiu.

However, he himself knew very well that the situation Jiahe faced could not be changed, so even if he felt uncomfortable, he had to find a way out for Jiahe.

"I plan to sell Golden Harvest Company to Mr. Lin. I don't know what Mr. Lin will agree with."

After Zou Wenhuai pondered for a moment, he finally said this sentence with a trace of reluctance.

"Golden Harvest Film Company is a very important memory for the people of Xiangjiang. Unfortunately, many things have happened in the past, which led to the current predicament. It has to be said that it is really regrettable..."

"Since Mr. Zou has made such a decision, I personally respect it and agree with Mr. Zou's proposal. I am willing to take over Golden Harvest."

At this time, Lin Daoqiu didn't need to hide it. For him, buying Jiahe would definitely do more good than harm, and Lin Daoqiu didn't need to think about it at all.

After all, after this established film company was acquired by himself, from now on, there will be no film company in Xiangjiang that can threaten New Oriental.
