Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1793 New Overlord of Xiangjiang

Hearing that Lin Daoqiu agreed directly, Zou Wenhuai felt as if the big stone in his heart fell to the ground suddenly.

However, it is foreseeable that after Lin Daoqiu bought Golden Harvest, the name Golden Harvest Film Company may also enter history.

But for Zou Wenhuai, this is actually a good thing, after all, he has no intention of selling the name of Golden Harvest Film Company to others.

Even if he wanted to, he would keep the brand of Golden Harvest Film Company.

In case of a turnaround one day, Jiahe might be able to make a comeback, but he was afraid that he would not be able to wait for that day.

"Golden Harvest Film Company includes its Golden Harvest Cinemas, as well as the right to use the Fushan Road studio, etc. The price is about [-] million."

The price offered by Jiahe is still very reasonable, and there is not much premium.

It was nothing to Lin Daoqiu to spend [-] million dollars to buy Golden Harvest. About [-] million U.S. dollars was just the money to make a blockbuster movie.

Being able to take over this very famous film company in Xiangjiang is definitely an opportunity not to be missed for Lin Daoqiu.

After all, if he doesn't buy it, if it falls on someone else's head, I'm afraid there will be another fight at that time. This is a situation that Lin Daoqiu doesn't want and absolutely doesn't want to see.

So when Zou Wenhuai proposed to sell Jiahe to him, Lin Daoqiu immediately agreed, just because he was worried about nights and dreams.

Although the specific transaction link is still to come, for Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, when Lin Daoqiu agreed, Golden Harvest had already been sold to Lin Daoqiu.

Perhaps it was because the matter had come to an end, and the mood of the two of them was obviously much better than before.

"So far, Mr. Lin has bought both Dibao and Golden Harvest. I believe that no one in Xiangjiang will be able to challenge Mr. Lin's position in the film industry."

Lin Daoqiu has achieved what even Run Run Shaw could not do at the beginning, which has to be amazing, and it must be known that he is only 28 years old this year.

When Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were 28 years old, they didn't even join Shaw Brothers, they were still working as reporters.

But Lin Daoqiu has become Xiangjiang's film overlord at this age, which has to make people feel that Lin Daoqiu is really a genius that has never appeared (never appeared) since the birth of the film.

"The two of you are really optimistic. Isn't Lixin Cinemas still here?"

Lin Daoqiu smiled, although his words made one feel that he seemed to regard Lixin Cinema as an opponent.

But if you think about it for a while, you will know that Lixin Cinemas does not have the ability to produce movies, and there are no well-known stars or screenwriters to vote for them.

Without Dibao and Golden Harvest, Lai Sun Cinemas can only buy films or cooperate with local small and medium-sized film companies and independent producers.

But with Lin Daoqiu, the great Buddha, and a few people who dared to cooperate with Lixin Cinemas, the only thing they could do was to build a theater dedicated to showing western movies just like Anle Cinemas.

However, there are as many as 38 theaters in Lai Sun Cinemas, and it is impossible to make any money if they only show western films.

"Mr. Lin, Lixin Cinemas has no production capacity, and no one dares to sell movies to them. No matter how you look at Mr. Lin's cinemas, the final result should fall into your hands."

He Guanchang felt that no matter what Lin Jianyue did, it was impossible for him to fight against Qian, and in the end he would definitely sell Lixin Cinemas to Lin Daoqiu.

But Lin Daoqiu shook his head directly.

"I told you when Lai Sun Cinemas was established that the Xiangjiang market doesn't need so many theaters..."

"From the current point of view, after New Oriental bought the theater chains of Dibao and Golden Harvest, the number of theaters has reached 76, which is more than enough."

From Lin Daoqiu's words, it can be heard that he does not intend to buy Lixin Cinemas.

But as he said, the number of theaters has reached its peak, or because of his personal grievances with Liu Luanxiong, I am afraid that only Lin Daoqiu himself knows.

But what is certain is that Lai Sun Cinemas will definitely not join the ranks of New Oriental Cinemas. It depends on how Lin Jianyue and Liu Luanxiong plan to get out of this predicament.

"Okay, if that's the case, then we won't bother Mr. Lin. I hope to have a cup of tea with Mr. Lin in the future."

Zou Wenhuai felt that since the sale of the theater had been settled, he seemed to have nothing to talk to Lin Daoqiu.

After all, he still has to go back to Golden Harvest to deal with the follow-up issues of selling the company. After all, such a big company is going to be sold suddenly, and there are still many things that need to be arranged properly.

"Both of you, please go slowly."

Just when Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were about to leave Lin Daoqiu's office, Lin Daoqiu suddenly stopped them.

Neither Zou Wenhuai nor He Guanchang knew what Lin Daoqiu meant by this move, but they returned to their chairs and sat down.

"I believe both of you know that New Oriental is about to launch an Asian cinema strategy."

Regarding this point, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang have already heard about it from others, and when both Jiahe and Dibao fall into the hands of Lin Daoqiu, the strategy of this Asian theater chain can be realized a few years earlier.

"Mr. Lin's strategy is indeed very meaningful. If it can be realized by then, it will really benefit the filmmakers of Xiangjiang."

After all, they all made their fortunes by making movies in the past, and selling ports has always been the biggest source of income for Xiangjiang Films.

However, it is a very difficult thing for ordinary film companies to get the share of the film from Jiahe and Shaw Brothers.

But when Lin Daoqiu's Asian theater chain strategy is successful, they don't need to contact anyone who sells ports or not in the future. Screening in New Oriental theaters is equivalent to being released in major film markets in Asia. Where can such a good thing be found? .

"Both of you started out as filmmakers, don't you have any ideas?"

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang didn't understand the meaning of Lin Daoqiu's words. They seemed to understand, but they didn't seem to understand.

"When the two founded Golden Harvest, they adopted a completely different approach from Shaw Brothers to cooperate with filmmakers. I think this model is good, and there is no need for the two of you to put Golden Harvest away..."

"Mr. Lin means that you are willing to cooperate with Golden Harvest, just like our previous cooperation model?"

He Guanchang would have misunderstood what Lin Daoqiu meant. He thought that Lin Daoqiu was going to let Jiahe go and let them cooperate with New Oriental as before.

But Lin Daoqiu smiled and shook his head.

"Golden Harvest can keep the production company, but the theater chain and Fushan Road studio have to be sold to me."

Lin Daoqiu's approach to Golden Harvest was very simple, just like the way they cooperated with Bruce Lee and the Xu Brothers back then, except that Golden Harvest was a little bigger.
