Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2074

"If my guess is correct, Song Yaolian will definitely try every means to make it impossible for you to sell the theater, and even try to delay your sale."

After receiving a call from Wu Chou, the other party told Lin Daoqiu about the meeting between him and Song Yaolian from beginning to end.

Song Yaolian actually took the initiative to ask Wu Chou to suspend the sale of the theater chain. It seems that the other party's actions are really not bad at all.

But Lin Daoqiu is really not afraid of them making trouble when it comes to selling theaters.

If Song Yaolian and the others dare to make trouble for themselves, Lin Daoqiu doesn't mind letting them enjoy the power of international public opinion.

"Mr. Lin, yesterday Yang Dengkui came to me and said he wanted to buy a cinema chain, but he only paid NT$20 billion. I think he is very interested in buying the New Oriental cinema chain."

After hearing what Wu Chou said, Lin Daoqiu just smiled.

"Yang Dengkui is so powerful that he is going to buy the entire New Oriental cinema chain? Why don't I know?"

"Mr. Lin, I think the possibility of selling all of New Oriental Cinemas at once is really low. After all, there are very few people who can afford NT$30 billion."

After talking with Yang Dengkui, Wu Chou felt that the possibility of selling all of New Oriental Cinemas at once was extremely slim.

There are quite a few people who want to buy New Oriental Cinemas, but none of them can afford such a large sum of money.

And the person who can make such a large sum of money in Baodao is not in the film industry, so it is really difficult for him to sell New Oriental Cinemas in a short time.

"Then what do you think should be done?"

Lin Daoqiu is not the kind of authoritarian person. If other people have good suggestions, he is still willing to listen to them.

"I think New Oriental Cinemas should be split up and sold, and one or two or several companies should be sold separately, so that the progress of the sale should be faster."

When Lin Daoqiu asked Wu Chou to buy these theaters to form the New Oriental Cinemas, they bought them all by means of mopping up.

It can be said that Wu Chou tried everything possible to buy those theaters as quickly as possible.

But now, if you want to sell all the theaters under New Oriental Cinemas at once, it will be a bit difficult.

This place is not at all different from Xiangjiang. Although there are many people in the film business, most of them are small and medium-sized capitals. It can be said that there are almost no film tycoons like Lin Daoqiu, Shao Runfu or Zou Wenhuai.

However, this has a lot to do with the film ecology of Taiwan. Otherwise, when Xiangjiang films were world-renowned in the previous life, Taiwan films had no influence. This is not unreasonable.

"If you think it's okay, then do it according to your idea, but what I hope is to get this matter resolved as soon as possible."

Lin Daoqiu's meaning was very clear to Wu Chou, so he immediately agreed.

…………

Although the film business of Baodao had to be interrupted, the release of "Swordsman" in Xiangjiang is still in progress.

Tsui Hark felt that he really went to heaven first and then fell down in a blink of an eye.

He never expected that he would encounter such a bad thing, but now it's useless for him to sigh, the matter has reached this point and it can't be changed.

Fortunately, even if they lose the market of Treasure Island, it won't be a big problem for them.

"Swordsman" can still be sold in Taiwan, but it can't be released at the same time as the previous arrangement, so he can't get the first fragrance.

Called by Lin Daoqiu to New Oriental, Tsui Hark thought at first that he was going to talk about "Swordsman".

But unexpectedly, Tsui Hark got a surprise from Lin Daoqiu this time.

""Swordsman" will be released in a week, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" is also scheduled for the summer. It can be said that you don't have any other movies in your hands except "The True Colors of Heroes."

What Lin Daoqiu said is absolutely correct, Tsui Hark indeed only has "The True Colors of a Hero" left to shoot.

If Lin Daoqiu has no other arrangements, then he plans to open a movie and release it this year.

""Ghost Blowing the Lantern" because Uncle Jiu is going to make a TV series, so he can't be the director of this drama, so I decided to let you be in charge of the next filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"."

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Tsui Hark's eyes immediately stared straight. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to direct the big production "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Originally, Tsui Hark thought that he would have the opportunity to get a big production from Lin Daoqiu next year at the earliest, but he didn't expect that this time was a year earlier than he expected.

In fact, Tsui Hark was originally focusing on "The Wind and Cloud" to be filmed next year. That film is only in the preparation stage so far, and the director has not yet been determined.

So Tsui Hark's previous idea was to make a few blockbuster movies, and then apply to Lin Daoqiu for him to shoot "The Wind and Cloud", a blockbuster comic adaptation with special effects.

But now he actually got the director of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which made Tsui Hark extremely happy.

"Uncle Nine's strength lies in the action design, while your strength lies in the mastery of special effects techniques. With Hong's class assisting you, I believe you will be able to master the play "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" very soon."

Tsui Hark nodded again and again. Originally, when "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern" came out, Tsui Hark thought about fighting for the director of this movie.

But it is a pity that in the end Lin Daoqiu decided to let Lin Zhengying take the film, so he was powerless at the time.

But now God put this opportunity on his head again, Tsui Hark suddenly felt full of energy.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will definitely seize this opportunity. I have read the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" many times, and I am very familiar with the plot characters in it. Good shot."

Tsui Hark is very confident in himself, and his confidence comes from the fact that he is more familiar with the story than others.

And he is also a person who is willing to spend energy to study the script. It would be great if he could have less unconstrained creativity and grasp the plot more solidly.

"If this is the case, it is of course the best, but the shooting method of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and what I want to show are somewhat different from the previous movies, so I am afraid it will take a little time to get familiar with it."

It's not that Lin Daoqiu doesn't believe in Tsui Hark's ability, but this kind of tomb-robbing-themed film and television drama is very rare in Xiangjiang, and even if there is one, it's just an action drama with a gimmick.

The real "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is not just an action scene, special effects, plot, and some bizarre stories, all of which are carefully written and designed.

After listening to Lin Daoqiu's words, Tsui Hark realized that the filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" might not be as simple as he thought.
