Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2147 Snatch meat from Dongbao's mouth

As for the candidate to play Li Zhengnan, after much deliberation, Lin Daoqiu decided to choose Zeng Jiang. After all, with his aura and acting skills, it is naturally no problem to play the role of Li Zhengnan.

Moreover, it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to vilify Li Zhengnan into an idiot in the play, so that others will not look at this character at all.

So he wants to make this Mr. Li into a cunning, evil and cruel object.

Not only this one, Lin Daoqiu also plans to add this Mr. Li into the sequel, so that he can make a splash.

Lin Daoqiu from Zengjiang had already been informed that he would not be able to fly to Nihong to join him until the day after tomorrow.

During this time, Lin Daoqiu planned to arrange the scene well, and Zeng Jiang's main plot was related to Sophie Maya.

After all, Sophie Marceau is too young. If she is the last big boss, although it is indeed possible to be unexpected, it is very likely that it will not be convincing.

Isabella Adjani plays a Bond girl, and naturally she will not have too many scenes, so after spending a day with Lin Daoqiu, she devoted herself to the intense filming.

And Lin Daoqiu went to Dongbao to meet Matsuoka Isao.

In addition to a courtesy call, Lin Daoqiu also wanted to chat with the other party about the Asian theater chain.

Dongbao is responsible for New Oriental's agency in Neon, and Lin Daoqiu has bought MGM before, so they are now also responsible for the sales and release of MGM movies in Japan.

The great success of "1992" made Dongbao lose money. Isao Matsuoka, who originally invested [-] million U.S. dollars, chose to withdraw the funds because he was worried that the film would hit the market.

Unexpectedly, after the release of "1992", the global box office surpassed "Godzilla" and became the number one movie in the world's film history.

Although Isao Matsuoka, who was too regretful, got back [-] million US dollars, he was criticized by Dongbao's internal directors and senior management because of his wrong choice.

Even though "1992" reached the top of Neon once again and broke the box office record of Neon's historical live-action film, Dongbaoke did not get much income.

In fact, after Lin Daoqiu arrived at Nihong, it didn't take long for Matsuoka Isao to know the news, but the other party didn't inform him this time, so Matsuoka Isao didn't look for it and immediately went to look for it.

Knowing that Lin Daoqiu came to Neon this time to shoot "007: M", Isao Matsuoka still thought about calling Lin Daoqiu to invite him out for dinner in the past few days, so as to catch up on the old days.

What he didn't expect was that before he called Lin Daoqiu, the other party had come to him directly.

Isao Matsuoka was very happy to learn that Lin Daoqiu was visiting. He went directly to the elevator and waited for Lin Daoqiu's arrival.

When the elevator door opened, Lin Daoqiu saw Isao Matsuoka standing outside with a large number of Dongbao executives waiting for his arrival. Lin Daoqiu didn't like such a big battle when others greeted him.

After shaking hands with those high-level officials under the introduction of Isao Matsuoka, Lin Daoqiu entered his office with Isao Matsuoka.

"Mr. Lin, why don't you call me first when you arrive at Nihong, so I can send someone to pick you up."

For a long time, when Lin Daoqiu came to Neon, he would call Matsuoka in advance, but this time he did not do so, which made Matsuoka very nervous.

Could it be that Lin Daoqiu had developed a bad opinion of himself, because Neon people were very concerned about these details, and any changes would make them panic.

"There is no need to be so troublesome. This time I came to Neon to shoot 007. Dongbao has provided a lot of assistance for this film before, so I am embarrassed to bother President Matsuoka."

Although Lin Daoqiu said so, but he came to Nihong only on a temporary basis, so he didn't inform the other party.

Isao Matsuoka nodded as he listened, but some bad thoughts had begun to form in his heart. He was even worried that Lin Daoqiu's views on Dongbao and himself had changed, and there might even be a crack in the relationship between the two.

Once he falls out with Lin Daoqiu, or the other party has other ideas, Dongbao's exclusive agency rights may change.

"Mr. Lin and I have known each other for almost ten years. We are old friends. There is no trouble. If Mr. Lin comes to Nihong in the future, he must call me, otherwise I, the local landlord, really Will be sorry."

Lin Daoqiu didn't think too much, just nodded and agreed.

After seeing Lin Daoqiu agreeing, Isao Matsuoka was relieved.

"Actually, I came to President Matsuoka today because I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Please tell me, Mr. Lin."

As soon as Matsuoka Kou heard that Lin Daoqiu came to him specifically to talk to him about something, he quickly sat up straight.

He even began to wonder if Lin Daoqiu planned to make a third special effects blockbuster, and if so, Dongbao would definitely participate this time no matter what, even if he paid all the funds.

"I believe President Matsuoka should have heard that I am building New Oriental Pictures, and the Asian theater strategy is the top priority of my company."

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Isao Matsuoka showed no expression on his face. Although he kept nodding there, he didn't agree with Lin Daoqiu's plan at all.

Because once he agrees to join forces with Lin Daoqiu, it means that Dongbao's theater business in Neon will be intervened by the other party. This is not the result that Isao Matsuoka hopes to see.

"I hope that Dongbao can cooperate with me so that I can promote my Asian theater chain plan."

Isao Matsuoka nodded when he heard it, and then a very embarrassed expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"Originally, I should agree to you when Mr. Lin made such a request, but Dongbao's affairs cannot be decided by one person, especially for such a big event. I have to discuss it with Dongbao's senior management before I can give you an answer." Reply."

Although Isao Matsuoka said so, he didn't plan to bring this matter to a high-level meeting for discussion, because he knew it was absolutely impossible, and everyone would definitely not agree to it.

It is impossible for someone to be willing to give up their territory to others, no matter who the other party is, this is absolutely impossible.

It's just that Isao Matsuoka didn't dare to reject Lin Daoqiu directly, because doing so would only ruin the relationship between the two parties, so he chose the safest way, which was to drag it on.

As long as it drags on for a few years, I believe Lin Daoqiu will understand what he means by then.

What Brian DePalma didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu didn't intend to let him participate in the filming of this scene at all. After all, this was Lin Daoqiu's private work and he didn't like others to participate.
