Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2150 Blockbuster
Shigeru Okada joined Toyoko Films, the predecessor of Toei, very early.

Since then, he has worked hard for decades and has been the president of Toei.

In the eyes of Neon filmmakers, Okada Shigeru is a very elder-like president and elder, and many filmmakers have been taken care of by him.

But the problems of Toei and Shochiku are the same, the size is not much worse than Dongbao's strength.

Therefore, these two film companies will not have any big hand in film investment, and basically focus on some low-cost or low-cost productions.

Even if they also want to make blockbuster films and make a lot of money, it is a pity that these two companies have been unable to do this.

So they could only watch Dongbao keep making a lot of money, while they could only drink soup on the sidelines.

The most popular film in Neon in recent years is not made by local filmmakers, but by Lin Daoqiu.

The two films "Godzilla" and "1992" are enough to record the history of neon movies, and they will occupy a very important position.

Although at the beginning many people were very disapproving of Lin Daoqiu's achievement, but they basically looked at this matter with a prejudiced attitude.

At this time, if anyone in the Neon movie circle said that he looked down on Lin Daoqiu, he would definitely be regarded as an idiot, or a guy who wanted to say something idiotic to attract attention.

Okada Mao learned that Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked Maekawa Qingze to talk about things, which made him very concerned.

Although he still doesn't know what Lin Daoqiu and Maekawa Kiyosori talked about, once Lin Daoqiu and Shochiku Yinghua cooperate, the pressure that Toei will face next will be very huge.

Toho couldn't beat Toho in the first place, but now if Shochiku Yinghua gets the help of Lin Daoqiu, Toei's future situation will be very passive.

But Okada Shigeru couldn't go to Lin Daoqiu rashly, because he didn't know Lin Daoqiu's attitude towards Dongying at all.

Two days later, Okada Shigeru suddenly received a call from Lin Daoqiu inviting him to meet.

Like Maekawa Kiyoshi, Okada Shigeru was very excited, because he knew that this time Lin Daoqiu must have passed an olive branch to Dongying.

The place where the two met was the Liushui residence where Lin Daoqiu made an appointment to meet Maekawa Kiyonori.

Shigeru Okada was in his early sixties at this time, with gray hair but looked very energetic.

He is best known for his period dramas (historical dramas) and Jidao dramas (on the road), and enjoys a high prestige in the neon film circle.

"Hi Mr. Lin, I'm Shigeru Okada, nice to meet you."

Shigeru Okada behaved neither humble nor overbearing. After all, he held his own identity, and it was impossible to show any respect in front of young people like Lin Daoqiu.

"Hello Mr. Okada, I'm Lin Daoqiu, please sit down."

After inviting the other party to sit down, Lin Daoqiu didn't chat with him, but directly told Shigeru Okada exactly what he and Kiyonori Maekawa had said.

Lin Daoqiu wanted to cooperate with Dongying, and he had already approached Shochiku Films before. It seemed that he planned to unite the two film companies to compete with Dongbao for the neon market.

If Lin Daoqiu only cooperates with Toei, Okada Shigeru will be very happy, but this kind of thing is impossible after thinking about it. After all, their strength is too weak, and it is impossible to resist Dongbao.

Therefore, only by combining Toei and Shochiku, coupled with Lin Daoqiu's strength, will there be a chance to make a difference in the Neon film market.

"I know what Mr. Lin means, but I need to think about this matter."

Okada Shigeru is not as courageous as Maekawa Kiyonori. What he said means that as long as he agrees, Toei will definitely act according to what he said.

Lin Daoqiu nodded. He could understand this, so he didn't force Shigeru Okada to give an answer right away.

After having dinner with the other party, Lin Daoqiu returned to the hotel, where Junko was waiting for him.

"It seems that you and Mr. Okada should have a good talk."

Junko already knew about Lin Daoqiu's decision, and she was on Lin Daoqiu's side from the beginning to the end, so it was naturally impossible to leak Lin Daoqiu's affairs to a third person.

Lin Daoqiu nodded. The meeting between him and Shigeru Okada went smoothly. At least the other party didn't directly refuse, which is good news for him.

If Toei doesn't agree and can't handle Shochiku by then, Lin Daoqiu's theater chain in the Neon Market may have to reconsider.

"I don't understand these things, and there is so little I can do for you, and I'm sorry for that."

Junko can't help Lin Daoqiu in business matters. All she can do is serve him well, but she feels that what she has done is far from enough.

"It's okay. Business matters have nothing to do with you. Don't think too much. I'm very satisfied now."

Lin Daoqiu shook his head, and then hugged the other party into his arms.

Junko rested her head on Lin Daoqiu's shoulder. She was very satisfied with her current life, full and happy.

If she could see Lin Daoqiu often, then she would have no other wishes.

"It's getting late, it's time to rest."

At this moment, Junko looked at Lin Daoqiu shyly, and then said something to the other party timidly.

Even though the two have been together for so many years, Lin Daoqiu can feel that she hasn't changed much every time he is with Junko, just like when he first saw her.

Picking up the other party and walking towards the room, this evening is destined to usher in another very intense extreme sports.

When Lin Daoqiu woke up early the next morning, the person next to him had disappeared.

Junko has work in the morning, so she gets up early.

During the time at Neon, Lin Daoqiu basically had no work. Zeng Jiang had already arrived at Neon, but the filming studio was still under construction, and it would take at least two days to start shooting.

While Qian Chuanqing and Okada Shigeru are still hesitating whether to agree to cooperate with them, Lin Daoqiu can say that there is really nothing to do now.

Lin Daoqiu suddenly remembered the past when he was sitting on the bed.

His first special effects blockbuster was "Godzilla". At that time, he relied on this film to establish himself as a film master in Hollywood.

Now that I am in Neon, Lin Daoqiu wants to shoot something different this time. Basically, this movie is also a blockbuster with special effects, but after making two disaster-related movies, Lin Daoqiu wants to change his taste.

Turning on the TV, the Dahe drama produced by NHK TV station was playing in it. Looking at the plot on the TV, Lin Daoqiu suddenly had an idea, this time he would shoot a historical blockbuster with special effects.
