Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 252 Isao Matsuoka's Request
"Mission Impossible is about to be released, unprecedented and unprecedented, with a production cost of 30 billion, and the first major production in Asia starring a female lead."

On the huge poster, Lin Qingxia is holding a gun and wearing a pair of sunglasses, looking very cool looking back.

But Dongbao is quite face-saving. This time, they specially invited a lot of reporters to promote "Mission Impossible".

In fact, they did this because after watching this movie, they all agreed that this movie is definitely the best action movie made in Asia so far.

What's even more commendable is that this drama is still played by a woman, which can be said to surprise them.

If they had any doubts about movies starring women before.

This movie has already exceeded 2000 million box office in Xiangjiang, and also broke the historical box office record of Xiangjiang.

Based on what they have seen and the information they can get, this drama definitely has the potential to be a big hit.

And this time, Dongbao took the initiative to apply for cooperation with Shaw Brothers. For this reason, they specially increased the box office share to [-]%, just to win this drama.

Isao Matsuoka and other managers all believe that if this movie is taken away by Shochiku Films, it will be a very big blow to them.

And because Run Run Shaw had cooperated with Dongbao many times, he didn't plan to change his partner, so when Dongbao sent a cooperation intention, he also agreed.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for flying to Tokyo for promotion this time. Did you rest well last night?"

Before going on stage, Isao Matsuoka chatted with Lin Daoqiu. This middle-aged man with glasses and sharp eyes was the president of Dongbao.

Dongbao, which he controls, is the largest film production company in Neon, and produces many films of various types every year.

It is not a bad thing for Lin Daoqiu to make friends with each other, and the neon market is currently the largest movie ticket warehouse in Asia.

Many people in Xiangjiang hope to have their films screened in Neon, so that they can get more box office revenue.

But it's a pity that generally those who are willing to cooperate with them are small film producers.

Even if the movie is bought by these people, getting Neon will not have a very good schedule and number of screens.

But once it can be favored by a film company like Dongbao, then there is no need to worry about any problems, just wait for the money to be collected.

"Chairman Matsuoka is too kind, the hotel you arranged for us is very good, I am very satisfied."

"It's good to be satisfied. In fact, to be honest, after watching "Mission Impossible", I had a deep feeling, because I didn't expect Xiangjiang to make such an excellent action movie."

Matsuoka Isao's words made Lin Daoqiu sound a little uncomfortable, what is Xiangjiang can make such an action movie.

Although Isao Matsuoka looked very polite, there was still a haughty attitude in his bones.

Lin Daoqiu didn't even know what he was so proud of. If he couldn't make such a movie himself, wouldn't others be allowed to make it?

If it weren't for the fact that Neon has a large enough population and the film's market size is large enough, he really didn't want to come here to promote it.

"There are still many things that Chairman Matsuoka didn't expect, and I'm afraid there will be more things that will shock you in the future."

Lin Daoqiu replied to the other party neither soft nor hard. Xiao Liang hesitated for a while, but still responded to Lin Daoqiu's complete words.

But Matsuoka Isao didn't seem to understand Lin Daoqiu's meaning, he just nodded with a smile.

"I think I had the same drive as Mr. Lin when I was young, but unfortunately now that I am older, it is no longer what it used to be."

Lin Daoqiu didn't answer the other party's words, but just nodded there.

In fact, Matsuoka Isao met Lin Daoqiu today, apart from promoting "Mission Impossible", he also wanted to chat with Lin Daoqiu about one more thing.

You must know that now is the era of the rapid rise of the neon economy. If you have a good life, you will naturally have a variety of entertainment activities.

Going to the cinema to watch movies is naturally one of the entertainments.

"I would like to treat Mr. Lin to a meal after the promotion is over. I don't know what Mr. Lin would like."

Lin Daoqiu agreed without much hesitation, after all, he is now on his territory.

And from Matsuoka Gong's tone, he knew that he must have something to talk to himself, and it was definitely not as simple as simply treating himself to dinner.

...............

It's almost evening after the Mission: Impossible campaign ends.

Brigitte Lin was arranged to participate in a variety show for publicity, so Lin Daoqiu, as the screenwriter, naturally didn't have to go along.

So he was invited by Isao Matsuoka to a well-known Japanese restaurant in Tokyo.

In addition to Isao Matsuoka, there are two other people who seem to be in the management class.

"Mr. Lin, the food here can be said to be the most traditional and authentic Japanese food. It is very delicious. You can try it."

Hearing what Matsuoka said, Lin Daoqiu still had some expectations.

But when the waiter brought things up, Lin Daoqiu found that there were sushi and sashimi and all kinds of naked bodies again.

It seems that Neon people regard sushi as the most luxurious food.

"Come on, let me offer a toast to Mr. Lin."

At this time, Song Ganggong raised his cup and toasted Lin Daoqiu.

Neon's sake is not high in alcohol, so it is easy to enter the throat.

While drinking, Isao Matsuoka suddenly changed the topic to movies.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, the reason why I invited you to Tokyo this time is that I added such an extra requirement when signing the contract."

Hearing what Matsuoka said, Lin Daoqiu was a little surprised. He couldn't figure out why Matsuoka wanted to see him so much.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, I have carefully studied your experience before. It's okay not to read it, but after reading it, I was really shocked."

Isao Matsuoka couldn't imagine that a young man who had just arrived in Xiangjiang last year could make a movie that broke the box office of history.

And then, the TV series and movies he made were very popular. This is the most incredible thing Matsuoka Isao has seen in his life.

After staying in Dongbao for so many years, he has never seen any genius directors. It's a pity that most of those so-called genius directors just flashed and disappeared.

Even if someone is lucky, there is no way to keep making popular movies like Lin Daoqiu.

"I'm just lucky."

Lin Daoqiu was extremely humble.

But after listening to Xiao Liang's translation, Isao Matsuoka suddenly shook his head vigorously.

"The success of one or two dramas may be called luck, but Mr. Lin has not missed one so far, which means you are definitely not just lucky."

Lin Daoqiu didn't know why Matsuoka Kou said this. Could it be that he had some kind of conspiracy to boast about himself?
"I hope to work with Mr. Lin on a movie. There is no upper limit on the budget. You can choose the actors of Neon. As long as you need it, Dongbao will do its best to satisfy you."
