Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 291 Rename
The next day, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao came to Zou Wenhuai's office full of expectations.

Because they have heard that Zou Wenhuai invited Lin Daoqiu out for tea.

Now that the two of them have already met, I believe that the two-line screening should have been settled.

But when Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao sat down to ask this question, Zou Wenhuai told them a bad news.

It is basically impossible for "Flying Dragon" to have a two-line screening this time, because he and Lin Daoqiu have not reached an agreement.

"Mr. Zou, is something wrong?"

Sammo Hung really couldn't figure it out, the conversation with Lin Daoqiu was fine at that time, and this matter should not seem difficult, how could it be like this in the end.

"Mr. Lin wants to release "Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing" first, but you also know that Christmas is coming soon..."

He Guanchang followed Zou Wenhuai's words and continued: "Everyone is scrambling for the Christmas time, which is understandable, but because of this, the double-screening thing can only fail."

Jiahe would never give in. They would rather confront Lin Daoqiu head-on than compromise at this time, and it would be the same with Lin Daoqiu.

Originally, Golden Harvest and Lin Daoqiu had a pretty good relationship, but because of the matter of the joint theater chain, it was a bit incompatible, and now they couldn't reach an agreement because of the two-line screening.

I'm afraid anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that there must be something wrong with the relationship between Jiahe and Lin Daoqiu.

When Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao heard this, they knew it was impossible to continue this matter, so they could only nod their heads and left in disgrace.

After Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao left, He Guanchang seemed a little worried.

"I'm worried that if things go on like this, our relationship with Lin Daoqiu will get worse and worse."

It is not without reason that He Guanchang said these words. If they really messed up their relationship with Lin Daoqiu in the end, I am afraid that the possibility of continuing to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu will become less and less.

And if Lin Daoqiu is really in a hurry, he might leave Golden Harvest and form a new theater chain with Shaw Brothers, and then the headache will become Golden Harvest.

"Are you going to ask me to back down? Or are we really going to give up Christmas time?"

Zou Wenhuai seemed very dissatisfied with Lin Daoqiu, because in his opinion, the other party was a younger generation, and it should be Lin Daoqiu who bowed his head.

It's impossible for an old man like himself to bow his head to him, is it possible?If you say it, you will be laughed to death.

He Guanchang knew that Zou Wenhuai's temper was so stubborn, and he would not be able to persuade him for a while, so he could only nod in the end.

…………

In the end, the double-screening thing didn't happen, and by Christmas Day, "Dragon Warrior" and "Ghosts" were going to collide directly.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu had already guessed the final result. After all, this is a Hong Kong-style Kung Fu blockbuster created by the three brothers Lin Daoqiu and Sammo Hung.

The other one is a movie written by a few guys who are not yet well-known. I believe that what most audiences want to see most is "Flying Dragon".

I don't know if it's because of disgusting Lin Daoqiu, but on the posters outside Golden Harvest Cinemas, apart from the names of the three leading actors, the screenwriter Lin Daoqiu's name is the biggest.

When Li Maowen mentioned this matter, Lin Daoqiu just laughed it off, and didn't lose his temper because of it, but he took it very lightly.

And on December 12th, the theaters under Golden Harvest Cinemas were already full of audiences who wanted to buy tickets.

The trailer and commercials for "Dragon Warrior" began to spread the hype seven days ago.

Golden Harvest did not take it seriously just because Lin Daoqiu wrote and invested in this drama,

On the contrary, Golden Harvest went uncharacteristically this time and spent millions of publicity fees. Zou Wenhuai wanted to let everyone in Xiangjiang know about the movie "Flying Dragon".

And this strategy was undoubtedly successful. On the first day, all theaters under the Golden Harvest Academy were fully attended, and the box office of Feilong reached 170 million on the first day.

This has broken the box office record of 150 million set by "Five Lucky Stars".

On the other hand, "Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing" was also screened in all theaters under the Golden Princess at the same time, and Lin Daoqiu also doubled the promotion fee before.

However, compared to Golden Harvest's "Flying Dragon and Warrior", "Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing" is obviously much inferior.

This drama only got 87 box office on the first day, only half of that of "Flying Dragon".

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, who opened a red plate, couldn't be too happy, they couldn't wait to hold a celebration banquet for Sammo Hung and the others.

You must know that they were miserably trapped by "Killer's Trenches" before, but this time they managed to turn around, how could Zou Wenhuai not publicize it.

Even though Lin Daoqiu is the main key character in this play, Zou Wenhuai doesn't care about it.

He did this just to let everyone know that Xiangjiang's most powerful movies are now screened in Golden Harvest.

…………

"If there are no accidents, it would be good if we can get 500 million when this drama is finally released."

On this day, Lin Daoqiu invited Mai Jia and the seven of them to the Golden Princess, intending to talk about the reorganization of Struggle Company.

But they didn't know this at all. After they sat down, they began to chat about the difference between the two movies "Flying Dragon Warrior" and "Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing".

In the end they came to a conclusion, that is, they lost to Lin Daoqiu this time, not Hong Jinbao and the others.

But this kind of words can only comfort myself, if I say it, I'm afraid it will make people laugh out loud.

"You guys have been waiting for a long time."

Lin Daoqiu pushed open the door and walked in. The seven people immediately stood up when they saw Lin Daoqiu entering.

"You are welcome, please sit down."

Although Lin Daoqiu said so, the other seven dared not sit down until he sat down.

Others don't know, but Lin Daoqiu knows very well that the seven people in front of him are not ordinary people.

But these guys were very restless, especially Tsui Hark, who was full of whimsical ideas.

But it's okay now, the few films he made before all hit the street, so he had to join Struggle Company.

As for Mai Jia and Shi Tian, ​​what these two value is profit, so they occupy the absolute majority in Struggle Company.

"Since I have acquired the Golden Princess, the name of this theater must be changed."

Lin Daoqiu's words made the seven people sitting here nod repeatedly. It can be said that this is simply a normal thing.

"As for the struggling company you are currently in, I plan to reorganize and change the name by the way."

When Lin Daoqiu said this, the seven people sitting here were very surprised, but the expressions on their faces looked different.

Mai Jia and Shi Tian own more than half of the shares in Struggle Company, so they are the most nervous now.

As for the others, they secretly applauded Lin Daoqiu's decision. If they could get more money, they would have no reason to refuse.
