Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 292 The New Film Tycoon
To say that the most opposed people here are probably Mai Jia and Shi Tian.

When Lei Juekun brought them here, he promised them a lot of things, so Mai Jia, like Shi Tiancai, desperately came here.

But now that Lin Daoqiu has bought Princess Jin, he naturally doesn't need to abide by the original agreement between Lei Juekun and them.

It's okay if Mai Jia and Shi Tian plan to leave now, but where can they go?
Switch to Golden Harvest?It is estimated that Zou Wenhuai will not accept them, because he had already issued a ban on the people of the struggle company.

It would be even more impossible to switch to Shaw Brothers. With Run Run Shaw's character, it would be a dream to create an independent production company and join him, and then share the profits equally with Run Run Shaw.

But in the end, it's all because Mai Jia and Shi Tian haven't made any high-grossing movies yet, so they're at a loss.

If they, like Lin Daoqiu, made one or two films that won box office championships, then they wouldn't need to act on Lin Daoqiu's face like this.

"The former Struggle Company will be renamed New Art City, and the members are the seven people sitting here. As for the shares held by you, I have already allocated them for you, and the box office share will be distributed according to this ratio in the future."

Lin Daoqiu didn't even discuss it, and directly decided on the name of New Art City and their shareholding ratio.

First of all, Lin Daoqiu is the major shareholder, so he gets [-]%, Mai Jia and Shi Tian each get [-]%, and everyone else gets [-]%.

Because Tsui Hark just joined, he and Shi Nansheng each got half of the share.

It seems that Lin Daoqiu's distribution is fair, Mai Jia and Shi Tian get the most, and everyone else gets a share.

But for Mai Jia and Shi Tian, ​​this allocation is very unfavorable to them.

Before, Shi Tian took [-]%, Huang Baiming took [-]%, and the remaining [-]% was divided equally between Jin Gongzhu and Mai Jia. The rest basically belonged to wage earners and had no shares.

But with Lin Daoqiu's distribution now, although everyone has meat to eat, Mai Jia can be said to have suffered the worst.

Calculated according to the previous income, he can get [-]% of the share, but now only [-]% is left, which can be said to be a full [-]% reduction all at once, how could he bear it.

"Mr. Lin, I think the distribution of this seems inappropriate."

Maijia just held back and didn't get angry for the time being, but Lin Daoqiu was simply too bullying, and he lost [-]% of his income all at once, anyone would think so.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu had already thought about this matter before coming here, and he also knew that Mai Jia would definitely express his dissatisfaction on the spot, so he was not surprised at all.

"I know that Mr. Mai was able to get [-]% of his income before, but now he will be unhappy when he is suddenly cut by [-]%."

I believe that if such a thing happened to anyone present, no one would be happy, and it was no wonder that Maijia would express her dissatisfaction in public.

"But you should think of it this way. Although your shares are reduced by [-]%, you will get more money in the future than before."

Lin Daoqiu's words made Maijia feel a little puzzled. He had already lost [-]% of the share, so how could he get more money than before.

He said these words are simply too insulting to his IQ, does Lin Daoqiu think he is a three-year-old child?

But Lin Daoqiu didn't seem to see that Mai Jia was frowning, so he continued talking.

"The box office of the movie you made before was between 200 and 500 million. Even if it is the current "Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing", the final box office is only about 100 million at most. According to the previous share, you can share about [-] million. Right ?"

What Lin Daoqiu said were all facts, so Mai Jia didn't think about refuting the other party's words, so he nodded.

But Mai Jia couldn't figure out why Lin Daoqiu said these words.

"I can assure everyone that your future income will only be higher than before. If I don't do what I said, you can leave at any time and I will definitely not stop you."

Except for Mai Jia and Shi Tian, ​​everyone present was very satisfied with the share they got, so they naturally had no intention of leaving.

The current problem lies with Mai Jia and Shi Tian, ​​but Shi Tian is fine to say, after all, compared with Mai Jia, his loss of shares is still within an acceptable range.

So the biggest problem is Mai Jia, if he doesn't accept it, he can only choose to leave.

But because there is no good place to go now, Mai Jia can only agree temporarily.

"Okay, since Mr. Lin said so, then I will stay here temporarily. If Mr. Lin's words cannot be fulfilled by then, then I will have to find another way."

Mai Jia's decision can be said to have saved his film career. If he chooses to leave at this time, it won't be long before he makes a film and there will be no place to release it.

"By the way, Mr. Lin, what's the name of the new theater circuit?"

At this time, Zeng Zhiwei changed the topic to another place in order to ease the atmosphere.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu thought for a long time about the name of the new cinema chain, but he couldn't decide. In the end, he simply chose a very old-fashioned name.

"Golden Princess will be renamed New Oriental Cinemas in the future."

Everyone applauded when they heard the name, but in fact they didn't know why Lin Daoqiu chose this name.

However, they are all guessing that the reason why Lin Daoqiu chose this name may be to dominate the entire Asian film market based on New Oriental Cinemas.

After all, he is only less than 20 years old now, and he is still so capable. I believe it is not impossible for this idea to come true.

…………

The change of owner of Princess Jin has not been announced yet, so most people don't know about it.

But when the Golden Princess officially changed its name to New Oriental Cinemas, everyone knew at this time that Lin Daoqiu had bought the Golden Princess without saying a word.

Almost at the same time, the news was published on the front pages of all the newspapers.

And these newspapers and magazines gave Lin Daoqiu a new name, calling him the new film tycoon of Xiangjiang.

It has only been a year and a half since swimming in the Xiangjiang River, and a young man under the age of 20 has already purchased an entire theater chain.

What Lin Daoqiu did could not be described as a miracle.

And his legendary experience has become the envy of many people.

Many young people have even started to use Lin Daoqiu as an example, thinking that one day they can make a lot of money like him.

However, Lin Daoqiu turned a deaf ear to outside voices, and even newspapers like "Ming Pao" were blocked from interviewing him.

But the more Lin Daoqiu is like this, the more people are interested in him. After all, everyone is curious about mysterious things and wants to find out.
