Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 335 Golden Harvest's Generosity (I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

"Just now I saw Chen Bosheng and Shu Qi running to chat with Lin Daoqiu for a while."

After He Guanchang finished speaking, Zou Wenhuai showed a surprised expression on his face.

Shu Qi worked as an assistant director and screenwriter at Golden Harvest, and Chen Baisheng seemed to be the editor-in-chief of a certain movie magazine. Could it be that the two of them are going to change jobs to New Oriental?
But if they really had this idea, they wouldn't choose such a conspicuous moment here to show it to themselves, right?

In He Guanchang's eyes, Shu Qi is a talent for making movies. He originally planned to train him for a period of time and then let him become a director, but now the other party seems to be impatient to become a full-time director, and he still uses the method of job-hopping.

"Do you want someone to remind him?"

He Guanchang didn't want a talent like Shu Qi to be poached by Lin Daoqiu, he wanted someone to remind Shu Qi and let him rein in the precipice.

However, contrary to He Guanchang's attitude, Zou Wenhuai didn't seem to mind this matter very much.

"I don't think it's possible. The Shaw Brothers just issued a ban on New Oriental. Lin Daoqiu wouldn't be so stupid to pick this moment to have trouble with us. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding."

Zou Wenhuai guessed that maybe they were just chatting, and if they really wanted to change jobs, they should do it in a more secretive way.

And for the sake of Shu Qi and Jiahe, if Lin Daoqiu is really that stupid, Zou Wenhuai doesn't mind letting Shu Qi jump to New Oriental.

"Speaking of which, Shu Qi has been sidestepping me, hoping that Golden Harvest will take the lead in organizing a film festival."

Speaking of this, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. He didn't know how Shu Qi and the others came up with this kind of thing, and they even took the idea on their own head.

It is not so easy to organize a film festival, and even though Golden Harvest is the leader in Xiangjiang's film market, it is really inappropriate for him to take the lead in doing this.

Because since it is a film festival in a region, it shouldn't be shared with each other.

But given the grievances and grievances between Golden Harvest and Shao Brothers, Uncle Liu might not be willing to watch Golden Harvest show off, and his people from the Shao Brothers can only serve as foils.

So Shu Qi said this proposal several times, but Zou Wenhuai didn't think about it seriously at all, and just used some words to perfuse the other party.

Over time, Shu Qi also knew that Zou Wenhuai had no intention of organizing this film festival, so he never mentioned it again.

"I've also heard him mention this matter. Although this idea is very good, it's a pity that Golden Harvest is not suitable for it."

In addition to Zou Wenhuai, Shu Qi also mentioned it to He Guanchang, but it is a pity that He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai have the same idea, and Jiahe can't handle this matter.

At this time, Zou Wenhuai, who had a smile on his face, suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something.

"Do you think Shu Qi and Chen Baisheng will go to Lin Daoqiu and let him take the lead in organizing this film festival?"

As soon as Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, He Guanchang immediately opened his eyes wide. It was not a question of whether he would or not. Since they had encountered so many obstacles on their side and Zou Wenhuai's side, it was not impossible for them to turn their heads to talk to Lin Daoqiu.

"New Oriental takes the lead in organizing this film festival? Is it possible? I'm afraid Shaw Brothers will not be the first to participate."

Thinking of Shaw's recent relationship with New Oriental, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help laughing.

Although Shaw Brothers is now in a state of sunset, Shaw Brothers' actors still occupy a large base in Xiangjiang.

If Lin Daoqiu wants to hold this film festival without the actors of Shaw Brothers, then I am afraid that the excitement will be greatly reduced.

"It would be even better if Lin Daoqiu really wants to hold this film festival, and he will definitely ask us to do so."

Zou Wenhuai hoped that Lin Daoqiu would agree, and then they could take the opportunity to make various demands.

If Lin Daoqiu wants actors related to Golden Harvest to participate in this film festival, he must come up with conditions that satisfy them.

But this time Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang's goal is not Xiangjiang, but Hollywood.

At that time, let Lin Daoqiu write a few big productions, so that Golden Harvest can also shine in Hollywood.

"It's a pity, if we had known about this earlier, we wouldn't have spent 2000 million dollars to invest in this movie."

Thinking of this, He Guanchang couldn't help shaking his head.

In order to make Golden Harvest famous in Hollywood as soon as possible, this time Golden Harvest invested 2000 million US dollars and sent Jackie Chan and Xu Guanwen to make a big-budget movie in Hollywood.

And in order to make this movie well, they also hired Bi Reynolds to play the leading role with a sky-high salary of 500 million US dollars.

This time Zou Wenhuai did not choose to cooperate with Warner, but turned around and found Fox as the distribution company. I am afraid that because of the box office failure of "Killer Trenches" last time, Zou Wenhuai had a bad idea about Warner.

"Forget it, since everything has been decided, it's useless to think about anything else, and we spent so much money to hire Bereynolds, I believe this movie will be absolutely fine."

Zou Wenhuai has a lot of confidence in this. He has high expectations for this movie. Apart from making money, he also wants Jackie Chan and Xu Guanwen to show their faces in Hollywood.

Not to mention an instant hit, but at least let the Hollywood audience know that there are two Xiangjiang actors.

After that, they can step by step, and then slowly invest in more movies in Hollywood, so as to build up Golden Harvest's reputation.

While they were still chatting, the host's voice suddenly came from the stage.

"Distinguished guests, now let us give the warmest applause to welcome Mr. Zou Wenhuai, Chairman of Golden Harvest Film Company, to the stage to deliver a speech."

When Zou Wenhuai heard his name being called on the stage, he immediately stood up, thanked his surroundings, and then walked towards the stage.

"It's a great honor to participate in today's Chinese New Year Reception. Xiangjiang Films has been on a whole year since last year, and it has improved to a higher level than before. This is all due to the hard work of you and a large number of film practitioners. I am here My sincerest thanks to all of you here and to those film colleagues who were not able to be there."

The New Year reception is nothing more than saying auspicious words, encouraging the juniors, and showing off our company by the way.

There are two ways to show off here, one is to show off the previous achievements, but this time Zou Wenhuai chose the second.

"This year, Golden Harvest will continue its previous steps to produce more and better movies for everyone. In addition, Golden Harvest will spend 2000 million US dollars this year to produce a blockbuster movie in Hollywood."

Most people didn't listen very carefully to the previous words, but after Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, the attention of many people present suddenly increased a lot.

Everyone remembers that last year Golden Harvest Film Investment invested in the filming of "The Killer's Trenches", which turned out to be a complete mess.

When ordinary people encounter such a situation, they will definitely stabilize their own territory first, and then consider expanding outside.

But I didn't expect that Zou Wenhuai would not give up, and this time he even stepped up his efforts and made a move of 2000 million U.S. dollars, which shows that his ambition is not small.

　Thank you, Master Miao, for your monthly pass!mwah! ╰(*°▽°*)╯ Wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival
