Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 336 Who Gave The Confidence?
After listening to Zou Wenhuai's words, Run Run Shaw and Fang Yat-hua turned their heads to Kars who was next to him almost at the same time.

In their view, if Zou Wenhuai wants to cooperate with a Hollywood company, Warner must be their first choice.

Since this is the case, Kars must have known about it.

But Kars was also at a loss at this time, because Zou Wenhuai had never talked to him about this matter before, nor did he reveal any intentions in this regard.

"I don't know about this matter. Mr. Zou never told me about it."

Kars wasn't worried that Run Run Shaw and the others would misunderstand, but because he was helping Michael Dellar with the production fee, he had to explain to Run Run Shaw quickly.

Run Run Shaw just nodded after listening to Carls's words. Today he wanted to announce that he would invest in a big Hollywood movie, but unexpectedly, Zou Wenhuai stole the limelight first.

"Could it be that Zou Wenhuai already knew our intentions, so he took the lead?"

Fang Yihua suspected that Zou Wenhuai had never thought of investing in any Hollywood movies before, but he suddenly brought up this topic after knowing that Run Run Shaw intended to do so, in order not to make Shaw Brothers show off.

After thinking for a few seconds, Run Run Shaw shook his head, because Zou Wenhuai should not be so stupid.

It would be foolish of him to spend $2000 million to make a movie just because he didn't want the Shaw Brothers to show off.

Based on what Run Run Shaw knew about Zou Wenhuai, the other party was definitely not such a fool.

Suddenly, Run Run Shaw turned his head to look at Lin Daoqiu on his right, and then he was reminiscing what Zou Wenhuai had just said on stage.

As a result, Lin Daoqiu wrote the script and Golden Harvest invested, and the two sides joined together to make a big Hollywood production.

If it weren't for this, Zou Wenhuai wouldn't be so stupid that he spent another 2000 million US dollars to burn a "Killer's Trenches" last year.

"Could it be that Mr. Lin wrote the script?"

Kars also thought of this possibility. Golden Harvest cooperated with Warner in last year's "Killer's Trenches", but both sides lost money.

Golden Harvest made a comeback this year, and spent 2000 million US dollars all at once, which shows how much confidence he has in this drama.

And now there is only one person in Xiangjiang who can bring him such confidence, and that is Lin Daoqiu.

"Just say that when you go up later..."

Run Run Shaw suddenly put his head close to Fang Yat Hua's ear and whispered something.

Fang Yihua's eyes widened slightly after listening, because Run Run Shaw's decision was different from what he said before.

But since it was Run Run Shaw's decision, Fang Yat Hua naturally would not refuse, she nodded after listening.

After Zou Wenhuai finished his speech, the scene burst into warm applause. It can be said that Golden Harvest really made a splash tonight.

"Did something happen?"

Michael Daly found that something was wrong, but because he couldn't understand what Zou Wenhuai just said on stage, he still didn't understand what happened.

"The gentleman on the stage just now is Zou Wenhuai, the chairman of Golden Harvest Company. He just announced that he will invest 2000 million US dollars to produce a movie in Hollywood."

Kars explained it to McDally.

"My God, does it mean that any film company in Xiangjiang can spend tens of millions of dollars to invest in a movie? This is simply too crazy."

Michael Daly had begged his grandpa to sue his grandma in Hollywood before, but he couldn’t get investment. As a result, Warner’s people suggested that he go to Xiangjiang to try his luck.

When Dangdang Michael Daley arrived in Xiangjiang, he met Shaw with the help of Kars.

After several talks between the two parties, Run Run Shaw agreed to invest 700 million US dollars to make the film.

You must know that Run Run Shaw's decision moved Michael Daly to the core, and he had already prepared for the worst before that.

If there is still no investor in Xiangjiang, this "Blade Runner" will be temporarily sealed, and we will talk about it when the time is ripe or when it attracts investment.

"Golden Harvest is not a small company in Xiangjiang. The box office champions in the past few years were all won by films produced by Golden Harvest."

It was only after Carls explained to McDally that he realized that he was wrong, and a very embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

"Come with me to meet someone."

In order to verify his conjecture, Kars decided to have a chat with Lin Daoqiu. Originally, he planned to go to him after the show was over.

Kars said sorry to Run Run Shaw, and then led Michael Daly towards Lin Daoqiu's table.

"Long time no see. I heard a lot about you when I returned to Xiangjiang. Congratulations, Boss Lin."

As soon as Kars walked over, Lin Daoqiu got up and gave him a big hug.

"I thought Warner would keep you in the head office."

It can be said that Kars contributed a lot to the operation of "Mission Impossible" last time, and Lin Daoqiu is naturally grateful to him.

"Ashley had mentioned it before, but I said no."

Kars shrugged. It seemed that he had no interest in staying at the head office.

"Oh, by the way, this is the talented screenwriter who made Fox spend [-] million dollars to buy his copyright. This is McDally, a producer in Hollywood."

Carls did not forget to introduce Michael Daly to Lin Daoqiu.

McDally didn't expect that the young man Kars brought him to meet turned out to be the screenwriter of "Mission Impossible". You must know that the other party has stole the limelight in Hollywood.

The topic of the astronomical copyright fee of [-] million US dollars has been aroused in Hollywood, and everyone is discussing whether it is worth it for Fox to spend this money.

In McDally's view, Fox must be making money. As long as they continue the production style of this show, maybe the next sequel will be able to earn back the copyright fee.

"Nice to meet you, you can call me Mike."

"You two, please sit down."

The previously empty seat finally became a little angry. Originally, Lin Daoqiu thought that he would sit there all night tonight.

Lin Daoqiu has already made up his mind that if he wants to participate in these receptions and other activities next time, he must find a companion. He doesn't want to sit down like this time.

"Tell me honestly, are you joining forces with Jiahe this time?"

Lin Daoqiu is no longer an outsider, so what Kars asked was very direct.

"Then I'll tell you honestly, it's the first time I've heard what Mr. Zou said just now."

Originally, Kars had already determined that this matter had something to do with Lin Daoqiu, but when the other party said this, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

Because Kars just came back from the head office, he had never heard of any cooperation between Warner and Golden Harvest before.

Since this is the case, the only possibility is that Golden Harvest's partner this time is not Warner, but another Hollywood film company.
