Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 407 Who will strike first
The three of them just nodded to each other, but they didn't say anything and went to the conference hall together.

When the door of the conference room opened, Lin Daoqiu stood in the middle, while Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai stood aside.

The reporters at the scene took photos with their cameras. They were unwilling to miss this historic moment.

After the three of them walked to the rostrum, Lin Daoqiu sat in the middle, and it was self-evident what this person represented.

Move the microphone in front of him, as one of the initiators of this joint press conference, Lin Daoqiu will explain to the reporters and guests on site on behalf of the other two companies.

"I am very grateful to all the distinguished guests present for coming to our joint press conference today. Here I will announce a decision jointly made by New Oriental, Golden Harvest, and Shaw Cinemas."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, many people at the scene began to discuss in low voices, and the shutters of the reporters' cameras kept pressing, and everyone was waiting for Lin Daoqiu to say this decision.

"Starting today, our three theaters will form a joint theater to inject more vitality into the future development of Xiangjiang Films."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted at the scene, and even Zou Wenhuai and Run Run Shaw beside him also applauded Lin Daoqiu, but whether they agreed with this matter from the bottom of their hearts, I’m afraid that’s another matter. up.

"I am very relieved to have Mr. Lin in charge of this joint theater chain."

"I believe that with Mr. Lin's ability, Xiangjiang's films will be better in the future. I am also happy to see it succeed."

Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai just echoed a few words, and then they were completely quiet for the rest of the time. After all, today's protagonist is Lin Daoqiu, so they didn't intend to steal the limelight from each other.

Although many people were looking forward to this joint press conference before, there were not many things said at the meeting.

After the press conference was over, Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai took their people away as if they had agreed, without having any conversation with Lin Daoqiu.

After all, they are willing to attend this joint press conference, which is already a great deal of face to Lin Daoqiu.

As for what many people hoped, to see them stage a bridge of grievances and reconciliation in the century at this press conference. In Lin Daoqiu's view, this is absolutely impossible to happen, and he never thought about it. Help Jiahe and Shao to resolve their grievances.

The headquarters of United Cinemas is located in New Oriental Cinemas. After all, Lin Daoqiu holds [-]% of the shares, so it is only natural to set up the head office here.

As for the name of this new theater chain, Lin Daoqiu has already discussed with Zou Wenhuai and Run Run Shaw, and he will use the name of Xiangjiang Cinemas. Someone will say something.

Among the many people who pay attention to Xiangjiang Cinemas, Chen Baisheng, the editor-in-chief of "Film Biweekly", and Shu Qi, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, are the two who most hope that this matter can be achieved.

Because as long as the three theaters unite, the things that prevented them from holding the film awards ceremony before will disappear without a trace.

"I think we can talk to Lin Daoqiu now."

Before, Chen Bosheng met Lin Daoqiu at the New Year's reception, and he also pulled Shu Qi and Lin Daoqiu to talk about it.

At that time, Lin Daoqiu once said that this award ceremony cannot be done by him alone, it must be done with the cooperation of the other two.

Unexpectedly, only one year has passed, and now all the conditions are ripe, which made Chen Baisheng so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days.

"If we go to talk to him, then the initiative will fall in the hands of Lin Daoqiu. I am worried that he will use this to manipulate the ownership of the award."

Shu Qi doesn't seem to trust Lin Daoqiu very much, but it's actually normal when you think about it. After all, once the film awards ceremony can really be held, the influence will definitely not be limited to Hong Kong.

As long as the award-winning actors, their worth and popularity will increase greatly, Shu Qi is worried that this originally well-intentioned move will instead turn into a banquet for the three of them to share the cake. This is the result he absolutely does not want or want to see .

"If we don't go to him, do you think he will come to us? And with Lin Daoqiu's current ability, he can create an award by himself."

Chen Baisheng felt that Shu Qi's idea was a bit too naive. Now that they have no one and no money, how could Lin Daoqiu come to cooperate with them.

"So we have to act first. I have already thought about it. There is an old classmate of mine at Xiangjiang Radio Station. I have talked to him before. The senior management of the radio station said that they are willing to assist us in organizing this awards ceremony. .”

Chen Bosheng didn't show a very happy expression on his face after listening to it, because Hong Kong Radio Station can actually provide them with not much help. It is obviously impossible to rely on them to hold a beautiful awards ceremony .

After all, for Chen Bosheng, his idea is to be able to hold an independent film awards event without external interference, but the process of achieving such a goal can be said to be extremely difficult, after all, they have no one and no money .

If he wanted to hold this award ceremony well with his passion, it would be nothing but a dream, so this is why he has not acted until now.

However, after listening to Shu Qi's words, Chen Baisheng felt that this seems to be a temporary solution. As long as the award ceremony is held, at least the name of the award ceremony can be spread first. As for other problems, it will be gradually solved in the future It is also possible to find a solution.

I have to say that Chen Bosheng and Shu Qi's ideas are actually very shallow, but they are very qualified pioneers, but in the last life, there were enough mistakes in the first and second Golden Statue Awards organized by them .

But the two of them don't know this yet, they both belong to the kind of character that just does what they say.

Chen Bosheng is going to call all the staff of "Film Biweekly", and discuss the list with other film-related people first.

As for Shu Qi, she is in charge of contacting Xiangjiang Radio Station, and then sees if she can find some sponsorship for this awards ceremony.

But just when the two of them were preparing to fight with slow momentum, a sudden news stunned the two of them.

Looking at the news published in "Ming Pao", Chen Baisheng and Shu Qi were almost stunned at the same time, because there was a piece of news that shocked them both.
