Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 418

For Hao Xiangxiao and Xing Youli, there are actually a lot of things they can get from Lin Daoqiu. Money is only one aspect, but what they want most is performance.

Lin Daoqiu is now an internationally renowned screenwriter, and he is also the owner of Xiangjiang Cinemas. If he can come to Baodao to help make a few movies promoting Baodao, the higher-ups will be very happy.

If they can facilitate this matter, maybe after a few years of hard work, the adverbs on their heads can be removed.

It can be said that in their eyes, Lin Daoqiu has become a cash cow for the two of them and a tool for promotion. It is no wonder that Hao Xiangxiao and Xing Youli are so anxious to ask Lin Daoqiu out to meet during the Chinese New Year.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, I invited you here today because I want to cooperate with you on a few things."

After Xing Youli finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu just laughed and said nothing. Although the other party said it was cooperation, Lin Daoqiu felt that they might just want to get benefits from himself, and Lin Daoqiu didn't think the other party could give them any help.

He has both the money and the market. Although Lin Daoqiu can't say that his movie shooting technology is the best in the world, he thinks that no one in Asia can surpass the magic studio in his hand.

So these two guys came to him to cooperate, it can be said that they basically just wanted to take advantage of him.

"If that's the case, then I'll just listen to you."

Lin Daoqiu was not in a hurry to reject the other party. After all, it might not be a good thing to tear faces with them directly, so Lin Daoqiu could only hold his nose and stay here.

"Previously, there was not much response to Baodao's films in Hong Kong. Now that the three theaters have merged into one, we hope that Mr. Lin will give us more preferential treatment in the film production of China Film Film in the future."

The purpose of Xing Youli's doing this is not to help China Film make money, but to make the films on Baodao have greater influence on Xiangjiang.

And Lin Daoqiu could see the other party's intentions at a glance. Speaking of which, it was considered good that he hadn't kicked out all the movies on Baodao, so naturally he couldn't help Xing Youli with this favor.

"Director Xing, although I am the major shareholder of Xiangjiang Cinemas, the film arrangement plan still needs to be approved by Mr. Zou and Mr. Shao. I can't make the decision alone."

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't explicitly reject the other party, the meaning in his words was clear. If they wanted to get preferential treatment in filming, they had to talk to Zou Wenhuai and Run Run Shaw.

Even if Zou Wenhuai and Run Run Shaw agreed at that time, it didn't matter. Lin Daoqiu didn't mind cutting their schedule and adding it to these films of China Film Group. Anyway, he would not harm his own interests for them.

"Mr. Lin, are you joking? You now control 55% of the shares in Xiangjiang Cinemas, and Mr. Zou and Mr. Shao have a good relationship with us. If you mention it, they will definitely not object."

As soon as Xing Youli heard it, he knew that these were all Lin Daoqiu's excuses, but he also guessed that Lin Daoqiu would say this. If he hadn't asked the other party, Xing Youli would have lost his face by now.

"Director Xing is not a roundworm in the stomachs of the two of them. This is just your guess. I think it's better to call and discuss with the two of them."

Lin Daoqiu didn't reject Xing Youli at all. After all, the other party was just a deputy director of the China Film Liaison Office. If he could scare himself with a few words, then Lin Daoqiu didn't have to mess around.

Hao Xiangxiao on the side listened to the conversation between Xing Youli and Lin Daoqiu, making him frown while listening.

Because at first Hao Xiangxiao felt that this was just a trivial matter, and he didn't even think that Lin Daoqiu would refuse their request on this matter.

If Lin Daoqiu had this attitude, wouldn't it be very difficult to talk about next?

Thinking of this, the expression on Hao Xiangxiao's face became even uglier.

"Let's leave it at that for the time being. We'll talk about it after we contact Mr. Zou and Mr. Shao."

For Hao Xiangxiao, this is just a small matter, he doesn't want to waste too much time on it, because what he really wants is in the back.

So it doesn't matter to Hao Xiangxiao even if the matter of arranging the film doesn't go through, after all, it can only be regarded as a small matter of icing on the cake.

Then Hao Xiangxiao and Xing Youli suddenly looked at each other, and the other party immediately understood the meaning in Hao Xiangxiao's eyes.

"Come on, let's toast Mr. Lin and wish you a happy new year."

After Xing Youli finished speaking, they all raised the wine glasses in their hands and toasted Lin Daoqiu. It seemed that Xing Youli planned to resolve the previous unhappiness in this way.

Lin Daoqiu would not refuse to drink with them, so he also smiled and raised the glass in his hand.

After finishing the three glasses of wine and putting down the glass, Xing Youli started the second round of offensive again.

"Actually, Baodao has always admired Mr. Lin, and has always wanted to find an opportunity to cooperate with you. As long as Mr. Lin is willing to nod, we can provide you with whatever you need."

To put it bluntly, Hao Xiangxiao and Xing Youli planned to ask Lin Daoqiu to help them make a movie, which can be said to be the easiest thing to get results.

As long as the movie is filmed and released all over the world with the help of Lin Daoqiu's fame, it will be difficult for them not to think of results.

But for Lin Daoqiu, he never thought of cooperating with Baodao to make a movie, so he was not interested in Xing Youli's proposal at all.

"To tell you the truth, I have always wanted to cooperate with Baodao to make a movie, but unfortunately I don't have the time to spare now. I believe you two also know that I just became the boss of Xiangjiang Cinemas, and I have a lot of money in my hand. There are two films being shot."

Whether Lin Daoqiu is really busy or not is only known to him, but now it doesn't matter if Xing Youli is investigating, because Lin Daoqiu is not afraid of what they may find out at all.

You must know that Lin Daoqiu has two films in his hand, and there are a lot of things to deal with in Xiangjiang Cinemas, so how could he have time to come to Baodao to shoot films.

Xing Youli hadn't investigated these matters carefully before. He only knew that Lin Daoqiu had just become the boss of Xiangjiang Cinemas, but he didn't know that he still had two films in his hands.

But even so, they have already thought of a way to solve this matter.

"Since this is the case, we can't force Mr. Lin too much. I think it's better to just do this. Mr. Lin writes a few scripts for us, so it won't waste too much of your time, right?"

Everyone knows that Lin Daoqiu is a very successful filmmaker, but his greatest strength is his ability to write scripts.

And Hao Xiangxiao took a fancy to Lin Daoqiu's ability to write scripts, that's why he asked the other party to write a few scripts for them.

It seems that Hao Xiangxiao's appetite is really not small. You must know that the value of Lin Daoqiu's current script may even exceed [-] million US dollars.

This guy actually wanted Lin Daoqiu to write a few scripts for him casually. I have to say that his face is really big enough.
