Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 438

"Mr. Lin seems to have finished talking with Xie Xian, we can go over."

Mai Jia and Huang Baiming saw that Lin Daoqiu had arrived early in the morning, but because Xie Xian was ahead of him, they could only return to their seats temporarily, but their eyes never moved away from Lin Daoqiu.

But as soon as Huang Baiming finished speaking, Mai Jia shook his head.

"It looks like we're a step behind."

As soon as Mai Jia finished speaking, Huang Baiming saw Sammo Hung and others appearing beside Lin Daoqiu.

"Hey, it looks like I have to wait again."

Huang Baiming couldn't help but sighed.

After Lin Daoqiu and Xie Xian finished talking over there, Sammo Hung and the others came over.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Lin."

Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Lin Zhengying, and Zhong Fa are New Oriental's strongest kung fu stars, but since Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao joined New Oriental last year, they have been filming The Mummy.

For the movie "The Mummy", Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao even delayed their own movie, which is not a good thing for Lin Daoqiu.

After all, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao can only be regarded as supporting roles in the movie "The Mummy". Although there are many roles in the show, the most outstanding roles in general are Mel and Brigitte Lin.

Lin Daoqiu had already talked to them when he started filming this movie, but they still enjoyed it, which made Lin Daoqiu didn't know what to say.

"Since we're all here, let's sit together."

Lin Daoqiu brought Sammo Hung and the others to the main table, and Mai Jia and Huang Baiming also sat here because they had cameo appearances in "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants".

"Mr. Mai, Mr. Huang, are you two here?"

As soon as Lin Daoqiu walked to the main table, he saw Mai Jia and Huang Baiming sitting here, which made him a little surprised.

After all, the box office of "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants" surpassed that of "Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing 2". From Lin Daoqiu's point of view, those guys in Xinyi City have always been arrogant, so how could they come over to support them?
Even if Mai Jia and the others have cameo appearances in this drama, but according to the urine nature of several of them, they will definitely not be present under such circumstances.

Perhaps because of his relationship, Lin Daoqiu mistakenly thought that Mai Jia and Huang Baiming came to support "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants" today, and he had to come because of his own face.

"Mr. Lin, happy new year."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu arrived, Mai Jia and Huang Baiming immediately stood up and greeted him with smiles on their faces.

"I'm sorry, I just came back from a trip to Treasure Island, so I couldn't wish you all New Year's greetings. I'm here to offer a toast to apologize."

As the owner of Xiangjiang Cinemas and New Oriental, Lin Daoqiu suddenly went to Baodao during the Chinese New Year, and many people were planning to give him New Year's greetings but had no chance.

So Lin Daoqiu poured himself a glass of wine, and then regarded himself as a punishment.

The others didn't even dare to say so, they all raised their wine glasses one after another, and drank the wine with Lin Daoqiu.

After putting down their wine glasses, Mai Jia and Huang Baiming looked at each other, and it seemed that their idea of ​​having a private chat with Lin Daoqiu could not be realized for the time being.

Because there are so many people sitting here, if they throw their plans here, God knows what others will think.

After all, what New Art City wanted to make this time was a big-budget movie, even though they themselves didn't know how much budget they should ask Lin Daoqiu.

Not to mention that the box office of "Ghost Horse 2" did not even exceed [-] million this time, so they didn't have the confidence to discuss this matter with Lin Daoqiu in front of so many people.

So Mai Jia and Huang Baiming had no choice but to keep this matter in their hearts for the time being, and planned to see if they could find a chance to have a private chat with Lin Daoqiu later.

…………

"Godfather, why do you suddenly come to this celebration banquet today?"

Before Jackie Chan returned to Hong Kong after filming "Cannonball Run" from Hollywood, he stepped up and started working on his own movie.

Originally, before the end of the year, he had already gone to the set early to speed up filming. On this day, He Guanchang suddenly called him out, saying that he was going to attend the celebration banquet of "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants" together.

"It's very simple, because Mr. Lin just came back from Baodao, so I plan to take you to talk to him about the new play."

After He Guanchang said this, Jackie Chan understood why He Guanchang brought him here today.

Now that the three theater chains have merged into one, the previous conflict between Golden Harvest and New Oriental naturally disappeared. What He Guanchang is thinking now is to see if he can get a script from Lin Daoqiu.

Although Xu Guanwen's "Modern Bodyguard" played during the Spring Festival this year, the problem is that it takes at least two years for that guy to make a movie, so you can't count on him at all.

And this time He Guanchang came here for another purpose, that is to test to see if he can continue to cooperate with Sammo Hung and the others. After all, there is really no way to make the film "Five Lucky Stars" without Sammo Hung and the others.

When He Guanchang walked in with Jackie Chan from the outside, Lin Daoqiu saw them at a glance.

"Mr. He and Aaron are here."

Sammo Hung and the others also saw He Guanchang and Jackie Chan, but compared to the evasive eyes of Lin Zhengying and Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung seemed very open-minded, at least when he met the other party's eyes, he did not evade.

"Congratulations to Director Wang for his box office success. A small gesture is no respect."

He Guanchang took out a big red envelope and handed it to Wang Jing, which made Wang Jing not know what to do, he could only turn his head and look at Lin Daoqiu.

"Hurry up and take over the big red envelope that Mr. He gave you. There are not many opportunities like this."

Since the three theater chains are all united, Lin Daoqiu will naturally not have any trouble with Jiahe.

"Thank you Mr. He."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jing happily accepted the red envelope from He Guanchang.

"Add tableware for Mr. He and Along."

He Guanchang and Jackie Chan naturally wanted to sit here. Although Lin Daoqiu didn't know what the purpose of He Guanchang and Jackie Chan's trip was, he guessed that it should be related to the people at his table.

After all, only Jackie Chan and the Xu brothers are left in Golden Harvest. Although their movies are very popular, their output is too small.

If He Guanchang can negotiate with Sammo Hung and the others, it will be equivalent to reinjecting a ray of vitality into Golden Harvest, especially after these theaters are united, their films will definitely be more popular than before.

Perhaps it was because of the presence of two great figures, Lin Daoqiu and He Guanchang, that everyone behaved properly when drinking. I believe that at this time, absolutely no one would dare to yell here.

After a few drinks, Wen Jun and Wang Jing got up and prepared to toast the guests. After they left, He Guanchang saw the opportunity, walked up to Lin Daoqiu and sat down.

"Mr. Lin, if you don't mind, I have some things I want to talk to you alone, isn't it convenient?"

He Guanchang took the initiative to invite Lin Daoqiu.

"In that case, let's go over there and talk."

Lin Daoqiu did not refuse He Guanchang's invitation, because he could more or less guess what the other party wanted to talk to him about, it was nothing more than cooperation or a script.

After watching Lin Daoqiu and He Guanchang leave together, Huang Baiming shook his head helplessly.

"He was robbed again."

　Thank you, Master Miao, for your monthly pass!mwah! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
