Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 679 Can Lin Daoqiu win?
After thinking for a while, Xiang Huaqiang slowly raised his head.

"I'm afraid Bao Shaogang won't agree to our shareholding."

Being able to invest in a theater chain is naturally the best choice.

At this time, the largest theater chain in Xiangjiang is naturally Baojia Cinemas jointly formed by Bao Shaogang and Golden Harvest.

Although Xiang Huaqiang and the others are very strong, it is not that simple to face Bao Shaogang.

When Xiang Huasheng heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled and shook his head.

"Brother Ten, I'm not stupid, how could I want to invest in Baojia Cinemas?"

Xiang Huasheng never thought about investing in Baojia Cinemas, because that was simply unrealistic.

"Do you mean that?"

Since it wasn't Baojia Cinemas, Xiang Huaqiang immediately realized what the name of the cinema Xiang Huasheng wanted to invest in.

"Yes, I want to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu and become a shareholder of his New Oriental Cinemas."

After Xiang Huasheng finished speaking, he nodded vigorously.

In fact, he has already thought about it, although Baojia Cinemas seems to be very powerful on the bright side.

But under Bao Shaogang's management, compared with Lin Daoqiu's Xiangjiang Cinemas before, no matter in terms of film quality or income, it is not a star and a half worse.

Even with the support of the Baojia family, Xiang Huasheng felt that it would be a good thing for Baojia Cinemas to lose less money.

After all, Bao Shaogang did not come from the film and television industry, and the reason why he wanted to form this Baojia theater chain was mainly for Lin Daoqiu.

"You should know that Bao Shaogang and Lin Daoqiu didn't deal with each other. We stand on Lin Daoqiu's side at this time. Bao Shaogang doesn't say anything, but I'm afraid we won't be happy to see us doing this."

Xiang Huaqiang didn't want to be an enemy of Bao Shaogang, let alone offend the Bao family because of Lin Daoqiu.

Although they have switched careers to do legitimate business, it does not mean that they have to give up the power in their hands.

In Xiangjiang, if you don't have something in your hand, sooner or later someone will eat it up and wipe it clean.

If they get into trouble with the Bao family, not only will they not be able to do legitimate business, but even their old business will be greatly affected.

Xiang Huasheng didn't know that buying shares in New Oriental would make Bao Shaogang unhappy, but he really couldn't think of any business that was safer than investing in New Oriental.

Faced with Xiang Huaqiang's worries, Xiang Huasheng suddenly asked him a question.

"Brother Ten, do you think Bao Shaogang's Baojia Cinemas can really beat Lin Daoqiu's New Oriental?"

Xiang Huaqiang never thought about this question, because it had nothing to do with him.

But now that Xiang Huasheng asked him this question, Xiang Huaqiang didn't even think about it, and he replied directly.

"What is the status of the Bao family in Xiangjiang? Even if Lin Daoqiu won Bao Shaogang ten or twenty times in the movie, so what. In the end, with the support of the Bao family, Bao Shaogang was still invincible. "

Xiang Huaqiang didn't think that Bao Shaogang was so powerful, but because the Bao family was too strong, Lin Daoqiu had no chance of winning at all.

"It's not just Brother Ten who thinks this way, I'm afraid everyone in Xiangjiang thinks the same as you."

Regarding Xiang Huasheng's words, Xiang Huaqiang was noncommittal, because anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

"If I say, I think Lin Daoqiu will win in the end, what does Brother Ten think?"

Xiang Huasheng's astonishing words startled Xiang Huaqiang.

Looking carefully at Xiang Huasheng, if he hadn't been with him all day today, Xiang Huaqiang even wondered if he just drank alcohol, which is why he said these words.

Lin Daoqiu can win Bao Shaogang only on the film level, but this is of no avail at all.

If Bao Shaogang is really desperate and uses the power of his family to deal with Lin Daoqiu at that time, it is unknown how long New Oriental can exist by then.

"I don't think Lin Daoqiu has this ability, Asheng, you are too optimistic."

Xiang Huaqiang excluded this possibility from his mind from the very beginning.

He really couldn't understand that Xiang Huasheng would have such an idea, and he even thought that anyone who would think this way was a lunatic.

"Okay Brother Ten, I can't convince you now, but I believe that Lin Daoqiu will surprise us soon."

The matter of changing careers is too involved, and it cannot be decided in a few words.

Although Xiang Huasheng couldn't convince Xiang Huaqiang, he always felt that Lin Daoqiu would definitely surprise those who were not optimistic about him.

…………

In early March, "Police Story" starring Jackie Chan will be officially released in New Oriental Cinemas.

After the Spring Festival, March is considered to be an off-season. There are no strong films released by Baojia Cinemas, and the same is true for New Oriental.

The publicity for several days has let everyone know that New Oriental will have such a movie to be released.

And recently, because of the popularity of "Student Police Attack", everyone has a lot of interest in police-themed movies.

Audiences who usually don't watch this type of movies very much buy tickets to enter the theater with a sense of face.

They want to see how "Police Story" is different from "Schools Out".

On the day of the premiere of "Police Story", all the leading actors appeared, and even Jackie Chan, who was filming in Hollywood, rushed back to attend the premiere.

Originally, he didn't plan to come back, because Jackie Chan wanted to concentrate on making "Red Fan District" well in Hollywood.

However, Lin Daoqiu made a special request on the phone to let him come back to attend the premiere. Jackie Chan had to stop his work and fly back to Xiangjiang.

"Brother Long, you used to shoot kung fu comedies in the early years of the Republic of China. How did you think of making a "Police Story"?"

Facing the reporter's question, Jackie Chan answered with a smile.

"Actually, I would like to thank Mr. Lin for his invitation. Without him, there would be no "Police Story"."

For this movie, Jackie Chan actually likes it very much. After filming the whole movie, he found it very enjoyable.

If it weren't for his eagerness to make a name for himself in Hollywood, I'm afraid Jackie Chan would calm down and make this movie better.

"Mr. Lin, how did you come up with the idea to invite Brother Long to film "Police Story"?"

Hearing the reporter's question, Lin Daoqiu turned his head and glanced at Jackie Chan beside him, and then answered with a smile.

"Actually, at the beginning, I considered many candidates, but in the end, after thinking about it, Jackie Chan was the most suitable for this film, because he dared not use a double to shoot those thrilling scenes. He was the only one in the whole Xiangjiang. can do it."

Lin Daoqiu's words are not touting Jackie Chan, but because this is the truth.

The synonym of Jackie Chan in the later generations is not needing a substitute. You must know that this is not something that just anyone can do.

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's praise, Jackie Chan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
