Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 841 "Teppanyaki" VS "Best Partner"

As Lin Daoqiu expected.

The next day, when the report of Lin Daoqiu's interview was published in the newspaper.

Zou Wenhuai took the newspaper early in the morning and read it for 5 minutes.

"These reporters don't know where they heard the news, and they know random reports all day long."

It seems that Zou Wenhuai seems to be very concerned about the news that Bao Shaogang is about to sell the Kowloon Cinemas.

After all, Jiahe and Bao Shaogang are like grasshoppers on the same rope.

If the other party wants to jump ship, then they will probably be alone.

There is no way for the two companies to win Lin Daoqiu together.

If only their family is left by then, wouldn't they be in a situation waiting to die.

"Where there is no wind, there is no wave. I think these reporters must have received the news to ask this question."

Compared with Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang felt that these reporters must have a basis for asking such questions.

Because even he noticed that Bao Shaogang didn't seem to care much about the business of Baojia Cinemas recently.

If it weren't for the fact that "Teppanyaki" was promoted by him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have shown up at that time.

"You mean to say that Bao Shaogang really plans to sell Kowloon Cinemas?"

Zou Wenhuai actually had this thought in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

But now even He Guanchang can feel it, and Zou Wenhuai doesn't need to hide it anymore.

"Compared with the previous Xiangjiang Cinemas, the revenue of Baojia Cinemas has been reduced by half. On the other hand, the films produced by New Oriental have repeatedly achieved good results at the box office."

Shaking his head, He Guanchang couldn't help but sighed and said, "If I knew this earlier, I might as well have cooperated with Lin Daoqiu back then."

Although He Guanchang said so, even if he knew that the revenue of Baojia Cinemas would decrease, he would still choose to cooperate with Bao Shaogang.

Not for anything else, just because Bao Shaogang stands behind the Bao family, and Bao Shaogang is also one of the future heirs of the Bao family.

In the face of these conditions, Lin Daoqiu's talent is really insignificant to Jiahe.

Even in He Guanchang's view, compared with Bao Shaogang, Lin Daoqiu is in the sky while the other is in the ground.

So what he said now is actually just complaining, it doesn't mean that he really has such thoughts.

"Why don't we ask Baoshao to come out and meet and have a chat?"

Zou Wenhuai feels that this matter cannot be dragged on like this forever.

They had to find out what Bao Shaogang was thinking before he made a decision.

"If Bao Shaogang really wants to sell Kowloon Cinemas, we must buy it ahead of Lin Daoqiu."

Regarding this point, He Guanchang seems to be very persistent.

If Lin Daoqiu buys the Kowloon Cinemas at that time, then Golden Harvest will have already stepped into the coffin.

"Don't worry, based on our relationship with Bao Shaogang, if he really wants to sell Kowloon Cinemas, he will definitely give priority to us."

How to say Bao Shaogang's dislike of Lin Daoqiu is almost a well-known thing.

If Golden Harvest was able to offer a price that was not much lower than Lin Daoqiu's in terms of price.

Zou Wenhuai believes that Bao Shaogang would be more willing to sell Kowloon Cinemas to them than Lin Daoqiu.

"But today is the New Year's Eve, and I'm worried that asking Bao Shaogang to meet is not so easy."

For Chinese New Year, almost all company lines are on vacation.

That is to say, these film companies have to deal with business during the Chinese New Year.

After all, after the Spring Festival stalls were born, after everyone had the reunion dinner, many people would come out to go shopping and play.

Going to the theater to watch movies is one of the entertainment options that many people will choose.

"Contact him tomorrow, and use the first-day box office of "Teppanyaki" as an excuse to find out what he thinks."

…………

On the day of the New Year's Eve, the Spring Festival stalls officially kicked off.

New Oriental is releasing the sequel of "Best Partner", while Baojia Cinemas is releasing "Teppanyaki".

Before these two dramas, it can be said that the propaganda war has already been in full swing.

After the premiere of "Best Partner" received a lot of praise, this added to the confidence of Mai Jia and others.

On the other hand, for "Teppanyaki", after the screening, except for Bao Shaogang, others were not too optimistic about Xu Guanwen's transformation of this drama.

"Dad, I want to watch Xu Guanwen's new movie "Teppanyaki"..."

"The sequel of "Best Partner" 2 has Brigitte Lin, mom, I want to watch "Best Partner"..."

In the evening, after the reunion dinner, many people come out of their homes to play outside.

When passing outside the theaters of New Oriental or Baojia Cinemas, the posters posted outside can attract many people to stop.

Both "Best Partner" and "Teppanyaki" are supported by many people, and everyone has high expectations for these two dramas.

"You said "Best Partner" won the box office of "Teppanyaki"?"

Zhong Chuhong went back to have a reunion dinner with her family, and Guan Zhilin also flew to Baodao a few days earlier to celebrate the Spring Festival with her family.

So Lin Daoqiu ate this year's New Year's Eve dinner with Brigitte Lin,
For this reunion dinner, Lin Daoqiu specially made a hot pot, intending to taste it slowly with Brigitte Lin.

Regarding Lin Qingxia's question, Lin Daoqiu just smiled, then picked up a piece of beef and put it in the hot pot to boil.

"You have to have confidence in yourself, and even if you don't, you should have confidence in me."

There was a strong confidence in Lin Daoqiu's words, it seemed that he didn't think he would lose to Xu Guanwen.

Although Lin Qingxia didn't know why Lin Daoqiu was so confident.

But she believes that Lin Daoqiu is not the kind of blind and arrogant person, he must have his own basis.

"According to people who have watched "Teppanyaki", this drama is Xu Guanwen's transformational work, which is quite different from his previous image."

Regarding Xu Guanwen's previous roles in movies, it can be said that almost most of them are ordinary citizens who appear as stingy, bitter, and mean.

In addition to the two brothers Xu Guanjie and Xu Guanying, the cooperation of the three of them can be said to be seamless.

But this time Xu Guanwen single-handedly made this "Teppanyaki", and also abandoned his previous classic image.

Without so many successful factors, if this film can still be recognized by the audience, it can only prove one thing.

"If "Teppanyaki" can win "Best Partner" this time, then I have to consider following suit."

"Don't underestimate him, Xu Guanwen is Xiangjiang's comedy master, even if you lose this time, it's actually quite normal."

Brigitte Lin didn't know that Lin Daoqiu took this competition too seriously.

She worried that if "Teppanyaki" really won "Best Partner" by then, Lin Daoqiu would definitely be hit hard.

　Thank you, the emperor of the Zhou family for your monthly pass!mwah! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
