Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 895 Too Idealistic

Different from others, Pan Disheng went to meet with Lin Daoqiu after carefully investigating Lin Daoqiu.

Although it can't be said that he knows Lin Daoqiu well, from the analysis of the information found, Pan Disheng can still guess part of Lin Daoqiu's character.

If he really follows what Sammo Hung said, and form a new theater chain with Golden Harvest.

At that time, the situation will go back to a year ago, when Baojia Cinemas and New Oriental confronted each other. This is not what Pan Disheng likes to see.

"Mr. Pan, if we don't form a new theater chain with Golden Harvest, our film sources will not be guaranteed."

This is what Sammo Hung is most worried about now.

Although there are a lot of Dibao theaters, but they keep showing old movies, and they can't attract the audience at all.

Moreover, the quality of the films made by those independent producers is uneven. If things go on like this, it will have a great impact on Dibao Cinemas.

"Mr. Hong doesn't need to worry about this at all."

Pan Disheng was not worried about this matter, it seemed that he had already thought of a solution to the problem.

Sammo Hung was very puzzled by this, he wondered where Pan Desheng could find so many new films to show?
"We don't form a theater chain with Golden Harvest. Although it seems inappropriate, at the same time, we can bring Golden Harvest and New Oriental's movies together."

Pan Disheng's idea was wonderful. He felt that if he didn't form a theater chain with Golden Harvest, he could get Lin Daoqiu's understanding.

At that time, not only can we cooperate with Golden Harvest, but also cooperate with New Oriental to create a win-win situation.

But unfortunately, after Pan Disheng finished speaking, Sammo Hung couldn't help shaking his head.

He felt that Pan Disheng was a little too naive. He transferred his thinking in the shopping mall to the movie circle, and even applied it to Lin Daoqiu.

"What's the matter? Does Mr. Hong think my proposal is not good?"

Pan Disheng felt very strange, he didn't understand why Sammo Hung didn't seem to agree with his thoughts.

"Do you think Mr. Lin will agree to show their new film in Dibao theaters?"

Regarding Sammo Hung's doubts, Pan Disheng nodded directly, looking very confident.

At this time, Sammo Hung suddenly felt a sense of regret. He felt that he should not have left New Oriental and chose to cooperate with Pan Disheng.

This guy is simply an idealist, thinking that as long as it is logical, everything is so natural.

I just had a meal at Lin Daoqiu's side, but I didn't expect that he didn't have a long memory.

Sammo Hung couldn't help but said.

"Mr. Lin will not agree to show New Oriental's movies in Dibao Cinemas."

Pan Disheng looked at Sammo Hung puzzled, he didn't understand why Sammo Hung said that.

"Does Mr. Pan think that Lin Daoqiu's bringing New Oriental's movies to Dibao Cinemas will not do any harm to them at all, and they can also get a lot of income?"

Sammo Hung had already guessed what Pan Desheng was thinking.

Pan Disheng really thought so.

"Is there anything wrong with that? I don't think Mr Lim would turn down an offer that would do him no harm."

It seems that Pan Disheng is still too young, or he knows too little about the film industry.

"Mr. Pan, do you think Mr. Lin will help Dibao Cinemas grow?"

Pan Disheng was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to gradually understand what Sammo Hung wanted to express.

"Bringing New Oriental's new film to Dibao will indeed bring a lot of income to New Oriental, but at the same time, it will also help Dibao become famous. If I were Mr. Lin, I would never agree to this request."

After Sammo Hung finished speaking, Pan Disheng slowly realized that he seemed to have taken it for granted.

In the eyes of businessmen, making money is their top priority, and no one will have trouble with money.

But in the film circle, at least on Lin Daoqiu's side, helping Dibao develop is tantamount to digging a hole for himself.

Lin Daoqiu has no reason or need to create a powerful enemy for himself for a little money.

"Could it be that we can only form a new theater chain with Golden Harvest now?"

This was one of the last options in Pan Disheng's previous plan, and it was also the worst option.

Sammo Hung nodded.

"Other than that, I really can't think of any other way."

Before coming to see Lin Daoqiu, Pan Disheng thought that everything was under his control.

It should not be difficult to convince Lin Daoqiu to join Xiangjiang Cinemas.

However, from Lin Daoqiu's order to evict the guests until he finished talking with Sammo Hung, Pan Disheng realized that he seemed to be thinking about things simply.

"Doesn't Mr. Lin really care about the money? What if I pay seven or three points?"

Pan Disheng still didn't want to give up just like this, he could even increase Lin Daoqiu's share.

Sammo Hung did not expect Pan Disheng to be quite generous, willing to give New Oriental [-]% of the share.

But even so, Sammo Hung didn't think that Lin Daoqiu would agree to show New Oriental's new film in Di Bao Cinemas.

"Mr. Lin can earn about [-] to [-] million US dollars by making a film in Hollywood. Does Mr. Pan think he cares about these cuts?"

This matter is almost well-known in the film industry, and when Pan Disheng heard this, the expression on his face became very embarrassed.

…………

"Boss, you rejected Pan Disheng, I guess he might go to Golden Harvest to form a new theater chain."

After Pan Disheng left, Fang Jinsheng and Lin Daoqiu chatted about it.

"If he doesn't know my attitude, maybe he won't do it for a while."

Lin Daoqiu didn't think that Pan Disheng would be so impatient, he should come to him to try a few more times.

He didn't go to form a new theater with Golden Harvest until he was rejected a lot by himself and realized that there was nothing he could do.

"Pan Disheng is too idealistic. It's a pity that this is the film industry, and his previous experience is useless here."

If it is business, Pan Disheng can be said to be a very successful businessman, otherwise he would not be known as the brand king.

But now that Pan Disheng has turned to invest in the theater business, the way of doing this is much more complicated than those businesses he did before.

"By the way, you fly to Baodao tomorrow to meet Jackie Chan and have a chat with him."

Kowloon Cinemas was sold to Pan Disheng, and Sammo Hung was poached by the other party. If Lin Daoqiu did nothing, it would be a bit out of character for him.

Originally, he didn't intend to go to Jackie Chan, but now it seems that if he doesn't do this, it seems that Jiahe is a bit too cheap.

Moreover, poaching Jackie Chan here is tantamount to weakening Jiahe's strength in disguise.

From time to time, Lin Daoqiu can get a lot of benefits from Jackie Chan.
