Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 925 Lianjia Kangdi
"Di Bao makes great efforts, Xiangjiang rises again!" "

"Di Bao is coming fiercely, New Oriental's hegemony is at stake! "

Spread out the newspaper and turn to the entertainment page, all of them are reporting about Di Bao.

It has to be said that Pan Disheng's press conference this time not only caused waves in the film industry.

Even ordinary citizens know that Dibao Cinemas will release three big-budget films during the Spring Festival next year.

Because Dibao Cinemas hadn't screened its own films before, everyone didn't have much impression of Dibao Cinemas.

But when the news broke out, Dibao Cinemas immediately became a hot topic in Xiangjiang, and everyone was looking forward to it.

After all, judging from the star lineup displayed by Di Bao Cinemas at this time, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao, Xu Guanwen himself, and the old general of New Art City.

For the general audience, the most anticipated must be the two films of Sammo Hung and the others and Xu Guanwen.

As for Shi Tian's new film, the audience's expectations are far lower than the other two.

However, as long as the standard of the other two new films is high enough, they will attract a large number of audiences to watch.

At that time, they can take advantage of Sammo Hung and Xu Guanwen to attract more audiences.

And there is one thing that Pan Disheng didn't say at the press conference, that is, Dibao Cinemas will join hands with Golden Harvest Cinemas.

As for what their purpose is for doing this, I believe everyone already knows it well.

Putting the opened newspaper back on the table, Lin Daoqiu briefly read the report on Pan Disheng's press conference.

However, judging from his expression, Lin Daoqiu didn't seem to be angry or dissatisfied.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu looked very calm, as if he was really just watching ordinary news.

Lin Daoqiu didn't think there was any problem with Pan Disheng's actions, he even thought it was a very normal thing.

But even so, Lin Daoqiu didn't really relax his vigilance. If he really didn't do anything, he would definitely lose badly by then.

Lin Daoqiu is not yet conceited enough to feel that he doesn't need to do anything to easily win next year's Spring Festival.

"Best Partner 3" is already being filmed, for Mai Jia and Huang Baiming, this is their most successful work right now.

Although the box office of "Best Partner 3" may not be as good as expected, Lin Daoqiu obviously will not take the risk and ask them to switch to another work.

As for whether Lin Zhengying's "Mr. Zombie 3" will be released as scheduled, Lin Daoqiu really has no way to predict.

Because the previous two plays were written by himself, but this time Lin Daoqiu handed over the whole play to Lin Zhengying.

I heard that Lin Daoqiu approached Liu Guanwei to discuss the script of "Mr. Zombie 3", and also planned to hand over the director of this play to him.

Lin Daoqiu vaguely remembered that "Mr. Zombie" seemed to be the work of Liu Guanwei, and now Lin Zhengying was looking for him, which was considered a very correct choice.

However, Lin Zhengying has already filmed the first two "Mr. Zombie", Lin Daoqiu is really curious about what Liu Guanwei will do.

And compared to "Best Partner", because of Lin Zhengying's relationship in the past two years, there have been a large number of zombie movies and trends.

Some small or unknown film companies came together to follow suit and produced a lot of zombie films.

Although Lin Zhengying couldn't be found, they found the other supporting roles in "Mr. Zombie", even the extras.

Zhong Fa, Chen You, Xu Guanying, Lou Nanguang, Wu Ma, He Jiajin, these people have all been asked to act in zombie movies that follow the trend.

However, most of them didn't get any great box office, and only a few films sold several million, which was considered to have made a fortune for those film studios who followed suit.

But as a result of their doing so, the audience's interest in zombie films is no longer as great as before.

Moreover, the low-cost and low-level imitation, no matter how you look at it, is incomparable with "Mr. Zombie".

But because "Mr. Zombie" can be shot at most once a year, but those guys can make one in a month.

Not only is the cost far lower than "Mr. Zombie", but the shooting time is very short.

For the purpose of making money, they can be said to be destroying the foundation of Xiangjiang movies, but no one realizes this at this time.

In the past two years, Xiangjiang movies have become more and more serious about following the trend. If it continues like this, it will definitely be a huge harm to Xiangjiang movies.

If Lin Daoqiu is still the owner of Xiangjiang Cinemas, he can do it so that those places that follow suit have no place to show it.

And he can also find a way to restrain those film companies, and tell them clearly that they don't want to make money with this kind of follow-up routine.

But it is a pity that now Lin Daoqiu only has a theater chain in New Oriental. What he can do is to prevent those follow-up movies from being released in New Oriental.

However, for Lin Daoqiu, Golden Harvest and Dibao Cinemas were beyond his reach.

For Lin Daoqiu, the problem now comes back to the integration of Xiangjiang's theater chains one day earlier, but it is almost impossible to do this now.

"Maybe you can try it."

Lin Daoqiu suddenly muttered to himself.

…………

During the recent period, Jiahe's situation has been tepid.

At this time, Dibao was in the limelight, and everyone was paying attention to the battle between Dibao and New Oriental. As for Golden Harvest, it can be said that no one cares about it.

Except for encountering such a situation in the early days of starting a business, He Guanchang has not encountered such a situation for a long time.

And when He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai were thinking hard about how to get Jiahe out of the predicament, he suddenly received a call from Lin Daoqiu to invite him to drink tea.

He Guanchang himself couldn't believe that Lin Daoqiu would call him at this time. Apart from accidents, He Guanchang was more confused.

An idea suddenly popped up in Zou Wenhuai's mind.

"You said that Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked you to drink tea. Could it be that he wants to cooperate with us?"

After all, there are many stars on Di Bao's side, and although New Oriental also has many well-known actors, they are still a little bit worse in comparison.

If Jackie Chan hadn't gone to help Di Bao film, then next year's Spring Festival, Zou Wenhuai is obviously more optimistic about New Oriental.

But after losing such a big advantage as Jackie Chan, the balance of victory and defeat has now come to Di Bao's side.

If Lin Daoqiu wants to make a difference in next year's Spring Festival, one of the ways is to form a joint theater chain with Golden Harvest, which can greatly increase his chances of winning.
