Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 931

"Jiahe is really deceiving people too much..."

Although the news of Li Yuanba's signing with Golden Harvest has not yet spread, Wu Siyuan has already known the news from inside Golden Harvest.

The last time they snatched Jackie Chan from him, Wu Siyuan didn't ask Jiahe to settle the score.

Unexpectedly, they would come up with such a trick again this time, which almost made Wu Siyuan very angry.

"Mr. Wu, Golden Harvest's style has always been like this. Who let them control a theater chain?"

The person who said this was Liao Bingxue, the owner of a film company in Baodao. He and Wu Siyuan were good friends.

Hearing what Liao Bingxue said, it was useless for Wu Siyuan to get angry, after all, what the other party said was indeed the truth.

Jiahe has a theater chain in his hands, so he doesn't need to look at anyone's face to act.

Even Lin Daoqiu had to ask Jiahe to join forces to deal with Dibao Cinemas.

I am just an independent filmmaker, and it is normal for Golden Harvest not to take my own seriously.

"I will never compromise. Li Yuanba's contract is still in my hands. If they dare to ask him to make a film, I will sue them."

It seems that Wu Siyuan is ready to completely turn against Jiahe.

But even though he said so, if he really did so, then the consequences at that time may not be something he can bear.

After all, if Wu Siyuan competes with Golden Harvest, the films he produces in the future cannot be shown in Golden Harvest.

And because the news that Golden Harvest and New Oriental are about to form a joint theater chain has spread, Wu Siyuan can only find Dibao Cinemas to cooperate with at that time.

Judging from Wu Siyuan's judgment on the future of Xiangjiang Films, the possibility of Di Bao winning against New Oriental does not seem to be very great.

Regardless of the fact that Di Bao has so many stars in his hands now, it seems that he is gaining momentum.

But in Wu Siyuan's view, no matter how many stars Di Bao has, there is one thing they will never be able to compare with New Oriental, and that is the ability of screenwriting.

Looking at the list of screenwriters owned by Di Bao Cinemas at this time, the old generals in New Art City are considered to be the strongest, and Sammo Hung also has people under him.

But even if all of them are added together, they are not as good as Lin Daoqiu, not to mention that Lin Daoqiu also has Mai Jia, Huang Baiming, Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui and Wang Jing under his command.

It can be said that in terms of screenwriting ability, New Oriental is definitely a level higher than Dibao Cinemas.

Not to mention that Lin Daoqiu can still make money in Hollywood, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Dibao Cinema to be Lin Daoqiu's opponent.

In Wu Siyuan's view, their failure was only a matter of time. If he went to the Dibao Cinemas now, he would be looking for a dead end. He is not that stupid.

"Brother Wu, in fact, in the past few years, the development momentum of Xiangjiang Films has been so strong, I don't know if you have thought about entering the theater."

Wu Siyuan was still thinking about New Oriental and Dibao, but he didn't expect Liao Bingxue to change the topic to a place he had never thought of before.

"Entry? Brother Liao, what does this mean?"

Wu Siyuan looked at the other party blankly, he didn't understand what Liao Bingxue's words meant.

Or it can be said that Wu Siyuan didn't dare to think about that place at all.

"To tell you the truth, Brother Wu, there are actually quite a few bosses in Baodao who think Xiangjiang's film market is very attractive, and they really want to invest here."

Among these people, Liao Bingxue is also one of them. After all, the box office performance of Xiangjiang Films in recent years is really impressive.

The film market on Baodao couldn't make much money, so everyone turned their attention to Xiangjiang.

If a theater chain can be established in Xiangjiang, it will not only earn the box office of Xiangjiang, but also sell movies to Baodao and other parts of Southeast Asia.

It's no wonder that these film dealers in Treasure Island have such thoughts. This is actually a very normal thing.

"Brother Liao means that you plan to open a theater here in Xiangjiang?"

Wu Siyuan has already heard the meaning of the other party's words, after all, he is not a fool.

And when he saw Liao Bingxue nodding with a smile, Wu Siyuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Xiangjiang's film market is dominated by three cinema chains. It might not be a good time to enter the theater at this time."

Wu Siyuan looked very calm. After all, judging from his understanding of the Xiangjiang film industry, it is very difficult to make money when entering theaters and opening theaters at this time.

"Brother Wu, don't worry, our funds are absolutely sufficient, and we don't expect to achieve results in a year or two. What we lack now is a leader, and this person is none other than Brother Wu."

Wu Siyuan is well-known in the Xiangjiang film circle, and these people in Baodao have taken a fancy to this, so they want him to be the leader.

In fact, Baodao's capital has always had the idea of ​​entering Xiangjiang, but it is a pity that they cannot squeeze in the three major cinema lines, otherwise they would not have approached Wu Siyuan.

If there was no matter about Li Yuanba, Wu Siyuan would not have considered this matter too seriously.

But being teased by Jiahe like this made it difficult for Wu Siyuan to calm down.

He felt that if he had a theater line in his hands, he would not have to look at the faces of those people in the future. Wouldn't that be a good thing?

"I need to think about this matter."

Wu Siyuan did not rush to agree to Liao Bingxue, but planned to think about it seriously, after all, this is not a trivial matter.

Moreover, Wu Siyuan himself had to invest money in building a theater chain. He didn't think that the capital of Treasure Island was willing to let himself go empty-handed.

…………

Lazily resting her arms on Lin Daoqiu's body, Brigitte Lin, who closed her eyes, didn't know what she dreamed of. At this moment, she had a faint smile on her face.

Because today is the weekend, Lin Daoqiu doesn't have to go to work in New Oriental, he can sleep in.

After a while, it seemed that someone was watching her, Brigitte Lin slowly opened her eyes.

"Um...why did you wake up so early?"

After Lin Qingxia finished speaking, she leaned her head towards Lin Daoqiu.

During the recent period, she usually went to Yuan's class, and she was doing special training every day.

Finally got a chance to sleep in, but Lin Daoqiu ruined it unexpectedly.

"I don't have to go to work today, so I got up early. What do you want for breakfast? I'll ask someone to buy it for you."

Lin Daoqiu spoke softly.

"Butter buns, siu mai, barbecued pork buns, shrimp dumplings and mandarin duck milk tea."

Having stayed in Xiangjiang for a long time, Brigitte Lin has become accustomed to the Hong Kong style breakfast here.

I have to say that the morning tea here really suits Lin Qingxia's appetite.

Thinking of those delicious breakfasts, her drowsiness has gradually disappeared.
