Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 934

"Chen Xunqi was poached by Lin Daoqiu? How is this possible?"

After Cen Jianxun heard the report from his subordinates, he immediately frowned.

He had never heard of Lin Daoqiu's thoughts on Chen Xunqi before, and there was no warning at all.

Sammo Hung also had a very surprised expression on this. Others may not know it, but Sammo Hung still admires Chen Xunqi very much.

He had thought about looking for cooperation with the other party before, but unfortunately, he never had a suitable opportunity.

Originally, he wanted to invite Chen Xunqi to Di Bao's side to add some help to Di Bao, but he didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to take the lead.

"Chen Xunqi can be said to be an all-rounder in civil and military affairs. It's a pity that he couldn't be recruited. If I knew it earlier, I would have personally invited him."

Sammo Hung felt a little regretful, if he had known earlier, he would have gone to find Chen Xunqi first and invited him to join Di Bao.

"Forget it, don't mention him, let's focus on our new play."

Sammo Hung shook his hand. Since Chen Xunqi had voted for Lin Daoqiu, he was no longer someone they could miss.

Now there is not much time left for next year's Spring Festival, so they have to speed up the progress and shoot new movies.

"The venue is being repaired. I have asked people to speed up the progress. It is estimated that the crew will be able to move in next week."

Regarding the new play of Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and Jackie Chan, it can be said that it is the most important thing for Di Bao now.

And this time, the screenwriters of the new drama have gathered the two queen screenwriters of Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan, Deng Jingsheng and Huang Bingyao.

The new play written by them is called "Project A", which tells the story of Xiangjiang police fighting pirates in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

The drama of the previous life was supposed to be released at the end of December, but because of Lin Daoqiu's butterfly effect, the drama has not entered the shooting stage until now.

Originally the protagonist of this drama was Jackie Chan, but now Sammo Hung plays the protagonist Ma Ruhong.

And Sammo Hung's role was replaced by Jackie Chan, while Yuen Biao still played Hong Tianci.

"Although "Best Partner" has always maintained a box office of more than 3000 million, but I think they can't play any new tricks for the third part."

In the eyes of Sammo Hung and Cen Kin-hsun, "Plan A" has only one target, and that is Maika's "Best Partner".

After all, "Mr. Zombie" does not fit the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year. Lin Daoqiu should not let "Mr. Zombie" be released during the Spring Festival.

So what is certain is that "Best Partner" will be their biggest opponent at that time.

In this year's Spring Festival, although this drama won the "Teppanyaki" by Xu Guanwen, both Sammo Hung and Cen Jianxun agreed that the box office of the "Best Partner" series has reached its peak.

After all, Brigitte Lin was used as a cameo this year, and it was still chosen to be released during the Spring Festival. It is no wonder that "Best Partner" can continue to get such a good box office.

"I think the gimmick of "Best Partner" is just like that. The audience definitely wants to see something new, and "Project A" will definitely steal the limelight."

Cen Jianxun is very optimistic about "Plan A", which can be said to coincide with Sammo Hung.

After all, the three brothers are the most popular martial arts stars in Xiangjiang, and they are also the most popular martial arts stars at the box office, so how could they be inferior to Mai Jia and the others.

"If Golden Harvest hadn't suddenly gone to form a joint theater chain with New Oriental, we still have a good chance of winning during the Spring Festival this year."

Thinking of this incident, Sammo Hung felt very depressed.

Lin Daoqiu was already difficult to deal with, and now Jiahe went to join forces with Lin Daoqiu, which undoubtedly made Dibao Cinemas even worse.

This is completely different from Sammo Hung's original idea, because he thought that Golden Harvest would definitely choose to join forces with Di Bao.

After all, Golden Harvest and New Oriental have been fighting for such a long time, and they didn't expect such an outburst.

But it's too late to say these things now, Sammo Hung and the others can only do everything possible to get a good result in next year's Spring Festival, and help Dibao Cinemas get a head start.

Only in this way can Dibao gain a firm foothold in Xiangjiang's film industry and attract more people to join them.

…………

There is no impenetrable wall in this world, especially in Xiangjiang's movie circle, if Lin Daoqiu wants to know something, he can't hide it from him for a long time.

Not long after Di Bao's new play "Project A" came out, Lin Daoqiu's ears had already been heard.

When he learned that Ma Rulong was replaced by Sammo Hung, the expression on Lin Daoqiu's face looked a little strange.

In the previous life, Jackie Chan's performance in "Project A" almost killed him, but now that the protagonist is replaced by Sammo Hung, Lin Daoqiu at least doesn't need to worry too much.

After all, compared with Jackie Chan, it is impossible for Sammo Hung's movies to engage in those life-threatening action scenes, and he is not a star who uses this as a selling point.

Lin Daoqiu remembered that in "Project A", Jackie Chan had many brilliant performances, and he didn't know what this drama would be like if the protagonist was replaced by Sammo Hung this time.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. He is here."

"Please come in."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he stood up from the chair, then went around the desk to meet He Guanchang.

Lin Daoqiu hadn't mentioned Chen Xunqi's matter to He Guanchang yet, so the other party probably didn't come here for this matter.

"Mr. Lin, excuse me."

He Guanchang came in from the outside with a smile, and it was obvious that he had a beaming expression on his face at this moment, and one could tell that he was in good spirits on happy occasions.

"Mr. He is polite, please sit here."

Lin Daoqiu invited He Guanchang to sit on the sofa.

After asking Sun Zhidong to pour tea for the other party, He Guanchang said.

"I took the liberty to visit today because I want to ask Mr. Lin, how is the new play going?"

Now that it is about to form a joint theater chain with Lin Daoqiu, Golden Harvest, who originally had no plans for next year's Spring Festival, will suddenly start to make efforts.

Launching Li Yuanba's new play during the Spring Festival will not only get a good box office, but also help him gain fame, which is a double-win for Golden Harvest.

It's no wonder that He Guanchang came to the door in such a hurry, wanting Lin Daoqiu to quickly get the script out.

"Mr. He, don't worry, I'm starting to prepare for the new play, and the results will probably come out in a few days."

Lin Daoqiu had just finished talking with Chen Xunqi, and it would take at least two days before he could call him over to talk about the new play.

He Guanchang didn't know Lin Daoqiu's thoughts, he thought that Lin Daoqiu had already started writing the script, and he should be able to finish it in a few days.

"In that case, I will wait for the good news from Mr. Lin."

He Guanchang seemed to be smiling happily, and he didn't know what kind of expression he would have when he knew the truth of the matter.
