Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 942
Wu Siyuan has been worrying about one thing for the past few days.

Before that, Wu Siyuan didn't even dare to think about pulling out a theater chain.

But now, as long as he nods his head, he can become the owner of a theater chain, and the proportion of shares in it will not be low.

It is absolutely impossible to say that Wu Siyuan has never thought about opening a cinema.

But because he is single and weak, even though he is well-known in Xiangjiang, he dare not end easily.

On this day, Wu Siyuan invited screenwriter Tong Lu out for tea. The other party has been with him for 9 years and is a screenwriter Wu Siyuan trusts.

"Boss, why do you look so sad? Are you still annoyed by that guy Li Yuanba?"

Seeing Wu Siyuan sitting down, Tong Lu frowned unconsciously, thinking that the other party was still annoyed about Li Yuanba.

After all, the news just came out yesterday that New Oriental would cooperate with Golden Harvest in a movie, and Li Yuanba would be the leading actor. Tong Lu thought Wu Siyuan was angry about this matter.

"That's not true. Put aside the matter of Li Yuanba for the time being. If there is a chance, I will definitely not let him go."

Wu Siyuan seemed very annoyed at Li Yuanba's rebellious character, after all, he was promoted by himself.

In the end, this guy retaliated with kindness, first he instigated others to almost take his own life, and then he switched to Jiahe. It was strange that Wu Siyuan had a good opinion of him.

"Boss, listen to what you said. Could it be that you are still worrying about other things?"

Tong Lu felt very strange, apart from Li Yuanba's matter, what else could make Wu Siyuan so distressed?
After Tong Lu finished asking, Wu Siyuan looked around and whispered to him.

"The boss on Treasure Island plans to open a theater in Xiangjiang, and wants to cooperate with me."

Hearing Wu Siyuan's words, Tong Lu's eyes widened. The news was really explosive.

It's no wonder Wu Siyuan is so distressed, if it were him, he wouldn't even dare to think about such a thing.

"Boss, right now Xiangjiang theaters are fighting with each other. Although Di Bao looks strong, I think it will be difficult for them to beat the combined theaters of New Oriental and Golden Harvest."

Don't look at Dibao's momentum now, it's all because they just opened their doors.

If next year's Spring Festival stalls fail to win Lin Daoqiu's joint theater chain, Di Bao's momentum will plummet by then, and it will cause internal turmoil.

"What do you mean by that?"

Wu Siyuan didn't understand why Tong Lu said that, and what did the fight between them have to do with him.

"Boss, if Lin Daoqiu and the others win by then, do you think there is still room for us in Xiangjiang?"

After Tong Lu finished speaking, Wu Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he became more and more nervous as he thought about it, and he couldn't help but start to break out in a cold sweat.

"Since there is such a good opportunity now, I think you should agree to it, and then form a joint theater with Di Bao. If you win, you don't need to be so angry, but if you lose, the result will not be as good as it is now. Not bad."

The more Wu Siyuan listened, the more he felt that Tong Lu's words made sense, so he nodded as he listened.

Originally, Wu Siyuan invited Tong Lu out for tea today just to understand and relieve boredom, but he didn't expect to get such useful advice from him.

The more Wu Siyuan looked at Tong Lu, the more he felt that this guy was a genius. If he had asked his opinion earlier, he might have avoided some detours.

Seeing Wu Siyuan's deeply appreciative expression, Tong Lu guessed that Wu Siyuan had listened to his words.

Now that he has decided to pull out a theater, Wu Siyuan has no way to continue drinking tea here, he got up and said.

"I'll go back and prepare it. We'll drink this tea another day."

After Wu Siyuan finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Not long after he left, someone suddenly took Wu Siyuan's seat.

"Thank you, Screenwriter Tong, for your help. Small things don't count as respect."

Liao Bingxue pushed a thick kraft paper bag in front of Tong Lu. After Tong Lu took it, he opened the kraft paper bag in front of Liao Bingxue, and took a look inside.

When he saw clearly the colorful banknotes inside, a satisfied smile appeared on Tong Lu's face.

"Actually, the boss is just hesitant. After explaining the truth clearly, he can make a decision."

For Tong Lu, Wu Siyuan's pulling out a theater chain is absolutely beneficial and harmless.

And after the proposal just now, I believe that my position in Wu Siyuan's heart will be greatly improved in the future, and maybe I can be the general manager of a theater chain at that time.

…………

A week later, a shocking piece of news suddenly appeared on the entertainment pages of all newspapers in Xiangjiang.

The fourth cinema chain in Xiangjiang, Far EasTone Cinemas, was formally established. It owns [-] large and small theaters. The owner of Chenggong Cinemas is Wu Siyuan.

Regarding this sudden news, it can be said that the film industry did not have any signs before this.

When Lin Daoqiu received the news of the establishment of the successful theater chain, he was also very shocked.

Because Lin Daoqiu remembered that it was after 2000 that Wu Siyuan opened theaters. Why would he come out to disrupt the situation at this time?

And Lin Daoqiu was very skeptical, how could Wu Siyuan have the ability to open a theater chain with [-] theaters, if there is no financial backer behind him, Lin Daoqiu would not believe that Wu Siyuan would dare to play like this if he killed Lin Daoqiu.

"Zhidong, go and make a call with Maowen, and ask him to send someone to investigate, who is the financial backer of the theater behind Wu Siyuan?"

What Lin Daoqiu wanted to know was who was so kind and invested such a large sum of money in Wu Siyuan to let him in to disrupt the situation.

You must know that Wu Siyuan has already settled with himself and Jiahe because of Li Yuanba's matter.

Lin Daoqiu didn't think that Wu Siyuan would join their United Cinemas, he was most likely to go to cooperate with Dibao Cinemas.

Originally, I wanted to rely on the number of theaters to overwhelm Di Bao, and then stabilize them at the box office.

But now because of Wu Siyuan's relationship, the number of theaters on both sides is almost the same. Lin Daoqiu's previous efforts have been greatly discounted because of Wu Siyuan's relationship.

On the other side, Pan Disheng and others were overjoyed after seeing the news.

After all, Wu Siyuan's affair with Jiahe and Lin Daoqiu is well known in the movie circle.

It is impossible for Wu Siyuan to find Lin Daoqiu and the others to cooperate, so his only ally now is Di Bao.

"Boss Wu, I'm Dibao's Pan Disheng, congratulations, are you free tomorrow? I'd like to invite you to have a cup of tea and chat."
