Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 947 Threat to Success
Exactly as Lin Daoqiu guessed, the news came out the day after Liao Bingxue went to New Oriental.

"Sing Tao Daily" and "Oriental Daily" and some small newspapers got the news from unknown sources, and made a big fuss about Liao Bing's learning from New Oriental.

Tell the story clearly, as if their people were there, watching how Li Maowen and Liao Bingxue talked.

In short, the final conclusions of several newspapers are very simple. Success Cinemas is going to join Xiangjiang Cinemas and become a part of it.

Looking at the newspaper on the table, Pan Disheng frowned all morning. He never thought that Liao Bingxue could do such a thing.

"Mr. Pan, I think Liao Bingxue did this just to threaten us. Wu Siyuan will never join Xiangjiang Cinemas."

Cen Jianxun was quite sure about this point. After all, Wu Siyuan had just had such a big conflict with Golden Harvest, how could he be willing to let Chenggong Cinemas join Lin Daoqiu and their Xiangjiang Cinemas.

If he can really do such a thing, Cen Jianxun will really look at Wu Siyuan with admiration, which is comparable to Han Xin being humiliated by his crotch.

"What if Chenggong Cinemas really joins Xiangjiang Cinemas?"

Pan Disheng asked Cen Jianxun back.

Now, although everyone knows that it is impossible, if the successful theaters really do this, how will Di Bao deal with himself?

One against three?Pan Disheng asked himself that he didn't have that much ability, and he could fight against the siege of the three major theaters in Xiangjiang by himself.

And regardless of whether they can withstand it, there may be a big problem with the usual income of Dibao Cinemas.

In addition to relying on the movies made by its stars, most of them still rely on the contributions of some independent producers to maintain the normal operation of the theater chain.

Lin Daoqiu absorbed the stars of Shaw Brothers and set up a system similar to a large studio, which barely prevented New Oriental from being limited by the source of the film.

If Chenggong Cinemas really joins Xiangjiang Cinemas at that time, it will definitely attract a large number of independent producers to show their films to Xiangjiang Cinemas.

At that time, the movies that Lin Daoqiu and the others don't want will be screened in Dibao theaters. This is tantamount to eating Lin Daoqiu's leftovers.

Cen Jianxun didn't know how to answer Pan Disheng's words, because although he was very sure that the successful cinemas would definitely not join the Xiangjiang cinemas, this was just his guess.

He didn't even dare to say that it was [-]% impossible. Now he just said that the possibility is not too great, but it doesn't mean that there is no such possibility.

"Do you really want to promise them and give them the overseas agency rights of United Cinemas?"

Cen Jianxun is very clear about what Liao Bingxue wants, but once the overseas agency rights are handed over to them, it will be a big hidden danger for Dibao Cinemas.

"It's only one year. As long as we beat Xiangjiang Cinemas in the Lunar New Year file after the Chinese New Year, then next year we will get back the overseas agency rights."

Pan Disheng thought very simply, he only wanted to defeat Lin Daoqiu and the others first, and only after this matter was over, did he think about other things.

Hearing what Pan Disheng said, Cen Jianxun lost his mind. He turned to look at Sammo Hung next to him, wondering if he had anything to say.

"Mr. Pan is right. The most important thing for Dibao now is to make a head start. Let them represent the overseas agency for one year first, and we will take it back next year."

Sammo Hung clearly remembered that at that time, Liao Bingxue said that one year would be the deadline, and if Pan Disheng and the others were not satisfied, they would take back the overseas agency right.

Now that Liao Bingxue has said so, Sammo Hung feels that when the time comes, they will have no second thoughts about taking back the overseas agency rights.

"Since both of you have no objections, I'll call Wu Siyuan right away."

Cen Jianxun was the one who opposed it the most, but now he has no one around him to support him, so he didn't continue to persevere.

…………

"Mr. Pan really speaks quickly, so this matter is settled."

After Wu Siyuan received Pan Disheng's call, a happy smile appeared on his face.

Because the other party has agreed to let them be responsible for the overseas agency rights of United Cinemas for one year.

The last obstacle has been cleared away, and the formation of the United Cinemas will be a matter of course.

As for Wu Siyuan, as long as he doesn't have to join Xiangjiang Cinemas, he is already very satisfied.

Two weeks after the resumption of trading in Xiangjiang Cinemas, Dibao Cinemas joined forces with Chenggong Cinemas to form the second joint cinema in Xiangjiang called Baocheng Cinemas.

Judging from the number of theaters, Xiangjiang Cinemas still has nearly ten more theaters than Baocheng Cinemas, and most of the theaters are located in the downtown area.

On the other hand, Baocheng Cinemas, apart from Dibao’s theaters with good locations, only four theaters in Chenggong Cinemas have good locations, and the other ten theaters are just so-so.

Not long after Lin Daoqiu left Xiangjiang, he went to Thailand to film. Unexpectedly, Pan Disheng and the others set up a Baocheng cinema chain to fight against them during this period.

All of a sudden, the Xiangjiang film circle can be said to have returned to that turbulent stage.

Although the vast majority of people are optimistic that Xiangjiang Cinemas can restore its glory, there are also some people who support Baocheng Cinemas and are optimistic that they can beat Xiangjiang Cinemas.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu, the leading actor in the incident, was lying on the sofa basking in the sun, as if what happened in Xiangjiang had nothing to do with him at all.

"Aqiu, don't tell me you don't care about Baocheng Cinemas at all."

For two weeks of high-intensity filming, Lin Daoqiu gave the crew a day off. After all, work and rest must be taken care of, and Brigitte Lin must be taken care of so that she cannot be overworked.

But even if she was free, Lin Qingxia couldn't completely relax, because she already knew about Baocheng Cinemas.

"As soon as the successful theaters came out, I knew that Wu Siyuan would definitely join forces with Pan Disheng. Since it is something that will definitely happen, I have nothing to worry about."

Lin Daoqiu looked very relaxed. It seemed that he didn't pay attention to Baocheng Cinemas at all.

"It is said that Baocheng Cinemas has bet all their treasures on next year's Spring Festival. Maijia and the others are under a lot of pressure."

"Plan A" versus "Best Partner 3" Judging from the freshness of the movie and the appeal of the stars, it is obvious that "Plan A" has the upper hand.

Even if Lin Daoqiu were to choose, he would still choose to watch "Plan A".

What he was curious about was that when the main character Jackie Chan was replaced by Sammo Hung, what would "Plan A" be like? This is really a curious thing.

"Hey... I'm talking to you, why are you ignoring me?"

Brigitte Lin found that after she finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu didn't answer her, but just smirked there, and she didn't know why he was smirking there.
