Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2149 Integrating Neon Movies
Qian Chuanqing had been suffering for a long time and finally waited until it was time to get off work. He hurriedly called his secretary and pushed through all the arrangements, and then the two of them drove directly to the restaurant that Lin Daoqiu had made an appointment with.

For Songzhu Yinghua, in order to reverse the situation that has been suppressed by Dongbao, except for Lin Daoqiu who can help them, it is almost impossible for anyone else to be able to do it.

Although Qian Chuanqing didn't know why Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked him to meet him this time, he felt that this might be a good opportunity for Shochiku Yinghua to rise.

Liushuiju, a shop famous for neon cuisine, occupies a large courtyard in the bustling Tokyo neighborhood.

The people who come here to eat are naturally not ordinary people, and ordinary people are not willing to spend hundreds of thousands to have a meal here.

When Qian Chuanqing arrived at Liushuiju, Fang Jinsheng and the translator were already standing at the door waiting for their arrival.

"Your Excellency must be Mr. Maekawa Kiyonori, and I am Fang Jinsheng, Mr. Lin's assistant."

"Hi, Mr. Fang, I'm Kiyonori Maekawa, nice to meet you."

Qian Chuanqing shook hands with Fang Jinsheng, and was then invited into Liushuiju.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu was already sitting in the private room sipping tea, and when Qian Chuanqing arrived, he got up immediately.

"Mr. Qianchuan, hello, I'm Lin Daoqiu, I'm really sorry to disturb you in your busy schedule."

Lin Daoqiu stretched out his hand and shook the other party.

Qian Chuanqing quickly shook his head.

"Mr. Lin is too polite. It is my honor to have the opportunity to meet you. I should be the one who disturbed you."

Qian Chuanqing was very polite in front of Lin Daoqiu, even though he was over 50 years old, but in front of Lin Daoqiu, a young man who was more than 20 years younger than him, he put on a very reserved look.

Don't look at Qian Chuanqing as the president of Songzhu Yinghua, but he really doesn't have the confidence to show off in front of Lin Daoqiu.

The cumulative box office of the films made by Songzhu Pictures in ten years is not as good as Lin Daoqiu's "1992".

So Qian Chuanqing knew very well how he should behave in front of his own Lin Daoqiu.

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Lin Daoqiu invited Qian Chuanqing to sit down.

"I have been cooperating with the Neon film industry all these years, but most of them are with Dongbao. This time, I have invited Mr. Maekawa here because I want to cooperate with you."

As soon as Qian Chuanqing sat down, he heard what he had always dreamed of hearing.

If Lin Daoqiu is willing to distribute some of New Oriental and MGM's movies to them, then Shochiku Pictures' annual income may more than double.

Once they have the money, they can make more movies, which is naturally something that Maekawa Kiyoshi cannot refuse.

But what Qian Chuanqing never expected was that happiness came too suddenly, and what Lin Daoqiu brought him was a cooperation that could change Neon Film and Television.

"Mr. Lin, please tell me, if Songzhu Yinghua can help you, I will seriously consider your request."

Although Qian Chuanqing was very excited in his heart, he kept a very calm look on his face. After all, Lin Daoqiu didn't know why he asked him to cooperate.

Therefore, Qian Chuanqing was very cautious. Before Lin Daoqiu said the matter, he would never show the slightest excitement or excitement.

"I believe that Mr. Qianchuan should have heard that I opened a New Oriental Film Company in Xiangjiang before, and merged all the subsidiaries of New Oriental into it."

Qian Chuanqing had heard about this matter before, but he didn't get to know it too deeply. After all, Lin Daoqiu had nothing to do with Songzhu Yinghua at that time, and it was meaningless to him to know more.

"The reason why I started this company is very simple. I hope to make more excellent movies and dedicate them to the audience. This includes not only the audience in Xiangjiang, but also audiences from all over Asia..."

"This company has a very important business, and that is the theater business. In other words, I plan to open theaters in major film markets throughout Asia, and integrate these departments into one Asian theater."

Qian Chuanqing, who had been listening carefully, finally understood why Lin Daoqiu came to him today after Lin Daoqiu finished speaking.

It seems that Lin Daoqiu's ambition is really not small, and Xiangjiang is no longer enough to satisfy his ambition. His current idea is to unify the entire Asian film market.

If he can really do this, it will definitely bring about a huge change in box office revenue for filmmakers in Asia.

Even if not every movie is suitable for broadcasting in the whole of Asia, as long as there are three or four out of ten movies, the income in a year will be very considerable.

"It's a pity that Dongbao is not interested in my proposal, so I specially invited Mr. Maekawa here this time, hoping to cooperate with Shochiku Films."

There are also theaters under Shochiku Yinghua, but the number of theaters is much smaller than that of Toho, so Maekawa Kiyoshi will not and will not be as entangled in the choice as Toho's Matsuoka Isao.

"This matter is no small matter. Of course, I really hope to cooperate with Mr. Lin, but if I am alone, I cannot make a decision all at once. I still need to go back and discuss it with everyone."

Although Kiyoshi Maekawa is the president of Shochiku Films, he is not the kind of person who can make all the decisions by himself.

Lin Daoqiu was very understandable about Qianchuan Qingze's cautiousness. After all, it was not a trivial matter, and it was normal to be cautious.

If Qian Chuanqing agreed to his request directly, Lin Daoqiu would even doubt whether the other party really planned to cooperate with him.

Although Shochiku Yinghua has not yet been settled, but in the process of contacting Maekawa Kiyonori, Lin Daoqiu found that the other party was still very interested in his proposal. After all, Shochiku Yinghua was really short of money.

If a big company like New Oriental is willing to cooperate with them, it will be an irresistible thing for Shochik Films.

But only Shochiku Yinghua's family can't compete with Dongbao, so Lin Daoqiu must find another person to cooperate with, and that is Toei Co., Ltd.

It just so happens that the two companies, Toei and Shochiku, are not large in size and cannot be compared with Dongbao, so it is definitely a huge opportunity for them if Lin Daoqiu seeks cooperation with them.

However, before Lin Daoqiu met Toei's president Shigeru Okada, the other party already knew about the meeting between Lin Daoqiu and Maekawa Kiyonori from other channels.

As one of the presidents of the three major Neon film companies, Shigeru Okada attaches great importance to this matter.
