Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2214 "The Emperor of Hollywood"

There used to be a very classic photo in "God of Gamblers" in the last life, that is, the photo of Gao Jin with his back on his back. In the movie, it is also the only photo of Gao Jin that has been passed down to the world.

What Lin Daoqiu didn't expect was that they actually used a photo of the same type on the cover of the new "Time" magazine, and this year's "Time" magazine selected him as the man of the year.

On the cover of this issue, the title of "Time" magazine is "The Emperor of Hollywood". When this "Emperor of Hollywood" is paired with Lin Daoqiu's picture, it is easy to think of it together.

"It's really confusing that they selected you as the man of the year."

Brigitte Lin took the "Time" magazine in Lin Daoqiu's hand and read it again. The thing that attracted her most was Lin Daoqiu with his body behind his back on the cover.

I don't know where they got this photo, but for Lin Daoqiu, he doesn't like the photo of himself on the cover at all, because it reminds him of the image of Gao Jin in "God of Gamblers".

"Tsk tsk tsk... "The Emperor of Hollywood", it seems that the title they gave you is really appropriate."

Brigitte Lin flipped through "Time" magazine and laughed there. She didn't know if she was praising Lin Daoqiu, but it sounded like she wasn't.

"The big tree attracts the wind, but fortunately, "Time" magazine still knows to turn my back to the audience, which is already very considerate of me."

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't like this photo, he had to say that as long as he didn't show his face, Lin Daoqiu had no problem.

"The photo is quite to your liking, but I believe that what is written in it may not make you happy."

Brigitte Lin frowned while flipping through the pages.

"Time" magazine didn't know if it was to avenge Lin Daoqiu, deliberately exaggerating his position in Hollywood countless times.

He even secretly told North American filmmakers to be wary of this guy from Xiangjiang, because the magic studio and MGM in his hands will replace them one by one.

"It's a good thing that this issue of "Time" magazine doesn't know that I'm buying Columbia Pictures. If they know about it, I'm afraid it's not just a simple speculation like now, but there is real evidence."

Lin Qingxia didn't know that Lin Daoqiu was planning to acquire Columbia Pictures, and this was the first time she heard Lin Daoqiu mention this matter.

So when Brigitte Lin heard what the other party said, she put down the "Time" magazine in surprise, and then turned to look at Lin Daoqiu in surprise.

You must know that it is not easy for a Chinese to gain a foothold in Hollywood, but Lin Daoqiu not only managed to gain a foothold in Hollywood, but he also successfully bought a Hollywood film company.

What people didn't expect was that only a few years after Lin Daoqiu acquired MGM, he suddenly had his eyes on another Hollywood film company, and even started to acquire it. This is simply too unbelievable.

"What do you think? Columbia Pictures is no better than MGM. If I remember correctly, this company's strength in Hollywood is much stronger than that of MGM before. Do you have that much money?"

Brigitte Lin still doesn't know how much money Lin Daoqiu has. After all, since she and Lin Daoqiu met and got together, she has never worried about money.

Hugging Lin Qingxia over, Lin Daoqiu whispered in her ear.

"The amount of this transaction will probably be around 45 billion U.S. dollars. If you want me to take out the money now, I can tell you that I can't do it."

It's not that Lin Daoqiu really can't do it, but if he wants to come up with 45 billion US dollars in cash at once, he has to sell a lot of things to get it together.

"Why would you buy the company if you don't have the money? I think owning an MGM is pretty amazing."

Lin Qingxia couldn't understand why Lin Daoqiu made such an acquisition since he was not rich in funds. She really didn't understand what the other party was thinking.

For Brigitte Lin's confusion, Lin Daoqiu is very understandable, and he believes that not only Brigitte Lin, if this matter is known to other people, I believe they will have the same idea as Brigitte Lin.

"In order to always have a place in Hollywood, I must win Columbia Pictures."

Lin Daoqiu plans to operate separately from MGM after buying Columbia Pictures. The two companies can cooperate but have different ideas and actions in the direction of film production.

Most people who buy such a large company will definitely try to integrate it with the company they own, but Lin Daoqiu does not intend to do this because he wants a double insurance.

It's just that no matter how much he and Lin Qingxia explained about such things, the other party would not understand, so Lin Daoqiu only needed to tell her the general things. As for the details, Lin Daoqiu didn't plan to say too much.

"Although I don't know what you think, as long as it's something you want to do, I will definitely support you with all my strength."

Lin Qingxia couldn't help Lin Daoqiu financially, but she could help Lin Daoqiu from other sources, such as helping him relieve stress, or starring in a few blockbuster movies to help Lin Daoqiu earn more money.

"Don't worry, I am sure about this matter. As long as it can be delayed until the end of next year, I am confident that I can buy Columbia Pictures."

There is only one company competing with Lin Daoqiu for Columbia Pictures, and that is Sony.

At the end of next year, the neon economy will reach its highest point, and then it will jump directly from a high altitude, from about to overtake the United States to falling all the way down, and it will take decades for it to slip.

"Of course I believe in you, because you are the best."

After Lin Qingxia finished speaking, she took a sip on Lin Daoqiu's face, and then she was suddenly hugged by Lin Daoqiu.

"What are you doing, big villain? What time is it now? Hey... I'm talking to you."

Brigitte Lin looked at Lin Daoqiu shyly, but it was a pity that although Lin Daoqiu heard what she said, the other party didn't take it seriously at all.

Looking at the beauty in his arms, Lin Daoqiu didn't care about those things. It didn't make any difference to him whether it was morning or evening.

"The spring night is bitter, the day is high, and the king will not go to court early. Haven't you heard this poem?"

"But this poem talks about the emperor, and you are not the emperor."

""Time" magazine named me the "Emperor of Hollywood". If this is the case, I will be an emperor for a while, my concubine, get ready to go to bed."

Brigitte Lin didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu would use the title given to him by "Time" magazine to talk about it. In the end, she had no choice but to put her arms around the other's neck and let the bad guy do whatever he wanted.
