Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2218
The next day Bidi Andre came to MGM full of confidence, and it was Richardson who was in charge of receiving him.

As the big boss of Oscar, Bidian can be said to be in Hollywood like wind and rain, but he has never been able to get his wish when inviting Lin Daoqiu to attend the Oscar, which made Bidian De is not happy.

Sometimes the more you can't get something, the more you want to get it, especially for a powerful person like Bi Deander.

So today he felt that he had condescended to come to MGM, so he should get this done.

"Richardson, we have known each other for many years. We already knew each other when you were still at Warner. I helped you a lot back then."

Richardson nodded as he listened. Big men like Bidiande can be said to be very influential in Hollywood. It is definitely a good thing to make friends with him, but it is definitely a bad thing to have a bad relationship with him. bad thing.

"Mr. Ander, I have always respected you very much. It has never changed over the years. You don't need to doubt this."

Hearing what Richardson said, Bidiande nodded in satisfaction.

Although Richardson has become the president of MGM, he is still a junior in front of Bi Deander, and the reputation of the two is obviously higher than Deander in Hollywood.

Not to mention Richardson, even the big guys like Langmeyer and Alan Ryder Jr. would not dare to be presumptuous in front of Bidiande.

"To be honest, I'm here today to ask you for a favor, a small favor."

In fact, Richardson had already guessed the purpose of Bideande coming to MGM to find him today, but Lin Daoqiu had already told him about it. It is impossible for him to attend the Oscar ceremony. He didn't even think about it.

So Richardson was very embarrassed about this, because he didn't know how to reject Bidiande and make the other party not get too angry and affect MGM.

"Oscar has always invited Mr. Lin to attend, but unfortunately we have not received a satisfactory answer over the years, so I came here today to understand this matter, hoping to change it."

Bidiande's change naturally refers to Lin Daoqiu's attendance at the Oscars.

Richardson kept a smile on his face, and he answered cautiously after Bidiande finished speaking.

"In fact, I have always discussed this matter with Mr. Lin, but it is a pity that the time of the Oscars conflicts with his work schedule. Usually, Mr. Lin will stay in Xiangjiang at that time, basically only during the Christmas period. It was only during this period that he returned to work in LA, so this is why he has not been able to attend the Oscars."

Bidiande was very dissatisfied with Richardson's answer, because he felt that the other party was just an excuse.

"Richardson, can't Mr. Lin spare a few days? It won't take too long to fly to LA. Does Mr. Lin have any opinion on Oscar? It's just that he doesn't want to say it. ?”

Richardson quickly shook his head for Bidi Ander's question.

"Of course not. Mr. Lin has great respect for the Oscars. He has said this to me many times before, but let me put it bluntly. The time for the Oscar awards basically coincides with the Lunar New Year in Xiangjiang, which is the Spring Festival. , you know, their Spring Festival is as important as our Christmas, so he will stay in Xiangjiang to spend the holiday with his family."

Bi Diande also knew about this Spring Festival, but he didn't know how important this Spring Festival was to the Chinese. He had heard that Chinatown held grand events every year during the Spring Festival to celebrate.

"Is it really?"

Richardson nodded quickly: "If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate. What I said is the truth, and there is absolutely no falsehood in it."

For Richardson's words, Deander looked skeptical, but if this made him go home, he was obviously unwilling.

"I don't ask too much. Can't Mr. Lim make an exception? He has achieved so much in Hollywood and yet he doesn't even show up for an Oscar. It's really unreasonable, don't you think?"

Bidiande began to put pressure on Richardson, just to force him to let go.

But Richardson knew very well that Lin Daoqiu's decision would not change, so he never thought about trying to persuade Lin Daoqiu to participate in the Oscars.

"If you don't mind, I can represent MGM and Mr. Lin at the Oscars ceremony. As for you asking him to give up his family and the most important festival of the year to attend the Oscars, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to convince him. "

If there is no such option that Richardson mentioned, Bidi Ande will definitely be very unhappy.

But now there is suddenly an additional option for Richardson to replace Lin Daoqiu to attend the Oscars, and the other party also said that the Spring Festival is so important, which made Bidi Ande face a difficult situation all at once.

Before he came, he was full of confidence to persuade Lin Daoqiu to let him attend the Oscars, but now it seems that the difficulty of this matter is much more difficult than he imagined.

"Okay, let me go back and think about this matter. If there is really no other way, I can only follow your suggestion."

"I'm really sorry, I've tried my best to help you, I hope you don't mind."

Richardson was relieved when he heard that Bidi Ander was relieved.

Richardson immediately called Lin Daoqiu after sending Bidi Ande away.

"Mr. Ander seems to be a very sensible person, but if You Nian replaces me to attend the Oscars, I believe he will not be too resistant. After all, you are also the president of MGM. He has no reason to refuse."

There are many reasons for Lin Daoqiu's reluctance to attend the Oscars, but the most important one is that he doesn't like to stand under the spotlight.

And it just so happens that the news of the Oscars will be spread all over the world. Once I am on the Oscars, I will definitely be noticed by more people, especially audiences in North America.

I have a lot of things to do next that will make some people in North America feel very uncomfortable, so Lin Daoqiu thinks that it is better for him to appear in newspapers and magazines as little as possible, otherwise he will really become the darling of the media at that time. It is estimated that people here in Hollywood will add a threat theory to themselves, which is not the result Lin Daoqiu wants to see.
