Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 290
"Mr. Zou, if "Flying Dragon" can get a double screening this time, the box office will definitely surpass "Mission Impossible"."

Sammo Hung has full confidence in "Flying Dragon". After all, the three brothers co-starred in this drama, and together with Lin Daoqiu's screenwriter, it can be said that all the necessary conditions for success have been gathered.

Not to mention that there are no strong movies to fight against them this Christmas, and "Flying Dragon" is almost equivalent to lying down and winning.

And the extent to which this movie can win in the end depends on whether it can get a double screening.

After all, the limit of Golden Harvest Cinemas is just over 1000 million. If you don't get the box office of "Flying Dragon" at the end of the double screening, there will only be so much.

Zou Wenhuai actually hoped that the box office of "Flying Dragon" would soar, because the three leading actors are all from Golden Harvest.

But the problem now is that he is in a rivalry with Lin Daoqiu, and if he goes to discuss with the other party about the two-line screening at this time, wouldn't that mean that he owes him a favor.

So Zou Wenhuai is stuck in this place now, but it is impossible for him to tell Hong Jinbaoming, so it seems that he is thinking seriously.

"Mr. Zou, in fact, we have already talked to Mr. Lin about this matter."

At this time, Yuan Biao suddenly said something that surprised Zou Wenhuai.

Sammo Hung and the others have already gone to Lin Daoqiu, has the other party already agreed to the dual screening?

Zou Wenhuai remembered that Princess Jin would also promote her own "Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing" at Christmas.

Lin Daoqiu shouldn't be so stupid to withdraw his movie and put "Flying Dragon" instead. If this is the case, then Lin Daoqiu is really stupid.

"Oh, then I don't know what Mr. Lin said?"

He Guanchang who was on the side couldn't help asking, now he really wants to know how Lin Daoqiu answered them.

"Mr. Lin doesn't mind the double-screening. He thinks that if there is a dual-screening, the two films should be released on a staggered time, and what's more, "Ghost Horse Zhi Duoxing" should be screened on Golden Harvest."

There is nothing wrong with Lin Daoqiu's statement. Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang also think that the most reasonable choice is to stagger the release of the two films.

Because only by doing so can the box office be maximized, instead of head-on confrontation.

And as for "Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing" getting Golden Harvest to be screened, there is no problem at all, as long as Zou Wenhuai can get it done with a word, there is no problem at all.

Zou Wenhuai didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to be so talkative, but this cooperation is considered to be mutually beneficial, and it shouldn't involve United Cinemas, so Zou Wenhuai agreed without thinking too much.

"As long as there is no problem with Mr. Lin, Golden Harvest will naturally not refuse to cooperate with Princess Jin."

It seems that everyone is happy with this matter, but both Chow Man-huai and Sammo Hung have overlooked a problem, that is who will be released first.

You must know that Christmas is coming soon, and whoever can release it on Christmas Day will get more box office.

How could such an important file, Lin Daoqiu, be surrendered to others?

…………

"Mr. Lin, long time no see."

The next day Zou Wenhuai took the initiative to ask Lin Daoqiu out for tea instead of calling him to Jiahe to talk about things as before.

After all, Lin Daoqiu's identity is different now, and the other party is already the boss of a theater chain, so it would be wrong to regard him as a junior at this time.

"Mr. Zou is being polite, do you know what you can do with me today?"

After Lin Daoqiu sat down, he asked straight to the point. He could more or less guess that what Zou Wenhuai should talk to him about was the double-screening.

"Yesterday Sanmao told me that he and Yuen Biao went to you for the matter of "Flying Dragon and Warriors."

Zou Wenhuai took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Lin Daoqiu.

"There is such a thing. After all, the movie "Flying Dragon" is the script I invested and wrote. It is normal for them to have such thoughts."

"I've already seen this movie. It can be said that it's very well shot. I believe it will definitely win a lot of money at the box office. By then, Mr. Lin will probably make a lot of money."

Although Zou Wenhuai doesn't seem to have made much money, in fact he is the one who earns the most.

Because after Lin Daoqiu made Sammo Hung and the others famous, the films made by these people in the future would be made by Jiahe, so Zou Wenhuai did not exclude them from cooperating with Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Zou was joking. I'm just making a little money, and Golden Harvest is the real big winner." Lin Daoqiu smiled and shook his hand.

In fact, there is no need to argue about this matter at all, because the facts are right in front of us, so Zou Wenhuai did not intend to correct Lin Daoqiu's statement.

"It seems that Mr. Lin should not object to the dual-screening. If this is the case, why not settle it now?"

Zou Wenhuai felt that everything was going well, and now as long as Lin Daoqiu nodded, the matter would be settled.

As for the matter of "Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing", we will arrange a schedule for them to release it after Christmas.

But Zou Wenhuai's thinking was obviously a bit too natural, and he didn't think about whether Lin Daoqiu would agree to his request.

"Of course I have no objection, otherwise I would not have planned to form a joint theater chain."

Lin Daoqiu suddenly changed the topic to United Cinemas.

But today Zou Wenhuai obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, because he would not back down, and he was very sure that Lin Daoqiu should be the same as him.

Since it was a topic with no results, there was no need to talk about it, because it was just a waste of words, so he just smiled and nodded without saying anything.

And Lin Daoqiu also seemed to feel that Zou Wenhuai was unwilling to talk about the United Cinemas, so he didn't continue on this topic.

"If that's the case, then I'll have someone send a copy of "Ghost Horse Zhi Duoxing" to Jiahe tomorrow."

When Zou Wenhuai heard it, he immediately showed a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Lin, you don't need to be in such a hurry. You can get it after "Flying Dragon" is finished."

Zou Wenhuai has always believed that the film that will be released first in the double screening is "Flying Dragon".

"Wait until the release of "Flying Dragon" is over? Shouldn't "Ghost Horse" be released first?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Zou Wenhuai in confusion.

Now the two of them understood almost at the same time. It turned out that the other party thought their movie would be released first.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere at the scene became very awkward.

"Mr. Zou, my company still has some things to deal with, so I'm sorry."

Lin Daoqiu was too lazy to continue chatting with Zou Wenhuai, because their thoughts were completely different from the beginning.

"Since that's the case, I'll come out for tea some other day if I have time."

Zou Wenhuai didn't want to stay here any longer, he felt very embarrassed just like Lin Daoqiu, and of course it would be best to get rid of it quickly.
