Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 332

Although there was a jubilant atmosphere around this reception, the movie circle in Xiangjiang has not been peaceful at all recently.

Shaw's previous blockade of New Oriental still rings in everyone's ears, but many people feel that Shao Daheng's move is really unwise.

It stands to reason that Shaw Brothers should deal with Jiahe, why did they suddenly turn around and bump into New Oriental.

Although the Shaw family has great achievements, even such a behemoth suddenly chose to stand on the opposite side of New Oriental and Golden Harvest, which made many people think that Uncle Six's decision was really bad.

In the past ten years, Golden Harvest has grown step by step, from an unknown film company to now being able to compete with Shaw Brothers, and can even surpass the other side in terms of scale.

Not to mention New Oriental. Under the leadership of Lin Daoqiu, a rising star, although there are no outstanding works for the time being, everyone believes that this year will definitely be a year for New Oriental to explode.

On the other hand, Shaw Brothers is getting old. If Lin Daoqiu hadn't helped write "Mission Impossible" last year, the situation of Shaw Brothers would have been even more difficult.

To deal with Golden Harvest and New Oriental based on Shaw's current situation, it can be said that it is a dead end. Didn't Run Run Shaw see it?
"Who knows what Uncle Six thinks, if it were me, I would definitely not do this."

"It is said that before Lin Daoqiu proposed the idea of ​​uniting theater chains, could it be because the shares allocated to Shaw Brothers are too small, so Uncle Six angrily made the decision to block New Oriental?"

Many people at the scene were very interested in gossip in the film industry, especially big figures like Run Run Shaw and Lin Daoqiu. Their gossip could be said to be non-repetitive for a long time.

Although almost most of these gossips are made up, everyone just likes to listen to them, and it doesn't matter whether the logic makes sense or not, anyway, as long as they are spoken out, they can be spread in the market immediately.

"Mr. Zou is here..."

At this time, at the entrance of the banquet hall, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang appeared together in front of the crowd, and they immediately became the focus of everyone on the scene.

Almost everyone's eyes were focused on the head of Jiahe at once.

"congratulations……"

While walking, he cupped his fists and said hello to everyone sitting there. It seemed that Zou Wenhuai was in a good mood today. After all, Golden Harvest's performance was getting better every year, so he was of course very happy.

Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung greeted Zou Wenhuai as soon as they saw him.

"Mr. Zou..."

The two came to Zou Wenhuai to say hello to him.

Although Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao have both started their own companies, they are still members of Golden Harvest.

The difference from before is that they used to be paid, but now they get dividends. Other than that, they haven't changed much from before.

"Go and sit together."

Zou Wenhuai is still very satisfied with these two generals under his command, after all, they were the two who brought the biggest profit to Golden Harvest last year.

However, there is one thing that Zou Wenhuai is not very happy about, that is, Lin Daoqiu's scripts are all Golden Harvest's top-grossing movies.

As long as Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao left Lin Daoqiu, the box office of the films they made would only be a few million.

But even leaving aside the movies related to Lin Daoqiu, they are still the top-grossing kung fu stars of Xiangjiang movies.

It's just that Zou Wenhuai hopes that Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao will not rely too much on Lin Daoqiu, after all, this is not a good thing.

The impact of Bruce Lee's sudden death on Golden Harvest is still unforgettable to Zou Wenhuai.

If it weren't for the joining of the Xu Brothers, I am afraid that Jiahe's current position would never be so stable, and it would be even more difficult to surpass the Shao Brothers.

Don't look at the current relationship between Lin Daoqiu and Jiahe is not bad, but maybe one day they will turn their faces.

"Mr. Zou, isn't Aaron here today?"

Sammo Hung felt a little curious, could it be because Jackie Chan couldn't come to the set for filming?

The strange thing is that as soon as Sammo Hung finished asking, the expressions of Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang seemed a little unnatural.

"That kid is in a hurry to make a new film recently, so he won't come today." He Guanchang explained to Sammo Hung with a smile.

When Sammo Hung heard that this was the case, he didn't think too much about it. After all, last year Jackie Chan went to Hollywood to film "The Killer's Trenches", which was a mess at the box office.

With his personality, he definitely wants to quickly make a movie to prove himself, which is actually quite normal.

But what Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao didn't expect was that Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang wouldn't show the abnormal expression just now if it was just like this.

What Sammo Hung didn't know was that Zou Wenhuai was going to announce a major event later, and this event might make Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao feel very bad.

"Uncle Six is ​​here."

The people around suddenly let out small exclamations, because at this time Run Run Shaw was showing up at the door of the banquet hall with Fang Yat Hua.

Although a lot of things happened to Shaw Brothers and TVB recently, Run Run Shaw still looked energetic, as if he was not affected by those things.

Besides Fang Yat-wah, Run Run Shaw was accompanied by two foreigners, but most of the people present did not know who these two foreigners were.

But Zou Wenhuai recognized at a glance that the person following Run Run Shaw was Kars, the person in charge of Warner in Asia, and he had never seen the other person.

"Happy New Year everyone."

Run Run Shaw had a smile on his face, even Fang Yat Hua who was by his side kept smiling and greeting everyone.

As the most powerful film tycoon in Xiangjiang, Run Run Shaw's seat was arranged in the center, and Zou Wenhuai's desk was on the left of Run Run Shaw.

Although the two of them were only separated by a table, none of them paid attention to the other, as if ignoring each other.

And the table on Run Run Shaw's right is still empty, because the owner of that table has not yet arrived.

Originally, Zou Wenhuai planned to grab the jackpot today and announce a big event in front of Xiangjiang Films, but when he saw Run Run Shaw bringing Kars to the reception, Zou Wenhuai suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Does Uncle Six already know about us?"

He Guanchang asked in a low voice, but Zou Wenhuai just kept his face sullen and said nothing, it seemed that he thought so too.

But even if Run Run Shaw knew about it, it didn't matter, anyway, he would announce it in public today.

But what Zou Wenhuai didn't expect was that apart from him, Run Run Shaw would also do the same thing with him today. It seemed that the two of them had rushed together.

Because it is a Chinese New Year reception, they each have their own people who need to socialize, and even if they don't, I believe they will not talk to each other.

After all, after so many years of accumulated grievances, it is impossible to resolve them in a short time, not to mention that they have no intention of resolving them at all.

It was just after eight o'clock that Lin Daoqiu came to the venue. Because there were only a handful of people who knew him at the venue, he didn't attract much attention when he came in.

But after he walked to the table on Run Run Shaw's right and sat down, everyone realized that this person was the famous Lin Daoqiu.
