Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 334 Lin Daoqiu is not suitable

Although I know that Chen Bosheng is just scaring himself by saying this, but the future of Xiangjiang Films is indeed worrying.

After experiencing a carnival, Xiangjiang Films fell directly to the bottom, and it can be said that the dead cannot die.

Perhaps Chen Bosheng only said such words to attract his own attention, but Lin Daoqiu is very clear that the conservative local film thinking will eventually gradually lose the external market.

Now Xiangjiang Films seems to have a bright future, but only Lin Daoqiu knows what will happen in the future.

When Hollywood's special effects films swept the world's film market, Xiangjiang Films had no resistance at all and gradually lost ground.

"Mr. Chen, are you joking? Now that the world of movies is bright, the theory of the end of the film is nonsense. You say these things just to scare me. Do you think I will be scared by you?"

If it was Zou Wenhuai or Run Run Shaw, I am afraid that Chen Baisheng's opening will only make the other party laugh.

And Chen Baisheng didn't go to Zou Wenhuai and Run Run Shaw because he knew very well that no one would invest in this kind of business that seemed to lose money.

Maybe it was because he felt that he was young and easy to fool, so he came to him, but it was a pity that Chen Baisheng picked the wrong person this time.

"Mr. Lin, don't get me wrong. I'm definitely not scaremongering. The market of Xiangjiang Films is indeed very good now, but have you ever thought about the future?"

If it were another person, they would not consider these issues at all. More than [-]% of the people present only consider the immediate interests. Regarding the future, they will tell you what the future is talking about.

"Then don't you know that Mr. Chen has any good solution?"

Lin Daoqiu knew what Chen Baisheng wanted to do without even thinking about it, but his goal was still too small and narrow.

"If we want Xiangjiang films to spread to the whole world, if only relying on movies is not enough, I think we should tap more talents of Xiangjiang films. For example, we can hold a film festival to expand the influence of Hong Kong films."

The matter of the film festival seemed to be just one of Chen Bosheng's thoughts. He didn't focus on it, because he didn't want Lin Daoqiu to see that he just wanted Lin Daoqiu to pay for the film festival.

After listening to Chen Bosheng's words, Lin Daoqiu seemed to be lost in thought. It seemed that he was really moved by the other party's words.

But in fact, what Lin Daoqiu was thinking at this time was where to arrange Zhong Chuhong to live after the Chinese New Year. If it was too close to ATV, it would be easy for people to find out.

When Chen Bosheng saw Lin Daoqiu's pensive look, he immediately had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

If Lin Daoqiu is willing to help, all the problems will be solved, and Xiangjiang will soon have its own movie festival.

"Mr. Chen, the method you just mentioned is very good, but now it is impossible to hold a film festival if I rely solely on me. This requires the cooperation of everyone, such as the two major companies Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest."

Lin Daoqiu simply threw the problem back to Chen Baisheng. If Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers were willing to do it, Lin Daoqiu would of course follow up, but the problem was that Chen Baisheng needed to communicate with them himself.

Chen Bosheng was full of confidence at the beginning, but after Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, his face suddenly collapsed.

It would be impossible for him to persuade Golden Harvest to cooperate with Shaw Brothers to hold this film festival. The grievances and grievances between the two companies have been going on for so many years. Will they listen to him?

This answer obviously already knew the result without asking, so Chen Baisheng knew it was just Lin Daoqiu's excuse.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, holding a film festival will be of great help to Xiangjiang Films. If New Oriental is willing to take the right to host this festival, it will be of great help to the reputation of New Oriental."

Shu Qi next to him suddenly spoke, and he was thinking about the problem from the perspective of Lin Daoqiu.

It is okay to hold this film festival, but what Lin Daoqiu can get is the most important thing, and what New Oriental urgently needs now is prestige. By holding a film festival, everyone can see the influence of New Oriental.

It has to be said that compared to what Chen Bosheng said, Lin Daoqiu was much more comfortable listening to Shu Qi's words. In fact, everyone can speak the truth, but profit is the businessman's most concerned thing.

If Lin Daoqiu is regarded as a great philanthropist, it can be said that Chen Baisheng was wrong from the beginning.

As for Lin Daoqiu, the Golden Statue Award must be held, but he is not sure whether it will be held now.

If Lin Daoqiu is really determined to do it, it is not impossible, money is not a problem for him at all, as for the broadcast rights to ATV, but what can he get?

"I will seriously consider this question and give you an answer in a few days."

Lin Daoqiu has to go back and think carefully about whether to hold the Golden Image Awards so soon. After all, this annual event reflects the rise and fall of Xiangjiang Films to some extent.

Chen Bosheng wanted to continue persuading him, but Shu Qi shook his head at him, telling him not to continue talking.

Since Lin Daoqiu has already moved, let him go back and think about it. It's not too late to say if it's okay, but if you force the other party too much now, it may backfire.

…………

"Why did you stop me just now? Lin Daoqiu has already been persuaded by us, as long as he works harder, maybe he will agree."

Back in his seat, Chen Baisheng seemed to disagree with Shu Qi's actions just now.

Seeing that Lin Daoqiu was about to nod his head, Shu Qi shook his head so that he couldn't continue.

"Do you think Lin Daoqiu will agree to it? And to be honest, I don't think it's a right choice for Lin Daoqiu to host this film festival."

Shu Qi was much calmer than Chen Bosheng, but his words made Chen Bosheng have question marks on his face.

"Do you think we still have to choose now? And I don't think there is anything inappropriate about Lin Daoqiu."

Chen Baisheng felt that Shu Qi's words were a bit unbelievable. Now it's not that everyone is rushing to do it, but they are begging grandpa to tell grandma to find someone to do it.

"Lin Daoqiu is indeed very suitable, but have you considered the grievances between him, Jiahe and Shaw Brothers? What if Zou Wenhuai and Run Run Shaw order their actors not to participate in the awards ceremony?"

If Shu Qi hadn't said anything, Chen Baisheng wouldn't have thought about it. He just wanted to start this film festival as soon as possible, and he ignored other things.

But when Shu Qi said this, Chen Baisheng also realized that Lin Daoqiu seemed not suitable to host this film festival. After all, the grievances and grievances between the three major cinema lines are too complicated.

Regardless of whether one of them hosts the festival, there is a good chance that the other two will not.

If this is the case, wouldn't this film festival become unworthy of its name? If that is the case, it would be better not to hold it, so as not to be laughed at from time to time.
