Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 394 Aiming at Shaw Brothers?

"I'm afraid no one would have thought that a young man who came swimming would become the helm of Xiangjiang Films three years later. Congratulations to Mr. Lin."

Although Fang Yihua seemed to be praising Lin Daoqiu, her words always made people feel a kind of yin and yang.

In just three short years, Lin Daoqiu climbed to such a high position all of a sudden, which made Fang Yihua, who didn't take Lin Daoqiu seriously at all, feel very uncomfortable.

"At the beginning, I also relied on Ms. Fang's help to achieve this day. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for your support. Without your help, maybe I would not have reached my current achievement so quickly."

Lin Daoqiu's words made Fang Yihua very angry, but now she has nothing to do with Lin Daoqiu, unless she knows earlier that Lin Daoqiu will have such a day, and will also pose a threat to Shaw Brothers and TVB.

If that's the case, she will definitely do everything she can to suppress Lin Daoqiu, and she will never let him have a bright future.

But such a thing is impossible if you think about it, let's not talk about Jiahe's side, I can't handle it myself, even if I can suppress him for a while, but with Lin Daoqiu's ability, I believe it will be a matter of time before he makes a fortune.

Since there is nothing unstoppable at all, there is no need to act against the sky. Anyway, there are still many benefits to cooperating with Lin Daoqiu, and the most profitable movies of Shaw Brothers are all obtained by cooperating with Lin Daoqiu.

Thinking about it carefully, getting Lin Daoqiu to wake up was better than having Jiahe pressing on their heads all the time.

If it weren't for Lin Daoqiu, I am afraid that Jiahe's strength would be very terrifying now, so Fang Yihua has slowly accepted the fact that Lin Daoqiu came to be the head of Xiangjiang Film.

"Mr. Lin, you're being polite. We're just helping each other. If you really remember your previous friendship, why don't you share more shares with us? Shaw Brothers can use cash as compensation for the excess."

At this time, Fang Yihua was still thinking about whether Lin Daoqiu could give Shaw a little more shares, at least equal to Golden Harvest.

If Golden Harvest got [-]% but Shaw only got [-]%, outsiders would think that Shaw is no longer as good as Golden Harvest, how can this be possible.

"There is no need for money. If Shaw Brothers wants to join the United Cinemas, the [-]% stake will not change. I hope Ms. Fang can understand this."

Even if Fang Yihua doesn't understand, it doesn't matter, anyway, Lin Daoqiu's line has been drawn here, if she doesn't agree, then Lin Daoqiu has plenty of time to wait, but it's not certain whether the shares will be [-]% in the future up.

Before coming here, Fang Yihua originally had the idea of ​​being able to persuade Lin Daoqiu to give him more shares in Shaw Brothers. She was even ready to spend money to buy [-]% to half of the shares from Lin Daoqiu.

But now it looks like her idea is an impossible dream.

"Mr. Lin is indeed very brave, [-]% is [-]%, but I heard that Mr. Lin has set a standard. If the attendance rate falls below a certain standard, he will be forced to cancel the painting. I wonder if there is such a thing? "

Although Fang Yihua didn't know whether the standard set by Lin Daoqiu was aimed at Shaw Brothers, she didn't want this standard to be really set, because it would hurt Shao Brothers very much.

"Miss Fang is right. If the attendance rate falls below [-]% in the first three days after the film's release, the number of shows will be cut. If it continues to drop, it will be forced to withdraw."

The reason why Lin Daoqiu didn't directly force those movies whose attendance rate fell below [-]% to be canceled was because he wanted to give the other party a chance.

Because some movies may not be able to attract audiences to watch due to some relationship at the beginning, but after relying on the quality of the movie to win word-of-mouth later, the attendance rate will naturally increase.

But if there is no way to increase the attendance rate after reducing the number of games, then in the end, we can only force the draw.

Although Lin Daoqiu didn't name them, Shaw Brothers is the most unacceptable of his actions, because their movie attendance rate has never been high.

According to the conditions set by Lin Daoqiu, at that time, a large number of Shaw Brothers films will be cut down, and they may even be forced to withdraw in advance.

This is no longer a matter of money, but a matter of Shaw's face, so Fang Yihua must not sit idly by, she must find a way to make Lin Daoqiu change this decision.

"Mr. Lin, I think this decision is totally unreasonable. A theater with [-]% of the attendance rate can still keep its capital. Moreover, not every month of the year will have a strong movie on file. Most of the time it will be some ordinary movies. If you follow the request you set, I am worried that the theater will have to open the skylight."

Fang Yihua's words sounded like she was thinking about the theater, but in fact, most of them were her own selfishness, but the statement was very high-sounding, as if it really sounded like that.

However, Lin Daoqiu didn't want the United Cinemas to repeat the situation that Golden Harvest encountered before, so no matter what Fang Yihua said, he couldn't lower this standard.

"If a movie doesn't even get [-]% of the attendance in the first week of its release, does Ms. Fang think it's necessary to continue showing it?"

Lin Daoqiu said with a look of disdain: "The purpose of everyone forming this joint theater chain is to make money. If Ms. Fang has any good suggestions, you can tell them, but let's forget about this matter, because it is a consensus between me and Mr. Zou." decided."

Zou Wenhuai naturally didn't want to be taken advantage of by Shao after suffering such a big loss, so he will naturally fully support Lin Daoqiu's decision this time.

Miss Fang originally wanted to persuade Lin Daoqiu to lower his standards, but now it seems that Lin Daoqiu is not going to give in.

"Okay, okay, if that's the case, I'll go back and think about the cooperation, and I'll reply to Mr. Lin another day."

Miss Fang was so angry at Lin Daoqiu, he felt that the other party and Zou Wenhuai set this standard just to target Shaw Brothers, which was simply too deceptive.

After Fang Yihua finished speaking, he stood up, then turned around and left Lin Daoqiu's office directly.

Just as the furious Fang Yihua brought her assistant to the elevator and was about to take the elevator to leave, a fat man came out of it and she was stunned for a moment.

Speaking of it, Wang Jing was really unlucky, he came to Lin Daoqiu today because "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Overlords" had already been filmed and planned to ask Lin Daoqiu to take a look first, but he didn't expect to meet an angry Fang Yathua as soon as he got out of the elevator.

"Fang Fangfang... Good morning, Miss Fang..."

He stammered and finished the greeting, but in the end Fang Yihua only gave him a cold snort in response.
