Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 439

He Guanchang felt that every time he came to see Lin Daoqiu, his mood seemed a little different.

At first they just regarded Lin Daoqiu as a tool to make money.

But as the opponent gradually began to emerge, He Guanchang found that his attitude towards Lin Daoqiu had also changed a lot.

Although He Guanchang called each other Mr. Lin from the beginning to the end, his mood and thoughts were different every time he called.

For example, now, in order to test Lin Daoqiu's attitude towards cooperation, He Guanchang felt uneasy.

As Lin Daoqiu's strength is getting stronger and stronger, the possibility of taking advantage of him is getting lower and lower.

Originally, the news that Lin Daoqiu was banned from Baodao suddenly came out a while ago, which surprised both Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang.

They even thought that Lin Daoqiu's upward momentum was likely to be hit hard by this incident.

You must know that Baodao is a big port market for Xiangjiang. Although Lin Daoqiu may not care about it, other filmmakers in Xiangjiang do not have as much confidence as him.

We must know that many filmmakers in Hong Kong are pointing to the profit of the market in Baodao, and if this door is closed, it will greatly affect their livelihood.

Even Jiahe and Shaw Brothers didn't dare to offend Baodao at will. Lin Daoqiu was banned like this, which made Zou Wenhuai and the others very curious about what he did there to get banned by Baodao.

But within two days of this incident, news came from Baodao, and it turned out that this was just an oolong.

But because of this incident, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang discovered that Lin Daoqiu's attention in Baodao was not low.

You must know that the news bureaus of China Film and Taiwan can hold a joint press conference to help clarify. This is not the treatment that everyone can have, not to mention that they also publish clarification notices in newspapers across Asia.

Originally, some people in Xiangjiang wanted to wait for Lin Daoqiu's accident to see if they could compete for the boss of Xiangjiang Cinemas, but they were greatly disappointed by the final result.

"Mr. Lin, I'm actually here today to discuss with you about "Five Lucky Stars"."

He Guanchang knew that Lin Daoqiu didn't like to beat around the bush, so he directly stated his intentions.

The play "Five Lucky Stars" was a script written by Lin Daoqiu two years ago. At that time, Golden Harvest bought the copyright of this play at a price of 2000 million, but there was no time to make a sequel.

As a result, when they had time, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, one of the protagonists, had already transferred others to New Oriental.

Although even without Sammo Hung and the others, Golden Harvest can still find other people to shoot, such as letting Jackie Chan replace Sammo Hung's role.

But it seems very simple to say, but without Sammo Hung, even if the filming of this film is definitely not up to standard, even He Guanchang himself is not optimistic.

"Oh, Mr. He is talking about the movie I wrote for Golden Harvest two years ago."

Lin Daoqiu realized after hearing this that He Guanchang originally wanted to talk about this matter when he came here today.

I have to say that "Five Lucky Stars" is definitely a very good comedy. Lin Daoqiu didn't understand why Golden Harvest didn't make a sequel last year. You must know that he hadn't poached Sammo Hung and the others away.

"But Mr. He, I'm sorry that I won't be writing the script of this drama anymore, and the copyright of this drama has been sold to Jiahe. If you want to make a film, you don't need to ask my opinion at all."

Lin Daoqiu also thought that He Guanchang wanted to come to him for the script of the sequel of "Five Lucky Stars".

"No, no, Mr. Lin, you misunderstood. You are so busy now, why would I bother you? I mean, I want to invite Sanmao and the others to film this "Five Lucky Stars".

Although Sanmao opened his own film company, they are all from New Oriental. Both Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang believed that if they wanted to invite Sammo Hung to make this movie, they must first get Lin Daoqiu's permission.

After Lin Daoqiu listened to He Guanchang's words, he finally understood that He Guanchang was worried that he would not agree to let Sammo Hung go to film for Jiahe.

But they can't be blamed for this incident. After all, the poaching incident was so big that it directly led to Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers forming a double-screening to deal with themselves. It's no wonder that He Guanchang and the others are now so careful to test themselves.

"It's also my fault that I didn't make it clear before. I think that since everyone chose to form a theater chain, the artists under it should communicate with each other, and shouldn't set many restrictions. I don't know what Mr. He thinks of my suggestion?"

Originally, He Guanchang was still a little worried that Lin Daoqiu would not agree to let Sammo Hung help Golden Harvest film. Before he came, he had even discussed with Zou Wenhuai and was willing to give up half of the proceeds from "Five Lucky Stars".

But he never expected Lin Daoqiu to be so broad-minded, and his decision is definitely a great benefit to the development of Xiangjiang Films.

At this time, He Guanchang suddenly had the idea of ​​admiring Lin Daoqiu, and he even felt that it might be a very correct choice for this young man to be the helm of Xiangjiang Films.

But on the other hand, He Guanchang was also worried, if Lin Daoqiu fell in love with Xu Guanwen and Jackie Chan and asked them to make a movie, would they agree or not?

"Since Mr. Lin has said so, Golden Harvest will naturally fully support your decision."

He Guanchang felt that at least under the leadership of Lin Daoqiu, everyone was no longer living on their own one-third of an acre of land as before.

And the box office has been soaring in the past few years, from less than 3000 million to more than 4000 million now, I believe it will not be long before 5000 million or even [-] million box office will appear.

He Guanchang planned to wait and see for a while before talking, anyway, there must be nothing wrong with agreeing first.

"Then I would like to thank Mr. He. In the future, if Golden Harvest or someone from another company wants to find an artist from New Oriental to make a movie, just contact the artist department of New Oriental directly."

Although He Guanchang didn't know when New Oriental established the artist department, he believed that they would deal with this department more and more in the future.

…………

Seizing the opportunity, after He Guanchang left Lin Daoqiu's side, Mai Jia and Huang Baiming rushed forward. If they were a step slower, they were worried that Lin Daoqiu would be snatched away again.

Seeing that Mai Jia and Huang Baiming suddenly blocked his way, Lin Daoqiu knew that these two people should have something to say to him.

"Mr. Lin, we have something to talk to you alone."

The way Mai Jia and Huang Baiming smiled made Lin Daoqiu feel very strange, because it was very different from their usual smiles.
