Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 874
"Do you think A Biao will tell Hong Jinbao what he heard?"

After Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao left Lin Daoqiu's office, Lin Daoqiu called Fang Jinsheng in.

Apart from Lin Daoqiu, only Fang Jinsheng knew about digging up Jackie Chan.

Lin Daoqiu naturally wouldn't be so bored, he ran out and told others that he wanted to dig Jackie Chan.

So Fang Jinsheng was the only one who spread the news, and the reason why he dared to do this was also inspired by Lin Daoqiu.

Otherwise, even if Fang Jin had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to spread such things to the outside world.

"It should be. Although Ah Biao is not a person who likes to gossip, but such explosive news, he should not hide it from Sammo Hung."

Lin Daoqiu naturally hoped that Yuen Biao would spread the news as soon as possible, and the wider the spread, the better.

In this way, everyone will know that New Oriental wants to dig Jackie Chan, which will undoubtedly bring great pressure to Golden Harvest.

Lin Daoqiu doesn't necessarily have to do something, as long as he continues to put pressure on Jiahe, the other party will naturally make confused moves because of his panic.

Although Lin Daoqiu had mentioned in front of He Guanchang before that he had the advantage of age.

But if Lin Daoqiu really had to wait a few years before unifying Xiangjiang's theater chains, this is by no means what Lin Daoqiu would like to see.

So he had to speed up his pace, coordinate and integrate, and force Golden Harvest to give up the theaters.

Not long after, the news that Lin Daoqiu wanted to dig Jackie Chan had spread throughout Xiangjiang's film and television circles.

Although many people think that this is simply a rumor, some of them think that it should be true.

"When is Aaron coming back?"

The news that Lin Daoqiu wants to dig Jackie Chan has been spread for several days, and Zou Wenhuai has been restless these days.

Jackie Chan has been filming "Red Fan District" in Hollywood for a while, and that movie is almost wrapping up.

For the editing work this time, Zou Wenhuai did not stay in Hollywood, but brought back Xiangjiang to do the editing.

Because he doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the last "Killer's Trenches", Zou Wenhuai can only rest assured if he takes the film back and edits it himself.

But after Jackie Chan came back, Zou Wenhuai had to face another dilemma, that is, he had to prevent Lin Daoqiu from contacting Jackie Chan.

"He happened to be on the phone, and Aaron said that it would be sorted out in another week."

"A week..."

Zou Wenhuai began to mutter to himself in a low voice.

"Mr. Zou, I don't think Lin Daoqiu really wants to poach Aaron."

As soon as He Guanchang said this, Zou Wenhuai immediately turned his head to the other party, with a puzzled expression in his eyes.

Lin Daoqiu doesn't want to dig Jackie Chan?Is this possible?

In Zou Wenhuai's view, as long as Lin Daoqiu poachs Jackie Chan away, Golden Harvest will be seriously injured.

Using this to attack Golden Harvest can also enhance the strength of New Oriental, so why not Lin Daoqiu?
"Is there any way to hit us better than digging Aaron?"

Zou Wenhuai looked at He Guanchang with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Zou, if Lin Daoqiu forcibly poachs Aaron, we will not agree anyway, so at first glance, it seems that the difficulty for him to succeed is very low."

If what He Guanchang said was true, and Lin Daoqiu really ran to dig Jackie Chan, Zou Wenhuai would definitely do his best to prevent it. It seems that Lin Daoqiu's chance of success is not high.

But Zou Wenhuai forgot one thing, that is, compared with Jiahe, Lin Daoqiu has a huge advantage.

"Lin Daoqiu can make Aaron a big star in Hollywood, but we can't."

This time, the script of "Red Fan District" was written by Lin Daoqiu for Jackie Chan.

But it is simply impossible for Jackie Chan to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood with just one play.

"What is certain is that it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to write scripts for Aaron. If we can't let Aaron gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, what choice does Mr. Zou think Aaron will make?"

He Guanchang's hypothesis was thrown out, which made Zou Wenhuai frown more and more.

But the fact is exactly that, no matter how unwilling Zou Wenhuai is to accept it, he can't change the fact in front of him.

"It seems that Lin Daoqiu has eaten us to death. At first, he thought he was taking advantage of him, but he didn't expect it to be a trap dug for us."

…………

"New Shushan Swordsman" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy" were successfully drawn after a week.

In the end, "New Swordsman of Shushan" managed to break through the box office of 2000 million, while "Legend of Sword and Fairy" got a good score of 300 million.

Compared with the two, Tsui Hark can be said to have suffered a crushing defeat this time.

He not only caused Bao Shaogang to pay more than 4000 million yuan, but even Tsui Hark's own future was almost lost.

"Old Xu, why don't we go to Hollywood, I'm afraid there is no room for us in Xiangjiang."

After Tsui Hark finished painting "New Shushan Swordsman", he locked himself at home and did not go out.

As for the follow-up negotiations with Jiahe, he has no interest at all.

Because judging from the final box office of "New Shushan Swordsman", Zou Wenhuai may have already been deeply disappointed in himself.

Even if Jiahe throws an olive branch to him, he probably won't get any good treatment.

Maybe when the time comes, I will only be able to produce some low-cost comedies in Golden Harvest. This is definitely not the life Tsui Hark wants to live.

"Let me think about it."

After returning from abroad, Tsui Hark has been staying in Xiangjiang. From being a nobody to directing a 5000 million blockbuster movie, it can be said that Tsui Hark has gained a lot in Xiangjiang.

If he were to leave everything now and meet again abroad, it would obviously be unrealistic for Tsui Hark to make this decision right away.

"If you want to stay in Xiangjiang, I think you should go to Mr. Zou now."

Shi Nansheng could see that Tsui Hark was still very nostalgic for Xiangjiang.

If this is the case, then she will naturally not force Tsui Hark to leave Xiangjiang.

"Go to Jiahe now. If it's better, I should be able to make a comedy with a small cost. If it's worse, I'm afraid I'll be an assistant for someone else."

As soon as Xu Hark thought of this, he couldn't help shaking his head with a wry smile.

Whether it's making low-budget comedy movies or working as an assistant for others, this is not the life Tsui Hark wants.

"Old Xu, actually, I don't think you need to be so pessimistic. Jiahe's situation is no better than ours."

Tsui Hark didn't understand what Shi Nansheng meant, he raised his head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"You haven't been out for a while, and the outside world has already spread that Mr. Lin is going to poach Aaron. Now Jiahe is facing a big enemy."

Shi Nansheng's words are not difficult to understand. Now that Jiahe is in need of help, if Tsui Hark is driven away or left idle, it will definitely not be a good thing for them.
