Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 919

Fu Sheng and Wang Yu had to separate.

For Lin Daoqiu, the only solution now is to transfer Wang Yu to Baodao to film.

As long as they don't get together, they won't go racing.

For Wang Yu, he originally had a wonderful life, but because of Fu Sheng's incident and the suspension of Shaw's production, he changed from a big star to an ordinary person.

Coupled with those messy things, Wang Yu's life fell directly into the abyss.

So whether it was for Fu Sheng or Wang Yu, Lin Daoqiu had to separate them.

Asking Fang Jinsheng to call Li Maowen, Lin Daoqiu found a secluded place and planned to tell him something.

"Mr. Lin, you are looking for me."

Not long after, Li Maowen was brought in front of Lin Daoqiu by Fang Jinsheng.

"I plan to open a branch in Baodao. You pick some people to go there, and remember to add Wang Yu."

Li Maowen didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to call him, talking about opening a branch in Baodao.

You must know that before this, Lin Daoqiu had never mentioned that he wanted to open a branch in Baodao.

I don't know if it was Lin Daoqiu's temporary idea, or he had this plan before.

However, it is not a strange thing for a film company to open a branch in Baodao, so Li Maowen nodded and agreed without thinking too much.

As for why Lin Daoqiu added Wang Yu to it, this is not something Li Maowen needs to care about.

All he has to do now is to follow Lin Daoqiu's instructions to get things done, and he doesn't need to worry about other issues.

After sending Wang Yu to Treasure Island, Lin Daoqiu believed that Fu Sheng shouldn't have too many problems in the short term.

If this still can't save Fu Sheng's life, then I can say that it's really all right.

"Mr. Lin, who do you plan to appoint as the branch manager?"

Li Maowen didn't dare to make a decision on his own. He didn't think he had that much power as the person in charge of New Oriental's branch in Baodao.

And Lin Daoqiu was just a temporary idea, he never thought about who would be in charge of New Oriental's business in Baodao.

So when Li Maowen asked such a question, Lin Daoqiu suddenly became silent.

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Li Maowen and asked him back.

"I think Ms. Zhang Aijia is more suitable for this position."

The reason why Li Maowen had this idea was because Zhang Aijia was from Baodao, and she had a better understanding of the situation there.

Moreover, Zhang Aijia's contacts and resources in Baodao are very deep, so it is a good choice for her to be in charge of New Oriental's business in Baodao.

In fact, in the last life, in 1983, Zhang Aijia succeeded Yu Kanping as the director of the New Art City Baodao branch.

Under her planning, a blockbuster movie like "Hitch the Wrong Car" was made.

However, she later released literary films such as "Child with a Sword", "On and Off Stage", and "A Day on the Beach", but the response was mediocre, and she failed to win the support of New Art City. She resigned as the director the following year.

Generally speaking, if Zhang Aijia is appointed as the general manager of New Oriental's branch in Taiwan, I am afraid that a large number of local literary and artistic films will be born from her hands.

If you want to make money from these movies, it can be said that it is basically delusional.

But for Lin Daoqiu, he can still afford this small amount of money, after all, it is not a waste of money to make a literary film.

It would be a good thing for the film industry if a few high-quality films can be produced.

"Let's do this for now, I'll talk to her tomorrow."

Since Zhang Aijia was to be the general manager of the Baodao branch, Lin Daoqiu naturally couldn't let Li Maowen talk to her about it.

However, Lin Daoqiu prefers to let her be the director rather than the general manager. After all, it is not a good thing to give her too much power if no one hinders her.

The next day, Lin Daoqiu asked Zhang Aijia to meet at the teahouse. Although it was okay to discuss business in his office, Lin Daoqiu felt that it was too formal and not good.

Pushing open the door of the box and walking in from the outside, Zhang Aijia found that Lin Daoqiu was the only one in the box.

Because the two had spent an unusual night before, Zhang Aijia would inevitably start to think wildly.

"I invite you to drink tea today because I want to ask your opinion on something."

Lin Daoqiu knew from Zhang Aijia's expression that she must have misunderstood the purpose of inviting her here, so he quickly explained.

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Zhang Aijia breathed a sigh of relief.

If the other party really has some unusual thoughts about her, she doesn't know whether to refuse or agree to the other party.

After all, the two of them have already had that kind of thing before, and it seems inappropriate if they refuse.

"I don't know what Mr. Lin wants from me?"

Zhang Aijia deliberately chose the chair opposite Lin Daoqiu to sit down, as if she wanted to distance herself from him.

"New Oriental plans to set up a branch in Baodao. I would like to ask you to be the director of the branch."

Zhang Aijia just sat down, when she heard what Lin Daoqiu said, she had a puzzled expression on her face.

She didn't understand why Lin Daoqiu came to her, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Aijia felt that Lin Daoqiu's choice seemed to be right.

"Just because I'm from Baodao?"

Zhang Aijia asked curiously, she felt that the main reason why Lin Daoqiu chose her was probably because of this reason.

Lin Daoqiu shook his head.

"Of course it's not just because of this. I'm not so casual. After all, I'm also the director of a branch company, and I have a lot of power in my hands."

Zhang Aijia nodded while listening. In her opinion, Lin Daoqiu is not the kind of person who makes such a decision casually.

"Mr. Lin, the types of movies that audiences like in Baodao are different from those in Xiangjiang. If you want to set up a branch in Baodao, you have to do as the Romans do."

Lin Daoqiu's films in Xiangjiang, as long as the box office is good enough, they will definitely make a lot of money if they are screened in Baodao.

But if Lin Daoqiu thinks that applying Xiangjiang's model to Baodao can be successful, Zhang Aijia has to pour cold water on him first.

"Don't worry, Ms. Zhang, I have seriously considered it before, and I think you are the best candidate to be the director of the Baodao branch."

Zhang Aijia didn't know whether what Lin Daoqiu said was true or false, but Zhang Aijia was still very happy to be praised by the other party.

"It's not impossible if Mr. Lin wants me to be the director of the Baodao branch, but I hope to get New Oriental's strong support by then."

Zhang Aijia thought, since Lin Daoqiu took the initiative to ask her for help, she had to bargain hard with the other party. At least in the future, she had to fight for more resources for the colleagues in Baodao.
