Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

When Fang Yihua returned to Run Run Shaw's villa, she told him the whole process of meeting Lin Daoqiu.

Originally, Fang Yihua was worried that Run Run Shao would be unhappy after hearing this.

"Lin Daoqiu is a self-righteous guy. I think we should think of other ways."

Fang Yihua didn't think he could convince Lin Daoqiu, because apart from money, they really had nothing to impress the other party.

But at this moment, Run Run Shaw suddenly smiled, then looked at Fang Yihua and asked her.

"If you think about it carefully, if you really wanted to reject someone, would you still say so much to them?"

When Fang Yihua heard this, his eyes seemed to be frozen and he could not move.

"You mean that Lin Daoqiu doesn't really want to refuse, but is hesitating?"

Run Run Shaw smiled and nodded.

If Lin Daoqiu really didn't want to cooperate, he wouldn't have said this at all, but since he said it, it means that he must have this idea in his heart.

Moreover, it is obvious that Lin Daoqiu is short of money. No matter how good he is in making movies, it is impossible for every movie to be like "Godzilla".

In addition, it will take at least three to four years to make a "Godzilla" movie. Can Lin Daoqiu afford to wait? He has to make at least three "Godzilla" movies to get the money to buy MGM.

"Although I don't know what he is thinking, one thing is for sure, that is, he really wants to buy MGM, otherwise he will never hesitate."

Run Run Shaw said this with certainty, and Fang Yihua nodded repeatedly.

In fact, Run Run Shaw's guess was indeed correct. Lin Daoqiu was indeed hesitant to cooperate with Run Run Run Shaw and buy MGM together.

After all, he simply cannot buy MGM with the money he has now, and he will have to wait at least a few years.

If something happens then, we will have to switch our focus to other Hollywood film companies, but those prices are even more outrageous, so now can be said to be the best opportunity.

The reason why he is so entangled is because Lin Daoqiu has become accustomed to eating alone in the past few years, especially in the Hollywood market, where he has become accustomed to taking the lion's share.

If he cooperates with Shaw to buy MGM, then the other party will get at least half of the shares. Lin Daoqiu will feel constrained by whatever he has to do.

Therefore, if you want to cooperate with Shaw, you will definitely have the majority of MGM's shares and have absolute control, but will the other party agree to your request?

And just a few days after Lin Daoqiu and Fang Yihua met, something happened that Lin Daoqiu could not have expected before.

The crew of "Goodbye Seven Days of Love" announced the list of actors. When he saw Wang Zuxian's name, Lin Daoqiu was completely frightened.

Wang Zuxian actually went to Baocheng Cinema to act in "Goodbye Seven Days of Love". What's going on?

In fact, what Lin Daoqiu didn't know was that the previous version of "Goodbye Seven Days of Love" originally starred Wang Zuxian, but the male lead was changed from Er Dongsheng to Chen Baiqiang.

Looking at the list of "Goodbye Seven Days of Love", Lin Daoqiu kept frowning in the office.

I actually missed Wang Zuxian, which is simply an unforgivable thing.

Lin Daoqiu quickly picked up the phone and called Fang Jinsheng into his office.

After entering the room, Fang Jinsheng had just stood firm when Lin Daoqiu said to him directly.

"Go check the address of this girl named Wang Zuxian."

Lin Daoqiu pointed to the newspaper on the table.

Fang Jinsheng quickly picked up the newspaper and took a look and found that the other party was actually the heroine of "Goodbye Seven Days of Love".

Although full of doubts, Fang Jinsheng immediately nodded in agreement, then turned around to check.

…………

"Thunder Monkey, Wo Hai Wang Zuxian... shouldn't..."

At noon, Wang Zuxian had just returned from the Cantonese training class and was learning Cantonese at home, while Wang's mother was cooking lunch in the room.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house.

Who will come at this time? They don’t know anyone in Xiangjiang.

With doubts, Wang Zuxian walked over and opened the door.

When she opened the door, she found a young man in a suit standing at the door.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Wang Zuxian has never met Lin Daoqiu, so she doesn't know him either.

"My name is Lin Daoqiu, the owner of Xiangjiang Cinemas."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Wang Zuxian with a smile, but there was a hint of excitement in his heart.

This goddess, who would become famous all over Asia in the future, was only eighteen years old at this time. She looked so pure and lovely that Lin Daoqiu was almost stunned.

"The boss of Xiangjiang Cinemas?"

Wang Zuxian was stunned for a moment. Although she had never met Lin Daoqiu, his name was already well known to her ears.

Even though he did not live in Hong Kong before, Lin Daoqiu's movies can be said to be very popular in Baodao. All the movies he has filmed will be released in Baodao, and the box office rate has reached a new high.

Especially this time, "Godzilla" has set off a movie-watching craze in Baodao.

"Are you really Mr. Lin Daoqiulin?"

Wang Zuxian was a little skeptical, because she felt that such a big shot as Lin Daoqiu should be an old man, how could he be a young man.

"Of course it's true. If it's fake, doesn't Miss Wang believe me?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't expect that Wang Zuxian didn't believe him, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Because when he came, Lin Daoqiu thought that as soon as he finished speaking, the other party would immediately believe what he said.

But seeing Wang Zuxian looking at him with suspicion, Lin Daoqiu didn't know what to explain to him.

"Xiao Xian, who is here?"

Mother Wang walked out of the kitchen at this time and saw Wang Zuxian standing at the door as if chatting with someone.

"Mom, he said he is Mr. Lin Daoqiulin, the owner of Xiangjiang Cinemas, but...it doesn't look like him."

Wang Zuxian walked over and explained to Mrs. Wang in a low voice.

"The boss of Xiangjiang Cinemas, Lin Daoqiu? Real or fake? Why would he come to you?"

After hearing what Wang Zuxian said, Mrs. Wang was also shocked.

But then Mother Wang also had a question, how could such a big shot come here to find Wang Zuxian in person? She had just filmed a movie and had no reputation at all.

Lin Daoqiu could vaguely hear Wang Zuxian and his daughter talking about him, and it sounded like they didn't believe it.

He was actually very embarrassed standing at the door. Unlike later generations, he took out his mobile phone and checked online to get the result immediately.

If I had known earlier, I would have brought a celebrity here, which would have resolved this awkward situation.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't want others to know that he was looking for Wang Zuxian, so this farce happened.

"Lin...Mr. Lin?"

Just when Lin Daoqiu was thinking about what to do, a surprised voice suddenly came from his left.
