Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Everyone suddenly turned their attention to Lin Daoqiu.

Shock, horror, and astonishment, Liao Junhao and others almost all had the same expression on their faces, because they never expected that Lin Daoqiu would agree to let the Hong Kong government take over the overseas agency rights.

Before this, no one could have imagined that Lin Daoqiu would support this proposal.

"I think Uncle Liu is right. If overseas agency rights are managed uniformly, we can help small and medium-sized companies and some independent filmmakers to a greater extent and help them sell their films overseas."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he put down his hand. The power of his vote was so powerful that no one spoke for a while.

"Mr. Lin really understands justice."

Run Run Shaw also helped, but when he said these words, he felt as sick as if he had swallowed a fly.

Liao Junhao was completely frightened. Originally, they had thought of teaming up to block the proposal, but now that Lin Daoqiu voted in favor, how could they block it?

"Mr. Foguero, I think this bill should respect the ideas of more people, rather than the opinions of a few individuals..."

Liao Junhao was anxious. He just wanted to get rid of this matter quickly. As for what method he would use and whether he would offend the Hong Kong government, he no longer cared about these.

But it is a pity that Liao Junhao's words were too light, and Fuguero was not willing to pay attention to him at all.

"Are you questioning Mr. Lin and Mr. Shao? Or do you think the Hong Kong government cannot handle this matter well?"

Fuguero looked sideways at Liao Junhao, with a sneer on his face.

With the support of Shaw Run Run and Lin Daoqiu, the Hong Kong government has gained enough initiative in this matter, and these people present are simply unable to resist.

"I have not questioned them, nor will I doubt the Hong Kong government, but I think it would be better to hold a public hearing on this matter and allow more filmmakers and professionals to participate."

Liao Junhao was afraid that Fuguero would settle the matter immediately. If this was the case, it would be equivalent to kicking Success Cinemas out of the Hong Kong film industry.

After all, they came here and spent a lot of money to build a successful theater chain just for the overseas agency rights of Xiangjiang Film.

Once they lose this cornucopia, it will be impossible for Liao Junhao and others to continue to operate cinemas in Hong Kong.

After all, most of the theater chains will be sold to Uncle Liu by then. As long as the movies are not extremely bad, they will be released in new theater chains. Successful theater chains will not be able to get any good film sources at all.

"Mr. Liao, I have reported to my superiors before that the senior management has met to discuss this proposal and agreed that the Electric Power Administration should set up a separate department to be responsible for the overseas agency rights of films produced by Xiangjiang."

Foguero's words almost sealed the matter.

So when Fuguero finished speaking, Liao Junhao leaned heavily on his chair as if struck by lightning.

Before coming, he had never expected that such a situation would occur, and he was completely confused.

As for Liao Junhao's partner Wu Siyuan, although he felt very sad, there was nothing he could do now that the matter had reached this point.

After all, Liu Shu and Lin Daoqiu have both stood up, and together with the Hong Kong government, these three families have stood together. They have no ability to fight back at all. It can be said that the situation has been decided.

Although I don’t know why Lin Daoqiu made such a stupid decision and agreed to hand over the overseas agency rights to the Hong Kong government for operation, this is no longer an issue they need to consider.

Of all the people present, only Zou Wenhuai sensed something different, because Lin Daoqiu was obviously in alliance with Run Run Shaw.

If Lin Daoqiu did not stand up to support Run Run Shaw, then this proposal would definitely not be passed smoothly.

Even if the Hong Kong government has made a decision, if filmmakers like them unite, there is still a way to get the Hong Kong government to take back their lives. But unfortunately, Lin Daoqiu's hand has directly shattered their illusions.

"Mr. Lin, he is indeed a formidable person..."

After the meeting, when Zou Wenhuai stood up, he came over and shook hands with Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Zou, thank you very much. We still have many areas for cooperation. I will ask Mr. Zou for advice when the time comes."

After hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Mr. Zou just smiled and nodded.

He mistakenly thought that the cooperation Lin Daoqiu was talking about was about Magic Studio, but in fact Lin Daoqiu's words had another meaning, but he couldn't say it yet.

As for Liao Junhao, Pan Disheng and others, Lin Daoqiu didn't even look at them and walked out of the meeting room of the Electric Power Management Bureau.

In late March, the first "Hong Kong Film Management Bill", which was making rapid progress, was successfully released. This bill clearly restricts film production companies from owning theater chains at the same time.

After the bill was announced, the Hong Kong government gave those film companies a three-month grace period.

New Oriental, Golden Harvest, and Dibao are obviously the targets of the "Hong Kong Film Management Act."

But what followed was that the Hong Kong government also announced a piece of news that shocked everyone.

"After discussion, the Hong Kong government decided to set up a department in the Electric Power Authority responsible for the overseas distribution of Hong Kong films. In order to better manage this department, Li Maowen, the former general manager of Hong Kong Cinemas, was specially invited to take charge."

As soon as this news came out, the Hong Kong film industry was in an uproar. Everyone never expected that Li Maowen would be in charge of this department, because this was equivalent to handing over the overseas agency rights of Hong Kong films to Lin Daoqiu.

Almost everyone was dumbfounded. Everyone had thought that the overseas agency rights should be handled by Run Run Shaw's people, but how could it fall on Lin Daoqiu?

As soon as the news came out, Pan Disheng immediately invited Zou Wenhuai, Liao Junhao and others to meet.

"Is Uncle Six crazy? Why would he hand over the overseas agency rights to Lin Daoqiu? What exactly does he want to do?"

As soon as everyone sat down, Pandit couldn't help but raise his voice, because he couldn't accept it since he heard the news until now.

"It should be that Run Run Shaw and Lin Daoqiu have reached some agreement and want to kill us all so that they can dominate the world."

Liao Junhao is now so angry that he is almost losing his mind. Run Run Shaw and Lin Daoqiu are simply colluding and working together.

"It's useless to say anything now. The theater chain has been taken away by Uncle Liu, and the overseas agency rights have been taken away by Lin Daoqiu. We are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with no way to survive."

Zou Wenhuai actually didn't want to come to this meeting, but if he didn't come, it would be like giving up completely.

After everyone heard what Zou Wenhuai said, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell into a gloomy mist.
