Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Neither He Guanchang nor Cen Jianxun could get a satisfactory answer from Lin Daoqiu.

This trip to see Lin Daoqiu basically yielded nothing. The only thing that was certain was that Lin Daoqiu was not very friendly to them.

But actually it's quite normal when you think about it. After all, Lin Daoqiu is about to dominate the Hong Kong film industry, but he's only just one step away from doing so.

As a result, they teamed up with Uncle Liu to deal with him and came up with the "Hong Kong Film Management Act". It was strange that Lin Daoqiu was in a good mood.

After leaving New Oriental, neither He Guanchang nor Cen Jianxun seemed to be in high spirits.

On the way back, Cen Jianxun and He Guanchang were riding in the same car, and he mentioned the incident again.

"Mr. He, Lin Daoqiu's attitude has become very obvious. There is absolutely no possibility of cooperation between us and him. I think the most important thing now is to speed up the establishment of a special effects company."

Although the overseas agency rights are managed by Li Maowen, Shun Jianxun does not believe that Lin Daoqiu can cover the sky with one hand and suppress the sale of their movies.

If this is really the case then, Dibao and Jiahe will naturally not sit still and wait for death.

The most Lin Daoqiu can do is to squeeze their time and let their movie be sold a few months later. This is the limit that Shun Jianxun believes Lin Daoqiu can achieve.

The way to close the gap with New Oriental now is to quickly establish special effects film companies. As long as they have special effects technology, they don't have to worry about not being able to make special effects movies.

"I want to know how much money Di Bao is willing to spend to build this special effects company."

He Guanchang also knew this truth, but what he wanted to know was how much money Di Bao was willing to pay.

"According to what Uncle Liu said before, the purchase price of theater chains will be 20% higher than the market price. Dibao can probably be sold for more than 300 million. On this basis, Mr. Pan is willing to add another 100 million."

Pan Disheng is willing to invest more than 400 million to build this special effects film company, which is really beyond He Guanchang's expectation.

"In addition to Di Bao, Mr. Liao of Success Cinemas also plans to join. He is willing to invest 100 million Hong Kong dollars to participate in this plan."

Liao Junhao was willing to join this plan, which He Guanchang did not expect.

But if you think about it carefully, it is probably because of Lin Daoqiu's relationship that Liao Junhao is willing to invest money. The purpose is to deal with New Oriental and prevent Lin Daoqiu from becoming dominant.

"In this case, Golden Harvest is willing to provide 500 million Hong Kong dollars, a total of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars to establish this film special effects company."

This special effects company must be established. If Jiahe still wants to gain a foothold in the Hong Kong film industry and get rid of Lin Daoqiu's control, it must establish this special effects company.

When Cen Jianxun heard this, he immediately beamed. As long as this plan is implemented smoothly, a second film special effects company will be born in Hong Kong in the future.

From now on, they don't need to look at Lin Daoqiu's face, and they don't need to hire foreign special effects teams at high prices.

…………

A week later, Jiahe and Dibao jointly sent invitations to the news media in Xiangjiang and invited them to the Peninsula Hotel to attend a press conference held by the two companies.

Although there have been some rumors before, most people don't know what the two film companies are going to announce at this time.

"Welcome to this press conference. Let's invite Mr. Zou Wenhuai and Mr. Pan Disheng to meet you..."

As soon as the host finished speaking, Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng walked out from the side door.

After the two of them walked to the stage and sat down, Zou Wenhuai picked up the microphone.

"Thank you all for coming. The reason why Mr. Pan and I are holding this press conference here today is because we have something very important to announce."

Zou Wenhuai paused, and then continued: "I have been in the film industry for almost thirty years. I watch the development of Hong Kong films becoming more and more prosperous step by step, and I am filled with emotions."

The reporters in the audience listened to Zou Wenhuai's feelings expressed on the stage, but they still wanted to know more about the purpose of holding this press conference today.

After chatting for a few words, Zou Wenhuai finally turned to the main topic.

"In order to better serve Hong Kong films, Golden Harvest and Dibao decided to invest one billion Hong Kong dollars to establish the second film special effects company in Hong Kong."

When Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, there was a burst of noise at the scene, and everyone was frightened by Zou Wenhuai's words.

Golden Harvest and Dibao were actually willing to invest one billion Hong Kong dollars to develop special effects for the movie. This was something that no one present could have imagined.

Although there were rumors circulating before that the purpose of Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng's press conference today was related to the special effects company, but no one knew the specific amount.

Some people say tens of millions, some say hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions, but no one has predicted the number of one billion.

After Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, it was immediately time for reporters to ask questions.

"Mr. Zou, I would like to ask if Jiahe and Dibao established this film special effects company to deal with New Oriental and Magic Studio?"

"I heard that the promotion of the "Hong Kong Film Management Act" was initiated by Golden Harvest and Dibao together to deal with New Oriental. Is this true, Mr. Zou?"

"Mr. Pan, according to Bagua Zhang Ai Weekly, the reason why you and Lin Daoqiu are antagonistic is because Miss Michelle Yeoh switched to New Oriental. Is this true?"

Obviously, reporters don't have much interest in this billion-dollar film special effects company.

What they are most interested in are the rumors between Zou Wenhuai, Pan Disheng and Lin Daoqiu. These are the things that readers want to see most.

"That's wrong. This special effects company was founded to better serve Hong Kong movies, not to deal with anyone. Please don't make any assumptions."

"As for the promotion of the Hong Kong Film Management Act, neither Golden Harvest nor Dibao knew about it in advance, and we don't have that much energy to order the Hong Kong government to do anything, so the things you just asked are all based on speculation."

After Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Pan Disheng next to him.

"I haven't read the reports in gossip magazines. As for Miss Michelle Yeoh, when I first met her, I thought she was very elegant, so I invited her to Hong Kong to shoot a commercial. As for inviting her to film a movie, it was Brother Hong's idea and it had nothing to do with me.

.”

No matter how much Pan Disheng hated Lin Daoqiu in his heart, he would not be able to show the slightest bit in front of reporters.

"Don't make random reports without proof. If those gossip weekly magazines continue to write random stories, I won't rule out suing them for spreading rumors."

When Pan Disheng said this, his serious expression was photographed by reporters.
