Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Originally, in the previous life, a Xiangjiang Performing Arts Academy would be established in Hong Kong in 1984.

But because Lin Daoqiu disturbed the relationship between time and space, the Hong Kong Performing Arts Academy was not established.

You must know that there is a big difference between running a school and opening an artist training class.

First of all, in terms of procedures, it must first go through multiple approval procedures by the Hong Kong government.

As for opening an artist training class, Lin Daoqiu can do it with just one sentence.

Secondly, there is also a huge difference in cost.

However, for Lin Daoqiu, he could acquire a private school and set up the college first, and the construction of the new school could be carried out at the same time without wasting his time.

Otherwise, if we complete all the procedures and then start buying land to build a school, I am afraid it will take at least three to five years to open the college.

To run a school, Lin Daoqiu naturally had to start communicating with people at the top. On this day, he invited Carroll, an official from the Education Department, out for coffee.

"Mr. Lin, thank you very much for your donation of 10 million to the Education Department last time. We will definitely use this money properly."

Since this year, Lin Daoqiu has generously started donating money to different units of the Hong Kong government, and has also won several honorary titles.

Doing this is nothing more than accumulating reputation for yourself and having more contact with the upper echelons of the Hong Kong government. It is no wonder that so many people in later generations like to donate money when they have nothing to do. This is the reason why.

"Mr. Carroll, you're welcome. As a citizen of Xiangjiang, if you can let me do my little bit, I'll be very happy. You don't need to thank me."

Lin Daoqiu smiled and shook his head, looking very humble.

This was Carol's second meeting with Lin Daoqiu. In fact, the two of them were not familiar with each other. It was just that Carol had met Lin Daoqiu and chatted for a while during the last donation, that's all.

"Mr. Carroll, actually I asked you out today because I want to ask your help for something."

When Carroll heard this, he was a little surprised, because he didn't know how he could help Lin Daoqiu. After all, the things managed by the Education Department had almost nothing to do with movies.

"As the most prosperous film market in Asia, Hong Kong does not have an academy related to acting. I think this is very inappropriate."

Lin Daoqiu directly pointed out the purpose of inviting Carol out for coffee today.

Carol nodded while listening. Xiangjiang Films can be said to dominate Asia at this time and are very influential in the world. "Godzilla" alone set a record for the highest box office in the history of world movies.

"Mr. Lin is right. This matter must be taken seriously. I will report your proposal to the higher ups and hope to come up with a result as soon as possible."

Carroll's official language was very relaxed. Even if he immediately conveyed Lin Daoqiu's words to the senior officials of the Hong Kong government, I'm afraid it would take them at least a long time to discuss and come up with a result.

And even if they come to a conclusion after their discussion, it will be almost impossible for them to come up with the money to build a school of this size.

Lin Daoqiu didn't have so much time to waste on this, he just shook his head and said.

"Mr. Carroll misunderstood me. I meant that I planned to establish a Hong Kong Performing Arts Academy myself."

Lin Daoqiu wanted to run the school himself. This was something Carol did not expect. However, if this school was founded and managed by Lin Daoqiu, it would indeed be a very good thing.

After all, the other party is a world-renowned filmmaker, and his knowledge of film must be richer than others. There is no doubt about this.

"Mr. Lin, have you brought the plan?"

Running a school is not something you can just say in one sentence and the other person nods. Lin Daoqiu first needs to prepare a plan and submit it to the Education Department. After the other party reads it, it will be submitted to the Hong Kong government for discussion.

After they discussed and approved the plan, Lin Daoqiu could start running the school.

"I brought it, Mr. Carroll, please take a look."

Lin Daoqiu had someone make a very complete plan, which he had prepared before coming to see Carol.

Taking the plan handed over by Lin Daoqiu, Carol read it briefly.

"Invest one billion Hong Kong dollars in the next five years..."

From this plan, Carroll saw Lin Daoqiu's determination to build the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts into one of the most famous film schools in the world.

After a while, Carol closed the plan in his hand. Although most of it was filled with ideas and plans, Carol believed that with Lin Daoqiu's ability, he would be able to accomplish what was described in the plan as long as he was given time.

of everything.

"Mr. Lin, I will personally hand over this plan to the senior management tomorrow and give you an answer as soon as possible."

Carol thinks this is a good thing. After all, there is no need for the Hong Kong government to pay. Lin Daoqiu bears all the expenses himself. This is of course the best thing.

"Then please leave it to Mr. Carroll."

…………

"Lin Daoqiu wants to start a school?"

The news that Lin Daoqiu wanted to open a school spread quickly.

I don’t know whether the news came from the Education Department or the Hong Kong government, but Lin Daoqiu’s plan to open a film acting academy has become a big event in the Hong Kong film circle.

Originally, Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng thought that they would just set up an actors' association to attract actors from Hong Kong, and then try to get them to join Jiahe and Dibao.

As long as this is done, Lin Daoqiu's influence in the Hong Kong film industry will become weaker and weaker.

Even once Garbo's special effects come into play, Lin Daoqiu's advantage in Xiangjiang will be gone.

But what they didn't expect was that Lin Daoqiu would choose to run a school at this time, which could be said to be beyond the expectations of Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng.

"Mr. Lin's move is really wonderful. Once he establishes this film school, all the people who graduate from this school will become his disciples. How can we compete with him?"

Pan Disheng believed that he could see at a glance Lin Daoqiu's purpose of running the school, which was to use this film school to control Hong Kong's future performing arts resources in his own hands.

"Mr. Zou, is there any way to stop him?"

Pan Di was anxious. Once this plan was approved by Lin Daoqiu, there would be big trouble.

Zou Wenhuai was actually very clear about Pan Disheng's concerns, but he was completely powerless to stop Lin Daoqiu from running the school.

At this moment, He Guanchang on the side suddenly said.

"It is impossible to stop it. I think the only thing that can be done at the moment is to minimize the harm of this matter..."

Pan Disheng didn't understand what He Guanchang meant, but it sounded like he had already thought of some good solution.
