Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

With the vigorous spread of the news by the directors and screenwriters who attended the meeting that day, the news about the Performing Arts Association spread throughout the Hong Kong film industry within a few days.

At first, when everyone heard that Lin Daoqiu was going to establish the Performing Arts Association, they subconsciously thought that his move was for Sammo Hung's Actors Guild.

But after they listened carefully, the first reaction of most people was shock.

Lin Daoqiu is so generous that he wants to mobilize the cast and crew of the Hong Kong film industry, and he will not restrict which company they film for.

You must know that what they were most familiar with before this was the confrontation between Xiangjiang Cinema Line and Baocheng Cinema Line.

If we move forward in time, there will still be a battle between Jiahe and Shaw Brothers.

At that time, the two opposing parties would never let their own actors film for another film company.

When Lin Daoqiu was filming "Master Qian", he had a double screening. When the news came out, the entire Hong Kong film and television industry was shocked. It was the most shocking news of the year in the Hong Kong film industry.

.

Unexpectedly, seven years later, Lin Daoqiu would make another big news. If he made this happen, it would definitely be a blessing to the Hong Kong film industry.

But many people are also worried about whether Lin Daoqiu is telling the truth or lies.

At the same time, in the conference room of Jiabao Company, six people, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Pan Disheng, Cen Jianxun, Liao Junhao and Sammo Hung, were sitting together.

They had also heard about Lin Daoqiu's intention to establish a performing arts association.

"Are there any exchanges? I think Lin Daoqiu basically wants to rely on his prestige in the Hong Kong film industry to get all the cast and crew over, and then completely ban us. Hmm...his appetite is really not small."

Pan Disheng obviously didn't believe that Lin Daoqiu would be so generous and engage in exchanges. He was basically plotting against Chen Cang. After all those people joined the Performing Arts Association, he started to make small moves.

Moreover, combined with Lin Daoqiu's recent plans to open a performing arts academy, the combination of the two makes his wolfish ambitions obvious.

"We must stop him this time, otherwise Lin Daoqiu will be unstoppable in the Hong Kong film industry in the future."

Shun Jianxun had the same idea as Pan Disheng. He also believed that Lin Daoqiu's actions were to control the Hong Kong film industry.

Once he is allowed to do it, Jiahe and Dibao will probably fall into a very embarrassing situation.

"Guys, I don't think so."

Just when Pan Disheng and Shun Jianxun insisted that they must find every way to prevent Lin Daoqiu from establishing the Performing Arts Association, He Guanchang suddenly expressed his objection.

The other five people at the scene turned their heads to He Guanchang almost at the same time, and no one understood why he would say such a thing.

"To put it bluntly, Mr. Lin actually doesn't pay attention to us at all. His purpose of doing this may sound selfless, but in fact it is just for his own convenience."

Everyone did not understand He Guanchang's words very well, and they all had doubtful looks on their faces.

Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him with doubtful eyes, He Guanchang continued to explain.

"The movies produced by New Art City and New Art City in recent years have always been the best-selling, not to mention that Lin Daoqiu still has Magic Studio in his hands. Originally, their film output was not much, and Lin Daoqiu even dismissed them before.

Some of the actors…”

Although He Guanchang was a little depressed, he continued: "He has all the stars with box office appeal in his hands. As for the leaked ones..."

He was embarrassed to say that these people were a burden, but everyone could clearly hear the meaning of He Guanchang's words.

These people who leaked out have little appeal at the box office, and most of them can only play supporting roles.

As for the free stars on the market, they were not from New Oriental. Because of the conflict between Baocheng Cinemas and Xiangjiang Cinemas, Lin Daoqiu did not approach any of the stars who had collaborated with Baocheng to film with them.

Now that this performing arts association has been established, Lin Daoqiu does not need to worry about what others will say. He can invite anyone he wants. This is definitely a good thing for him.

After listening to what He Guanchang said, Pan Disheng and the others realized that Lin Daoqiu's move was more for himself.

"Mr. Lin is really awesome. I kind of looked down on him before."

Pan Disheng's words did not sound like he respected Lin Daoqiu.

"Then shall we accept the move or not?"

Cen Jianxun asked hurriedly.

Now this problem has been thrown to their side. If they don't accept the move, they will try their best to prevent Lin Daoqiu from establishing this performing arts association, but they can't think of any good way.

"Now that Mr. Lin has made his move, let's just follow up. The Performing Arts Association is indeed benefiting the Hong Kong film industry, and it is much easier for us to find actors, not to mention..."

When Zou Wenhuai said this, he suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. Lin still has those top stars in his hands. I want to see if his exchange is true or false."

Golden Harvest currently only has Xu Guanwen and Li Yuanba, two stars who can hold up the box office.

As for Jet Li, he is still recuperating in LA. According to the doctor, it will take at least half a year to recuperate, so naturally he cannot be counted among them.

On the other hand, Lin Daoqiu, the seven members of Xinyi City, plus Jackie Chan and Brigitte Lin, and many outstanding stars, if they can invite Jiahe to film, Zou Wenhuai will naturally be very happy.

"Yes, yes, since Mr. Lin wants to communicate with each other, I would like to see if he is telling the truth or lies."

Liao Junhao has lost his successful theater chain, and now he is only a shareholder of Garbo Special Effects Film Company.

Liao Junhao's hatred for Lin Daoqiu was definitely no less than Pan Di's, not to mention that Liao Kuncheng hated Lin Daoqiu with gnashing of teeth, but he could never find a way to deal with Lin Daoqiu.

"What if Mr. Lin asks us to film a movie? Can I refuse then?"

At this moment, Sammo Hung suddenly asked about his worries.

They wanted to find Jackie Chan and Brigitte Lin to film a movie. If Lin Daoqiu approached him and Yuan Biao, would he refuse or agree?

Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng didn't think much about Sammo Hung's concerns. After all, at first they thought Lin Daoqiu was faking it, and it was definitely not true.

But after what He Guanchang said, they now had to start thinking about this issue seriously.

But if they calculate it carefully, if Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are replaced by Long and Brigitte Lin, it is already clear in their minds how to go about this transaction, and they are afraid that Lin Daoqiu is not willing.
