Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"I didn't expect it would turn out like this in the end."

Even if Lin Daoqiu doesn't pay attention to Chow Yun-fat's affairs, it's hard not to know about it.

When the news came out that Xiangjiang Cinema had banned him, Lin Daoqiu quickly learned about it.

If Chow Yun-fat still wants to film in Hong Kong, then no film company except New Oriental would dare to take him in.

But it was because of Chen Yulian's relationship that Chow Yun-fat was unwilling to join Lin Daoqiu's New Oriental.

As for Chow Yun-fat, Lin Daoqiu is not in a hurry to get him, and first lets him settle down for a year.

And based on Lin Daoqiu's understanding of Chow Yun-fat, he probably won't give in to TVB.

"I have contacted Qiuguan, but his attitude is still very hesitant."

Following Lin Daoqiu's instructions, Huang Xizhao had already spoken with Zheng Shaoqiu on the phone and expressed his wish to invite him to join Oriental TV.

Zheng Shaoqiu was very grateful to Huang Xizhao for the invitation, but he still seemed very hesitant about joining.

After all, the confrontation between Dongfang and TVB is now well known to everyone. If he switches to Dongfang to help deal with TVB, wouldn't he be called a bastard?

"Let's talk slowly. I believe Qiu Guan can clearly see who will win in the future between Dongfang and TVB."

After all, I have just joined Oriental TV. In the past few years, Oriental TV has occasionally performed well, but generally it has been suppressed by TVB.

Now if you want to sign Zheng Shaoqiu immediately, you will probably have to spend a large sum of money in signing bonus.

Lin Daoqiu really wanted to get Zheng Shaoqiu and Shen Dianxia into his pocket, but if the money spent was too much, he would definitely not be able to accept it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I will handle this matter as soon as possible. I believe Qiu Guan is also a smart man."

Huang Xizhao is not worried that Zheng Shaoqiu will refuse Oriental TV's invitation, but their current offer may not be enough to attract him.

After talking about Cheng Shaoqiu, the next thing to talk about is the other cast and crew members of Wireless.

"I have sent people to contact the producers Li Tiansheng, Xiao Sheng, Zhao Zhenqiang, Gan Guoliang, Li Huimin and Qiu Jiaxiong. They are not very resistant to joining Oriental TV."

In addition to actors, directors and producers are also very important in a TV series.

If we can lure them all to Oriental TV, it will definitely be a big blow to TVB.

"Li Tiansheng, Zhao Zhenqiang, Gan Guoliang, Li Huimin, Qiu Jiaxiong and others will be dealt with as soon as possible. As for Xiao Sheng, forget it."

Lin Daoqiu didn't have a good impression of Xiao Sheng.

Lin Daoqiu had worked with Xiao Sheng when the TV station was still named Li.

Although Lin Daoqiu couldn't say he disliked this dear friend, he really wasn't very interested in the idea of ​​poaching him back.

Huang Xizhao felt that the reason why Lin Daoqiu excluded Xiao Sheng was that something unpleasant happened between him and Lin Daoqiu when Xiao Sheng first joined Li's.

Lin Daoqiu was originally going to film "The Swordsman", but because Dongfang Invincible was changed to be played by a woman, Jin Yong did not allow them to film the film.

Later, Lin Daoqiu wanted to write a martial arts novel to film, but Xiao Sheng insisted on adapting the famous work. The two did not reach an agreement and ultimately could not cooperate.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Lin Daoqiu still cared so much about Xiao Sheng.

"What is Manager Huang thinking about?"

Lin Daoqiu found that after he finished speaking, Huang Xizhao was in a daze without saying a word.

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's question, Huang Xizhao suddenly woke up.

"No...it's nothing. I just suddenly remembered something. Since Mr. Lin has decided this way, I will immediately arrange for someone to follow up."

Huang Xizhao was startled. He did not dare to mention Xiao Sheng's matter in front of Lin Daoqiu.

Since the other party is Lin Daoqiu's unpopular person, he will naturally be cut off from Oriental TV. After all, who gave this TV station the last name Lin?

In addition to the producers and directors, the only ones left to be poached from TVB are the actors.

"Those people discussed before can't be helped. The remaining young actors are the targets we should pay attention to."

In Lin Daoqiu's view, Andy Lau and the others represent the future. As long as they are poached, Oriental TV's ratings will be guaranteed within at least five years.

But the problem now is that even if Lin Daoqiu wants to poach them, it will be very difficult.

After all, as soon as the news of Lin Daoqiu taking over Oriental TV came out, TVB responded immediately.

At this time, everyone at TVB began to renew contracts with actors. The purpose was to prevent Oriental TV from successfully poaching actors.

Although Lin Daoqiu can forcefully dig out the company, the problem is that he will have to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages.

"I have already checked with someone. Andy Lau, Miao Qiaowei, Huang Rihua, and Tang Zhenye are being persuaded to sign a new contract, but they seem to be resistant to it."

After Lin Daoqiu heard what Huang Xizhao said, he immediately raised his head.

At the beginning, Andy Lau and several others fought against the TVB contract, which led to the breakup.

I didn't expect that this event would happen so quickly in this life. It seems that it may be caused by the influence of my own butterfly effect.

"This matter is quite interesting. My entry into Oriental TV led to such big changes in TVB. Continue."

Huang Xizhao nodded, and then he continued.

"Andy Lau doesn't want to sign a long-term contract. It seems that he is still very resistant. The attitude of the other three people is more or less the same as him."

In addition to Andy Lau and the other four, there is also Tony Leung who has just graduated from the wireless training class.

However, given his qualifications, there is no talk of contract renewal now. After all, after coming out of the training class, the company's favorite people will sign a contract of at least five years.

"It seems that Andy is very smart. If he really signs a five-year long-term contract, he may have to sell himself to TVB in the future."

Lin Daoqiu did not want Andy Lau to sign this long-term contract. If he really signed it, he would have to stay with TVB until 1990.

What you need to know is that the period from now to the early 1990s will be the most prosperous period for the Hong Kong film industry. It would be such a waste if you have been filming TV series for TVB during this period.

"If we approach Andy Lau and the others now, it will still be difficult to buy them from Fang Yihua. After all, their contract still has more than a year left."

What Huang Xizhao was worried about was not the money issue, but that Fang Yihua would not let him go when the time came.

As for Huang Xizhao's concern, Lin Daoqiu didn't think it was a big problem.

"I will find someone to handle these matters personally. You should worry more about Qiuguan and Feijie."

It seems that this time Lin Daoqiu plans to take action personally.
