Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

For Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, the person they least want to meet in Xiangjiang is Lin Daoqiu.

Although they have left New Oriental for a long time, unlike ordinary job-hopping and resignation, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao directly transferred to New Oriental's rival Dibao.

Moreover, over the years, they have been secretly fighting with Lin Daoqiu Ming, and the relationship between the two parties can be said to be very bad.

Before the establishment of the New Xiangjiang Cinema Line, Lin Daoqiu was almost on the verge of defeating Di Bao. If Uncle Liu hadn't teamed up with Zou Wenhuai, Pan Disheng and others to cause trouble, Di Bao would have been in danger by now.

But even if it is known to everyone that New Oriental and Dibao will not deal with it, once they encounter it, it will not cause any tense situation.

"Mr. Lin..."

Sammo Hung led Yuan Biao to Lin Daoqiu, and then respectfully called Mr. Lin.

Looking at Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao in front of him, Lin Daoqiu felt somewhat helpless.

When I recruited them from Jiahe to New Oriental, I originally wanted to train them well so that Xiangjiang's Kung Fu could go global.

However, Sammo Hung and James Shum were taken away by Pan Disheng, along with Yuen Biao. This was tantamount to poaching away the few top kung fu stars in his possession.

If they were still in New Oriental, a series of movies such as "Tomb Raiders" would definitely be starred by them.

But it is a pity that it is impossible for them to look back now. I am afraid that they will not really understand what choice to make until the day Dibao collapses.

"Good afternoon you two, do you want to go back to filming?"

Lin Daoqiu did not show his face to Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao, but looked at them with a smile.

Yuan Biao did not dare to look at Lin Daoqiu, so Sammo Hung did most of the talking.

"I was getting ready to go back to the set for filming, and I happened to meet Mr. Lin here."

Lin Daoqiu suddenly appeared on the set of Ax Mountain Road. This was really something that made both Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao curious.

Because Lin Daoqiu has not been to the Ax Mountain Road studio for filming for a long time.

Moreover, in the near future, Lin Daoqiu's studio in Tseung Kwan O will also be opening. By then, I'm afraid I won't see Lin Daoqiu on the Ax Hill Road studio again.

"The two have developed well in the past few years, and Dibao has been gaining momentum recently. I hope Dibao can continue to do so."

Was Lin Daoqiu just talking casually, or was he speaking sarcastically in front of them?

I am afraid that among those in Xiangjiang who hope that Dibao will go bankrupt, Lin Daoqiu is definitely one of the people on the list, and he is also one of the top ones.

Sammo Hung believed that Lin Daoqiu wished Dibao would close down soon, so that by then there would be no rivals for New Oriental in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Lin is right. Dibao's recent momentum is really strong, and we are already preparing to open a branch in Hanguo to further expand Dibao's film market."

It is no longer news that Di Bao wants to open a branch in Hanguo. Sammo Hung said this just to let Lin Daoqiu know that Di Bao will never decline easily and will have great potential in the future.

"Oh... I've heard about this before. I didn't expect that Dibao's actions would go abroad. It's really gratifying. In the future, it seems that we will not only compete in Hong Kong, but also in overseas markets.

It’s time to compare.”

Lin Daoqiu never worried about Dibao's influence on him from beginning to end. Although the movies they produced were considered excellent, they were really incomparable to those produced by New Oriental.

Not to mention overseas markets, even in Hong Kong, they have no chance of surpassing New Oriental. As long as they are not lazy, Dibao will never succeed in Hong Kong.

"We don't dare to compare with Mr. Lin, we just want to do our best for Hong Kong Film."

Sammo Hung spoke very modestly, but he also knew very well that Dibao's reputation today, whether in Hong Kong or internationally, is far from being comparable to Lin Daoqiu and his New Oriental.

All they can do is let Di Bao survive until the day New Oriental and Lin Daoqiu decline, but they just don't know if they have the patience to wait for this day.

"Actually, we are all the same. We are all working hard for Xiangjiang Movies. Since you two are going back to filming, I will not stop you. I wish you a great box office success."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he nodded to the two of them and left directly.

After watching Lin Daoqiu go away, Sammo Hung suddenly heard Yuan Biao sigh softly.

Sammo Hung turned his head and glanced at the other party, but he didn't ask anything because he knew why Yuan Biao sighed.

"We and Mr. Lin are no longer on the same journey. Don't think so much and go back to filming."

Patting Yuan Biao on the shoulder, Sammo Hung was quite open to this.

…………

"Mr. Lin, Director Liao is here."

The next day, when Lin Daoqiu was working in the office, Liao Xiangxiong visited again.

You don’t need to guess to know that Liao Xiangxiong’s visit this time must be about the incident last time.

"Invite him in."

Not long after Lin Daoqiu put down his pen, Fang Jinsheng walked in from the door with Liao Xiangxiong.

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, but I apologize for taking the liberty of visiting again."

If it weren't for Li Zhengnan's relationship, Liao Xiangxiong really didn't want to see Lin Daoqiu, because the other party was really not an easy person to communicate with.

"Director Liao, you're welcome. Even if nothing happens, I welcome you to come and have tea and chat with me. After all, we have made a movie together."

Liao Xiangxiong wondered how I could fly all the way from Treasure Island to Xiangjiang to come and have tea and chat with you. I don’t have that much time.

However, he could only think about it in his heart and would never say it in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin, I don't know how you have considered what I told you last time."

At that time, Lin Daoqiu had already rejected Liao Xiangxiong, but he seemed not to remember the matter and even made a special trip to ask Lin Daoqiu today.

"Director Liao, I answered you very clearly last time. If you need my help, it's no problem, but you have to cash in the previous IOU, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to help."

Lin Daoqiu didn't care what the other party said, he was going to kill him anyway, so if he wanted his help, he would give him a TV station license in Baodao.

But if things were really that simple, Liao Xiangxiong wouldn't be as gloomy as he is now. After all, Lin Daoqiu's request was so difficult that even Li Zhengnan was helpless.

Looking at Lin Daoqiu with an embarrassed look, Liao Xiangxiong did not expect that Lin Daoqiu would still have this attitude, which made him not know how to persuade him.

However, Li Zhengnan himself had already promised to get this matter done, which made Liao Xiangxiong so worried that he almost cried on the spot.
