Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Zou Wenhuai and the others are really unwilling to give up."

In Li Maowen's office, Fang Jinsheng was chatting with him about the cross-regional alliance of United Cinemas.

Unlike New Oriental, which builds its own cinemas, Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng do not have such great influence overseas.

Moreover, they are reluctant to spend so much money to acquire and build theaters overseas.

Therefore, the only way is to unite the affected film producers and local theaters to form an alliance to compete with New Oriental.

"I can understand them..."

Li Maowen seemed to understand Zou Wenhuai's actions this time.

"If they don't do this, once Mr. Lin's layout of the Asian theater chain is completed, anyone with a little bit of savvy will know which side to stand on."

"And if Mr. Lin directly follows them in the Chu-He-Han world, then I'm afraid there won't be many people willing to show the movie in the United Cinemas. Under such circumstances, their stars may also have to reconsider themselves.

way out.”

A movie can earn hundreds or even tens of millions more if it is placed in New Oriental, but if it is a joint theater, the income will definitely be far less than if it is made in New Oriental.

Under such circumstances, whether it is independent filmmakers or celebrities, I believe they all know what they should choose.

"It's just that five years is a bit too long. It would be great if there was a way to shorten this time."

As Lin Daoqiu's assistant, Fang Jinsheng naturally hoped that the United Cinemas would be established as soon as possible. It would be best for those annoying guys to leave the Hong Kong film industry forever.

It's just that it would be very difficult to realize such a wish. At least in the short term, he really couldn't see any signs of the collapse of United Cinemas.

Even in the future, if United Cinemas relies on twice the number of theaters as New Oriental, it may even overtake New Oriental in terms of box office revenue.

"It's possible to operate on Treasure Island, but the situation in Singapore, Malaysia, Taifeiyin, Neon, and Han Country is more complicated. We can't take over the market in one go."

On the treasure island, Lin Daoqiu has Mu Lian's helpers in the north and Xie Tongyun's forces in the south. It is not impossible to suppress the film producers on the treasure island. It just depends on whether Lin Daoqiu is willing to do it.

.

"Speaking of Baodao's market, I sent people to find out the details of the film producers in the United Cinema Alliance. Can I make some contributions from these people?"

Fang Jinsheng felt that although there was no way to cut off all the cross-regional alliances of United Cinemas at once, if they found a way to get rid of their partners in Baodao, then United Cinemas would lose the Baodao market.

.

Li Maowen would definitely not support Fang Jinsheng's proposal, because such a method is really disgraceful.

However, as the general manager of New Oriental, he has to be responsible for the company, and in order to deal with Lin Daoqiu, they even introduced the "Hong Kong Film Management Act".

Their opponent's methods were very clumsy from the beginning, which made Li Maowen very disdainful.

"Have you mentioned this matter to Mr. Lin?"

Li Maowen wanted to know what Lin Daoqiu's opinion was on this matter.

Fang Jinsheng shook his head. He had not had time to mention this matter to Lin Daoqiu, but based on his understanding of Lin Daoqiu, the other party would not agree to his doing this.

"I think this matter is of great importance. You'd better report it to Mr. Lin as soon as possible. It's better to leave everything to Mr. Lin to decide."

From Li Maowen's point of view, this kind of thing is not something that he, the general manager, and Fang Jinsheng can decide. In the end, it still depends on Lin Daoqiu's wishes.

After hearing what the other party said, Fang Jinsheng could only nodded.

After leaving Li Maowen, Fang Jinsheng came outside Lin Daoqiu's office and knocked on his door.

"What's the matter?"

Lin Daoqiu was sitting in a chair in a daze, and he woke up when he heard Fang Jinsheng's knock on the door.

Fang Jinsheng quickly told Lin Daoqiu everything he had investigated.

"Li Qimai and Xu Zhenchang? I remember that these two people had been doing business buying movies in Xiangjiang. I didn't expect that they also wanted to get involved in the film company's affairs."

Lin Daoqiu actually didn't know much about Li Qimai and Xu Zhenchang. He just remembered hearing about them somewhere.

"Boss, although the cross-regional alliance of United Cinemas is made up of a bunch of bad fish and rotten shrimps, if it is done by them, they may have to survive for a while longer."

Lin Daoqiu could somewhat understand Fang Jinsheng's concerns.

After all, for some time now, New Oriental has been agitated by the "Hong Kong Film Management Act."

Now the "Hong Kong Film Management Act" has finally been repealed. As a result, Zou Wenhuai and others established another joint cinema chain, and it is still struggling there.

"Your worries are not unreasonable. If that's the case, then help me invite Li Qimai and Xu Zhenchang out for a meal."

Fang Jinsheng originally thought that Lin Daoqiu was unlikely to take this matter seriously.

But unexpectedly, Lin Daoqiu went against the norm this time and asked Li Qimai and Xu Zhenchang out for dinner.

Although I don't know if Lin Daoqiu was really convinced by him, but since he is willing to do it, Li Qimai and Xu Zhenchang may be in serious trouble this time.

"I'll make arrangements right away..."

After Fang Jinsheng finished speaking, he immediately smiled and turned around to make arrangements for this meal.

Seeing Fang Jinsheng's delighted expression, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu has always been kind to others in doing things. This has always been the case, and he is rarely willing to take the initiative to make grudges with others.

But this time it was them who came looking for trouble. If this was the case, Lin Daoqiu naturally couldn't be like before. He had to do something to let those people know what can and cannot be done.

.

Soon, Li Qimai and Xu Zhenchang received a call from Fang Jinsheng.

The two people didn't think much and agreed immediately.

But after putting down the phone, Li Qimai began to become nervous. It was Lin Daoqiu who took the initiative to invite them to dinner.

Li Qimai didn't think Lin Daoqiu would be so kind. He must have wanted to talk to them about the United Cinemas issue.

"What should we do now? If Lin Daoqiu really wants to cause trouble for us, what should we do then?"

Looking at Xu Zhenchang beside him, Li Qimai looked nervous.

He had even begun to secretly regret why he had gone out to stir up this muddy water. Now that he had offended Lin Daoqiu, he didn't know how to end it next.
