Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang's guesses were correct. Wu Siyuan also connected with Fei Peng after Run Run Shaw. After all, they had had very unpleasant experiences with Lin Daoqiu before.

Compared to Run Run Shaw, Wu Siyuan paid a heavier price at the hands of Lin Daoqiu.

Since Lin Daoqiu took control of Xiangjiang's film and television industry, Wu Siyuan could only choose to cease operations. His Siyuan Pictures could only operate in a small way and could not produce any blockbuster works.

Although Lin Daoqiu was not involved or revealed in private that he wanted to ban Wu Siyuan, because Wu Siyuan had been enemies with Lin Daoqiu before, ordinary directors and stars did not dare to cooperate with him.

What they were worried about was that if Lin Daoqiu was dissatisfied because of their cooperation with Wu Siyuan, then they would lose a big deal in a small way.

You must know that the film market in Hong Kong is very prosperous at this time. A lot of bosses are holding huge amounts of money to find directors and stars to film movies. As long as the film is of moderate quality, it can earn several times more than before.

If they fall out with Lin Daoqiu at this time, wouldn't they lose a lot of money and their future in vain? This is obviously not cost-effective for these people at all.

As a result, Wu Siyuan gradually became an outcast in the film industry. He could only find some less famous directors and stars to participate in films invested by Siyuan Pictures.

Wu Siyuan has lived through such useless days, and the appearance of Fei Peng at this time is like a ray of light for him.

Even if he still loses to Lin Daoqiu this time, it doesn't make much difference to him. After all, he has no way out. Even if he still loses to Lin Daoqiu this time, his situation will not change.

Worse.

But what if... what if there is a chance to challenge Lin Daoqiu, or even drive him out of office, for Wu Siyuan, that would be something that would make Wu Siyuan laugh out of his dreams.

"I hope that everyone can work together to make their own contribution to the future of Xiangjiang Film. I believe that Chief Peng will also give us his full support here."

Wu Siyuan finished expressing his views. Although the words Lin Daoqiu never came out of his mouth even once, I believe everyone present should have seen who Wu Siyuan criticized on the stage just now.

Today, in addition to the eldest bosses of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, Lin Jianyue, the second son of Lixin Group, also participated in the seminar as a former film and television industry figure.

His seat was just behind Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang. From beginning to end, Lin Jianyue sat there and listened silently. He was not as enthusiastic as Wu Siyuan who wanted to go on stage to give a speech condemning or denounced Lin Daoqiu.

For Lin Jianyue, neither Lin Daoqiu nor Fei Peng could be offended by Lixin Group.

Previously, because of Liu's deceit, I bought a lot of theaters to form the Lixin Cinema Line. In the end, I lost money and had to sell the Lixin Cinema Line to Lin Daoqiu.

What Lin Jianyue has to admit is that in the Hong Kong film industry, there are basically no people who dare to be enemies of Lin Daoqiu.

Except for those diehards like Cen Jianxun and Shi Tian, ​​these people were extremely dissatisfied with Lin Daoqiu, so they were not willing to join New Oriental at all, and simply switched to other jobs.

Now basically all those who remain in the film and television industry are willing to become Lin Daoqiu's subordinates and make movies for him honestly to make money.

Because Lixin Group's business has recently encountered bottlenecks, Lin Bo intends to develop industries that are different from his previous ones. The popularity of the Hong Kong film market has made the Lin family jealous, but they have been suffering from the lack of opportunities to participate.

Originally, Lin Jianyue thought that their plan to develop the film industry would have to be shelved for a while, or that they would have to wait a few years before they have the opportunity, but to his surprise, the opportunity has come now.

"Mr. Lin, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

At this moment, Wu Siyuan came off the stage and suddenly walked over to Lin Jianyue, and even greeted him.

Lin Jianyue seemed a little surprised by his reaction, because he obviously didn't expect Wu Siyuan to come to him.

"Mr. Wu is so polite. This junior has been busy with the group's business since the end of the Lai Sun Cinema chain. I was invited to attend this seminar today because I just want to hear Chief Peng's views on the future of Hong Kong movies."

Wu Siyuan knew very well that when Lin Jianyue was forced to sell Lixin Cinema to Lin Daoqiu, he obviously would not have a good opinion of Lin Daoqiu.

It was just because Lin Daoqiu's power in Xiangjiang was too strong that Lin Jianyue had no room to resist, so he had to withdraw from the film and television industry and go back to be his second son.

But what Wu Siyuan believed was that since Lin Jianyue was willing to invest hundreds of millions to develop theater chains, he would definitely have ideas about the film industry, but he just lacked an opportunity.

It just so happened that Fei Peng needed to attract people with funds and strength like Lin Jianyue, so Wu Siyuan approached him.

"Master Lin, if Lixin Cinema Line can persist until now, I believe that the revenue this theater chain can bring to Lixin Group every year will definitely exceed your imagination."

As Wu Siyuan spoke, he sat directly next to Lin Jianyue. It seemed that he was not just coming to say hello.

"These are things in the past. Now that Xiangjiang Film is developing very well, there won't be any big problem whether there is a Lai Sun Cinema or not."

Lin Jianyue was not that stupid to take Wu Siyuan's trap. He just wanted to stir up his dissatisfaction with Lin Daoqiu, and then use this to get himself to join their side.

Although Lin Jianyue is not very old, he is not a simple fool. If Wu Siyuan wants to win him over, it depends on what kind of price the other party can offer him.

Even more directly, what kind of benefits can Chief Peng give to Lixin Group, so that Lin Jianyue and his father will consider whether to join their side to fight against Lin Daoqiu.

If you just wanted them to defect to Fei Peng with just a few empty words, and then charge into battle for Fei Peng, not to mention that Lin Bo would not agree, even Lin Jianyue would probably not be persuaded by Wu Siyuan.

"I know that Lixin Group is interested in developing the film and television industry recently. We just have such an opportunity today. Why don't we find a place to have a good chat after the meeting. I believe Mr. Lin will be very interested in some of the news I have."

Wu Siyuan did not say what kind of information he had, but because everyone had already seen that Wu Siyuan had boarded Fat Peng's ship, Lin Jianyue was really curious about what kind of information the other party had.

"If that's the case, then I would be disrespectful."
