Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Lin Daoqiu had no way of knowing how angry Murdoch was after learning the news, because Lin Daoqiu was on a flight from North America to Neon when Murdoch got angry.

After arriving at Neon, something different from before was that when Lin Daoqiu came to Neon, Toho's Yoshikawa Shoichi would definitely show up at the airport to greet him.

But now, although Lin Daoqiu and Dongbao are not in conflict, they are already in a confrontational situation, so it is naturally impossible for Yoshikawa Masaichi to work as Lin Daoqiu's follower like before.

However, although no one from Toho came, what Lin Daoqiu didn't expect was that the person who came to greet him this time was Shochiku's president, Maekawa Kiyonori.

"Hello Mr. Lin, I learned that you will arrive in Neon today, so I specially put down the work at hand and came to the airport to greet you."

What Maekawa Kiyonori said was very explicit. Although it was not flattering, the president of the dignified Shochiku Pictures actually went to the airport to pick up someone. This shows how much he values ​​Lin Daoqiu.

After all, Lin Daoqiu's business scope is getting bigger and bigger, and he is also cooperating with super consortiums in North America, so his impression of Lin Daoqiu has suddenly risen to several levels.

As far as Kiyonori Maekawa knows, not long ago the Morgan consortium, one of the top ten financial groups in North America, acquired 30% of Lin Daoqiu's "Reader Times" and New Oriental Pictures.

Although he didn't know the specific price, it was said to be over 10 billion US dollars, which was incredible just to hear it.

Compared to Lin Daoqiu, Maekawa Kiyonori was most concerned about the Morgan consortium.

After all, Neon people have unparalleled admiration and admiration for North Americans, not to mention that the Morgan consortium is still a super consortium in North America.

If Kiyonori Maekawa had some doubts about Lin Daoqiu's ability to defeat Toho before, then as soon as this news came out, all the doubts in his heart had disappeared.

No matter how high Toho's status is in Neon, it doesn't matter. In the eyes of North Americans, especially those super conglomerates, Toho is not worth mentioning at all.

"Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry, I'm late."

Just as Maekawa Kiyonori was talking to Lin Daoqiu, Lin Daoqiu suddenly heard a familiar voice.

When he turned around, he found that the person coming was Shigeru Okada, the president of Toei Co., Ltd.

Okada Shigeru didn't arrive late, he just didn't know which way Lin Daoqiu was coming out, so he led his men around and didn't see anyone.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to see Lin Daoqiu and Maekawa Kiyonori talking from a distance, Okada Shigeru would have definitely missed the opportunity to meet Lin Daoqiu this time.

"Both of you are important people with many affairs. There is no need for you to come to the airport to greet me. Thank you very much for your kindness. I will just send someone next time."

Lin Daoqiu did not expect that Maekawa Kiyonori and Okada Shigeru would do this. It seems that what he has done in North America recently has spread to Neon.

However, Lin Daoqiu would not look down on them because of this. After all, the cooperation with Shochiku and Toei had been finalized long ago. They just wanted to please themselves, which Lin Daoqiu could understand.

"I have other things to deal with here. You go to the company first. I will call you if necessary."

Luo Er also came with Lin Daoqiu this time, but Lin Daoqiu didn't want him to act with him.

Luo Er obviously realized that Lin Daoqiu didn't want him to be with him, so he nodded immediately.

"Okay Mr. Lin, I'm waiting for your call."

After Luo Er finished speaking, he packed up his luggage and left the airport hall without looking back.

Although Maekawa Kiyonori and Okada Shigeru were a little curious about who this foreigner was, they did not dare to ask in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"Okay, let's talk while walking. I happen to want to know about the progress of the filming of "Onmyoji"."

Lin Daoqiu came to Neon not only to deal with investment matters, but also to deal with the establishment of the "Readers Times" branch and the progress of the films he was cooperating with Shochiku and Toei.

Maekawa Kiyonori and Okada Shigeru naturally hope that Lin Daoqiu can pay more attention to their cooperation.

Although they themselves knew very well that as Lin Daoqiu became stronger and stronger, the cooperation between the three parties might end up with Lin Daoqiu dominating everything and they could only assist.

For Maekawa Kiyonori and Okada Shigeru, only by cooperating with strong people can Shochiku and Toei have a future, so they don't mind becoming Hayashi Daoqiu's subordinates, but only if they have enough benefits.

After leaving the airport, Lin Daoqiu, Okada Shigeru and Maekawa Kiyonori sat in the same car.

Because Okada Shigeru came later, he could only sit in the passenger seat. This made him a little unhappy, but he did not dare to complain in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"The filming progress of "Onmyoji" was still a bit slow before, but recently due to the debugging of actors and equipment and the tacit understanding of the crew, the progress has been accelerated a lot..."

"But if "Onmyoji" is to be released within this year, I'm afraid it will still be too late. I hope to move the release date of "Onmyoji" to next year. What do you think?"

It’s not that Kiyonori Maekawa doesn’t want this special effects blockbuster to be released as soon as possible, but the problem is that there were some problems with the filming schedule of “Onmyoji” before, and it’s only now back on track.

If Lin Daoqiu insists that "Onmyoji" be released within this year, many aspects of the film will be unsatisfactory. This is obviously not the result that Maekawa Kiyonori wants to see.

"No problem, "Onmyoji" will be released next year, because I have two or three North American superhero series movies about to be released this year, so "Onmyoji" is not suitable for release this year."

Although it is not to the point of competing, if a bunch of special effects blockbusters are released together this year, Lin Daoqiu is worried that the audience will suffer from aesthetic fatigue.

Therefore, Lin Daoqiu plans to only release two to three special effects blockbusters this year, and he even wants to reduce it to only two.

Hearing that Hayashi Daoqiu agreed immediately, Maekawa Kiyonori breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that this "Onmyoji" is the first special effects blockbuster between the three companies. Although Lin Daoqiu has contributed the most, Shochiku and Toei have the most roles in this film.

The investment in the film is more than they have ever invested in self-produced films.

If possible, Maekawa Kiyonori certainly hopes to make "Onmyoji" perfect, so that they can have more confidence when it is released.

Their biggest job this year is to arrange promotion and release-related matters for the few superhero movies that Lin Daoqiu has released, and there should be no problems.
