Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Shaw Brothers suddenly imposed a ban on New Oriental, and Lin Daoqiu couldn't figure out why Uncle Six suddenly did such a thing.

Will this cause any real harm to him? Or is Uncle Six intending to use this approach to show that Shaw Brothers and New Oriental are incompatible?

Could it be that Uncle Six thought that after he issued this ban, he would run to him to beg for mercy? Is this possible?

It can be said that Uncle Liu's move this time will not bring any trouble to Lin Daoqiu.

Perhaps his purpose in doing this is just to let everyone know that if you choose New Oriental, it will be insulated from Shaw Brothers.

Although this approach will not cause any harm to Lin Daoqiu, it can deter those who are half-hearted, such as people like Wang Jing.

However, this approach is only temporary. After all, in addition to New Oriental, Shaw Brothers' opponents also have Jiahe who is eyeing the company.

"It seems that Uncle Six has completely fallen out with Lin Daoqiu this time."

It can be said that Jiahe was the happiest person when Run Run Shaw did this. They wished that the quarrel between Run Run Run Shaw and Lin Daoqiu would be as serious as possible.

As long as there is no help from Lin Daoqiu, Shaw Brothers will definitely be outclassed by Jiahe this year.

"Sometimes I really can't figure out what Mr. Shao is thinking. Although such an approach can scare some young people, it also minimizes the possibility of cooperation with Lin Daoqiu."

If it were Zou Wenhuai, he would never do such a stupid thing.

After all, Lin Daoqiu is a genius in filming, and he is also a cash cow. It is definitely more cost-effective to be friends with him than to be hostile with him.

"Mr. Shao may have realized that it was impossible to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu, so he simply broke the pot to prevent Lin Daoqiu's influence from penetrating into Shaw Brothers."

Most of the actors at Shaw Brothers receive a monthly salary, and if they work in outside movies, they receive a salary.

Even if part of it is taken away by Shaw Brothers, it will be many times higher than their monthly salary in their hands.

If they were allowed to work with Lin Daoqiu, how could these people have the intention to help Shaw Brothers film, so Run Run Shaw must prevent this from happening.

"It's a pity. This was a good opportunity for us. If we could establish a joint theater chain with New Oriental, I believe Shaw Brothers might not be able to sustain it for a few more years."

Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but shook his head. It was obviously a great opportunity now, but because of their differences with Lin Daoqiu on who should take the lead, they were unable to cooperate.

"Actually, the current situation is not bad. Although we have not been able to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu, if Shaw Brothers continues to operate under the current situation, it will be eliminated from the market in a few years."

After all, the large-scale studio system established by Run Run Shaw at the beginning contributed to Shaw Brothers' early glory. However, times have changed now, and the martial arts movies and kung fu movies that Shaw Brothers relied on for a living have slowly declined.

Even Golden Harvest is now planning to gradually abandon the old kung fu comedies and make modern action movies.

They were also influenced by "Mission Impossible". After all, the money Lin Daoqiu made this time was equal to their income in ten years, so changes were necessary.

Not to mention that Golden Harvest also has three martial arts stars, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and Jackie Chan, plus the Hui brothers who dominate Hong Kong in comedies. It can be said that their strength is the most abundant.

"I heard that Sanmao is planning to make a zombie movie recently?"

"Ghost Fighting" is an action comedy film co-written by Sammo Hung and Huang Ying and directed by Sammo Hung.

When Zou Wenhuai mentioned zombie movies, he immediately thought of the 1974 Shaw Brothers zombie movie "Seven Golden Corpses".

At that time, Run Run Shaw had a sudden idea to make a movie by combining British vampires and Xiangxi corpse exorcism. For this purpose, he spent a lot of money to invite a British team to work together.

As a result, the box office of that drama was only 600,000 yuan, which can be said to be a complete mess.

The box-office champion at that time was "The Dark Knight". This film was the first film made by Xu Guanwen, who was rejected by Shaw Brothers and chose to leave Shaw Brothers, with the support of Golden Harvest. It took 6.2 million at the time.

box office.

From then on, Run Run Shaw did not dare to get involved in such supernatural movies. Unexpectedly, Sammo Hung would now take a trip into this muddy water.

"He said that this type of supernatural kung fu movie has never been made before, so he planned to give it a try. But in the end, this movie is still a kung fu comedy movie."

He Guanchang knew more than Zou Wenhuai, because when Sammo Hung came to talk to him, he had already told him all his thoughts.

Zou Wenhuai doesn't mind that Sammo Hung explores new types of movies, and kung fu comedies are also what he is good at. As long as he doesn't mess around, the box office shouldn't be too low.

Unless Sammo Hung has a sudden idea and plans to form a combination that is neither Chinese nor Western like Shaw Brothers, in which case Chow Wenhuai will definitely stop him.

"Does Mr. Lin have anything to do with us?"

On this day, Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa were suddenly invited to his office by Lin Daoqiu.

Both of them felt very surprised because they didn't know what Lin Daoqiu wanted from them.

"Why are you so outspoken? Can't I come to you if nothing happens?"

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa quickly shook their heads.

"Mr. Lin misunderstood, we didn't mean that."

Worried that Lin Daoqiu might misunderstand him, Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa were thinking about how to explain.

But Lin Daoqiu actually didn't take it seriously at all, because these two guys were really not eloquent people.

"Actually, I invited you here today because I want you to help me open a play."

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa didn't even think about it. They immediately nodded and agreed. They didn't ask what kind of film they were filming or how much the remuneration was.

"As long as Mr. Lin says a word, there will be absolutely no problem for both of us."

Zhong Fa would naturally not refuse Lin Daoqiu's invitation, let alone Lin Zhengying. Most of his current fame is due to Lin Daoqiu's help.

Lin Daoqiu also knew that these two people would not reject him, and this movie was originally tailor-made for Lin Zhengying.

Although the box office won't be very exaggerated, it can be said that this is Lin Zhengying's masterpiece. It can be said that because of this type of movie, more people understand and like Uncle Ying.

"I heard that Sanmao is filming a supernatural movie recently?"

Lin Daoqiu seemed to just ask casually.

"Brother Hong's new play is called "Ghost Fighting Ghosts". He said he wanted to explore more new genres, so he and Huang Ying wrote a script together."

There is actually nothing to hide about this matter, as long as you inquire a little bit, you will know.

"This is really a coincidence, because what I want you to make this time is also a supernatural film called "Mr. Zombie"."
