Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

After listening to Zou Wenhuai's words, Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua turned their heads to Karls next to them almost at the same time.

In their opinion, if Zou Wenhuai wants to cooperate with a Hollywood company, Warner Bros. will definitely be their first choice.

If this is the case, then Karls must already know about it.

However, Karls was also confused at this time, because Zou Wenhuai had never talked to him about this matter before, nor did he reveal any intentions in this regard.

"I didn't know about this matter. Mr. Zou never told me about it."

Karls was not worried that Run Run Shaw and the others would misunderstand, but because he was currently helping Michael Delilah with the production fee, he had to explain it to Run Run Shaw quickly.

After hearing what Carls said, Run Run Shaw just nodded. He originally wanted to announce here today that he would invest in a big-budget Hollywood movie, but unexpectedly, he was robbed of the limelight by Chow Wenhuai.

"Could it be that Zou Wenhuai already knew our intentions, so he took the lead?"

Fang Yihua suspected that Zou Wenhuai had never thought about investing in any Hollywood movies before. It was just because he suddenly raised the topic after knowing that Run Run Shaw intended to do so, and the purpose was not to let Shaw Brothers be in the limelight.

After Shao Yifu thought for a few seconds, he shook his head, because Zou Wenhuai should not be that stupid.

If he just wants to spend 20 million dollars to make a movie just because he doesn't want Shaw Brothers to be in the limelight, that's simply stupid.

Based on Run Run Shaw's understanding of Zou Wenhuai, he is definitely not such an idiot.

Suddenly, Run Run Shaw turned his head and looked at Lin Daoqiu on his right, and then he recalled what Zou Wenhuai had just said on the stage.

The result was that Lin Daoqiu came up with the script and Golden Harvest financed it, and the two parties came together to make a big Hollywood production.

If this hadn't been the case, Zou Wenhuai wouldn't have been so stupid as to spend another 20 million US dollars on "The Killer" just last year.

"Is it because Mr. Lin published the script?"

Karls also thought about this possibility. Last year, Golden Harvest cooperated with Warner Bros., but both parties lost money.

This year Jiahe made a comeback and spent 20 million US dollars on it, which shows how much confidence he has in this drama.

And now there is only one person in Xiangjiang who can bring him such great confidence, and that is Lin Daoqiu.

"You can say this later..."

Run Run Shaw suddenly moved his head to Fang Yihua's ear and whispered a few words.

Fang Yihua's eyes widened slightly after hearing this, because Run Run Shaw's decision was different from what he had promised before.

But since this was Run Run Shaw's decision, Fang Yihua naturally would not refuse. She nodded after listening.

After Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause. It can be said that Jiahe really made a splash tonight.

"What happened?"

MacDaily noticed something was wrong, but because he couldn't understand what Zou Wenhuai had just said on the stage, he still didn't understand what happened.

"The gentleman on the stage just now is Zou Wenhuai, the chairman of Golden Harvest Company. He just announced that he will invest 20 million US dollars to produce a movie in Hollywood."

Karls explained it to McDairy.

"Oh my God, can it be said that any film company in Hong Kong can spend tens of millions of dollars to invest in a movie? This is simply crazy."

McDary tried his luck in Hollywood after asking his grandparents to sue his grandparents, but was unable to get investment. As a result, people from Warner Bros. suggested that he come to Hong Kong to try his luck.

When MacDaily arrived in Hong Kong, he met Shaw with the help of Carls.

After several talks between the two parties, Run Run Shaw agreed to invest US$17 million to make the film.

You must know that Run Run Shaw's decision deeply moved MacDaily. Before that, he had already prepared for the worst.

If we still can't find investors in Hong Kong, this "Blade Runner" movie will be temporarily sealed until the time is right or we can attract investment.

"Jiahe is not a small company in Hong Kong. The box office champions in the past few years were all won by movies produced by Golden Harvest."

After Carls explained this, McDairy realized that he had thought wrong, and a very embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

"Follow me to meet someone."

In order to verify his conjecture, Karls decided to chat with Lin Daoqiu. Originally, he planned to go to him after the show.

Carls said sorry to Run Run Shaw, and then walked towards Lin Daoqiu's table with McDairy.

"Long time no see. I heard a lot about your deeds as soon as I returned to Xiangjiang. Congratulations to Boss Lin."

As soon as Karls came over, Lin Daoqiu stood up and gave him a big hug.

"I thought Warner would keep you at the head office."

The last time "Mission Impossible" was run, Karls could be said to have contributed a lot, and Lin Daoqiu was naturally grateful to him.

"Ashley mentioned this before, but I refused."

Karls shrugged. It seemed that he had no interest in staying at the head office.

"Oh, by the way, this is the talented screenwriter who made Fox spend 100 million US dollars to buy his copyright. This is McDairy, a producer in Hollywood."

Karls did not forget to introduce Michael Daley to Lin Daoqiu.

McDaily didn't expect that the young man Karls brought him to meet was actually the screenwriter of "Mission: Impossible". You should know that the young man was stealing the show in Hollywood.

The topic of the sky-high copyright fee of US$100 million has caused a lot of noise in Hollywood. Everyone is discussing whether Fox is worth the money.

In McDairy's opinion, Fox is definitely making money. As long as they continue the production style of this drama, maybe the next sequel can earn back the copyright fees.

"Nice to meet you, just call me Mike."

"Please take a seat, both of you."

The previously empty seat finally had some life. Lin Daoqiu originally thought he would sit there all night.

Lin Daoqiu had already made up his mind that if he wanted to attend any of these cocktail parties next time, he would have to find a companion. He didn't want to sit down like this.

"Tell me honestly, are you and Jiahe joining forces this time?"

Lin Daoqiu is no longer an outsider, so everything Karls asks is very direct.

"Then I'll tell you honestly, it's the first time I've heard what Mr. Zou just said."

Originally, Karls was sure that this matter had something to do with Lin Daoqiu, but when the other party said this, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

Because Karls had just returned from the head office, he had never heard of any cooperation between Warner and Golden Harvest before.

If this is the case, the only possibility is that Golden Harvest is not cooperating with Warner this time, but with another Hollywood film company.
