Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

I don’t know how many years I have not seen these two rivals, Chow Wenhuai and Run Run Shaw, standing together. After receiving the news that they were going to hold a joint press conference, reporters from various media outlets in Hong Kong were extremely excited.

The banquet hall of the Regent Hotel was chosen as the venue for the joint press conference this time. After all, we have to deal with a large number of media, and it will definitely not work without a spacious place.

This time, in addition to various media outlets in Hong Kong, there were also journalists from all over the world attending the joint press conference.

Although most people had already guessed the purpose of their press conference, when this incident actually happened, many people still found it incredible.

When Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers formed a duplex, everyone knew that their goal was actually very simple, that is to defeat New Oriental Cinemas controlled by Lin Daoqiu.

At that time, most people believed that with the strength of Shaw Run Run and Zou Wenhuai in Xiangjiang, it would be a piece of cake to deal with a young man who had just emerged.

But what happened next surprised them. First, Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa left Jiahe, but this did not attract much attention at the time.

But then it was Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung's turn to leave, which was the biggest culprit that really caused Jiahe's heavy losses.

After that, Jiahe's attendance rate declined due to the departure of its popular stars. Under such circumstances, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang had to bow to Lin Daoqiu.

"When I founded Jiahe, I didn't expect that I would be able to withstand the pressure from Shaw Brothers. After so many years, I thought I had been used to big storms, but I didn't expect that I would fall into the hands of a young man."

In the hotel lounge, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but lament the past. He Guanchang on the side also listened and nodded, because he and Zou Wenhuai had the same idea.

And I am afraid that not only the two of them, but even others cannot imagine that a young man of only 20 years old can actually force the overlord of the Hong Kong Film Company to cooperate with him.

"But speaking of it, I'm afraid Uncle Six is ​​more aggrieved than us. After all, Lin Daoqiu can be regarded as taking the most credit for being able to get up so quickly."

If Run Run Shaw and Lin Daoqiu hadn't teamed up to make the movie "Mission: Impossible", which made him shine in Hollywood and made so many US dollars, Lin Daoqiu might not have been able to buy the gold so quickly.

Princess.

But what He Guanchang didn't know was that if Lin Daoqiu hadn't obtained 20 million Hong Kong dollars from them with the movie "Five Lucky Stars", he wouldn't have had that much money to cooperate with Shaw.

However, although they all think so, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang are both certain that Lin Daoqiu will get up sooner or later, and what they have done can only add fuel to the flames.

The Run Run Shaw mentioned by Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang was sitting with Fang Yihua in another lounge of the hotel to rest.

They didn't have as much emotion as Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang. Perhaps Run Run Shao had already thought about it clearly, so he was more open-minded compared to Zou Wenhuai and the others.

However, Fang Yihua was thinking about something at this time. Although she found it difficult to win, she still hoped to get the position of general manager of United Cinemas.

But when she told Run Run Shaw about this idea, Run Run Shao just smiled and shook his head.

"Lin Daoqiu won't give it, and I'm afraid Jiahe is not willing to see our people become the general managers of United Cinemas, so in the end this position will still fall into Lin Daoqiu's hands."

Although the three companies have now formed a joint cinema chain, in fact, everyone is at odds with each other, especially Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. As long as there is nothing that threatens their interests, they will never work together.

The last time Run Run Shaw agreed to do a dual-screen show with Jia Harvest was because they both had a common enemy, Lin Daoqiu. That's why he accepted Jia Harvest's invitation at that time, but this does not mean that Run Run Shaw has looked away.

to resolve the grievances between them.

"This Lin Daoqiu, he has taken advantage of all the good things."

Fang Yihua didn't have a good way to do this, unless they were willing to join forces with Jiahe from now on, which might put some constraints on Lin Daoqiu, but this idea never appeared in Fang Yihua's mind from the beginning.

In the final analysis, the grievances between the two families are too deep, and it is impossible for them to truly cooperate. Unless Lin Daoqiu suppresses them too hard, they may one day work together.

As for the position of general manager of United Cinemas, Lin Daoqiu had actually decided early on that he would be Li Maowen, the general manager of New Oriental Cinemas. Basically, this was a logical matter.

Because since Li Maowen became the general manager of New Oriental Cinemas, he has always worked diligently and did not form cliques in the company. He is considered a very honest guy.

And he has nothing to do with Jiahe and Shaw Brothers. For Lin Daoqiu, Li Maowen is the most suitable candidate.

After all, the general manager of this joint theater chain will be mainly responsible for coordinating the release schedule of films and arranging screenings for these films.

Therefore, this person must not have anything to do with Jiahe and Shaw Brothers. He must be a bowl of water, so that Zou Wenhuai and Shaw Brothers will not have anything to say.

Standing respectfully in front of Lin Daoqiu, Li Maowen seemed to be in a trance, because just now Lin Daoqiu had told him that he would be the general manager of United Cinemas.

"Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers have already agreed. I hope that after you take office, you will treat everyone equally, including the movies we produce, otherwise Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers will use this to attack us.

"

Lin Daoqiu didn't want to argue with them over filming issues, so fairness and justice was the most important thing.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry. I will definitely keep your teachings in mind. When the time comes, I will treat everyone equally when arranging the schedule, and I will definitely not include any personal subjective ideas in it."

Lin Daoqiu is actually very relieved about Li Maowen, otherwise he would not have chosen Li Maowen for this position from the beginning.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then Fang Jinsheng opened the door and walked in.

"Mr. Lin, the guests and reporters are almost here, and the press conference is almost here. You can go to the conference hall now."

Lin Daoqiu nodded after hearing this, then stood up and left the lounge with Fang Jinsheng and Li Maowen.

At this time, Zou Wenhuai and Run Run Shaw were also notified, and they also left their lounge.

In the corridor of the hotel, three people met by chance.
