Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

The three people just nodded to each other but said nothing and then headed to the conference hall together.

When the door to the conference room opened, Lin Daoqiu stood in the middle, with Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai standing on the sides.

The reporters at the scene were all taking pictures with their cameras. They were not willing to miss this historic moment.

After the three people walked to the podium, Lin Daoqiu sat in the middle. I believe it is self-evident what this person represents.

Moving the microphone in front of him, as one of the initiators of this joint press conference, Lin Daoqiu will explain to the reporters and guests on behalf of the other two companies.

"I am very grateful to all the distinguished guests present for coming to our joint press conference today. Here I will announce a decision jointly made by New Oriental, Golden Harvest, and Shaw Brothers Cinemas."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, many people at the scene began to discuss quietly, and the reporters on the scene kept pressing the shutter of their cameras. Everyone was waiting for Lin Daoqiu to say this decision.

"Starting from today, our three theater chains will form a joint theater chain to inject more vitality into the future development of Xiangjiang Film."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the scene. Even Zou Wenhuai and Shao Yifu next to him were also applauding Lin Daoqiu. However, whether they agreed with this matter from the bottom of their hearts is probably another matter.

.

"I feel relieved that Mr. Lin is in charge of this joint cinema chain."

"I believe that with Mr. Lin's ability, Hong Kong's films will be even better in the future, and I am happy to see the results."

Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai just echoed a few words, and then they became completely quiet for the next time. After all, the protagonist today was Lin Daoqiu, so they had no intention of stealing the other's limelight.

Although many people were looking forward to this joint press conference, not much was actually said at the conference.

After the press conference, Shaw Run Run and Zou Wenhuai left with their people as if they had agreed to do so, without having any conversation with Lin Daoqiu.

After all, their willingness to attend this joint press conference was a great honor to Lin Daoqiu.

As for what many people hope to see at this press conference, they can stage a grand reconciliation of their grievances. In Lin Daoqiu's view, this is absolutely impossible to happen, and he has never thought about it.

Help Jiahe and Shaw Brothers resolve their feud.

The headquarters of United Cinemas is located in the New Oriental Cinemas Company. After all, Lin Daoqiu holds 55% of the shares, so it is natural to set up the head office here.

As for the name of this new theater chain, Lin Daoqiu has already discussed it with Zou Wenhuai and Run Run Shaw, and decided to use the name Xiangjiang Cinema Line. After all, this theater chain controls the distribution and screening of all movies in Xiangjiang, so it is not appropriate to use this name.

Someone will say something.

Among the many people who are paying attention to Xiangjiang Cinemas, Chen Baisheng, editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly" and Shu Qi, editor-in-chief of the magazine, are the two people who most hope that this thing will happen.

Because as long as the three theater chains unite, all the things that previously prevented them from holding film awards ceremonies will disappear without a trace.

"I think we can talk to Lin Daoqiu now."

Chen Baisheng had met Lin Daoqiu at a New Year's reception before, and even brought Shu Qi and Lin Daoqiu to talk about it.

At that time, Lin Daoqiu once said that this award ceremony could not be held by him alone, and that the other two companies must work together to make it possible.

Unexpectedly, only one year has passed, and now all the conditions have matured. This made Chen Baisheng so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days.

"If we go to talk to him, then the initiative will fall into Lin Daoqiu's hands, and I'm worried that he will use this to manipulate the award."

Shu Qi didn't seem to trust Lin Daoqiu very much, but thinking about it, it was actually quite normal. After all, once this movie awards ceremony can really be held, its influence will definitely not be limited to Hong Kong.

As long as an actor wins an award, his net worth and popularity will soar. Shu Qi is worried that when the time comes, this originally well-intentioned move will turn into a party where the three of them share the cake. This is an outcome that he absolutely does not want and does not want to see.

.

"If we don't go to him, do you think he will come to us? And with Lin Daoqiu's current ability, he can definitely create a prize by himself."

Chen Baisheng felt that Shu Qi's idea was a bit too naive. Now that they had no one and no money, how could Lin Daoqiu come to them for cooperation.

"So we must take the first step now. I have already thought about it. There is an old classmate of mine at Xiangjiang Radio Station. I have talked with him before. The top management at the radio station said that he is willing to help us organize this award ceremony.

.”

After hearing this, Chen Baisheng did not show too happy expression on his face, because Xiangjiang Radio Station could not provide them with much help. It is obviously impossible to hold a beautiful awards ceremony relying on them.

.

After all, for Chen Baisheng, his idea is to organize an independent film awards event that is free from outside interference, but the process of achieving such a goal can be said to be extremely difficult. After all, they have no one and no money.

.

If he wanted to hold this award ceremony just by relying on his passion, it would probably be just a dream, so that's why he hasn't taken action yet.

However, after listening to Shu Qi's words, Chen Baisheng felt that this seemed to be a temporary solution. As long as the award ceremony was held, at least the name of the award ceremony could be spread first. As for other problems, we will slowly solve them in the future.

It’s okay to find a way to solve it.

It has to be said that Chen Baisheng and Shu Qi's ideas are actually very short-sighted, but they are very qualified pioneers. However, in the previous life, there were enough mistakes in the first and second Academy Awards organized by them.

.

But the two of them don't know this yet. They both have the kind of character that just does what they say.

Chen Baisheng is going to call all the staff of "Film Fortnightly" and other people related to the film to discuss the shortlist.

As for Shu Qi, she was responsible for contacting Xiangjiang Radio Station to see if she could find some sponsorship for the awards ceremony.

But just when the two of them were slowly preparing to have a big fight, a sudden piece of news suddenly stunned them both.

Looking at the news published in "Ming Pao", Chen Baisheng and Shu Qi were stunned almost at the same time, because it published a piece of news that shocked them both.
