Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

In early August, with the division of the Xiangjiang Cinema Line, the Baojia Cinema Line became the largest cinema line in Xiangjiang.

The previously stable filmmakers began to face the choice of choice.

Although Lin Daoqiu and Bao Shaogang did not say clearly, everyone knew that, New Oriental and Baojia Courtyard, they could only choose one side.

Many people have started to miss the glory of the Xiangjiang Courtyard, but if you want to go back, I'm afraid it is impossible for a while.

And because the bottom -up fee has already been canceled, the Baojia Courtyard has suddenly become the first choice for independent filmmakers.

Lin Daoqiu is indeed very powerful, but in terms of the number of theater lines, New Oriental is more than a dozen less than Baojia, so no one will not be able to live with his pocket.

"During this time, except for our own movies, people in other film companies have basically ran to Baojia."

After Li Maowen returned to New Oriental as the general manager, as soon as he took office, he immediately faced this problem.

If there is no movie, the playback time of those old movies can be extended, from two weeks to three weeks.

"You don't have to worry, I believe it will be fine after a while."

Compared to Li Maowen's anxiety, Lin Daoqiu is not nervous at all.

Although there are not many movies produced by New Oriental, this is just temporary.

New Yicheng, Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao, Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa, as well as Wang Jing, and Wen Yan and Zheng Danrui.

These people are the foundation of New Oriental. After a year, these people can make at least a dozen movies, with at least one per month.

With the joining of Shaw's stars and teams, New Oriental can produce at least 20 movies a year.

This is also the result of Lin Daoqiu's consideration of the number of controls. Otherwise, he can add more than a dozen more on this basis.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, I have a way to let us spend this difficulty for the time being."

Li Maowen thought for a while, but decided to tell his thoughts.

"You talk about it."

Lin Daoqiu is a bit curious. What good can Li Maowen think of it, let New Oriental spend this shortage of sources.

"Now that we have signed a lot of Shao stars before, we can completely, based on them, restore the process of Shaw's film production before."

Is Li Maowen's idea not to say a good idea first, but it is certain that if you do this, you can indeed help New Oriental solve the problem of film sources.

But unfortunately, after Li Maowen finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu shook his head directly and rejected his proposal.

"I was not interested in the set of Uncle Liu before, unless I was on a TV station, so I would take it seriously."

Like the movies made by Shaw before, it is difficult to have any fines. Most of them are homework under the line of water. Basically, it can be said that it is the same.

If the New Oriental Cinema will be occupied by these movies in the future, then I will probably become the original Shao.

"Mr. Lin, there is a saying that I don’t know if it should be improper."

Li Maowen seemed to have guessed that Lin Daoqiu would say so, but he still had something to say.

It seems to be like his own bar, Lin Daoqiu feels that Li Maowen seems to be a bit wrong today.

However, Lin Daoqiu is not the kind of wanton person. If the other party says it makes sense, he doesn't mind adopting Li Maowen's suggestion.

After all, if you listen to it, you will be dark. If you ca n’t even listen to your own hands, I am afraid that the courtyard line of Lin Daoqiu will not be able to operate too long.

"Of course, I am not the kind of boss who can't listen to others. As long as you say it makes sense, I must listen to you."

Li Maowen has been with Lin Daoqiu for some time. He knows that his boss is not the kind of person who is just using himself. He can still hear the suggestions of others.

If you change it to others, I am afraid that Li Maowen will not insist on speaking, but will do it according to Lin Daoqiu's instructions.

"The reason why Shaw's decline was due to the stiff large -scale system, so it caused missed excellent filmmakers such as Bruce Lee and Xu Guanwen, but we are different from the uncle Liu. New Oriental has always been in Hainan."

Li Maowen went on to say: "A courtyard line must have sufficient sources of films. If it is a good movie, it must be a good thing, but this is simply impossible.

, At least seven to three. "

These are all experiences from Li Maowen in recent years.

Many movies are born in Xiangjiang every year, but each movie cannot be sold well. Most of the movies in it are at a loss.

After 1980, in the more than a hundred movies that were released, aside from Shaw's movies, the number of people who could really make money can be said to be not much.

"Mr. Lin, if you use the idea of ​​operating a film company and take care of a movie theater line, there will be a problem."

For these words of Li Maowen, Lin Daoqiu had never thought about it before. What he always thought was that the films produced by New Oriental must be able to sell money, and all good movies.

But Li Maowen's words made Lin Daoqiu suddenly fall into contemplation, because the other party said very reasonable.

"Moreover, now that we have signed so many people, if we do not start, those people have problems with their livelihoods, and adults have the living method of big characters, but in the set, most people are relying on the construction of money.

"

Not only for the courtyard line, but also for those stars and staff members, Li Maowen felt that he should have the obligation to tell Lin Daoqiu about these words.

Li Maowen has said what he wants to say, and now it depends on how Lin Daoqiu chose.

If he insists that New Oriental must only produce high -quality movies, then Li Maowen has nothing to say. He will continue to work hard and diligently according to Lin Daoqiu's instructions.

But in this case, the gap in the sources of the New Oriental Cinema will last for a long time.

After Li Maowen left, Lin Daoqiu was still thinking, and he couldn't give his answer for a while.

In the sentence of Li Maowen, the big man has the method of living, so that Lin Dao Qiu feels a lot.

Like the dragon set on the set, miscellaneous people, and lights and sets of people, they all eat on the show.

Even if the movie is selling, it does not have much relationship with them, but continue to receive a salary.

But if they did not open, they would have no source of income.

Before, no one would consider the life and death of these people. Almost all filmmakers considers only whether their own movies can be sold, and Lin Daoqiu is one of them.
