Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Two weeks later, "Unlucky Gambler" and "Brothers and Brothers" were offline at the same time.

In the end, the box office of "The King of Luck" exceeded the 10 million mark, which was a relief to Wang Jing.

As for Eric Tsang's "Brothers of Wolf and Tiger", thanks to Bao Shaogang's generous investment, the final box office exceeded 20 million.

For a time, almost all newspaper pages reported this incident with large headlines.

One tabloid even used "The End of an Era" as its headline.

In this report, Bao Shaogang was described as a new generation of film tycoons in Hong Kong, while Lin Daoqiu became his background.

Even Ni Kuang jumped out and praised Bao Shaogang in his column, and even satirized Lin Daoqiu in it.

After all, the last time, during the incident of judging the finals of "The Police", the two of them had a bad relationship.

Ni Kuang finally seized the opportunity of Lin Daoqiu's defeat, so how could he let it go so easily?

"Interesting... really interesting..."

There is a pile of newspapers on the table, and most of the news in them is about the fight between Lin Daoqiu and Bao Shaogang.

And all the newspapers, without exception, were praising Bao Shaogang, as if he had completely defeated New Oriental.

But in fact, Lin Daoqiu didn't pay attention to this fight at all.

So even if he loses, it's not a big deal to Lin Daoqiu.

But he thinks it's okay, but that doesn't mean others think so too.

Brigitte Lin, who was filming in Baodao, immediately called Lin Daoqiu to comfort her after seeing the news.

As for Zhao Yazhi, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Zhilin, Guo Youhua and Michelle, they all took turns calling Lin Daoqiu to comfort him, as if they had agreed upon it.

Those who don't know may think that Lin Daoqiu suffered a huge setback this time.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

These seven words are what Lin Daoqiu has said the most in the past few days.

But no matter how Lin Daoqiu explained, none of them believed what he said.

It seemed that they all felt that Lin Daoqiu said he was fine, but in fact he was very sad.

In addition to the women who called to comfort him, there were also people who came to comfort Lin Daoqiu in person.

"Brother Qiu, actually it's not a big deal this time. We can just find a way to win it back next time."

"That's right, I've watched "Brothers of Wolf and Tiger" before, and it's nothing new at all. There's no way to compare it with our "The King of Luck".

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, Lin Daoqiu's two confidants, rushed to New Oriental to comfort him as soon as the report came out.

The two chatted a lot in front of Lin Daoqiu, but he seemed to be indifferent.

Could it be that the blow to Lin Daoqiu this time was so great that he could not recover for a while?

Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui looked at each other, and this idea came to their minds almost unanimously.

If this is really the case, what should we do in the future? You must know that this is just the beginning. The battle between New Oriental and Baojia Cinemas will probably continue for a long time in the future.

If Lin Daoqiu starts to get discouraged now, how can they continue to fight with Baojia Cinema?

"Have you said enough?"

While Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui were still in shock, Lin Daoqiu raised his head, looked at the two guys in front of him, and asked lightly.

Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui nodded quickly. At this time, Lin Daoqiu was the Brother Qiu they were familiar with.

"I'm very grateful for your concern, but from the beginning, my expectation for this drama was to break 10 million box office. Now that the goal has been achieved, I have nothing to be sad about. Do you understand?"

Lin Daoqiu didn't want these two guys to continue nagging.

Although he also knew that Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui were actually worried about him, this kind of concern was really unnecessary.

Judging from Lin Daoqiu's expression, he didn't seem to be lying, which made Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui somewhat relieved.

"Hehe, that's good... that's good."

Before Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui came here, they had been worried about what they would do if Lin Daoqiu really lost his fighting spirit.

But now it seems that he has nothing wrong with him. I'm afraid they were just worrying about it before.

And after Wen Juan and Zheng Danrui left, another person came to Lin Daoqiu, and the other person was still a rare visitor.

"Mr. Lin, I'm not disturbing you."

Sammo Hung has been rushing to film "The Five Lucky Stars" recently, but this is a film he co-produced with Golden Harvest, so Sammo Hung will naturally not mention this film in front of Lin Daoqiu.

Today he came to see Lin Daoqiu, but he actually came for another drama.

"Brother Sanmao, why do you have time to see me? Sit down quickly."

When he saw Sammo Hung, Lin Daoqiu thought that he was here to comfort him like everyone else.

But Lin Daoqiu guessed wrong this time.

Because Sammo Hung is different from others, he knows very well that this duel will not actually affect Lin Daoqiu.

It's just a movie. If you lose, you lose. It's not a big deal.

What's more, New Oriental and Baojia Cinemas are not at the same level at all.

Unless "The King of Bad Luck" has extraordinary performance, it is actually reasonable to lose to the opponent.

"Mr. Lin, I plan to write a play. Here is the script. Please read it."

Sammo Hung respectfully handed the script to Lin Daoqiu.

You must know that this year, except for "The Mummy", Sammo Hung has not opened a film for New Oriental.

It’s already almost September in the blink of an eye, and it really doesn’t make sense if the show hasn’t started yet.

Even if Lin Daoqiu didn't say it, Sammo Hung felt that this was not a problem, so he came to Lin Daoqiu this time and brought the script directly.

"'Beware of Little Hands'?"

Lin Daoqiu took a look at the script handed over by Sammo Hung, and the image of Chen Xunqi immediately appeared in his mind.

This film can be said to be one of Sammo Hung's classic films, and Lin Daoqiu remembers that when this film was released, it received over 10 million at the box office.

I briefly read the script and found that it was not much different from the play in Lin Daoqiu's memory.

"The script is good. I will give you a budget of 1.5 million for this play."

This is an urban comedy movie, there are not many big scenes in it, and apart from Sammo Hung, the starring actors in it are not famous.

So the budget of 1.5 million to shoot this movie can be said to be more than enough.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. I'll go back and prepare now."

Wong Bing-yao, who wrote the script, is Sammo Hung’s regular screenwriter. It can be said that there will be absolutely no problems when the two of them work together.

"Brother Sanmao, after the filming of this movie is completed, the post-production of "The Mummy" is almost completed. Then you have to set aside time to go to Hollywood with me for promotion."

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, the smile on Sammo Hung's face became even thicker, and he nodded quickly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I will definitely set aside time."

For Sammo Hung, this is the biggest reason why he stayed at New Oriental.
