Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Li Guangwei was responsible for the acquisition of Heung Kong Electric, while the negotiations for KFC were handed over to Fang Jinsheng.

Lin Daoqiu suddenly realized that he seemed to have nothing to do.

And when Lin Daoqiu was free, some people outside were actually in a precarious moment.

Recently, due to Bao Shaogang's inability to take care of himself, the dominance of Baojia Cinema Line has fallen into the hands of Golden Harvest.

But because Jackie Chan went to Hollywood to film "Red Zone", Xu Guanwen was also cooperating with Eric Tsang and others.

The departure of Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Lin Zhengying and others also weakened Jiahe's strength to a great extent.

All of a sudden, the movies produced by Golden Harvest had little success at the box office.

This also made them start to reflect on whether their cooperation with Bao Shaogang was the right choice.

A week before New Year's Day, a piece of news came that caused Jiahe a headache.

The sequel to Lam Ching-ying's "Mr. Zombie" has been completed in post-production and is ready to be released on New Year's Day in 1983.

According to the information they had previously inquired about, New Oriental will also have a comedy film "I Love Tuberose" during the Chinese New Year period, in addition to the sequel to "The Best Partner".

Lin Qingxia will be participating in these two dramas, which instantly made their hearts freeze.

In the office, He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai had to start discussing Jiahe's future.

"Compared with the previous Xiangjiang Cinema Chain, our current Baojia Cinema Chain is far behind in terms of revenue and film output."

As soon as He Guanchang mentioned this matter, he frowned.

Originally, they thought that it would be absolutely fine for Bao Shaogang to overwhelm Lin Daoqiu.

But now it seems that their previous attitude was simply too optimistic.

Now Bao Shaogang's life is getting worse day by day. He had been transferred from Baochang Real Estate before.

It is said that because of the Tianhao International incident, his position in the Bao family is also in jeopardy.

If Bao Shaogang fails to take over as the head of the Bao family, then there will be no other way for the future of the Baojia Cinema Line except dissolution.

And this is not what worries Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang the most.

What they fear most is that once the Baojia Cinema Chain is disbanded, Lin Daoqiu will definitely buy all the theater chains owned by Bao Shaogang.

At that time, they will face a more powerful opponent than the original Shaw Brothers.

"Mr. Zou, I think I should go talk to Mr. Lin."

To this day, He Guanchang feels that if they wait any longer, their situation will only become more worrying.

It's not that Zou Wenhuai hasn't thought about this proposal, but the problem now is that Bao Shaogang hasn't reached the end of his rope yet.

If they switch to Lin Daoqiu's side now, wouldn't their reputation become very bad if word spreads about it?

The best result is that Lin Daoqiu takes the initiative to contact them, so that they can take advantage of the situation.

"Do you think Bao Shaogang can't hold on any longer?"

Zou Wenhuai looked at He Guanchang and asked seriously.

When He Guanchang was asked this question by Zou Wenhuai, he suddenly fell silent.

In fact, even He Guanchang didn't know how to answer this question, because he didn't know whether Bao Shaogang still had hope.

"I don't blame you. In fact, I was too optimistic at the beginning. I thought that Bao Shaogang would definitely be able to beat Lin Daoqiu with the support of the Bao family, but now it seems, hey..."

When Zou Wenhuai said this, he couldn't help but shake his head. He made a mistake in his judgment, which caused Jiahe to fall into the current predicament. It can be said that he is not to blame.

Compared with Jiahe's worries, on the other side, Eric Tsang and the others are not having an easy life either.

Shi Tian, ​​Eric Tsang, Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng all switched jobs from New Art City to Bao Shaogang.

Because of Tsui Hark's "New Shushan Swordsman", he devoted almost all his time to filming and studying the script every day, and he had no time to think about other things.

However, when several people get together, it is inevitable to talk about this topic.

"Have you ever felt that something is wrong with the recent rumors?"

As before, the four of them will still get together if they have time.

But now they no longer gather at Maijia's house like before. Instead, they found another place and set up a new struggle room.

The area here is larger and more spacious than before, but for some reason, they rarely discuss anything meaningful here.

"What you want to say is that Mr. Bao's recent situation is not good, right?"

Shi Tian knew the meaning of Zeng Zhiwei's words as soon as he heard it.

Eric Tsang smiled and did not deny it.

"Anyway, we have offended Mr. Lin to death. If the Baojia Cinema Chain is disbanded by then, then everyone should change careers as soon as possible."

Shi Tian took a very open view of this. After all, even Bao Shaogang couldn't beat Lin Daoqiu. How could they, the second and fifth generation, have a good ending?

Zeng Zhiwei was too lazy to continue chatting with Shi Tianzai. He felt that this guy had completely given up on treatment.

So he turned his head to Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng beside him.

"Don't look at us like this. We are all half-measures. If you have any good ideas, you might as well speak up and discuss them with us."

Tsui Hark is not much better than them, even though he has a big production "New Shushan Swordsman" with an investment of more than 50 million.

But Tsui Hark can't guarantee how well this drama will do at the box office.

To take a step back, if "New Shushan Swordsman" hits the market by then, even if Lin Daoqiu doesn't have to say anything, I'm afraid no one in Hong Kong will dare to ask him to make a movie.

"If I had my way I wouldn't be here looking so gloomy."

Eric Tsang curled his lips and looked helpless.

"Okay, according to me, while there are still movies to shoot, hurry up and make a few more movies to make some money. If something unexpected happens, it's good to have money on you."

Shi Tian's words were very light, but in fact he is only in his early 30s now and still has a lot of time. It is obviously unrealistic to retire so early.

"Zhiwei, if you think of any good ideas, tell us as soon as possible. We all depend on you."

After Shi Tian finished speaking, he patted Zeng Zhiwei on the shoulder with a smile, then stood up and walked out.

Before Zeng Zhiwei had time to speak, Tsui Hark stood up beside him.

"Zhi Weiwei, if you think of any clever tricks, remember to help your brother when the time comes. Let's go back first."

Knowing that they were making fun of him, Zeng Zhiwei didn't take it seriously.

However, he is not a person who is willing to sit still and wait for death. If he does not do something to save himself, this is obviously not Eric Tsang's style.

As soon as he thought of this, Zeng Zhiwei's mind started to work rapidly.
