Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Just as Lin Daoqiu expected.

The next day, when the report of Lin Daoqiu's interview was published in the newspaper.

Zou Wenhuai took the newspaper early in the morning and read it for five minutes.

"These reporters don't know where they heard the news, and they just make random reports all day long."

It seems that Zou Wenhuai is very concerned about the news that Bao Shaogang is going to sell the Kowloon cinema chain.

After all, Jiahe and Bao Shaogang are now like grasshoppers on a rope.

If the other party wants to jump ship, they may be unable to survive alone.

Even if the two families join together, there is no way they can win over Lin Daoqiu.

If they were the only family left by then, wouldn't they be in a situation where they were waiting for death?

"There is no smoke without fire. I think these reporters must have received the news before asking this question."

Compared with Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang felt that these reporters must have a basis for asking this question.

Because even he noticed that Bao Shaogang didn't seem to care much about the business of Baojia Cinemas recently.

If it weren't for his vigorous promotion of "Teppanyaki", I'm afraid he wouldn't have shown up at that time.

"You mean, Bao Shaogang really plans to sell the Kowloon Cinema Chain?"

Zou Wenhuai actually had this idea in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud.

But now even He Guanchang feels it, and Zou Wenhuai doesn't need to hide it.

"Compared with the previous Xiangjiang Cinemas, the revenue of Baojia Cinemas was less than half. On the other hand, the movies produced by New Oriental have achieved great success at the box office."

Shaking his head, He Guanchang couldn't help but sigh and said: "If I had known this earlier, I might as well have cooperated with Lin Daoqiu."

Although He Guanchang said this, even if he knew at that time that the revenue of Baojia Cinemas would decrease, he would still choose to cooperate with Bao Shaogang.

For no other reason than because the Bao family is standing behind Bao Shaogang, and Bao Shaogang is also one of the future heirs of the Bao family.

In the face of these conditions, Lin Daoqiu's talent was really an insignificant thing to Jiahe.

Even in He Guanchang's opinion, compared with Lin Daoqiu and Bao Shaogang, one is in the sky and the other is underground.

So what he is saying now is actually just complaining, and it does not mean that he really has such thoughts.

"How about we arrange to meet and chat with Mr. Bao when he comes out?"

Zou Wenhuai felt that this matter could not be dragged on forever.

They must find out what Bao Shaogang thinks before he makes a decision.

"If Bao Shaogang really wants to sell the Kowloon Cinema Line, we must buy it before Lin Daoqiu does."

He Guanchang seems to be very insistent on this point.

If Kowloon Cinema Line is also bought by Lin Daoqiu, then Golden Harvest will have one foot in the coffin.

"Don't worry. Based on our relationship with Bao Shaogang, if he really wants to sell the Kowloon Cinema Line, he will definitely give us priority."

How can we say that Bao Shaogang's dislike for Lin Daoqiu is almost a well-known thing.

If Jiahe is good at price, it can offer a price that is not much lower than Lin Daoqiu.

Zou Wenhuai believed that Bao Shaogang would definitely be more willing to sell the Kowloon Cinema Line to them than to Lin Daoqiu.

"But today is already New Year's Eve. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to ask Mr. Bao to meet."

During the Chinese New Year, almost all companies are on vacation.

That is to say, film companies like them still have to deal with business during the Chinese New Year.

After all, after the Spring Festival stall was born, after everyone had the reunion dinner, many people would go out to go shopping and play.

Going to the theater to watch a movie is one of the entertainment options that many people choose.

"Let's contact him tomorrow and use the first-day box office of "Teppanyaki" as an excuse to find out what he thinks."

…………

On New Year's Eve, the Spring Festival officially kicks off.

New Oriental has released a sequel to "The Best Partner", while Baojia Cinemas has released "Teppanyaki".

For these two dramas, it can be said that the publicity war has already been in full swing.

The premiere of "The Best Partner" received a lot of praise, which increased the confidence of Mai Jia and others.

On the other hand, for "Teppanyaki", after the preview meeting, except for Bao Shaogang, no one else was too optimistic about Xu Guanwen's transformation into this drama.

"Dad, I want to watch Xu Guanwen's new film "Teppanyaki"..."

"The sequel to "The Best Partner" 2 has Brigitte Lin. Mom, I want to watch "The Best Partner"..."

In the evening, after having the reunion dinner, many people came out of their homes and went out to play.

When passing by a theater in the New Oriental or Baojia Cinemas, the posters posted outside can attract many people to stop.

Both "Best Partner" and "Teppanyaki" have a lot of support, and everyone has high expectations for these two dramas.

"Do you think the box office of "The Best Partner" will be better than that of "Teppanyaki"?"

Zhong Chuhong went back to have a reunion dinner with her family, and Rosamund Kwan had also flown to Baodao a few days in advance to spend the Spring Festival with her family.

So Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin had the New Year’s Eve dinner together this year.

For this reunion dinner, Lin Daoqiu specially made a hot pot and planned to enjoy it slowly with Brigitte Lin.

In response to Brigitte Lin's question, Lin Daoqiu just smiled, then picked up a piece of beef and put it in the hot pot to cook it.

"You have to have confidence in yourself. Even if you don't, you should have confidence in me."

There was a strong sense of confidence in Lin Daoqiu's words. It seemed like he didn't think he would lose to Xu Guanwen.

Although Lin Qingxia didn't know why Lin Daoqiu was so confident.

However, she believed that Lin Daoqiu was not the kind of blind and arrogant person, and he must have his own basis.

"According to people who have watched "Teppanyaki", this drama is Xu Guanwen's transformation work, which is very different from his previous image."

Regarding the roles played by Xu Guanwen in previous movies, it can be said that almost most of them appeared as ordinary citizens who were stingy, bitter, and mean.

Coupled with the two brothers Xu Guanjie and Xu Guanying, the cooperation between the three of them can be said to be flawless.

But this time Xu Guanwen went alone to film "Teppanyaki" and abandoned his previous classic image.

Without so many success factors, if this film can still be recognized by the audience, it can only prove one thing.

"If "Teppanyaki" can beat "Best Partner" this time, then I will have to consider following suit."

"Don't underestimate me. Xu Guanwen is a comedy master in Hong Kong. Even if you lose this time, it's actually normal."

Lin Qingxia didn't know that Lin Daoqiu took this competition too seriously.

She was worried that if "Teppanyaki" really won "Best Partner" by then, Lin Daoqiu would be deeply affected.
