Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Wu Siyuan didn't think much about it and directly agreed to Pan Disheng's invitation.

In fact, for Wu Siyuan, he has no choice now. If he doesn't cooperate with Dibao, he will have to live alone.

You must know that this time, Wu Siyuan invested a total of 30 million, and spent more than half of his own wealth.

If the successful theater chain fails this time, not only will he suffer heavy losses, but he will also very likely be kicked out of the Hong Kong film market.

On Pan Disheng's side, he naturally welcomed Wu Siyuan with both hands and feet when he opened a theater chain.

Originally, the formation of a joint theater chain between New Oriental and Golden Harvest gave him a headache.

But things are getting better now. With the addition of Wu Siyuan's successful theater chain, the disadvantage on our side no longer exists.

He doesn't have to worry now, because the number of theaters is smaller than that of the other party, and the box office will be overwhelmed by the other party.

"It is said that the financial backers behind Wu Siyuan are the people from Baodao. They have never been able to find a way to get involved in the Xiangjiang Film Market. Unexpectedly, they got this opportunity."

In fact, very few people know about the boss behind Wu Siyuan, but Cen Jianxun and others have heard about it to some extent.

In fact, these Baodao bosses have had a lot of interactions with them before, but they didn't expect that this time they would spend such a large sum of money and go to Kailai Cinema in Xiangjiang.

"The Xiangjiang film market is so hot. These people have been jealous for a day or two. It is actually normal for them to find Wu Siyuan this time."

Sammo Hung didn't find this strange at all, because in his opinion, if they could occupy a place in the Hong Kong film market, they would be able to make more money in Baodao.

Originally, there were only three major theater chains in Xiangjiang, and the majority of the movie box office in Xiangjiang has always been eaten up by these three.

Now that the successful theater chain has opened, it is equivalent to taking away part of the box office revenue from the three major theater chains.

But for Di Bao, the good thing is that Wu Siyuan can only join forces with them, so it doesn't matter if he takes away part of the box office.

Di Bao's main idea now is very simple, which is to praise New Oriental and Golden Harvest, so that by then its share of the Hong Kong film market will be the top one.

As for the successful cinema chain, they don't have any well-known stars. Although Wu Siyuan is a very successful filmmaker, compared with Di Bao's ability, he is still more than one level behind.

No wonder Pan Disheng and the others did not regard Wu Siyuan as a threat at all. In their view, Success Cinemas was actually a subsidiary of Dibao.

"Mr. Pan, we must take the lead in the joint theater chain."

Cen Jianxun naturally does not want Dibao to lose its dominance over United Cinemas. After all, Dibao's strength is much higher than that of Chenggong Cinemas in every aspect.

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Dibao to give up the dominance of United Cinemas, unless Pan Disheng is out of his mind to do so.

Pan Disheng nodded while listening. Even if Cen Jianxun didn't say anything, he wouldn't let Wu Siyuan take too many advantages.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

The next day, Pan Disheng took Sam Jianxun and Sammo Hung to the teahouse that he had made an appointment with Wu Siyuan.

Not long after they arrived, Wu Siyuan arrived late with Tong Lu and Liao Bingxue.

"Boss Wu, this is Boss Pan, the boss of Dibao Cinemas."

As soon as Wu Siyuan entered the door, Cen Jianxun immediately introduced Pan Disheng to him.

This was the first time Wu Siyuan and Pan Disheng met. He stepped forward to check on each other and extended his hand.

"Boss Pan is indeed young and promising. With Dibao Cinema in your hands, the development momentum is very strong."

Wu Siyuan said this not as a compliment to Pan Disheng, because the Dibao Cinema chain is now gaining momentum. If not for this, Lin Daoqiu would not be forced to join forces with Jiahe to deal with Dibao.

In other words, being able to push Lin Daoqiu to this point shows how amazing Pan Disheng is. If it were Wu Siyuan himself, there would be no way he could do this.

"Boss Wu, you're welcome. I'm still young and inexperienced. I'll have to learn more from seniors in the film industry like you in the future. Please come over here."

Pan Disheng invited Wu Siyuan to sit down on the seat next to him.

Logically speaking, today's protagonists should be Pan Disheng and Wu Siyuan, but in fact, Liao Bingxue is the real protagonist this time.

Because the financial backers behind him control 65% of the shares of Success Cinemas.

Although Wu Siyuan is the major shareholder of Chenggong Cinemas on the surface, if the financial backers behind Liao Bingxue join forces, Wu Siyuan will not even have a say in Chenggong Cinemas.

After the two parties were polite for a while, the topic inevitably turned to the main purpose of their meeting.

"New Oriental has formed a joint theater chain with Golden Harvest, and its momentum is hard to match in Hong Kong. I wonder what Boss Wu thinks of this?"

Wu Siyuan had already thought about Pan Disheng's question before he came.

Cooperation with Dibao Cinema is inevitable. The question now is how to maximize its dominance in the joint cinema.

Moreover, Liao Bingxue came with Pan Disheng today, but he actually came with a mission.

"Boss Pan, although Lin Daoqiu and the others have formed a joint cinema chain, they are actually at the end of their rope."

Wu Siyuan was confused by Pan Di's words. He actually said that Lin Daoqiu and the others were at the end of their rope? Did he hear it right?

Seeing Pan Disheng looking at him with confusion, Wu Siyuan immediately explained with a smile.

"The most popular movie in Hong Kong right now is action movies, and Di Bao already has two of the top kung fu stars. In addition, Jackie Chan is invited this time. I believe Di Bao will definitely win next year's Spring Festival."

Wu Siyuan didn't know whether he was complimenting Pan Disheng or speaking from his heart, but if he thought about it carefully, what he said made sense.

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are currently the top kung fu stars in Hong Kong. If Jackie Chan is added to the mix, there is really no combination that can compete with them in the action comedy field.

"Boss Wu, "The Best Partner" has received more than 30 million at the box office for two consecutive years. Next year, the box office will be at least 40 million, or even 50 million. To be honest, we are under a lot of pressure."

This is not because Pandy is pretending, but he is really worried.

And there is something that Pan Di Sheng did not say. In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that the most popular movies of Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao were actually produced by Lin Daoqiu.

It’s not that Sammo Hung and the others can’t do it without Lin Daoqiu, but because without Lin Daoqiu, the box office that Sammo Hung and the others can get is actually not very impressive.
