Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Exactly as Lin Daoqiu guessed, the news came out the day after Liao Bingxue left for New Oriental.

"Sing Tao Daily", "Oriental Daily" and some small newspapers, who did not know where they got the news, exaggerated the fact that Liao Bing learned from New Oriental.

They talked about the matter clearly, as if their people were also present, watching how Li Maowen and Liao Bingxue talked.

In short, the final conclusion of several newspapers is very simple. Success Cinemas is ready to join Xiangjiang Cinemas and become a part of it.

Looking at the newspaper on the table, Pan Disheng frowned all morning. He did not expect that Liao Bingxue could do such a thing.

"Mr. Pan, I think Liao Bingxue did this just to threaten us. Wu Siyuan will never join the Xiangjiang Cinema Line."

Cen Jianxun was quite confident about this. After all, Wu Siyuan had just had such a big conflict with Jiahe. How could he be willing to let Success Cinema join Lin Daoqiu's Xiangjiang Cinema?

If he can really do such a thing, Cen Jianxun will really look at Wu Siyuan with admiration. This is comparable to Han Xin being humiliated from the crotch.

"What if Success Cinemas really joins Heung Kong Cinemas?"

Pan Disheng asked Cen Jianxun in return.

Although everyone now knows that it is impossible, if Cheng Cheng Cinema does do this, how will Di Bao deal with it?

One against three? Pan Disheng asked himself that he was not that capable. He could resist the siege of the three major theaters in Hong Kong on his own.

And regardless of whether they can withstand it, Dibao Cinema Line's usual income may be a big problem.

In addition to relying on movies shot by its stars, most of them still rely on the supply of films by some independent producers to maintain the normal operation of the theater chain.

Lin Daoqiu absorbed those stars from Shaw Brothers and established a system similar to that of a large studio, which was able to barely allow New Oriental to not be limited by the source of the film.

If Success Cinemas really joins the Xiangjiang Cinemas chain, it will definitely attract a large number of independent producers to show their films in the Xiangjiang Cinemas.

Until then, the movies that Lin Daoqiu and the others don't want will be released in Dibao Cinema. This is equivalent to eating Lin Daoqiu and the others' leftovers.

Shun Jianxun didn't know how to answer Pan Disheng's words, because although he was very sure that Success Cinemas would definitely not join the Heung Kong Cinemas, this was just his guess.

He doesn't even dare to say that it's 100% impossible. Now he's just saying that it's not very likely, but that doesn't mean it's not possible.

"Do we really have to agree to them and hand over the overseas agency rights of United Cinemas to them?"

Cen Jianxun knew very well what Liao Bingxue wanted, but if the overseas agency rights were handed over to them, it would be too risky for Dibao Cinemas.

"It's only one year. As long as we beat Xiangjiang Cinemas in the Lunar New Year festival after the Chinese New Year, we will get our overseas agency rights back next year."

Pan Disheng thought very simply. He only wanted to defeat Lin Daoqiu and the others first, and then he would consider other things after this matter was over.

Hearing what Pan Di said, Cen Jianxun had no idea. He turned to look at Sammo Hung next to him, wondering if he had anything to say.

"Mr. Pan is right. The most important thing now for Dibao is to make a head start. The overseas agency rights will be given to them for one year, and we will take them back next year."

Sammo Hung clearly remembers that Liao Bingxue said at that time that if Pan Di said they were not satisfied within one year, they could take back the overseas agency rights.

Since Liao Bingxue has said this, Sammo Hung feels that when the time comes, they will not hesitate to take back the overseas agency rights.

"Since both of you have no objections, I'll call Wu Siyuan right now."

Cen Jianxun is the one who opposes the most strongly, but now there is no one around him to support him, so he does not continue to persist.

…………

"Mr. Pan is indeed quick to talk, so the matter is settled."

After Wu Siyuan received Pan Disheng's call, a happy smile appeared on his face.

Because the other party has agreed to let them be responsible for the overseas agency rights of United Cinemas for one year.

The last obstacle has been removed, and the formation of a joint theater chain is a matter of course.

For Wu Siyuan, as long as he doesn't have to join the Xiangjiang Cinema Line, he would be very satisfied.

Two weeks after the resumption of business in Xiangjiang Cinemas, Dibao Cinemas joined forces with Success Cinemas to form the second joint cinema chain in Xiangjiang called Baocheng Cinemas.

Judging from the number of cinemas, Xiangjiang Cinemas still has nearly ten more cinemas than Baocheng Cinemas, and most of the cinemas are located in downtown areas.

On the other hand, in the Baocheng Cinema Chain, except for the theaters in Tee Po, which are in good locations, the Berjaya Cinemas chain only has four theaters in good locations, and the other ten theaters are just average.

Not long after Lin Daoqiu left Xiangjiang, he went to Thailand to film a movie. Unexpectedly, Pan Disheng and others created a Baocheng Cinema chain to compete with them during this period.

Suddenly, it can be said that the Hong Kong film industry has returned to its turbulent stage.

Although most people are optimistic that Xiangjiang Cinemas can regain its glory, some people support Baocheng Cinemas and are optimistic that they can defeat Xiangjiang Cinemas.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu, the male protagonist of the incident, was lying on the sofa basking in the sun, as if what happened in Xiangjiang had nothing to do with him.

"Aqiu, don't you care about Baocheng Cinemas at all?"

After two consecutive weeks of high-intensity filming, Lin Daoqiu gave the crew a day off. After all, he had to balance work and rest, and he also had to take good care of Brigitte Lin and not let her work too hard.

But even if she was free, Brigitte Lin couldn't completely relax because she already knew about the Baocheng Cinema Line.

"As soon as Success Cinema came out, I knew that Wu Siyuan would definitely join forces with Pan Disheng. Since it was definitely going to happen, why should I care."

Lin Daoqiu looked very relaxed, and it seemed that he didn't take Baocheng Cinema Line seriously at all.

"It is said that Baocheng Cinema Chain has bet on next year's Spring Festival. Maijia and the others are under a lot of pressure."

"Plan A" versus "The Best of Us", judging from the freshness of the movie and the appeal of the stars, it is clear that "Plan A" has the advantage.

Even if Lin Daoqiu had to choose, he would choose to watch "Plan A".

What he is curious about is how "Plan A" will turn out when the protagonist Jackie Chan is replaced by Sammo Hung. This is really a curious thing.

"Hey...I'm talking to you, why are you ignoring me?"

Brigitte Lin found that after she finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu did not answer her, but instead giggled. She didn't know what he was grinning about.
