Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

The Asian cinema chain is a big plan for Lin Daoqiu in the future.

In Hong Kong, Baodao and several countries in Southeast Asia, it would not be too difficult for Lin Daoqiu to build a theater chain.

It's just that the situation in Hanguo and Neon is a bit special. If Lin Daoqiu wants to open a theater there, the difficulty can be said to be extraordinary.

Therefore, Lin Daoqiu's current focus is still on markets other than Hanguo and Neon, and accelerating the pace of layout.

The first thing he needs to do now is the theater chain in Xiangjiang and Baodao.

Judging from Wu Chou's feedback to him, the progress on Baodao is pretty good, and forty theaters have been secured in the early stage.

Wu Chou said that if he works hard, it should double or even reach 100 companies in two years.

Lin Daoqiu's expectation for the Baodao theater chain is that 80 theaters will be good, but too many will not work.

However, he hopes that the Baodao Cinema Chain will be opened this year, and the number of theaters must reach at least 50, and they will not be small theaters in remote locations, after all, such theaters only have a few dozen to more than a hundred seats.

Even if he buys ten theaters, they won't be worth the cost of one theater in the city, and it requires a lot of people to manage it. It's just a lot of work and effort. For Lin Daoqiu, the gain outweighs the loss.

So he told Li Maowen from the beginning to tell Wu Chou and others that the acquisition targets could only be theaters in the city.

It is precisely because of such restrictions that so far, Wu Chou can only buy forty homes with his strength in Baodao.

Because the atmosphere in Baodao has been relatively orderly recently, even if Li Zhengnan knew that Lin Daoqiu had arrived in Baodao, he did not show up. He only sent Liao Xiangxiong to the hotel to meet Lin Daoqiu.

During the conversation, Liao Xiangxiong also vaguely reminded Lin Daoqiu that it was best not to mention the TV station now, because it would be useless to mention it.

Lin Daoqiu said that he knew what was appropriate. This time he came to Baodao just for the premiere of "The Swordsman" and he had to deal with theater matters. He was not here to rush Li Zhengnan.

Liao Xiangxiong was very happy when he heard this. After all, Li Zhengnan was so busy now that he almost stayed in the office except for rest time.

But people who know the inside story actually know very well that Li Zhengnan is not as busy as he appears, he is just pretending to be busy.

Although it looks calm outside now, there is actually an undercurrent surging underneath.

For people like Li Zhengnan who have the opportunity to take over the important position, they must keep a low profile at this time and must not make any mistakes or do nothing.

So he came up with a way to pretend to be busy. No one would dare to expose him in person, unless that person was crazy.

Even Liao Xiangxiong himself did not stay in Lin Daoqiu's room for too long. He briefly talked with Lin Daoqiu for less than half an hour and then left.

It can be said that Lin Daoqiu doesn't like the atmosphere of Treasure Island, and he doesn't like to get involved in these messy things.

Fortunately, the premiere of "The Swordsman" is coming soon. Lin Daoqiu can go back to Hong Kong after attending the premiere.

As for the theater chain issue, Wu Chou has been dealing with it. After all, this time he is just asking him to buy a theater chain, so it is not a very difficult matter.

This time when Wu Chou was asked to buy a theater, Lin Daoqiu strictly prohibited any extortion. He would give him as much as he deserved, and he could not use shady means to negotiate business.

Wu Chou repeatedly stated that he would never do this, and although he was in Mu Lian, he had rarely asked about Mu Lian's affairs in the past few years.

Especially after the boss of Mu Lian was brought in by the Qing Dynasty Project, Mu Lian's activities were not as rampant as before.

But even so, Mu Lian is still the largest force in Treasure Island at this time, and this has not changed.

Wu Chou and Lin Daoqiu have been dating for many years. He increasingly felt that staying on the road was not a good path, so he decided to change his career to clear his name.

If it had been anyone else, it would have been very difficult to truly clean up the case.

However, Wu Chou's luck can be said to be very good. He met Lin Daoqiu, and with his support, his transformation journey can be said to be very easy.

Wu Chou was also very grateful to Lin Daoqiu, so when it came to buying the theater this time, he completely followed Lin Daoqiu's words.

You must know that Wu Chou used to be known as a ghost-seeking guy, but for Lin Daoqiu, he has become a good gentleman, which really makes people surprised.

…………

At the beginning of the night, on one of the busiest streets in Bei City, a large group of people in suits gathered around a theater.

Today is the premiere day of "The Swordsman", and many spectators who came here have already bought their tickets and plan to enter.

Although this is a costume drama, it can be said that Brigitte Lin participated in this drama, which is very attractive to the audience in Baodao.

Not to mention that "The Swordsman" is one of the most famous novels written by Jin Yong. There are countless readers who have read this book. Everyone is also curious about what King Hu and Tsui Hark made of "The Swordsman".

Sample.

"The pre-sale situation is very good. Just now all the tickets for today have been sold out."

Fang Jinsheng had been keeping an eye on the ticket sales. When all the theaters were sold out, he immediately reported to Lin Daoqiu.

"This is a good start. I believe that after everyone watches this drama, as word of mouth grows, the box office will definitely get better and better."

Lin Daoqiu is still very confident in "Swordsman". After all, the plot of this drama has been slightly modified, but "A Smile in the Sea" has still become the theme song of this drama.

In Lin Daoqiu's view, "The Swordsman" should set off a new wave of martial arts movies in the entire Chinese world just like it did before.

"What do you think of the sequel?"

The premiere started in half an hour, and Lin Daoqiu and the main creator of "The Swordsman" were still waiting in a nearby hotel.

Before going to the theater, Lin Daoqiu and Tsui Hark chatted about the sequel to "The Swordsman".

Before the movie was released, Lin Daoqiu was already talking to himself about the sequel, which was naturally a good thing for Tsui Hark.

But before he answered Lin Daoqiu, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Hu Jinquan next to him.

After noticing Tsui Hark's strange behavior, Lin Daoqiu could probably guess what Tsui Hark was thinking.

During the filming of the previous film "The Swordsman", Tsui Hark and King Hu had a lot of conflicts. In the later stages, King Hu was so angry that he even left. In the end, it was Tsui Hark who finished the film.

In this life, Tsui Hark and Hu Jinquan did not fall out because of their pressure.

But looking at Tsui Hark's appearance, we can tell that if "The Swordsman" were to be filmed as a sequel, he would be unlikely to want to collaborate with King Hu.
