Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"I didn't expect this day to come."

Shi Tian was the first to react, but it seemed that his mood at the moment could only be described as very depressed.

If five minutes ago, he was full of energy and wanted to make "New Shushan Swordsman" a success.

Now Shi Tian feels that no matter how good the film is, it will be of no use to them.

"Let's find a place to have a few drinks."

Shi Tian even stepped forward and put his arm around Zeng Zhiwei's shoulders, intending to have a few drinks with him to drown his sorrows.

Zeng Zhiwei is also confused now, but he also feels that it might be a good idea to go for a drink now.

"Lao Xu, do you want to go together?"

After the two of them took a few steps forward, Eric Tsang suddenly turned around and asked Tsui Hark.

"You go ahead, I still want to film."

Tsui Hark replied with a smile.

Although he was smiling, it seemed that Tsui Hark's smile had a bitter meaning.

"New Shushan Swordsman" was a big investment that he finally got.

Although the current success or failure of this drama is no longer as meaningful to Tsui Hark as it was before.

But for him, filming this movie well is his most important task now.

As long as "New Shushan Swordsman" can be made into a classic, he will have no regrets even if he leaves the Hong Kong film industry.

"I'm sorry, Lao Xu, we're really not in the mood to help you film right now, sorry."

Shi Tian and Eric Tsang are very confused right now. If they stay on the set to help, they will only become more and more busy.

Tsui Hark also expressed his understanding of this. After all, this drama actually has nothing to do with them.

After Shi Tian and Eric Tsang left, the other actors on the scene looked at Tsui Hark with blank expressions.

No one knew what happened, but looking at the looks of Eric Tsang and Shi Tian, ​​it didn't seem too good.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's continue filming."

After hearing what Tsui Hark said, everyone got back into the intense filming.

Now "New Shushan Swordsman" has finished filming more than 90% of the scenes, and it will be completed soon.

Moreover, the remuneration and other things have already been paid to the actors. For them, even if the play is cancelled, they will not suffer any loss.

But for Tsui Hark, there is another thing that gives him a very headache.

That is where it should be released after "New Shushan Swordsman" is finished filming.

If the Kowloon Cinema Chain is sold, the Baojia Cinema Chain will naturally cease to exist.

I don’t know what the attitude of Jiahe is. Whether they are willing to let “New Shushan Swordsman” be released in Jiahe Cinemas is still a question.

After filming on the set, Tsui Hark returned home dragging his exhausted body.

As soon as he walked to the sofa and sat down, Shi Nansheng walked out of the room inside.

"You should know about the Kowloon Cinema Line."

Shi Nansheng sat next to Tsui Hark and asked in a low voice. In fact, she had just learned about it not long ago.

Tsui Hark didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

"I guess it won't be long before Golden Harvest buys the Kowloon Cinema Line. Now we should go to Golden Harvest to talk about the release of this movie."

Since Bao Shaogang is about to sell the Kowloon Cinema Line to Golden Harvest, he doesn't know if he will be involved in the release of "New Shushan Swordsman".

"Don't worry, Mr. Bao invested 50 million. Of course he doesn't want to see the money go down the drain. I believe he will make arrangements."

On the way back, Tsui Hark had already figured it out.

Bao Shaogang invested a full 50 million in this "New Shushan Swordsman".

No matter what Bao Shaogang did, he would never throw the 50 million into the water and ignore it.

"It seems like I'm overly worried, but after "New Shushan Swordsman" is released, what are you going to do next?"

The release of "New Shushan Swordsman" is one thing, but the most important thing is what Tsui Hark will do after Bao Shaogang quits.

"Let's first ask what Jiahe means. If they don't accept it, let's find another job. Anyway, we'll definitely be able to survive without starving to death."

Tsui Hark looked very attentive.

Although he said he wanted to ask Jiahe about his intentions, Tsui Hark himself didn't think that Jiahe would dare to accept people like them.

If Jiahe really does this, it will be tantamount to actively declaring war on New Oriental.

Even though Lin Daoqiu was usually very talkative, Tsui Hark knew very well that he would never let traitors like them off easily.

"How about... I'll go talk to Mr. Lin."

After Shi Nansheng hesitated for a few seconds, he finally said this.

Regarding Shi Nansheng's suggestion, Tsui Hark just smiled and shook his head.

"Okay, don't worry about me. Even if I can't make a movie, I can still do other work. I'm covered in stinky sweat after a long day of work, so I'm going to take a shower first."

After gently patting Shi Nansheng on the shoulder, Tsui Hark stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

Looking at Tsui Hark's lonely back, Shi Nansheng's heart felt as if someone was grabbing it, and the pain was unbearable.

…………

As time goes by, it can be said that the negotiations between Kowloon Cinema Line and Golden Harvest are progressing very smoothly.

In terms of price, there was not much difference between the two parties. Kowloon Cinemas offered 250 million, while Golden Harvest counter-offered 230 million.

Although there seems to be a difference of 20 million, with Bao Shaogang eager to sell the Kowloon Cinema Line, this stalemate will not last long.

"In three more days, the deal should be concluded. Mr. Lin needs to be prepared."

The person speaking on the other end of the phone was Shi Wenyan, the general manager of Kowloon Cinemas.

I'm afraid no one can imagine that from the very beginning, she was a secret chess piece played by Lin Daoqiu in Baojia Cinema.

From being the deputy general manager of Xiangjiang Cinemas to now being the general manager of Baojia Cinemas, Lin Daoqiu has never given any instructions to Shi Wenyan.

If such a serious emergency had not occurred this time, Shi Wenyan would never have taken the initiative to call Lin Daoqiu to inform him.

"It seems that Jiahe is determined this time and must confront me."

Since Lin Daoqiu last had a phone call with He Guanchang, He Guanchang has not contacted him again until now.

"Mr. Lin, do you need me to find a way to delay this for a while?"

Shi Wenyan offered to help Lin Daoqiu delay some more time.

However, Shi Wenyan's proposal was immediately rejected by Lin Daoqiu.

"No need, you can talk about it how you want, I will find a way to deal with it."

After putting down the phone, Lin Daoqiu sat in the office without saying a word.

Golden Harvest's attitude has been very clear, they must buy the Kowloon Cinema Line.

Lin Daoqiu really couldn't understand how Jiahe could have such confidence to dare to fight with him.

Even with Bao Shaogang on their side, Baojia Cinema lost completely. Can't they see it?

"Does it mean that Jiahe still has any hidden cards?"
