Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

The audience has not yet entered the venue, and everyone is relatively casual. They leave their seats and chat with familiar friends.

Yang Ye came in and saw Liu Xiaoqing. She was sitting with an elderly man and a young handsome boy.

The old man is the great director Li Hanxiang, and the handsome young man is the future actor Liang Jiahui.

Yang Ye leaned over and said with a smile: "Lao Li, I just came back from Japan. Your movies are selling well in Japan!"

Li Hanxiang's "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" has just been released in Japan, grossing 13 billion yen at the box office.

This era was a low point for Japanese films, and it became a dumping ground for Hong Kong films. Many Hong Kong films achieved box office success in Japan.

When "Burning the Old Summer Palace" was released in Hong Kong last year, it grossed HK$1540 million at the box office. It received five nominations for the Academy Awards this year, making it a popular film.

Liu Xiaoqing was also nominated for Best Actress. She came to compete for the throne of Best Actress.

Li Hanxiang smiled and said: "Compared with you, Mr. Yang, it's just a small fight!"

This is true. Although Li Hanxiang's 13 billion yen in Japan is already impressive, Yang Ye's box office in Japan has never been less than 20 billion, which is a real box office myth.

Li Hanxiang then introduced two of his actors to Yang Ye.

Liang Jiahui shook hands with Yang Ye excitedly: "Hello, Mr. Yang, I have watched all your movies."

Yang Ye smiled and said, "I watched your movie, Jiahui, you did a great job!"

"You flatter me!"

Yang Ye shook hands with Liu Xiaoqing again: "Comrade Xiaoqing, long time no see!"

In front of so many people, Liu Xiaoqing was also very sensible and said with a smile: "Director Yang, long time no see!"

Li Hanxiang said in surprise: "So you guys know each other?"

Yang Ye said: "Yes, we met four years ago!"

Liu Xiaoqing explained: "Director Yang was the guest of honor at the third Hundred Flowers Awards four years ago, and we have met since then."

"That's it!" Li Hanxiang suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Young Master Yang, you went to the mainland early enough!"

Yang Ye said: "Go early and get rich early, it's not too late for you!"

The Chinese Academy of Sciences in the Mainland suddenly cheated and built a Chinese computer that was as powerful as IBM, which really shocked the world.

Before this, due to the limited processing power of computers, people had to use Chinese cards to assist when inputting Chinese and printing Chinese characters.

However, the Chinese computers invented in China do not need this stuff at all and can be used directly.

This is awesome!

However, the first reaction of overseas Chinese is...this is bragging!
It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and run around!
The Chinese Academy of Sciences manufactured computers for civilian use, established a computer company in Shenzhen, and began selling computers and exporting them overseas.

Once you try this thing, you will know that it is really easy to use, so the Hanka Company in Taiwan went bankrupt in minutes.

Because of this incident, the fate of some people in the country will also change.

For example, the concept of "American imperialism's conscience" will probably never appear again.

Historically, as the state cut funding for computing institutes and laid off employees, the leaders of the institutes let some employees go out and set up computing institute companies, and gave many green lights, such as directly displaying the name of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

This company later became Guangxinxiang, and Guangxinxiang made its first pot of gold by selling Hanka!

Now, it is impossible to reduce the funding of the computer institute, and it is impossible to lay off employees. Everything must be...increased efforts!
Then, in Wuhan, there was a young man who wanted to make a fortune because of his conscience. He also made his own Hanka and used the trump card that he had used all his life. I made small profits but quick turnover, and made my first pot of gold. This guy’s last name is Lei!
In the beautiful small town of Zhuhai, there was a person named Shit who also created his own Hanka and made his first pot of gold.

All in all, the first pot of gold for Liu, Lei, Shit and many others is now gone.

Yang Ye doesn't know how their fate will develop in the future!
Now, because the mainland has developed such an awesome thing, many people’s impressions of the mainland have undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the eyes of many people, the mainland is now where China’s hope lies!
When Zhu Bangfu, the inventor of Hanka, who was forced to travel to the United States, heard the news, he excitedly carried his luggage and went to work in Shenzhen.

This is a digression. All in all, Hong Kong people’s mentality towards the Mainland has undergone some subtle changes. The most obvious one is that Hong Kong filmmakers are thinking about filming in the Mainland.

Go first and seize the opportunity.

However, the negotiations are not over yet. Before the situation becomes clear, many people still only keep it in their mouths or even in their hearts.

In fact, we are all smart people. It’s not that we don’t understand the difference between providing help in times of need and adding icing on the cake.

It’s just that most people want stability and don’t want to take risks!
……

After everyone chatted for a while, the audience began to enter the venue, and everyone returned to their seats.

Yang Ye was in the front row, sitting with several film industry tycoons and government officials.

As soon as this guy sat back, he chatted quietly with Zhang Minyi next to him.

Zhang Minyi had not seen Yang Ye for several months, and they were very happy to chat. However, in public, the two of them only talked about movies in low voices.

Zhang Minyi sighed: "I really didn't expect that the Academy Awards could reach this point."

Yang Ye said: "With the prosperity of Hong Kong's film industry, the influence of film awards will naturally increase. This is normal, and it is also thanks to the strong support of the Hong Kong government."

"It's only because of your skills as filmmakers that today's grand occasion is possible. We civil servants are just doing our jobs and we don't dare to take credit!"

"How could it be possible? For example, the Hong Kong government has legislated for shooting street explosion scenes, which makes it very convenient for us to shoot. All of us filmmakers are very grateful."

The two of them talked seriously and blew rainbow farts at each other.

"By the way, if eldest sister is free, I'll treat you to a casual meal some other time." Zhang Minyi's nickname in the circle is eldest sister, and everyone calls her that.

"We civil servants cannot accept food invitations."

"What kind of treat is a dinner party between friends? I know a shop that makes plump and juicy abalone. I like it very much and want to share it with you."

Zhang Minyi cursed in her heart: This bastard said something crazy in public.

However, she felt inexplicably irritated and said, "Okay, you treat me to dinner, and I'll give you a gift, as a courtesy!"

Yang Ye asked: "What gift?"

Zhang Minyi said: "I have a Jinhua ham at home. It's very high-quality and very delicious!"

"That's right. It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. How about tomorrow?"

"Okay!"

……

A burst of cheerful music sounded, and there was a burst of warm applause from the stands.

Nine little girls came on the stage, jumped up and down, and sweetly sang "You Are the Most Popular" to the guests!
"Congratulations! You are the most favored person. Career and love are all organic.

Create the current situation, the sky and the earth will be red, and the world will turn around you.

Shoot commercials, release records, be blessed and lucky, and fulfill the legend of this new generation of celebrities.

If there is an award ceremony, you will be there, long live long live ten thousand live..."

The youthful atmosphere and auspicious lyrics made the guests in the audience laugh.

Run Run Shaw liked beautiful women the most. He felt very comfortable when he saw them. He couldn't help but said to Yang Ye: "Aye, you write good songs!"

Yang Yexin said, I wrote this song, okay? It was the girl who picked it! He smiled and said, "Sir Shao, thank you!"

Girls' Generation has not appeared in Hong Kong for several months. This time they performed as the opening act for the Hong Kong Film Awards, which surprised thousands of spectators at the scene. Who doesn't like to watch beautiful girls?
This ticket is worth buying!

The bosses of the film companies here are planning to invite them to make movies. Their popularity is so high, it would be a waste not to make movies!

After Girls' Generation's performance ended, the Academy Awards officially began.

The first award was given to the Best Newcomer. The award presenter, Xu Anhua, walked onto the stage. After saying hello to everyone, he didn't say much and just invited everyone to watch the big screen.

Then the wonderful performances of the finalists in the movie appeared on the big screen: "The nominees for the Best Newcomer of the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards include Cheng Yuling's "Flower City", Xu Suying's "Half the Man", Leung Ka-wai's "Behind the Curtain", Mok Shaocong's "Martial Arts Sacred Fire Order" and Donnie Yen's "Kowloon Walled City".

Donnie Yen is a little nervous. Last year Li Lianjie failed in his bid for the Best Newcomer. This year he doesn't know if he can succeed!

Xu Anhua opened the envelope and read: "The winner of the Best Newcomer is... Zheng Yuling, "Flower City"!"

When Zhen Zidan heard the name, he was greatly disappointed. Then I thought: Forget it, he can’t get it and I can’t get it. Let’s tie it and compete again!
This year's best music award was split into best soundtrack and best original song, which was won by the Taiwanese film "The Wrong Ride" produced by New Arts City.

The script of "The Wrong Ride" was written by Huang Baiming in just two days, and it grossed more than 40 million at the box office in Taiwan. He is such a damn talent.

But compared to the movie, its music is more meaningful.

Interludes such as "Same Moonlight", "Whether", "Please Follow Me", "If the Wine Is Sold No" are all popular classic songs that have been sung for decades and remain popular.

The original soundtrack of "The Wrong Ride" is a watershed moment in Taiwanese pop music.

A group of outstanding musicians such as Luo Dayou and Su Rui came to the forefront because of this album, which made Taiwanese pop music leap from the era of campus folk songs to the era of modern pop songs.

Next are some technology awards, each of which was won by several companies.

"The Curtain", a co-production between the Mainland and Hong Kong, won the best art design.

"Half Man" produced by Yindu Institution won the best editing award.

Shaw Brothers' production of "Flower City" won best cinematography.

"New Shushan Swordsman" produced by Jiahe won the best visual effects.

Although the movie was produced by Jiahe, the winner has nothing to do with Jiahe, because the special effects in Shushan were produced by Yang Ye's Ziqi Company.

Yang Mingxin, the head of Ziqi Company, walked quickly onto the stage, took the trophy from the presenter Xia Meng, said thank you to his eldest sister, then raised the trophy and said: "Thank you to the Academy Awards for giving this award to We at Ziqidonglai Special Effects Company, this award belongs to all our employees at Ziji, I am just here to receive it on my behalf.

In recent years, there have been some visual blockbusters with gorgeous special effects in Hong Kong movies, such as "The Terminator" directed by Yang, "The New Swordsman of Shushan" directed by Xu, "The Peacock King" directed by Lan, etc. These movies are all part of our Purple Memory For those who participated in the production, I can proudly say that our visual effects level is not inferior to that of Hollywood! "

As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into warm applause. The visual effects of those movies were indeed gorgeous, and Yang Mingxin's words also made everyone very happy.

After everyone applauded, Yang Mingxin continued: "Visual effects are the future development trend of the film industry. Hollywood has been actively investing and constantly innovating technology, and our Hong Kong films cannot fall behind.

This seems to be an advertisement for myself, but I am here to advertise. If you want to make a movie and need special effects, you can come to us at Ziji and we will get a 20% discount for you. Thank you everyone! "

After saying this, Yang Mingxin raised the trophy and walked off the stage in a dashing manner.

He talked a lot, but no one listened.

It costs money to make special effects. Although "Terminator" made a lot of money, "New Shushan Swordsman" lost all its money, but everyone can see it.

Most people who make movies just want to follow the trend and make a fortune. Why take such a big risk?

Only one person really listened! (End of chapter)
