The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 684 The Butterfly Effect! (Seeking monthly votes)
Nanhua not only has a thriving film industry, but also industries such as television dramas, novels, and comics are quite developed.

This is at least in comparison to Southeast Asia, and also to the situation in China at that time.

Various types of products flourished, and no single type became dominant.

For example, the "scar literature" popular in China simply doesn't exist in Nanhua University.

If we're really going to be precise, the mainstream literature in Nanhua University holds so-called "scar literature" in utter contempt.

Damn, everyone was sent to the countryside, but Wu Aiguo relied on the strength of a large number of educated youth to build a huge foundation.

This has provided overseas Chinese with a huge new source of livelihood.

In contrast, everyone knows how so-called "scar literature" came about in China, but it simply didn't have the fertile ground to thrive here at Nanhua University.

At this time, the mainstream literature in Nanhua was mainly about construction.

This perfectly describes the current situation in Nanhua: a frenzy of infrastructure construction!
Whether describing a group or an individual, the writing conveys a positive and uplifting spirit.

Absolutely understandable!

No matter how you participate in the massive construction of Nanhua, as long as you put in the effort, you will be rewarded accordingly.

This is the most positive feedback!
In this context, all kinds of materials, whether written or visual, as well as TV series, movies, comics, or other reading materials, contain a positive and uplifting spirit.

Take novels, for example; martial arts is just one major category.

The real trend is the gradual rise of fantasy and martial arts genres, as well as military genres, urban construction genres, and farming genres.

Similarly, famous martial arts novelists such as Jin Yong, Gu Long, Wen Ruian, and Liang Yusheng, who are popular in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and even the Chinese-speaking world, are only moderately famous in Nanhua University.

Of course, classic martial arts dramas filmed in Hong Kong are quite popular in South China, but that's about it.

Dramas about family feuds, rural life, and urban dramas adapted from various fantastical events in Hong Kong only manage to achieve a certain level of viewership.

Despite being only ten years old, Nanhua University has developed its own unique characteristics in both mainstream culture and entertainment.

Furthermore, as Nanhua's strength continues to grow, it is rapidly influencing neighboring countries and regions.

Similarly, only high-quality films and television dramas from Hong Kong can earn sufficient profits on the South China Film Group website.

Conversely, Hong Kong Island, influenced by the entertainment culture of South China, has deviated from the normal world in the development of its entertainment industry.

For example, Bruce Lee was a very famous movie star in South China.

But his status as a martial arts master has attracted even more attention in Nanhua!

Ahem, that's right, Bruce Lee in this world didn't die.

Naturally, it is the butterfly effect brought about by Wu Aiguo's existence.

He had received an invitation from Nanhua University a long time ago and had visited there quietly.

No one outside knew what Bruce Lee had witnessed in South China.

In short, he actively participated in various fighting competitions organized within the Kowloon Walled City, which was secretly controlled by Nan Wah.

He spared no expense in using his own fame to attract viewers to the fighting competitions in Kowloon Walled City.

At the same time, he became obsessed with traditional martial arts training.

And so, he naturally didn't go off to have a private life or do any electric shock training, and he didn't suddenly die either.

He didn't die, so he naturally finished filming his masterpiece, "Game of Death"!
That was truly the pinnacle of kung fu movies!

The global box office reached a staggering nearly 300 million dollars. But everything, including the universe, is subject to the inevitable rise and fall.

Bruce Lee was no exception!

After filming "Game of Death," his global fame reached its peak, and then began to decline slowly.

Kung Fu movies are not the mainstream of the American film industry!
Besides, how could Hollywood possibly allow a movie star of color to have more influence and popularity than a white star?

Another point is that in Bruce Lee's movies, there are various instances of him beating up white people and foreigners.

Such plots may seem interesting at first when they are novel, but after watching too many films like this, they will naturally cause a backlash.

Similarly, since "Game of Death," Bruce Lee's kung fu movies have remained popular, but their popularity has gradually waned.

Fortunately, this person is not just a movie star!

More like a martial artist who promotes his martial arts philosophy through movies.

In any case, he is the benchmark and flag bearer of kung fu movies in the film industry!

Any film of decent quality would have grossed over $100 million at the box office, making them financially independent long ago.

Therefore, Bruce Lee devoted more time and energy to improving his martial arts skills and promoting Jeet Kune Do.

Under these circumstances, Bruce Lee became a world-renowned martial arts master, whose reputation was in no way inferior to that of kung fu movie stars.

Within South China, his title as a martial arts master certainly attracts more attention than his title as a movie star.

It's important to know that students at Nanhua University start learning Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade) from elementary school and continue until they graduate from university.

After more than a decade of dedicated training, his physical fitness is exceptionally strong, especially with just a little effort.

If you learn martial arts during your university years, your strength will be formidable.

With the deliberate guidance of the Nanhua government, everyone has developed a great interest in practicing martial arts.

If we're talking about the most famous fighting center in East and Southeast Asia, it has to be Nanhua.

The fighting competitions held in Kowloon Walled City on Hong Kong Island ultimately fell short of expectations.

Bruce Lee also participated in fighting competitions held in South China!
He participated three times, winning once but falling short in the finals twice.

It can be said that each time it caused a huge uproar!
The more He Fan understood these things, the more attentive he became to the martial arts taught at the school, and he showed almost no sign of slacking off.

From returning to school to the start of the new semester, there were less than ten days.

He Fan's understanding of Nanhua, gained through movies, TV series, novels, comics, and news programs, remains very one-sided.

But he also keenly sensed that Nanhua possessed a unique charm that deeply attracted his attention.

Unfortunately, once the Lantern Festival was over, the school entered its formal teaching mode.

The atmosphere of the entire school changed instantly, and all students, including teachers, were caught up in the heavy academic workload.

Apart from those top students who excel academically, all other students who want to graduate smoothly need to devote most of their energy to studying.

They felt as if they were still enjoying the afterglow of the noisy New Year celebrations, but the next moment it turned into a serious learning environment, giving them no chance to breathe, and demanding heavy academic burdens.

Under such circumstances, how could He Fan possibly have the mind to investigate the real Nanhua?
He wished he could devote all his thoughts and energy to studying and physical exercise. He didn't necessarily have to get a school scholarship, but he couldn't afford to be at the bottom of the class; he couldn't bear the embarrassment.

Meanwhile, a business delegation from Hong Kong Island arrived in Beijing.
