Since 1983

From the second half of 1997 to August 1998, international speculators attacked the Hong Kong dollar three times.

Acting simultaneously in the foreign exchange market, stock market and futures market, using 3-month or 6-month Hong Kong dollar futures contracts to buy Hong Kong dollars, and then quickly sell them short, causing the Hong Kong dollar interest rate to rise sharply and the Hang Seng Index to plummet.

In the end, the two sides launched a decisive battle, which is the so-called Hong Kong Financial Defense War.

The overall battle line is relatively long.

...

Mong Kok, cinema.

Brother Pheasant was shirtless and wearing big underpants, squeezed ketchup onto the pictorial of beautiful women on the wall. Not wanting to waste it, she went to lick pia on the wall, when Hong Xin came in...

In the end, they mistakenly thought it was on fire, and the two jumped off the building together.

The movie ends.

When the lights came on, the audience stood up laughing and chatting, discussing the plot enthusiastically, unlike most of the time when they watch bad movies and scold.

Two film critics mixed in with it said with emotion: "The sun is very strong, winning awards and box office, this year's top ten has a place."

"Can this year be the same as previous years, more than 10 million can enter!"

"That's one of the top ten, this movie is really good."

"There are elements of old movies, but it is very novel. I don't know how to describe it. It is a very complete style, not like old movies."

"Youth comedy, it's already famous."

Chatting and walking out, observing in the lobby, there is still a large audience in the next show, mostly young people in their 18s to 20s.

Yes, this film is "color is empty".

First of all, the pornographic scenes were deleted and changed to non-naked passionate scenes, and the dirty jokes were kept, as well as sex with inflatable dolls and the like.

Delete the two scenes of drinking the pot of things and having sex at the beginning, and change it to only eat rat poison.

The rating is still three, but the audience has expanded, especially to female audiences.

The rest is localized. For example, the taekwondo club that the protagonist joined in the original version has become a martial arts club, wearing Bruce Lee costumes...

"Color Is Empty" succeeded in South Korea because it broke through the tradition.

But it may not work in Hong Kong, because there are almost no genres that have not been shot in Hong Kong movies.

There is a kind of vulgar and low-level comedy called Shit, Pee, and Fart. Some plots are even more disgusting. It was once popular in Hong Kong, and many viewers are tired of it.

As mentioned above, Hong Kong has the opportunity to create many types of films, but unfortunately no one digs deep, and they are all bad money.

"Color Is Empty" opened its name with "youth comedy", which made the audience shine. I dare not say that the box office is a big hit, it will definitely be profitable, and overseas filmmakers have come to the door one after another.

That's great!

Hong Kong supports such a huge film industry in such a small area. The most important thing is that it used to be the highest point of Asian films.

Taking the peak year of 1992 as an example, the domestic box office was 1.24 billion Hong Kong dollars and the overseas box office was 1.86 billion.

In 1996, it fell off a cliff, with 650 million domestic and 430 million overseas.

Since then, it has lost overseas market share year after year. The reasons are: old-fashioned local products, brain drain, impact of Hollywood, rise of Korean movies, etc.

Therefore, "Sex Is Empty" has attracted the popularity of overseas filmmakers, and it has indeed attracted media coverage. Brother Pheasant is well received, and his exposure is even higher than the bonus of "Young and Dangerous".

Sunshine Pictures made persistent efforts and launched another "My Sassy Girlfriend".

………………

Teacher Xu has returned to Beijing.

"The Wind" was released on September 5. Before that, several trial screenings were held in Shanghai, Yangcheng and other places. The manuscripts were flying all over the sky, and the audience was anxiously scratching their hearts and lungs.

Quite the posture of "Hero" back then.

As the date approached, another news broke out: "The Wind" will hold its premiere in the Great Hall.

Ordinary people don't know that the Great Hall is rented out, and when they hear about this place, they are instantly filled with space. In the venue of thousands of people, there are almost no ordinary audiences, all of them are famous and famous people.

Chen Kexin was proud of sweeping the Hong Kong Film Awards, but when he looked at the guest list...unknowingly, he decided to show his favor and save himself a way out.

After all, the mainland has such a large population. If the film industry really wants to develop, how big is the market?

At noon, at the entrance of the Great Hall.

The reporters are used to it, you will love to come or not for anything related to the world!

It was the same this time. In the past, the invitations to the premiere were sent by the organizers, but this time they had to receive them themselves. Beginning at 1:30, journalists had to enter the arena one hour earlier, and they had to wear formal attire and hold valid documents.

"What a hassle!"

"Let's say a few words, it's all for nothing."

"That is, who let others have a face."

A group of people murmured into the gate, first went through a security check, and then checked tickets. Only when the number on the invitation is the same as the ID number can you enter, and then store the bag and equipment.

Not to mention cameras, even cameras and watches are not allowed to be worn.

After finally tossing and tossing, they went into the hall and sat down, and scolded their mothers together: "Fuck, it's too strict, isn't it?"

"Is it an anti-piracy version? No wonder it's an hour in advance, the procedure is too complicated."

"Hey, who is here today? Is there a national leader?"

"Maybe, hey...he's entered."

The reporters stopped and looked towards the entrance, and the guests also began to enter. The first one was familiar. The director and deputy director of CCTV came in to have a look and find their own seats.

Following the leaders of Beijing and Taiwan, the leaders of relevant departments in Beijing, David from Colombia, the heads of various film groups, the leaders of relevant national departments, and Sun and Zhao Quan from Radio and Television came.

The premiere was organized by Radio and Television in person, after all, there is only one seedling left.

Chen Kexin didn't know anyone, Xu Fei took care of him and smirked at the boy. Just after greeting Sun and Zhao, Li Mu arrived again. After chatting with Li Mu, he turned around and saw Leader Tian, ​​Wu Mengchen, and Dou Shoufang again.

"Long time no see, long time no see!"

Teacher Xu was very excited and shook hands one by one, "How are you doing recently?"

"Do things with your head down and ignore the wind and rain." Leader Tian smiled.

"As usual, drink tea and read the newspaper." Dou Shoufang said.

"How are you doing? "The Mansion Gate" is doing very well, and the focus has shifted to TV dramas?" Wu Mengchen asked.

"Both bloom, do both."

Xu Fei led the three to sit down and chatted for a while. Before leaving, Leader Tian suddenly patted him on the shoulder, "Next year, there may be big moves."

"Um?"

He didn't have time to think about it, and received guests again, and only pondered when he had time.

After Leader Tian was reassigned, he kept quiet and seldom performed public activities. This time actually participated in the premiere...

He vaguely guessed: In less than two years since the 9550 project was launched in 1996, the film market, which was still a little vibrant, has become more and more depressed.

The higher authorities want to revitalize the industry and increase production. As a result, the industry declined, production dropped sharply, and "The Opium War", which had high hopes, also performed mediocrely, and there was no surprise at all.

What does this mean? It shows that the decision was wrong! If you want face, you don't have face, if you want face, you don't have face.

There are also a lot of scams.

"President Xu!"

"Leader Sun!"

While he was thinking about it, a staff member ran over in a panic and said, "Comrade XXX is here!"

"who?"

The other party repeated it.

Leader Sun was taken aback. Although he didn't enter the elders' home, he was also the leader in charge of the arts and literature, so he hurried to receive him.

"I made a temporary decision to cause you trouble."

The big leader was naturally approachable, and said with a smile, "Where's Comrade Xu Fei?"

"Hello, I didn't expect you to come." Teacher Xu greeted.

"Support the film industry! Some comrades have already seen it, and they all agree, I will come and watch it too. You are busy, you are busy..."

After greeting each other, they each received the guests.

Tsk!

Teacher Xu smashed his mouth carefully, this is an official endorsement!
