Chapter 204 Wind and Clouds

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
The filming in Macau took only one day and midnight, and the crew of "The Legend of the Sword" was completed and returned to Hong Kong.

When Kang Jianfei was busy with post-production, Li Pengfei also flew to Beijing with his young talent group.

The first thing they contacted was the Hong Kong and Macao Office of the State Council. The Hong Kong and Macao Office saw that it was a large petition group for Hong Kong compatriots, and they did not dare to neglect them. They arranged for them to rest at the Six Kingdoms Hotel and quickly reported the news.

Li Pengfei and 20 young elites from Hong Kong business circles have been staying at the Six Kingdoms Hotel for 6 days, and the No. 1 leader finally met them in Zhongnanhai.

20 Hong Kong youths spread the benefits of Hong Kong's governance and sovereignty, and the old man kept listening and smiling. After half an hour, he used his strong Sichuan voice to say firmly: Hong Kong is China's territory, and all rights should be taken back.Your concerns are also redundant. If the British can manage them well, we Chinese can do it too... You can come to the capital and play around and take a look at the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.You can also go to Shenzhen to see the Communist Party’s determination to reform and opening up.

The old man left after saying that, leaving 20 Hong Kong elites in Zhongnanhai staring at each other.They came to petition and force the palace, but they did not expect that they were rejected directly by the supreme leader and did not say much to them at all.

So, the petition group became a tourism inspection tour group. They first made a walk around Beijing, and then went to Shenzhen with government personnel.

Half a month later, 14 of the 20-person group returned to Hong Kong, and the remaining 6 stayed to discuss investment and factory construction with SAR officials.

Although the petition group was easily sent, the leaders were wary of such a large-scale petition for Hong Kong people.

Chief, this is an internal reference sent by a comrade from Hong Kong.

A thick stack of internal references has been written for more than ten pages, which clearly explains the attitudes of all sectors of Hong Kong society towards the Hong Kong issue. It also says that the Hong Kong people are generally worried now and hope that the central government can make a decision early to calm the hearts of Hong Kong people.

The old man put down his inner reference and smiled: That young man named Kang Jianfei is very interesting. He also knows what one country, two systems is, and he has a very political vision.

The subordinate pointed to another document on the table and said: Those documents are the resumes of some Hong Kong people who can unite, and Kang Jianfei's resume is also included.

The old man opened it and saw that it read:

Kang Jianfei, whose original name is Kang Aiguo; male; native place: xx village, Bao'an, Guangdong; born on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month in 1961 (August 17); third generation of poor peasants lost their father at a young age, and his mother died of illness in June 1979.

In early September 1979, Kang Jianfei and his fellow villager Hu Juncai (formerly known as Hu Yuejin) fled to the port and obtained their Hong Kong ID card in the same month. In October, under the introduction of his cousin, he joined Shaw Pictures to work. The drama "Shanghai Bund" written by him has become popular in Southeast Asia.

In November 1979, Kang Jianfei's martial arts novel "The Legend of Qin" was published in the right-wing newspaper "Oriental Daily". There were many viewers, which brought the troubled "Oriental Daily" back to life.

In the same month, Kang Jianfei registered Oriental Dream Factory Film Company and paid 500,000 yuan in advance from Oriental Daily, all of which were used to shoot the movie "Happy Ghost".

In February 1980, "Happy Ghost" was released in Princess Jin's theater, breaking the Hong Kong box office record, with a box office of more than 13 million in Hong Kong.

In April 1980, Kang Jianfei encountered four Vietnamese robbers with guns on the road, and killed two people on the spot and knocked one out of the way.

In July 1980, Kang Jianfei's movie "Mr. Zombie" was released, breaking the box office of Hong Kong movies once again...

From January to April 1981, Kang Jianfei's movie "The Royal Sister" caused a sensation in Japan and the United States, and Kang Jianfei's net worth exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars...

After reading it, the old man smiled and said: This young man is very capable, he is both literary and martial, so he didn't find out which teacher he is?

There was only one old man sent to the village, and he was indeed a professor, but he died shortly after returning to the city. His children didn't know how many skills he had.

The old man said: You are a comrade in the Hong Kong propaganda guild. Don’t worry, imperialism declares war, we will just take the initiative.This war does not require a head-on confrontation, it can be roundabout and indirect.The Hong Kong compatriots explained in the newspaper do not believe that they can strengthen more people's exchanges.Just like when the diplomatic relations with the United States was established, we organized athletes to play table tennis in Hong Kong, and our writers sent a group to conduct cultural exchanges with Hong Kong writers... I heard that people there like martial arts, so we asked our martial arts team to go to Hong Kong to exchange and perform for a few months...

Seven days later, Shaolin Temple.

"Shaolin Temple" director Zhang Xinyan stood behind the viewfinder and looked at the camera. A man suddenly ran in outside and ran to Zhang Xinyan panting.

Zhang Xinyan looked back and asked in surprise: Lao Wu, why did you come from Beijing to Shaolin Temple?

The person coming was Jet Li's coach Wu Bing. He gasped for a while and said: You don't have a phone number here, so I have to go there myself.

Zhang Xinyan asked: Is there anything wrong?

Wu Bing said: The superior instructed us to convene the best martial arts athletes in the country and form a Chinese martial arts exchange team to perform in Hong Kong.

Zhang Xinyan looked bad and said: Are you going to let Jet Li go?

Wu Bing said: Of course he wants to go. Xiao Li is the best martial arts athlete in the country, and I am going to let him lead the team.

Zhang Xinyan shook his head and said: No, what should I do if he left my movie?

Wu Bing said angrily: You are so true. A movie has been filmed for almost a year and has not been finished yet. All my athletes under me have been delayed by you.

Zhang Xinyan explained: Making movies is artistic creation, and of course it requires careful craftsmanship.

Wu Bing was too lazy to reason with him and said: I don’t care, just give me a accurate letter, how long will it take to finish the filming?

Zhang Xinyan frowned and thought: It will take at least one month.

Wu Bing said: OK, it’s a matter of determination. I will pick you up in a month, regardless of whether you have finished the filming or not.

……

When Zhang Xinyan had a headache, Lei Juekun was also in a state of anxiety.

Just as Lei Juekun was proud and was about to expand the scale of Princess Jin Cinemas, ready to show his strength, Sun Hung Kai suddenly took action against Kowloon Bus.

After half a month of acquisition war, Feng Jingxi of Sun Hung Kai has become the second largest shareholder of KBA, and has no intention of stopping.

The Kowloon Bus is Lei Juekun's foundation, and he was immediately distracted.

Since the mainland has carried out reform and opening up, the Hong Kong stock market has broken the situation, and the Hang Seng Index tripled in three years.

But in this bull market environment, Kowba Group's stock has not risen in recent years, and shareholders have long lost confidence in Kowloon Bus.

Now that Sun Hung Kai has launched an acquisition, the small shareholders have taken over their shares.

By the time the post-production of "Dao Madan" was completed, Lei Juekun had become the second largest shareholder of Kowloon Bus and had lost control of Kowloon Group.

Lei Juekun was discouraged by Kowloon, and in the following years, he gradually sold his Kowloon shares and shifted his business focus to Kowloon Jianye and Princess Jin Cinema.

It is not just Sun Hung Kai’s acquisition of Kowloon Bus, but the business world in Hong Kong has been surging in the past two years.

The Huazi Group of Li Ka-shing, Pao Yu-gang and others has acquired British shares, breaking the situation where British capital has controlled the Hong Kong economy for decades.

Starting from March this year, due to the continued prosperity of Hong Kong's stock market and social economy, prices and wages have risen sharply, but housing prices have risen faster.

The house that Brigitte Lin bought at the end of last year can earn at least 200,000 yuan if he sells it now.

The housing bubble in Hong Kong has taken shape, and the burden on Hong Kong citizens for housing supply has reached 180%, which is equivalent to the average person using nearly twice the amount of money he earns to support the housing.

This year's summer season in Hong Kong is very interesting. On the side of Princess Jin, there are "The Dao Ma Dan" directed by Kang Jianfei, "Mr. Zombie 2" directed by Eric Tsang, "Best Partner" directed by Mai Jia, "Modern Master" filmed by John Wu, and "Modern Master" filmed by John Wu and Feng Bingzhong; on the side of Jiahe Cinema, there are "The Dragon Master" directed by Jackie Chan, "The Criminal Official Hits" directed by Sammo Hung, and "A Can Become a Job" directed by Wu Siyuan; on the side of Shaw Brothers Cinema, there are "The Brave Without Fear" directed by Yuan Heping.

Especially for Princess Jin, four excellent productions are waiting for the filming schedule, and the schedule is terrible.

In the end, "Modern Master" ranked first, "Dao Madan" followed, "Best Partner" followed closely behind for this year's summer season, and "Mr. Zombie 2" ranked last.

The four movies were opened in a slight screening time, but there was some overlap between them before and after, which was a full schedule of Princess Jin Cinemas.

As for the actual screening, we need to look at the performance of the film. If it sells well, it will increase the number of screenings, and if it sells poorly, it will reduce. If it fails, it may also cause the painting to be dropped in advance.

Before the summer season arrived, "Happy Ghost 2" won more than 8.3 million yuan in Hong Kong, although it was pale in comparison to "Happy Ghost 1"'s 13 million yuan.

But a sequel, and it is a new director and a new actor, is already very good to get this box office, not to mention that it was released in the off-season of the movie.

As for "The Wrong Car", which received NT$50 million in Taiwan, although the response was good after it was released in Hong Kong, it only received more than 4 million box office, while Wang Jing's "Thousand Kings Fight Thousand Bas" had a box office of 6 million.

By July, "Modern Master" directed by John Woo has been released. The movie has changed two actors compared to the original time and space. However, due to Chen Rongmei's promotion at all costs and a good period he competed with as a shareholder of Princess Golden Cinema, the box office of this film has been better, with a box office of over 3 million in a week.

Wu Siyuan's "A Can't Be a Job" is not willing to fall behind, and he won more than 2.2 million in the first week.

At this moment, the Hong Kong Banking Association announced the increase of bank savings interest rates. The Hong Kong property bubble was burst, the property prices suddenly fell, and the Hang Seng Index began to fall slightly.

The decline in property prices and the stock market setback continued for a month before stabilizing.

Most Hong Kong people think it's okay, and the stock market is still slowly recovering, but no one can expect that this is just the beginning.

The first stock market crash in Hong Kong in the 1980s is coming soon.
