Chapter 591 Hong Kong Movies

Nowadays, there are many people who want to cling to each other when they have money. Moreover, Yang Xing can achieve success in making money and there are endless people who want to visit. However, Yang Xing enjoys a house with his wife and children, and does not like to disturb others. His Star Chasing Garden is the largest manor on Taiping Mountain. There are star shields and dark star personnel outside to check it out. This is not his initiative to invite others, and others cannot even get close to the door. So now if you can get his invitation to the Star Chasing Garden, it has become a symbol of identity in the upper class of Hong Kong.

But what surprised everyone who was looking forward to his invitation was that before the China Star World Conference was held, the brothers of the Centen brothers of Hong Kong's underworld Xingheshe frequently appeared in the Star Chasing Garden. The two of them were busy going north to the mainland and exploring the mainland film market. With their connections in the Hong Kong film industry, many well-known Hong Kong artists and directors were invited to participate in the mainland joint venture filming. Now they have followed him to the Star Chasing Garden, which has made the outside world randomly speculate. Could it be that Yang Xing was happy to have a noble son and wanted to invite artists to celebrate the full moon like the landlord Laocai in the past?

The truth is of course not that simple. In fact, since Yang Xing chose "The Matrix" and "Hero" for Zhou Yanhong, and found "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" for Ouyang Qian to successfully transform into a movie star. When he was having sex with Ouyang Ting and others that day, he accidentally talked about "Infernal Affairs" that will definitely become a big hit, so he left a deep impression on Yang Xing's women, that is, as long as the script recommended by Yang Xing will definitely become a big hit!

At least half of the women around Yang Xing are celebrities in the entertainment industry, and the Asian entertainment industry is full of many celebrities. Singers become popular and filming TV, and models are commonplace to become famous as actors. Seeing Yang Xing's famous "The Age of Girls" and Zhou Yanhong and others in Asia and the international community, it is impossible to say that other women are not jealous and have no ideas. This time, Yang Xing happened to be at home with his wife and children, and Hong Kong is known as the Oriental Hollywood, and the film and television production industry is very developed, so he took turns to work hard and begged Yang Xing not to be biased, and at least he should help them find suitable scripts and taste the taste of being a big star.

Yang Xing was so obsessed by them that he was a little bored at home. He had the idea of ​​combining the director of the Hong Kong film industry to explore the domestic film market. He felt that he had the funds and technology now, and could also promote Chinese films to the world according to his own ideas. So he made an appointment with the brothers Cen, the owner of China Star Film Company, who was responsible for filming, and found many well-known Hong Kong directors and actors in Yang Xing's memory to give advice on this.

The Hong Kong film industry once had very glorious years. In its most popular era, its film influence was the best in Asia. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a large number of filmmakers came to Hong Kong as a film elite of the Republic of China, which led to the popularity of Cantonese films and martial arts films in Hong Kong for 50 or 60 years. Since the 1970s and 1980s, the Hong Kong film industry has ushered in a large number of new-style directors studying film production overseas, and began to give birth to the "New Wave" movies with both the art and box office harvest in Hong Kong. Not only did they sell well in box office in Asia, but their best players also often won awards at foreign film festivals and have a large number of Hong Kong film fans in Southeast Asia.

In the 1990s, it became the golden age of Hong Kong Film. A large number of international superstars and directors who were famous overseas emerged, and the production of films exceeded 1,000. Whether in the quality or quantity of film production, they had the strength to compete with American Hollywood blockbusters. At that time, male stars such as Chow Yun-fat, Jackie Chan and the Four Heavenly Kings, actresses such as Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung, and Cherie Chung were all star-studded and shining in Asia. Directors such as John Woo and Tang Ji-ri also successfully entered Hollywood and took charge of Hollywood blockbusters.

Unfortunately, with the proliferation of vcd and DVDs, the problem of pirated films seriously hurt the box office of Hong Kong movies. In severe cases, the streets of Hong Kong and the Mainland were full of hawkers selling pirated CDs for a few dollars, making it impossible to even recover the cost of investing in making a movie. The production of Hong Kong movies has dropped sharply to 100, and the film level has also been greatly reduced. Most of them are nonsensical shoddy works, which are even more difficult to attract audiences, forming a vicious cycle. Even Hong Kong actors have shown a trend of being incompetent, with several old faces always taking on big productions, making it difficult for newcomers to take over the class of seniors, and as the backbone of directors, the team of directors has also left the mainland and abroad, causing Hong Kong movies to gradually sink.

In recent years, with the return of young directors studying abroad in South Korea, Thailand and other countries, a large number of well-produced films have been emerging. The fifth and sixth generation directors in China have also gained a lot at international film festivals. New Asian films are in full swing, but Hong Kong films are getting worse and worse, and knowledgeable people in the industry are worried.

Yang Xing had the most temporary cooperation with the Cen brothers, the eldest brothers of Xinghehe Society, and did not consider long-term cooperation. However, things were awkward. Later, Yang Xing won the trust of Robertson of Tiger Fund. The Cen brothers made great efforts and had unique eyes. They were optimistic about Yang Xing's future development. With their gangster bosses, they would actually defect to Yang Xing, who was much younger than them. Yang Xing also felt that developing in Hong Kong would not only have the support of the Hong Kong government, but also the support of the Cen brothers, such as the Cen brothers, and many troubles would be easily resolved, so he agreed to accept the Cen brothers and let them take charge of the film production under Starlight Entertainment alone.

The Cen brothers are keen on making movies, and Hong Kong people know that they have also personally played roles in movies and have a close relationship with many heavyweight movie stars in the Hong Kong film industry. The predecessor of Starlight Entertainment Group was a record company they originally started. With their connections and Yang Xing's strong financial support, the China Star Film Company founded by the two brothers quickly became the vanguard of the Hong Kong film industry.

Moreover, they followed Yang Xing's advice and believed that the future of Hong Kong films has excellent directors and actors in the mainland, but lacked Hong Kong's rich experience in film production and promotion. Combining the strengths of the two, they actively promoted the joint film production of the two places and established a mainland cinema system to open up the vast film and television market in the mainland. This is the direction that the Cen brothers have been working hard for over the years.

Facts have proved that the Cen brothers can sit at the leading position of the Hong Kong underworld, and they still have two tricks under their hands. With Yang Xing's previous life experience and sufficient funds, they turned their eyes out of the incense and turned to the mainland, and they felt that the sky was so high that birds could fly, and the sea was so wide that the fish jumped. Yang Xing also said some good things to them in the central government, which dispelled their fear that the National Security Bureau had been approached by the National Security Bureau before Hong Kong's return. So they let go and quickly opened up the situation in the mainland film and television market.

In addition, Yang Xing promoted the strengthening of the combination of his film companies and the mainland at this time, and there were political considerations. After Hong Kong's return in 1997, it was encountering an Asian financial crisis that happened once in a century. Even with Yang Xing's advance warning and active mediation, the Hong Kong government and the central government worked together to finally ensure that Hong Kong's economy was the only one-straight forward and not swallowed up by the storm, but Hong Kong's economy was hit hard, and it is true that it needs to get rid of the shadow of recession immediately.

The central government does not want the Oriental Pearl that has just returned is covered with dust. Driven by Yang Xing and other interested people, Cheng Canghai visited Hong Kong in person and launched the "Economic Arrangement Closer with Hong Kong" (CEPA) plan several years in advance to boost Hong Kong's confidence and support Hong Kong's economy. One of the cepa plans is that in order to support the Hong Kong economy, the mainland agreed to regard the film and television series co-produced by Hong Kong and the mainland as mainland film and television, and is not subject to the restrictions on the import quota of movies. The issue of Hong Kong filmmakers in co-produced films in the mainland is also convenient for document management and work visas. It also proposed to allow Hong Kong funds to invest in the mainland film and television industry and theater chains. This is equivalent to opening the door to Hong Kong films and giving a shot in the sluggish Hong Kong film and television industry.

The Cen brothers followed Yang Xing's instructions and seized this opportunity. Not only did they sign contracts with many Hong Kong movie stars to participate in the filming of blockbusters by mainland film and television companies, they also actively launched China Star Cinema Cinema in various places based on the entertainment facilities built by China Star International in major large and medium-sized cities in China. Now they have the theater theater with the largest number of high-end movies in China. Although the income and expenditure cannot be offset by the screening of movies alone, if Yang Xing predicts that domestic blockbusters represented by "Heroes" are emerging, they are confident that in addition to film screenings, relying on the related industries accompanied by movies, as long as domestic blockbusters form a scale, it will not be a problem to make money.

So although Zhongxing Group's career is gradually on the right track, Yang Xing wants Welch to take over his work and try not to interfere in the company's specific affairs as much as possible. This time it is related to the beauties around him who are struggling with each other. He also wants to promote domestic blockbusters, so that Hollywood blockbusters will not be in a passive state of being beaten in the future. So he asked the Cen brothers to invite celebrities in the Hong Kong film and television industry to gather in the Star Chasing Garden and use their memories of their past lives to help pick movies that will become popular in the future.

Using his ability to "predict the future", he did choose a number of scripts that are very promising and famous, such as Jackie Chan's "Mythology", Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu", Chen Desen's "October Siege" and other scripts, all of which were attracted by his "sighted eyes". Yang Xing also talked about his lack of special stunt technology in Hong Kong movies, and was preparing to spend a lot of money to form a special stunt company that specializes in using computers, fireworks, and makeup. He also pretended to unintentionally propose to use today's most advanced 3D animation technology to create a domestic animated blockbuster. He thought of the name, and it was called "Kung Fu Panda", so that domestic filmmakers would not lament that we could not shoot pandas shot by foreigners in the future!

With the Cen brothers' extensive connections, and Yang Xing suggested adopting a model of "Infernal Affairs" with several kings and queens in the film, Yang Xing was very confident in launching a blockbuster of his own company. Of course, another reason why he couldn't say it was that he could finally find something for the women who were entangled around him all day long, so that they would not pull themselves to every night, and the iron rod would be ground into a needle!
