204 [The Wind Rising]

The filming in Macau took only one day and midnight, and the crew of "Dao Ma Dan" completed the filming and returned to Hong Kong.
When Kang Jianfei was busy with post-production, Li Pengfei also took his young talent group to Beijing. They first contacted the Hong Kong and Macau Office of the State Council. When the Hong Kong and Macau Office saw that it was a large petition group of Hong Kong compatriots, 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. Chief No. 1 finally met them in Zhongnanhai.
20 Hong Kong youths were spreading 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 redundant. If the British can manage them well, we Chinese can do it... You can rarely come to the capital, and you can play around, take a look at the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. You can also go to Shenzhen and 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 for 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 went around Beijing, and then followed government personnel to Shenzhen and Shenzhen. 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 the 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. I hope 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 and said, "That young man named Kang Jianfei is very interesting. He still knows what one country, two systems are, 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, Guangdong; born on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar 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 "On the Beach" 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 the Oriental Dream Factory Film Company and paid 500,000 yuan from "Oriental Daily" for the advance payment of 500,000 yuan, 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 gun robbers driving 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. It once again broke the box office of Hong Kong movies...
...
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, both literary and martial. Isn't he who is his teacher?"
"There is only one old man sent to the village, and he is indeed a professor. However, he died shortly after returning to the city, and his children don't know how much he has."
The old man said: "You call comrades from Hong Kong propaganda. Don't be anxious. Imperialism declares war. We will just take action. This war does not have to be head-on. You can be roundabout and indirect. The Hong Kong compatriots explained in the newspaper do not believe it, so they can strengthen the public exchanges. Just like when the diplomatic relations with the United States were established, we organized athletes to play table tennis in Hong Kong. Our writers sent a group to conduct cultural exchanges with Hong Kong writers... I heard that people there like martial arts, so we can let our martial arts team 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: "Old Wu, why did you come from Beijing to Shaolin Temple?"
The person coming was Li Lianjie'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 in person."
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 group to perform in Hong Kong."
Zhang Xinyan looked bad and said, "Are you going to let Li Lianjie go?"
Wu Bing said: "Of course he wants to go. Xiao Li is the best martial arts athlete in the country. I am going to let him lead the team."
Zhang Xinyan shook his head and said, "No, what should I do if he leaves my movie?"
Wu Bing said angrily: "You are so, you've been filming a movie for almost a year and haven't finished it 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 crafting."
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 thoughtfully: "It will take at least one month."
Wu Bing said: "Okay, it's a matter of determination. I'll pick you up in a month, no matter whether you finish the shot or not."

When Zhang Xinyan had a headache, Lei Juekun was also in a state of anxiety.
Just as Lei Juekun was proud and expanded the scale of Princess Jin Cinemas was preparing to show his strength, Sun Hung Kai suddenly took action against Kowloon Bus. After half a month of acquisition, Sun Hung Kai's Feng Jingxi has become Kowloon Bus' second largest shareholder, and has no intention of stopping.
Kowloon Bus is the foundation of Lei Juekun, and he immediately lost his footing.
Since the mainland has carried out reform and opening up, the Hong Kong stock market has broken the situation, and the Hang Seng Index has tripled in three years. However, in this bull market environment, the stock of Kowloon Group has not risen in recent years, and shareholders have long lost confidence in Kowloon Bus.
Now that Sun Hung Kai has started an acquisition, the small shareholders have taken over their shares. By the time the post-production of "Dao Madan" was completed, Lei Juekun has become the second largest shareholder of Kowloon Bus and has lost control of Kowloon Group.
Lei Juekun was disheartened 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-kong and others has acquired British shares, breaking the situation where British capital controls Hong Kong’s 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 Lin Qingxia bought at the end of last year can earn at least 200,000 yuan if she sells it now.
The housing bubble in Hong Kong has taken shape, and the burden on Hong Kong citizens to supply buildings has reached 180%, which is equivalent to the average person using nearly twice the amount of money he earns to support buildings.
This year's summer season in Hong Kong is very interesting. On the Jin Princess Cinema, there are "The Dao Ma Dan" directed by Kang Jianfei, "Mr. Zombie 2" directed by Zeng Zhiwei, "Best Partner" directed by Mecca, "Modern Master" filmed by Wu Yusen and Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong; on the Jiahe Cinema, there are "The Dragon Master" directed by Cheng Long, "The Mission Crazy Official Hits" directed by Hong Jinbao, and "A Can Becomes a Job" directed by Wu Siyuan; on the Shaw Brothers Cinema, there are "The Brave Is Not Fearful" directed by Yuan Heping.
Especially for Princess Jin, four exquisite 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 for this year's summer season, while "Mr. Zombie 2" ranked last. The four movies opened in the screening time, but there were some overlaps before and after, which made the schedule of Princess Jin's theaters full. As for the actual screening, it was necessary to look at the performance of the film. If it sold well, it increased the number of screenings, and if it was not sold well, it reduced. If it failed, it might also happen.
Before the summer season arrived, "Happy Ghost 2" won more than 8.3 million yuan in Hong Kong, which pales in comparison to the 13 million yuan of "Happy Ghost 1". However, a sequel, and a new director and 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 Wu Yusen 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 schedule 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's Job" is not willing to fall behind, and he won more than 2.2 million in the first week of box office.
At this moment, the Hong Kong Banking Association announced an increase in 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 setbacks continued for a month before stabilizing. Most Hong Kong people thought it was okay, and the stock market was still slowly recovering, but no one could have expected that this was just the beginning.
Chapter completed!
