In the blink of an eye, midsummer has passed and turned into early autumn.
The popularity of "Zhu Xian" continues to rise. The improved version of the plot has been well received. The number of people online at the same time has reached 300,000, and it has entered the top 15 in market share.
The TV series is also being prepared in an orderly manner.
After two operations of "Wulin Gaiden" and "Zhu Xian", peers have clearly seen 99 Company's gameplay. They first anchor a popular work and then develop other products around this work.
It’s not surprising to say that Hollywood has long been tired of it, but there are few successful ones in China. In the past, making movies was just movies, and making TV series was just TV series. Who would think of combining them? Not to mention that there are other tracks such as games, animations, and novels.
99 happened to be completed, and I even still have "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" in my hand.
Fortunately, Yao Yuan does not plan to develop "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" for the time being. The drama cannot be broadcast on TV stations, but can only be broadcast online. Now online dramas are not popular. Special effects for movies are expensive, the market size is small, and the price/performance ratio is not high.
Keep it first.
In addition to pioneering progress in the gaming field, e-commerce is also experiencing steady growth.
Liu Qiangdong is becoming more and more skillful and commanding, leading Maiwo Mall to make great strides. Sun Juan is also becoming more and more proficient in making Maiker Eslite. The white shoes have become a hot item this year and sales have doubled.
But they dare not slack off at all. The 7 billion task of the gambling agreement hangs like a sharp sword above their heads. They have confidence, and the pressure is indeed high.
While everyone was busy, Yao Yuan took a break and took Yinyin to Hong Kong.
…
Afternoon.
Hong Kong people in this era did not hate the mainland as much as later generations. They maintained their last sense of superiority until the mainland took off after 2008.
People always say that Hong Kong is in decline and Hong Kong cinema is in decline. In fact, it has just returned to where it should be.
Just like the British in later generations.
Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the most prosperous areas in Hong Kong. There are two large shopping malls here - Harbor City and China Hong Kong City, both of which are relatively old.
"What the hell, the clothes look like a human being, who would have thought he was a fake foreign devil!"
Yinyin strode out of the shopping mall, with a bit of anger on her usually good-tempered face. She wanted to buy a watch, but failed to buy it. She yelled: "You are superior to others when you speak English? I won't say that, just say
What happened to Mandarin? Did you wrong them by speaking Mandarin?"
"People here are divided into three classes: those who speak English, those who speak Cantonese, and those who speak Mandarin. Speaking Mandarin really offends them."
"It's all legacy. The way we took it back was too peaceful, and there was too much legacy!"
Yinyin didn't know what Hong Kong would be like in the future, but she hit the nail on the head.
"Okay, okay, there's no need to buy it in Hong Kong, it's the same thing if you go back..."
Yao Yuan coaxed her, held her hand and walked around casually. Around three o'clock, he came to the middle of two shopping malls. There was a street in the middle. Hidden on the street was Jiahe's theater that had been in business for 13 years.
, called the Gateway Cinema.
Golden Harvest has five theaters in Hong Kong, and this is one of them. It is quite famous. Films such as "Erotic Couple", "Weekend Fever" and "The Wanderer" have all been filmed here.
"Infernal Affairs" was also filmed. It was here when Eric Tsang and Andy Lau met. At that time, the 1995 movie "The Black Horse" directed by Xie Fei and starring Tengger (yes, that Tengger) was shown on the screen.
The Gateway Cinema has a small front door, and there is a poster of a new movie posted outside. It shows a slim and charming woman in a cheongsam with attractive red lips.
Her name is Tang Wei.
"Here, here, here!"
Yu Jiajia waved at the door, and there were a few people standing next to her, including Ning Hao, Liang Jiahui and a man wearing black-rimmed glasses. This man's name is Liu Weiqiang, no introduction is needed.
The script of "Wushuang" has been finalized and has entered the preparatory period. The original director was Zhuang Wenqiang, who had filmed the "Eavesdropping" series. But Zhuang Wenqiang is too young now and has little directing experience, so he was replaced by Liu Weiqiang.
Liu Weiqiang has a strong ability to adapt to commercial film genres, and his camera quality is first-rate, but the main theme of the film he shot in mainland China later was nondescript.
Now that "Manslaughter" has been filmed, Ning Hao will do part of the post-production in Hong Kong and then return to the mainland to do part of it, so he appears here.
As for Yao Yuan, he just brought Yinyin here to watch "Lust, Caution". Well, it was very simple.
"Mr. Yao!"
Liu Weiqiang met him for the first time and greeted him very politely.
The acquisition of Golden Harvest has a greater impact on the Hong Kong film industry. A group of people are clamoring that Hong Kong film is dead, but this does not prevent them from continuing to go north to make money.
He knows the opponent's strength.
"Director Liu!"
Yao Yuan shook hands with him, and without saying much, they entered the theater.
The largest hall was actually 90% full.
Pornography is indeed the primary productive force. "Lust, Caution" was rated as a Category III film in Hong Kong. With the poor situation of the Hong Kong film market, it was able to earn more than 40 million at the box office, which is a miracle.
Except for Yao Yuan, everyone was very curious about it. It was very popular. It also featured great directors Ang Lee and Tony Leung, and it had passionate sex scenes. People were ready to seduce it.
Not long after we sat down, the movie started.
Ang Lee's excellent control ability made this literary film not boring. At first, everyone was still watching the plot, but when Tony Leung threw Tang Wei on the bed, then tore her cheongsam, and the overlord forced his bow...
The whole audience went "OH~"
Yu Jiajia was in high spirits, while Yinyin covered her face, not expecting it to be so exciting.
It turned out that this was an appetizer, and the passionate scene later became even hotter. The two began to perform paper clips naked...
"With such a large scale, no wonder it is classified as a Category III film!"
"Who is this actress? It's so exciting!"
"Wow, are you serious?"
"Show your hair!"
The audience was exclaiming, and the exclaims were mixed with excitement. They didn't know Tang Wei, but they were still fascinated by the original youthful body with unshaved armpits.
What's more, there aren't many opportunities to see Tony Leung show his butt.
Among these people were Hong Kong audiences and people from mainland China who made a special trip to watch "Lust, Caution".
There are three large-scale scenes in it, each one more intense than the last. Yinyin's face turned red as she watched it. It would be fine if it was just her and Yao Yuan, but the key is that there are others!
"Can this kind of movie be released in mainland China?"
"The mainland must be an abridged version."
"I'm not talking about deletion, I'm talking about the theme of a patriotic young man falling in love with a traitor and helping him escape... I feel like it doesn't work."
Yinyin expressed doubts, but her intuition was still very accurate.
"Lust, Caution" was urgently stopped after it was released in the mainland and was suddenly withdrawn.
The other is that only Tang Wei was banned, while Tony Leung and Ang Lee were fine.
Fortunately, Tang Wei was protected by a big boss and had an awesome team. He turned an actress who had never filmed anything into an international star. She was one of the "Four Dans with Ice-Baked Rice Balls" and became a top-notch star inexplicably.
.
Of course, South Korea is developing very well now. The movie "Determination to Break Up" swept all the awards in the Korean film industry.
