The Hong Kong Trade Development Council released a research report titled "Cultural Industry in Hong Kong" to evaluate the contribution of cultural and creative industries to Hong Kong's economy.
The report pointed out: [As of March 2002, Hong Kong's cultural industry employed more than 200,000 people, accounting for 8% of Hong Kong's employed population; the total export value of the cultural industry in 2001 reached 95 billion Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 95% of Hong Kong's total service exports.
%; in the same year, the output value of the cultural industry was HK$160 billion, accounting for approximately 10.5% of the total local output value of Xiangjiang. Compared with the British cultural industry, which accounted for 4.5%, Xiangjiang has become a culturally strong area.
The cultural industry is not only a manifestation of its own high value, but also drives Hong Kong's tourism, retail and other fields. It has an impact on the entire Hong Kong economy, no less than trade and finance, and has become one of the three pillars of Hong Kong's economy.
】
As soon as the report was reprinted by the media, the citizens of Xiangjiang felt a sense of honor and immediately thought of the media group, a giant "cultural technology group".
Sure enough, the media group subsequently released its semi-annual financial report, stating that in the first half of 2002, the media group's turnover reached 23 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its net profit exceeded 6 billion Hong Kong dollars. It will stably exceed 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in profits within the year.
For a time, the media group's stock bucked the market trend and rose.
"The media group is really powerful! The game industry made a profit of HK$850 million in the first half of the year. Isn't it necessary to obtain a net profit of more than HK$1.7 billion for the whole year? Are there so many people playing games in Hong Kong?"
"What do you know! Xiangjiang's game industry is the world's dominant player, and game software exports account for an absolute share. Let me tell you, there is a "Lineage" in South Korea, which is a very powerful online game. It makes money all year round.
The media group's online games include "Legend of Miracle", "Miracle MU", and "Ragnarok". In the first half of the year, two casual online games, "MapleStory" and "Bubble Hall" were released.
Online games such as "Audition" and "Martin Racing" will be released in half a year. The ninth city produces it and it must be a high-quality product. It is not an unearned reputation. To put it bluntly, every online game may earn tens of millions of dollars a year.
billion Hong Kong dollars. What’s more, there are also revenues from other PC games and console games.”
"I met someone knowledgeable. Are you a game fan?"
"nonsense!"
People are talking a lot. Media groups from the game industry, entertainment industry, to the Internet and media industry have made great efforts to usher in a year of huge growth.
"The U.S. box office of "Kung Fu Panda" is 200 million U.S. dollars, Hong Kong is 45 million Hong Kong dollars, and the mainland has also reached 80 million RMB... I heard that DreamWorks invested and participated in the production of this animated film. I'm afraid it will have to make a profit.
Let’s get $100 million!”
"$100 million is no problem, and the media group is best at developing peripheral products. The revenue this movie brings to the media group is far more than $100 million. How much did "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" earn back then, "Kung Fu Panda" can earn
More than double, because the copyright still belongs to DreamWorks."
"Oh my God, Mr. Lin Zuhui really knows how to invest. No wonder he bought a yacht worth 2 billion Hong Kong dollars without blinking an eye."
"Why are you blinking? He is the world's richest man, with a net worth of more than 500 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is the combined wealth of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong."
"No way, it's the total number of the top ten richest people? That's not all the money in Hong Kong made by him!"
"Other people are making money from abroad. How can Hong Kong support so much wealth?"
"Yes, Lin Zuhui is a world businessman, and of course he makes money in the world."
With the development of the cultural industry, Hong Kong's economy will usher in a positive growth of more than 3%, and is expected to reach the US$210 billion mark next year. However, there is still one difficulty - SaS will affect Hong Kong's economy, so this goal
It may be achieved in 2004.
Of course, the Hong Kong stock market opened a few days ago and started to rise from 12,500 points.
...
Lin Zuhui took Li Jiaxin and his two sons to the Panda House in Ocean Park.
There were so many people here, and there was a large Kung Fu Panda shape erected at the door, which was very eye-catching and attracted people to take pictures with their cameras.
The two pandas in Ocean Park, An An and Jia Jia, were gifted in 1999. They have always been the favorites of Xiangjiang citizens, and the lives of these two pandas are very good.
Lin Zuhui knew that some pandas in Xiangjiang only lived 35 years, which is equivalent to 105 years of human life. It can be seen that Xiangjiang is still taking good care of them.
"Baba, look at Kung Fu Panda!" He and Li Jiaxin's youngest son said excitedly, pointing to the Kung Fu Panda shape.
Lin Zuhui smiled and nodded, feeling somewhat in his heart that while the cultural industry brought him high profits, it also brought him honor and pride.
This investment in "Kung Fu Panda" not only made a lot of money, but also gained honors, which is very worthwhile.
"Lin Sheng, you have really brought glory to Hong Kong people. Kung Fu Panda has become a Hong Kong thing!" A tourist recognized Lin Zuhui and said happily.
"It's all thanks to my colleagues. Besides, pandas belong to us in China!" Lin Zuhui said modestly.
At this time, many people saw Lin Zuhui, but they didn't come up to do anything. They just looked at Lin Zuhui and Li Jiaxin curiously.
As for his and Li Jiaxin's two sons, Lin Zuhui specifically asked them to wear baseball caps, and the bodyguards would also pay attention to the possibility of being secretly photographed.
Of course, this is just a normal precaution, and there is nothing to worry about even if you are photographed.
Spending some time alone with my two sons is a rare interaction throughout the year, which increases the bond between father and son.
At present, there is no situation in the Lin family where "the father is unkind and the son is unfilial".
While playing, Lin Zuhui also observed Ocean Park. He could see Xiangjiang's "comic characters" everywhere here, such as Pikachu, Conan, Luffy and other dolls.
This is the area surrounding the comic industry in Hong Kong, which has driven the development of the entire tourism industry. The current operating situation of Ocean Park is pretty good, and should be much better than in the previous life. This has the decisive influence of the cultural industry. You must know that in the previous life in 2003,
Xiangjiang Ocean Park was already in decline. Finally, Sheng Shiwen (the father of Lan Kwai Fong) became the chairman of Ocean Park, and then the business started to improve.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I don’t know how big the impact of Ocean Park will be after SAS in this life. Unknowingly, Lin Zuhui always likes to consider the public affairs of Hong Kong, although he
He declined all public offices, but he was always concerned about the future of Hong Kong.
Therefore, next year he may still push Sheng Shiwen to serve as the chairman of Ocean Park to boost the tourism industry of Xiangjiang Ocean Park.
The animation industry in Xiangjiang is very developed and has also generated a lot of peripheral benefits. There are several animation experience exhibition halls in Xiangjiang invested by Wanhui Comics, including the Pikachu Hall, the Conan Hall, etc.
.......
ATV Center, variety show video building.
Fans and reporters gathered on both sides of the "Celebrity Road to Work".
Two nanny cars stopped and a group of young girls stepped out. Fans immediately went crazy.
"Girls' Generation"
"Eternal Girlhood"
"geegeegeegeebabybabybaby"
"Girls' Generation, five consecutive championships, come on!"
For a time, the atmosphere of the scene reached its peak.
It turns out that since their debut last year, Girls' Generation has become a popular Hong Kong group and has won many honors and achievements.
But, that’s not a big deal. Girls’ Generation released a mini-album in July this year. With the title song “GEE”, it was out of control. It has achieved the good result of “four consecutive championships” in Hong Kong, and it is bound to be the next one.
There will be more champions.
Currently, there are two music and singing programs in Hong Kong, ATV's "Music" and Wireless's "Golden Songs" (revised version), so as long as you win the championship of one of the programs every week, you will add "one consecutive championship"; if you win the championship in one week
If there are two, then add 'two consecutive championships'.
It seems that Girls' Generation's current "four consecutive championships" are easy, but it is actually very difficult:
First of all, in the first few weeks of playing songs, I may have lost to the previous group, because the "sound source" sales accounted for a large proportion of this rating;
Secondly, during the period of winning the championship, it is also possible for someone behind to break out and snatch the championship midway.
In short, Hong Kong music has become the dominant force in Asia, and the competition among major groups has become fierce and fierce.
Even YG Entertainment no longer ‘dominates HK-POP’, but is facing challenges from other entertainment companies in Hong Kong. Of course, the current status of YG Entertainment is much higher than that of SM Entertainment in Korea before 2010.
Nine young girls, only 16 to 18 years old, dressed in fashionable and youthful Hong Kong fashion clothes, came to the fans.
The captain shouted: "One, two, three"
The nine people shouted the slogan in unison: "This is Girls' Generation now, it will be Girls' Generation in the future, and it will always be Girls' Generation."
The fans immediately went crazy. Of course, there is no problem with security here, and there are almost no illegitimate meals for fans.
That night, Girls' Generation came to perform in person, and the audience's emotions were so high that some even went crazy.
Sometimes, even if you don't come to play songs, you may still win the championship. Of course, if the group is in Hong Kong, they will definitely come to play songs, because this way they will gain more fans.
You know, "Music Bank" will be rebroadcast by local stations in mainland China and Taiwan. The copyright is sold, so its influence is very huge.
"geegeegeegeebabybabybaby"
With the catchy girl love-style lyrics sung (Cantonese, the Hong Kong stream is mainly Cantonese, and albums will also be released in Mandarin, Japanese, etc.), coupled with the 'crab dance' of nine girls, it instantly captured the hearts of men, women and children.
.
That night, Girls' Generation won another champion, becoming the "five consecutive champions" and challenging the record of "six consecutive champions".
........
Next to the TV.
After watching Girls' Generation's performance, Lin Zuhui had a smile on his face and slowly felt a sense of accomplishment.
But it was different in the eyes of the nine people in the family, and everyone started discussing it.
"We are also nine. Could it be that Ah Hui formed this combination based on our prototype?" Guan Jiahui said proudly.
"Hey, that seems to be the case! So why bother? Let the nine of us form a 'Girls' Generation' and leave it to Brother Hui!" Li Jiaxin said with an expression that said, "I can do it too."
Lin Zuhui was speechless. These women!
"First of all, I have never interfered with YG Entertainment. Apart from determining the singing and dancing style at the beginning and absorbing excellent foreign experience, I have not been to the YG building for several years."
"Secondly, although the nine of you are much prettier than them, the group you formed cannot be called Girls' Generation, it can only be called Young Women's Generation."
"Finally, it's impossible for me to mess with the stars of the media group, and I won't mess with the stars of Hong Kong anymore. I've already got a big head."
This is just great!
Everyone had a lively discussion.
"What? If you are prettier than them, why are you marrying us as young women?"
"That is, don't they often shout slogans: 'It's Girls' Generation now, it will be Girls' Generation in the future, it will always be Girls' Generation.' Why, they will always be Girls' Generation!"
"That's right! Even though I'm also a fan of Girls' Generation, I'm a little jealous!"
"So, since our men like Girls' Generation, why don't we also team up and practice "GEE"!"
Good guy, these women are obsessed too.
.......
Unlike the booming cultural industry in Xiangjiang, the cultural industry in Bangzi Country is in big trouble.
First, H-POP is accused of imitating HK-POP, and the overall quality is far inferior to HK-POP, so it can only operate in Bangzi’s domestic market, while HK-POP has occupied the overseas market; at the same time, even Bangzi’s domestic market has a large number of
HK-POP fans, because in the mid-1990s, HK-POP occupied a large market in South Korea. At that time, South Korea was busy banning American and Japanese culture, but it chose to include Hong Kong entertainment culture. This is South Korea
Something the government didn't think of.
Secondly, Korean dramas have also been caught in plagiarism, either by purchasing the copyright for adaptation or directly purchasing the copyright for broadcasting. Korean dramas are always exported to Hong Kong, the Mainland, and overseas with a mediocre response, while Hong Kong dramas are always very popular in Korea. Over time,
The major TV stations will always buy more Hong Kong dramas.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Third, the rise of Hong Kong variety shows in Hong Kong has once again brought Hong Kong’s influence in Asia to a new level, while South Korea has not yet had Korean variety shows.
Fourth, South Korea's game industry is also developing very poorly. This is not to say that the overall quality of the Korean game industry is not good, but that the Hong Kong game industry is too domineering, dominating the markets in the Mainland, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, as well as in Japan, Europe and the United States.
Very influential. (PS, classics are not just about art and technology, but also creativity. When the creativity is preempted by others, the people behind may not necessarily achieve good results even if they come up with games of the same quality)
In short, Xiangjiang's cultural industry has taken the lead, seizing the Asian market, and even has a large share in Europe and the United States. This has made South Korea's cultural export extremely difficult.
Take the gaming field as an example, Xiangjiang ranks first in Asia, Japan ranks second, and South Korea only ranks third.
At the same time, because South Korea always 'copies' Xiangjiang's culture, its reputation in Asia is getting worse and worse, and it often gets into lawsuits and accusations from the media. Even local netizens in South Korea often complain online, feeling
Very embarrassing.
Competition in the cultural industry is about whose work is better and who can conquer the audience.
Obviously, Xiangjiang has done better!
However, there is also something that Xiangjiang does not do as well as South Korea, that is, the government does not provide enough support and help in the cultural industry.
It can be said that if it were not for the existence of the BUG Lin Zuhui, even if Hong Kong opened port flow a few years earlier, it might not be able to compete with South Korea.
And when a large number of works emerge in Xiangjiang, there is no need to consider losing to Koreans in the future, after all, the templates are already out.
