The entertainment industry in any country in the world is affected by politics, and movies are no exception.

Although Hong Kong is known as a liberal democracy under the colony of the British government, especially freedom of ideology and freedom of speech, in fact, the Hong Kong film industry has always been seriously affected by politics.

Before the Civil War, the Hong Kong government's regulations on film regulation were quite lax. With the seizure of political power by our party on the mainland, relations between China and Hong Kong have gradually become tense.

In 1953, the Hong Kong government ordered the expulsion of more than 20 leftist filmmakers, which led to the enactment of a more stringent censorship ordinance under the leadership of the Director of Information for Government Propaganda and Information Affairs, which became institutionalized.

However, at this time, the electrical inspection work was only carried out under the "administrative order", and there was no formal legal basis. As a result, the Hong Kong government often bans films that may anger our party out of concern for its relationship with the mainland. For example, Tang Shuxuan's 1973 Hong Kong production of "Goodbye China" was banned because of its depiction of intellectual youths fleeing to Hong Kong during a special period, and Bai Jingrui's Taiwanese film "The Land of the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven" was suddenly banned by the Hong Kong government in 1981 after its official release in Hong Kong for a day.

This is also the reason why there has been a lot of uproar about the film classification system before.

However, Qiao Feng never expected that when the film classification system had just been established and implemented, and the electronic inspection scale began to become relaxed again, which would also allow Hong Kong filmmakers to gain more freedom of creative space, Black Sun 731, the first Hong Kong-made restricted film after the establishment of the film classification system, was once again affected by politics.

This...... Qiao Feng didn't know how the Hong Kong government felt, anyway, he felt that the news was going to be exposed in the media for the public to know, and this slap in the face must make the Hong Kong government so happy.

"I arranged for Black Sun 731 to draw it." When Qiao Feng couldn't figure out who made the decision to make this movie, Li Zhi, who was still busy buying houses everywhere in the mainland, calmly explained after receiving Qiao Feng's inquiry call: "The Hong Kong government has received multiple official and unofficial protests from the Hong Kong Governor, and the Hong Kong Governor has put pressure on us through the Film and Television Department and the Electrical Inspection Department. Mr. Shao, Mr. Zou, and Mr. Lei mean that it is best not to have a bad relationship with the Hong Kong Governor, and we have been in theaters for a month, and the attendance rate has dropped a lot, and it is close to the line drawn below.

Well, as the general manager of the theater chain after succeeding Zeng Zhiwei and the full-time assistant of Qiao Feng, who is now almost in name, Li Zhi does have the right to make the decision to draw a movie, even if the movie was personally ordered by Qiao Feng to be released for two months.

No way, who makes it seem to others that Li Zhi means Qiao Feng, besides, Li Zhi is also the general manager, who dares not to listen to her decision.

It's just that Xiao Yueben's special hand is too long.

The mainland is because it is now open and you are in the honeymoon period, so it attaches great importance to your protests, and it is a country that is an official-oriented country, and it is a country that believes that diplomacy is no trivial matter, so under the pressure of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Yindu Agency has to deal with it carefully.

However, is it good to be here in Hong Kong now, I am not a company with a government background like Yindu Organization, and I don't want you to protest against this set of okay.

Lao Tzu's company is not an administrative order that has to be obeyed, and you want to use government coercion to make Lao Tzu's side submit, and you don't take Lao Tzu seriously.

If it involves the mainland's own sensitivity, then that's fine, after all, Hong Kong is backed by the mainland, and the influence of the mainland is very huge beyond everyone's imagination.

Just like Tang Shuxuan's goodbye to China, the film was banned by the British authorities in Hong Kong on the grounds that it "may damage friendly relations with neighboring regions [and] obstruct law and order".

It was only after the 80s that the film finally passed the censorship, of course, it happened to coincide with the controversy caused by the 87 Draft Regulations last year, and the public was extremely sensitive to freedom and restraint.

However, now it is Xiao Yueben protesting, Xiao Yueben is a fart, in terms of the impact of the box office, Xiao Yueben is definitely not a reasonable box office for most Hong Kong films, not even Southeast Asia.

For example, the market over there is definitely not a small film company that can enter casually

Therefore, the impact of this displeasure on Hong Kong films is minimal, and if this dissatisfaction is at the government level, they don't even dare to protest openly.

Because, the facts are the facts, and they themselves know that they will be weak in their hearts when they protest openly, and they will make a big fuss and expose their ugliness in the eyes of people all over the world.

Even if Xiao Yueben protested strongly, Qiao Feng didn't care, let alone the sneaky and sneaky protest through the official diplomatic channels.

Qiao Feng didn't care about Xiao Yueben's protests, and of course he didn't care about the pressure exerted by the British government and the governor of Hong Kong.

You must know that Tang Shuxuan's goodbye China was approved before the grading system came out because the public was extremely sensitive and disgusted with the free restraint, not to mention the Black Sun 731, which is destined to have a greater influence and can sting the hearts of the audience even more.

Although, Black Sun 731 is destined not to be seen by too many people, and many people who have seen it will be very uncomfortable, and even frightened.

The impact of this film is not limited to the film itself, the impact of this film is the impact of the 14-year war of resistance, the death of tens of millions of innocent people, the suffering of 40,000 people, and the huge loss of a huge country.

What this movie presents is not only the inhumane experiment of Unit 731, but also the hatred of the country and the family.

Just like the statement added by director Mou Dunfu at the beginning and end of the film, friendship is friendship, and history is history.

Friendliness can be the main tone of the moment, but history cannot be forgotten because of it.

Qiao Feng didn't care about Xiao Yueben's protest at all, let alone the pressure of the British government in Hong Kong. With the blessing of the historical significance and national hatred carried by this film, and under the circumstance that the public is extremely sensitive to the freedom restraint and the special classification system has been officially adopted and implemented, Xiao Yueben's protest can be regarded as a fart, and the pressure of the Hong Kong government can be ignored, otherwise they are interfering with the law and breaking the law in the knowledge of the law.

If they dare to mess with BB, they will be spit out by the general public in Hong Kong if they are directly exposed.

"Mr. Mou, this is an oversight on my side, because of the protest of Yuben and the pressure of the Hong Kong government, our cinema line was forced to be helpless, so we made the decision to paint.However, don't worry, I will do what I say I promise, Longteng Cinema will screen Black Sun 731 for two months, not a day will be less, this is a Chinese commitment."
