Chapter 34: Lucky or Unfortunate [Subscribe Only!2nd Update]
Hong Kong is the size of a projectile.
In such a small land, it stands to reason that it will never be possible to give birth to such a thriving cultural industry as Hong Kong films.
You must know that the foundation of any industry is people, and this is especially true of the cultural industry. If there is no one to consume, without a huge population to consume, it is simply impossible for "cheap entertainment" such as movies to flourish.
"Cheap" here refers to the fact that the cost is evenly distributed to each consumer. Hong Kong films can't shoot the scenes of American blockbusters, not because Hong Kong filmmakers don't work hard enough. It's that the coverage of Hong Kong films is still too small, and the ceiling of income is clearly shaking, and there is simply not enough budget to produce special effects and scenes similar to American films.
Even if it is forcibly made, the final result is that the bottoms are gone. Speaking of a thousand words, Hong Kong films will not have the possibility of large-cost production and commercial continuation.
Takahashi also does not have the idea of wanting to let Wanhu enter the Hong Kong film circle, let alone revitalize Hong Kong films that have begun to decline.
He just borrowed his strength to squeeze the commercial value of some Hong Kong films for his own use when Hong Kong films still had some influence.
There are very complex reasons why Hong Kong films have been able to rise.
First of all, a large number of people who retreated from the Big 6 settled in Hong Kong, and countless intellectuals devoted themselves to the creation of the cultural field for various reasons.
And those generals who have lost power also carry a lot of money. In addition, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the big 6 was blocked by many capitalist countries, and Hong Kong became a transshipment port again.
Countless goods and themselves are gathered in this small piece of land, and the people in this land, even if they just sign a bill in the office, the money can go into their pockets.
The improvement of economic strength has led to an increase in the spiritual and cultural needs of the people of Hong Kong. Entertainment products are becoming more abundant day by day.
Those movies from old Shanghai are also making more and more movies at the box office.
Theater after theater is open, and theater chain after theater is vying for its sphere of influence.
After the accumulation was completed in Hong Kong, Hong Kong films began to become popular in Chinese areas and East Asia, which have a sense of cultural identity.
Even a country like Yuben, which likes to entertain itself, has a large number of fans of Hong Kong movies.
Even, a series of excellent video games such as "Kung Fu", "Double Dragon", and "Jackie Chan Kicking the Gym" are all based on Hong Kong movies.
And now the most popular arcade game genre in the United States, fighting games, a large number of character settings, and even the original idea, all come from the kung fu movie classification in Hong Kong movies.
Although Takahashi himself is not very interested in Quan Yong, after solving the "misunderstanding", "The Legend of Chivalry" continued to be serialized in Ming Pao.
At the same time, Ma Rong, a famous Hong Kong cartoonist and author of "Chinese Heroes", who has created the highest sales of 200,000 copies per issue, became the comic version of "The Legend of Chivalry".
At the same time, "The Legend of Chivalry" is also used as an escort work for the Hong Kong Goodgame console. Other games, such as Tetris and Tower of Magic, appear as wings.
Taking the opportunity of Ming Pao's serialization of "The Legend of Chivalry", Wanhu attacked the source of modern Chinese entertainment culture in an all-out way, and before the start of its decline cycle, let the entire Chinese region know that there is a video game company called Wanhu that likes to make games that Chinese players like to see.

Wang Jiajun stood on the fluttering bus, pulling the ring in one hand, his body swaying with the bus, and looking down at the newspaper in the other hand.
He watched the job advertisement, and the deep-pocketed recruitment company directly bought a whole page.
Wanhu Entertainment (Hong Kong) Company.
This is the name of the recruiting company.
Unlike many leather bag companies in Hong Kong in this era, they always like to use some "international", "global" and other company names, for fear that they are not tall enough.
The simple words of Wanhu Entertainment seem extremely simple.
Wang Jiajun will not judge a company just because of its name. The reason why he just graduated from college and the first place to find a job was Wanhu Entertainment, because he had played Wanhu's "Tetris" handheld, and recently he was deeply addicted to the trading card game "Destiny Game".
As a loyal player of Wanhu, he wants to come to Wanhu to work, and he feels that it should be the place where his ideals and ambitions can be realized.
He didn't want to be like most of his classmates and work as a clerk in a trade and forwarding company, and his daily routine was to deal with games.
He wants to work in 10,000 households, and he longs to one day be able to create an interesting new world for himself.
Wanhu Entertainment (Hong Kong) Company is not located in the most prosperous area of Hong Kong, but it is not located in the suburbs either. didn't want to let the world know that he had strength, but was very low-key and introverted, and only hung a small plaque, which said a small number of entertainment (Hong Kong) companies.
Wang Jiajun carried his resume, and pushed open the door with some trepidation, and there was an old man wearing suspenders sitting at the door. Wang Jiajun asked cautiously, "Do you know where to apply?"
The old man copied his eyes, put them on the bridge of his nose, glanced at Wang Jiajun with his nostrils and said, "Interview here." β
"When will the interviewer come?" asked Wang Jiajun again.
"I'm the interviewer. The old man said a little impatiently, as if he felt that the young man in front of him was too young and naΓ―ve.
Wang Jiajun even felt that he had been tricked, and even had the idea of turning around and leaving. How can there be a formal company that will let an elderly person interview, and the interview place is still at the main entrance.
It's just that when his anger was about to reach its peak, he suddenly thought, "Is this a test for yourself?" Maybe the elder in front of him is a sweeping monk-like figure?"
Wang Jiajun thought like this, handed over the establishment to the elder, and began to introduce himself, the elder did not open his eyes, but sometimes raised his nostrils, as if this was to express that he had heard.
Wang Jiajun had been talking for almost half an hour, and he suddenly saw a person who came down from the upper floor and looked very similar to the person in front of him.
"Are you here to apply?" asked the man who came down.
"Yes. β
"Come with me upstairs for an interview. The man who came down said.
Wang Jiajun looked at the elder who was listening with his eyes closed.
The elder who got down from the elevator said, "Don't think he's a sweeper, he's a madman, he's run out several times, you don't have to be afraid, he's not aggressive, the hospital will take him away in a while." β
Is that so......
Wang Jiajun, who was confused, followed the elder who came down from downstairs and went upstairs.
He didn't expect Wanhu Entertainment to be such a strange company, and he really didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky to interview such a company in his first interview.
