"Xiao Jing, it's not enough for us to convince "Haibian King" to be screened in two lines, why do we have to pull up "Family Carnival"? Isn't that a blocker for ourselves? On the way back, Lin Jianguo was driving the car, turning his head and saying the questions in his head.

As early as after the meeting was completed, Xu Jing not only found Zou Wenhuai by himself, but also asked Lin Jianguo and Xinbao's Chen Meiqi to discuss the double-line joint screening of "Family Carnival". However, Lin Jianguo never understood too much what Xu Jing was doing this.

""Family Carnival" was filmed by Huang Baiming for the Golden Harvest subsidiary with Princess Jin behind his back, and pulling it on the joint screening is just pouring some oil on the division of Xinyi City." Xu Jing explained.

"But wouldn't that have a big impact on our films?" After all, Lin Jianguo is accustomed to thinking about problems from a business perspective, and the first thing that comes to mind is the impact on the box office of "King Haibian".

"Now that the movie has been classified, "Family Carnival" is a typical family fun New Year film, which has no conflict with our film, and its impact is very limited." Xu Jing said: "Moreover, if you can make Princess Jin make a fuss, it doesn't matter if you lose some box office." ”

In the original time and space, the new art city is in the eight... disintegrated at the end of the ninth year, among which the Chinese New Year film "Family Carnival" made Princess Jin very angry, and it can be said that "Family Carnival" is a film that reflects the white-hot internal contradictions in Xinyi City. Xu Jing naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to toss Princess Jin in vain.

"Okay, huh." Lin Jianguo naturally didn't think that a film could have much impact on Xinyicheng, and after thinking about it, he just thought that Xu Jing was dissatisfied with Princess Jin and wanted to disgust the other party. Then he changed the topic and said, "By the way, what happened to Qingqing yesterday?" ”

"She... It's nothing. Xu Jing opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

"Uncle, stop ahead." After a while, Xu Jing said again.

"What's wrong?" Lin Jianguo said curiously.

"It's okay, uncle, I'll get out of the car and walk for a while, you can go back first." Xu Jingdao.

Speaking of Lin Qingqing, Xu Jing couldn't help but feel irritable again, not only because she didn't see herself as non-existent, but also because of a kind of doubt about herself.

The original time and space lacked the conditions to communicate with people due to congenital causes, and this time and space were no longer like this, I thought that I could have normal family, friendship, and love like ordinary people, but I didn't want to even my sister to drift away from him, which made Xu Jing wonder about everything in front of him, could it be that what he had was just as fragile as the Water Moon Mirror Flower or the Beach Castle?

After getting out of the car, Xu Jing walked aimlessly along the road. Suddenly, the eyes were dark, and unconsciously walked into a shadow, looking up, it was full of dense small attics, surrounded by people, people came and went, like ants shuttling in the ant nest, it was the Kowloon Walled City that had been hurriedly entered once yesterday.

The name Kowloon Walled City, which may be relatively unfamiliar to mainlanders, is famous abroad, and hundreds of years of wind and frost have made it a legendary existence in various cultural carriers.

For example, the hometown of Kagura, the heroine of Nichiben's "Gintama", was created based on the Kowloon Walled City, and in the words of Kagura's father, the owner of Hoshikai, he described "the damp streets, which are our dwellings, and the devil's caves where people who can only live in the shadows gather." In the eyes of outsiders, it is a stinky gutter, and it is indeed the most comfortable place for rats. This is the true portrayal of the Kowloon Walled City.

For foreigners, it is full of oriental mysteries, with a distinctly dystopian overtone, and most importantly, everything that happens here is real.

Authenticity always gives infinite inspiration to culture, and because of this, there are countless cultural carriers based on the Kowloon Walled City, in addition to "Gintama", many of which are well-known works, such as "Ghost in the Shell" and "Blade Runner". Games "Resident Evil 6", "Call of Duty 7", "Bloody Scoundrel" and many more.

In addition, there is no shortage of it in Xiangjiang movies, the most famous are Cheng Long's "Serious Crime Team" and Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu" in the pigpen walled city.

The Kowloon Walled City in reality also has a very special historical origin. After the Y War, Xiangjiang was ceded, but the administrative jurisdiction of the Kowloon Walled City in Xiangjiang still belonged to the Qing Dynasty, which was an enclave separated from territory and jurisdiction.

Later, after the Qing Dynasty died, this borderless land became a gathering place for wanderers, and the British ZF was expelled, but the consulate was burned down by the wanderers, and the British ZF gave up the expulsion since then. After that, it became a place where the Chinese ZF didn't care, the British ZF didn't care, and the Xiangjiang ZF didn't care.

In the end, it was the famous triad in the history of the Chinese black state that was actually taken over here, and the walled city became a slum of sin and darkness.

Since the police never set foot here, in the 70s and 80s, law and order in the vicinity of the Kowloon Walled City deteriorated. Many robbers openly robbed in broad daylight, and as long as they turned around and fled back to the walled city, the police were powerless to pursue them. In fact, all kinds of wanted criminals in the areas of Ao Island, Taiwan Island, and Malay Island, when they have no way out, will rush to the Kowloon Walled City to seek refuge.

Since then, the population of Kowloon Walled City has increased dramatically without ZF, and it has become a gathering place for murderers, robbers, D traffickers and other fugitives, as well as a location for various underground factories. All kinds of large and small J courtyards, blocking fields, dog fighting rings, etc. have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Including a large number of underground food processing factories without safety supervision, unlicensed doctors, illegal immigrants, etc., are gathered here.

By the mid-to-late 80s, the population of Kowloon Walled City had grown to 50,000, with an average living area of only 4 square metres per person. All kinds of illegal buildings are built one layer after another, and even 98% of the entire walled area has no sunlight 24 hours a day, and electric lights are also lit at noon.

Dark, dirty, all kinds of narrow dark passages with neon lights in J Courtyard, complex labyrinthine corridors like anthills, leaky walls, squatting on the corner of the sea in the Y gentleman, and lawlessness and ZF, all these have become the synonym of the Kowloon Walled City.

In 84, when Britain and China negotiated in Yanjing on the transfer of sovereignty over Xiangjiang, Huaguo ZF tried to complete one of the several major things that the British ZF had to complete before the transfer of Xiangjiang was to renovate the Kowloon Walled City.

In fact, in the past two years, Hong Kong British ZF has also tried to govern several times, but all of them have been fruitless because the situation is too poor and the black state is deeply entrenched.

In Xu Jing's impression, it was not until 93 years that the Hong Kong British ZF could not bear it, and after dispatching nearly 5,000 police forces and detaining nearly 10,000 people, it lasted a year and finally razed the Kowloon Walled City to the ground.

For this reason, the cartoonist Troy Boyle once said: "I'd rather they tear down the pyramids." to express nostalgia.

Looking at the continuous buildings in front of him, Xu Jing thought of the robber who was chopped off, the patrol veteran named Sun Dahai, and the D-sucking girl who grew up in the Ji.nv family.

Is all this really so romantic and nostalgic in literary works?

"Xu Jing?" Just when Xu Jing's thoughts were fluttering, a familiar voice came from behind him.
