Chapter Ninety-One: A Choice of Fate
The time came to mid-October, and "The True Color of Heroes" was finally completed after a month of grinding, and Lei Jiankun also took advantage of the off-season of the market at this time to build a multiplex theater.
Although Jiahe and the Shan family have paid attention, they have not paid too much attention, but it is a general renovation, after all, they are also carried out at this time of the year, but it is strange to the method of the Golden Princess, except for the four major theaters such as Lisheng and Kaisheng that are open as usual, other small and medium-sized theaters are closed "decoration".
Although others have also paid attention, they have not studied it in detail, and in the past two months, whether it is the Golden Princess, Xinyicheng or other people related to it, they have all been deliberately low-key. Then there is the fact that people are attracted to other things......
Hong Kong in September 1984 was wonderful, first of all, the movie "Family Portrait" of New Arts City won more than 22 million box office, and the cross-border production "Fast Food Truck" released by Golden Harvest in the same period performed slightly worse at the box office in Hong Kong, only more than 21 million.
Although the main income of the current Hong Kong film industry is to a large extent, it is more important to pay attention to the income of foreign countries, but born in the local area, many people pay more attention to the face of their families.
The second is the uproar of the wireless five tigers will "strike to protest against the unequal treaty" incident, a week later, the wireless high-level suddenly came out of the five tigers Liang Chaowei has "repented" the news that the contract has been renewed, the fortress has a gap, the result can be imagined, the "five tigers" collective job hunting in the film industry desire to fail, no end, waiting for them is an unknown tomorrow.
On 26 September, the two-year negotiations between the Chinese and British governments on the Hong Kong issue finally reached a preliminary conclusion, and on the same day the two governments initialed a joint statement on the Hong Kong issue and three annexes in Beijing.
This is the real big event, Hong Kong is just a place, fate has made it, it is destined to be extraordinary; Chan knew Hong Kong better than anyone else now.
Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs; In this world, in the face of politics, any extraordinary will be like an ant pinched in the hands of people, being played with by others, and many people exist as pawns in this world, and they are unaware of it......
It should be noted that after the formal founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, because the impact of the Second World War had not yet subsided, and although the Chinese government had the support of the socialist camp, it also urgently needed to be recognized by the rest of the world, so many things were tacitly "put on hold" at home and in other countries......
For example, the land occupied by the Soviet Union, which also belonged to the socialist camp, Mongolia, which broke away from Mongolia, as well as Macao, Hong Kong and other places......
Hong Kong as a special region has a vital role with the United Kingdom, so Hong Kong is very important to the economic interests of the United Kingdom, so before 1972, Hong Kong's reserves had to be placed in the United Kingdom (in June 1972, this figure was as high as 900 million pounds, equivalent to more than 10% of the British foreign exchange reserves).
Even if this rule was later lifted, Britain would still be able to reap the staggering intangible benefits of the Pearl of the Orient.
It is precisely because of Hong Kong's great role in Britain that the latter will never give up easily, and implements a strict and even harsh system and high-pressure management, which has caused a "dark period" in Hong Kong society that has lasted for decades, and a large number of influential figures have also emerged. For example, the "Four Families" and the "Four Detectives" in the 60s, the police and bandit families, black and white, appeared in Hong Kong films later......
Although Britain still controlled Hong Kong, the former British Empire was no longer in its glory, and the national movement was not limited to Chinese mainland, but to the whole world, such as India, which was also a colony, was liberated by the efforts of the Gandhi family.
Because of the surging national independence movement, the political system of the British government in Hong Kong was forced to monopolize and close the situation by colonial bureaucrats and British-funded consortia, and evolved into a limited opening to the Chinese consortia in Hong Kong and the middle class of Chinese society in Hong Kong, which embellished a soft color in its **** rule.
Bao Yugang, who ranked first among the world's seven major ship kings, Dong Yunhao, who ranked second, Yifu and Lu Yuantao, who developed in the film industry, and most of the future top ten Hong Kong consortia, including Li Chaoren, seized the opportunity at that time and finally became world-famous tycoons.
At the same time, the British government in Hong Kong is committed to improving people's livelihood undertakings such as municipal administration and social welfare, so as to alleviate social conflicts. However, the fundamental nature of its colonial rule has not changed. Until the advent of the transitional period, Hong Kong's democratic development remained suppressed.
Until the end of the 60s, a large-scale violence caused by labor disputes broke out, and Hong Kong's trade union organizations and **** groups followed the example of the mainland Red Guards and established the Hong Kong and Kowloon Struggle Committee against the British persecution in Hong Kong and Kowloon, and resisted the high-pressure rule of the British government in Hong Kong with fierce methods.
This move finally forced the British government to reform Hong Kong's political system, abolishing all official seats and allowing half of government members to be elected by the people.
In the 70s, the British government in Hong Kong reformed the executive and legislative bureaux. The executive and legislative bureaus not only have the heads of British-funded consortia such as HSBC, Jardine Matheson, and Swire, but also have figures with American and Japanese backgrounds; Not only businessmen, professional legislators, but also workers' representatives, as well as some church figures and social workers engaged in the work of the lower classes, have joined the Legislative Council, forming an extremely complex political environment in Hong Kong, which also affects all walks of life in Hong Kong.
In fact, all the political reforms of the British government in Hong Kong were essentially aimed at strengthening and perpetuating its colonial rule. A striking example is that as late as 1977, 97.6 per cent of Hong Kong people believed that they had no influence on the formation of government policy.
It wasn't until a few years ago that Hong Kong Governor MacLehose learned that the Chinese government would resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong in 1997.
In the short period of years from 1979 to 1984 when the Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed, the British government in Hong Kong successively completed the constitutional reform of the grassroots district councils, middle-level municipal councils and regional councils, and began to march towards the reform of the Legislative Council and the Executive Council with a high-level constitutional structure.
This is in stark contrast to the gradual, passive, and responsive attitude toward political reform that preceded more than a century before that.
This shows that Britain is trying to cultivate a disguised independent political entity to contain China, and to allow China to resume the exercise of only one nominal sovereignty over Hong Kong in 1997.
It can be said that in the future, Hong Kong's independence elements and the mainland's anti-independence and indignant youth have all fallen for the tricks of the British government, and they have been completely tricked by others as monkeys -- the fishermen have always benefited, and the sandpiper clam is still fighting without knowing it, so politics is the most terrible thing in the world, but unfortunately there are few people who can understand it, and 98% of the people in the world are being played by the other 2%.
At the wine table, everyone who heard Chen Yongren's astonishing remarks was stunned and silent for a long time, and Zou Yunfa suddenly spoke: "Ah Ren, what do you mean...... How Hong Kong has changed in recent decades and what is its future destiny? ”。
Chen Yongren nodded: "It can be said that everything is the inevitable result of historical development!" ”。
"But...... None of this seems to have anything to do with us, does it? We're just making a movie......
"No...... Matter! ”。
Everyone looked over, but it was Cui Baozhu and Zhuang Cheng who spoke at the same time, the two looked at each other and smiled, the former said to the latter: "Ah Cheng, you say it first......
Zhuang Cheng was polite to Cui Baozhu, turned to Chen Yongren and smiled: "I understand your thoughts a little......."
"Tell me......" Chen Yongren replied with a chuckle.
