Tiu Keng Ling, formerly known as 'Hanging Neck Ridge', was a retired Canadian civil servant named Lenny who invested in the construction of a flour mill in the early years, but declared closure and committed suicide due to high cost and poor quality. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause it is rumored that it was a relationship between hanging himself in a flour mill and dying, so it has the nickname "Hanging Neck Ridge".

After the Nationalist Government moved to Taiwan in 1949, some retired veterans and their families who were unwilling and unwilling to move to Taiwan were resettled in the Davis Ridge Civic Village, but in the early 50s, a group of leftists sent students to the Davis Ridge refugee area to provoke the veterans, which eventually turned into a bloody conflict. In view of this, the Hong Kong government relocated the veterans and their families to 'Hanging Neck Ridge' in the same year. Later, because of the unpleasant relationship of this name, the Hong Kong government took the homonym of 'Hanging Neck Ridge' and renamed it 'Tiaojing Ling', which has the meaning of adjusting the situation.

The location of this place is very remote, and the only means of transportation to the outside world is the ferry to Shau Kei Wan. It is precisely because of the extremely inconvenient transportation that the development of this place is extremely poor, and compared with other places on Hong Kong Island, it is really a heaven and an underground. If you insist on comparison, you can make an analogy, this place is equivalent to the mainland countryside in this era, but because of the relationship between Hong Kong Island and the basic equipment, it is better than the mainland.

Tiu Keng Leng is just a small mountain village, except for residential houses, there are not many buildings, a school, a hospital, a post office, a fire station, the police station set up by the Hong Kong government is not in the village, but on the top of the mountain, and the villagers set up their own patrols in the village to prevent Zuo Pai from entering the village and poisoning the water source, and watch and help each other. In this era, although the struggle between the Left faction and Taiwan Island was not as fierce as in previous years, accidents still occurred from time to time, and it was not impossible for some agitators to poison and kill people.

The place where Lei Juewen and his crew lived was in a house not far from Tiu Keng Ling Middle School, which was rented by the crew as a place for the entire crew to rest and live.

The group came to the resting place, put their luggage in their rooms, and then went to Tiu Keng Ling Middle School. Here in the school, the crew has arranged a start-up worship ceremony, and every film and television drama on Hong Kong Island must be worshiped before the start of filming, so as to seek a good fortune and have a good box office.

When the crew came to Tiu Keng Ling Middle School, it was the time of class, so when everyone turned on to worship God, there were many students outside who watched the excitement, all of them were teenagers.

Soon, the worship is over, and then it's time for reporters to ask questions. The reporters who came this time were all reporters from Lei Juewen's newspapers and magazines, so what questions each reporter would ask were all arranged, and this was a process of asking and answering, and there would be no conflict. Lei Juewen is not famous at all now, not many people know that he is a tycoon, and he has his own newspapers and magazines, so he did not invite other newspaper reporters to come.

The reporter asked: "Hello, Mr. Lei Juewen Lei, I don't know how much production cost this film called "Happy Ghost" has?" ”

Lei Juewen had a smile on his face and replied: "For this film, Light Screen Pictures has great expectations, so it will invest two million Hong Kong dollars to shoot it." ”

"Wow!!" ...

A burst of exclamations sounded, this was not arranged, after all, it was just newspaper propaganda, and there was no need for sound at all, and it was the onlookers who made the sound, and they couldn't help but let out an exclamation when they heard the figure of two million Hong Kong dollars. For them, not to mention 2 million Hong Kong dollars, it is 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is also a very large amount.

In fact, Lei Juewen's film does not have an investment of 2 million Hong Kong dollars at all, according to his estimates, if nothing else, it will be at most more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and the reason why the slogan of 2 million Hong Kong dollars is shouted is not to achieve the publicity effect. In the past 80 years, there have not been many Hong Kong Island movies with a box office of more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars, not to mention that the investment cost is so high.

The investment of 2 million Hong Kong dollars, if it is not said that Golden Harvest shouted 60 million US dollars last year to shoot six big-budget films with the participation of international superstars, it can be said that it is the largest filming cost on Hong Kong Island at present, but if it is the most cost, it is not impossible, after all, Golden Harvest invested in shooting Western films, not Hong Kong films.

Golden Harvest does what it says, "Killer Trench" started filming as planned, the film hired Hollywood star Jose Farah Justin Thubel, directed by Hollywood's Robert Cross, and starring Cheng Long and Zhao Jianing on Hong Kong Island. The reason why Lei Juewen met Cheng Long in the United States was because Cheng Long was shooting this film in the United States, and it was also because of the relationship between filming the film in the United States that he met Deng Lijun and wanted to pursue it, but Lei Juewen took the lead and could only end gloomily.

However, if you wait until the best partner of the joint production of Light Screen Pictures and New Arts City comes out, it will be big news, after all, no matter what the cost of the best partner is, the external publicity will definitely say that it is more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, this is not like Golden Harvest shooting Western films in the United States, but authentic Hong Kong films, when the time comes, the hat of the film with the largest investment cost on Hong Kong Island will definitely fall on the head of the best partner, even if Golden Harvest is not convinced, it is useless, who let them invest in Western films, only the poor two actors are involved, I just want to be far-fetched, and it can't be said to be a Hong Kong film.

The reporter asked again: "Mr. Lei, since this film has such a big investment, then your company and you must have great confidence, can you tell us about your box office expectations for this film?" ”

This is a good question, Lei Juewen replied: "For the film "Happy Ghost", we are very confident, I believe that the box office will not be less than 7 million Hong Kong dollars, if the audience is willing to buy it, our goal will be to break the box office record on Hong Kong Island. ”

"Breaking box office records? The current box office record on Hong Kong Island is "Brother Goes Out" produced by Golden Harvest, with a box office of more than 11 million Hong Kong dollars, are you sure you have this confidence? ”

Lei Juewen waved his hand and smiled: "It's one thing to have confidence, but it's another thing to succeed." In the list of actors this time, we invited Miss Feng Chengcheng and Zhao Yazhi, with her, I believe that Hong Kong people will be willing to buy it, and I have confidence in Miss Zhao. ”

"Then may I ask, is Miss Zhao the protagonist of this film?"

"Miss Zhao Yazhi is an important role in this film, and her role will not be less." Zhao Yazhi is just a supporting role, but Lei Juewen doesn't mind making Zhao Yazhi's role more important, anyway, he is talking about an important role, and he is not saying that Zhao Yazhi is the protagonist, and it is not a lie.
