After the launch of "Ip Man 2", various comments from the Hong Kong media on Concord and International followed, and this situation lasted until the end of March. 【Reading.com】

In fact, it is not that it is weakening, but that two major events happened in Hong Kong in mid-to-late March, and the attention of the media has been attracted to it.

The first major event was when British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher went to Hong Kong to hold a press conference, at which she clearly pointed out: Although the Chinese leadership does not recognize the treaty signed between Qing Zhengaxe and Britain, the British side must recognize it.

"Because these treaties have a legal basis."

She also said that she would assume her responsibilities to Hong Kong as British Prime Minister and that Britain would be accountable to the people of Hong Kong.

As soon as this remark came out, the whole Hong Kong was in an uproar, and the student unions of the Chinese University of Chinese and the Institute of Science and Technology also issued a joint statement expressing a stern protest against British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher for "biting the "Yenching Treaty" and "Nanjing Treaty without letting go."

Students from the two universities held banners with slogans such as "No Equal Treaties" and "No Affirmation of Treaties of Aggression against China" and demonstrated outside the press conference hall and submitted letters of protest. In the evening, the student unions of a number of tertiary institutions affiliated with the Hong Kong Federation of Tertiary Students and above took collective boycott actions.

Margaret Thatcher had a nose in Hong Kong, and she never had the same faceless face as a Hong Kong university student, so she said that she would return directly to England.

At the same time, the British government of Hong Kong issued another notice: Sir MacLehose, the 25th Governor of Hong Kong, had expired his term of office and decided to return to Britain at the end of the month.

As soon as Margaret Thatcher left, the new Governor of Hong Kong, Youde, arrived in Hong Kong in a high-profile manner to carry out various work handovers with MacLehose, and then mainstream newspapers such as "Ming Pao" and "Ta Kung Pao" went to conduct interviews.

"Xiaohu, stop filming first, come with me to the Governor's Mansion tonight."

Wang Xiaohu was filmed in Concord Film and Television City for less than a month before he was forcibly "kidnapped" from the set by Run Run Shaw.

"What are you doing at the Doge's Palace?" Wang Xiaohu frowned and said, "I've only shot less than a tenth!" ”

Run Run Shaw glared and said, "Filming can be done at any time, first go with me to visit the soon-to-be-appointed Governor of Hong Kong." ”

"The new Governor?" Wang Xiaohu blinked in surprise when he heard this: "Didn't MacLehose do it?" ”

Shaw sighed and said: "His term expired a year ago, and I wonder what the British had for him to stay in Hong Kong for an extra year." ”

"That's it!" Wang Xiaohu frowned, and suddenly fell into deep thought. "It's time to visit the new Governor."

Whether it is his status as a knight or his social status, as one of the most important representatives of Hong Kong, Wang Xiaohu must meet the newly arrived Governor of Hong Kong.

"Really?" Run Run Shaw said with a smile: "So let's put the filming thing on hold first, you also know that this film has caused a lot of public opinion, if Youde's new official takes office and burns three fires to you, it will not be good for Concord International." ”

Run Run Shaw's words said what Wang Xiaohu was worried about, after all, he and Hong Kong Governor MacLehose are relatively familiar, and everyone has almost reached the point of putting their hearts in their hearts, and during MacLehose's duty, Wang Xiaohu launched "Police Story" to stabilize the storm of clean government and establish a positive image of the Hong Kong police.

This alone not only made MacLehose commended by the British political axe, Wang Xiaohu also had dinner with Queen Elizabeth in person, and was awarded the KBE Commander Medal, and then Wang Xiaohu appeared at international film festivals, making the world realize the important status of Hong Kong films.

All this makes the relationship between MacLehose and Wang Xiaohu extremely harmonious.

But now that MacLehose is leaving, everyone does not understand the temper and surname of the new Hong Kong governor, and if we do not meet in advance and do not hypocritically polite, maybe the development path of Concord and International will really be affected.

To tell the truth, Wang Xiaohu hates socializing, especially when it comes to politics, but the county officials are not as good as the current management, for the sake of Concord International, for himself, he must always pay attention to it, after all, Hong Kong has not yet returned to the mainland, even if it is returned to the mainland, there must be a new statement in the future.

When she returned home, she happened to meet Zhao Yazhi who was going out, and when she saw her husband coming back, she hurriedly said: "Just now, Sir Mak's assistant called home and said that you should attend a private dinner tonight, and I was about to go to the film and television city to inform you, but I didn't expect you to come back first." ”

Zhao Yazhi doesn't have a lot of plots in "Ip Man 2", so she stays at home most of the time.

"I know." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Uncle Sixth has already informed me in advance, his car is waiting outside, go and prepare clothes for me to attend the dinner." ”

Zhao Yazhi hurriedly prepared.

"Lao Wang, do you need us to be there for tonight's event to protect?" Zhao Gang walked into the living room and asked.

Wang Xiaohu smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "The old and new governors are alternate, and the security work on the scene must be in place, so there is no chance for you to appear tonight." ”

"The Governor is going to be replaced?" Zhao Gang was also stunned.

"Didn't you receive news from Yanjing?" Wang Xiaohu had a knowingly asked expression.

Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "No! I have not received any relevant news yet, but the head of the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency is about to be replaced. ”

"Damn, why does Xinhua News Agency also change people? Where did Lao Liang go? Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly when he heard this, what is it and what is it today, you said that the Hong Kong governor will be replaced, which door will you follow Xinhua News Agency?

Zhao Gang said: "Back at the headquarters of Xinhua News Agency, the new person in charge is surnamed Xu. ”

Wang Xiaohu: "What does his surname have to do with me?" ”

Wang Xiaohu said that he went upstairs to change clothes, Zhao Gang stood speechless, and muttered after a long time: "But it has something to do with me!" ”

MacLehose's private dinner was actually held in his villa, and when Wang Xiaohu and Run Run Shaw arrived, they found that there were not many people who came to attend the dinner, and they were all old acquaintances: Li Ka-shing, Pao Yugang, Fok Ying-tung and other Hong Kong tycoons.

"Xiaohu, tonight's banquet is interesting, have you noticed it, all the people present are Chinese, and they all have great influence in Hong Kong."

Wang Xiaohu nodded, and at this time, Li Ka-shing and others came over to greet them.

Wang Xiaohu had a sentence of nonsense with Li Ka-shing and others, and he didn't say it for long, MacLehose came over with a big-nosed foreigner with a smile.

"Hi Tiger, I'm worried that you're too busy making a new film to make a show." MacLehose smiled and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Sir Youde, the incoming governor of Hong Kong." ”

"Youde, this is the Tiger I often talk to you about. Wang, the boss of Concord International. ”

Youde's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stretched out his empty right hand to shake hands with Wang Xiaohu. (Holding a wine glass in his left hand.) ）

"Tiger, nice to meet you." Youde said very politely: "I have seen several of your films, thank you for the international honors achieved for Hong Kong and Britain." ”

"These are my business." Wang Xiaohu also said politely that he rarely spoke on such occasions, and he cherished words like gold.

Seeing this, Li Ka-shing, Bao Yugang and others glanced at each other, and various thoughts flooded in their hearts.

You must know that in the minutes before Wang Xiaohu came, MacLehose also introduced Youde to them, but Youde didn't look salty or light, and he didn't even shake hands, but he shook hands with Wang Xiaohu very enthusiastically, and even affirmed and praised Wang Xiaohu's actions over the years.

What does it mean?

It shows that Wang Xiaohu is very valued by Youde!

This is even more determined that Li Ka-shing and Fok Yingdong are determined to enter the film industry, fuck, let's also set up a film company in the future, make a few good movies and win awards in the world, so that we can also be valued by the Hong Kong governor.

Being valued by the Hong Kong Governor means that the relationship between them will be more harmonious, and it will also be of great help to the development of several wealthy enterprises in the future, after all, they are engaged in careers, unlike movies and other nihilistic things, which are largely restricted by the policies of the British government in Hong Kong.

And Hong Kong British political axe has not formulated any restrictions on Hong Kong films, its development space is naturally much broader, if you are lucky to win a trophy or something at the international film festival, you may become the next Wang Xiaohu.

Youde's performance made several rich people feel unbalanced, but these guys were all old fritters in the mall, and they did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, on the contrary, they slapped Wang Xiaohu's ass hard.

After the small banquet began, MacLehose shouted Wang Xiaohu aside and said, "Tiger, I'm sorry that our happy cooperation is coming to an end, and there are some things I must tell you before leaving." ”

"Sir, please." Wang Xiaohu pricked up his ears, he knew that what MacLehose was going to say next must be related to the new Hong Kong Governor Youde.

"That's right, in fact, Youde is not like being the governor of Hong Kong, you know, now that China and Britain are about to enter the second phase of negotiations, whoever is the governor of Hong Kong means that they have to bear a lot of pressure." "There are people from the British Crown, people from Hong Kong, and people from Yenching, so sometimes Youde will do things that make everyone hurt and angry with each other," MacLehose said. ”

"Sizz, you're not going to tell me he's going to take Ip Man 2, are you?" Wang Xiaohu touched his nose and asked.

"No, how could it be!" MacLehose said: "It's not about it, I've talked to Youde in detail before this, and he won't interfere too much in this matter, I'm referring to other aspects, such as the political axe going to introduce policies related to movies and so on." ”

"Oh?" Wang Xiaohu's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he said in his heart that Hong Kong's British political axe is finally going to start reaching out to the film industry.

However, in my memory, the Hong Kong British political axe should be a few years later for the Hong Kong film classification system, is it because the butterfly effect has advanced by several years?

Wang Xiaohu was confused.

Just listen to MacLehose continue: "You are No.1 in the film industry, so Youde will talk to you about these things first, and you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Wang Xiaohu smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
