"A first-of-its-kind horror film!"

"The film's 'seven-day limit', the constant appearance of date subtitles, the heroine's often uttered lines of 'x days left', and the interspersed close-ups of clocks and watches constantly remind the audience of the approach of 'death', and the frequency of hints is becoming more and more dense, exerting an increasingly breathless sense of tension on the audience......"

"The alternation of dark and warm tones, the deep corridors and overhead staircases, the hideous close-ups of the dead characters, the reflections on television, the interspersing of black-and-white fantasy and color reality, and the darker and thicker clouds that extend to the intersection of heaven and earth, always create a suffocating atmosphere......"

"According to the general detective film routine or suspense film routine, the film should be over when the hero and heroine find Sadako's remains. The audience's hanging hearts were comforted by the moment when the heroine hugged Sadako's skull head, and even many viewers gave up on the unsolved mystery of 'how the tape kills' at this time.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when the audience's mind was a little relaxed, the most terrifying scene of the film - a complete "Sadako murder" was presented, which scared the audience by surprise. The ending of the film falls from light to darkness at once, leaving the audience with an eternal shadow......"

……

After "Midnight Bell" was released in the United States and Hong Kong at the same time, the media in both places gave the film high praise. Not to mention the Hong Kong media, even the American media have dubbed this film a "Hong Kong-style thriller" with very alternative characteristics.

The film cleverly uses television, telephone and videotape, which are the most frequently contacted in family life, to create a suffocating horror atmosphere, opening up the audience's imagination in various ways.

Even those heavy tastes. Americans who like to stimulate bloody violence, after watching movies, also have an inexplicable fear of television and telephone. It's okay to say during the day. Especially at night, the phone rings suddenly. Even if the lights are bright, a family reunion will produce an inexplicable chill.

With the release of "Midnight Bell", a new model of prank was born - calling people at night and not saying a word.

The next day's newspaper was full of praise for "Midnight Bell". As the first step in the Hong Kong film industry, it did not disappoint and left an indelible impression...... Many would be reluctant to be so impressed if it were possible.

Chen Ping'an can finally sleep comfortably. Zhang Min and Zhou Haimei both came to the villa last night. It was raining again, the bedroom was full of silver, the two daughters were lying in Chen Ping'an's arms on the left and the right, and the three of them fell asleep.

After a long-term habit of filming TV series, Zhou Haimei woke up early, and when he saw Chen Ping'an who was asleep, he was not alarmed, but adjusted his comfortable posture, curled up in Chen Ping'an's warm and solid arms, and fell asleep again in a daze.

Three poles on the sun. She woke up again and found that Chen Ping'an was still asleep, while Zhang Min had woken up. is looking at Chen Ping'an, his eyes are full of tenderness and sweetness.

Recalling the crazy last night, Zhang Min and Chen Ping'an mentioned the upcoming filming of "My Sassy Girlfriend", Zhou Haimei had a sour taste in his heart.

Zhong Chuhong and Wang Guxian don't talk about it, even Zhang Min, who is later than him, enjoys better treatment than himself. Chen Ping'an never thought about making a movie for himself, he was busy filming wirelessly every day, although he was famous and took on many TV series. However, in terms of popularity and income, they are far inferior to Zhong Chuhong and Wang Guxian.

Right now. Zhang Min is about to surpass herself, how can Zhou Haimei not be jealous?

What's more, she learned from the mouths of the two. Chen Ping'an sacrificed a lot in order to make Zhang Min popular this time, and he was bullied by Zhang Min very badly in the movie......

"You're awake." Zhang Min's soft voice sounded, afraid of waking Chen Ping'an and pulling Zhou Haimei back from his contemplation.

Zhou Haimei smiled, his smile was a little bitter: "Congratulations, you are about to become popular, Brother An is so good to you." ”

"Ah Mei, don't say that, Brother An is also very good to you. He's ready to buy ATV, you think, it's not for you? ”

"Acquisition of ATV? Are you sure? Zhou Hai's eyebrows and beautiful eyes flashed, when it came to filming TV series, she had a unique advantage, "Why didn't he buy Infinity?" ”

Everyone knows that ATV was crushed by wireless. And Zhou Haimei debuted on wireless, and he is very familiar with the staff and actors of the TV station.

"I want to buy wireless, but the problem is that people don't want to sell it!" Chen Ping'an's voice sounded, and the second daughter's conversation still woke him up, "Why did I ask a sour smell just now?" Isn't it you? ”

Chen Ping'an first sniffed back and forth on Zhang Min's body, making Zhang Min giggle, then shook his head and said "No", and then pounced on Zhou Haimei, sniffing back and forth on her face, jade neck, fragrant shoulders and crisp breasts, and finally nodded, kissing Zhou Haimei's small mouth very simply.

After some inhalation, he said with certainty: "That's right, the sour smell is coming from you." ”

"What's the matter, people take a shower every day, and I took a shower with you last night, how can there be a sour smell!"

Zhang Min smiled "poof": "Ah Mei, don't listen to Brother An's nonsense, he lied to you!" ”

Zhou Haimei was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, his cheeks were slightly red, and he said coquettishly: "If you are necrotic, you will bully me!" ”

"That's because I love you."

Chen Ping'an made a gesture to kiss and was pushed away by Zhou Haimei: "You will coax me, they are all red, I am the only one left, you ignore me, and say that you love me!" ”

"Didn't I decide to buy ATV for your sake?"

"Is it really for me?"

"Of course, otherwise I'm not familiar with the acquisition of TV stations."

Although it is a lie, Zhou Haimei is still willing to believe it. As soon as he smiled every day, he wanted to take the initiative to kiss Chen Ping'an, but suddenly thought of something, pouted and said: "There are more beautiful girls on the TV station, are you ......?"

As soon as she said this, Zhang Min also reacted, and the two daughters questioned Chen Ping'an together, asking him not to mess with flowers and grass anymore, and not to add new sisters to them.

The three of them giggled and played in bed, and Chen Ping'an did not exercise in the morning for the first time. The night before yesterday, yesterday morning, yesterday afternoon, and last night were tossed too much, and I was a little overwhelmed.

In the afternoon, he received a call from the United States, and Anne Hurd brought him two pieces of good news.

One is naturally the response of "Midnight Bells" in the United States, and the other is that Twentieth Century Fox finally agreed to arrange the release of "Rain Man" this Christmas.

As Chen Ping'an imagined, the stock market crash in October brought immeasurable losses to the United States, and many people went bankrupt and owed high debts. The bankruptcy of enterprises and the loss of workers have greatly affected investment and consumption, which in turn has affected and reduced national income.

In the United States, a quarter of the country's population invests directly in stocks, and this group of people is basically distributed among the age groups with the greatest purchasing power. The collapse in the stock market has hit people who have relied on stock dividends, dividends and investing in stocks for profit. Some experts predict that in the next year, private consumption spending in the United States will be reduced by about $50 billion.

In the first half of 1987, foreign investors bought about $200 billion in shares on Wall Street, and their morale was greatly damaged in this upsurge, and their confidence was frustrated. Domestic investors are also apprehensive. Many enterprises are afraid to issue new shares because of the decline in stock prices, and the expansion of production in some enterprises has been inhibited.

In a word, the gloom in the United States is shrouded in the country, and there is an urgent need for something full of positive energy to arouse people's confidence. So Twentieth Century Fox decided to release "Rain Man" on Christmas, and Brad Pitt in the play was also troubled because of business failure, but in the face of family and money, he made a touching right choice.

Anne Heard was very excited, and did not mention Chen Ping'an's loan to raise funds to invest in the stock market, obviously knowing the truth from Li Xiaolin's mouth, and she was in a relaxed mood.

Good news followed, and so did bad news.

Because at the premiere last night, he announced in public that he was going to acquire ATV, and many reporters went to ATV for interviews, and some reporters found Qiu Degen and asked him how the acquisition was going.

How's it going?

Qiu Degen almost didn't scold, he also learned from the newspaper as soon as possible that Chen Ping'an wanted to buy ATV, where did he say anything about the progress!

Qiu Degen has also been quite upset lately.

The advantages of wireless are becoming more and more obvious, and ATV's position is becoming more and more passive. Employees change jobs from time to time, earnings decrease, and there are too many external worries in the event of a global stock market crash.

Although ATV is not listed, his Far East Group is a listed company, and he has lost a lot of money and shrunk in this stock disaster.

That's it, there is a mysterious fund that is taking advantage of the stock market crash to sweep the goods at a low level. According to preliminary estimates, the other party's shares have reached nearly 5%, worth more than 100 million, and the decline in the stock price of the Far Eastern Group has also slowed down.

It seems like a good thing, at least for ordinary shareholders. But it is different for Qiu Degen, who holds the controlling stake, which shows that some people are paying attention to the Far Eastern Group again!

Who is absorbing against the market? Who does this money belong to? What is the purpose? Is it related to the other shareholders of the group? Is there a coveted chairmanship?

In addition to external troubles, there are also internal worries.

Qiu Degen has a son who is a cheating father, and he is in prison if he doesn't study well, and he has a lot of trouble.

Although the stock market crash did not hurt his muscles and bones, he also suffered a lot of losses, and he also intended to transfer part of ATV's equity, which can be regarded as the introduction of strategic partners to jointly operate ATV against wireless, and at the same time realize part of the funds for backup.

If Chen Ping'an said it well and could give a reasonable price, he would not object to transferring one-third of the shares to Chen Ping'an. The cooperation between TV stations and film companies can be regarded as a strong alliance that complements each other's advantages.

But Chen Ping'an's high-profile announcement last night aroused Qiu Degen's dissatisfaction. If he doesn't fight for steamed buns, if he just agrees like this, doesn't it mean that he Qiu Degen is afraid of Chen Ping'an?

Therefore, in the face of reporters' inquiries, he replied without hesitation: "I have no idea of selling ATV at the moment. Even if there is, it will not be sold to young people who don't know how to run a TV station and have no experience at all! (To be continued) R655
