Chapter 332: The Birth of a Third-Class Film

The 25th Miss Hong Kong finally broke the biggest news this summer, the No. 3 beauty Qiu Shuzhen, who withdrew angrily due to plastic surgery, signed a high-profile contract with Dark Horse International, and unexpectedly came to a divine turn that caused misfortune and fortune, which shocked countless people's attention.

The signing ceremony was presided over by Zhang Guozhong, although Chen Ping'an was still filming in the United States and did not attend, but it was already rumored that Qiu Shuzhen was personally named and signed by him. This can be regarded as the best publicity for Qiu Shuzhen.

In addition, Qiu Shuzhen, who has just signed a contract with Dark Horse International, starred in "Carmen in Mong Kok" and played the ex-girlfriend of the actor Lau Dehua. Although there are few scenes, "Mong Kok Carmen" has already started, but this role was specially reserved for her, which also verified the rumor from the side.

Hong Kong this summer is destined to be unpeaceful. In the turbulent film industry, the center of the whirlpool is still Chen Ping'an, even if others are not in Hong Kong, but everything that happens is still centered on him.

The Oriental Daily report summed up this phenomenon in one sentence: he is not in Hong Kong, but there are legends of him everywhere in Hong Kong.

After Qiu Shuzhen signed a contract with Dark Horse International, Hong Kong's "Film Censorship Ordinance" was released, and the classification was mainly divided into I., II., III. three levels according to the age limit of the audience, and the cause of the incident was that Dark Horse International submitted "Midnight Bell" for review.

Under the laws of Hong Kong, films intended for release or distribution on videotapes or CDs in Hong Kong are required to be submitted to and approved by the Hong Kong Film and Television Administration (HKFILMU) for grading by the Hong Kong Film and Television Administration.

A copy of the Certificate of Approval of the Film Censorship Ordinance issued by the Film and Television Department must be shown for all graded films, whether they are shown in cinemas or distributed on CD.

"Midnight Bell" is a "murderous name", and the box office of 1.6 billion shocked the film industry, and the cost of this movie is only a few million Hong Kong dollars. The conclusion that horror films are prone to appear in the film of a knife and sawing a big tree has been verified again.

The "murderous name" of this movie is not the Japanese box office, but when it was released in Japan, the original version scared the audience to death. Even though "Midnight Bell" sent to the Hong Kong Film and Television Department for rating is already a revised version, it is still valued by the Film and Television Department.

On a hot afternoon, the screening room of the film and television department was cold to the bone, and the screams of the judges rang out from time to time.

There were no problems with the release of "Midnight Bell", but considering the lessons of Japan, the film and television department had to be reformed. As a result, the three-level system was introduced, and "Midnight Bell" became the first three-level film in Hong Kong's history, and only audiences aged 18 or above were allowed to watch it.

In view of the fact that "Midnight Bell" is so scary that it even scared people's lives, it was released in Hong Kong and received special "treatment". not only became the first third-level film, limiting the audience, but also restricting the publicity methods of Dark Horse International.

For example, it is not allowed to place trailer advertisements on TVB or ATV, and it is not allowed to carry out any publicity activities with the theme of terror and fright. It's not for Dark Horse International or this movie, it's really because this movie is too scary, so as not to frighten the children and lead to a tragedy on the Japanese side.

But even so, knowing that the film was reviewed by the Guò Film and Television Department and would be released during Halloween, it spread throughout Hong Kong in just a few days by word of mouth. Many student parties under the age of 18 scolded them, and these student parties who were in a period of rebellion and excitement were looking forward to the release of "Midnight Bell" for more than a day or two.

Outsiders watched the excitement and talked about "Midnight Bell"; Outsiders are looking at the doorway and studying the newly released "Film Censorship Regulations".

This was the first real film classification system in Hong Kong, and after the Film Censorship Bill 1987 came into effect, Hong Kong also implemented the "three-class system" for films from this day.

This marks the beginning of the relaxation of Hong Kong's electrical inspection standards, and Hong Kong filmmakers can gain more creative space and shoot more masterpieces that break through the taboo of the subject matter, but it will also lead to a flood of violent and large-scale films.

Hong Kong's famous "third-level film" was born, but now no one can predict it, let alone think that "Midnight Bell" will become the ancestor of Hong Kong's third-level film, and this is related to Chen Ping'an.

If it weren't for him, if he hadn't filmed "Midnight Bell", maybe the Hong Kong film industry would have followed the original trajectory and waited until next year to introduce the "Film Censorship Ordinance". Since then, the water in the Hong Kong film industry has begun to become mixed, and its trajectory has also begun to face up to changes.

At the beginning of September, there was once again strong news from Taiwan, and Zhao Yazhi, who had been in the entertainment industry for two years, made a comeback!

Taiwan's Chunghwa Television Company contacted Zhao Yazhi, who lived in seclusion in the United States, and flew to the United States to negotiate with Zhao Yazhi, and finally invited Zhao Yazhi to come out of the mountain to shoot "Jinghua Fengyun", which was carefully prepared by China Television, as her perfect comeback in Taiwan.

When the news came, Hong Kong was a sensation. "Su Rongrong" in "Chu Liuxiang" and "Feng Chengcheng" in "Shanghai Tang", her acting skills, her beauty, and her beauty have conquered countless audiences.

This charming woman is known as the most beautiful in China, and her smile is fascinating. The year before last, he inexplicably fled to the United States and was never heard from, which is incomprehensible and regrettable, and today's comeback has made countless viewers crazy.

However, the craziest thing is not her comeback, but when she appeared in Taiwan, she held a more than one-year-old child in her arms!

As we all know, she and her ex-husband Huang Hanwei have two sons, but the youngest is seven years old, and the eldest is ten years old.

It is impossible to raise, then there is only one possibility, she gave birth to herself!

So, the big question arises, who is the father of the child?

This question instantly pushed Zhao Yazhi to the forefront of public opinion, and opened the newspaper every day, if any newspaper did not report on her, it would make the sun come out of the west.

Fortunately, China Television has a strong background in Taiwan and protected Zhao Yazhi, and it is impossible for reporters to come to harass him. Under the arrangement of China Television, Zhao Yazhi held a small meeting, and the scene was lively, except for the mainland, almost all other places had reporters coming, mainly for one question - who is the father of the child.

Zhao Yazhi is still beautiful, her demeanor is undiminished, and in the face of the chatter of reporters, she just said lightly, saying that she met a romantic love in the United States, and that child is the crystallization of this romantic love.

When a reporter asked who the child's father was, and now he was here, Zhao Yazhi pulled the hair on her forehead, smiled and told everyone that she was the man she loved the most in her life, but for some reason, the two were inseparable, and that man could only become a guest in her life, leaving her the most precious little life.

The topic of "who is the child's father" has become the hottest topic, countless newspapers are discussing, countless people are speculating, and all kinds of speculations are in the dust, and even the third round of movies released in the summer vacation of the Hong Kong film industry has suppressed the limelight.

In mid-to-late August, the second round of the Hong Kong film industry's summer vacation party ended, and "Hardcover Chasing Girls" topped the list with a score of 23 million, once again showing the strong strength of Dark Horse International, Wang Jing's commercial film directorial talent, and the second prize is justified.

Golden Harvest's "Oriental Condor" ranked second with a slight disadvantage of less than 100,000, showing the strong foundation and good strength of the old film leader.

Debao's "Fairy in the Painting" relied on "A Chinese Ghost Story" and Wang Zuxian's super popularity, and achieved a box office of 17 million, although it lost to Dark Horse International and Golden Harvest, but it is still a good record for Debao. What's more, the success of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in Japan, Wang Zuxian's popularity in Japan, was distributed by Japanese film companies with a lot of money at the beginning of its release.

The box office of 15 million is still at the bottom of the box office of "Windfall 30 Million" in New Art City, but for the Golden Princess, only New Art City can become the name of the theater chain, and the recovery momentum of New Art City is becoming more and more obvious.

With the completion of the four films, the third round of confrontation officially began.

"Plan A Sequel", "The Thief of Heaven", "Tiger Guard" and "Prison Storm" became the four films in the third round of confrontation, and four wonderful films.

"Plan A Sequel" does not need to be repeated, as a sequel to the blockbuster movie "Plan A", it continues to star Cheng Long, and no one will doubt the box office and reputation of this movie; "The Thief of the Sky" was filmed by Debao, and the heroine is still Michelle Yang who is about to become the proprietress of Debao, the joining of Lin Zishen and Zheng Zeshi, and the decision of Michelle Yang to stop filming after filming this movie, marrying Pan Disheng and sitting in Mrs. Pan with peace of mind, have all become a publicity gimmick for the film.

"Tiger Guard" is a work of Xinyicheng, the fairy hair, Li Yuanba's fitness skills, and Lizhi's devilish figure are destined to become the main hit of Xinyicheng and the Golden Princess. And this qiē gimmick is not as strong as the impact of the director, the director of this movie is the first director Liu Jialiang to jump from Dark Horse International!

Dark Horse International's "Prison Storm" is another all-man film. Due to Chen Ping'an's absence, the assistant director Guan Jinpeng appeared in the publicity and the premiere, which made Guan Jinpeng complain again and again, complaining that Chen Ping'an did not pay enough attention to this movie.

This can't be blamed on Guan Jinpeng, even Shi Nansheng is complaining. Since the beginning of this year, Dark Horse International's films have been able to win the box office championship in every important schedule, even if it is the same schedule, they have won the first place.

"Hardcover Chasing Girls" almost lost to "Oriental Condor", which made Shi Nansheng break out in a cold sweat, but after winning with an advantage of less than 100,000, her mood was invested in the movie "Prison Storm".

Winning is her only idea, especially "Tiger Shift", also starring Zhou Runfa, directed by Liu Jialiang, which decided that Dark Horse International can't lose, and can't afford to lose!

According to Zhou Yunfa, the drama "Tiger Guard" is very good, and Li Yuanba, a newcomer, should not be underestimated, as well as the benefits brought by the beautiful Lizhi...... It's a tough opponent.

I don't know the bottom of my heart, how good would it be if Chen Ping'an could come back to take charge?

Shi Nansheng discovered for the first time that Chen Ping'an, who was in his twenties and often broke out wild remarks, had already become the backbone of the entire company...... R1152
