Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes.

The entertainment industry has always been known for its many mouths, and in this year's Academy Awards, many awards are almost covered by Dark Horse International, so naturally there will be different voices. First of all, some media questioned the fairness of this year's Academy Awards. The Hong Kong Film Awards is the Academy Awards of the Hong Kong film industry, not the Academy Awards of the Dark Horse International!

The organizing committee of the Academy Awards seems to have expected that this kind of voice will appear in the media after the award ceremony, so a critical article from Chen Baisheng appeared in many media as quickly as possible.

"The Academy Awards aim to encourage the creation and development of outstanding Hong Kong films, and there will be no favoritism or insider trading. The selection of the Academy Awards adopts a multi-round, multi-person, and multi-level film review system, with a professional jury to select the final winners after two rounds of voting, so it is impossible for individuals to affect the selection results.

The results of this year's Academy Awards, in my opinion, are both unexpected and emotional. It is unexpected, because since the Academy Awards were held, no film company has ever been able to win so many awards; said that it was a love story, because the results of this year's Academy Awards truly reflected last year's Hong Kong film industry.

Nowadays, many people question the results of this Academy Awards, I would like to ask the doubters, which movie do you think in the Hong Kong film industry last year can surpass "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Bloody Heroes" in terms of box office and word-of-mouth? Even "Underground Love" directed by director Guan Jinpeng is incomparable to many movies.

Director Wu Yusen's violent aesthetic concept shown in "Bloody Heroes", and the film stunt shots used in "A Chinese Ghost Story". The social reality disclosed in "Underground Love" is either a precedent in the film industry or a masterpiece. Among the more than 100 movies released in the film industry last year, which ones can be compared?

Instead of not being able to eat grapes, say that grapes are sour. Complaining here that his film did not win the award, and even questioning the fairness of the Academy Awards, it is better to put a little more thought into it and seriously shoot a few movies with good word-of-mouth and box office. Otherwise, next year's Academy Awards, I'm afraid it will be the dark horse international alone!

That's all for you, please think deeply. ”

Although he has never participated in the work in front of and behind the scenes, he and his friends founded "Film Fortnightly", which is the most professional film magazine in the Hong Kong film industry. And the birth of the Hong Kong Film Awards. It is also organized by "Film Fortnightly", and after several years of development, it has established a particularly professional image in the hearts of the public.

Chen Baisheng's article is fair and just, although it cannot block the mouths of the people, but it has caused many citizens in a state of crowd to think deeply. The box office and word-of-mouth of a movie are precisely the proof that more than 100 movies released in Hong Kong last year are good or bad from more than a dozen of Dark Horse International. Everyone has a rod scale in their hearts.

The media loves controversial topics the most, and they are repeatedly hyped up in the days after the Academy Awards.

Easter in 1987 kicked off in the aftermath of the Academy Awards.

On the evening of April 15, Debao's "Chinese Warrior" and Yongjia Pictures' "Heavenly Bond". The premieres were held at Debao Cinemas and Golden Princess Cinemas respectively, igniting the fire of war in this year's Easter schedule.

The result of the 6th Hong Kong Film Awards being covered by Dark Horse International deeply stimulated the other three major film companies. Debao and Princess Jin have made great efforts at this premiere to compete with Dark Horse International's literary film masterpiece "Autumn Fairy Tale".

This is just the first step. Various film companies are in full swing to prepare. The longest summer vacation, the Christmas file that ends at the end of the year...... Vow to compete with the dark horse international. Reverse the pattern of last year's dark horse international dominance!

In this year's Lunar New Year stalls, the movies released in the four cinemas in Hong Kong are more exciting than the last, and there are also good films released in various cinemas after the Lunar New Year. The several movies released this year give people a feeling of reaching a new level as a whole. Some film critics pointed out that if the three movies launched by Debao, Golden Harvest, and Xinyicheng in the Lunar New Year were released last year, then the Academy Awards a few days ago would not have made Dark Horse International special.

This argument has been unanimously recognized by people inside and outside the industry, so after the Easter schedule kicked off, it immediately attracted the attention of Hong Kong citizens, and the premiere tickets for "Chinese Warrior" and "God-given Relationship" began to sell out, and quickly sold out.

Tonight's two premieres, Dark Horse International sent people to attend, Chen Ping'an, as the boss, it is impossible to always attend the premieres of other companies' films, and he has important guests to meet tonight.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the staff of Hong'an Tao Bar had already gotten off work, and there was a sign at the door that said "After Work", but the lights were still on in the Tao Bar.

Behind the coffee bar, Zhong Chuhong was busy boiling water, grinding coffee beans, and making coffee. If outsiders see that the goddess in their heart is playing the role of barista, they will definitely be shocked.

"The coffee is ready, Mr. Mak Ka Wah, please try my handiwork." Zhong Chuhong walked over with a smile and poured a cup of coffee for the two of them.

A foreigner in his early forties named Mai Jiahua quickly stood up and said with great honor: "I am deeply honored to be able to drink the coffee brewed by Miss Zhong herself." ”

"Thank you. Hope you enjoy it. Zhong Chuhong bowed slightly, and then sat down beside Chen Ping'an.

Chen Ping'an asked, "Your habits haven't changed?" ”

Zhong Chuhong doesn't drink coffee at night, which is a habit she developed after arriving in the United States. Hearing that Chen Ping'an still remembered his little habits, Zhong Chuhong's heart was warm, and he nodded with a smile: "I have always been very single-minded, and I will never change lightly." ”

With the help of the coffee table and tablecloth, Chen Ping'an's hand gently stroked Zhong Chuhong's plump thigh twice, indicating that he understood her words.

Mak Ka Wah took a sip of coffee and praised: "Miss Zhong's coffee is very sweet, just like your image on the big screen, very sweet." To tell you the truth, since I watched "The Love of People and Ghosts" starring you and Mr. Chen, I have become your fan. ”

Zhong Chuhong thanked politely: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Chen Ping'an put a sugar cube in the coffee and stirred it gently with a spoon: "I just mentioned yì, how did Mr. Mak Jiahua think about it?" ”

When it came to business, Mak Ka Wah immediately became stern. He frowned and thought for a long time, and asked, "I wonder why Mr. Chen thought of me?" ”

"Because I have a good eye for people."

"Really?"

"I can attest to that." Zhong Chuhong's tone was slightly excited, "My boss's vision is very accurate, whether it is looking at people or things, he has never missed it." In the past few years, he has created a huge industry with his bare hands, shot many classic films, and become popular with many directors and actors, which is the best proof. ”

His man is full of magic, and he has achieved incredible success again and again, which is also a great honor for Zhong Chuhong.

Mak Ka-wah disagreed: "Well, I admit that I like "Ghost Love" very much, and his documentary "City of Myths" is also very good, and it is deserved to win the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature. However, I have limited knowledge of Mr. Chen, and Miss Zhong is talking about Mr. Chen's achievements in the film industry, while we are going to talk about the stock market now. I wonder why Mr. Chan would suddenly think of me as Mr. Chan's personal financial advisor since I had never met. To be honest, I don't have a deep understanding of the Hong Kong stock market. ”

"I study the stock market less." Chen Ping'an smiled, took a sip of coffee and tasted the aftertaste in his mouth, and then continued after a while, "I hope that the funds you help me manage are not limited to Hong Kong, and more of the focus should be on the United States." To be precise, this is a cooperation between you and me, I contribute funds, you contribute brains, and make a lot of money in the global stock market in the second half of the year. ”

"The second half? Why not now? ”

Since the past two years, whether it is Hong Kong or the United States, the stock market can be described as prosperous, and the stock index is soaring. However, Chen Ping'an lacks talents in this area and has no energy to pay attention to the stock market, so a large number of idle funds have been invested in the Hong Kong and Taiwan property market, and the harvest is very rich.

"Because the chances are greater and better in the second half of the year."

"I want to hear about it."

"There is an old Chinese saying that a flower is good for a hundred days, does Mr. Mak understand what I mean?"

"With all due respect, with the current situation, I don't see any signs of what Mr. Chen said."

"Because the time is not up." Chen Ping'an smiled slightly, with an unfathomable expression, "You will naturally see it when the time comes." If you want, before the end of the month, I can transfer 10 million dollars to you to set up a financial investment company in the United States, and you will be solely responsible for it. The equity of this company is half of you and me, and under normal circumstances, I do not intervene in the operation, can you be satisfied with this condition? ”

Giving away five million dollars for nothing, who can refuse such a treatment?

Mai Jiahua didn't expect Chen Ping'an to be so generous, and after being stunned for a moment, he hesitated: "Mr. Chen won't be joking with me, right?" ”

"Of course not. As I said, I will have a large amount of money in the second half of the year that you need to invest for me. If you can say yes, a mere five million dollars, I think it's worth the money. ”

When Mak Ka-wah left, the whole person was still a little foggy. He's just a manager of an investment firm now, and after tonight, he'll be sitting on a $5 million investment firm owner...... The ups and downs of life are too fast, and it is difficult for anyone to accept for a while.

Zhong Chuhong was also puzzled. After Mai Jiahua left, she snuggled in Chen Ping'an's arms: "A'an, you believe him so much? Give him five million dollars for nothing? ”

Chen Ping'an took a sip of coffee, reached Zhong Chuhong's mouth, and licked off the coffee stains on the corner of Zhong Chuhong's mouth: "I can give him five million today because he can bring me greater benefits in the future, more than you can imagine." (To be continued......) R1292
