The mainland film delegation went south, and the news soon spread in the Hong Kong film circle.

"The mainland film delegation went south to inspect the Hong Kong film industry, and Lin Xiaozhi attached great importance to this and personally arranged for the reception" - "Ming Pao" was the first to report this news, which greatly increased the attention of the southbound film delegation in Hong Kong for a while.

Oriental Daily: "...... It can be seen that Lin Xiaozhi, who took the lead in going north in March this year and has vigorously attacked the pro-communist faction, has successfully established friendship with the mainland's high-level leaders who are eager for friends but lack friends, and in particular, his act of boldly donating huge amounts of materials to the mainland some time ago on the pretext of the floods in East China has made Beijing firm in the necessity of wooing him. Therefore, there will be a scene of this high-level mainland film delegation going south.

Next Magazine, which is closer to Taiwan than Oriental Daily, put it more bluntly: "Media Asia has hosted a banquet to entertain a film delegation from the mainland to the south, and Beijing may have seen the influence of its boss Lin Hsiao-chi in Hong Kong, and wants to win over Hong Kong's newly rising super-rich through further cooperation." According to people familiar with the matter, when Lin Xiaozhi went north a few months ago, he signed a film exchange and cooperation agreement with the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television on behalf of Media Asia.

Lai Zhiying, the owner of Next Magazine, smuggled to Hong Kong from the mainland in 198l and founded the Giordano fashion chain in 198l, becoming a Hong Kong clothing tycoon. When the storm blew the year before last, he was deeply involved in the situation and gained political prestige with his clear-cut anti-mainland style, and not only won the friendship and goodwill of many politicians in Hong Kong and Britain who opposed the return to the motherland, but also successively accepted the reception of Li Huihui of the Taiwan authorities and the speaker of the British House of Commons, which made him realize that clothing was not the most suitable industry for him, and the media that could control and sway public opinion was the most suitable career for him

Sure enough, since he entered the industry in March last year and started "Next Magazine", it only took a year and a half for Lai Zhiying to bring this new newspaper into the ranks of the top five newspapers and periodicals in Hong Kong in terms of circulation, relying on a large number of gossip news in the entertainment industry and gimmicky false reports obtained by unscrupulous means, "Next Magazine" has successfully snatched a large number of readers from the hands of "Oriental Daily", and now it has shown the momentum of replacing "Oriental Daily" as the entertainment newspaper that Hong Kong citizens like to read the most.

I have to say that Next Magazine's analysis does have some truth. At least Sing Tao Daily, another major newspaper in Hong Kong, also has the same view on this: "No one can underestimate the rise of Lin Xiaozhi and the Lin family, a new super giant." He not only owns a leading enterprise in the Hong Kong film industry such as Media Asia, but also owns many family properties such as Cheng Pao Newspaper Group and Kowloon Bank, and a few months ago he took a stake in ATV and became a major shareholder of ATV. ATV President Lin Jianming is his own uncle, it is reported that Lin Jianming is recently fighting with his younger brother Lin Jianle for control of the Lai Sun Group, and has already had the intention of selling ATV, so in the future, Lin Xiaozhi will not be lacking in the possibility of becoming the owner of ATV and successfully controlling the Hong Kong TV media overlord. And once the mainland completely pulls this new giant with a position close to Beijing into the camp close to Beijing, it means that there is one more heavyweight ally who can easily influence public opinion in Hong Kong. This is undoubtedly a great convenience for Beijing to control Hong Kong. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that the mainland film delegation will go south this time, or reach some shocking cooperation intentions with Lin Xiaozhi and Media Asia. ”

has successively obtained several reports from major newspapers and magazines with a large number of readers in Hong Kong, but Lin Xiaozhi and the mainland film delegation want to cover up, and it is no longer difficult to hide his whereabouts. What's more, the two, especially the latter, have no such intention at all, on the contrary, with the increase in attention, the mainland film delegation has changed its low-key attitude from the first few days of its arrival in Hong Kong, and has begun to show itself in a high-profile manner, frequently visiting the Hong Kong film industry or accepting media interviews.

“… The Hong Kong film industry is undoubtedly a miracle in the Chinese film industry, which has given birth to many successful film companies such as Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Yindu, New Art City, Debao, and Media Asia, and has also left one classic film after another in the history of the world's film industry. Compared with Hong Kong, there are undoubtedly some problems in our mainland films, and the shortcomings are also obvious, so we hope to learn some advanced experience from Hong Kong and make up for our shortcomings."

As the head of the delegation, it is difficult for Xie Tieli to avoid the attention of the media, but he himself is an old man, and even if he is directly asked some hidden questions by a reporter from the "Oriental Daily" who is close to Taiwan, he can calmly and easily accept the invitation in an official tone. He picked and answered questions about mainland films, and pretended to be deaf and dumb when asked about certain issues about politics, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

Han Sanping was also asked some questions, but this man who looks like an honest man in the countryside is also very handy in dealing with the difficulties of the Hong Kong media," ...... The mainland is an open market, and Deng Gong and many revolutionaries of the older generation have realized the harm of closing the country to a country, so after 78 years of reform and opening up, there is now a mainland that is gradually becoming rich. The mainland welcomes some friendly investment, and we also welcome friends at Beijing Film Studio, looking forward to more cooperation and exchanges. ”

On the contrary, Lu Li, the general manager of Beiying Group, who seemed to be taciturn, was unexpectedly not used to being surrounded by a bunch of Hong Kong media, and even leaked some news during the interview, "...... The establishment of Beijing Film Group was made possible by the proposal of Mr. Lin Xiaozhi, who is a very talented and thoughtful person...... Yes, we at Beiying Group are looking forward to the cooperation with Media Asia Group...... "Farewell My Concubine", which we cooperated with before, has basically completed filming at present, and it is conservatively estimated that it will be fully released in the mainland by the end of the year at the latest...... As for when the mainland will open up Hong Kong films, I can't say for sure. Because there are too many things that need to be considered comprehensively, there are many films that distort and smear our mainland in Hong Kong, and the practice of some Hong Kong filmmakers has undoubtedly added a lot of difficulties to the cooperation between the two places, but our mainland welcomes friends, and this time we have brought some intention to cooperate with us......

The last time the mainland sent a film delegation south was in the RU year, but that time was just the Shanghai Film Bureau's own opinion, and it was probably only the time when the mainland sent people to support the scene in early 1984, shortly after the establishment of Yindu. From the 70s to the present, although the mainland has successively sent three or four groups of filmmakers to Hong Kong to study, cooperation and exchanges have been interrupted several times due to the arrogance and contempt of the Hong Kong film industry. In particular, some media fanned the wind behind them, and from time to time they speculated that Media Asia might establish deeper cooperation with the mainland, and even release news such as the full opening of the mainland market to Media Asia.

All of a sudden, there were countless invitations to banquets and visits, and the mainland film delegation was also busy.

"Resident Evil" got a first-class rating, which made Lin Xiaozhi breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he also had a good impression of the relaxation of the Hong Kong film rating system.

How to say, in order to strive to bring a more exciting sensory experience to the audience, his film, which was shot by Media Asia Investment himself, can pay more attention to the attraction of the scene to the audience than the original, which has led to many scenes being shot more thrilling, almost a bloody and violent edge ball, and the electric inspection department may give it a '∏, rating if it is a little stricter.

And if it is really broken into the tertiary film, the impact on the movie will undoubtedly be huge. Banning movies under the age of 18 is equivalent to cutting off three to four percent of potential viewers. It is important to know that this kind of commercial blockbuster is much more attractive to teenagers between the ages of 12 and 18 than office workers over the age of 30.

After passing the level of the electrical inspection office, "Resident Evil" can be regarded as a positive result, and all preparations before the release have been completed.

"Resident Evil", which has been on file for filming since the end of last year, has finally come to the door of release after more than a year, and the last wave of publicity is ready to go, and the release is imminent.
