At the end of the year, Yongsheng Film Company has been established, and has recruited directors such as Wang Jing and Chen Guo, with Cheng Xiaodong as the martial arts instructor and Ye Chengkang's suggestion as the actors, and Yongsheng Company has taken the lead in setting up a subsidiary, whose full name is Yongsheng Entertainment Group Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the production and distribution of local and foreign records, music publishing, artist management, concert planning, stage production, film and television production, multimedia business, merchandising and retailing. Ye Chengkang and Xiang Huaqiang agreed that there is no need to spend a lot of money to poach artists, but to devote themselves to cultivating talented young artists, so as to develop in the long run.

Ye Chengkang dug up Wang Jiawei from Shao Laoliu's TVB as the screenwriter of Yongsheng, Ye Chengkang wrote a brief script of the movie script of "Senior Brother Xinzha", handed it to Wang Jing and Wang Jiawei and made it into a director's script, ready to hand it over to Wang Jing to test the water.

"Senior Brother Xinzha" Zhang Weijie and Ni Feng are graduates of the same police academy, and after graduation, they were sent to different police stations as police detectives. During a special operation, Jie revisited his biological father Zhang Tiemin, whom he hadn't seen for seventeen years. Jie and Feng were also transferred to Team B of the Serious Crime Team led by Zhang Tiemin due to their outstanding performance in the operation, and the latest task is to eradicate the Ba Guan and Ba La brothers who have done all kinds of evil in Mong Kok District. When he was a child, his father left his mother in an accident. Jie was influenced by his mother since he was a child and regarded Zhang Tiemin as an enemy. Jie's cousin Yingzhi has liked Jie since she was a child and regards herself as Jie's girlfriend. But Ni Feng had fallen in love with Yingzhi at first sight many years ago. One night, Feng unexpectedly discovers that his mother's boyfriend Fei Qi was caught by Ba Shu. Feng appeared and rescued Fei Qi. Ba Shu captures Feng's mother and wants to blackmail Feng to meet and join his group. Feng did not agree. The next day, Feng received a candid, edited disc showing him meeting Ba Shu. Later, Ba Shu was arrested, and he threatened Feng with this stealing disc to let him go. At this time, Feng had married Jie's cousin Yingzhi, for the sake of the family, Feng had to obey Ba's words, Feng was suspended, and since then he has embarked on the road of no return, and Jie's finally went to a showdown.

Wang Jing does not have the mature action methods for commercial films in the future, but he has already filmed three movies such as "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", but he is already famous, and he is also a famous screenwriter in TVB, but because his father Wang Tianling has always felt that he can't come out of TVB, so he heard that Yongsheng was recruiting people and recommended himself, which made Ye Chengkang very excited, this is the originator of future gambling films, and he is also a screenwriter, just to make the best use of his talents.

Xu Ke's "The Legend of Shushan" has completed filming and is entering post-production, with several Americans joining the post-production team. Because Brother Niu came back from the United States and brought back a few Americans, who were members of the Light & Magic production team of "Star Wars", they were invited to Hong Kong from the United States by Brother Niu with a high salary, as special effects talents to cultivate the special effects team of Dream Animation Company. Brother Niu stayed in the United States for a total of three months, during which he visited many animation companies, and also learned about the American game market and film market, especially the Light & Magic production team is very respectful, thinking that many movies and TV series will be used in the future, so Brother Niu believes that Hong Kong cannot be left behind, so with the consent of Ye Chengkang, he hired three Americans with a high salary, saying that they would work for three years, each with an annual salary of one million US dollars. However, after watching "The Legend of Shushan", Brother Niu privately told Ye Chengkang that although this film can be regarded as an alternative style of martial arts films, the clues are too chaotic, the plot is too compact, and the details are not enough, so it is estimated that the box office will not be too high. Ye Chengkang just gave Brother Niu a thumbs up, and the estimate was completely correct, and later generations spoke very highly of this film, which is the first sci-fi martial arts film in Hong Kong to hire the "Star Wars" stunt team to support the stunt shots, which has epoch-making significance. The plot is a bit messy due to too many characters and clues, and many places are unclear, but the visual effects of the whole film are outstanding, and the art design and actor modeling are also extraordinary.

Ye Chengkang has made a surprise attack in the past few months, successfully passed the promotion test, and has been officially promoted to senior inspector, which can be called the youngest senior inspector in the police department, but Dai Shubiao is not afraid of being checked by others, because Ye Chengkang wants to have connections and results, and all the promotion tests are full scores, and the Flying Tigers have included him in the reserves, and he can officially become a member of the Flying Tigers after only one month of closed training after Ye Chengkang. The captain of the Flying Tigers is very much looking forward to Ye Chengkang's joining, and has already announced that after Ye Chengkang joins the Flying Tigers, he will retire a year later, and Ye Chengkang will be the captain of the Flying Tigers. Ye Chengkang accepted the challenge from several good players of the Flying Tigers, and Ye Chengkang was not willing to show all his strength, but he still picked out these challengers one by one.

Lin Qingxia's "The Wrong Car" received a total of 40 million Taiwan dollars in Taiwan, ranking first at the box office this year, and also won more than 9 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong, ranking in the former position of Hong Kong films that year, and let Lin Qingxia win this year's Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, which is the first trophy of her acting career, "The Wrong Car" has won the most nominations at this year's Golden Horse Awards, namely Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Film Original Music, Best Original Song, Best Sound Recording, Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Original Screenplay, Best Art Design, Best Costume Design, among which the winners are Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Film Original Music, Best Original Song, Best Sound Recording, among which the Best Film Original Music and Best Original Song nominations are Kang Shao, Ye Chengkang did not go to accept the award, entrusted Xu Ke to help him receive the award, and he read out the acceptance speech he wrote:" Due to the limitations of time and space, there are many landscapes that we cannot experience in person, many roads that we cannot walk one by one, many people that we cannot meet and know, and many emotions that we cannot experience in detail. However, when you lose, you will know that what you can hold in your hands is the most cherished. If there is no life in this world, how lifeless it will be! It is life that gives this vast world a color, a sound, and a soul! Life is a material existence, and it is also a spiritual existence. There are joys and sorrows in life, there are plain and passionate, gloomy and magnificent. Some lives flash like meteors, and some shine like the sun and the moon. Life is not a static existence, but a slow and uninterrupted process, flowing quietly in the long river of years, let us be enthusiastic singers, singing the sound of life! I hope that everyone can experience my cherishing of life and grasping things in the moment through my movies and songs, thank you. ”

Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang's albums have come out, both of which are double platinum results, which makes them all ecstatic, and they and Liu Peiji come together to thank Ye Chengkang, but Ye Chengkang pulls them to drink together to celebrate their success, and promises that as long as they are in need, he will write songs for them.
