In the blink of an eye, 1990 has passed, and the 80s are a thing of the past. In the 90s, Hong Kong people felt more and more that the day of return was getting closer and closer, and the topic of Hong Kong's return to the motherland once again aroused heated discussions, and more and more Hong Kong middle class chose to immigrate to Britain, the United States and Canada.

In the final analysis, what political demands or foreign media distort propaganda are only secondary factors. The reason why the vast majority of Hong Kong people are afraid of the return is because the mainland is too poor. When the rich daughter returns to her poor mother's house, it is psychologically difficult to overcome that hurdle, and she is even more afraid that her mother's family will swallow up her gold and silver jewelry and private money.

Jin Yong was disheartened about politics because of the incident that happened in the mainland last year, and announced that he would no longer be involved in politics, and at the same time, he would no longer interfere in the daily management of the Ming Pao Group, revealing the intention of selling "Ming Pao".

As soon as this news came out, many newspaper bosses stared at that piece of fat, and the sales of "Ming Pao" were the first in Hong Kong.

A number of newspapers and magazines purchased by Kang Jianfei have also been integrated by this time, and they have been combined with the original "Painting King" pictorial, "Phoenix TV Weekly" and other publications to form Oriental Media Group.

Oriental Media is a subsidiary of Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group, which is mainly engaged in paper media. Companies such as Phoenix TV, DreamWorks, and Dark Horse Comics can provide content and news resources for Oriental Media's publications, and these publications can also be publicized and promoted by major companies.

Oriental Media Group will soon set up its own publishing house, modeled after the model of Kadokawa Bookstore in Japan, and in the future, the literary and comic works of the publishing house can be transformed into films, TV dramas, and cartoons. The same. Best-selling movies, TV series, and animations can also be adapted into novels and comics to maximize profits.

……

In the past 1989 Christmas stalls. Gao Zhisen, who opened his own company with the support of Xinbao, was unlucky, and he personally served as the director and screenwriter, and invited Alan Tam and Wen Bixia as the protagonists of "Cheating Man and Woman", with the fame of the two protagonists, the box office can only exceed 10 million.

The movie screened by DreamWorks at Christmas is "Royal Sister 4" starring Yang Liqing. "Royal Senior Sister" is a classic series of DreamWorks movies created by Kang Jianfei back then, and it has also triggered a boom in police and sister films. After filming 3 films in a row, the box office declined, so it was shelved and did not continue to be filmed.

DreamWorks restarted the filming plan of "Royal Sister", and when the news first came out, it also caused heated discussions. At the beginning, the audience felt a little tired of watching 3 movies in a row. Now after a few years, I miss it very much, and I have high expectations for the unreleased "Royal Sister 4".

As for the heroine being replaced by Lin Qingxia to Yang Liqing, it is also a topic of discussion among countless old fans, the so-called nostalgia. Most people tend to use the original actors. Although Yang Liqing was eye-catching in the previous "Overlord Flower". has also won the love of many audiences, but she is still too far behind Lin Qingxia.

So Yang Liqing was inexplicably lying down, and many fans who hoped for Lin Qingxia's comeback expressed strong hostility towards Yang Liqing, who starred in "Royal Sister 4". The gossip media also ran out to join in the fun at this time, wanting to take advantage of this wind to sell tabloids, saying that Yang Liqing became the heroine by sleeping with the director.

Don't complain that everyone believes in gossip news, but the competition in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is fierce today, and Yang Liqing's speed is too fast. From a small Taiwanese actor. ran to Hong Kong and played the second female lead in "Overlord Flower", and then played the heroine in "Royal Sister 4". Fools don't believe there's no cathole in it.

The director of "Royal Sister 4" is Zhong Zhiwen, because of the scandal caused by this incident, he also quarreled with his wife, and finally even got into a divorce.

Yang Liqing had to stand up and make a statement, she was discovered by Kang Jianfei in Taiwan, and starring in "Overlord Flower" and "Royal Senior Sister 4" is also Kang Jianfei's meaning.

Okay, Zhong Zhiwen finally cleared his suspicion, and Kang Jianfei fell into the scandal again, but this time the heroine of the scandal changed again. However, Kang Jianfei was filming in the mainland at that time, and it was his fault that there was a lot of trouble in Hong Kong, anyway, out of sight.

Until "Royal Sister 4" was released at Christmas, there were still some old viewers who refused to watch this movie because Lin Qingxia failed to continue to be the heroine.

And those viewers who walked into the theater to watch "Royal Sister 4" were very satisfied with this movie, and they found that Lin Qingxia and Yang Liqing were not playing the same role. In "Royal Sister 4", the policewoman played by Lin Qingxia has been transferred to the United Kingdom to work, and Yang Liqing plays just a new tender who has just joined the police force.

Both the screenwriter and director are of first-class level, and Yang Liqing's figure and face, as well as her fists and feet, are also very good. After the film was screened, the box office and word-of-mouth were excellent, and the old audience who originally refused to watch the film because there was no Lin Qingxia couldn't resist the temptation to re-enter the cinema.

It's a pity that the schedule of "Royal Sister 4" collided with Cheng Long's "Miracle".

"Miracle" was claimed to be a kung fu blockbuster costing 70 million when it was promoted, but in fact, with the publicity costs, this figure is not exaggerated at all. The actors who have a little line or two in the film are all stars, at least they are familiar old actors, and the salaries of those actors alone are a lot of money.

The Christmas stalls are gradually passing, and the time enters 1990.

After New Year's Day, New Year's films in major theaters were released successively, and "Royal Sister 4" and "Miracle" are the only two remaining Christmas movies.

In mid-January, "Royal Sister 4" was finally released, and the box office in Hong Kong was 21.88 million. If it weren't for Cheng Long's "Miracle", the box office of "Royal Sister 4" would have been more. This is an extremely rare achievement, because the "Royal Sister" series is the theme of the heroine, and it is very important to rely on the heroine to support the scene, and Yang Liqing is just a newcomer who has only made two movies, and she does not have the strong aura of Lin Qingxia.

Cheng Long's "Miracle" continued to be in the limelight, and it was not painted until the end of January, and the local box office was 35.09 million Hong Kong dollars.

Zou Wenhuai is naturally very happy, Hong Kong is the touchstone of the box office in Southeast Asia, with the box office table of "Miracle" in Hong Kong, the huge budget of 70 million yuan of this film can be completely recovered in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong and Taiwan markets, and the rest of the income in other regions is considered pure earning.

At the same time, Zou Wenhuai has another happy thing, the Hollywood blockbuster "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" that he participated in the investment has been completed. And after the test screening, the response was good, and the distributor in North America has reached an agreement with the theater chain to release the film in the spring of 1990.

In the films released in the New Year's file, there was also a funny situation of Hong Jinbao beating himself. Hong Jinbao, who has been unlucky in the past two years, suddenly became popular in the New Year, and the four New Year's films released by Golden Princess, Xinbao, Dongfang and Golden Harvest Cinemas, the male protagonists were all played by Hong Jinbao.

Princess Jin is showing "The Rich Corps" directed by Zheng Zeshi, the producer is a new company co-founded by Zeng Zhiwei and Zheng Zeshi, and gold medal screenwriter Huang Bingyao was specially brought in to write the script; After the completion of Cheng Long's "Miracle", Golden Harvest Cinema released "Children of Troubled Times" directed by Teddy Robin and starring Hong Jinbao; Xinbao's side is "Fuxing Weilong", which is directed and acted by Hong Jinbao and produced by Baoxiang Pictures.

As for DreamWorks, "Seven Little Blessings" written and directed by Luo Qirui and Zhang Wanting was released, which is a rare cross-company cooperation film by DreamWorks in recent years.

For a period of time from New Year's Day to the Spring Festival, the main movie released by the four major theaters in Hong Kong was actually the same actor, which surprised the theater companies that scheduled the film.

The audience felt even more funny, and wherever they went, the ticket seller recommended movies starring Hong Jinbao.

The media was even more surprised, saying that this year's New Year's file belonged to Hong Jinbao. Some second- and third-tier celebrities who don't know the truth really think that Hong Jinbao's four cinema lines are all-inclusive, and for a while, Hong Jinbao's status in the rivers and lakes is unprecedentedly high.

I have to say that He Guanchang of Golden Harvest is shrewd, and after Hong Jinbao cooperated with Xinbao, the relationship with Golden Harvest went farther and farther. But He Guanchang actually began to praise Gao Lihong, and asked Gao Lihong to blow the pillow wind to Hong Jinbao, and the cooperation between Hong Jinbao and Jiahe became intimate again.

By the way, Hong Jinbao's legal wife at this time is a Korean, and Gao Lihong is in an extramarital relationship with him, and what is declared to the public is a master-apprentice relationship.

Because Hong Jinbao takes care of his reputation and family, he doesn't dare to praise Gao Lihong too much. Now He Guanchang has made a move to win Gao Lihong, which just helped him solve his worries, and Hong Jinbao naturally wants to repay the favor.

And Kang Jianfei saw Hong Jinbao starring in 4 New Year's films at the same time, and he could only sigh: Brother Bao is also quite hardworking, I am afraid he has slept on the set for half a year.

As the Spring Festival gets closer and closer, the post-production special effects of "Tomb Robbery Notes" are also nearing the end. Because he was afraid that he would run out of time, Kang Jianfei had no choice but to take some of the unfinished special effects samples to be submitted for review, although there were many violent scenes in it, but it was still rated as a "second-level film" by the review team. It can only be said that the review at this time is very broad, and twenty years later, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" definitely belongs to "Level 3" or "Level 2B". You must know that even Xingye's children's film "Yangtze River No. 7" was judged in Hong Kong as "2A-level" for children.

Although the special effects have not been completed, the promotion of "Tomb Robbery Notes" has already begun, and three rounds of publicity offensives have been carried out since the start of production.

Kang Jianfei's reason is that it has already cost so much money to make a movie anyway, what's wrong with spending some more money on advertising?

Although the Hong Kong film market is small, it has an exemplary effect on the box office in Southeast Asia, and when the distribution company negotiates a sharing agreement with the local cinema chain, it has to refer to the Hong Kong box office of the film for a large extent.

With advertisements flying all over the sky, the much-anticipated "Tomb Robbery Notes" finally ushered in its premiere, and after the premiere, it was the last wave of publicity before the official release of the film. (To be continued......)
