Entering 1996, Hong Kong movies were actually in decline.
Because of the Hollywood movies at that time, computer special effects technology had already taken shape.
Films such as "Terminator 2", "Jurassic Park", "Independence Day", "The Man in Disguise", "Batman Returns" and so on require special effects and scenes.
Compared with them, Hong Kong films are simply produced by grass-roots teams, so they are increasingly incomparable with Hollywood films.
Coupled with the fact that Taiwan has lifted its ban on foreign language films, Hong Kong films have lost their largest foreign market.
Prior to this, Baodao only allowed the introduction of a small number of foreign language films, but there were no restrictions on Hong Kong films. Therefore, Hong Kong films monopolized the Baodao film market and made a lot of money.
But now that the restrictions have been lifted, Hong Kong films are forced to compete head-on with Hollywood films. Naturally, they cannot compete with each other, and their market share has been greatly reduced.
However, Xiang Nan is familiar with the development of Hong Kong films and can still make money by investing in a few blockbuster films.
If you can pick up a few more female celebrities, your trip to Hong Kong will not be in vain.
"Mr. Chen is willing to support our film industry, of course we welcome him with raised hands." Wang Jing said with a smile.
In recent years, due to the decline of the film industry, life for Hong Kong filmmakers has naturally not been so easy.
From the late 1990s to the beginning of the new century, due to the shrinking industry, hundreds of thousands of filmmakers were unemployed and might not be able to receive a film a year.
At this time, it is a good thing that there are still people willing to invest in movies. As for Xiang Nan's status as a fitter, it actually doesn't matter to Wang Jing.
Because it is not uncommon for a society to get involved in the film industry. Not to mention investing in making movies, even if they start their own companies, there are many who star in them.
For example, Liangkun, although his Qiankun Pictures shoots all R-rated films, R-rated films are also an indispensable part of the film industry.
"Okay, it's settled then." Xiang Nan nodded, then signed the contract and handed over the money.
Wang Jing didn't expect Xiang Nan to be so straightforward, which surprised him.
…
For a period of time after that, apart from managing the company, Xiang Nan usually went shopping with Little Stutter and played ball with Jiang Tiansheng, Big Brother B and others.
In addition, you can participate in some charity activities, high-class dances, business dinners, etc. to expand your social circle and strive to clear your name. Being a short mule had no choice before, but now he wants to be a good person.
And Xiang Nan knows that the power of the association may seem strong, but it is actually fragile. One anti-gang leader can cause headaches for the entire society.
In "Hong Hing Thirteen Sisters", James, the Mong Kok police officer in charge of anti-pornography, only scans Hung Hing's premises every two days, but he has already made Hong Hing's blood boil.
Therefore, Xiang Nan knew that it was impossible to go far as a short mule. Even if they reach the position of Jiang Tiansheng and Jiang Tianyang, they may overturn at some point.
Just like what Lei Gong said in "The Dragon Crossing the River", people think you are a chamber pot. You take it out when it is convenient, but you feel dirty after using it. Therefore, it is necessary to cleanse oneself, and one must even be prepared to immigrate.
Anyway, as long as you have money, you will be a master everywhere.
…
"Mr. Jiang, good shot~" Xiang Nan praised with a smile.
On the weekend, he accompanied Jiang Tiansheng to play on the green.
"Anan, you played the shot just now very well." Jiang Tiansheng praised, "You hit the green on the first shot, but it's a pity that the shot was crooked at the back."
"Mr. Jiang, we still need to learn from you." Boss B smiled.
Xiang Nan also smiled.
In fact, with his hidden weapon skills, it is not unusual to score a hole in one while playing golf.
However, as the younger brother, you still have to give way to the older brother, and you cannot let Jiang Tiansheng and Big Brother B lose too miserably.
"By the way, let me tell you the news. The camels will be back from the Netherlands in two days." Jiang Tiansheng said to Xiang Nan and Boss B.
"Camel?! This old guy isn't dead yet?" Boss B asked in surprise.
Camel is the leader of Dongxing. He ran away to the Netherlands three years ago.
The reason why he went to the Netherlands was mainly because he was targeted by the police for drugs in the past two years.
Fortunately, after two years of dealing with lawyers, my younger brother took the blame. The case has now been closed and the camel has been able to return from the Netherlands.
"Not only did he not die, he also brought back two people - the crow and the smiling tiger." Jiang Tiansheng explained.
"Mr. Jiang, these two people are known as the Two Tigers of the East Star, but they are both troublesome people." Boss B's expression changed when he heard this.
The crow is ferocious and cruel, arrogant and domineering; the smiling tiger has a knife hidden in his smile, which is extremely sinister. These two people caused a lot of trouble for Hong Xing back then, and later ran away with Luo Tuo to the Netherlands.
If they come back now, I'm afraid there will be another turmoil in the world.
"I know, but my idea is that peace is the most important thing." Jiang Tiansheng nodded, "It's almost September 7th, and we are already being targeted, so we must be careful when doing things. We can't fight and kill like before. , lawless. As long as the camel does not take the initiative to provoke, we should not make any big moves."
Xiang Nan and Big Brother B both nodded when they heard this.
…
However, unlike Jiang Tiansheng's idea of "peace is the most important", Xiang Nan still thinks that we should actively prepare for war.
Because he knows too well the dangers of crows and smiling tigers.
They are the only characters in the six films who have killed two dragon heads, and their record can be said to be invincible. Moreover, Little Stutter also died tragically at their hands, and he and Xiang Nan could be said to be at odds with each other.
They are so cruel and violent, and if we blindly indulge them, they are likely to become more and more arrogant, and eventually commit numerous murders again.
So Xiang Nan recruited Pheasant, Chao Pi, Bao Pi, Sha Qiang, Da Tian Er and others.
"Have you heard that the Eastern Star Dragon Head Camel is coming back?" Xiang Nan looked at several people and asked.
"Come back as soon as you come back. What does it have to do with us?" Bao Pi asked in confusion.
"That's not true. But, Brother Nan, this is something Mr. Jiang should worry about. It has nothing to do with us, right?" Bao Pi and Da Tian Er said indifferently.
"Brother Nan, are you worried that he will send people to take back Sandhopper's place?" Pheasant asked.
Xiang Nan nodded.
Although Pheasant is a lustful person, he is actually the best among all the brothers in terms of ability. In comparison, Bao Pi and Da Tian Er are worse.
"Pheasant is right. Yau Ma Tei is now dominated by Hongxing. If I were a camel, I would not be willing to give up this piece of fat. I would definitely send someone to snatch it." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "So you should all be more careful. Keep an eye on them and don’t let them cause damage.”
East Star was established later than Hung Hing. By the time Hong Hing had occupied downtown areas such as Mong Kok, Sai Wan, Tsuen Wan, Kwai Tsing, Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, and Causeway Bay, East Star could only hang out in rural areas such as Tuen Mun, Sai Kung, and Yuen Long. Eat.
Therefore, Dongxing has always wanted to enter the downtown area. Yau Ma Tei was originally a territory that it had easily conquered, but now it has been wiped out by Xiang Nan. Dongxing will definitely not be satisfied.
Pheasant, Bao Pi, Chao Pi, Da Tianer and others all nodded.
