In the end, everyone was selected and Huang Baiming from Baiming Film was the first president.

Because Huang Baiming is a good-looking man in the Hong Kong film industry, he is kind-hearted, likes socializing, and is humble, everyone likes him very much.

In addition, Wu Siyuan was the vice president. He was also a strange person in the Hong Kong film industry. He was born in Shaw Brothers. He then changed jobs to help Hang Seng film. Several of the films were very popular ones in succession. He established his own business to establish Siyuan Film. He made all famous by Xu Ke, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Zhou Xingchi, etc.

At the same time, eight directors were selected, including four major court merchants, and one quota, and the remaining four quotas were divided by other companies. In the end, these ten people formed the prototype of the committee and named it - Hong Kong Film Association.

Xia Tian felt relieved when the Hong Kong Film Association was established.

The reason he promoted the establishment of this association was to resolve the crisis of Hong Kong films and allow it to escape the fate of collapse.

As we all know, the reason why Hong Kong movies collapsed is that in addition to the changes in the external environment and the box office markets such as Nanyang, South Korea, and Taiwan have also suffered very serious problems.

For example, hot money is rampant, excessive sales of films are spreading, and bad movies are flooding, seriously damaging the quality of Hong Kong films and destroying the reputation of Hong Kong films; for example, gangs are rampant, causing a group of talented filmmakers to withdraw from the Hong Kong film industry.

It was precisely because Xia Tian knew these disadvantages that he proposed to establish an association to restrict the Hong Kong film industry, and not repeat the same mistakes and follow the old path of his previous life.

Now, Xia Tian feels very happy to see the successful establishment of the association and everyone supports it.

It was so easy to travel through time, but Xia Tian didn’t want to just make money and pick up girls. He also wanted to do something meaningful. Now he felt that this matter was very meaningful.

...

The first thing after the establishment of the Hong Kong Film Association was to urge the Hong Kong government to promulgate the "Movie Censorship Ordinance" as soon as possible.

To this end, the association not only submitted a petition signed by more than 50 film companies in Hong Kong and more than 50,000 filmmakers, but also advertised it in newspapers, calling on citizens to support the formulation of the "Movie Censorship Ordinance".

In addition, film critics, jurists, celebrities and others from all walks of life have also spoken in newspapers, calling on the Hong Kong government to promulgate the "Movie Censorship Ordinance" as soon as possible.

The Hong Kong government has also been under great pressure to create public opinion so much that it is forced to come out and announce that it will speed up the formulation of the "Movie Censorship Ordinance".

However, the Hong Kong Film Association did not accept this ambiguous statement and asked for a deadline. At the same time, it hoped that when the Hong Kong government formulated regulations, it would seek more opinions from filmmakers. Don’t work behind closed doors.

After another game, the Hong Kong government had to stand up again and promised to launch the "Movie Censorship Ordinance" before the end of July, and at the same time was willing to communicate more with Hong Kong filmmakers and listen to industry opinions.

After this promise was expressed, the Hong Kong film industry was filled with joy and all the filmmakers cheered because this was one of the few victories achieved by Hong Kong filmmakers.

Hong Kong was ruled by British colonial rule, so it has a low status. Although Hong Kong movies are prosperous, the Hong Kong government has never supported them. Instead, it puts heavy taxes on Hong Kong movies, which is very domineering.

For example, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and other places have taken restrictive measures on Hong Kong films, and the Hong Kong government has never supported filmmakers and fought for rights. Moreover, Hong Kong filmmakers have to apply for filming on the street, but the Hong Kong government has never supported them. Therefore, many street scenes in Hong Kong are secretly filmed by directors and actors...

It is precisely because it collects money but does not do anything, Hong Kong filmmakers have complained about the Hong Kong government. If they hadn't been able to fight it, they would have turned against it. This time, everyone worked together and finally won it for a while. Now the Film Association, which was originally supported by everyone, became more popular. Therefore, before the "Film Review Ordinance" was released, the Film Association officially changed from temporary to a permanent organization and officially registered with the Hong Kong government.

After the Hong Kong Film Association was officially registered, it also established its subsidiary organization - the Hong Kong Film Promotion and Development Foundation.

More than 50 members of the Film Association jointly raised 223 million Hong Kong dollars to fund the development of Hong Kong films. Among them, the four major theater companies each paid 25 million Hong Kong dollars, while other small and medium-sized film companies raised a total of 123 million Hong Kong dollars. The money was handed over to HSBC's Hudoli Investment Company.

...

Time is back.

"Midnight Bell" was previewed at midnight and has a first-class reputation. Not only are the critics highly praised it, but even the fans have mixed love and hate for this movie. I love this movie so much, but I hate it a bit scary. After watching it, I don't dare to turn on the TV in the middle of the night, for fear that Sadako crawled out of it.

Under such circumstances, "Midnight Bell" was immediately popular as soon as it was officially released. The box office rose rapidly, and the box office on the first day exceeded 3 million.

April is the off-season for the movie, and there were no blockbusters released, so the drama "Midnight Bell" is really the only one, the first day's box office champion, the first week's box office champion, the second week's box office champion... The box office has been rising rapidly, and it has only slowed down until the third week. The accumulated box office has reached 27 million Hong Kong dollars, breaking through the 30 million Hong Kong dollars mark in minutes.

One week after "Midnight Bell" was released, "Midnight Bell" invested by New Art City and directed by Yu Yunzhang was also held for a midnight trial.

The name of this drama is only one word different from the Xia Tian's "Midnight Bell". The theme is also a horror film, and it also tells the story of female ghosts' revenge, and the meaning of following the trend is quite obvious.

Originally, "Midnight Bell" was so popular, even if the quality of "Midnight Bell" is average, it can still achieve a good box office with this east wind.

But to everyone's surprise, this "Midnight Fierce Spirit" was criticized in the midnight trial, thinking that it was not scary at all, and it was just a bad movie.

After the official release, the box office was even more lifeless and did not improve at all. In the end, he only won more than three million Hong Kong dollars in box office, and he could not even recover the capital. Mai Jia, who had high hopes for this, was disappointed and took his anger on Yu Yun's shoulder, and he was unemployed again because of this.

In fact, Xia Tian secretly watched "Midnight Fierce Spirit" when it was released. To be honest, this drama is not ugly. On Douban, which was later, the rating was at least six points.

It tells the story of a girl who got off work late at night was raped and killed by several hooligans, and then threw her into the sewer to destroy the body. But in the following days, these hooligans hit ghosts every day, and a terrifying female ghost asked for their death, scaring them all day long. In the end, these hooligans were killed one after another, ending their sinful lives.

The ending of the story is that the girl was not dead at all, but her appearance was ruined and became ugly like a ghost. She found out the identities of the gangsters, then set up a suspicion array, killed them one by one, and revenge herself.

Yu Yun was very attentive to exaggerate the horror atmosphere, especially the plot of the hooligans being killed, which was even more shocking and horrifying, which was comparable to his previous filming of "Mountain Dog". Therefore, this film was originally pretty good, and the box office and reputation should not be so low. If you want to blame it, it will choose the wrong schedule and must be released at the same time as "Midnight Bell".

As the saying goes, people will die, and goods will be thrown away. "Midnight Fierce Spirit" was originally good, but it was a bit short of "Midnight Fierce Bell". Without comparison, there would be no harm. "Midnight Fierce Bell" naturally attracted bad reviews, and the box office and reputation are too far behind "Midnight Fierce Bell".

"Oh, I wanted to borrow the east wind, but I was mistaken by the east wind." Xia Tian shook his head and said, disagreed with Mai Jia's approach.

...

During the release of "Midnight Bell", the special effects production team responsible for "A Chinese Ghost Story" also rushed from the United States to Hong Kong.

Xia Tian personally met and shook hands cordially with the person in charge James Wayne, "Welcome, welcome!" he said with a smile.

James Wien is a first-class special effects expert in Industrial Light and Magic Special Effects Company. He was once responsible for producing special effects for one, two or three parts of "Star Wars", and has rich experience.

James looked at Xia Tian, ​​but he pulled out his hand with a arrogant look. Whose identity is, no one can shake hands!!

"This Mr. Xia is an investor in our movie." Xu Ke introduced with a laugh.

"What?!" James looked at Xia Tian in surprise, really unbelievable.

Such a young person, at most he is in his teens, looks like an ungraded student, but he is actually an investor in the movie?! What a joke!!

"You are kidding me, are you?" he said with an incredible look on his face.

"Of course not, he is indeed an investor in the movie." Xu Ke nodded laughingly. He felt very happy when he saw James Wayne's surprised look.

Because white people, especially Hollywood people, have always regarded themselves very well and thought they were at the peak of the world's film industry, so they looked down on anyone except Hollywood. Although Hong Kong is called Oriental Hollywood, in their opinion, there is nothing extraordinary.

In 1982, he filmed "The Legend of the Swordsman in Shushan", and the special effects artist was James Wayne. At that time, he mocked Hong Kong movies very much. This one didn't work, that one didn't work, which made Xu Ke feel angry.

Now that Xu Ke felt very happy when he saw him being defeated in front of Xia Tian.

"Really?!" James confirmed again.

"Of course. Mr. Xia Tian has a net worth of more than US$500 million and is a well-known wealthy man in Hong Kong." Xu Ke said with a smile again.

"What?!" James' eyes were almost glaring out.

Such a young child is actually a rich man with a net worth of more than 500 million US dollars? What an international joke!!

"This is true." Xu Ke laughed. Seeing James panicked by Xia Tian's blow, he couldn't help laughing, "And Mr. Xia Tian made so much money within a year last year!!"

"..." James Wien turned his head, "Xu, please stop joking, this is ridiculous."
