We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Culture and sports have been inseparable since ancient times. Since it is a city of culture and entertainment, how can we have sports without entertainment?

This year, Hong Kong Island's entertainment culture has not shown any signs of decline. Instead, it has blossomed with unprecedented vitality and prosperity, continuing to lead the trend and demonstrating infinite energy and creativity.

ATV's opening drama of the year, an epic masterpiece, has become popular in the Chinese community and Confucian cultural circle around the world.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is known as the pinnacle of cross-strait co-productions.

The cooperation between ATV and CCTV has become increasingly in-depth and they have become strategic partners. The two sides have even achieved sharing of a lot of project information.

From the moment CCTV was preparing to launch the project of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, ATV actively inquired about the possibility of co-production.

When CCTV heard the news, it was also very interested in this, because ATV's global influence is beyond the reach of CCTV today. With ATV's help, the scope of this drama will definitely be greatly expanded.

Another issue is funding. The investment plan for Romance of the Three Kingdoms exceeds 1.5 million RMB, which is a considerable burden for the central bank and must be treated with caution.

Now with ATV’s cost sharing, the pressure will be much less.

However, what the central bank never expected was that the joining of ATV not only failed to share the costs, but instead increased the final expenditure.

Historically, the production cost of this masterpiece was 1.7 million RMB, but now with the participation of ATV, the investment has reached 3.1 million RMB.

The bulk of the expense came from extras, with more than 50 people employed, which is equivalent to the manpower of an entire division.

Especially the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi, the former involved the forces of two armies, and the latter burned more than a hundred large wooden ships.

The money was spent, and the results were so remarkable that people could not help but admire it. The magnificent picture presented was beyond imagination and breathtaking.

Once this blockbuster was aired at the beginning of the year, it quickly attracted audiences throughout Southeast Asia.

Especially in the island countries, the video products of Romance of the Three Kingdoms sold 8 million copies in the island countries in one month, and the number is still increasing.

In addition to TV dramas, Hong Kong Island is still full of stars in the field of music.

Hong Kong entertainment began to enter the era of the Four Heavenly Kings. Andy Lau performed the most famous song of his career, Forget Love Water, and Jacky Cheung's recently released Fatal Fury, which was a good start for Hong Kong music in the first half of the year.

In addition to pop music, the most important force in the Hong Kong music scene in the past two years has to be rock music.

Wong Ka Kui did not die there, and his generation of rock king completely dominated the Chinese rock music scene.

In addition to Hong Kong Island's rock music, Rabbit's rock music development has reached its peak in the past two years.

Black Panther in 1991, Tang Dynasty in 1992, and the Magic Rock trio that have been making a splash in the past two years have allowed Chinese people around the world to see the power of Rabbit Rock music.

However, the most popular singer in the pop music scene is undoubtedly a woman, Faye Wong.

With the support of her brilliant music, Faye Wong is far more star-studded than in history.

With sales of eight million in six albums in three years, Faye Wong reached the peak of her career as soon as she debuted and was officially crowned the queen.

There was a deviation in history. Luo Nianzhong had never heard of many of her songs, which showed that she stole other people's opportunities.

But Luo Nianzhong doesn't care about these things, as long as he can make money for the Far East Group.

In terms of movies, Stephen Chow continued to dominate the comedy field. The King of Destruction and Justice, My Foot, which were released in February and March, both grossed over 30 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.

However, what the media is most looking forward to is God of Gamblers 2 which is about to start filming. Movie fans hope that it can break the record of God of Gamblers 1.

Just when everyone thought that Hong Kong's film industry might remain stable for a while, and that the film market would be hot again with the release of God of Gamblers 2 and Rush Hour 3 at the end of the year, Film East gave everyone a resounding slap in the face with its actual actions.

A modern four-storey building in the central and western part of Ap Lei Chau. This building is familiar to Hong Kong Island residents because the premieres of major investment films are basically held here, whether they are from Hong Kong or foreign films screened in Hong Kong.

Oriental Film and Television Theater. Since the Far Eastern Group began to build the two-dimensional IP cultural industry in Ap Lei Chau, Oriental Film and Television has established this theater here to increase the influence of Oriental Film and Television.

It is not only a theater, but also a museum of Oriental Film and Television. Many props and interesting items from famous film and television works are displayed here.

Just like the previous premieres, this time the screening of the film by Dongfang Films was still star-studded and attended by many big names.

"Cartoons? When did Film East start producing cartoons?"

"I don't know. At first I thought it was a Disney blockbuster coming to Hong Kong Island. Now it seems that this is not the case at all. The only producer of this cartoon is Dongfang Film and Television."

“I don’t know what they were thinking, but they made such a big fuss about a cartoon. Wouldn’t it be terrible if no one was interested?

You said that Disney is your sister company, so why would Film East want to enter a field that they have never been involved in?"

On both sides of the red carpet, reporters were full of doubts and clearly did not think highly of the animated film produced by Eastern Film and Television.

But being pessimistic is being pessimistic, and complaining is complaining, but it does not affect the rhythm of my camera frantically pressing the shutter button.

Not to mention the reporters, even the artists from Asian media were not particularly optimistic about this cartoon.

The main reason is that Hong Kong has never had any animated films before, and the only ones we have seen were from Disney or other island countries.

Animation films are already a mature industry there. When you, Dongfang Film and Television, make animation films, aren't you using your weakness to challenge others' strengths?

“I really don’t know what the company was thinking. Not only did they develop an animated film project, but they also wanted to release it worldwide. I heard that Disney pushed the distribution to the extreme, and the film will be released in the United States and Europe.

If the box office fails, won’t it be a joke to others?”

“Why worry about it? For our group, even if we lose money, it’s okay. It’s just a financial loss. We will not make animated films in the future.

Is it just the impact of the film industry? I don’t think there will be any impact. Apart from Hollywood, who else can compete with our Hong Kong films? "

However, not everyone thinks this way. Some people think that since Dongfang Film and Television dares to make such a big move, they must be confident and no one would joke about the company's brand.

"That person must be Shen Feng, right? If this cartoon can really become a global hit, this guy will be a huge success, right?"

Shen Feng is the director of this cartoon. Many people are optimistic about this film for their reasons. After all, he was the director of the globally popular Transformers and Saint Seiya cartoons.

Therefore, this animated film produced by Eastern Film and Television is not without experience. At least the director and the staff behind the scenes are experienced.

"Global explosion? Are you kidding me?"

"Do you think Shi Tian dares to joke about the company's brand? I estimate that even if this animated film fails to become a global hit, at least it will not lose money. It is certain to make money."

The celebrity reporters and lucky audience members who came to attend the premiere had their own ideas, but when it comes to movies, everything depends on the box office.

Just as they were chatting, the lights in the screening room dimmed and the logo of Eastern Film and Television appeared on the big screen. This movie, which was full of controversy before it even started, finally met with everyone.
