Taiping Theatre, the earliest theatre in the 19th century in Heung Kong, was built 150 years ago and is located on the west of Des Voeux Road, Shek Tong Tsui. www..com the whole theater can accommodate nearly 1,000 people, divided into front, middle and rear seats, two-story super and box.

Fifty years ago, the Taiping Theatre was rebuilt, the boxes were cancelled, and the number of seats even exceeded 2,000.

In Hong Kong, Taiping Theatre and Lee Theatre are the two well-known theatres, even though the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, which is under construction, is slightly worse than both.

but--

Due to the vigorous development of the Hong Kong film industry, Cantonese opera films also developed rapidly, but Cantonese opera performances fell into a low ebb in the late 1960s. Coupled with factors such as the popularity of television and the fierce competition in the theater industry, Taiping Cinema finally closed its doors last year. The last movie it screened was The Xu Brothers' "Modern Bodyguard."

The organizer of the Academy Awards, which received a large amount of sponsorship from Xu Cun, originally wanted to hold the first award ceremony of the Academy Awards on the Lee Stage, but because the Lee Stage was undergoing renovations, it was convenient for the sponsor of the Academy Awards to set the venue for the Academy Awards at The Taiping Theatre, which has been closed.

At this moment, the seats on the ground floor of the Taiping Theater are full, and they are basically celebrities, guests and media reporters. The second and third floors are ordinary movie fans who bought high-priced tickets to watch the scene.

Nowadays, Xu Cun can be said to be the most dazzling person in the Hong Kong film industry. Therefore, since Xu Cun entered the Taiping Theatre, people have been crowding around, interviewing or greeting each other, and even the entrance of the Taiping Theatre was blocked.

Seeing this scene, Wang Zuixian and Ge Weiru, who had been with Xu Cun all the time, had an intuitive understanding of Xu Cun's rising status.

To this-

Wang Zuixian's expression was sweet and happy, and he leaned on Xu Cun's side unconsciously.

Ge Weiru was thoughtful and instinctively wanted to stay away from Xu Cun, but her legs didn't listen to her at all.

Xu Cun took a lot of effort to get rid of those people, and then came to the guest seat and sat with Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun, Zhang Youxin, Zhong Yijie, and Liao Yiyuan.

Zhang Youxin is the chairman of the Hong Kong Municipal Council, and Zhong Yijie is an official of the Hong Kong Administrative Department. Both of them are in charge of the film, and they can be regarded as the parents of all filmmakers.

Liao Yiyuan, also known as Yuan, number Disheng. His ancestral home is Xinhui, Guangdong, and he was born in Xiangjiang. In 1939, he graduated from the Hong Kong Zhongg Journalism Institute. He used to be a reporter for Heung Kong International News Agency and an editor for Hengyang "Li Bao". In 1951, he served as editorial director of Heung Kong "Wen Wei Po". After 1956, he served as general manager of Xiangjiang Xinlian Film Company and chairman of the three film companies of Great Wall, Phoenix and Xinlian.

Two months later, the Chinese-funded film organization "Yindu Organization Co., Ltd." was formed by the merger of "Great Wall", "Phoenix", "Xinlian", and the newly established "Zhongyuan Film Company", and Liao Yiyuan was the chairman.

It can be said that Liao Yiyuan is definitely a rare big figure in the Xiangjiang film circle. His status is not even under Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai. When Zhongg takes back Xiangjiang, it is a foregone conclusion, and his status is even faintly above Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai. .

As soon as Xu Cun sat down, Liao Yiyuan took the initiative to find Xu Cun, and then began to chat warmly with Xu Cun.

In addition to film production, "Yindu" also operates film distribution, theaters, studios, and other commercial investments. The films produced by "Yindu" can be distributed directly in the mainland market, and the films they shoot can start shooting without having to go through the script approval of the relevant mainland authorities.

In a short period of time, Xu Cun does not plan to enter the mainland in a big way, because it requires huge political risks. Therefore, Xu Cun also wanted to sell DreamWorks films into the mainland under the hand of "Silver Capital".

Based on this, Xu Cun responded positively to Liao Yiyuan's enthusiastic chat. In the end, Xu Cun even agreed to be the ribbon-cutting guest when Yindu was listed.

It's exactly six o'clock.

A bleak, melodious, dreamy tune sounded.

This song seems to come from ancient times, penetrating hundreds of millions of years to reach today. Clear and ethereal, with great penetrating power, in the continuous melody, there are distant memories and bitter nostalgia. The low and gentle place is like a deep valley, and it is slightly stagnant; the high place is like a mountain and flowing clouds, flying and long.

Although it is not the first time for most people to hear "Original Landscape of Hometown", they are still captured by the charm of "Original Landscape of Hometown".

The people present thought in unison: "There is no need to choose the best original movie song. The "Original Scenery of Hometown" as the opening song is the undisputed best original movie song."

The hosts of the award ceremony were He Shouxin and Shen Dianxia, ​​the hosts of Phoenix TV. They slowly walked onto the stage with "Original Landscape of Hometown". Then, He Shouxin looked around and said to Shen Dianxia who was beside him: "Fat, do you think we should wait for a while? To disturb everyone listening to such a beautiful tune, I feel that I am guilty of a lot!"

Shen Dianxia asked cooperatively, "You have already disturbed everyone's enjoyment of the music, so hurry up and find a way to atone for your sins."

He Shoudao: "Then what can I do to atone for my sins?"

Shen Dianxia said with a smile: "Everyone here is people who like movies. Can you tell us about the history of Hong Kong's movies?"

He Shoudao: "This idea is good, but I don't need to introduce it. Mr. Xian Qiran specially made a brief history of Hong Kong movies, just to help you recall the history of Hong Kong movies. Please watch the big screen."

The lights on the podium suddenly dimmed, and the two presenters had already left by the time the projector beam hit the big screen. A black-and-white still of a movie appeared on the screen, and the voice-over also sounded: "In 1909, Bingermen Blaski, the boss of the Magic Capital 'Asian Film Company' filmed the silent film comedy "Steal the Roast Duck" in Hong Kong The main creators of the film are all from the Heungkong theater industry. The director is Liang Shaopo, and the actors include Liang Shaopo, Huang Zhongwen, Li Beihai, etc., and the history of Heungkong film has opened the curtain..."

Followed by another black and white photo of the street~lightnovelpub.net~ with a voiceover: "In 1911, the first luxury cinema in Hong Kong, the Victoria Cinema, was completed in Des Voeux Road..."

When another black and white photo appeared on the screen, many filmmakers exclaimed, and even Shao Yifu sat up straight.

"In 1913, the first feature film produced by Heung Kong, "Zhuangzi Test Wife," was screened. The director was Li Minwei, the photographer was Luo Yongxiang, and the main actors were Li Minwei and Yan Shanshan. This film marked the enlightenment period of Heung Kong cinema. The end of the film, the beginning of the budding period, opened a new page in the history of Hong Kong movies. 1913, this year was the first year of the Hong Kong film in the true sense, this photo that everyone saw on the screen, It is Mr. Li Minwei, the father of Heung Kong Film..."

Seeing Li Minwei, Xu Cun unconsciously thought of Li Zhu's family, and then Li Ke, who was almost twelve years old. Then, Xu Cun thought unconsciously: "In a few decades, what kind of status will I be in the history of movies?"
