People in Hong Kong create super chaebols
Chapter 1083 Huge Increase in Influence
Just as "The Chinese Zodiac" aroused heated discussions among many people, the drama also attracted the attention of relevant departments in the mainland.
Because, this movie is a positive movie for the country, and it can also promote history very well.
The film focuses on the search for the long-lost heads of the twelve zodiac animals from the Old Summer Palace. Through the efforts and wisdom of the protagonists, these precious cultural relics are finally successfully protected, demonstrating the importance of patriotism and the protection of cultural heritage.
At the same time, the film also incorporates positive values such as teamwork, bravery, and sense of justice.
Therefore, judging from the theme and content, the movie "Zodiac" fully meets the definition of a positive energy movie.
It not only conveys positive emotions and values, but also inspires the audience's attention and love for the protection of cultural heritage through vivid plots and character creation.
Originally, this movie was not shown in mainland China because the mainland market was still relatively small at that time and movie tickets were only 1 cents each, which Jiayi Film Company really did not think highly of.
However, the relevant departments took the initiative to contact Jiayi Film Company, hoping to introduce this film to the mainland.
Naturally, Jiayi Film Company would not refuse and agreed directly.
This matter was also known to Su Cheng.
After learning about this, Su Cheng decisively said to Liang Shuyi, the president of Jiayi Film and Television Group: "Let's give the mainland free broadcast rights for this movie for one year!"
For him, there is absolutely no need to make several million RMB in the mainland by making this movie.
Liang Shuyi naturally did not dare to refuse the boss's instructions, so after discussing with the relevant mainland departments, she directly granted the mainland one year of free rights.
Su Cheng also knows that even if it is not free, there will be a lot of pirated copies in the future.
The reason why he only gave it for one year instead of free forever was to keep some suspense for the future copyright of the film and prevent some people from using it to create profits for themselves.
During this period, televisions were not yet popular in mainland China and were still considered a luxury in the eyes of many people. People mainly watched movies in groups.
This type of film viewing usually takes place in public places such as open-air cinemas, auditoriums or community activity centers.
A large open space was filled with people coming from all directions, and the images on the film were projected onto a white cloth opposite through an old projector. This was people's collective memory of watching movies at that time.
This way of watching movies is not only social, but also allows people to share the fun and excitement of watching movies.
In addition to group and family viewing, other movie-watching venues emerged in the 80s, such as audio-visual halls and video halls.
These places usually offer a variety of movies and TV series for customers to choose from, and have gradually become important places for young people to socialize and entertain.
So, during this period, if you want to make money from the mainland's film market, it is basically impossible.
These are what Su Cheng was thinking about. Instead of making that little money, he might as well give them some face and just waive it for them and let them choose any room they want.
Su Cheng never thought of getting rich from this movie.
As a result, "The Chinese Zodiac" soon began to be broadcast in various provinces and cities in the mainland.
Many people watched this movie for this reason.
The bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals from the Old Summer Palace also began to be recognized by everyone.
On a summer night in 1985, in a small town in western Guangdong Province.
The starry sky is bright, the breeze is blowing, and an open-air cinema is bustling with activity in an open space on the edge of the town.
The scene in front of the screen, which was temporarily built with bamboo poles and old sheets, was already crowded with people and very lively.
Villagers came from all directions, bringing small stools and palm-leaf fans, and some families simply spread out mats, ready to enjoy this rare evening entertainment time.
As a beam of strong light cut through the night sky, the old projector began to hum, slowly turning reels of film carrying countless dreams.
The prologue of "The Chinese Zodiac" slowly opens. The film tells the legendary story of a group of brave young people who travel through time and space and go through numerous difficulties and challenges in order to protect the zodiac totem that has been passed down for thousands of years.
On the screen, colorful pictures and vivid characters come to life, sometimes thrilling, sometimes warm and touching, making the audience stare with bated breath and sometimes laugh.
The children stared with their eyes wide open, deeply attracted by the wonderful transformations of the zodiac animals and the thrilling adventure plots;
Adults are looking for their own youthful memories or a deep resonance with traditional culture.
The air is filled with the sweet aroma of popcorn and the occasional smell of tobacco. People sit or lie down, enjoying this simple and pure happiness.
Occasionally, a cool breeze blows by, taking away the day's fatigue, leaving only the warmth and touch in the heart.
As the film draws to a close, with the zodiac totem finally being safely protected, the light and shadow on the screen gradually dims, but the audience is reluctant to leave for a long time.
As night falls and the sky is covered with stars, the last frame of the picture on the screen of the rural open-air cinema slowly disappears. The villagers talk about it with great interest, as if they are still immersed in the gripping story of "The Chinese Zodiac".
They sat together, sharing their feelings about watching the movie and discussing the heroic deeds in the film, as if they had become a part of that legendary story.
"Oh, this movie is so wonderful, especially the part where these people work together to protect the national treasure. It makes my heart surge!" Grandpa Li said with emotion while waving a palm-leaf fan.
"Yes, Uncle Li, me too, especially that JC. He is smart and brave, and can always come up with good ideas at critical moments. He is really admirable." Xiao Wang is a young man with excitement in his eyes.
"And, SIMON was so majestic when he first appeared on the stage. He could do anything, from riding a motorcycle to flying a plane. It felt like the whole world was being shaken by him. It was so shocking!" Aunt Zhang was a warm-hearted person and she danced with joy when she spoke.
"I have a clearer understanding of the story behind the Old Summer Palace. More than a hundred years ago, our country lived a very difficult life as it was invaded by those bad countries!" said a ten-year-old girl.
"Yes, this is our shameful history. This movie is very well made and can help everyone understand our Chinese history!" said the companion in agreement.
"By the way, I think this movie is not only good to watch, but also allows us to better understand the cultural connotations of the twelve zodiac signs. We only knew they were animal signs before, but now we know that there are so many stories and meanings behind them." Teacher Zhao is a cultured person and can always look at problems from different angles.
"Teacher Zhao is right. We must pass on these traditional cultures in the future and let children know the stories of the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals." The village chief is a visionary man, and his words reveal the importance he attaches to cultural heritage.
"Yes, yes, the village chief is right. There are many children in our village who like to watch movies. In the future, we can ask the projection operator to play more good movies like this, which can not only entertain the children but also let them learn knowledge." Aunt Li is a kind-hearted person and always wants to make some contribution to the village.
As the night deepened, the villagers gradually dispersed, but their hearts were filled with love for traditional culture and expectations for the future. This open-air movie not only allowed them to spend a pleasant night, but also gave them a deeper understanding of the cultural connotations of the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals in the Old Summer Palace.
The bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals serve as the fountain clock in front of the Haiyan Hall of the Western Building in the Old Summer Palace. Their unique design and the cultural significance they contain make them of great historical significance.
Before, no one knew about it, especially since many villagers only had primary school diplomas and many had never been to school. How could they possibly know?
But this movie allows everyone to learn about that period of history. Even if they have not read the book, they will gradually begin to have a certain understanding of this period of history.
On the dirt road, a father and son were walking back home after watching a movie.
"Dad, can this bronze statue of the animal head be returned to our country?" The child, who was less than ten years old, riding on his father's shoulders, couldn't help but ask his father.
"Yes, I believe we will all be able to come back, son. Remember our previous humiliating history, study hard, and make great contributions to the country when you grow up. Do you understand?" the father replied with a smile.
"I get it, Dad. I will study hard. In the future, I want to enter a military academy and become a soldier!" The child expressed his ambition!
"Okay, Dad supports you!" The father laughed heartily.
……
Less than a month after "The Chinese Zodiac" was released in mainland China, the number of people who had watched the movie had reached tens of millions across the country.
Especially in Guangdong Province close to Hong Kong, in major industrial cities like Pengcheng, Dongguan and Yangcheng, companies organized their employees to watch this movie, which can be regarded as a relaxation benefit for everyone.
Moreover, in the future, more people will see this movie which is supported even by the relevant departments.
In addition, after Jiayi Film Company announced that it would provide free broadcasting rights to the mainland for one year, CCIV News also spent several minutes introducing the film.
In addition, a prime time period was chosen to broadcast the film.
According to survey data, in 1985, the average number of television sets per 17.21 urban households in the mainland was 17.21, which means that among urban residents, about % of households owned a television.
In rural areas, the proportion is even lower, with an average of only 0.8 television sets per 0.8 rural households, which means that only about % of rural households own a television.
Although the penetration rate is very low, so low that not every household can afford a television, when all added together, it can cover tens of millions of people.
For example, in rural areas, although televisions are a luxury among luxuries, as long as a family owns a television, many people in the village will go to that house to watch TV. One television can accommodate dozens or even hundreds of people.
Many small shops in towns also have televisions, and these families with televisions often become places where people gather.
Therefore, just through this broadcast, tens of millions of people saw the movie.
In addition, the broadcasters carried their machines to various villages and towns to broadcast the film, and the film gained countless viewers in a very short period of time.
The popularity of this movie has also caused many viewers to discuss it heatedly.
That is, where are the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals now?
Where are they hiding?
However, no one knows.
After this movie was shown, the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals became more and more mysterious in people's minds.
He was soon called a national treasure by everyone, 12 missing national treasures!
People both at home and abroad have been discussing the background of this movie, and the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animal heads have truly come into everyone's sight.
Sucheng, which has already collected all 12 bronze statues of zodiac animals, makes each one directly public.
It took him several years to collect the 12 bronze statues of the zodiac animals, and he collected them when they were not well-known.
If it were today, when many people around the world know about these national treasures, it would be very difficult to collect them all.
After all, even if so many wealthy people in later generations went to participate in the auction, they would not be able to gather enough.
It can be seen from this that once the popularity increases, the cost of acquiring them not only greatly increases, but also becomes difficult to gather.
This is because there may be some collectors who like to collect some particularly famous antiques. Since they are not short of money, they naturally will not put them up for auction.
But when Su Cheng collected them, the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals were basically unknown at that time, and very few people knew about them. That was the easiest time to collect them.
Now, all the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals have been collected. No matter how great its influence is, it will have no effect on Sucheng at this point.
This is also why the movie "The Chinese Zodiac" is only being shown now, instead of when Su Cheng was looking for the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals.
Because once it is released in advance, people will naturally not sell it easily. Both the price and the collection value will be greatly increased. Shooting and broadcasting it at that time will only cause trouble for Su Cheng himself. He is not that stupid.
In a private villa in Hong Kong, Tseung Kwan O, and Suzhou City.
The Su family villa is very large, so large that even though the Su family, including Cherie Chung, Ka Wai Kwan and others, as well as servants and bodyguards, has only more than 30 people, it does not seem crowded at all.
Here, when the villa was first built, Su Cheng deliberately reserved a room with an area of over a hundred square meters as his own private collection room.
Here, he preserves the numerous collections he has collected over the years, including blue and white porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, ornamental stones, stamps, medals, Chinese paintings, etc. Among them are the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animal heads that he asked Brother Wu to collect without hesitation over the years.
These bronze statues have been authenticated by the most professional appraisers, and all of them are genuine.
Moreover, the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animal heads were not famous before, and no one would deliberately imitate them.
Standing in the collection room, Su Cheng looked at these national treasures and felt a little emotional.
In his previous life, so many people hoped to collect all the national treasures in the world, but now he has collected them all. It is really unbelievable.
Looking at these bronze statues of animal heads, Su Cheng suddenly had an idea in his heart: "Perhaps, it's time to find a time to let them see the light of day again!"
To him, these bronze animal heads are just collections and they don’t play a big role. (End of this chapter)
