Current affairs films refer to movies adapted from current social hot events.

For example, the movie "Big Short" filmed based on the subprime mortgage crisis, "Explosion News" adapted from the sexual disturbance incident of Roger Els, the head of Fox TV network, and "Chinese Captain" adapted from the Sichuan Airlines passenger plane incident, etc.

Current affairs films are closely linked to social hot spots and use popular events to adapt and shoot, so they often have good box office. Therefore, whenever a hot spot occurs, a production company will quickly follow up and adapt it into a movie to release it.

For example, a few days ago, South Korea broke out in Room No. 1. A few days later, a film company said it would adapt it into a movie. However, due to unanimous opposition from netizens, they believed that they were sprinkling salt on the victim's wounds, which was an extremely immoral act and finally announced the cancellation.

There were no current affairs films in the Xiangjiang film industry before. The films filmed by film companies are basically mainly entertainment, so they are all filmed song and dance films, kung fu films, martial arts films, and monster films.

Even urban-themed movies are mostly comedy, crime, tragic, romance, and current affairs.

The reason for this is that social news is inevitably related to the Hong Kong government, the police, large consortiums, and big figures. It may involve other people's privacy, and once it is filmed, it is easy to offend people.

Before the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the society was very chaotic and dark. Police and gangsters colluded with each other. If the movies dared to be filmed randomly, they might be retaliated against.

Most of the film companies in Xiangjiang are small companies. Even big companies like Xiao and Jiahe are unwilling to cause trouble in vain, so they never shoot similar movies.

However, with the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in recent years, the Hong Kong government and police force have become new, and the social atmosphere has become new. Therefore, the topics that were not dared to touch before have gradually begun to touch.

Wu Siyuan was the first to take the lead. In 1975, he filmed his first current affairs film "Integrity Storm", which tells the story of punishing corrupt officials after the establishment of the Integrity Office.

In February of 1974, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established, and many borers were caught that year. In January of 1975, the former chief police chief of Xiangjiang Police Force, Ge Bo, was extradited to the case and brought to justice.

This incident caused a great sensation at that time, and the public's satisfaction with the Independent Commission Against Corruption reached 98%. It can be seen how popular it is.

"Integrity Storm" is also adapted from these anti-corruption stories. Because it is closely linked to social hot spots, it caused a sensation after its launch and achieved an excellent box office.

In 1976, Wu Siyuan continued to work hard and adapted the Hengsheng Bank robbery that occurred in 1975 into the "Seven Million Robbery". With a very realistic method, this unprecedentedly shocking robbery since the opening of the port in Hong Kong was presented.

The plans, preparations, and crime process before the incident were filmed based on the criminal's confession. Even the bank where the robbery was specially found to be a bank that was being demolished, which was quite real. Therefore, the box office of "The Seven Million Robbery" was also very popular after the release of the film, which was quite attractive.

These two extremely sensational and box office movies led to the trend of current affairs films in Xiangjiang. The subsequent "Royal Response to the Imperials", "The Art World's Demon Mirror", "The Xiangjiang Strange Case" series, etc. were all filmed from this.

Wu Siyuan, with his own strength, has led two major trends in the Xiangjiang film industry, including the current affairs news film industry.

...

Wu Siyuan was also quite content with this, so when he heard Ye Jin's praise, he felt very helpful.

"Mr. Ye, I have been working with a talented young director recently. He made a movie, which I think is very interesting. If you are interested, I hope you can take it to America for release." He said with a smile again.

"Oh?! I guess Director Wu is an extraordinary person who can make him praise him so much." Ye Jin smiled, "I don't know what his name is, what movie has he made?"

"His name is Xu Ke. Speaking of which, he is not an outsider," Wu Siyuan smiled, "He used to be the director of Jiayi TV Station and once filmed a very good TV series called "The Love of the Golden Sword".

I have watched that TV series and thought it was very good. Whether it is the camera scheduling, narrative rhythm or story arrangement, it feels like a movie.

From this point of view, I can see that he is a very talented person, so I asked him to film this "Butterfly Transformation". It is very interesting and creative. I think foreigners should like it."

When Ye Jin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Xu Ke's name is well-known.

Among the directors of the mainland event in Xiangjiang in his previous life, he was probably the most famous. The Di Renjie series created has stories, special effects, and scenes, which can be called the 007 mainland costume version.

Xu Ke achieved even higher achievements in Xiangjiang back then. "The Legend of the Sword", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "New Dragon Inn", "Sword", "Golden and Jade Hall", "Green Snake", "Shushan"... Good works are one after another, and classics are one by one.

Because his movie style is unique and full of imagination, he is respected as [Old Monster Xu]!

He has also heard of the movie "Butterfly Transformation". It is said that it is the first part of the early [Chaos Trilogy] of Old Monster Xu, and the other two are "Hell No Door" and "The First Type Danger".

But Ye Jin did not find any resources at that time, and he didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to see this movie now.

According to some information he has checked, the movie "Butterfly Transformation" is a very pioneering martial arts film. In the movie, Xu Laoqian gave a very unique interpretation of the [magical power] in the martial arts novel.

"Director Wu, I will take a look if I have the chance. If it is really good, maybe I can really take it to Hollywood for release." Ye Jin smiled.

When Wu Siyuan heard this, he immediately clapped his hands, "It's better to have a day than a day. I will arrange a screening immediately, and I just happened to have a copy of it in my hand."

Seeing that he was so kind, Ye Jin had to nod his head with a smile.

While Wu Siyuan was organizing the film, he called Xu Ke to come over and recommended it to Ye Jin to meet him.

...

After a quarter of an hour, a thin, thin, twenties, with two beards rushed over with a very beautiful and fashionable beauty.

"Mr. Ye, I'll introduce you. This is Director Xu Kexu, this is his girlfriend, Miss Shi Nansheng." Wu Siyuan introduced enthusiastically, "Xiao Xu, Xiao Shi, I don't need to introduce this Mr. Ye."

"Hello, Mr. Ye. You are so amazing. With your own strength, you can be regarded as our idol!" Xu Ke said with admiration.

Shi Nansheng nodded to Ye Jin with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Ye."

Ye Jin smiled and said, "Come on, please sit down, please sit down."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Ye." The two sat down.

Xu Ke sat next to Ye Jin, still excitedly expressing his admiration to him.

Xu Ke immigrated to America with his family in 1966 and attended a university in Texas.

Texas, those who have watched "Little Sheldon" know that it was a famous conservative state, so Xu Ke was discriminated against a lot in those years. After he finished his studies, he gave up his job in America and resolutely returned to Xiangjiang to develop.

Ye Jin successfully established a stick in Hollywood with his own strength and became one of the six giants Fox's CEO. In Xu Ke's opinion, this is really too much for Chinese people, and he is simply a national hero!

Therefore, he admired Ye Jin very much!
