The premiere ended quickly, and then we went to the cinema to watch the movie.
Zhao Ye hadn't actually seen the movie "Lucky Stars in Summer".
The story tells of a series of hilarious and thrilling adventures that unfold when police brothers, including Partridge, Rhinoceros Hide, Big Mountain, Monk Fruit, American Ginseng, Mighty Pill, Barbara, and Vickery, receive a mission while on vacation.
During the movie, Zhao Ye couldn't help but laugh. The five lecherous men, played by Sammo Hung and others, used various tricks to try and take advantage of Rosamund Kwan. First, they staged a fight, pretending to fight amongst themselves, and when Kwan tried to intervene, the lechers took the opportunity to grope her… Then they faked a fire in the stairwell, shamelessly rushing into Kwan's room, tricking her into getting her clothes wet, and hiding in the bathtub to escape the fire…
Then one by one, a group of perverts stood in front of the bathtub, forcefully watching.
Li Aojun, the icy bodyguard sitting to his right, barely suppressed a laugh, while Wang Shuang, sitting to his left, sat upright, serious and unsmiling.
The film also contains many laughs.
For example, when the police chief was giving instructions to Hu Huizhong, Cheng Long, and others in the meeting room, he said, "This mission is very secret. Only you guys know about it in Hong Kong, so you all must keep it secret, understand?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the conference room lights came on, and several rows of people were sitting behind Hu Huizhong, Cheng Long, and the others.
What secret is there to keep?
The movie theater erupted in laughter again.
Of course, this movie also has many hilarious moments, which explains its huge commercial success. However, as the third installment in the Lucky Stars series, it falls short of the first two films in terms of both plot and story. Its biggest selling point is probably Rosamund Kwan's appearance without a bra...
It's worth mentioning that the film features close-up advertisements for Imagine digital pagers multiple times.
Hung Kam-po and others often boasted about it, frequently uttering the catchphrase, "Call me if you need anything."
He even used a digital pager to express his feelings.
For example, "520" means "I love you"!
The assassins were also equipped with Imagine-digital pagers, and their employers behind the scenes issued orders to them by sending mysterious numbers.
The audience exclaimed that Imagine—the digital pager—was awesome, using numbers to replace Morse code was simply amazing!
In this movie, the Imagine-digital pager is explored in countless ways, uncovering many things that Zhao Ye himself had never thought of.
Zhao Ye could easily imagine that after "Lucky Stars in Summer" became a hit in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, the Imagine digital pager would also become a huge success.
After the movie ended, Zhao Ye, Zou Huaiwen, and others filed out of the cinema.
"Mr. Zhao, how's the movie going? Are you satisfied with the way the Imagine digital pager was placed in the film?" Zou Huaiwen asked with a smile.
Zhao Ye nodded and smiled, "The movie was well-made and very funny. The product placement for Imagine digital pager was excellent; I'm very satisfied!"
"I hope we can continue to cooperate if the opportunity arises!" said Zou Huaiwen.
"Of course, no problem!"
Seeing that there were more and more people around, Zhao Ye bid farewell to Zou Huaiwen, Hong Jinbao and others.
That day, many people went to nearby shopping malls to inquire whether they had Imagine digital pagers for sale.
Imagin digital pager sales surged overnight, becoming a sensation throughout Hong Kong.
The younger members of the club were all proud to own an "imagine digital pager" and often said their catchphrase "Call me if you need anything."
Actually, Motorola mobile phones already existed in Hong Kong at that time, but they were expensive, costing HK$30,000 each, and only a few people in Hong Kong could afford them.
In contrast, the Imagine digital pager was different; it only cost HK$3,000, which was affordable if you saved up a little money. In 1985, the average monthly salary in Hong Kong was HK$3,000.
Therefore, from this perspective, the Imagine digital pager is not expensive.
...
The next day, in addition to reporting on the box office success of "Lucky Stars Go Places," Hong Kong media also published interviews with Zhao Ye, which sparked heated discussions among the public.
"A net worth of only 1 billion? That doesn't seem like much. Yet he's already the richest person in mainland China. If all those top Hong Kong tycoons just went to the mainland, wouldn't they all be the richest people there?" The person speaking had a strong sense of superiority, as if those top tycoons were himself.
Some people agree with Zhao Ye's remarks, believing that Hong Kong's economy should not rely too much on real estate and finance, but should instead develop technology and manufacturing.
Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking on the part of a small number of people.
Real estate developers and the Hong Kong government simply wouldn't listen.
In a previous life, in 1998, the Chief Executive proposed the development of Cyberport in Hong Kong. The originally promising Cyberport project was turned into a "real estate project" disguised as a technology project by Li Ka-shing's youngest son, Li Zekai, causing the Cyberport project to fail. Otherwise, Hong Kong today might be a completely different place.
It's no wonder that someone like Li Zekai, who doesn't value technology, mistakenly sold 20% of Tencent's shares, thus missing the opportunity to become the world's richest man.
Cause and effect, retribution, are an inescapable cycle.
...
With the popularity of "Lucky Stars in the Summer" in Hong Kong, the Imagine digital pager also became extremely popular.
For a time, pagers were in short supply.
In 1985, Hong Kong had a population of 5.45 million. Even if only one-tenth of them bought Imagine digital pagers, it would still be a huge sum.
