155 [Sue the Electric Inspection Office]

"A Tian, ​​do you have a way?" When the Xiang brothers heard Yang Le's words, their eyes lit up and said in surprise.`

Because of this incident these days, they were almost worried, restless and unable to sleep at night. Now, when they heard that there was a turning point, they were all like drinking nectar and immediately became refreshed.

Xia Tian nodded, "There is a solution, but it needs to be taken a little risk, but there is no danger."

"You've said I was confused. What's the solution?" Xiang Huaqiang shook his head and said, "Taking some risks" and "no danger" are almost hilarious, just like talking about tongue twisters.

"Prosecution-Electricity-Prosecution-Department!" Xia Tian paused word by word and said seriously.

"What?!" The Xiang brothers all widened their eyes for a moment.

The Electric Inspection Department is responsible for film review. No movies that cannot pass the review cannot be released in Hong Kong. Therefore, although this government agency has a very low level, it has great power in its hands, which almost strangles the throats of all Hong Kong film companies.

Now Xia Tian actually suggested that their brothers go to the inspection office to sue the inspection office. Isn’t that just Tai Sui’s head is ripped and his beard stroked with his tiger’s mouth?

"What's the idea?! Like the Electric Inspection Office, we have not had time to flatter it, but now we are going to sue it?! Once we annoy it, all the movies will not pass the review in the future, and it will be over!" Xiang Huasheng waved his hands repeatedly.

"Yes, we can't afford to offend the inspection department. Even if the lawsuit is won, people will offend you. In the future, it will always wear small shoes. Every movie will drag you on for a few months, and the losses will be more than 10 million." Xiang Huaqiang also felt that Xia Tian's idea was unreliable.

"Don't worry, listen to me first. I'm going to have this idea, it's not going to harm you. What's the benefit for me?" Xia Tian spread his hands, "I asked you to take some risks in the inspection department, but the lawsuit is sure to win, and there will definitely be no worries."

"Really?! What's going on? Tell me." Xiang Huasheng felt that it made sense when he heard Xia Tian say this. The two brothers have always been good to Xia Tian. They collapsed, and it really doesn't do anything good to Xia Tian.`

"Hong Kong is a legal zone. All institutions in the Hong Kong government have laws to follow when doing things, and you all know that this is." Xia Tian said then.

Although Hong Kong was rampant in corruption and collusion with police and gangs in the past few years, it was just because of the inaction of law enforcement officers. In fact, Hong Kong's laws are still very complete.

Because Hong Kong's legal system follows the UK, and after thousands of years of reform, the British legal system is one of the most perfect legal systems in the world today.

The Xiang brothers all nodded, and they all agreed that Hong Kong is a legal zone. The reason why their clubs still exist is because there are loopholes in the law to exploit.

And as long as there is no evidence, even if they know they are Black X Club, the police will have no way to deal with them, and they are also responsible for protecting their business and personal safety.

If you are in Taiwan, you will catch up with the "Yiqing Movement" and will be deported without trial. You will be arrested and sent directly to Green Island to serve your sentence. You will not talk to you about the law at all.

"A Tian, ​​what does this have to do with us? The Electric Inspection Department reviews normally, and there are laws to follow and rules to follow. What can we sue them?" Xiang Huasheng said in confusion again.

It is true that Hong Kong is a legal district, which not only protects the rights and interests of citizens, but also protects the rights and interests of civil servants. As long as they do not commit favoritism and abuse of power, it is impossible to win them.

"The Legend of Wesley" cannot pass the review now, because the film has flaws and infringes on Ni Geng's copyright. It is also well-founded that people do not allow it to pass the review.

Of course, even if there is no basis and people deliberately delaying you for a year, it can only be considered a job slack. It cannot be considered illegal at all. This lawsuit cannot be won.

"You are wrong about this. As far as I know, there is no law to follow in the review of the Electricity Inspection Office, and there is no legislated 'Movie Review Ordinance' in Hong Kong." Xia Tian said with a smile. "For a long time, they have only worked under the 'executive order' of the Hong Kong Governor's Office and have not gone through formal legislative procedures. So what they do is actually illegal."

"What?!" The Xiang brothers widened their eyes in surprise, "Is this true?"

The Hong Kong Electric Inspection Office, as the only authority for censoring movies in Hong Kong, does not have to follow the law. This is absurd, right?!

They have so much power, but they cannot follow and have no rules. Then they do whatever they want and do whatever they want!

"It's true. If you don't believe it, ask the lawyers and ask them if Hong Kong has promulgated the "Movie Review Ordinance" officially legislated by the Legislative Council." Xia Tian said confidently.

When Xiang Huasheng heard this, he quickly called his lawyer.

After a moment, he put down the phone and shook his head, "There is indeed no such regulation!"

"They are just doing it nonsense! That's great!" Xiang Huaqiang said happily. This is what it means to be "There is no way out after the end of the road, and there is another village in the dark and bright scenery."

The inspection department thought that it had strangled the throat of Hong Kong film companies and could do whatever they wanted, but in fact they were illegal institutions.

"A Tian, ​​okay, how do you know that they are paper tigers?" Xiang Huasheng looked at Xia Tian in surprise and said.

Xia Tian smiled slightly. This was something he learned in his textbook.

That text introduces the process of the birth of the Hong Kong film rating system. In March 1987, the British "Asia Wall Street Journal" publicly revealed that the film inspections of the Hong Kong Electric Inspection Office were conducted without a legal basis, which caused a great shock at that time.

Subsequently, the Hong Kong Executive Council and the Legislative Council urgently established a special project team to review the "Movie Review Ordinance", and finally launched the "Movie Inspection Ordinance" in 1988. From Hong Kong films, there was a hierarchical system and a formal "film".

Because I have read this article, Xia Tian learned about the weaknesses of the inspection department. He knew that one shot was accurate, so he was so painful that he couldn't speak.

"You use this to sue them and ensure that the lawsuit will be won." Xia Tian said, "and I believe they should take measures soon to introduce a formal 'electric inspection regulations' as soon as possible. At that time, we will have rules to follow when making movies, so don't worry about being stuck in the inspection office. Do you think this is a good thing that benefits the public once and for all?"

"No, not bad, this is a good thing." The Xiang brothers nodded, their expressions were very excited.

If this happens, not only will the "Legend of Wesley" they invested in can be released and resolved their economic crisis, but the two brothers have made such great contributions to the Hong Kong film industry and will become heroes in people's hearts. Those filmmakers will have to owe them a favor.

"You contact a few more media to create momentum, and then connect with several major Hong Kong film companies. It is best to find some celebrities to help you, and then this matter will be even more done." Xia Tian advised again.

"I understand." Xiang Huasheng nodded, with a hideous smile on his face, "That damn electric inspection department has been making me so hard these days! This time I will let them lose their skin even if they don't die!!"

Xia Tian was angry when he saw Xiang Huasheng, who had always been gentle and elegant, and it seemed that he had indeed suffered a lot of grievances.

No wonder! Anyone who invests 18 million Hong Kong dollars doesn’t want it to sink directly into the water without even a sound.

...

After giving the Xiang brothers an idea, Xia Tian returned to the crew of "Zombie Family" and continued filming.

In this drama, he is both the starring actor, the director and the producer. The crew has to deal with all the affairs, and it is very busy.

As soon as I returned to the crew, I saw Wang Qixian welcome him, "Brother Tian, ​​I just called you, and he said he was Li Guoxing from Meiya Entertainment Company."

"Meia Entertainment?!" Xia Tian was stunned. This was a very awesome movie company.

Meiya Entertainment was founded by Li Guoxing, a Chinese overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. Its main business is to bring Hong Kong movies to Southeast Asia. At its peak, it was ranked among the four major Hong Kong merchants along with Shaw Brothers, Princess Jin and Jiahe.

When VCD became popular in the mainland, almost every video record had the logo of "Meiya Entertainment", which has become the deepest memory of many post-80s generations of Hong Kong films.

Even in the new century, the United States and Asia are still among the first camps of Chinese-language film merchants in the face of competition from the three major countries, including the World Asian and Big 6.

As a professional who graduated from the director department, Xia Tian is of course well-known for the name of Meiya. Now the boss of the film company calls himself, obviously he is giving him money.

"I just don't know what price he is going to buy." Xia Tian thought to himself, and then called Li Guoxing back.

"Hello, Mr. Li!" Xia Tian said with a smile, "What's the price to do when you find me!"

"Boss Xia is busy with work, but I still want to invite you to a simple meal. I wonder if it is inconvenient for you?" Li Guoxing also said with a smile.

"How can I recommend Mr. Li's invitation? That's it." Xia Tian agreed immediately.

"Okay, happy! Is Peninsula Hotel OK at 8 o'clock tonight?" Li Guoxing said again.

"Okay, just say a word, see you until you leave." Xia Tian nodded.

After putting down the phone, Xia Tian danced happily.

Listening to Li Guoxing's tone, he seemed very sincere, which made him look forward to the night date.

"Mr. Zombie" has been outdated because there is a lack of channels for selling ports in the summer.

Several Nanyang film dealers have also offered prices, but they all have been very low, which does not meet his psychological expectations.

Now that the big American and Asian business has taken action, I believe it will not disappoint me.

"Brother Tian, ​​what's the good thing? I'm so happy." Wang Qixian asked curiously.

"Someone sent me money. Do you think I'm happy?" Xia Tian smiled proudly, "If today's deal is completed, I will buy a half-mountain mansion to give it to you tomorrow!" (To be continued.)
