  China News Agency reporter, Huang Yaohui


  "I’m not a businessperson, I’m just an artist, an actor who makes kung fu movies," Hong Jinbao, an international superstar, said in an interview with China News Agency reporters at the three meetings of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Yunfu City on the 24th. "Economic construction is the same as making kung fu movies. Only real’punches and kicks’ will be effective."


  Hong Jinbao, nickname "Sanmao", was born in Hong Kong in 1949 and was originally from Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. He officially entered the film industry at the age of 16. He is famous as a kung fu actor and has the reputation of "Jackie Chan’s eldest brother". According to reports, including editor, director and producer, Hong Jinbao has more than 190 works.


  The "five big and three rough" brother Hong is enthusiastic about charity, and he still adopts forty orphans in Yulin, Guangxi.


  Brother Hong said that Yunfu has been here many times, and each time the feeling is different. He said that Yunfu’s urban construction is like a boxer’s movements, and every time he arrives in Yunfu, it gives people a new sense of beauty.


  On the topic of how to promote Yunfu to the world, the 103-kilogram brother Hong gestured to the reporter with kung fu movements very nimbly, saying that Yunfu is the "stone capital of China" and the youngest city in Guangdong Province, which is rich in natural resources and has a wide range of popularity. After saying that, Hong Jinbao suddenly stretched out a clenched fist to the reporter and said that concentrating his advantages and fighting out will definitely attract people.


  Hong Jinbao pointed to his clenched fist and explained that this "fist" has both Yunfu’s own advantages and the benefits of social celebrities who participate in Yunfu’s economic construction. Brother Hong said that the "fist" that is fought has "explosive power" and "lethal power".


  It is understood that last year Yunfu finished with a gross domestic product of 31.98 billion yuan, an increase of 10.2 percent over the same period; the per capita disposable income of urban residents was 12,339 yuan, an increase of 5.8 percent, and the per capita net income of rural residents was 5,491 yuan, an increase of 13.8 percent.


  In the next five years, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, and Bank of China will allocate 55.3 billion yuan in credit lines to Yunfu to deal with the global financial crisis.


  In an interview, Hong Jinbao kicked his leg sideways and smiled at the reporter, saying that the modern city of Yunfu has already started, and if you seize the opportunity and use "all kinds of kung fu", you can consolidate the achievements and achieve the desired goal.


  He said Yunfu was a "kung fu field" where businesspeople and companies from all walks of life "punched and kicked". (End)

Fu Ruoqing, Party Secretary of China Film Group CorporationMake good use of the film supply in the Spring Festival schedule to enhance the enthusiasm for watching movies, thus driving the recovery of the habit of watching movies. Therefore, when planning the films for this year’s Spring Festival, we are very concerned about the richness of the films we provide and the difference of their corresponding categories, so as to meet the different needs of the market.
While satisfying the audience’s demand for "family fun" with content suitable for all ages, the cinema has also taken many measures to stimulate the enthusiasm for watching movies. Statistics show that the average ticket price for the pre-sale of Spring Festival stalls in 2023 is 53.8 yuan, which is lower than the average ticket price of 56.2 yuan for the pre-sale of Spring Festival stalls in 2022 in 2.4 yuan.

Director Zhang Yimou’s work "Man Jiang Hong" is scheduled to be released on the first day of New Year’s Day. The film is narrated in the corresponding historical background and tells a story of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty in the way of "suspense+comedy".
Zhang Yimou, director of "Man Jiang Hong"Suspense and comedy are two actions, and emotionally they are two actions. The goal I set for myself is how to make everyone laugh 30 times, laugh, smile knowingly, and smile at the corners of the mouth. It takes 30 times to be comedy. So the first time I sat in the audience and listened to the audience’s laughter, I was praised by my teacher and affirmed by my teacher, just like the students handed in their homework.
The script of "Man Jiang Hong" has been polished for nearly five years, focusing on the little people in trouble and completing the narrative goal of the film in constant plot reversal, which is another exploration of the theme of "feelings for home and country" expressed by director Zhang Yimou after the Winter Olympics.
In recent years, "feelings of home and country" has become one of the important keywords to attract the audience into the cinema. The national pride and cultural self-confidence have moved millions of ordinary people in Qian Qian to gain from the light and shadow experience on the big screen. According to the statistics of the National Film Bureau, among the total box office of 30.067 billion yuan in 2022, the domestic movie box office was 25.511 billion yuan, accounting for 8.485%. Movies such as Wandering Earth 2 and China Ping-Pong’s Jedi Counter-Strike, which were released at the same time as Man Jiang Hong, all chose to combine the theme with commercial films.
