IPO freezing welcomes the climax of lifting the ban on A-share "size and size"


Data picture mapping/Yang Hong


  Total fundraising decreased by nearly 80% year-on-year.


  According to the statistics of our data center, including Shanghai Electric’s non-financing IPO, 77 companies have appeared in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets through IPO since 2008 (6 main board companies in Shanghai stock market and 71 small and medium board companies in Shenzhen stock market). Except for Shanghai Electric, 76 companies raised a total of about 103.4 billion yuan, with an average price-earnings ratio of 27 times.


  Since the beginning of this year, due to the deep adjustment of the stock market, the number of IPO companies and the total amount of funds raised have been greatly reduced compared with last year. The industry believes that the IPO is less likely to open in the remaining ten trading days of the year. Optimists predict that if the market is optimistic, it is expected to restart the IPO; in January or the first quarter of next year; However, pessimists said that the current market expansion pressure is still great, and it will take time to open the gate.


  77 new faces appeared


  Since January 1, 2008, the Shanghai Composite Index has dropped from a high of 5,522 points to 1,954 points on December 12, with a drop rate of more than 60%. The deep adjustment of the market not only makes investors "suffer huge losses", but also greatly reduces the scale of IPO.


  According to the statistics of our data center, in 2007, a total of 123 companies were listed on the A-share IPO, including 23 main board companies and 100 small and medium-sized board companies in Shanghai. The total amount of funds raised was about 477 billion yuan, with an average price-earnings ratio of 30 times.


  Compared with 2007, the number of companies listed through IPO in 2008 decreased by 38%, the total amount of funds raised decreased by 78%, and the average P/E ratio decreased by 10%.


  In addition to the sharp slowdown in the pace of issuance, there have been few large-cap IPOs this year, with only five companies issuing more than 500 million shares, accounting for 6% of the total number of IPOs, compared with 17% last year. However, although the number is small, large-cap stocks still play a major financing role. The five companies raised a total of 73.3 billion yuan, accounting for 70% of the total IPO funds raised this year.


  Among the 76 IPO companies this year, China Coal Energy raised the highest amount of funds, reaching 25.6 billion yuan; China South Locomotive issued the largest number of shares, with 3 billion shares; The number of shares issued by Chuanda Zhisheng, which was listed on June 23rd, is the smallest, only 13 million shares. Teerjia, which went public on February 1st, raised the least amount of funds, amounting to 122.2 million yuan.


  At the same time, due to the continuous decline of the market, the increase of IPO on the first day of listing is also very different. Huarui Cast Steel, which was listed on January 16th, issued 54 million shares, raising 580 million yuan, with an opening increase of 206% and a closing increase of 189%. Huachang Chemical, which was listed on September 25th, issued 51 million shares and raised 510 million yuan, with an opening increase of only 75% and a closing increase of 85%.


  From the industry point of view, in 2007, 10 financial and insurance companies went public through IPO, while in 2008, the number was 0; Among the IPO companies this year, the two industries with the largest proportion are machinery, equipment, instrumentation and petrochemical plastics, with 16 and 14 companies respectively.


  Judging from the month of IPO issuance, there were at least four in March this year; At the peak in May, 18 companies were issued and listed. Up to now, no company has listed on the IPO in the fourth quarter.


  It is worth noting that although Shanghai Electric, which landed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on December 5, was also in the form of IPO, it adopted the method of exchanging shares to absorb the shares of Shanghai Power, and did not raise funds from the market.


  The IPO has not been reviewed in the past three months.


  Since Huachang Chemical landed in Shenzhen Small and Medium-sized Board on September 25th, the domestic A-share IPO has been at a standstill. Not only that, the IPO audit has also entered a "frozen period". Since the initial application of Hunan Boyun New Materials Co., Ltd. was approved by the Audit Committee of China Securities Regulatory Commission at its 135th meeting in 2008 on September 16, 2008, the Audit Committee has not conducted IPO audit for nearly three months by December 12, 2008.


  According to the data of Wind, there are 33 companies that have "passed the meeting" but are still waiting in line for listing, including China Construction, Everbright Securities and China Merchants Securities. Among them, the first application for China Building was approved on June 5th, and it has been more than six months since then.


  However, it is not just domestic A-shares that are stagnant in IPO. In the context of the global financial crisis and the sharp turmoil in the stock market, the global IPO process has slowed down significantly, especially in the United States. According to reports, since the last IPO on August 8, the US IPO market has been completely frozen, and there has been no harvest for several months, setting a record for the longest "vacuum period" of US IPOs since Thomson Reuters tracked statistics in 1980. Some people joked that American IPO entered the hibernation period ahead of schedule, and many bankers and investors have basically begun to pay attention to IPO activities next year, but no longer care about the rest of 2008.


  When will the gate open?


  Although there are still 13 trading days left in December, the industry believes that the possibility of restarting IPO this year is very small.


  According to Wind data, the number of shares released in December reached 25.256 billion, second only to 27.55 billion in August, which was the second largest peak of lifting the ban in the year, and the financial pressure was still great.


  Liu Jiazhang, a strategist at National Securities, said that the current market financing function depends entirely on the quality of the market. If there is a cross-year market, there may be some small and medium-sized board IPOs tentatively in January or the first quarter of next year.


  Unlike Liu Jiazhang’s optimistic expectations, most people in the industry are relatively pessimistic. Xu Haiyang, chief strategist of Nisshin Securities, said that the current market environment does not have the conditions to restart the IPO, and there is no hope that the IPO will open for at least three months. The economy is located in the deceleration cycle, and the secondary market is expected to expand greatly, which greatly affects the market financing function.


  Xu Wei, a strategic researcher at Guojin Securities, also said that it may be at the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter at the earliest, the Central Economic Work Conference proposed to maintain the stable and healthy development of the capital market, and the management will also consider the market situation more.


  At present, the important problem to be solved in the stock market is not to promote more corporate financing, but to solve the "sequela" problem of share reform and expansion reasonably and smoothly. According to the statistics of brokers, the total number of "non-size" lifting the ban will reach 687.024 billion shares next year, which is the highest peak in the history of "non-size" lifting the ban, equivalent to 4.2 times the number of lifting the ban this year. After the lifting of the ban, the proportion of A-share tradable shares in the total share capital will soar from 37% at the end of 2008 to 74% next year.


  Xu Haiyang pointed out that the focus of the macro-economy in the future is to maintain growth, and the focus of the capital market in one or two years is to solve the problem of expansion. Even if the newly listed stocks are not considered, the market value of tradable shares will expand by about three times in the next two years. Earlier, it was reported that the audit committee "dismissed" some companies that queued up for the meeting, which also reflected the management’s orientation. The capital needs of more companies may need to be realized through other channels than the stock market.


  In addition, for the Growth Enterprise Market, Xu Wei analyzed that the Growth Enterprise Market will be launched when the market is stable, and it may take one or two hundred companies to launch at once when the Growth Enterprise Market is just launched, so that the market scale will rise and it is possible to trade and invest. However, the large-scale launch has great pressure on the market. Therefore, the management will first consider the opening of IPO in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets and slowly "release" the companies waiting in line for issuance. (Reporter Wang Jin)

3.5T V6 + 9AT New Nissan Tule Official Image Analysis

  [Autohome new car diagram] (|) was once a popular off-road weapon. The non-load-bearing body, large-displacement self-priming engine, and OurHours four-wheel drive made it famous at that time. However, in recent years, the old competitors have ushered in a succession of replacements, and the configuration and fuel consumption have been greatly improved. At the same time, the hardcore off-road vehicles of Chinese brands are also making continuous progress. For various reasons, Tule’s life is not easy. Finally, on September 4, Beijing time, Tule officially released a new generation of models, code-named Y63. The new car has been fully upgraded in terms of appearance, interior and power. It is planned to be the first to be launched in the Middle East and North American markets by the end of 2024. In this article, we will first take a static tasting.

  The Nissan Toula was born in 1951. It was selected as a police vehicle for its outstanding passing performance in the early days. Later, it won the championship in the Dakar Rally and made it famous. It was gradually sold to various countries around the world. Over the years, this car has become more and more fashionable and refined while continuing its off-road performance. Today, 73 years later, the Toula has finally ushered in the 7th generation model, codenamed Y63.

● Middle East version (tail label PATROL)

  Although the Nissan Toule Middle East version and the US version have different tail labels, the appearance and interior design are almost identical. Since most of the versions that have entered the country in the past are tail labels PATROL, this article mainly introduces the Middle East version, while the US version is only for simple display.

Autohome

  The new Tule has the latest family design, the top of the split headlight is connected to the decorative strip to form a through style, the size of the air intake grille is further increased, and the horizontal design surrounding the interior also widens the visual effect. The overall appearance is still square, the line design is also very tough, and the aura is quite sufficient.

  Although the overall contour of the new Tule is still tough, the design of the details is obviously more delicate than the previous model. The logo is the latest flat style, and the interior also supports lighting. The daytime running lights are also upgraded from granular LED light sources to light strips, and the visual effect is much more delicate. At the same time, the headlights are also equipped with ADB adaptive high beam function, which can realize high-level functions such as avoiding direct shooting at the front car and picking up street signs.

Autohome

  The front and rear of the car are square, the cabin cover and the roof are also at an angle parallel to the ground, and the overall design almost does not have any complicated lines. It is still the outline of a traditional hard-core off-road vehicle, but the "floating" roof created by the visual effect still adds some fashion sense. In addition, there is no official information on the body size, but the new car is still positioned as a large SUV, which is larger than the well-known Toyota Landluzer.

  The door welcome light is projected on the ground, and the text since 1951 always reminds the car of its long history. The top model will be equipped with 22-inch double-color multi-banner style wheels, which are very delicate. And even if the wheel size is quite large, it is not abrupt on the huge body of the new Tule, and the visual effect is just right.

  The rear part of the new car adopts a through taillight design, which echoes the front of the car. The windshield wipers are hidden, and the exhaust cylinder is also hidden under the rear, the visual effect is more concise, and theoretically it can also improve the passing angle to a certain extent. Then surround the middle of the trailer hook design, after entering the country in the future, it is likely to be optional.

● US version of ARMADA

Autohome

  The US version of the new Tule and the Middle East version maintain almost the same design, even if it is the shape of the rim, "floating" roof and other details, the difference cannot be seen. However, the North American market launched the Pro-4X off-road version of the model (pictured right), which mainly upgraded the front and rear bumpers, making it have a 33.9-degree approach angle, a 25.3-degree pass angle and a 24.3-degree departure angle. In addition, the Pro-4X off-road version also has 20-inch rims, all-terrain tires, air suspension, metal anti-skid plate and rear differential lock upgrades. With the blessing of air suspension, its maximum ground clearance can be increased to 244mm, which is 53mm higher than that of the ordinary version.

Xu Jiayin encourages employees to participate in Hengchi 5 sales: Hengda property personnel place orders out of their own pockets for car sales

  On August 1, Hengchi 5, the first model of Hengchi Automobile, officially opened Dading: that is, customers who have paid a deposit of 1,000 yuan in the pre-sale stage can be converted into "Dading" customers who pay 9,000 yuan. The first 10,000 "Dading" customers enjoy a car purchase discount of 10,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan.

  Hengda sells cars, how is the effect? According to Liu Yongzhuo, president of Hengchi Automobile, the market response of Hengchi 5 is very good, "better than expected, Hengchi’s big sale is a foregone conclusion".

  On July 29, China Evergrande announced that since the pre-sale began on July 6, as of the announcement date, the cumulative pre-sale orders of Hengchi 5 exceeded 37,000 units.

  Everything looks so beautiful, really?

  According to the Financial Union News Agency, on July 11, Evergrande Group organized a meeting of executives related to the property sector and the automotive sector. Hengda Chairperson Xu Jiayin encouraged employees to actively participate in Hengchi 5 sales at the meeting

  It is reported that on the same day, Hengda Property also issued a sales assessment task for Hengchi 5.

  After receiving the task, the property staff have turned into car sales, and the Times financial reporter found that many Hengda community property center doors are posted with Hengchi 5 advertisements. Some staff said that in order to complete the task, they booked an order for 1,000 yuan from their own pockets, and booked 2-4 orders at the same time

  So it seems that the official announcement of the 37,000 orders, there is indeed a lot of water.

  As the first product of Hengchi Automobile, Hengchi has opened pre-sale 5 days ago, the price is 179,000 yuan, and it was once called "the best pure electric SUV within 300,000" by the president of Hengchi.

  Due to the well-known situation, Hengchi sold cars and pioneered a "notarized" car purchase model , the pre-sale deposit, subscription funds and the balance are all paid to the special account established by Tianjin Jinbin Notary Office, and are subject to the supervision of the Notary Office.

  But now, ordinary consumers are still skeptical about this car. As for how many units of Hengchi 5 have been sold, I am afraid that only Hengchi will know.

Will Liu Yifei become the second Zhang Ziyi?

  Liu Yifei "Oriental Beauty" dumps Hollywood talent scouts


  Hailed by the new owner, the goal is approaching Zhang Ziyi


  William Morris Agency is one of the three major agencies in the United States, and its artists include international superstars such as Julia Roberts, Mel Gibson, and Zhang Ziyi. As soon as the news of Liu Yifei’s joining came out, it attracted extraordinary attention in Hollywood. The American media was also very interested in the same junior sister of Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, and regarded Liu Yifei as the most beautiful Chinese actress in the past 50 years. Liu Yifei also said that the cooperation with William Morris Agency can be called a good bird and a good wood.


  After the news that Liu Yifei was starring in "The King of Kung Fu" came out, many famous American agencies launched "poaching operations" against her, including CAA, one of the three major agencies in the United States that signed nearly 40 Chinese movie stars, all of which threw olive branches to Liu Yifei one after another. For a time, several major agencies began a dark battle, and finally William Morris, which had successfully packaged Zhang Ziyi, won. With its unique conditions, Liu Yifei was moved to sign a full brokerage contract, and then a beautiful and fresh oriental face was about to appear in Hollywood.


  The reporter further learned that, unlike the CAA company’s operating model, the William Morris agency has high requirements for artists and strives for excellence. At present, only Zhang Ziyi and Liu Yifei have been signed among Chinese movie stars. In addition to helping its artists pick up big-budget films from Hollywood first-line directors, the company will also carry out all-round packaging and expansion for them. For example, it has successfully lined up Zhang Ziyi to lead the lead role in "Memoirs of a Geisha", and sent Liu Yifei as the best choice for a Chinese actress to replace Zhang Ziyi. At present, 6 big movie scripts have been sent to Liu Yifei for her to choose and study.

A company spokesman said that they have been following Liu Yifei for a long time, from her dreamy and beautiful fairy sister in "Tianlong Babu" to "The Condor Hero". The company believes that Liu Yifei has an unparalleled oriental beauty, and Liu Yifei’s outstanding performance in the first Hollywood blockbuster "King of Kung Fu" made their eyes brighter, especially for the Hollywood debut. He gave his first kiss on the screen bravely, and his professionalism is amazing. It is reported that the president of US Universal Company was pleasantly surprised to see Liu Yifei’s performance in the film, saying: "Liu Yifei’s performance in’King of Kung Fu ‘this time matches that of a master director." I believe that riding the east wind of’King of Kung Fu’, with the full love of the new owner, Liu Yifei will move towards higher career goals.


  "King of Kung Fu" absolute heroine Liu Yifei is full of mystery


  In May, Jackie Chan and Jet Li will make their Hollywood debut together


  The new film "King of Kung Fu" starring Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Liu Yifei will be released in North America in April. In the film, Li Lianjie and Jackie Chan, the two kung fu emperors, face off for the first time at the peak. Liu Yifei plays the first female lead role in the film – the mysterious woman "Golden Swallow". This mysterious character has whetted the appetite of global audiences before the film’s release, and everyone is waiting to see how this new Hollywood favorite will perform in the film. In the film, Liu Yifei’s kissing scene with Hollywood star Michael Angelano is also the most anticipated by fans.


  Liu Yifei worked with Jackie Chan and Jet Li, two Chinese kung fu emperors, on her first international blockbuster film. She said that she also learned a lot while being under pressure. "Although I also took on martial arts dramas in the past, and there were martial arts movements in the middle, but this time Jackie Chan and Jet Li are all famous kung fu emperors and action masters. I felt very enjoyable to see their real and wonderful fighting movements, and my understanding of action scenes has also improved a lot." The reporter learned from Liu Yifei that Liu Yifei’s "Golden Swallow" role is quite heavy, but the film side only gave a few seconds of exposure to the character in order to maintain its "mysterious image" promotional video. However, two months before the release of "King of Kung Fu" in the United States, its posters and other posters have already begun to promote in the United States. There are only three starring characters on the posters, and Liu Yifei stands between Jackie Chan and Jet Li. The typical oriental beauty she exudes from this has also generated an appeal for American audiences and filmmakers.


  It is reported that in early May this year, Liu Yifei will also accompany Jackie Chan and Jet Li to the US premiere of "King of Kung Fu". At that time, the William Morris agency will also hold a grand ceremony to welcome Liu Yifei and Hollywood’s first electric shock.

Why does Andy Lau always make bad movies?

Text | Zhang Ying

edit | Zhao ordinary

"Andy Lau is an entertainer who is deified by all the media."

In a speech on a CCTV program in 2013, Andy Lau commented on himself. But everyone knows that the three words Andy Lau can no longer be summed up in words like "an artist".

 

"There can be people in Hong Kong who don’t know the governor, but no one doesn’t know Andy Lau." The media and the public have many similar evaluations of Andy Lau, constantly pushing him to a higher "mythical" status.

(Andy Lau’s "If Heaven Has Love")

It is undeniable that in the past 40 years of his debut, Andy Lau has many roles that everyone loves to talk about, and has also handed over many quality masterpieces such as "Infernal Affairs", "Heaven Ruoyou Love" and "Sister Tao". But at the same time,Poison Eye(WeChat ID: DomoreDumou)It seems that Andy Lau has been entangled and swayed in bad movies over the years.

A few days ago, the new film "Hot Blood Choir" that he produced and starred in was released. As of now, the box office is less than 50 million, and the rating of Douban is as low as 4.8. This result has awakened many people’s memories of "the bad movies that Andy Lau made these years."

"Buchuan Mountain Residence" is an "iconic bad movie" that he starred in that caused audiences to complain and bad reviews on a large scale. There are more films like "Ace", "Macau 3" and "My Agent Grandpa" with Douban ratings hovering around 3-5 points, and acting in movies with bad reputation. This is what happened to Andy Lau from time to time.

He himself has never been shy about this."I don’t care about scenes. I don’t dare to shoot anything except taking off my clothes."

"Stupid child" | "As long as I don’t take off my clothes, I dare to shoot"

"There is a stupid child born in the 1960s outside the quiet village." Andy Lau wrote and sang this lyric about himself.

 

Born in 1961 in a remote village in Hong Kong, Andy Lau moved to the city at the age of 6 and lived with his family in a slum called Diamond Hill. He knew how to live hard before anyone else: as a teenager, he got up at 4 a.m. to pull water and prepare to sell breakfast, helped out in his shop after school, started doing homework at 10, and slept only about four hours a night.

 

Because he had to help his family’s grocery store and the ice room deliver takeout, and the ice room was near the Jiancheng studio, Andy Lau kept an eye on the phone every day, rushing to answer when the bell rang, in order to go to the studio to deliver takeout and see more stars in the crew.

 

Perhaps because of this influence, after graduating from Secondary Five, Andy Lau applied for the wireless artist training class. At the age of 20, he entered the TVB training class and became a trainee.

 

A year later, Xu Anhua’s "Joining the Sea of Rage" began filming. One of the male leads was originally reserved for Chow Yun-fa, but Chow Yun-fa refused to play due to market considerations. After being recommended, the producers found Andy Lau. At that time, Andy Lau, who was a complete newcomer to the film, was not qualified to worry too much like Chow Yun-fa and firmly seize this precious role opportunity.

"Go to the Sea of Anger" won the earth-shattering wins, good reputation at the same time, also won the box office revenue of 15 million Hong Kong dollars, in 1982, this is the absolute head of the hit film, and the newcomer Andy Lau also took this hit, won the Academy Award "Best New Actor" nomination.

(Andy Lau starred in the 1982 film "Joining the Sea")

Perhaps it was because "Go to the Sea of Rage" allowed Andy Lau to dig the first "diamond", and then he buried his head on the "Diamond Mountain".But in this process, there will also be a lot of "sand and gravel".

 

According to incomplete statistics, in the four years from 1988 to 1992, Andy Lau almost made more than 10 movies every year. And among these huge numbers of movies, there are many bad movies that have long been forgotten in the corner.

 

Asked by the media in 2005 why he was making 12 films a year, Andy Lau replied: "I knew at that time that if I wanted to stay in the entertainment industry, I had to take more roles. No matter what, I had to make an impression on everyone, and I had to be firmly tied to everyone’s heart."

 

As a newcomer to the film industry, Andy Lau, who is in his twenties, had to film.

 

In the 1980s, the annual production of Hong Kong films remained at around 100, the total output value of films was once the first in Asia and the second in the world (after the United States). A large number of Hong Kong directors rose, and various types of films such as martial arts, action and comedy were produced. For Lau Dehua, it was a good time. The booming Hong Kong film market gave him the opportunity to make intensive films.

 

"In Hong Kong you can shoot three movies at the same time, shoot this one in the morning, change to another one tomorrow, and go home at night." Behind this "everything" mirrors the fierce competition behind the booming Hong Kong film market.

 

Andy Lau’s "opponents" include Zhou Yun-fat, Miao Qiaowei and Tang Zhenye, who are already famous in the market and have box office in the radio training class, as well as Leung Chaowei and Zhou Xingchi, who are in the late class.

 

Only by constantly shooting can Andy Lau catch up with the ever-changing market.Bad movies also became the "fate" he never got rid of in the process of running and catching up.

Businessperson | "Not so artistic, I love money"

"Stupid kid" Andy Lau also has smart things.

 

Perhaps the 15 million Hong Kong dollar of "Go to the Angry Sea" is too charming, and the smart Andy Lau smelled the huge opportunity of the film market. Obviously, this is a broader and more charming blue ocean.

"In the early 1990s, Andy Lau felt that he knew a lot about movies and wanted to try his hand at filming, so he set up a joint venture with a telecommunications company in Hong Kong," Jin Yan, who has worked with him for many years, told the media publicly.

From then on, Andy Lau assumed the role of a businessperson.

 

(Andy Lau concert)

As a novice businessperson, Andy Lau did not go well. He invested in several films using expensive big-name actors such as Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung, and Guan Zhilin. The film "The Legend of War" (1992) alone had an investment of 60 million Hong Kong dollars, but in the end, the box office was only over 12 million.

 

By 1995, Andy Lau had lost more than 40 million yuan.

 

"From 1995 to the middle of 2000, all the scenes I made were used to pay off debts."Andy Lau once said in an interview. During this period, Andy Lau starred in a large number of films with poor reputation, such as "Ambition of Heaven and Earth" (1997), "Love Dream" (1999) and "Battle to the Top of Forbidden" (2000).

 

(Andy Lau’s "Love Dream")

After being in huge debt, the 40-year-old Andy Lau had to take a photo.

 

However, after the money was paid, Andy Lau still did not give up his film business. In 2002, he founded Yingyi Entertainment Co., Ltd. This time, Andy began to turn his attention to newcomers: in 2005, his Yingyi Entertainment launched the "Asian Rising Star Direction" program, in which Andy alone paid about 25 million Hong Kong dollars to film six emerging directors.

 

At that time, the list of new directors was now the big director Ning Hao. In 2006, Ning Hao used the 3.50 million invested by Andy Lau to shoot the box office 23.50 million work "Crazy Stone". Director Ning Hao had his own famous work and helped businessperson Andy Lau make money.

 

Unfortunately, of the six films that Andy Lau invested in, the other five lost money. Some were thrown away after filming, some were not released after filming, and some were begged for mercy halfway through the shooting: "Please don’t shoot it, okay?"

 

In the following years, Andy Lau’s company invested in many films, and he often starred in films he invested in in addition to his status as a producer and producer. Among them, there were many masterpieces such as "Sister Peach", and of course, there would also be films with general reputation such as "My Agent Grandpa" and "I Know Women’s Hearts".

(Andy Lau’s "Sister Tao")

 

Bad movies became part of Andy Lau’s businessWhen asked by the media "Don’t you think you are an artist?", Andy Lau could only answer with a smile: "I don’t count, I’m not that artistic, I love money."

Favors | Andy Lau of "On Call"

In the days when Andy Lau was desperately filming to pay off his debts, a familiar figure often appeared in his works: Wang Jing.

 

In those years, Wang Jing would find Andy Lau to act in a suitable film, giving him a lot of help when he was eager to make money. So in many public occasions later, Andy Lau would speak for Wang Jing without hesitation: "I came out of making the bad movies you said. Director Wang Jing gave his all for his movies, which is worthy of our admiration."

 

(Andy Lau and Wang Jing)

"Sometimes, for example, meeting Wang Jing may be too good a friend. I don’t know if this is good or not. I think sometimes some human favors are necessary for people."

 

Andy Lau repaid the money debt and owed the "love debt".

 

Not only Wang Jing, in the 1980s, when Andy Lau experienced being "hidden", he also received a lot of help from Hong Jinbao. After that, Andy Lau has been recalling the love of that year. Even Hong Jinbao himself lamented that he has won many celebrities, and it is difficult for most people to find them to make movies after they become popular, but there is another Andy Lau who is "on call".

 

(Andy Lau and Samuel Hung)

In this way, for the sake of favor, Andy Lau, who is about to turn 60, still had to shoot.

When he recorded the program "Zhiyun Dinner" in his early years, Andy Lau said that he was very eccentric, "friends will help you when you are busy."

When Zhang Weijian’s investment failed and he was facing bankruptcy, he asked Andy Lau to borrow money for help. Andy Lau generously helped him and told him that what he learned should be taught, and what he earned should be given to others.

Perhaps it was because he was helped by too many people in his early years that Andy Lau, who became famous, did not hesitate to assist filmmakers.Helping to play a "bad movie" is also one of the ways.

The 2013 release of "Tianji Fuchun Mountain Residence" (3 points on Douban) was the darkest moment for Andy Lau’s film reputation. Every time he attended an event, he had to face questions from the media "why did you accept this film".

When filming "The Founding of a Nation", Han Sanping took Sun Jianjun (the director of "Fuchun Mountain Residence") to see Andy Lau. At first, he asked Andy Lau to be the director. Andy Lau thought his directing ability was limited and refused, but in the process, Andy Lau and Sun Jianjun established a friendship.

 

Andy Lau said in an interview,"Just like a group of friends, the audience should not think so much about why, it is actually that simple."

Is the second generation of entertainment still a star? Investigation on the current situation of celebrity children

 



Rich girls also break into the entertainment circle



It’s too early to be famous!


  3 Huang Zhiqing


  "Princess" selected by Stickmen "Prince"


  Identity: Huang Rihua Daughter Age: 19 years old


  Star potential: ★★★★☆.


  Taiwan Province’s super-popular idol group Stickmen held a concert in Hongkong earlier, which attracted thousands of girls to join in, while Stickmen member "Prince" held a beautiful female fan’s hand for a week and hugged deeply during her solo show. This lucky "princess" who was favored by "Prince" was Felix Wong Yat Wa and his wife Liang Jiehua’s baby daughter Huang Zhiqing.


  Felix Wong Yat Wa always dotes on her daughter and takes her everywhere in idolize. TWINS took her daughter to chase TWINS when she first debuted, and chased S.H.E when she grew up. Now that her daughter is 19 years old and slim, the 24-year-old father still drove her to Stickmen. "I sent my daughter to the concert that day. When I entered the venue, someone asked if I would mind letting my daughter go on stage. My daughter has been chasing Stickmen for two years and likes them very much." Felix Wong Yat Wa was generous when she talked about her daughter’s attention. When the reporter praised Huang Zhiqing’s outstanding appearance and qualified to enter the entertainment circle, Felix Wong Yat Wa did not reject it. "She should finish reading the book first. In fact, my daughter likes acting very much, but she plays a stage play instead of a TV series. I have been to see her performance and she played well. "


  4 Miao Tong


  Little "school flower" has no intention of choosing Hong Kong sister.


  Identity: Michael Miu Daughter Age: 18 years old.


  Star potential: ★★★★★


  Michael Miu and Qi Meizhen were a couple of golden couple when they were young. Their daughters inherited their parents’ excellent genes, and they became the "beauty queen" of the school at a young age, which was very popular with male students.


  In order to raise a pair of precious children, Michael Miu and Qi Meizhen did not hesitate to give up their acting career in their early years. Under the careful guidance of their parents, Miao Tong, now 18, and Miao Jun, now 15, are obedient, and Miao Tong, who looks very much like Qi Meizhen’s daughter, is very popular with male students. A reporter from Hong Kong followed suit and found that Miao Tong, as the "school flower", often had a male classmate with small eyes to escort him around.


  At the registration stage of "Hong Kong Sister" this year, it was once reported that Miao Tong would run for Hong Kong Sister. When Qi Meizhen attended a public event, she said that her daughter was not interested in the entertainment circle. "I am so angry with my daughter. After reading the report, she asked me what is’ the front belly of the bus’? Later, I learned that she meant’ a lot of prospects’, and my daughter is now preparing to go to college. I was scared all day when I heard that I chose Hong Kong sister. My daughter would better go to school and not be photographed by paparazzi. "


  Children’s group


  1 Chen Kangdi


  A "hipster" who became a designer before her mother


  Identity: Eason Chan Daughter Age: 4 years old.


  Star potential: ★★★★★


  Chen Kangdi, who has long hair, has become a "hipster girl" under the creation of Xu Haoying, a "hipster mom" who has always studied fashion clothes. She has a beautiful appearance and knows how to draw and dance ballet. She is both a writer and a dancer, and her father is a "big brother" in Hong Kong’s music scene. Xiaokangdi is naturally favored by advertisers. It is said that the value of advertisements in Chen Kangdi is as high as HK$ 2.5 million. Eason Chan said that if his daughter is interested in advertising, he will not object, but he still thinks it is too hard to be an artist. He hopes her daughter can study hard and lead an ordinary life.


  Chen Kangdi, who is only 4 years old, participated in the "I want to be a designer" taught by He Zhien himself earlier. Many children’s hair in the class was stained with paint, but Xiaokangdi was very calm and had a good idea of color matching. He painted the paper skirt and decorated it with small shells, which was praised by He Zhien for its creativity. At a fashion show specially designed for children, Xiaokangdi put on a skirt designed by herself to walk the catwalk.


  2 Xie Zhenxuan


  More suitable for entertainment than grandpa and dad.


  Identity: Nicholas Tse son Age: 2 years old.


  Star potential: ★★★★★★★


  Because both parents are big stars, Xie Zhenxuan’s gestures have been widely reported since his birth, and his clothes have become a trend indicator, such as Nike sneakers and Bathing Ape hats. Nicholas Tse once blew himself up that his son was worth 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which was higher than himself: "I might scare you to death if I told him. Someone once offered him eight figures to advertise, but I didn’t want him to walk back to his parents’ road." An advertiser confirmed that Nicholas Tse’s statement was true: "There are often manufacturers who want to find Lucas to advertise through us, and there are indeed large brands that bid more than HK$ 10 million. Unfortunately, they were all rejected by Nicholas Tse. He said that he should at least wait until his son is sensible. " To this end, Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse also had a big fight.


  The advertisement was not made, but it didn’t affect Lucas’ exposure at all. His mother often took him everywhere to play, while his grandmother took him everywhere to drink tea and shop. Lu-cas had already trained very professionally, and he was never afraid to see reporters’ "long guns and short guns", but he would cry if the camera didn’t shoot him. Cecilia Cheung once said that Lucas has the talent to be a star, and he will be more popular than grandpa and dad. Grandma praised him for his musical talent, which was better than his father Nicholas Tse.


  3 Ren Qingjia


  Little princess who loves to walk the catwalk.


  Identity: Yam Tat-wah Daughter Age: 4 years old.


  Star potential: ★★★★★★★


  Yam Tat-wah and Sophia Kao’s daughter, Ren Qingjia, are really beautiful. Some time ago, their family of three went to Guangzhou to "chase" Jay Chou, and Xiao Qingjia, sitting in the VIP seat, attracted many people’s attention.


  Ren Qingjia is deeply loved by her parents, and she is a model of Yam Tat-wah who loves photography. Since childhood, her father recorded her growth with a camera, and she was used to showing herself in front of the camera, and even picked up the camera to take pictures herself. Yam Tat-wah was full of praise for her daughter’s "photography", saying that her composition was very special and her idea was very good.


  With a supermodel mother as an example, Ren Qingjia, who loves beauty, began to walk the catwalk at the age of 3. One day, at the age of 3, she went to the street with her mother and grandmother. Originally, she always wanted her mother to hold her, but suddenly she asked to walk in the fields, and then she swaggered up as a model on the road to give full play to her acting talent. In fact, not only the catwalk on the road, but also many fashion shows have invited Xiao Qingjia to make a guest appearance, but all of them have been blocked by their eager parents. "It’s best not to, don’t, don’t even sing. If the daughter goes to film, there will be fewer opportunities to meet. Besides, filming is too hard, and there are day shifts and night shifts. Girls should not stay up all night. I just want my daughter to be healthy. I don’t even let them visit my own filming. It doesn’t matter if you call me autocratic. " Yam Tat-wah said this in an interview.


  ● Reporter’s viewpoint


  Be an ordinary person.


  ■ Kaka


  I’m glad to see that the children whose parents are stars are slim and graceful now, and I’m glad that none of them have dreams of becoming stars again. They inherited their parents’ excellent genes, so they are either hot and beautiful, or they have some extraordinary talents in music and acting, but they only regard this as a kind of interest and hobby. Instead of living in the public eye like their parents, they should be happy and ordinary people.


  In the past, we always liked to use the word "family", including a family of performers, singers and movies. Indeed, there are many big stars in the entertainment circle now. Their parents are stars themselves, such as Nicholas Tse, Fang Zuming and Ceng Baoyi. My father’s shadow may have brought convenience to them when they made their debut, but their ultimate success depends on their own efforts. In fact, what more second-generation celebrities see is not the glamour of the entertainment circle, but the pain that their parents have been followed by paparazzi and the despair that life has no privacy. In today’s era of individuality and freedom, this may be more unbearable than having no money. As a result, the children of these stars are far away from Hong Kong to study abroad, living a rich life of ordinary people and enjoying the freedom that their parents have always hoped for. Parents who are stars also agree with their children’s choice, because they have suffered too much in the entertainment circle and shed too many tears that others can’t see.


  In this era of fast food, entertainment stars are definitely fast-moving consumer goods. What we want to see are some new faces and voices that can cheer us up. As for who she and her parents are, we don’t care.
