In general, crosstalk was a kind of entertainment and spiritual food when people's cultural and entertainment life was still poor in the early years. It was like storytelling, big drums, quick-paced, ten-not-idle, lotus fall and other forms of folk art.

As people's cultural and entertainment level improves, similar forms of folk art will naturally be gradually eliminated. Even if there are occasionally talents like Guo Degang, it is difficult to revitalize an industry.

This is why after Guo Degang became famous, there were so many crosstalk actors in China. Even though Deyun Club had hundreds of students, no newcomer who was more famous than Guo Degang and even comparable to him appeared.

This phenomenon is absolutely impossible to see in a booming industry.

Just like the Hong Kong movies in the 1970s, Bruce Lee was very popular, but the Xu brothers soon appeared. After a few years of popularity, Cheng Long became famous with his kung fu comedy.

In the 1980s and 1990s, when Hong Kong films were in full swing, stars emerged one after another. Hong Jingbao, Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua, Zhang Guorong, Zhou Xingchi...

Because a booming industry will attract a large amount of funds and talents. It is easy to win together and promote stars.

Just like the traffic stars in recent years, they are simply a cross-border carp. From the four returning home to the TFBYS to the Nine Percent, the lineup has changed almost every year.

But the crosstalk industry is just the opposite. Guo Degang became popular in 2005 and has been around for fourteen years, and he is still the most popular in the crosstalk world. Obviously, crosstalk is in a period of decline.

For an industry that is gradually declining, either do not get involved in it for safety reasons, so as not to be dragged down; or seize the last ray of afterglow and drain its surplus value.

Xia Tian couldn't do anything like catching a toad and snatching a platinum. Instead of making Guo Degang famous and letting him make money through crosstalk, he would be better off giving the money to a few new directors. At that time, as long as he had a Ningxia, his investment would be rewarded.

...

On June 30th, he left Yanjing in summer and arrived in Shenzhen.

A few hours later, he would sit at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and witness history with hundreds of millions of people.

In fact, in my previous life, summer had already witnessed the return of Hong Kong.

However, he was still very young at that time and did not know much about the whole thing. In addition, after decades, his impression had long been very blurred.

But now, he will witness the grand occasion of Hong Kong's return with his own eyes, which is naturally incomparable.

"Mr. Xia, our funds and media are ready. We will immediately encircle and suppress British capital after Hong Kong returns." In the hotel, the managers of various departments of the Tianxia Group said solemnly to Xia Tian.

"Very good. The British consortium has been doing great things in Hong Kong for a long time. Now the feng shui has changed, and it's finally us!" Xia Tian raised his hands and said, "From tomorrow, we will launch an encirclement and suppression of the British consortium and completely overturn their monopoly position. And the first step is to start with the public opinion war!"

Famous division is the first step to winning the war! Even Nazhao knew that when attacking Czechoslovakia, he used the excuse of protecting the interests of German ethnic minorities in the territory of the Tris.

The United States invaded Iraq under the name of eliminating "weapons of mass destruction". As a result, after occupying Iraq, it dug three feet into the ground, but no so-called "weapons of mass destruction" was found. Poor Lao Sa died unjustly!

The British consortium has been operating in Hong Kong for nearly a hundred years and has a deep roots. It not only has a huge interest group that relies on it, but also has a very broad network of contacts.

In this case, it is naturally difficult for Xia Tianmao to rashly overturn their monopoly position. Not to mention that interest groups will resist, even the Hong Kong people may not support it.

So before the three armies move, public opinion will take the lead! First build up public opinion, make the British consortium into villains, and then unite all forces to beat the dogs. In this way, it will save a lot of trouble.

The problem of finding British consortiums is actually easy to find. Relying on the support of the British government before, British consortiums are simply arrogant and domineering in Hong Kong.

For example, at the earliest, there was only the "Hong Kong Club" in Hong Kong's stock exchange, which was completely controlled by white people. Stock brokers were also held by white people and did not accept Chinese people at all. It was very difficult for Chinese companies to go public to raise funds, which seriously affected the development of Chinese economy.

For example, the Jockey Club was not allowed to enter in the early years, and ordinary people were not allowed to participate in horse racing at all. It was not until later that the Jockey Club carried out reforms and allowed Chinese to participate.

There are also Feng Shui treasure lands like Taiping Mountain. Chinese people were not allowed to move in in the early years, and it was not until a long time later that they were opened to Chinese people for use.

Not to mention water companies, power companies, telephone companies, minibuses, ferries, subways, etc., these food, clothing, housing and transportation that are closely related to people's lives are also monopolized by British consortiums.

With their previous sins, and during the economic crisis last year, the British consortium did a series of bad things, such as shorting Hong Kong stocks, scammers of donations, raising prices, etc., it is not difficult to win this public opinion war in the summer.

"Yes, Mr. Xia." Everyone responded.

...

A few hours later, Xia Tian, ​​Wang Qixian, Xia Xue, Xia Ding and others appeared at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.

At midnight today, Hong Kong will officially return to the mainland from the British.

The exhibition center is very lively at this moment. In addition to representatives from the UK and mainland, there are also representatives from Hong Kong's local political and business circles, global media, and representatives and ambassadors from dozens of countries gathered together to witness this historic moment!

Xia Tian is the world's top rich man and media tycoon, his appearance is naturally particularly attractive.

"Mr. Xia, please tell me how you are now?" a CCTV reporter interviewed him.

"My current mood is described in four words, that is, 'blooming heart'." Xia Tian smiled, "I'm very happy to see Hong Kong returning to the embrace of the motherland with my own eyes. At the same time, I hope the two places will communicate more, communicate more, and communicate more in the future."

"Mr. Xia. What do you think about the future economic development of Hong Kong?" asked ATV reporter.

"I am cautiously optimistic about the future economic development of Hong Kong." Xia Tian responded, "Whether Hong Kong's economy can recover in the future depends on two conditions, one is the Hong Kong government and the other is the people.

The Hong Kong government should be far-sighted and formulate development plans that align with Hong Kong's long-term interests. At the same time, the people should also understand and support the decisions of the Hong Kong government.

Only by thinking together and working together can Hong Kong's economy recover. Otherwise…”

"Otherwise, Mr. Xia?" ATV reporter asked quickly.
