  • And Shot in Hong Kong in May 2014
  • This film Showed the beautiful and different sides of Hong Kong
  • And it explored various parts of the Hong Kong city such as Lan Kwai Fong, Central to Chungking Mansions and Temple Street

  • The first one is Revitalize HK film industry
  • Hong Kong was hailed as Eastern Hollywood
  • And the Film industry thrived in 1980s
  • But now film industry is declining
  • The reason is Many filmmakers are lacks money to make fabulous and professional films
  • Many filmmakers have their dream but they cannot achieve because they have no enough opportunities to make films
  • Therefore, I think Government should sponsor the industry to help to develop this industry
  • As a result, Hong Kong will produce more good film
  • The second one is Promote HK’s culture
  • Many foreigners have a little knowledge of Hong Kong
  • If Government’s financial support helps filmmakers to produce qualified film
  • So Many Foreigners watch HK’s movies
  • From Hong Kong movies, they would Learn more about HK’s culture
  • Also, HK can promote soft power worldwide like what Korean government has done
  • Even beneficial to HK’s tourism development
