Pursuant to the Reorganisation, the Company transferred its entire shareholding interest in Lai Sun Development Company Limited (“LSD”) (approximately 36.72% of the issued share capital of LSD) to LSG in exchange for LSG’s entire shareholding interest in Lai Fung Holdings Limited (“Lai Fung”) (approximately 40.58% of the issued share capital of Lai Fung). In order to account for the difference between the agreed value of the LSD shares and the Lai Fung shares being swapped, the Company further agreed to pay to LSG an additional cash of approximately HK$178.4 million, out of which HK$100 million was paid upon completion of the Reorganisation and the remaining approximately HK$78.4 million to be paid, without interest, six months after the completion of the Reorganisation. eSun Holdings Limited Annual Report 2010 5 LOW Chee Keong Chairman Immediately following the completion of the Reorganisation, the group structure involving LSG, LSD, the Company and Lai Fung has become as follows: CChhaaiirmaann’ss SSttaattemeennt LSG 47.97% LSD 36.08% Company 40.58% Lai Fung eSun Holdings Limited 6 Annual Report 2010 As a result of the Reorganisation, the cross-shareholding structure between the Company CChhaairmmaann’ss SSttaatteemmeennt and LSD that existed since 2004 was dismantled. The Reorganisation simplified the ownership structure of the Company and LSD, and eliminated the circular effect of the accounting treatment of the cross-holding. By dismantling this structure, the magnifying effect of the cross-held shareholding interests has been eliminated upon completion of the Reorganisation. More importantly, the directors of the Company (“Directors”) believe that the simplified shareholding structure provides greater clarity to shareholders and the market with regard to the core business of each of the companies. The Company has become the controlling shareholder of Lai Fung, which has a well- established portfolio of property interests in the Mainland of China. The Company thus shares the results of Lai Fung as an associate (as that expression is used in the context of the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards) of the Company. OVERVIEW OF ANNUAL RESULTS For the year ended 31 December 2010, the Group recorded a turnover of HK$459,020,000 (2009: HK$359,455,000), representing an increase of approximately 27.7% from the previous year. For the year 2010, except for film production and distribution, there were increases in revenue across most of our media and entertainment business operations, namely entertainment event income, music production and distribution and film library licensing income. The increase in entertainment event income over the previous year was mainly due to the Group organising larger scale concerts in the year as compared to the smaller events in the previous year. The increase in revenue for music production and distribution was due to higher album sales in 2010. The decrease in revenue for film production and distribution was largely due to the comparatively lower revenue from the films released in 2010. For the year ended 31 December 2010, the Group recorded a loss from operating activities of HK$269,069,000 (2009: a loss of HK$422,013,000). During the year, the increase in revenue of certain business operations was accompanied by corresponding increases in related cost/expenditure. The Group recognised a fair value loss on a put option of HK$25,356,000 (2009: HK$118,328,000) in 2010. Further details of the put option are set out in below Business Review under the heading of “EAST (Holdings)’s put option”. For the year ended 31 December 2010, the Group recorded a share of profits of associates of HK$541,685,000 (2009: HK$521,276,000). Prior to the Reorganisation, the Group held approximately 36.72% shareholding interest in LSD, which in turn held approximately 36.08% shareholding interest in the Group. Following the Reorganisation, the Group holds approximately 40.58% shareholding interest in Lai Fung while the Group ceased to hold any shareholding interest in LSD. Following the completion of the Reorganisation on 30 September 2010, LSD ceased to be an associate of the Company and Lai Fung has become an associate of the Company. Accordingly, the share of profits of associates during the year was mainly attributable to (i) LSD for the period up to 30 September 2010; and (ii) Lai Fung for the period since 1 October 2010. For the year under review, LSD and Lai Fung contributed HK$402,681,000 (including cross-shareholding effects) and HK$139,660,000 to the Group’s share of profits of associates, respectively. eSun Holdings Limited Annual Report 2010 7 For the year, the Group’s share of the losses of jointly-controlled entities was CChhairrmmaann’ss HK$31,353,000, as compared to a reported loss of HK$43,313,000 for the previous SSttaatteemment year. The decrease in share of losses of jointly-controlled entities was attributable to the decrease in losses of the MSC project. Finance costs during the year increased to HK$7,226,000 (2009: HK$6,758,000). Further, as a result of the completion of the Reorganisation, the Group booked a one- off gain of HK$610,007,000. The Group recorded a profit for the year (before non- controlling interests) of HK$842,777,000 (2009: HK$49,038,000).

  • Shadowrun: Hong Kong
    SHADOWRUN HONG KONG MEL ODOM BASED ON A STORY BY HAREBRAINED SCHEMES PROLOGUE RAYMOND BLACK The Redmond Barrens Seattle United Canadian and American States 2044 I’ll never forget the night I met Raymond Black, mostly because I’d believed Duncan was going to die and leave me all alone. Raymond Black changed that. He changed a lot of things. Me and Duncan, we’d been alone for a long time. I was a couple years older than him, so I could remember back farther than he could, but every time I did, all I could recall were the foster homes I got bounced out of regularly. The longest I’d ever stayed in one was with the Croydon family for two years. They taught me how to pick pockets, hotwire a car, fight with a blade, and pick a lock. When I turned thirteen, I used those skills to get away from them and escape into the shadows. A few months after that, I found Duncan Wu living on dumpster food in an alley. He hadn’t run away from his foster home to find something better. He’d run for his life. His foster parents had set up a deal to sell him and the three other kids to a sex slave ring. He was the only one who’d gotten away. Part of me wanted to leave him there, but I couldn’t because I knew from the shape he was in, starving and covered in sores, he wouldn’t make it on his own. So I’d taken him with me, fed him, sheltered him, and gotten him as healthy as we could be under the circumstances.

  • Aspects of Chinese Cinema Today
    Aspects of Chinese Cinema Today By Toh, Hai Leong Spring 1997 Issue of KINEMA 1. THE TAIWANESE ANTONIONI: TSAI MING-LIANG’S DISPLACEMENT OF LOVE IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT NO, Tsai Ming-liang is not in fact Taiwanese. The bespectacled 40-year-old bachelor was born in Kuching, Sarawak (East Malaysia) and only came to Taiwan for a college education. After graduating with a degree in drama and film in Taiwan’s University, he settled there and impressed critics with several experimental plays and television movies such as Give Me A Home (1988), The Happy Weaver(1989), My Name is Mary (1990), Ah Hsiung’s First Love(1990). He made a brilliant film debut in 1992 with Rebels Of The Neon God and his film Vive l’amour shared Venice’s Golden Lion for Best Film with Milcho Manchevski’s Before The Rain (1994). Rebels of the Neon God, a film about aimless and nihilistic Taipei youths, won numerous awards abroad: Among them, the Best Film award at the Festival International Cinema Giovani (1993), Best Film of New Director Award of Torino Film Festival (1993), the Best Music Award, Grand Prize and Best Director Awards of Taiwan Golden Horse Festival (1992), the Best Film of Chinese Film Festival (1992), a bronze award at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 1993 and the Best Director Award and Leading Actor Award at the Nantes Festival des Trois Continents in 1994.(1) For the sake of simplicity, he will be referred to as ”Taiwanese”, since he has made Taipei, (Taiwan) his home. In fact, he is considered to be among the second generation of New Wave filmmakers in Taiwan.

This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Does Time Heal?: Cinematic Reconstruction of Historical Trauma in Twenty-first Century China By Shiya Zhang Bachelor of Arts., Jilin University, 2004 Supervisory Committee Dr. Richard King, Supervisor (Department of Pacific and Asian Studies) Dr. Katsuhiko Endo, Departmental Member (Department of Pacific and Asian Studies) iii Supervisory Committee Dr. Richard King, Supervisor (Department of Pacific and Asian Studies) Dr. Katsuhiko Endo, Departmental Member (Department of Pacific and Asian Studies) Abstract While the whole world is talking about China’s rise in wealth and power, most focus has been placed on understanding China’s present policies and future orientations. However, very little attention is devoted to examining how historical consciousness affects present China. People take for granted that the past—particularly the landmark traumas of the communist decades— is a far-reaching historical discontinuity, and that China’s profound changes in every aspect of society have rendered the past increasingly irrelevant. However, this thesis argues that this assumption is wrong. This thesis explores the ways that Chinese filmmakers rearticulate the historical traumas which continue to affect Chinese society in the post-WTO era.

In recent years, there has been much research and theory on western film music, especially the Hollywood film industry, by musicologists and scholars in film studies, popular music studies, and other fields. However, there has been little research on Hong Kong Film music, the system of which is different from that of western film music, and therefore I will apply basic film music concepts, but using the real situation of Hong Kong film music to formulate my own argument. The methodology used in this thesis will include the application of basic concepts used by scholars of film music, such as the functions of music in film, combined with fieldwork and analysis of films.
