In the box room, Qiu Mada put a CD into the record player, and the rhythmic and bright guitar prelude sounded.

"Walking in the wilderness,

I want to find a tree to live in~~
There is sunshine, there is running water,
There is also the breeze blowing~~~ How to face this unknown everything,
Let your mind settle down..."

Childlike innocence with a bit of a sense of relaxed and lively girls' campus folk songs sounded, and the fresh style of music is particularly full of "childlike innocence" Hong Kong.

"It's a nice song."

When Zhou Huimin heard the music, he liked it quite a bit: "Cheer's music, right? She and her band sang in the bar, and gained many fans of literary boys and girls."

"Is this folk song style much better than a certain folk song queen?" Qiu Mada joked with a smile.

"........."

Zhou Huimin was obedient and didn't talk to him. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the silhouettes of several people inside the box, and said in a low voice, "I'm going to order takeaway, what do you want to eat? BBQ is good?"

"Let me accompany you, it's dangerous at night."

Qiu Shuzhen glanced at the naive opponent, blinked her eyes slightly, not sure whether the opponent was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, and finally glanced across the opponent's lower abdomen, keeping her expression on.

She is a person who comes here.

It is natural to know the other party's pregnancy reaction, although the other party is not obvious.But a woman's sixth sense is so illogical-as for who sowed the seeds, do you even need to ask?

She had a little taste for this, but she could accept it.

Obviously his own is Qingmei, so why is he no match for Wang Zuzhuan, a descendant from heaven? ?

"By the way, Vivian, I watched your performance of "New Love", and I was really touched." Qiu Shuzhen said with a smile.

"The main reason is that brother Andy is good at directing, and director Xiaobao is really good at directing scenes." Zhou Huimin blushed and said, "I was NG many times when I was filming, it's so embarrassing."

"No, I think it's really good."

"I recently had contact with an acting teacher..."

"Do you want to act in a TV series?"

"TV drama?"

"Yeah, it's like "Sex and the City"... Zhang Min, Li Jiaxin, Gao Lihong and the others acted together. How about we try it too?" Qiu Shu really didn't mean to drink.

"Okay, but maybe the latest schedule is too late." Zhou Huimin's ears felt hot when he lied.

Mainly during pregnancy~~~
Movies and TV dramas are actually two distinct circles in this era. It can be said that movie actors are born at a higher level than TV drama actors, and at the same time—the latter earn dozens or even hundreds or thousands of times.

There is no way, these days Hong Kong TV dramas are basically dominated by TVB and ATV, the salary of the latter is not bad, but the former is really bleak!

Later, pillars like Ouyang Pangpang said in interviews that "the income of TVB filming is not as good as that of salespersons", which is why TVB can't keep people.

No way, the pay is indeed too low.

Later generations of TVB actors really felt what it means to be rich and powerful after they went to the north.TVB at this time is really 'women are used as men, and men are used as livestock'.

However, "Sex and the City" can be regarded as the first time that a top actress in the film industry has "returned" to act in a TV series.

Although Wang Zuchen's film salary is a friendly price, basically the cost of a single episode reaches 6 Hong Kong dollars per episode. In the first season, there are more than 20 episodes, and the level of more than 100 million is also in line with her social status. This price basically reaches Zhao Yazhi's level.

The success of "Sex and the City" brought this model to the television industry.

Although it didn't catch fire, I have to admit that the effect is there...especially Zhongtian Satellite TV's famous "big head contract" is willing to pay a high price, which has also caused many actors, producers, directors and staff of TVB and ATV They all quit.

But to a certain extent, it did promote the enthusiasm of the TV drama market in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Especially the idol dramas they are good at - the biggest effect is to drag the young people who are the main force of watching movies in front of the TV!
This actually affects the film market to a certain extent.

Don't be funny.

Young people are the main group of movies.

But the biggest advantage of idol dramas is to harvest fans' economy while making stars. Fans will spend real money on idols' surroundings. This will naturally drain their pockets, and it is normal to miss one or two movies. something happened.

Moreover, the plot of the idol drama is also in line with their state of mind when their youth hormones are beating, so naturally the investment in the movie will be reduced.

Liu Dehua?
Guo Fucheng?
Li Ming?

Of course, you can also support them, but idols like F4 seem to be more in line with them~~~ The cross-age dimensionality reduction blow of idol idol traffic.

Zhang Xueyu: MMP doesn't mention Lao Tzu!Eat shit on you!
"Want a plate?"

At the entrance of the shop in Wanchai, the two of them just walked out when they saw many young people gathered in the corner happily buying 'VCD' discs.

"Look, take a look, the VCD player, the price is half the price of the video tape player, but it is more exquisite and compact, and it is really high-tech. It is easy to carry—"

"Authentic American products, VCD player and CD, the price is reasonable and fair."

"A collection of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing series, come quickly!"

"VCD player changes your life style!"

Unknowingly, several directly-operated stores of VCD players and CDs appeared in Wanchai, which attracted the attention of many young people.

The price of a VCD player is very cheap compared to ordinary video recorders.Of course, VCD discs have limited resolution due to technical reasons. Of course, if you want higher resolution, you can watch other versions of DVD players.

That's right, the DVD is actually in the hands, but it is a high-end product.

What can really attract the general public is the low-priced VCD. In this era, audiences care not only about the visual experience, but also the low price and the cost of watching the video.

VCD meets the requirements of ordinary citizens.

This cheap way of watching movies in Hong Kong Island is quietly changing the living habits of young people.

Many young men and women used to go to the cinema for dates.

After all, VCR players are expensive, and the price/performance ratio is not high in comparison.But with the emergence of VCD, young lovers found that the feeling of two people renting a few discs and cats watching movies at home seems to be very good——

Many golden left-handed single men feel that there are no other disadvantages other than spending money.

And it's easy to hide... Just put the disc on the big wardrobe, and no one will notice it: Who knows how many children born in the 80s and 90s have their parents' private CDs for their physical enlightenment! ?
At this time, no one realized that a small VCD would bring disaster to the film market.

As the saying goes, it is not necessarily your peers who beat you.

Filmmakers would never have imagined that small discs would become the real backhand for hitting the film market.

In fact, neither the TV market nor VCD is the real culprit—arrogance is!
