Chapter 971 Artist Training School?

Many people subconsciously think that Hong Kong Island does not have such colleges and universities as "Film Academy", but in fact, Hong Kong Island actually has such colleges and universities.

For example, the Hong Kong Island Academy for Performing Arts will give people this illusion, mainly because most of the Hong Kong Island stars are not from these academies, but many of them got there by scratching their heads.

In the early years, Hong Kong Island TV's artist training courses were more famous than those colleges and universities. The main reason was that there were more celebrities and stars.

Of course, this is also from a certain point of view, no matter whether the university ranks high or low, for ordinary people, if you have more famous alumni, you will naturally be more famous and more influential.

Hong Kong Island movies used to be ranked second in the world, second only to Hollywood in influence, but in the end, there were very few big stars and directors who came from Hong Kong Island's local film and television colleges.

It has to be said that, in a way, this is also an embarrassing place in the education circle of Hong Kong Island. When we talk about Hong Kong Island, we must mention the golden age of movies on Hong Kong Island. The former Oriental Hollywood, but it happened to be Eastern Hollywood. Film and television-related colleges and universities seem to be not very down-to-earth, and it is always difficult to produce that kind of "practical" talents.

If there are really no majors and colleges in this area, then it is nothing, but in fact there are.

There are still many colleges and universities on Hong Kong Island that have film and television related majors, and they are also well-known colleges.

However, I don’t know why, maybe it’s because the Hong Kong Island film market is shrinking, or maybe it’s because of other reasons, anyway, there is a shortage of film talents in all aspects of Hong Kong Island.

This is actually one of the reasons why Hong Kong Island has been unable to truly integrate after turning to the mainland market.

Because of the lack of talents of the new generation.

The film and television academies in the mainland have always been known as the star reserve, and they have sent a large number of talents in various fields to the mainland film and television industry.

On the other hand, the colleges and universities on Hong Kong Island seem to have very few graduates who are well-known stars.

Especially the stars of the new generation.

However, perhaps because of historical reasons, or perhaps because of the glorious film history, many celebrities, entertainers, directors, etc. on Hong Kong Island actually have a very strong sense of regional belonging.

"Why is there a gap in the talents of film and television majors related to Hong Kong Island today? Why is it difficult for so many colleges and universities on Hong Kong Island to cultivate a few good seedlings? The artist training classes of Hong Kong Island TV Station in those days were obviously inferior in all aspects. Why are all the universities producing so many stars?" At the party, Chen Weijie asked in a puzzled manner.

"Weijie, why did you enter the artist training class back then?" You Ningsheng asked with a smile.

"I'm interested, and of course I want to make money." Chen Weijie said with a smile.

"So, in the past, artists joined the actor industry based on their interest and love of acting. In Hong Kong Island, the Hong Kong Island TV station's artist training classes were all young people who love performing arts. They may shine on the stage. Extraordinary, but very ordinary in life.

Interest is the best teacher, so they will become good actors who work hard.How many college students in colleges and universities on Hong Kong Island join this industry for the purpose of becoming actors?Their starting point is to be famous and make a lot of money.In order to be famous, he can use all means to create topic hype, flatter eyeballs everywhere, but will not work hard to improve his own business. Such an artist cannot do a good job as an actor. "

"Not only that, but different from other performing arts training classes, Hong Kong Island TV's artist training class back then not only did not charge a penny of tuition, but also because the class was held in TV City far from the city center, so as long as you come to the class, There will also be transportation subsidies and subsidies, so every time a class starts, it can attract thousands of people to sign up.

That's how it was back then. Those who worked as salesmen, carpenters, postmen, and even served sentences in prisons all became students because of their good looks or talents.However, although the entry threshold is very low, the requirements for artist training courses are very strict.

It can be said that to some extent, there is no distinction between teaching and learning, low threshold, wide entry and strict exit.

In addition, the artist training class at that time was a blood transfusion for Hong Kong Island TV, so there were a lot of opportunities to practice. Weijie, you all played tricks back then, right?But now?How many students majoring in film and television in colleges and universities have the opportunity to practice? "

"But now there are quite a few production crews starting work on Hong Kong Island every year, so it wouldn't be a waste of opportunities to practice, right?" Chen Weijie was still puzzled.

In fact, although the decline of Hong Kong films is relative, in fact, there are still many film crews in Hong Kong Island who start work every year. In addition, the old directors and actors on Hong Kong Island all go north to the mainland, and there are differences with the mainland. For those with little cooperation, it can be said that there are really opportunities for practice.

Compared with the mainland, these stars in Hong Kong Island, especially veteran stars or directors, actually like to support local newcomers.

But even so, it is still difficult to see any bright new generation of artists stand out, it has to be said that it is an embarrassing thing.

"Actually, they are all professionalized now. Unlike before, when we were in the training class, in fact, we not only learned acting, we also learned marketing, we also learned how to write scripts, and we learned how to make a movie. We have to learn lighting, that is, how we should act under the light. At that time, we learned a lot.”

"It stands to reason that more specialized learning should be more effective than what we did at the beginning, but" Chen Weijie scratched his head.

"This is really not necessarily the case. The success rate of mainland actors is not very high, but it is because the base is larger, so everyone feels that the success rate is very high. Coupled with the background of colleges and universities, the same is true for those actors. School students have much higher capital than others, so they have more opportunities." Li Yi shook his head.

In fact, this is also the case. Can one really become a star and a good actor after entering several major star universities?

Not necessarily so, it’s still the survivor’s bias. In fact, every year whether it’s the Beijing Film Academy, the Beijing Drama Academy, or the Zhonghai Drama Academy, in fact, there are only a few who are truly famous.

More are still unknown to the public, but because there are many colleges and universities in the mainland, so the base is large, so naturally there will be more talented artists.

In contrast, Hong Kong Island really cannot compare with the Mainland in this respect.

After all, how big is Hong Kong Island?

How can the population of a city compare with the population of a country?

"Then you said that our artist training school this time can do it?" Chen Weijie asked with a sigh.

Yes, this gathering, in fact, is because Chen Weijie and other veteran Hong Kong stars plan to build an artist training school.

Similar to the Hong Kong Island TV artist training class back then.

But even the promoter Chen Weijie himself has no confidence.
