Actor: My Entertainment Era

Liu Yifei rarely goes to Bay Island. Chen Yanxi said in Cannes that she was very popular in Bay Island, but she didn't take it seriously.

But the actual situation is much more exaggerated than what Chen Yanxi said. Liu Yifei is very popular in Bay Island.

Liu Yifei even has a large number of regular fans on the island.

Many fans were very excited when they learned in advance that "Super Body" would be filming in Bay Island until the filming was completed. On the day Liu Yifei landed, dozens of fans gathered at the airport to pick her up.

As we all know, media competition in the Bay Island is extremely fierce, and even small things can make news.

Fans picking up Liu Yifei's story even made the news in Bay Island. The female host and two guests even made a special show to discuss the influence of mainland stars represented by Liu Yifei in Bay Island.

"Liu Yifei came to Wandao to film a few days ago. She is so popular that the airport was crowded with fans to pick her up."

"The mainland's film industry has developed and prospered in recent years and has produced many stars. Many stars are very popular in Bay Island, such as Huang Xiaoming and Sun Li in the past two years."

"Yes, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is so popular."

"Also, let me remind everyone that Liu Yifei's husband Zhang Yuanjun is also very popular in Wandao."

The female host understood it deeply: "He is now the most popular actor in the entire Chinese-speaking market, and no one can compare with him. Professor, why do you think these mainland actors are so popular in Bay Island?"

"First of all, the mainland's film and television production and marketing levels have developed rapidly. I have data here. Last year alone, the number of Mandarin films screened in the mainland, excluding Hong Kong and Taiwan films, was more than 180 films produced and screened in the mainland. This is These are just those that have been screened. There are also many films that were filmed without obtaining a screening permit, so we won’t count them. Think about it, everyone, there are 180 films a year, an average of 15 films are screened a month, and one film is released every two days. New movies. As for TV series, I also checked the data. Last year, mainland China obtained TV series distribution licenses for 469 TV series, with a total of more than 14900 episodes.

"And the total number is still growing. With such a terrifying production level, it is very easy to win stars."

"The works that can be broadcast in the Bay Island market must be works that they think are good, such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and Zhang Yuanjun's "The Lonely Agent". To be honest, these excellent mainland film and television works, I also like to watch it very much. Then you say, people my age like to watch it, let alone young people, of course it is popular. "

"Mainland celebrities are so popular in Bay Island. Professor, are you worried about the impact on the Bay Island market? Do we in Bay Island have celebrities who can compete?"

"What's the impact? Bay Island's local market has long been conquered by Hollywood. Last year's Bay Island movie box office champion was "Transformers 3", and our only local film in the Top 10 last year was "Those Years"," said the professor. Ruthlessly unraveled the decline of the Bay Island film market.

Two others immediately echoed the score of "Those Years."

"I have long said that we in Wandao used to be the vane of entertainment in the Chinese-speaking market, but in recent years, we have indeed fallen behind. Now is the era of blockbusters, and we do not have the ability to produce a blockbuster. Just ask the boss of Wandao, Do they dare to invest US$[-] million to make a movie?”

Seeing that this professor was going to criticize the film production system of Bay Island, the host quickly brought the topic back to the stars themselves: "I see that some of our stars in Bay Island have developed very well in recent years. For example, Peng Yuyan and Zhao Youting, etc. Ruan Jingtian and Zhao Youting starred in the new film "Search" by the most famous director Chen Kaige in mainland China. Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" is still the only film in the entire history of Chinese films to win the Cannes Palme d'Or. It’s amazing to play the leading role in it.”

This program is obviously arranged. One professor is responsible for the market of Pengwan Island, and the other guest is responsible for promoting Pengwan Island movies.

"And according to media reports, Zhang Yuanjun was originally wanted to star in "Search", but he failed the director's test and was rejected." "Oh - that's it." the female host said in surprise.

"I believe you have also seen that Chao Youting fell in love with the heroine Gao Yuanyuan during the filming of "Search" and they are now dating. Gao Yuanyuan is also a very popular star in mainland China. She is called the national goddess and is as famous as the fairy sister Liu Yifei. "

After saying this, the host and another guest both laughed, as if it was a matter of great pride for one's own pigs to take away other people's good cabbages.

"Our Bay Island stars have a higher starting point for development in the mainland than their local stars. We can play the leading role right from the beginning, but their big-name actors have to play supporting roles for our young actors. This is our advantage."

"I don't very much agree with the professor's view. Indeed, on the mainland, top actors like Zhang Yuanjun are indeed very powerful, but the top ones are not universally representative. Overall, the younger generation of actors in our Bay Island They are better than those in mainland China. Ruan Jingtian won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor at the age of 28. There is no such young actor in mainland China among the 80s generation."

The professor added: "Zhang Yuanjun won the Best Actor at Cannes at the age of 24."

This……

"He already has three Best Actors in Cannes, Golden Rooster and Golden Statue. He is 3 years younger than Ruan Jingtian. It can be said that no actor in Asia has won more awards than him."

Can you still do a good show?

"So I said we won't discuss the top level, because he is not representative. And I don't agree with the mainland people who say that Zhang Yuanjun is an international superstar. We used to think that international superstars should be like Jackie Chan and Leonardo. Zhang Yuanjun has not yet broken into the core circle of actors in Hollywood, and can only play supporting roles or leading roles in some fringe themes."

"Hollywood is very careful in its selection of Asian actors."

The entire program ended in an atmosphere where one was from Pengwan Island Film and Television, and the other was from Pengwan Island Film and Television, with the latter being the main focus while not forgetting to step on the mainland film and television industry and top stars.

For example, actors from the Bay Island can play leading roles in mainland productions and have their own RVs, but mainland actors do not.

If a Bay Island actor is late, the whole crew will have to wait for him, and if a mainland actor is late, the director will scold him to death.

Bay Island actors can stay in five-star hotel suites. Even if the shooting location conditions are not that good, they can still stay in the best rooms in the best local hotels. Mainland actors do not have such treatment.

The overall salary of Bay Island actors is higher than that of actors of the same level in mainland China.

And so on.

The program constantly emphasizes the need to exclude unrepresentative mainland stars, including Zhang Yuanjun, Huang Xiaoming, Hu Ge, Chen Kun, etc. for men, and Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing, Zheng Shuang, etc. for women.

Why don't they exclude Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Jia Zhangke, and Jiang Wen, and then compare directors with Li An, Cai Mingliang, and Hou Xiaoxian. (End of chapter)
