Entertainment Achiever System

The real superstar, no matter when and where, is always the most conspicuous one. .

"I invite the reporter friends from TVB to start asking questions!"

When Chen Musheng played the role of master of ceremonies and shouted these words dryly, a thin female reporter immediately stood up and asked loudly, "I'm He Lin, a reporter from TVB Entertainment News. I would like to ask Xiao Sazi a question, what do you think of the slogan that many people are shouting now that Hong Kong movies have been revived? Do you think Hong Kong movies can return to the vitality and influence of the last century?"

"Pfft~"

Brother Xiaosa was slightly taken aback, but he didn't answer yet, but someone in the audience laughed out loud. Although the person who was snickering reacted very quickly, he immediately controlled his facial muscles as soon as he sensed something was wrong, and even He lowered his head to avoid everyone's detection, but his laughter obviously made the atmosphere of the scene a little awkward, especially the big names in Hong Kong who came to support them, they looked a little out of place, their faces It is full of complex colors.

Because the answer to this question is too obvious, there is not much room for Hong Kong movies, so how can there be so-called resurrection and development?

There is no way, the small Hong Kong Island has only a few million people, such a small market, it is impossible to support the survival of too many film companies, so the only way for Hong Kong films to survive is to export film works as much as possible. Only by seizing the living space of the film industry in other countries and regions, like Korean films, can it continue to survive and develop.

However, this is not the 8s and 90s.At that time, Asian countries, especially Southeast Asia and other ticket warehouses, basically did not have their own film industry, and they could not make any good movies. In addition, there were no policies to introduce quotas for imported movies. Therefore, Hong Kong movies can It has been brilliant for many years, and it has also created a huge name of "Oriental Hollywood".

And now, various regions and countries in Asia have successively introduced quota systems for imported films, not to mention.At the same time, they themselves began to vigorously support the film industry in their own country and region.Such as South Korea, Thailand and Malaysia and so on.

In this way, it is no longer possible for Hong Kong movies to make money in other places, no matter good or bad, as before, and they can no longer be suppressed.The local film industry has never been able to develop.It also faces competition.Compete with Hollywood, local movies.

Well, if it's just competition, then it doesn't matter.Because even if Korean movies started like this, they are still developing very prosperously.

However, Hong Kong's territory and population are too small after all, and South Korea still has a population of 5000 million!Not to mention much, at least it can barely keep the film company going, but this cannot be done in Hong Kong, because even if 110 people watch the movie, the local box office of a movie is only less than 00 million.

However, the various costs of filming in Hong Kong happen to be the highest in Asia, which makes it impossible to recover the cost locally, and can only rely on other cities.

And the foreign city...

So just like a vicious cycle, Hong Kong movies can only get worse and worse, and they will never return to the peak era of dominating the Asian film world and daring to confront Hollywood in the last century.

Who doesn't know this simple truth among the big names in the industry in Hong Kong?

Therefore, their faces were not very good-looking, and they were laughed at, making everyone even more uncomfortable.After all, they started their careers in the Hong Kong film industry. Who can stand this kind of ridicule?

"Nimma, do you still need to ask me such a simple question?"

Although a certain person didn't expect so many colleagues in the industry, at least he understands that movies need a market!

The small Hong Kong Island is bigger than the fart. In addition to making money in real estate, you will definitely lose money in movies!If the investment cannot be recovered, no one will invest, so in order to eat, the talents will all run away, either to the United States or to the mainland.

As a result, this exacerbated the deterioration of the situation. How could there be a so-called recovery?

So he glanced at the female reporter, and really wanted to say something unceremoniously: This is nothing but nonsense, and Hong Kong movies will never be revived.

But that's a coercive behavior, and he's not.

Therefore, he still said with a smile: "As for this issue, I personally don't think we should be too optimistic, because there are many reasons for the decline of Hong Kong films, such as the shrinking market, the withering of talents, and other factors. Just because the movie "The True Colors of a Man" is a big hit, you can't be optimistic that Hong Kong movies will be revived!"

Speaking of this, he shrugged his shoulders: "At the same time, I am not the owner of a film company, so you should ask Mr. Lin Xiaoming, Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang and Mr. Lin Jianyue for this question! They are the real big shots in the Hong Kong film industry .”

Although the reporter was not very satisfied with this answer, she still thanked her and sat down, because in the final analysis, Brother Xiaosa is also a mainland filmmaker, but he happened to come across this Hong Kong film, so for Hong Kong filmmakers The film industry is dead or alive, and people don't need to worry so much.

So soon, the second reporter was also called out by Chen Musheng, this is a male reporter from "Ming Pao", perhaps because of the 'backstage' Niucha, the questions he asked were much more popular—" May I ask Director Chen, what do you think of some bad reviews on the market? Some people say that the movie "The True Colors of a Man" is actually not good at all, because it has no connotation. Commercial films, compared with your previous works, there is almost no improvement, do you agree with this statement?"

I recognize you as a dick!

If it is really possible to swear, brother Xiaosha believes that Chen Musheng, whose face is full of anger and embarrassment at this time, will definitely swear like this, because this shit is just slapping people in the face.

Lao Tzu's work is obviously a commercial film that is sold all over the world, but Nima said that this film has no connotation, and it is still a commercial film that you will forget after seeing it. Isn't this a deliberate slap in the face?

Chen Musheng was suppressing his anger and brewing an answer, and all the guests couldn't help but stare at this question, because to be honest, they were also a little dizzy from this reporter.

After all, the film industry in this era can almost be said to have gone to two extremes, either in pursuit of box office profits, or in order to win awards.

The so-called perfect unity of artistic and commercial works is really too rare, even if there are not a few in the world every year, let alone very realistic Hong Kong movies.

So if it is calculated in this way, "The True Colors of a Man" can be regarded as taking the lead, because its box office performance is likely to top the global box office record No. 1 of Chinese-language films.

A commercial film, a blockbuster commercial film, isn't this just a perfect victory?

With such achievements, who the hell cares about the so-called connotation?

Therefore, many people felt that this reporter was a little too much, as if he was deliberately making trouble. They also expected Chen Musheng to explode, and it was best to spray this reporter with blood.

But they were disappointed, because Lao Chen not only did not complain, but even laughed, nodded slightly and said: "I have never denied that this work is a commercial film through and through, and I never thought about it. This film is made into an art film with profound connotations, because for me and 99% of directors in the industry, art films are too extravagant, too expensive, and too dangerous. After all, it must be admitted that art films are only It is also difficult to make money for a small audience, and if I lose money, maybe I will lose the chance to direct the next film.”

What he said was very realistic, but he also directly expressed the aspirations of most directors, because since film is an industry, it must ensure that it does not lose money and try to make money, otherwise, other investors will not care what you call art. Well, since they invest in movies, they come here to make money. Since you, the director, can't make money for them, then you will lose your job, and maybe you won't be able to play anymore.

So as soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xingchi, Zeng Ziwei, Du Qifeng, Er Dongsheng, Liu Zhenwei, etc. who came to the scene today, all the big shots who have been directors or are currently working as directors, everyone applauded, and then Driven by them, big-name artists also applauded one after another, and even some reporters felt that it was reasonable and applauded accordingly.

Brother Xiao Sa is also clapping his hands to express his support, and even if he were to answer this question, he would definitely say without any scruples: "Making money is the last word, and what most people like to watch is the real art. Thing, that's not so-called art, it's just pretending~!"

Fortunately, he did not encounter this problem, otherwise, his speech might arouse strong controversy again.

Next, the reporters asked almost every main creator, and they asked all kinds of questions. Whether it was gossip, rumors or other things, the reporters asked all of them, and almost no one ran away. .

But, although everyone is the main creative member, there is still a big gap in the treatment they receive. In other words, this kind of press conference is the ultimate manifestation of popularity, because compared with Xie Tingfeng, Wu Jing, Fang Zuming and Jiang Ruolin Bit, someone is being questioned way too many times.

Some people even counted it at the end, and found a total of 42 reporters asking questions, but one of them was aimed at Tang Xiaosa, and then Chen Musheng and Xie Tingfeng both got 6 times, and Wu Jing and other three main creators added up to 12. Again, this is Chi Guoguo's direct statement of the fact that Tang Xiaosa has indeed completely distanced himself from Xie Tingfeng, the 'Little Heavenly King', by at least a few thousand miles.

After all, reporters are like flies, the bigger the star, the more attractive it is, so from this aspect, it is completely possible to see how big a big name is.

So a reporter secretly sighed: "Damn it, if his new album is as popular as last year, I'm afraid his position will be completely established! Who will compete in the Asian entertainment industry in the future?". )
