Winner System of Entertainment

A true superstar is always the most conspicuous one no matter where he is...

"I would like to invite our reporter friends from TVB to start asking questions!"

When Chen Musheng guest-starred as the emcee and shouted these words dryly, a thin female reporter immediately stood up and asked loudly: "I am He Lin, a reporter from TVB Entertainment News Station. I am

I would like to ask a question, Xiao Sazai. What do you think of the slogan that many people are shouting now that Hong Kong movies have been resurrected? Do you think it is possible for Hong Kong movies to return to the vitality and influence of the last century?"

"Pfft~"

Brother Xiaosha was stunned for a moment and had not yet answered, but someone in the audience laughed out loud. Although the snickering person reacted very quickly. As soon as he realized something was wrong, he immediately controlled his facial muscles and also

He lowered his head to avoid everyone's detection, but his laughter obviously still made the atmosphere at the scene a little awkward, especially the Hong Kong celebrities who came to support them.

It is full of complex colors.

Because the answer to this question is too obvious. There is not much space for Hong Kong movies at all. How can there be any so-called resurrection and development?

There is no way. The small Hong Kong Island has only a few million people. Such a small market cannot support the survival of too many film companies. Therefore, the only way for Hong Kong films to survive is to export film works and try their best.

Only by seizing the living space of the film industry in other countries and regions, just like Korean films, can we continue to survive and develop.

However, this is no longer the 1980s and 1990s. At that time, Asian countries, especially those in Southeast Asia, basically had no local film industry and could not produce any good movies.

There is no policy to impose quotas on imported films, so Hong Kong films have been brilliant for many years and have become famous as 'Oriental Hollywood'.

Now, various regions and countries in Asia have successively introduced quota systems for imported films. At the same time, people themselves have begun to vigorously support the film industry in their own countries and regions. For example, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, etc.

As a result, Hong Kong films will never be able to make money in other places like before, no matter how good or bad they are, and they can no longer be suppressed. The local film industry will never be able to develop. It will also face competition. And Hollywood,

Local films compete together.

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. South Korea still has a population of 50 million! Not to mention too many, at least it can barely keep the film company afloat, but this cannot be done in Hong Kong, because even if

110 people watch movies, and the local box office of a movie is less than 1 million.

However, the various costs of filming a movie in Hong Kong are the highest in Asia. This means that it is impossible to recover the costs locally and has to rely on other places.

And the other places...

So just like the cycle of evil, Hong Kong movies can only get worse and worse, and they will never return to the peak era of the last century when they dominated the Asian film industry and dared to compete tit-for-tat with Hollywood.

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

Therefore, their faces were a little unsightly, and when they were laughed at, everyone felt even more uncomfortable. After all, they started in the Hong Kong film industry, who could stand such ridicule?

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

Although a certain person did not expect that there are so many colleagues in the industry, at least he understands that movies need a market!

Hong Kong Island is as small as a bigger place. In addition to making money in real estate, you will definitely lose money in movies! If you can’t get back your investment, then no one will invest, so in order to eat, all the talented people will run away, or go to

Either go to the United States or go to the mainland.

Therefore, this worsens the situation. How can there be a so-called recovery?

So he glanced at the female reporter and really wanted to say something unceremonious: This is just nonsense, and Hong Kong movies will never be revived.

But that's the behavior of a bastard, and he's not.

Therefore, he still said with a smile: "I personally don't think I can be too optimistic about this issue, because there are many reasons for the decline of Hong Kong movies, such as the market shrinking, the decline of talents, and other factors. Anyway,

Just because the movie "A Better Man" is a hit, we can't be optimistic that Hong Kong movies are resurrected!"

At this point, he shrugged: "At the same time, I am not the boss of a film company, so you should ask Mr. Lin Xiaoming, Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang and Mr. Lin Jianyue about this question! They are the real big guys in the Hong Kong film industry.

."

Although the reporter was not very satisfied with this answer, she still thanked her and sat down, because after all, Brother Xiaosha is also a mainland filmmaker, but he just happened to come across this Hong Kong movie, so for Hong Kong

Whether the film industry is alive or dead, people don't need to worry so much about it.

So soon, the second reporter was also called out by Chen Musheng. This was a male reporter from "Ming Pao". Perhaps because of his awesome "backstage", the questions he asked were much more popular - "

I would like to ask Director Chen, what do you think of some negative reviews on the market?

What? Some people say that the movie "A Better Day" is actually not that good at all, because it has no connotation. It is a commercial film that is forgettable after watching it. It is almost no improvement compared to your previous works. Do you agree?

Is this a statement?”

I admit you are a fool!

If it is really possible to curse, Brother Xiaosha believes that Chen Musheng, whose face is full of anger and embarrassment at this time, will definitely curse like this, because this is just a slap in the face, isn't it?

Lao Tzu's work is obviously a commercial film that is a big hit around the world, but he said that this film has no connotation, and it is also a commercial film that is forgotten after watching it. Isn't this a deliberate slap in the face?

Chen Musheng was suppressing his anger while brewing an answer, and the guests in the audience were also confused by this question, because to be honest, they were also a little dizzy by this reporter.

After all, the film industry in this era can almost be said to have reached two extremes, either pursuing box office profits or pursuing awards.

The so-called works that perfectly unify the artistic and commercial surnames are really too few, even if there are only a few in the world every year, let alone very realistic Hong Kong movies.

So if you calculate it this way, "A Better Man" can be regarded as taking the lead, because its box office performance is likely to top the global box office record of Chinese-language films.

A commercial film, a commercial film that sells well, isn't this a perfect victory?

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

Therefore, many people feel that this reporter has gone too far, as if he is deliberately causing trouble. They are also looking forward to Chen Musheng's explosion, and it is best to make this reporter bloody.

But they were disappointed, because not only did Lao Chen not complain, he even laughed, nodded slightly and said: "I have never denied that this work is a commercial movie through and through. I never thought about it.

The play was made into an art film with profound connotations because of its

For me now, and for 99% of the directors in the industry, art films are too luxurious, too expensive, and too dangerous. After all, it must be admitted that art films are only a niche after all, and it is difficult to make money.

If I make a loss, I may lose the chance to direct my next drama."

What he said is very realistic, but it also directly expresses the sentiments of most directors, because since movies are an industry, they must ensure not to lose money and try to make money. Otherwise, investors will not care about your so-called art.

, since they invest in movies, they are here to make money. Since you, the director, cannot make money for them, then you will lose your job, and you may not have anything to do from now on.

Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Xingchi, Zeng Ziwei, Du Qifeng, Er Dongsheng, Liu Zhenwei, etc. who had come to the scene today. Everyone applauded, and then

Following their lead, big-name artists also applauded, and even some reporters felt justified and also clapped along.

Brother Xiaosha also clapped his hands to express his support. Even if it were him to answer this question, he would definitely say without any scruples: "Making money is the last word, and what most people like to see is the real art, the high-brow and low-key ones."

Damn, that’s not art, it’s pretense!”

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

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

.

However, although we are all the main creative members, there is still a big gap in the treatment we receive. In other words, this kind of press conference is the ultimate expression of popularity, because compared to Xie Tingfeng, Wu Jing, Fang Guiming and Jiang Ruolin,

Bit, someone is asked too many times.

Someone even counted the last time and was shocked to find that a total of 42 reporters asked questions, but one of them was directed at Tang Xiaosa, and then Chen Musheng and Xie Tingfeng both got 6 times. Wu Jing and other three main creators only got 12 in total.

This time, this directly demonstrated the fact that Tang Xiaosa had indeed completely opened the distance from Xie Tingfeng, the 'little king', and was at least thousands of miles ahead.

After all, reporters are like flies. The bigger the star, the more attractive it is. So from this aspect, you can completely tell how famous 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 status will be completely established! Who can compete with him in the Asian entertainment industry in the future?".)
