Chapter 0355: Talking About Hong Kong Movies

“Can you count me?” Xi Wei said from the side.

“Does Sister Xi Wei want to be a guest of performance or a guest of guessing?” Wang Tao asked with a smile.

“As for me, of course I am a guest of guessing, and my voice recognition is also very high, I’m afraid I can’t perform.” Xi Wei said with a smile.

“Of course you can. There is no quota. Of course, the more people, the better.” Wang Tao said with a smile.

“What are you talking about? We talked so happily. I usually don’t have much to say with the big masters like us. Today, Mr. Wang is here and we are so happy one by one.” Wu Jing smiled and stepped onto the bus.

“I’m talking about you.” Xi Wei said with a smile.

“What do you say about me?” Wu Jing asked puzzledly.

“Say that you have a good character and good luck, and you have married Sister Qing Nan.” Xi Wei said.

She and Wu Jing took part in a variety show together in the first half of this year. They are very familiar with each other, so there is not much pressure to make a joke.

“That is, you don’t even look at what our men do.” Wu Jing raised Xie Qingnan’s expression of complacency.

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Wu Jing asked a little strangely: “Why, what is your reaction?”

“He’s teasing you, what we just said was a new variety show by Mr. Wang.” Liu Hua said from the side.

“You, you really can’t do it, then I will start to rinse.” Wu Jing then understood what was going on and said with a smile.

“Speaking of the performers, are you sure about it?” Hu Ge asked with a smile.

“I am preparing for eight episodes of the program. There should be four people in each episode. There are 32 people in total. Only 11 people have been identified, which is 21 short. Hu Ge, is there anyone to recommend?” Wang Tao asked.

“Yes, it’s still your fellows, does Qin Dong know?” Hu Ge nodded and said.

“I know.” Wang Tao had heard of this name, but had never seen his play.

“Have you never seen his play?” Hu Ge asked Wang Tao with an embarrassed expression.

“Ahem, I usually watch American TV series more often.” Wang Tao said with a dry cough.

“No, Mr. Wang, you don’t know much about the domestic entertainment industry.” Fan Bingbing said in surprise.

“I used to be an office worker and I was busy at work. There are dozens of episodes of domestic TV dramas at every turn. I like to watch American dramas without so many episodes, and the plots are also very interesting.” Wang Tao explained.

“Are domestic TV dramas really so inaccessible to you?” Fan Bingbing asked strangely.

“It’s not that you don’t get into the eyes of the law. Many TV dramas nowadays are too old-fashioned. Many times, I see the beginning and know the result. There is no meaning at all.” Wang Tao said.

“This can only show that you are really amazing. If you know that your screenwriting ability is better than them, you can easily guess what they wrote.” Fan Bingbing said.

“It’s not the willingness, but the old-fashioned plot. This has nothing to do with screenwriting ability. My mother doesn’t understand screenwriting, but she can guess what it is after watching many TV shows.”

“As we often say, Goryeo drama has three treasures. Car accidents, cancer, and amnesia. This is not a problem of screenwriting ability. It is just an old story. Although everyone advocates new wine in old bottles, the bottles are too old and the wine looks good. It’s not like new,” Wang Tao said.

“This is not only the problem of the mainland, but also our Hong Kong city. In the 1980s, many new Taiwan themes appeared. You can see different movies in the cinema almost every day, but now the decline of Hong Kong movies is not good. The screenwriter has a lot to do with it,” said Liang Jiahui, who was sitting with Liu Hua.

This topic is a bit heavy, and everyone in the car doesn’t know what to say.

“The Hong Kong films in the 1980s and 1990s were indeed at their peak. In my opinion, the reasons are as follows: First, the production cost increased.

From the actors to the post-production of the Hong Kong City films in the 1990s, they were not of an order of magnitude relative to the present. Cost will inevitably affect the profitability method. The income of the old movies in Hong Kong is mainly the local people in Hong Kong. The mainland’s movies are mainly from pirated DVDs and other channels, which cannot provide economic support for the movies in Hong Kong.

With the development of the Internet, the population base of Hong Kong City is too small, and the income that can be provided for viewing movies has become less. As a result, Hong Kong films are supported by the mainland box office and follow the local customs, and the content of the film is more inclined to please the aesthetics of the mainland people. It can be said that the current Hong Kong City movie can no longer be called the Hong Kong City movie, without its own characteristics.

Vulgar and ostentatious, it only relies on consumer audience’s feelings towards Old Port City movies to generate benefits. In the past, Hong Kong City movies were made for the people of Hong Kong City. They have local characteristics and their own unique cultural charm. But now forcibly integrating into the mainland in order to survive, but without getting the essence, it is vain and vulgar.

Another important reason for the decline of Hong Kong films is the loss of a large number of outstanding actors. In the 1980s and 1990s, a large number of excellent film talents poured into Hong Kong City. Li Jie is one of the representative figures, during which he portrayed a series of classic roles such as Huang Feihong and Fang Shiyu.

Today, all the artists who have a little bit of fame are all rushing to the mainland to develop. Last big variety show, shooting all kinds of bad dramas, frantically earning money and leaving. Consumers themselves consume their own audience. Today, there are only those old artists who stick to themselves in the Hong Kong performing arts world. Without a good actor and a good production team, no good works can be produced.

The vicious circle caused the glory of Hong Kong films to become history. ”

“Of course, the Hong Kong film troopers have not completely declined. Gangster movies are still a subject that audiences are very accustomed to. However, only relying on gangster movies is ultimately unsustainable.”

“Then Wang always thinks the mainland’s film and television have a future?” Wang Yan asked.

“To be honest, I am not very optimistic. Looking at the top movies at the box office, comedies are the majority. Comedy movies are of course family fun, but movies are not only at the box office. They must also have depth, which is the artistry that film critics like to say. ”

“The artistry I’m talking about is not just a literary film, but an inspiring movie. Of course, I can’t make a movie like that. What I can do is to make a blockbuster and a commercial film. What I can do is not use it as much as possible. Those little fresh meat, little Huadans.”

“With a beautiful face, regardless of acting skills, you can get tens of millions of salary. If things go on like this, the mainland film and television industry will not be much better.” Wang Tao said with a smile.

“It’s not that we want so much money. The market decides.” Gu Li said suddenly.

“I didn’t say that it’s not right to take so much money. As you said, this is determined by the market. However, the market will eventually recover. A TV series with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars will account for 70% to 80% of the actors’ salary. It’s not normal. If you want to be like Mr. Liang and Mr. Liu, you will never fail in the entertainment industry, and honing your acting skills is the most important thing.” Wang Tao had forgotten that there was Xiaohuadan at the scene, said immediately.
