Chapter 500: Let it flow in the light of autumn 8
Feng Yiping specifically explained that actors should be able to participate in opinions when casting. When he negotiated with so many companies a few years ago, there was no such thing because the film and television dramas he had an impression of were still a good choice in terms of role choices.
At least he would not set Huang Bo's character to be flattered, nor would he set Jiang Xin's character to be weak Qianqian.
But Hong Kong and Taiwan are not necessarily the case. For example, the beauty on the Wanwan side makes you feel that there is either a problem with your eyes or a problem with the TV.
As for Hong Kong, he couldn't stand it even more.
As a movie lover and a former fan, Feng Yiping has been very fond of Hong Kong stars for a while, such as Chow Yun-fat, the charm of his smile; Tony Leung, the electric current at a glance; Michelle Reis, the purity of his face; Shu-zhen, the sexy outfit...
For a while, he was like those brainless fans who later became the movies of the stars he liked and would not let go of any of them. Although some of them could not help disappoint him, this still could not change his impression and love for those stars.
But later, when he was finally able to objectively evaluate a movie, some phenomena made him stay away from the Hong Kong movies he once loved.
One of the reasons for this result was that later Hong Kong movies, like the language programs of the Spring Festival Gala, had to be stiffly raised. No matter what the content was, they would eventually be cited towards humanistic care and universal values, which was even more hateful than the behavior of forcibly implanting advertisements later.
Another reason is that I didn’t feel it before, but later I felt it became more and more obvious. The superiority in the deep bones of some filmmakers when facing their compatriots in the mainland.
Speaking of which, Hong Kong filmmakers have nothing good to be said to the mainland. In 2003, the box office revenue of selfies in mainland China was 1.1 billion, while the total box office in Hong Kong last year was only 360 million.
It is obvious that the only way out for Chinese-language movies is in the mainland.
Just like Hollywood later, some mainland actors were also launched for the huge market in the mainland, Hong Kong and the mainland have also done some co-production projects.
Just like in Hollywood in the last century, Chinese actors could only play some fixed negative roles, just like in Hong Kong's late last century, actors who went to Hollywood to play thugs, in these co-productions mainly based on the mainland market, mainland stars, no matter how good their acting skills are, can only play supporting roles. For example, Chen Daoming, in "Infernal Affairs 3" last year, what is that thing?
There is also Chen Baoguo in "Baby Plan", who played a somewhat crazy and perverted role. Zhang Guoli in "The Great Search" is better, but not much better...
It was 10 years later that Feng Yiping looked at the Hong Kong movies that he saw a few times, let alone prostitutes, as long as he was a mistress, she must come from the mainland... Just change her background. Can you die if you don’t show off your superiority?
There is also the "Zhi Ming and Chun Jiao" series that was quietly talked about by many petty bourgeoisie. Feng Yiping watched one of them, but only saw the unexplainable sense of superiority of Hong Kong filmmakers.
The high-income professional women in the mainland and successful men are for no reason to come to make a living. They are not too young, not too handsome and beautiful, and they are so devoted that they love themselves... but the final outcome is that they do not even have the qualifications to be a spare tire.
Why? Why do you feel so good? Just because you are from Hong Kong?
Similarly, they took girls from the mainland to chat in the cafe, and they also spoke Cantonese regardless of other people's feelings, and asked the girls from the north to guess, and they smiled superiorly after guessing the wrong one...
What’s the best? Judging from the number of people, not more people in the mainland speak Cantonese!
We have to admit that when the co-production was just launched in the last century, the acting skills of mainland stars were indeed a little worse than those of Hong Kong first-tier stars. For example, in "Red Lovers", the performances of mainland stars were indeed much worse than those of Leslie Cheung.
But it is not all the case. In the movie version of "Half of Life", Mr. Ge's performance will definitely kill the Hong Kong and Taiwan stars who played against him in seconds.
Since the acting skills of mainland celebrities are not bad, then I will pay to co-production with you a movie that is mainly released in the mainland. Why can't some mainland celebrities take the lead?
It should be said that among those who later advocated that locals were preferred and despised their compatriots in the mainland, there were many well-known people in the entertainment industry, not without roots.
In the later period when the Internet was so developed, those celebrities who basically made money from mainland commercial performances made a lot of money in the mainland while making remarks about those who looked down on them who gave them money.
The old saying goes, pick up the chopsticks and eat meat, put it down and curse my mother. Some of these guys just curse me when they just get into their mouths and before they put them down, let alone now?
We treat you as a relative, but you don’t appreciate it if you get a discount. Feng Yiping doesn’t want to be abusive of their temper now!
"Forget it, we thought so well in the past. You were right. Now they only have the ability to stir-fry cold rice. Since they are still so awesome, you don't have to talk about it anymore. Go home as soon as possible. I want to invest here here. OK, make an appointment a month in advance." He also stood up and patted Chen Tao's shoulder, who was still a little angry, "Let them have a good feeling for themselves to entertain themselves,"
"But, this is the most important place of origin for Chinese-language movies after all," said Feng Yiping, and Chen Tao hesitated instead.
This is really a good employee who always thinks about work.
"It doesn't matter much, it's all the almanac of the past," he didn't have many impressions of the later Hong Kong movies. Later Hong Kong stars didn't say that there were many newcomers.
This is already very telling.
"After going back, follow up on the confirmed co-production project, and at the same time, don't forget our goals,"
When it comes to this, Chen Tao is very energetic.
The strategy set by Jiasheng Media is to start its own TV series production while continuing to produce a variety show column.
As for the goal, there is already. In the third quarter of last year, South Korea broadcast a costume TV series "Dae Jang Geum" and quickly aroused strong responses in many Asian countries. That is their goal.
Well, Feng Yiping has completely argued with Korean wave.
"The screenwriter team is refining the outline you wrote, and adding relevant preparations, we can invest in our first TV series at the latest in the third quarter,"
Feng Yiping is so nervous now that he really has no time to spend a lot of time writing scripts for TV series, and it may not be well written.
However, Jiasheng Media now has money, so he wrote out the outline of the original TV series and hired ten pens, which was not bad and experienced, but he was just a screenwriter who was just a good person and asked them to improve it - of course, the final approval authority was still in Feng Yiping.
"Very good," Feng Yiping was also very excited.
"Oh, right, there is another thing, of course, this is a long-term plan," Feng Yiping took Chen Tao to the balcony outside to bask in the sun. "I think every year, no matter what, we will shoot a work related to the War of Resistance Against Japan. TV series and movies are fine. The purpose is not to make money, but it must stand the scrutiny and not to talk too much."
It should be said that even regardless of educational significance or other practical significance, anti-Japanese dramas still have a big market.
But later there were too many magical dramas, which made everyone shake their heads when they saw such a subject.
“Not to make money?”
"Yes, you can discuss it. If you reserve a portion of the funds every year to make such works, it is just for charity," Feng Yiping now has this strength.
"In terms of production methods, we can also be more flexible. We can openly collect scripts from the public at a high price, select directors, and select actors... In short, try to attract more people's attention."
"I raised my hands to agree," Chen Tao said immediately, and laughed, "Haha, it turns out that Yiping, you are also an angry young man,"
"Even if it is, our generation has never experienced the cruelty of that time. We are not as impressed by that period of history as our fathers. Some of the current trends are also very uneasy. If we don't do anything, I highly doubt that when it comes to our children and grandchildren, the descendants of those invaders may really whitewash their evil ancestors, and even our descendants will not be moved."
Is this possible? It's really possible!
In the era of mass entertainment, such things happened in the future, as if there were already many such people and things in Wanwan later.
"Don't worry, I will do this,"
"Don't be so serious. Let's go for a meal, but the pressure still needs to be. I'm planning to go to the media company after retirement."
