Chapter 1348 Let It Go (Autumn Light 8)

The matter of being able to participate in the selection of actors was specially explained by Feng Yiping before. When negotiating with so many companies a year ago, there was no such requirement. Passable.

At least the role of Huang Bo will not be set to be obsequious, nor will Jiang Xin's role be set to be weak and flamboyant.

But Hong Kong and Taiwan are not necessarily true. For example, there is a "Ximen Aunt" in Wanwan who is so beautiful that you think there is something wrong with the eyes or the TV.

As for Hong Kong, he was even more displeased.

As a movie lover, as a former fanboy, Feng Yiping liked some stars in Hong Kong very much for a while, such as Chow Yun-fat, the charm of that smile; such as Tony Leung, the electric current in that glance; such as Li Jiaxin, that pure face; For example, Qiu Shuzhen, that sexy body....

For a period of time, he was like those brainless fans later on, as long as he liked the movies of those stars, he would not let go of any of them. Although some of them would inevitably disappoint him, it still could not change his love for those stars. Impressions and favorites of stars.

But later, when he was finally able to evaluate a movie objectively, some phenomena made him stay away from the Hong Kong movies he once loved.

The reason for this result, one reason, is that later Hong Kong movies, like those language programs in the Spring Festival Gala, have to be bluntly elevated. No matter what the content is, they must finally focus on humanistic care and universal values. It is even more abhorrent than the forced placement of advertisements later.

Another part of the reason is that I didn't feel it before, but it became more and more obvious that some filmmakers have a deep sense of superiority when facing mainland compatriots.

Speaking of which, Hong Kong filmmakers really don't have any advantages in front of the mainland. In 2003, the box office revenue of mainland selfie films was 1.1 billion, while Hong Kong's total box office last year was only 360 million.

Obviously, the outlet for Chinese-language films can only be in the Mainland.

Just like Hollywood later used some mainland actors for the huge market in the mainland, now Hong Kong and the mainland have also made some co-production projects.

Just like in Hollywood in the last century, actors of Chinese descent could only play some fixed negative roles, just like at the end of the last century, actors from Hong Kong who went to Hollywood to make a living in Hollywood could only play thugs. , mainland stars, no matter how good their acting skills are, they can only play tricks, such as Chen Daoming in last year's "Infernal Affairs 3", what kind of thing is the character he played?

Later, Chen Baoguo in "Baby Project" played a somewhat crazy and perverted character, and Zhang Guoli's role in "The Big Search" was better, but not much better....

It was 10 years later, in the Hong Kong movies that Feng Yiping watched a few times, let alone prostitutes, as long as she is a female mistress, then she must be from the mainland... You just change her background, don’t show off her superiority, she can die ?

There is also the "Zhiming and Chunjiao" series that has been talked about quietly by many petty bourgeoisie. Feng Yiping watched one, but only saw the inextricable sense of superiority of Hong Kong filmmakers.

The high-income professional women and successful men in the Mainland just fell in love with the two ordinary Hong Kong men and women who came to the north to make a living for no reason. They were not too young, nor too handsome and beautiful. , I don't even have the qualifications to be a spare tire.

Why? Why does it feel so good? Just because you are from Hong Kong?

Similarly, they brought the girls from the Mainland to chat in the coffee shop. They also ignored the feelings of others and only spoke Cantonese. They also asked the girls from the north to guess, and when they guessed wrong, the one they laughed at was superior....

What's so great about it? From the perspective of the number of people, there are not more Cantonese speakers in the Mainland!

We have to admit that when the co-production was first launched in the last century, the acting skills of mainland stars were indeed inferior to Hong Kong first-line stars. For example, in "Red Lover", the performance of mainland stars was indeed inferior to that of Leslie Cheung. That's a big chunk.

But that's not all. In the movie version of "Half Life", Uncle Ge's performance absolutely killed those Hong Kong and Taiwan stars who played against him.

Since the acting skills of mainland stars are not bad, then I will pay you to co-produce a movie that is mainly released in the mainland. Why can't some mainland stars take the lead?

It should be said that among those people in Hong Kong who advocated locals first and despised mainland compatriots, there were many celebrities in the entertainment industry, and they were not without roots.

Later, when the Internet was so developed, those celebrities who basically made money from commercial performances in the mainland would make a lot of money in the mainland, and at the same time make comments that looked down on those who gave them money.

As the old saying goes, pick up the chopsticks to eat meat, and put down the chopsticks to scold your mother. Some of these guys scold their mothers as soon as the meat reaches their mouths, let alone now?

We treat you as a family member, and you don't appreciate it when you get cheap, Feng Yiping doesn't want to get used to their temper now!

"Forget it, we thought too well. You are right. Now they only have the ability to stir-fry. Since they are still so good, then you don't have to talk about it. Go home as soon as possible. From now on If you want to invest with us, okay, make an appointment one month in advance," he also stood up, and patted Chen Tao's shoulder, who was still somewhat aggrieved, "let them entertain themselves with a good feeling about themselves."

"But, after all, this is the most important production area of ​​Chinese films," Feng Yiping said, but Chen Tao hesitated.

This is really a good employee who can always think about work.

"It doesn't matter much, it's all the old calendar in the past." He didn't have much impression of the later Hong Kong movies, and there were no newcomers in the later Hong Kong stars.

This is already very telling.

"After going back, follow up the co-production projects that have been confirmed, and at the same time, don't forget our goals,"

Speaking of this, Chen Tao was very excited.

The strategy set by Jiasheng Media is to start its own TV drama production while continuing to produce variety shows.

Well, the goal is already there. In the third quarter of last year, South Korea broadcast a step-by-step costume drama "Dae Jang Geum", which quickly aroused strong reactions in many Asian countries. That is their goal.

Well, Feng Yiping has completely caught up with the Korean wave.

"The screenwriter team is refining the outline you wrote, and with the relevant preparations, we can shoot our first TV series in the third quarter at the latest,"

Feng Yiping's time is so tight now that he really doesn't have time to spend a lot of time writing TV drama scripts, and it may not be well written.

However, Jiasheng Media has enough money now, so he wrote out the outline of the original TV series, and then hired ten screenwriters who are not bad and have experience, but they are just mediocre screenwriters, and let them perfect it—of course, The final decision-making authority still rests with Feng Yiping.

"Very good," Feng Yiping was very excited about this matter.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Of course, this is a long-term plan." Feng Yiping took Chen Tao outside to enjoy the sun on the balcony, "I think, every year in the future, no matter what, we will make a movie related to the War of Resistance. works, TV dramas and movies are fine, the purpose is not to make money, but it must stand up to scrutiny and not be too joking, "

It should be said that even regardless of educational and other practical significance, there is still a large market for anti-Japanese dramas.

It's just that there were too many dramas of all kinds later, making everyone shake their heads when they saw such themes.

"Not for making money?"

"Yes, let's talk about it. Reserve a part of the funds every year to produce such works. It's right to do public welfare." Feng Yiping now has the strength.

"In terms of production methods, we can also be more flexible. We can openly solicit scripts from the public at high prices, openly select directors, openly select actors... In short, try to attract more people's attention,"

"I agree with both hands," Chen Tao said immediately, and then laughed, "Hehe, it turns out that you are also a cynic, Yiping."

"Even if it is, our generation did not experience the cruelty at that time. We are not as impressed with that period of history as our parents. Some current trends are also very worrying. If we don't do something, I highly doubt it. When it comes to our children and grandchildren, the descendants of those invaders may really whitewash their sinful ancestors, and even our descendants will be indifferent, "

Is this possible? It's really possible!

In the era when everything is measured by money and pan-entertainment, it is not unexpected that such things will happen. It seems that there are already many people and things like this in Wanwan.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do this well,"

"Don't be so serious, let's go, let's go to dinner, but there is still pressure, I have made a plan, after retirement, I will work in a media company,"
