Chapter 313 The Approaching National Entertainment Event

Fortune Chapter 313 The approaching national entertainment event

Here comes Andy Lau. Fan Wubing couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Liu Tianwang's hard work in the industry can be said to be well known to everyone. Andy Lau made the most films in the three to four years before 1992. Those years. Every year he makes more than a dozen movies. It seems to be in his life. There is nothing else but movies.

In 1991. On average, one film in which he stars is released every month. And the room is very popular. The total box office revenue of the twelve films reached HK$200 million. Ranked first among Hong Kong actors.

in Korea. "Heavenly Love" starring him was released for nine months. Korean audiences call him the most popular foreign actor. Such achievements. Whoever it is will be ecstatic. But. Andy Lau was not happy.

After weighing it again and again. He has struggled with the United States' efforts for many years. Andy Lau has tasted a lot of sweetness. There are flowers, applause and honor. But I also gradually tasted the bitterness of being a celebrity. For example, rumors, scandals, slander and theft of interests. And the most terrifying thing. It's the entanglement from the underworld.

The word mafia. Young people in China have less contact. Because the mainland official crackdown on the underworld is very strong. Ordinary criminal case participants who have been severely punished for many times have been severely punished. What kind of gangster is there? There is little soil for them to exist.

But in Hong Kong. This kind of underworld-type organization is not uncommon. They use various means. Forcefully penetrate into all fields.

For a period of time. Hong Kong's Jianghu hero movies are good. The Hong Kong underworld also wants to dress itself up as a hero. For a while. The entertainment industry has become the hardest hit area for underworld infiltration. The underworld uses film production and box office to launder money. This is nothing new.

Andy Lau, a star who specializes in playing heroes, was naturally deeply affected. at that time. Andy Lau once set a record of making sixteen films in a year, and there were even cases where three films he starred in competed for the box office at the same time. Known as the iron man in Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

Yet so productive. However, Andy Lau is very clear about the impact on the quality of the film. He also thought about saying no to a shoddy script. But he couldn't say. even. He didn't even have the power to refuse to appear.

Don't look at being a hero on screen. But under the curtain. His heroic spirit wasn't working.

Once Andy Lau tried to reject a film from a certain company. Who knew it would be at the studio. In full view. The evil forces actually drew guns and threatened them. Some people may ask why not call the police. But what's the use of calling the police? They protect you for a while. I can't protect you forever. In the end, the hatred will only become deeper.

Although in Hong Kong movies. They have the ICAC. There is the Flying Tigers.

There are overlord flowers. There is also the invincible Royal Hong Kong Police. But in reality. These are all spouted out and have no real meaning at all. The strength of Hong Kong’s underworld. It's something the police can't afford and don't want to provoke.

then. Without reluctance. Andy Lau is constantly taking on one film after another that he doesn't like.

then. Things like forced filming often occur in the Hong Kong art world because Andy Lau has a good sales guarantee outside and he has not signed a contract with a large company that has the ability to compete with various forces. Therefore, we encountered even more trouble. You can only start from scratch. Avoid dealing with those people. Only then can we give ourselves a relatively free space.

then. Andy Lau first joined Company M in the United States. Use powerful companies to protect you. In 1991. He formed a partnership with several friends in the industry. Appoint yourself as your own boss. The Cyclorama Film Company was formed.

Establish a marquee company. Avoiding the entanglement of the underworld is naturally one of the important reasons. There is another important fact. You can make some movies of your own.

at Hong Kong. Andy Lau is one of the highest paid male stars in his career. If only to make money. The more movies you make, the more money you will make. No need to bother with this. Invest in a company now. You may lose or make a profit. The risk is great. This kind of business seems too uneconomical.

But Andy Lau's investment in filming is not just to make money. He thinks that if he makes a movie, he just wants to make money. Where would it be like now. Only make so much money?

Invest in filming. It's for something new. What I really want to shoot. This kind of creative freedom cannot be bought by money.

After the establishment of Tianmu Company. The movie filmed is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

According to subsequent box office statistics. The film's total box office revenue in Hong Kong reached HK$20 million. this number. Although it is still far away from Andy Lau’s announcement of capital preservation. But it should be considered a blockbuster film anyway.

But the investment in this film. But it’s over HK$24 million...

Seven more films were made after that. All was lost.

In the early 1990s, Hong Kong was at its most glorious. Many stars including Jackie Chan. Jet Li. Stephen Chow and others have started film companies. But later they all went bankrupt due to poor management. Only Liu De's Tianmu Company remained. Even when he lost tens of millions on the film, he never gave up. It shows that he really loves movies.

Fan Wubing was bored. He told Shen Ying true and false gossip. Shen Ying was shocked. She had never thought that there was such darkness in the entertainment industry.

"It is said that Andy lost 40 million this year and is holding on. Listen to his song. What's it called? Love-forgetting water. Give me a cup of Love-forgetting water. I won't shed tears for a whole night. What's in his heart? Don't worry. That's fake." Wu Bing said to Shen Ying.

Shen Ying said oh. He looked at Hua Zai who was stepping down from the stage. He shook his head and said. "Hong Kong is really not a good place. No wonder many people come to the mainland to develop. Not only are there more people and money here, but at least there is no gang harassment."

Fan Wubing nodded and replied. "Yes. From now on, it is an irreversible process for Hong Kong and Taiwan artists to enter the domestic market. From this point of view, my New Silk Road Entertainment company needs to have some new developments. The current artist team is still a bit weak."

"There are many second-tier actors in China now. Aren't they all high? Why don't you recruit some?" Shen Ying asked curiously.

Fan Wubing replied with a smile. "You don't understand the situation here. That's why you say that."

of performing arts resources. Most of them are monopolized by the military. Especially the top-notch actors. It was even more so that they were swept away by song and dance troupes and art troupes such as the General Staff, the General Political Department, the Air Administration and the Sea Administration, so that when they performed in a large-scale show. Especially in the military group

In motion. As long as you take a look at those celebrities, they are sure to be all dressed up.

Thus. I want to compete with the military for these artist resources. It's not very realistic. But we need to dig out promising seedlings in our daily lives. But it is something that can be encountered but cannot be sought.

Fan Wubing has seen these actors before. These few people who became the pillars of the company all appeared inadvertently. Therefore, Fan Wu also felt a little emotional and wondered if he should prepare to officially launch the talent show.

Only to create a civilian star appearance. Only then is it possible for your entertainment company to stand on the commanding heights of entertainment.

The previous national draft work has been progressing well. Each competition region has also selected many worthy candidates to cultivate good seedlings. However, in order to improve the quality and watchability of the program, Fan Wubing required the company to conduct comprehensive training for the contestants selected from each competition area. And signed a series of contracts.

Probably after the new year. This work can be officially launched.

Fan Wubing's opinion is. When the weather starts to warm up. It’s time to officially compete. Watch as the players' clothes become less and less. Everyone’s enthusiasm for the program will also grow.

The originators of the talent show are Britain's "Big Idol" and the United States' "American Idol". This kind of show builds a platform for overnight fame. Boys and girls who have idol worship complexes or have dreams of becoming stars. I saw my own chance of success in this highly participatory entertainment. At the same time, this program format will also be refreshing. Stay close to life and close to yourself. Constant suspense and lots of interactions keep people paying attention.

It's not hard to imagine. In this period of uncertainty. A talent show is bound to cause great repercussions and sensation across the country. Countless teenagers with idol worshiping tendencies enthusiastically paid attention and rushed to imitate. They worshiped and voted enthusiastically, pushing these draft contestants who were just ordinary people to the pinnacle of life.

What people see in the show is the undisguised luster of individual fresh faces. Under the show. People cheered along with the transformation and growth of this ugly duckling. It suddenly brought China into a situation of national entertainment.

Although the talent show itself has good original intentions and a good market. But if there are too many draft activities. It will destroy the ecological balance of TV programs. It causes aesthetic fatigue and psychological disgust in the audience. It also directly leads to a greatly shortened life cycle.

also. If the organizer of the talent show wants to attract ratings. Don't hesitate to use vulgar and despicable hype methods. Such as hyping the negative factors of players and so on. This will cause the draft to go astray and misunderstood. The focus is not on the quality of the program and the training of players. Instead, he shifted more of his attention to things other than the game. Deliberately create topics to attract attention. Kitsch or even vulgar taste. That would be the end of the road.

It is also a civilian talent show. Whether it is British or American, it is the most popular TV show in the country. The winner of the year is blessed with good luck. Become a pop singer and super star. songs frequently appear on the charts. Others have won Grammy Awards and many other awards.

Why is this kind of talent show so popular abroad? What about making a lasting impact?

The first is the uniqueness of the program. Although there are many shows for all kinds of people in the United States. But they all have different elements. It will never be repeated as a talent reality show. It has a strong monopoly. There is no other program of its kind that can compete with it. And if there is a rush. Just seeing the draft hot. They rush to imitate. Don’t seek differences but seek common ground. Follow the old path of imitation. Then this path can still survive in periods or areas where market competition is insufficient. But when competition intensifies, it becomes difficult to get through.

The second is the professionalism of the program. Although the participants are all amateur singers or enthusiasts. But the content of their competition is singing. It is a contest of singing skills. Other factors have relatively little influence. And if a talent show is held in China. Singing skills are often just one aspect. Some organizers who are short-term and profitable are often accustomed to using various hypes and renderings to extend the program content horizontally and vertically. The players’ family circumstances, growth environment, personal emotions, etc. Whether true or false. All were exposed in a big way. The show has changed. Lost the purity it should have had.

Talent shows. It allows the audience to witness the process of a group of newcomers from ugly ducklings to entertainers. Integrate the audience into one. Grow together. Therefore, I want to continue a talent show for a long time. We can only take the initiative to innovate long-term plans. simply put. In fact, it is a matter of choosing an end point or a starting point.

"Your talent show. Is it a beauty pageant?" After Fan Wubing described his plan. Shen Ying is a bit depressed.

In Shen Ying's heart. To say that Fan Wubing is not a little troubled by his outstanding performance. That's simply impossible. Faced with having such an excellent fiancé. Shen Ying was a little reserved. It is not ruled out that there will be some slight sense of crisis.

Although she felt that she was actually quite good. Not only is the person perfect in appearance. He also has an intelligent heart that is far beyond ordinary people. But there is such a thing as feelings. It is difficult to standardize using the word reasonable. Therefore, Shen Ying was still jealous of Fan Wubing. For his entertainment company. Especially the beauties in the entertainment company felt a little resentful.

Fan Wubing glanced at Shen Ying strangely. Then he smiled slightly. After laughing for a long time, he said. "I thought that a woman like you wouldn't be jealous. But I didn't expect that this kind of thing has much to do with IQ. An activity like the talent show is a showcase of talent. It may also win the support of the audience. A middle-aged aunt. This is completely different from a beauty pageant."

"Auntie?" Shen Ying looked at Fan Wubing with wide eyes. He said after a long time. "Okay. If I don't see a middle-aged aunt winning an award in this event, you don't have to ask me to pay you back."

"Oh. You can't do this. That's a lot." Fan Wubing listened. He said with a bit of laughter and tears at once.
