Looking at the two luxury cars gradually going away, Feng Yifeng stood fixedly, watching the car's taillights gradually disappear in the dark night.
"Is it really worth it for us to do this? Will it give other companies a chance to take a breather, which will affect our future development?" Le Yiling is still a little worried. She doesn't see the benefits of Feng Yifeng doing this.
Less than that. Instead, Tianchen Cinemas and American distribution companies are allowed to screen other companies' films, giving other companies ample opportunities. So how should Tianchen Entertainment handle its future?
"What do you think of Hollywood movies? Do you think Hong Kong audiences, or Asian audiences, can fully accept Western film culture?" Feng Yifeng did not answer Lok Yiling's words, but asked instead.
"This...? It's really hard to say. In terms of production, Hollywood movies are indeed superior to Asian countries. Not only are their themes novel, but they also require huge investments. In recent years, one [Star Wars], one [ET],
It has completely conquered the Asian audience. Even "Roman Holiday" more than 20 years ago is still talked about now, and Audrey Hepburn's touching beauty still remains in the hearts of the audience. Just because of her
These classics, so Hollywood's market share in Asia, is gradually increasing every year. However, we in Hong Kong have our own unique history and culture, which is very different from Western culture. Audiences can buy tickets and go to the theater because of the wonderful films.
Watch it, but I believe that I will never accept it completely. Therefore, Hong Kong movies will definitely still be very important in Asia in the future."
"You are too optimistic. Hong Kong people are too eager for quick success and quick profits, and they all want to earn enough box office at the minimum cost. Many people have forgotten that both shooting technology and well-produced films have evolved with the development of science and technology.
Progressive, the audience will never be satisfied with films shot with existing technology. But if you want to get a good script and make a good movie, you need to spend money. The larger the production, the greater the investment.
.Look at [Star Wars], how long it took George Lucas, how much film was wasted, and how much money was invested to make such a classic."
"But think about Hong Kong movies. The fastest one can make a movie is a week. In a small place like Hong Kong, hundreds of movies can be produced in a year and distributed all over Asia. It's scary to think about it.
But among these films, how many can have a profound impact on the audience? Although it cannot be said that every film from Hollywood can leave an impression on the audience, at least many of them have become
A classic that cannot be imitated by Asian movies.”
"Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are all places that accept Western culture the fastest, because these areas have close contacts with Western countries, or have become dumping grounds for Western products and culture. Movies produced in Hollywood
After becoming more and more sophisticated, when audiences seek high-quality movies produced with new technologies, Hollywood is naturally the first choice. Hong Kong produces so many movies every year, but ask yourself, how many of these movies are actually
Is it just fake and shoddy? In fact, everyone knows it, but they can't support the small countries that can't even make movies. In the short-term profit trend, they keep shooting and showing, and finally create a problem.
If you get tired of it, then Hong Kong movies will come to an end." Feng Yifeng sighed and said leisurely. As a man in two lives, he has experienced Hong Kong movies going to glory, watching Hong Kong movies slowly decline, and finally can only find no investment.
Those in the film industry can only rely on co-productions. Hong Kong film professionals have to go north to look for opportunities to survive.
"Isn't this too pessimistic?" Le Yiling was still frightened by what Feng Yifeng said. If this is said, the Western army of Hollywood will be unstoppable and occupy Asia's market that originally belonged to Hong Kong movies.
And where will Hong Kong movies go? "Is there no way to stop it? Have you already thought of a way to deal with it?" Lok Yiling looked to Feng Yifeng full of hope, hoping that he would nod.
Feng Yifeng shook his head with a wry smile and said helplessly: "I am a human being, not a god. I can't change anything. I can only do what I can to change the direction of Hong Kong movies that have gone astray as much as possible. But after all, it is my own strength.
I don’t have much confidence in how much I can achieve. That’s why I need help from Shao Liushu and Zou Wenhuai, because with their help, according to my plan, Hong Kong movies will avoid a lot of detours.”
"Everything you have done before was just for today?"
"Well, because they don't have this kind of strength, do you think Uncle Shao Liu and Zou Wenhuai will take a look at me? They are both old foxes who have been in the entertainment industry for most of their lives. They see things very clearly. Do you think they can't see He?
Does Life have a direct impact on Hong Kong movies? Otherwise, do you think that Chow Wenhuai has spent so many years and invested so much money just because he wants to make gold in the American film market? Chow Wenhuai wants to make Hong Kong movies
The ideal of conveying culture to the United States, the center of the film world, is good, but it is too overestimating. The differences between Eastern and Western cultures have doomed him to failure. Westerners can recognize a Bruce Lee and accept the word 'kungfu'.
But it does not mean that they will allow the second or third Bruce Lee to appear. So the only thing we can do is to minimize the impact of Hollywood movies on Hong Kong movies, do our best, and stabilize the market.
Only in this way can the brand of Hong Kong movies continue."
Feng Yifeng sat back in the car and said sadly: "I have done everything I can. As for the final step, I don't think it is too clear. Because there are too many people who only care about themselves, and many of them will only watch.
Immediate benefits without budgetary consequences. I hope that with the huge influence of Shao Liushu and Zou Wenhuai, this film association can be established to standardize Hong Kong film production. Then there is hope that it will occupy a place in the Asian market in the future and not be completely abandoned.
.”
Life is still going on like this, but Feng Yifeng has always hoped that Shao Liushu or Zou Wenhuai could contact him to discuss the establishment of the film association. But until TVB’s Taiwan celebration night, there was no news. What Feng Yifeng has been planning for several years may be in the last part
Failure. He has basically given up on his desire to integrate the Hong Kong film industry and tie the entire Hong Kong film industry on one warship. What he can do now is to use his familiarity with history as a cheating device to secure the three acres of Tianchen Entertainment.
The best thing to do is to seize the opportunity to expand in Asia again. Then, the ability to withstand the impact of Hollywood in the future should be even stronger.
No one knows about Feng Yifeng's loss. Everyone is paying attention to TVB's celebration and the voting results of the first TV awards ceremony that are updated every day in major newspapers. And at midnight on the night of TVB's celebration, the voting ends.
So who will win the award and who will have the last laugh?
Wireless is more than just a TV awards ceremony. As Taiwan celebrates the month, the newly launched "Five Tigers" meet the audience for the first time. TVB allows five young men that TVB strongly supports, namely Tong Chun-yip, Huang Rihua, Miu Qiao-wai, Andy Lau and Tony Leung, to
A promotional special featuring song and dance performances was filmed to promote the Taiwan celebration and awards ceremony.
These five young and handsome young men really impressed the audience. The song and dance specials they filmed were broadcast every day during wireless commercial breaks. Many viewers who knew them pointed at who they had acted in.
So-and-so TV series, or so-and-so, played a role brilliantly. The audience paid attention, and the media would naturally not let them go. They contacted TVB one after another to conduct interviews and exclusive interviews with the newly released "Five Tiger Generals". Under various public opinions and
With attention, the name "Five Tiger Generals" quickly spread in Hong Kong and became popular.
At this time, TVB also broadcast the behind-the-scenes footage of some singers and actors rehearsing on the Taiwan Festival Night, as well as the pictures of many celebrities working hard and sweating for the Taiwan Festival Night program, in "Happy Tonight" and "Special Programs", which made people feel excited.
The audience can directly see the hard work that these handsome, well-dressed, and handsome artists have to put in to give the audience a satisfactory show, all of which are truly displayed in front of the audience.
This kind of tidbits makes the audience get closer to the real side of the artist and like the artist even more, because this is a real person, not just a fantasy like a hero who can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, or who has a lot of money.
A rich young lady from a rich family. Because in TV dramas, they can only be entertainment, and we cannot see the real side behind the artists. But in this kind of behind-the-scenes, we can see which artists have been famous for many years, or are popular, and spend hundreds of millions of dollars every day.
Hours or even more than ten hours are spent rehearsing the Taiwan Gala Night program. When the camera focuses on a certain actress who is lying in the practice room with no manners after rehearsal, the audience can't help but worry about them and worry that they will suffer as a result.
affected.
Of course TVB is happy to see it arouse so much resonance. A few of them are estimating what the ratings of the Taiwan Festival will be, completely trampling ATV underground. According to the questionnaire survey, among the more than a thousand citizens interviewed,
More than 80% of the audience are looking forward to the wonderful performance of the Taiwan Festival Night, and another 10% said they can watch it if they have time. Only less than 5% of the audience expressed no interest in such a large-scale program.
Wireless's Taiwan Gala Night has begun under such high expectations. As the director, Feng Yifeng is one of the powerful figures of Wireless, and he should have sat in the front row with Shao Liushu to watch. But today, many media members guarding the door,
Unfortunately, the youngest senior executive of TVB could not be interviewed. In the end, Feng Yifeng was the only one missing from the stage of the normal Taiwan celebration, which caused many media to speculate as to why Feng Yifeng, the director of such a large-scale program, was missing.
Woolen cloth?
Feng Yifeng, who disappeared from the crowd, was already sitting on the luxurious gambling boat named "Oriental Dream". The person who received him was the other owner of the gambling boat - He Chaoqiong. This was also the third time that the gambling boat set sail.
Over the past many months, it docked in Hong Kong again for supplies. Chaoqiong also took this opportunity to invite Feng Yifeng to board the ship again. This time there was no reason to refuse. He originally wanted to board the ship after the Taiwanese celebration night of Wireless, but he could follow the maritime regulations
According to the registration time, the gambling boat would go out to sea again at nine o'clock in the evening, and Feng Yifeng had to go alone.
