Coquettish Rebirth

Yes, in this era when Hong Kong is about to return, the most noticeable point in the film industry is the immigration of various stars, directors and even staff!And this kind of immigration directly led to the decline of Hong Kong and Hong Kong film circles later. When "Infernal Affairs" arrived, Hong Kong films that once swept Southeast Asia ushered in their final glory, and then declined all the way to the end. There is no chance to stand up!

why?After reading the memories and stories of many Hong Kong celebrities and staff members, Jia Hongjian knew that this kind of thing has little to do with politics, and the most fundamental thing is the brain drain!Originally, according to the traditional model of Hong Kong in the 80s, if a layman wants to enter the film industry, as a star, he must first go to the TVB training class to learn acting skills, and then play tricks in TVB TV dramas. For movies and TV shows, if you don't have a chance, you should be the host first and wait for the opportunity.

Basically, every actor takes this path. When they have the opportunity again, they start with small supporting roles, and then gradually rise up by virtue of their popularity and acting skills.This is true for actors, and the same is true for staff members. After a newcomer enters the industry, the first thing to do is to do housework, that is, to distribute lunch boxes and help with chores.Although this job seems very inconspicuous, in about five years of working on the set, I can fully understand what each position on a set needs to do, and know some basic knowledge of each position!And at the age of 5 or 20, after doing field affairs for [-] years.When you are in your early [-]s, you can start to change jobs as a set recorder, and start to record everything on the set.This position can be said to be a step closer, and it has become a small assistant to the director and others.And at this time, there are even more things to learn!You can even learn how the director divides the shooting ideas!

Then, after another 5 years of recording, I have 10 years of experience in this industry. It can be said that I have never eaten pork or seen pigs running. No matter whether I have done something or not, I can do it. It's time to speak the truth. ( ) At this time, I will either change my job as a screenwriter.Or you can change jobs as an assistant director!After all, the scene recorder was the director's little assistant before, and now the assistant director is the director's big assistant. Under the director's instruction, he followed the director's will and began to guide the cameraman to shoot shots that meet the director's requirements!

Do it for another 5 years as an associate director.Once you have fully learned how to express the language of the lens, and understand everything from low to high, you can change to a director before the age of 40.Start filming yourself!It can be said that in the Hong Kong film system back then, in addition to the strength of the actors, this kind of combination of old, middle-aged and young off-set personnel, and mutual help and guidance were very important.

However, during the frenzied immigrant boom in the early 90s, talent was suddenly out of stock, and the director and assistant directors all ran away when the script was about to start learning the director’s ideas. His script became the director and started making films , It’s a ghost if you can shoot well!And it wasn't just the director and assistant director who ran away, but even the scene staff ran away in the end.The fault of this Nima's talent is that Hong Kong movies can't afford to be hurt!This is no longer considered a brain drain, it should be considered a bloodbath!Under such circumstances, Hong Kong films can last for three or four years, which is already a miracle among miracles!

When Jia Hongjian told Liang Jiahui about this "prediction" of the future, Liang Jiahui and his manager were speechless for a while on the spot!They are Hong Kong people and Hong Kong filmmakers.That is to know how crazy the immigration is now over there!So as long as you think about it a little bit in accordance with Jia Hongjian's thinking, you will basically come to the conclusion that Hong Kong movies are doomed!They have never realized or thought about this conclusion before, and now they suddenly hear it, if they are not stupid, it is completely abnormal!

"In addition, Mr. Liang should know why Hong Kong movies were so brilliant in the early 90s? In fact, isn't the underworld group laundering money behind it? The underworld finds people to make movies, and they always put guns in the script and give them to the actors. Right? The British government of Hong Kong has basically no attack on the underworld, but the government will not let it go. ( ) According to the habits of the government in the mainland. It is not allowed to have stabs at all! You can not be held accountable for any bad things you have done in the past, but After the reunification, whoever dares to make trouble will dare to drag him to the shooting range and shoot him for half an hour! At that time, the underworld figures find that doing black work is too risky, so it is better to clean up and do business with the mainland directly. Will the various film companies and film investment in the environment still be as much as they are now? Can it be maintained at one-tenth of the current level?" Jia Hongjian began to increase his weight again.

Hearing Jia Hongjian's words, Liang Jiahui knew that he was telling the truth!This is really the case in Hong Kong in this era, and it is very likely that it will be the same as Jia Hongjian said when it returns in the future.Then at that time, the overall decline of Hong Kong films is almost inevitable!So, what should Liang Jiahui do?As an actor, maybe I can't even dream of the opportunity to make a bad movie with a bad book in ten years, so what should I do?

At this time, Jia Hongjian began to fool decisively! "Under such circumstances, I personally think that Mr. Liang should really pay attention to the mainland market. Although the income of ordinary people in the mainland cannot be compared with that in Hong Kong, if I remember correctly, in 83 At that time, a uniformed street patrol officer of the Hong Kong Royal Police had a monthly income of 3000 Hong Kong dollars? But now? More than 1? You have developed so fast over the years, but the mainland is not slow. Ten years ago The per capita company in the mainland is more than 30 yuan and 40 yuan. Now it is about 300 yuan. How much will it be in ten years? 3000 yuan? And don’t forget that there are 10 billion people in the mainland. Movies, the box office can reach 5 billion yuan! If such a movie is made, how much should you, Mr. Liang, get as a star? 50 million? 1000 million?"

In Jia Hongjian's remarks, some of the contents are true and some of them are pure deceit!But to Leung Ka Fai, it sounds like this is completely reasonable!Because the market in mainland China is indeed huge, even if there are not many people investing in entertainment, it is very amazing if the total number of people is just over 10 billion.And this kind of astonishment brought high income to the artists!In this case, is it really better to come to the mainland to develop in the future?At that time, there will be more opportunities in the mainland, and you can also cooperate with academic actors, and you can get so much money in the end!

Jia Hongjian seemed to be able to know what Liang Jiahui was thinking without words, and he continued to flicker, "After 97, many people will definitely realize this. Then if everyone goes north to seek opportunities together, the competition will be very fierce." Intense. Instead of this, why didn’t Mr. Liang take a chance to have a drink first? You know, although it is said that it will take four years to shoot, this is just a conservative number for insurance and responsibility to you. According to our own estimates, two to three years will be about the same. After all, Mr. Liang, you know about the set, even if you are still filming, you will rest as long as there is no more scenes for you. In addition, in this scene You are the leading role in it, and we will cooperate with HBO in the United States, BBC in the UK, and NHK in Japan in the future, and my investment of [-] million is not just for my own entertainment!"

This part of Jia Hongjian's deceit can basically be said to have used all the tricks that can be used for deception!He is making a big deal, promising the future, and presenting facts and reasoning. It can be said that these words are very, very convincing. Haven't heard of hbo or bbhk at all?I haven't even heard of any industrial light and magic before!

It's not their fault, because these things are what Jia Hongjian thought about for a moment in his heart.He really thought about getting the film to broadcast on TV stations like hbo or bbc after the filming was finished, but he just thought about it and hadn't started contacting people yet.

However, after hearing Jia Hongjian's words, Liang Jiahui and his manager were really moved.At this time, Liang Jiahui made a decision on the spot - "Okay, since Mr. Jia has made it so clear to me, I will be free if I don't agree, so this role in "Three Kingdoms" is mine! "After he finished saying this, the agent was very anxious-hey brother, the price hasn't been discussed here yet, what are you rushing to agree to do?So he hurriedly followed up—"As long as the price is sincere, after all, we can make a lot of money in two or three years of filming in Hong Kong, tens of millions are just casually shooting!"

What he said was sincere, although at this time Hong Kong films still had very little income from the mainland market, but this was the time when Liang Jiahui was the most popular!In later generations, Leung Ka Fai once made a movie and even got paid 2000 million!

But at this moment, Leung Ka Fai said: "Well, when the time comes, you guys have to write the script for me to have a look, and then we can talk about the price. If the script is well written, I can actually do it without money... ..."

Hearing Liang Jiahui's words at that time, the manager's eyes widened so much that they were about to fall out! In "East and West", Leung Ka Fai almost didn't ask for a salary. Basically, everyone asked him to act and he acted.But now that Liang Jiahui has said so, the manager can only hope that Jia Hongjian and the others will fail to produce a good script...
