I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 730 "Talk Show Conference" (23)

In fact, Hong Kong films had a chance to be reborn in mainland China in 2015.

That opportunity was Monster Hunt.

The actors are from mainland China, mainland capital helps to support and share the money, and the people behind the scenes are basically from Hong Kong. The whole story is a typical Hong Kong comedy, and it was a big hit at the box office, almost surpassing the new box office champion "Fast and Furious 7", which hadn't even sat down yet.

"Monster Hunt" was the biggest winner of that summer season, and it pointed the way forward for Hong Kong films: Hong Kong people worked behind the scenes, while mainlanders stood in the front, with mainlanders taking the lion's share of the profits and Hong Kong people taking the smaller share.

Even though it’s a small amount, but in a place like Hong Kong, the small amount from a mainland hit movie is enough for a whole team to have enough food and drink for the rest of their lives, and to be financially independent!
What happened next? A small place is a small place. When it is in power, it becomes rampant. When it is given a little sunshine, it becomes brilliant. It uses chicken feathers as a token of authority. "Monster Hunt 2" is back to the old ways. Hong Kong actors steal the roles of mainland actors, Hong Kong capital steals the share of mainland capital, and the Hong Kong team squeezes out the mainland team.

The end result was that although money was made, this big IP that could have continued to be filmed died out after only two films.

From 15 to 19, during the five-year golden age of movies, mainland science fiction films became popular, war films became popular, comedies became popular, romance films became popular, art films became popular, and even animated films became popular!

Only Hong Kong films are still stuck in their own little corner, thinking they can copy Monster Hunt and keep stepping on their right foot.

"Integrity Storm 5" is bad enough, but fortunately it is just a bad movie. What kind of storms have Chinese movie fans not seen?

Bad movies can no longer stir up waves in the hearts of the vast number of fans who have been watching along the way!

When the Iceman 3D was packaged, the left and right eyes were mistakenly reversed, so the audience had to wear the glasses backwards, otherwise they would feel dizzy and vomit on the spot...

No one has investigated...

Some Hong Kong artists attribute the success of Hong Kong films to the advantages of the Hong Kong film industry over the mainland film industry...

There is nothing wrong with this industry advantage. It all depends on censorship and the support of the mainland boss!

In the early years, the mainland made gangster movies and police movies, but they just didn’t pass the censorship...

The marketing of "The Tomorrow War" is full of remarks that you owe movie tickets!
The most outrageous thing is that the pirated website called on everyone to watch "The Tomorrow War"...

Then the movie resources released at the same time are complete...

Why did Louis Koo risk it all?
In fact, the filming cost of the movie "The Tomorrow War" is at most 3 million yuan - including various remunerations and publicity and promotion.

This movie was shot in 19.

——"Legend of the Tomorrow" was originally scheduled to be released in 21, and it followed the trend of "The Wandering Earth". We didn't expect 30 or 40 billion, but wanted to double the box office of "Drug War 2". With Louis Koo's fame, we can make around 25, which is about right.

The premium reached 5-8 million yuan...

Those who invest at a premium are all big guys, waiting to reap the profits!

It doesn't matter, Xi Mihua will cover it...

Originally, Xi Mihua could handle it alone...

The problem is that Xi Mihua is in jail!
Suddenly, no one was there to cover the bottom line, and too many people doubled the amount in advance, which made Louis Koo promote like crazy...

Sometimes I really doubt their brains. How many audiences will buy into your mecha movie?
Can the production level of "Tomorrow's War" exceed that of "Pacific Rim"?
The domestic box office is only 6.95 million. Even if it is called the first Chinese mecha science fiction movie, how many viewers will pay for it?

What do you think?

In the mainland, they played the victim, and in a cunning way, they said that the movie "The Lone Moon" in the same period stole his box office. In Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, they said that mainland capital suppressed Hong Kong movies. They are really cunning. No, they have some misunderstanding about the popularity of the Shen Ma combination?
If the jokes in "The Lone Moon" were not as dense as those in previous Mahua films, it would have grossed 30 billion yuan. Would it be necessary to worry about your little tricks?
Think about how early Hong Kong filmmakers constantly adjusted the types and contents of their films in order to cater to the market: drama, martial arts, kung fu, comedy, romance, and police and gangsters. In the fierce market competition...

It’s really sad that it has become like this now!
……

"Talk Show Conference" and "Annual Comedy Competition" are the only two comedy variety shows that have been popular in recent years!
The competitive comedy variety shows that were popular in the past few years, such as "Happy Comedian" and "Crossover Comedy King", have gradually declined.

Deyunshe's "Deyun Douxiaoshe", Kaixinmahua's "Mahua Te Kaixin", and Benshan Media's "Xiangyashan Aidoutuan" are limited group variety shows that only promote their own artists.

Under the impact of short videos and other media, the attention paid to skits on the Spring Festival Gala and satellite TV stations has plummeted.

The only comedy variety show that has become popular, "Talk Show Conference", is a stage for contestants' solo performances. The content of the text is more inclined to the output of the actors' personal experiences. The program pays more attention to the actors' ability to create jokes, audience appeal and personal charm, and focuses on delivering variety show stars. This has a different development direction from actors whose core skill is character creation.

Shen Liang was a guest on the Comedy Contest, and then took a group of people with him to star in the movie New Journey, the TV series Kim Secretary, and the subsequent series Keep You Safe and Annual Meetings Can’t Stop!

The key effect is good, and many actors have signed contracts with brokerage companies and ushered in career development.

"Comedy Competition" has become a popular variety show that mid-level actors are vying to participate in.

Shen Liang has never been on "Tucao Conference" or recorded "Talk Show Conference"...

But he was invited every time.

On the one hand, Ye Feng has a good relationship with him, and on the other hand, he also wants to find new development paths for his actors.

The group of talk show hosts at Xiaoguo Culture are very low-class. When it comes to talk shows in China, especially online programs, you must stay away from two things: one is never to make indiscriminate comments, and the other is to stay away from politics.

But these people all strangely believe in a saying: talk show is the art of offending. But most of them don't understand the subtext behind it: there is a limit to offending, if it is difficult to grasp, it is better not to offend.

Only Xu Zhisheng and Hulan are good...

They neither have the air of a dandy who clinks glasses with pleasure, nor the air of a rough and ruthless man who is ruthless in killing others. They seem like intelligent people with soft hearts.

The others are not so good...

Either it's a pun, or it's about the opposition between men and women, or it's just some internal puns...

Not interesting!
As I said, there are very few variety shows that are suitable for Shen Liang and where he can showcase his eloquence.

Plus the recommendation from his brothers, he contacted Ye Feng...

At that time, Hunan TV was focused on supporting satellite TV and stopped the "Star Academy" program. It decided to make TV dramas on Economic TV. Long Danny and his group left the station and took his trusted generals Ye Feng and He Xiaoxi with them. They jumped to Dragon TV and made "Come on! Good Man" together. But halfway through the program, Long Danny returned to his old employer out of consideration for their old friendship.

Ye Feng chose to stay, while He Xiaoxi left Dragon TV and joined Guangguang Media to do the show "Entertainment Vanguard"...

Later, the two co-founded Xiaoguo.

"Talk Show Conference" has reached its fifth season, and the recording location is also in Qingdao.

And it is located in the Oriental Movie Metropolis Film and Television Industrial Park.
