Chapter 92 Asking for Leave with Humility (3/4)
Hong Kong has many newspapers and magazines, and has also produced many article writers.
There is a man named Tao Jie, I don’t know if you have heard of it...
Known as Hong Kong's new talent.
Comparing the four aging talents, the new talent Tao Jie is obviously very crotch-stretching!
There was a conversation between Xu Zhiyuan and Tao Jie in Singapore. The topic was very big and very direct.
Tao, a literary person from Hong Kong and Taiwan, has a small-minded spirit at heart, and is not suitable for talking about such a grand matter. The whole confrontation was almost a crushing one.
Xu has a clear understanding of the present and his views are very down-to-earth, while Tao's counterpart is full of empty words and weird nagging like a common citizen.
After reading that conversation, I really like Xu Zhiyuan...
Tao Jie and his like are undoubtedly a case of morbid personality. In an era of poverty and weakness, they developed a habit of kneeling and licking the toes of foreigners, so much so that they now look at mainlanders with independent personalities, just like in the movie "The Rescued Jiang".
The jealous look of the black butler towards Django in "Ge".
He is not the kind of person who can be seen, but a person who calls himself a foreign slave, a broken-backed dog who is proud to be a foreign slave!
Forget it, let’s not talk about him. When choosing a general among the dwarfs, a nondescript Tao emerged.
The writing style is superficial and vulgar. It is neither as smooth as Ni Kuang, nor as elegant as Dong Qiao, nor as witty as Li Bihua. To put it bluntly, he is just a third-rate literati.
In terms of thinking, he can only be regarded as a dwarf.
But people like this have columns in many newspapers and periodicals in Hong Kong, so Shen Changlin chose "Bus' Newspaper", which is considered a neutral company.
Although it is called a newspaper, it has been an online media from the beginning - an online newspaper, an Internet-native media that netizens can read anytime, anywhere with their mobile phones or tablets.
In the original time and space, after Li Ruigang joined TVB, he accepted an interview with the Hong Kong media, namely "Bus News".
The same goes for Shen Changlin.
The two sides first talked about the general entertainment environment. Shen Changlin was full of confidence in the mainland entertainment industry: "China is likely to become another major film and television production center after Hollywood!"
“What are the conditions needed to create China’s own Hollywood?
“It requires enough patience and enough investment. Because this is a system that includes a complete industrial chain including talent training, production companies, brokerage companies, industry unions, investment and financing docking, and screenwriters and directors.
But looking back, Hollywood has also experienced bubbles and disorderly development. So what China is experiencing now may slowly settle down and become the basis for the next stage of development."
“For the cultural and entertainment industry, does China have no shortage of good IP?”
"IP has always been produced in China. The previous problem was that the division of labor and integration of industries were not fully developed. For example, if it is adapted into movies and TV shows, you won't know how many times it has been adapted after watching "Journey to the West." But now"
IP "is so popular just because the industry chain has become more mature."
“Has the Internet played an accelerating role in this maturation?”
"Yes, the Internet has accelerated the development of the entire industry. Today's entertainment industry is using big data analysis and research, and artificial intelligence analysis and research."
"Do you think this can replace people?"
"Impossible, movies are art, can you make artificial intelligence have artistic appreciation value?"
Then the topic turned to Wanda’s buying and selling strategies.
Shen Changlin has nothing to say about this: "Anyway, my idea is to focus on the local market first. We don't have any big plans to enter the international market at the moment..."
"Then how do you evaluate the US$2.6 billion acquisition of Legendary Pictures?"
"Legendary Pictures is not worth that much money... I am not comfortable disclosing the specific situation. After all, this is a commercial acquisition!"
Shen Changlin really wanted to tell the truth, but it was really inappropriate...
They are all members of the wealthy class - in the report of "Hollywood Reporter"'s "China Entertainment Special Issue", Shen Changlin, Wang Jianlin, Ma Yun, and Ma Huateng stood together and became the most attractive protagonists of China's future entertainment.
Moreover, Shen Changlin's contraction strategy is obviously contrary to Wanda's radical deployment. Nothing he says feels objective!
"Do you think Hong Kong movies still have a future?"
"Of course!"
Shen Changlin discussed the development prospects of Hong Kong films from various perspectives including history, geography and economy.
"However, it is impossible to return to the peak period of the past. The center of the Chinese film and television industry is BJ, but Hong Kong is still a film center!"
…
The interview is basically a question and answer session. Shen Changlin will answer whatever the other party asks.
It does not involve views on the current situation or anything like that.
The process was quite pleasant, and Shen Changlin also talked about TVB's preparations to introduce "Ghost".
In short, it is a state of affairs suitable for both host and guest!
After accepting the interview, Shen Changlin flew directly to Bangkok.
The crew of "Tang Detective 2" has been waiting for more than a week.
Bao Qiang, Bai Jingting and Wei Xiang are all here.
"Tang Detective 2" is about solving the puzzle of the first part, and by the way leads to Q...
There are five robbers in total. It is not difficult to see that they are all people at the bottom of society. How could people with their status know that there is a batch of gold?
Obviously, someone with identity told them and organized them to intercept the gold. This organizer was Axiang!
The main line of the story is to expose Axiang, Q's temptation and the addition of Qin Feng's character...
…
Bao Qiang in "Detective Chinatown", Shen Changlin thinks it is very necessary!
The character Tang Ren is considered one of the soul characters of "Tang Detective".
A man who was frustrated at home and failed in life fled to Thailand. After following his elder brother in Thailand, he lived a more dignified life than at home. No one knew his past and he had to deal with different low-level people every day. His personality was flamboyant and even arrogant.
The most important thing is that the sharp contrast between Bao Qiang's arrogance, chattering and appearance and Qin Feng's cuteness, stuttering and appearance is a comedy in itself.
But in the original "Tang Detective 3", Bao Qiang's role has been lost - he has become an interfering existence, noisy and nymphomaniac, and it can't be seen that it has any effect on promoting the plot.
This is a failure!
To be honest, Shen Changlin was quite worried about Bao Qiang. After all, his wife had cheated on him, and the whole internet knew about it...
This situation is quite worrying!
But when we met... it was okay, I couldn't tell at all. When chatting with him, I found that he was completely immersed in work, and even asked for advice on "Havoc in Tianzhu".
Shen Changlin was confused: "Isn't your film finished?"
Bao Qiang smiled innocently: "But I think it's a bit too noisy, and the main storyline is too... fake!"
You still know!
Well, Bao Qiang does know that "Havoc in Tianzhu" didn't work, otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared at the Golden Broom Awards to apologize to the audience...
It's rare to know that Wang Jiawei said, "In your eyes, this is just a movie, but to me, it's a world. As the saying goes, only with shortcomings can progress be made." But at the end he said categorically: "I like it. .”
Under the trend of "celebrity grouping", blindly mentioning the people "I like" and blocking the audience's most true views and opinions is like hypnotizing oneself, and the strong and twisted melons can be sweet.
There is also a more classic one - regarding the Golden Broom Awards, no response, I am waiting for news from Cannes...
Bao Qiang has the style of a literary and artistic worker of the last century - if he makes a bad movie, he will apologize and promise never to do it again.
Since Bao Qiang is so candid, Shen Changlin no longer hides it: "Bring me the script and I'll take a look!"
Chapter completed!
