Actors start from the college entrance examination

Chapter 435 Why did you pick up bad movies?

During this period of time, the relationship between the two has been very good, maybe because of their serious devotion to the role, or because everyone is the same kind of person who refuses to admit defeat in their bones.

Apart from hard training, Su Ze likes to chat with Zhang Jiahui very much, and is very curious about the golden generation of Hong Kong Island, whether it is a director or an actor, it is rare to gossip.

"Actually, I'm very envious of you." During the meal, Zhang Jiahui said suddenly: "I haven't acted in a bad movie in the few years since my debut, so I can't do it. I have acted in many, many bad movies, and I dare not watch them until now."

"That's right." Su Ze asked: "It's not just you, why did many seniors accept that kind of play, obviously the script..."

"No way." Zhang Jiahui smiled wryly, "For making money!"

Seeing Su Ze stunned, he explained: "Our actors on Hong Kong Island earn very little money, unless they are big stars like Hua Zai Fa Ge, everyone else is wage earners."

"You mainland stars can appear in variety shows, shoot commercials, endorse brands, and accept other commercial activities..."

"We can't get anything!"

Zhang Jiahui put down his chopsticks and said, "Now you understand why I am called Zha Zhahui?"

"The boss gave too much!"

Su Ze was taken aback for a moment, and then thought that Gu Tianle and Chen Xiaochun might be the endorsers of the game, right?

"If you're good at making movies, the worst ones are TVB actors. After decades of hard work, all they get is their salary."

"You know Lin Baoyi and Li Yaoxiang, right?"

"I can't afford to buy a house until I retire. It's hard to turn around with a small kitchen."

Su Ze was silent. In fact, he had talked with Fatty Yu a long time ago. Now Hong Kong movies basically cannot recoup the cost. If they want to recoup the cost, they can only go to mainland China, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea.

The reason is simple: because no one in the younger generation can take the lead!

It is polite to say that the green and the yellow are not connected, basically it is a direct dating.Therefore, if you want the audience to enter the cinema, you can only rely on Liu Tianwang, Louis Koo Tianle, Liu Qingyun and Zhang Jiahui to support it desperately.

If you are an audience, without these movie kings, is there a reason to watch the movie?

No one watching means that the cost cannot be recovered, the cost cannot be recovered, the film company has closed down, the company has closed down, a large number of filmmakers have lost their jobs, and Hong Kong films have completely collapsed!

The same is true for directors, such as Lin Chaoxian, who say that the Mekong River is awesome and the box office of the Red Sea is a big hit, but what about the previous works?

How many people have seen it?

He has made 24 films so far!
Could it be that the King of Movies is really stupid?

After decades, still don't know how to read the script?

Don't know what a bad movie is?

You know why you want to act?
Not for the entire Hong Kong Island film industry!

If they don't even shoot, who else can?

Who wants to spend money to shoot?

Thinking of this, Su Ze was speechless. To put it bluntly, a movie is also a commodity, and if it is a commodity, it must follow the laws of the market. No matter how powerful the actor is, he must follow the rules of the game.

Fatty Yu even has a theory. He thinks that the past few years are the best years and the best times for Hong Kong filmmakers.

But as a public figure, I never dare to say this sentence publicly. If I say it, many people will come out and scold: You are sick!What's wrong with Hong Kong movies?Are you still touting that today is the prosperous age of Hong Kong movies?

Please note that people are talking about filmmakers, not movies.

As the saying goes, the country's unfortunate poets are lucky, and the lack of low-quality works does not necessarily mean that the actors are not doing well.On the contrary, due to the economic boom in the Mainland, the popularity of second- and third-tier movies, online dramas, and paid movies, as well as the emergence of major businesses have sprung up.

In fact, it is to promote the originally barren film industry on Hong Kong Island to an unprecedented high position.

In this high position, a well-known actor can casually shoot a [-]-episode bad drama female lead, which is a hundred times more than filming a so-called nine-point drama of childhood memories on tvb!
The so-called classic works in the past were actually large quantities and low prices. That's why we saw Zhou Xingchi making ten movies a year.

It seems to be cool, but it is actually the actor's helplessness to hide behind it, because even if he reaches the level of a superstar, his salary is only one-tenth of the current level of a small fresh meat.

What's more, back then there were evil forces controlling the film market. Liu Tianwang was once asked to make a film by holding a gun to his head.

As well as the embarrassment of pirated disc dealers slapping their faces, we all owe Master Xing a movie ticket. Is it fake?
Not just Master Xing, right?

In Su Ze's view, the reason why all kinds of big bay stars go north to make money is actually a karmic cycle.Back then we all watched pirated copies and went whoring for nothing, now the retribution has come, right?
You will have to pay it back sooner or later!

What's more, it's not just the actors who are in decline, the directors and screenwriters are even worse. To give the simplest examples, the "Macao Wind and Cloud" series and the "God of Gamblers" series.

The same front and backstage scene, Wang Jing leads Hong Kong movie generalissimo Chow Yun-fat, plus the acting comedy Fai, plus the actress who was Deling at the time was Zhang Min, now Jing Tian, ​​plus the handsome guy follower, and the funny action elements ...

With so many similarities, it stands to reason that the quality of the film should be similar, right?
The results of it?
There are a hundred kings of thousands of kings in the middle!

Director Wang Jing has already passed the period of struggling to make jokes. He wants to retire in peace of mind and comfortably. If you can collect some Internet buzzwords casually, you can get a billion box office. How can you let him be aggressive?

The previous Wang Jing movies were full of classic jokes, but today's Wang Jing movies are themselves jokes.

"Hong Kong Island is still too small." Cheung Ka Fai complained: "It's not that far from one set to another, maybe we didn't leave the filming base."

"It's a big deal to go to Southeast Asia, Thailand, and the Philippines to shoot scenes, which is about the same distance as the magic capital to the capital. For actors, it's good to have a job. Who can produce high-quality goods every time?"

"It's time for dinner!"

Su Ze laughed. Actually, there are many reasons, such as survivor bias. Why do American dramas and Japanese comics seem to be high-quality products?

Nonsense, who will translate and import those rotten ones?
Don't people want to eat?
Only fine works can be translated, and only fine works can be seen by you.

"How long are you going to act?" Su Ze asked suddenly, "Until you can't act anymore?"

"How is it possible!" Cheung Ka Fai laughed and said, "Who will watch a film in the seventies or eighties?"

"There is no peak in my acting career. I will keep running and running. Wherever I go, I feel really tired one day and don't want to act anymore. That is my peak and my end."

Seeing Zhang Jiahui's half-joking and half-serious appearance, Su Ze was in awe.

Immediately fifty people sweat like rain every day, insist on high-intensity training without saying a word when their fingers are interrupted, and dare to challenge the limit after becoming famous...

His smile has a different emotion, it is easy to remind people of the past, it is easy to make people feel... like ten years.

The same song can make you laugh out loud ten years ago, or it can make your eyes fill with tears ten years later.

From the beginning of his debut, he was funny, pretended to be ugly, and played tricks. After 30 years of hard work, it was only now that the actor joined him and played the leading role.

Such an actor is a real role model for the seniors!
