Chapter 270 The Characteristic Culture Infused Into the Bone
With the launch of "I Can Type", it became popular.

"Hong Kong Island Film and Television New Talent Support Program" can be said to be really on the right track.

For those Hong Kong Island actors who have acting skills but have no stage to show them, and no chance to show them.

Such commercials undoubtedly gave them the best opportunity to show.

What's even more surprising is that Lin Miao, the heroine in "I Can Type", and Li Xueting, the piano girl, both played the role of "I Can Type" in just a few days after "I Can Type" went live. I got an invitation to audition for a TV series "Lovers of Lies".

Of course, it is also possible that the crew of "Lovers of Lies" wanted to take the opportunity to promote the hype, but anyway, this is indeed a shot in the arm for the "Hong Kong Island Film and Television New Talent Support Program".

In the end, Li Xueting, who plays the piano girl, successfully auditioned and will play the No. [-] female villain of "Lie Lover".

Although it was said that Lin Miao lost the selection in the end, and the piano girl was selected instead, it also proved that the plan of supporting newcomers in the commercial video got off to a good start!

Because "Lie Lover" is not a leftover drama series, on the contrary, the director of this drama series is a well-known romantic drama director in the Mainland.

This was indeed a pleasant surprise.

As a result, Li Xueting successfully signed a contract with a brokerage company in the Mainland.

In fact, it is normal to think about it.

Li Yi's idea actually hit the most critical point.

Many companies want to launch new artificial stars, but they actually require high costs.

As for Li Xueting and Lin Miao, new Hong Kong actors, their biggest shortcoming is that they are not well-known and recognized by the public.

However, after starring in such popular short films as "I Can Type", they have gained initial fame and recognition.

In this way, naturally, the threshold for making stars is lowered.

The first step for a newcomer is the most difficult, because whether it is Hong Kong Island or the Mainland, most of the time, except for a few very lucky people, otherwise, it is impossible to directly reach the sky after debuting.

It needs to go through countless tempering, and only after gaining fame will someone dare to use it.

Then, some young directors in Hong Kong Island began to take over the advertising ideas of the Four Seasons Advertising Company, provided by Li Yi, and starred by the first batch of newcomers on the support list of Hong Kong Island.

Although those commercials may not be as creative as "I Can Type", they are all commercials from another world that can be collected by people.

Of course, it will take a long time to verify and ferment the specific effect.

But at least, the "Hong Kong Island Film and Television Newcomer Support Program" has at least made a good start.

And more than that, although "I Can Type" doesn't have any big-name guest stars, but its director Li Yi is the biggest.

Among the works made by other Hong Kong newcomer directors later, they all adopt the method of "bringing the old with the new".

For example, Chen Weijie, Lin Jinrong, Wu Ting, etc., the veteran kings of Hong Kong Island, and the popular niche, each commercial will have at least one cameo.

Don't underestimate this cameo.

For popular stars like Chen Weijie and the others, a cameo appearance may only need to show their face, but they can gain a good reputation of supporting the younger generation, why not do it?
As for commercials, there is definitely a huge difference between having a big star guest star and not having a big star guest star.

Because of the cameo appearance of a big star, the fame and popularity of the big star can be borrowed, so that the commercial can get some natural traffic in the initial stage.

And Li Yi stopped paying attention after "I Can Type" was launched.

"The King of Comedy" kicks off in a low-key manner on Hong Kong Island!
It is also the first time for Li Yi to make a movie of the style of "The King of Comedy".

Although "My Sassy Girlfriend" also contains a bit of nonsensical elements, it is not really nonsensical style after all.

"The King of Comedy" is completely different, this is a true nonsensical comedy style of Hong Kong Island.

Of course, I won’t talk about the kernel or something, but at least in terms of the way of expression, it is true.

But after the filming started, Li Yi discovered that nonsensical seems to have become something engraved in the bones of actors on Hong Kong Island.

It went extremely smoothly, because it included group performances, leading actors, etc. Although I didn't say it all over again, it was true that they all seemed to be very familiar with the nonsensical performance style.

At the beginning, Zhou Xing and others were the leading actors, and they were still a little bit reticent, but after Li Yi got angry a few times, they started to open up the acting, and the result made Li Yi feel very satisfied.

Zhuo Yixiong explained to Li Yi why he made nonsense-style comedies. The actors on Hong Kong Island, from well-known actors to temporary group performances, are very familiar with and good at.

"It's actually very simple, because they can be said to have really grown up watching this kind of style of movies and dramas when they were young. After the nonsensical culture became popular, it can be seen almost everywhere in Hong Kong Island's film and television works."

"So, many Hong Kong actors, including Chen Weijie, Luo Xian, and even you, you will find that there are traces of nonsense in many of their film and television works."

"It can be said that this is also a kind of regional culture." Zhuo Yixiong said with a smile.

Li Yi thought back, it really was like this.

In fact, it is not only Hong Kong Island that has unique local film and television culture characteristics, such as the nonsensical style.

You will find that many Hong Kong Island film and television dramas, even if they are more serious themes, usually have some nonsensical styles more or less.

Similarly, other places also have unique characteristics, but they are not so obvious.

And because Hong Kong Island has experienced a film era that was once extremely brilliant, the characteristics of this aspect will be more prominent.

Perhaps in another ten years, this unique nonsensical style may gradually no longer be familiar to the new generation of actors, but at least at this stage, almost all Hong Kong Island actors may not be so distinctive in other aspects, but Nonsense is engraved in the bone.

There is an idiom called "creating something out of nothing", as if there is a style without a style, Wulitou without a "head" also becomes a "head".Whether you have a crew cut, a bald head, a middle parted head or a curly back, you can think that nonsensical is inexplicably funny, you can also think that nonsensical is a very fashionable trend of thought, or nonsensical is just a slogan like Amitabha.

And these are implanted in all aspects of the life of Hong Kong Islanders, and can even be regarded as a habit.

The filming process of "The King of Comedy" was actually quite joyful.

Li Yi was not a particularly serious director. It can be said that the atmosphere is completely opposite to Li Yi's other films made earlier.

Because "The King of Comedy" is actually a comedy on the outside, even if the core is tragedy, but the way it is expressed is comedy.

So during the shooting process, it was full of joy.

Of course, sometimes NG is also because actors often can't help laughing.
