I didn't want to be an actor

Hong Kong films actually had a chance to be reborn in the mainland in 2015.

That opportunity was "Monster Hunt".

The actors were from the mainland, mainland capital helped to support and share the profits, and the behind-the-scenes team was basically a Hong Kong team. The whole story was also a typical Hong Kong comedy. It was a big hit at the box office and almost surpassed the new box office champion "Fast and Furious 7" which had not even sat on the seat yet.

"Monster Hunt" was the biggest winner of that summer season and pointed out the way forward for Hong Kong films: Hong Kong people were behind the scenes, mainlanders were in the front, and the mainland took the majority of the money, while Hong Kong people took the minority.

Although it was a minority, in Hong Kong, the minority of a hit movie in the mainland was enough for a team to have no worries about food and drink for a lifetime and be financially free!

Then what? Small places are small places. They are rampant when they are in power, and they are brilliant when they are given a little sunshine. They use chicken feathers as a token of authority. "Monster Hunt 2" went back to the old ways, with Hong Kong actors stealing the roles of mainland actors, Hong Kong capital stealing the share of mainland capital, and Hong Kong teams squeezing out mainland teams.

The final result is that although it made money, this big IP that could have continued to shoot died in two films.

From 2015 to 2019, during the five-year golden age of movies, mainland science fiction films rose, war films rose, comedies rose, romance films rose, art films rose, and even animated films rose!

Only Hong Kong films are still spinning in their own little corner, thinking that they can copy Monster Hunt, and always stepping on their left foot.

"Anti-Corruption Storm 5" is bad enough, but fortunately it is just a bad movie. What storms and waves 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 come all the way!

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

No one investigated it deeply...

Some literary and artistic workers in Hong Kong attributed the success of Hong Kong movies to the advantages of the Hong Kong film industry over the mainland film industry...

There is no industrial advantage, it all depends on censorship and the mainland to feed it!

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

The marketing of "The Battle of Tomorrow" is full of remarks that you owe movie tickets!

The most outrageous thing is that the pirated website called on everyone to watch "The Battle of Tomorrow"...

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 Battle of Tomorrow" is at most 300 million yuan - including various film remunerations and publicity.

This movie was shot in 2019.

——"The Battle of Tomorrow" was originally expected to be released in 2021. After "The Wandering Earth", it followed suit. It didn’t expect 3 billion or 4 billion. It just wanted to double the cost of "Drug War 2". With Louis Koo’s reputation, it was about 2.5 billion.

The premium reached 500-800 million yuan...

The premium investors are all big guys, waiting to cut the leeks!

It doesn’t matter, Xi Mihua will cover the bottom...

Originally, Xi Mihua could handle it alone...

The problem is that Xi Mihua went to jail!

No one backed up the money, and too many people doubled the amount in advance, which made Louis Koo crazy in promoting...

Sometimes I really doubt their brains. How many audiences will buy into your mecha movie?

Can the production level of "The Tomorrow War" exceed that of "Pacific Rim"?

Its domestic box office is only 695 million. Even if it is the first Chinese mecha science fiction movie, how many audiences will buy it?

What are they thinking?

Selling misery in the mainland, and being weird about "The Lone Moon" in the same period stealing his box office, and saying in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia that mainland capital suppresses Hong Kong movies, it's really the style of an old yin-yang person.

No, they have some misunderstanding about the popularity of the Shen Ma combination?

If the jokes in "The Lone Moon" are not as dense as those in the previous Mahua movies, it would have a box office of 3 billion. Is it necessary to worry about your trifles?

Think about how Hong Kong filmmakers in the early days constantly adjusted the types and contents of their films in order to cater to the market, such as 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 talked about in recent years!

The competitive comedy variety shows "Happy Comedian" and "Cross-border Comedy King" that were popular in the past few years have gradually declined.

Deyun Club's "Deyun Douxiao Club", Happy Twist's "Twist is Specially Happy", and Benshan Media's "Ivory Mountain Love Dou Group" are limited group variety shows that only promote their own artists.

Under the impact of short videos and other media, the attention to the sketches of the Spring Festival Gala and satellite TV has dropped sharply.

The only popular comedy variety show "Talk Show Conference" is a solo stage for contestants. The content 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 shows. This has a different development direction from the actors whose core skills are character creation.

Shen Liang was a guest on the Comedy Contest, and then took a group of people with him, starring in the movie "New Journey", the TV series "Kim's Secretary", including the subsequent "Keep You Safe" and "Annual Meeting, Can't Stop!"...

The key effect is good, many actors have signed with brokerage companies and ushered in the development of their careers.

"Comedy Contest" 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 has been invited to every session.

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

A bunch of talk show actors in Xiaoguo Culture are very low. In China, talk shows, especially online programs, must stay away from two points: one is never to smear, and the other is to stay away from politics.

But this group of people strangely believe in a sentence: talk show is the art of offense. But most of them did not understand the subtext behind it: offense needs limits, if it is difficult to grasp, it is better not to offend.

Only Xu Zhisheng and Hu Lan are not bad...

They don’t have the air of a dandy who clinks glasses, nor the air of a decisive and reckless person. They are like smart people with soft hearts.

The others are not very good...

Either homophonic puns, or playing the opposition between men and women, or talking about some internal puns...

It’s boring!

As I said, there are very few variety shows that are suitable for Shen Liang and can show his eloquence.

In addition, his brothers recommended him, so he contacted Ye Feng...

At that time, Hunan TV was committed to supporting satellite TV, stopped "Star Academy", and made Jingshi TV to make TV dramas. Long Danny and his group left directly, taking his trusted generals Ye Feng and He Xiaoxi with them, and jumped to Oriental TV to make "Come on! Good Man" together, but halfway through the show, Long Danny returned to his old employer out of consideration for the old relationship.

Ye Feng chose to stay, while He Xiaoxi left Oriental TV and joined Guangguang Media to make "Entertainment Pioneer"...

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 in the Oriental Film Metropolis Film and Television Industrial Park.
