    A true superstar is always the one who stands out no matter where he is.  "Journalists from TVB are invited to start asking questions!" When Chen Musheng guest-starred as the emcee and shouted these words dryly, a thin female reporter immediately stood up and asked loudly and impatiently: "I  This is TVB Entertainment News reporter He Lin. I would like to ask Xiao Sazai a question. What do you think of the slogan that many people are shouting that Hong Kong movies have been resurrected? Do you think Hong Kong movies can still return to the last century?  "Pfft~" Brother Xiaosha was stunned for a moment, but someone in the audience laughed out loud. Although the snickering person reacted very quickly when he realized something was wrong.  , immediately controlled his facial muscles, and lowered his head to avoid everyone's detection, but his laughter obviously still made the atmosphere at the scene a little awkward, especially the Hong Kong celebrities who came to support  Sons, they look a bit like they don't belong, and their faces are full of complex expressions.  Because the answer to this question is too obvious. There is not much space for Hong Kong movies at all. How can there be any so-called resurrection and development?  There is no way. The small Hong Kong Island has only a few million people. Such a small market cannot support the survival of too many film companies. Therefore, the only way for Hong Kong films to survive is to export film works and try their best.  Only by seizing the living space of the film industry in other countries and regions, just like Korean films, can we continue to survive and develop.  However, this is no longer the 1980s and 1990s. At that time, Asian countries, especially those in Southeast Asia, basically had no local film industry and could not produce any good movies.  There is no policy on quotas for imported films, so Hong Kong films have been brilliant for more than 20 years.  It also created a huge reputation as "Oriental Hollywood".  Now, various regions and countries in Asia have successively introduced quota systems for imported films. At the same time, they themselves have begun to vigorously support the film industry in their own countries and regions, such as South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, etc.  ¡°As a result, Hong Kong movies will no longer be able to make money in other places, no matter how good or bad they were, as before.  It can no longer be suppressed. The local film industry will never develop. It will also face competition, competing with Hollywood and local films.  Well, if it¡¯s just competition, then it doesn¡¯t matter.  Because even if Korean movies started like this, they are still developing very prosperously.  However, Hong Kong¡¯s territory and population are too small after all. South Korea still has a population of 50 million!  Not to mention too much, at least it can barely keep the film company afloat, but this cannot be done in Hong Kong, because even 1/10 of the people watch movies.  The local box office of a movie is less than 20 million.  ¡°However, the various costs of filming in Hong Kong are the highest in Asia. This means that it is impossible to recover the costs locally and has to rely on other places.  ¡°And other places So just like a vicious circle, Hong Kong movies can only get worse and worse. They will never return to the peak era of the last century when they dominated the Asian film industry and dared to compete tit-for-tat with Hollywood.  This is such a simple truth.  Who among the big names in the industry in Hong Kong doesn¡¯t know this?  Therefore, their faces were a little unsightly, and when they were laughed at, everyone felt even more uncomfortable.  After all, they started out in the Hong Kong film industry. Who can bear such ridicule?  "Nima, do you still need to ask me such a simple question?" Although this person didn't expect that there were so many colleagues in the circle, at least he understood something.  Movies need a market!  Hong Kong Island is as small as a bigger place. In addition to making money from real estate, you will definitely lose money from movies!  If the investment cannot be recovered, then no one will invest.  So in order to eat, all the talented people ran away, either to the United States or to the mainland.  Therefore, this has aggravated the deterioration of the situation. How can there be a so-called recovery?  So he glanced at the female reporter and really wanted to say bluntly: This is nonsense, and Hong Kong movies will never be resurrected.  But that¡¯s the behavior of a 2, and he¡¯s not.  Therefore, he still said with a smile: "I personally don't think I can be too optimistic about this issue, because there are many reasons for the decline of Hong Kong movies, such as the shrinking market, the decline of talents, and other factors. Anyway,  You can¡¯t be optimistic that Hong Kong movies are resurrected just because the movie ¡°A Better Life¡± is a hit!¡± At this point, he shrugged: ¡°At the same time, I¡¯m not the boss of a film company, so you¡¯d better ask this question.  Mr. Lin Xiaoming, Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang and Mr. Lin Jianyue.??They are the real big guys in the Hong Kong film industry.  ¡± Although the reporter was not very satisfied with this answer, she still thanked her and sat down, because after all, Brother Xiaosha is also a mainland filmmaker, but he just happened to come across this Hong Kong movie, so for Hong Kong  Whether the film industry is alive or dead, people don't need to worry so much. So soon, the second reporter was also called out by Chen Musheng. This was a male reporter from "Ming Pao", maybe because of the "backstage".  'Awesome, the questions he asked were much more heated - "Director Chen, what do you think of some of the bad reviews on the market?  Some people say that the movie "A Better Day" is actually not that good at all, because it has no connotation. It is a commercial film that is forgettable after watching it. It is almost no improvement compared to your previous works. Do you agree with this statement?  ?  " I admit you are stupid! If it is really possible to curse, Brother Xiaosha believes that Chen Musheng, whose face is full of anger and embarrassment at this time, will definitely curse like this, because this is just a slap in the face  Is there anything wrong? My work is obviously a commercial film that is a hit all over the world, but Nima said that this film has no connotation, and it is a commercial film that is forgotten after watching it. Isn¡¯t this a deliberate slap in the face? What is Chen Musheng trying to suppress his anger?  The answer was brewing, and all the guests in the audience were confused by this question, because to be honest, they were also a little dizzy by this reporter. After all, the film industry in this era can almost be said to have gone through two stages.  At the extreme, they either pursue box office profits or win awards. The so-called works that perfectly integrate artistry and commerciality are really too few, even if there are only a few in the world every year, let alone.  It is a very realistic Hong Kong movie. So if you calculate it this way, "A Better Man" can be regarded as one of the top ones, because its box office performance is likely to top the global box office record of Chinese films.  A big-selling commercial film, isn¡¯t this a perfect victory? With such results, who cares about the so-called connotation? Therefore, many people think that this reporter went too far, as if he was deliberately causing trouble.  They were also looking forward to Chen Musheng's outburst, preferably making the reporter bloody. But they were disappointed, because not only did Lao Chen not spray, he even laughed, nodded slightly and said, "I never did."  I deny that this work is a completely commercial film. I never thought about making this film into an art film with profound connotations, because for me and 99% of the directors in the industry, art films  They are all too luxurious, too expensive, and too dangerous. After all, it must be admitted that art films are only a niche, and it is difficult to make money. If I lose money, I may lose the opportunity to direct my next film.  .  " What he said is very realistic, but it also directly expresses the sentiments of most directors, because since movies are an industry, they must ensure not to lose money and try to make money. Otherwise, investors will not care what you say.  Art, since they invest in movies, they come here to make money. Since you, the director, can't make money for them, then you will lose your job and may not have anything to do from now on. So as soon as he finished speaking, he saw today.  Zhou Xingchi, Zeng Ziwei, Du Qifeng, Er Dongsheng, Liu Zhenwei, etc. who came to the scene, everyone who had ever been a director or was currently a director, everyone applauded, and then under their leadership, the big-name artists also  Everyone applauded, and even some reporters felt that it was reasonable and also clapped their hands to show their support. If it were him who answered this question, he would definitely say without any scruples: "The only way to make money is to make money."  It's a hard truth, and what most people like to see is real art, high-brow stuff. That's not the so-called art, but pretentiousness!  "But fortunately he did not encounter this problem, otherwise, his speech may have caused strong controversy. "Next, the reporters asked almost every main creator, and the questions they asked were also diverse and all-encompassing.  , whether it was scandals, rumors or other things, reporters asked about them all, and almost no one ran away. But, although everyone is the same creative member, the difference in treatment is still very big, or in other words,  This kind of press conference is simply the ultimate expression of popularity, because compared to Xie Tingfeng, Wu Jing, Fang Zhuming and Jiang Ruolin, a certain person has been asked too many times. Someone who was interested even counted them at the end and was shocked to find out.  A total of 42 reporters asked questions, but 20 of them were directed at Tang Xiaosha, and Chen Musheng and Xie Tingfeng both asked 6 times. Wu Jing and other three main creators only received 12 times in total. This is directlyGuoguo's words showed the fact that Tang Xiaosha had indeed completely opened up the distance from Xie Tingfeng, the 'little king', and was at least thousands of miles ahead.  After all, reporters are like flies. The bigger the star, the more attractive it is. So from this aspect, you can completely tell how famous a big name is.  So a reporter sighed to himself: "Damn it, if his new album is as popular as last year, I'm afraid his status will be completely established! Who can compete with him in the Asian entertainment industry in the future?"
