Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 376 Chen Ailun's Ambition
Hong Kong's film and television industry was once a global shining star.

At its peak, it was almost second only to Hollywood.

However, the world is still developing.

Market size, economic scale, outdated themes, outdated concepts... Under the constraints of various factors, the Hong Kong film and television industry, which was once second to none, is no longer what it used to be.

However, even during the heyday of Hong Kong film and television, their martial arts dramas still had some fatal flaws.

There are two flaws that left the deepest impression on Zhou Hao - first, the conditions on the set were too shabby.

There are only one or two sesame-sized film and television bases in total, and it is easy for people to confuse the scenes when shooting back and forth.

Moreover, the costumes and props on the set were terrible. The rocks were made of foam blocks, the waterfalls were disguised with plastic sheets, and the rooms always looked very small. The so-called palace hall looked smaller than other people's toilets...

When I was a child, I often ignored these flaws when watching TV series because I was focused on the development of the plot. But once I grew up and started to revisit the classics and take a closer look, I could clearly feel the roughness that could not be concealed.

Second, the screenwriter's adaptation of the story is too narrow.

Maybe it’s because their growing environment limits their vision, the things these martial arts screenwriters write always feel a bit off.

It was clearly a massive martial arts battle, but he could film it as a fight at the village entrance.

It was clearly a famous heroic gathering, but he managed to make it look like a village committee meeting...

If we just shoot pure Jianghu stories, these flaws will not be very obvious. But if we magnify them into some works with a broad vision and pattern, these flaws will become very obvious.

It is really difficult to expect people who were raised in a remote corner to understand what the true meaning of "family, country and the world" is. Naturally, we can't expect them to film the vast and heroic scenes of "the greatest heroes serve their country and the people".

This kind of petty-mindedness that emanates from the bones cannot be remedied by any acquired means.

No matter how good the rhythm adaptation, the camera language, or the cast is, they are all powerless in the face of this kind of congenital disability.

Zhou Hao really doesn't want these martial arts classics that he brought over to be ruined by those Hong Kong filmmakers whose glory days are no longer there.

Hearing Zhou Hao's worries, Xie Tianfei's smile faded a little.

He knew very well that these were all true.

Although it sounds a bit harsh, this is the reality.

Hong Kong's martial arts dramas can no longer keep up with the mainland in terms of production scale or ideological structure.

But he was a person who had witnessed the glory of that martial arts era with his own eyes, and the obsession in his heart could not be easily erased.

After thinking for a long time, he opened his mouth and tried to ask, "How about this? I don't need the film and television copyright, but if your work is adapted into a film or TV series in the future, can you bring us along to play with it?"

We are referring to the media industry behind the old man, which has many actors and artists under it.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Hao nodded: "Okay, but I can't be the protagonist."

This is the bottom line, and it needs to be made clear in advance.

"But you can't be just a supporting role." The old man didn't make any unreasonable demands. He was able to recognize the situation clearly.

The new generation of Hong Kong actors today are no longer qualified to compete with mainland stars for roles.

The two of them each took a step back, and the matter was preliminarily settled.

After eating and drinking, the old man took a photo with Zhou Hao and uploaded it to his Weibo.

"We have a new guest at home today. I am very happy."

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused quite a stir.

Although the old man has retired from society, his influence cannot be underestimated.

An hour later, the term #Two generations of martial arts masters meeting# became a hot search.

[Damn, what a dream collaboration! ] [Both chefs are delighted! ]

[Mr. Xie looks in good spirits. Does he seem to have recovered? ]

[Wow, what a huge mansion! Too luxurious! ]

[Nonsense, Repulse Bay's top luxury house, what am I messing with you about? ]

[Mr. Xie, please help him to urge the new book, don't let him write some messed up fairy tales! ]

After seeing this message, Xie Tianfei replied cheerfully: "Okay, I will definitely urge you to do it."

He was not just joking, he actually started to urge the book on the spot, "When are you going to continue the trilogy? I don't have many years left to live."

Again!
The old man used this trick when he was urging the release of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" before!
After more than a year of urging, I can see that my body is getting healthier and healthier!
But I can only think about this in my heart, and I can only say it out loud...

Soon, soon.

Definitely next time!
At Xie Tianfei's enthusiastic invitation, Zhou Hao stayed overnight in this top-notch luxury house.

Xiao Chen also stayed with them. This guy was obviously a regular customer and had his own room.

When he was about to start writing after taking a shower in the evening, Chen Ailun suddenly knocked on the door and walked in. Zhou Hao was so scared that he quickly put on his coat.

Chen Ailun was stunned by his reaction, and then he spat: "Get lost, I like women!"

Zhou Hao smiled awkwardly, "It's so late... is there something wrong?"

"I can't sleep." Chen Ailun sat down at the tea table. "Let's chat. It won't interfere with your writing, right?"

Zhou Hao shook his head and sat down opposite him. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Chen Ailun made a cup of scented tea by himself. After a long silence, he suddenly said, "I want to develop in the mainland. Do you think it's reliable?"

"Ah?" Zhou Hao was a little confused. "Don't you have business in the mainland?"

"It's different." Chen Ailun shook his head and said, "What I mean is to give up the market here and move the focus of business to the mainland."

"Why do you have this idea?"

"The Hong Kong market is hopeless," Chen Ailun sighed. "It was small to begin with, and it has been shrinking over the past two years. Even if you work your ass off to make a Cantonese song, you may not be able to sell 50,000 copies."

"On the contrary, in the mainland market, even without any promotion, if you just put it on the shelf, you can sell hundreds of thousands of copies... The gap is really too big."

"The center of the future world must be in the Chinese mainland. If we still cling to this little piece of land in Hong Kong, we will definitely be left behind by the times."

Tsk, I didn't expect that although this kid looks confused, he actually has a clear mind!
Many veterans in the circle don’t see things as clearly as he does.

"Does your father know about this? What does he think?"

Chen Ailun sneered, "If my father agreed, why would I bother nagging you? I would have packed my bags and headed north long ago!"

Zhou Hao asked with amusement: "Why doesn't he agree?"

"I'm old and timid." Chen Ailun curled his lips and said, "He's always afraid of this and that. One moment he's worried that I'll be bullied because I'm unfamiliar with the place. The next moment he says I can't make a living without anyone to protect me. The next moment he says I'm not capable enough to make a living... Anyway, he never says a good word about me."

Zhou Hao smiled and shook his head, "Since your father doesn't agree, what's the point of telling me this?"

"I told you to think of a solution." Chen Ailun rolled his eyes and said, "The old man has been praising you in front of me recently, saying things like... If you were half as capable as Zhou Hao, I would have let you go long ago!"

"Listen, isn't it infuriating?"

Zhou Hao chuckled, "Your father is quite honest."

"Get lost!" Chen Ailun cursed with a smile, "We have agreed that you have to help solve this matter. I will naturally give you a thank you gift later. I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
