Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 48 Digging up the roots of the Hong Kong circle
at the same time.

Countless people are following the blog posted on Monday.

Even the noise in the comment section stopped.

[As we all know, there are two Chinese actors who are recognized as having international influence, Cheng Long and Jet Li. ]

[The former went to Hollywood three times and became an international superstar with the movie "Rush Hour".]

[The latter started out as a low-paid villain and gained a foothold through R-rated films. ]

[However, a certain international movie star who boasted and praised himself was amazing. He played the leading role in his first Hollywood movie. What was the result? ]

["The Replacement Killers" lost money, "The Edge of Time" lost money, and "Anna and the King" lost money. If Jet Li hadn't missed out on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" due to his wife's pregnancy, this actor would probably never have had the chance to return to Hollywood in his lifetime.]

[Then his second venture into Hollywood was another huge failure. The Dragon Ball movie released in March this year was a huge loss. Is this an international movie star? I think it was box office poison.]

[I advise investors with insufficient financial resources to use this with caution. Their pay is calculated in US dollars, and their losses are also calculated in US dollars. Those without financial resources cannot afford the losses.]

There is no mention of who it is, but every word clearly reveals one word - send.

How cruel.

This is the only idea that everyone has when they see it.

The domestic entertainment industry has only recently been connected with Hong Kong and Taiwan, not to mention the distant Hollywood.

I just feel that once I’ve been to Hollywood, my worth has doubled.

As the leading actor in many Hollywood movies, Chow Yun Fat must be an international movie star.

But the blog post [See you on Monday] clearly puts the data in front of us.

Is it normal that an actor who has always failed at the box office and has been discarded by Hollywood is highly praised in China?
The key point is that your level is not good enough. You charge Hollywood wages for making movies in mainland China, and you are taking advantage of the investors.

Just like the emperor's new clothes, everyone pretended nothing happened until it was revealed.

But once the truth is revealed, what follows is the collapse of trust.

Are Hong Kong filmmakers really a panacea for box office success?

Could it be that...we have been fooled?
And at a dinner party of very high standards.

Uncle Benshan is chatting with Mr. Han from China Film Group about plans for his new movie.

"I'm planning to make a martial arts movie, not the kind with fighting and killing, but a comedy. The director is currently interested in Wanwan's Zhu Yanping. The cost is about 30 million. Are you, China Film Group, interested in getting involved?" Uncle Benshan asked.

"Dollar?" Han Sanping asked back.

"Renminbi, no big deal." said Uncle Benshan.

"Sure, we can discuss it when the script comes out. Anyway, it will be enough for a few companies to pool their investment." Han Sanping said casually.

He is focused on releasing Chinese blockbusters and doesn't pay much attention to small and medium-sized productions.

As he spoke, the latter's assistant trotted over, whispered a few words, and handed the phone to Han Sanping.

Han Sanping took a few glances and immediately laughed, "Benshan, you should change the director of your new movie. I guess the filmmakers in Hong Kong and Taiwan are not very willing to cooperate with your Benshan Media."

Although he was smiling, his eyes were focused on the article on his phone.

Few people would analyze the Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers who go north in such detail.

Just because people know their identities, they subconsciously assume that they are experienced and capable.

But in this article, if we take away the halo of Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers, we will see that they are just a bunch of money-hungry businessmen.

After all, the domestic environment has endowed artists with a lofty status, and artists will try their best to live up to this honor.

Tang Guoqiang was called a cream boy, but he managed to become a Zhuge Liang in his middle age. But the artists in Hong Kong and Taiwan are just actors.

On the contrary, it is difficult for the noble people among them to survive in such an environment.

Uncle Benshan heard something wrong in the tone, and after a quick thought, he came up with the answer. He slapped his thigh and said, "Is it my apprentice who is causing trouble again?"

"It can't be said to be a whole lot of trouble. It's about making some people return to where they should be, and letting some inflated people recognize their own weight." Han Sanping said in a deep voice.

Those who were singled out for criticism were all well-known double-dealers in the circle.

He has a certain reputation in the business world, but it is of no importance to the higher-ups. What is more important is that these people are indeed dishonest, and it is a good thing to take this opportunity to give them a warning.

"That means this kid did a pretty good job. I'll have to talk to him later. No matter how well he does, he should be modest and not be arrogant."

Uncle Benshan immediately responded. Although he had not seen the article yet, he was well aware of the character of his apprentice.

For Han Sanping to pay so much attention to it, it must be a big deal.

I guess this must have really hurt people in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grin. As a master, he was very low-key outside every day, but this guy was like Monkey King, wanting to poke a hole in the sky.

"You are really protective of your disciple. Don't worry, as long as your disciple behaves properly, those people will be fine no matter how loudly they cry. But you really need to talk to them. Once or twice is fine, but you still have to pay attention to the overall situation and the impact." Han Sanping reminded him implicitly.

It’s simple, harmony is always the main theme of the two places.

"Okay, I'll definitely talk to him when I get back. Let me see what he wrote."

Uncle Benshan took the phone from Han Sanping, and when he saw the title, his heart skipped a beat. Then he read the analysis of Zhou Runfa, and his eyes twitched twice.

The guy behind didn't stop, from Wang Jing to Chen Kexin and then to Wu Baige.

Almost all the people in Hong Kong and Taiwan who have been showing off recently have been criticized.

[Red Cliff is a good epic movie, but it was turned into a movie called "Moe Moe Stands Up". A bunch of celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau praised Kurosawa Chiling. The screenwriter Lu Wei probably regretted using this name, but it's not bad to make some money.]

[Only the investors lost money in “The Warlords”, but the entire crew, including Chen Kexin, made a lot of money.]

[Wang Jing, the bad Hong Kong movies are closely related to him. If the Hong Kong movies were not so bad that they cheated Taiwanese businessmen, the Hong Kong market would not be in this state.]

Seeing this, Uncle Benshan couldn't bear to watch any further. No wonder such a trivial matter could alarm Han Sanping.

It's fine if the fig leaf has been stripped off.

All the ways of making money in the mainland and how to use mainland celebrities to promote their own newcomers are written down.

In the future, whether it is the audience or the investors, when they see the lineup of Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers, they will naturally no longer blindly believe in them.

This article is equivalent to digging up the roots of the Hong Kong circle.

"Ahem, the article written by this [See you on Monday] is really sharp. I suggest that you contact this blog and have it blocked immediately. It is destroying the relationship between us and our counterparts in Hong Kong and Taiwan." Uncle Benshan said sternly.

Han Sanping found it funny. Everyone knows that this [See you on Monday] is closely related to your apprentice.

But to be honest, there are indeed two different feelings between putting on a layer of skin and not putting on any skin at all.

He was somewhat curious about how people from Hong Kong and Taiwan would react.

The Hong Kong reporters who read the article standing at the gate of Liaotai felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

Xu Ming was right, they saw the fireworks.

It’s just that the fuel for these fireworks is the Hong Kong circle.
