Chapter 272: Past and Future (4)

Those who win the mainland win the world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is generally a good statement, and it can reflect the mentality of some Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainers who have come to the mainland to develop their careers to a considerable extent.

Speaking of which, this should be normal. In a huge country, if the center of gravity of the cultural and entertainment industry is concentrated on the small land or small islands outside the vast inland, it is called a strange thing. In the past 30 years of reform and opening up, with the economic rise and take-off of the mainland, the development of cultural and entertainment industries is naturally unstoppable.

Under this trend, the entertainment people in Hong Kong and Taiwan, who originally occupied the main position in the performing arts and entertainment industry in the Greater China Circle, really don't need to be too indulged in their own past and lament the decline and decline of the present. Because there is no tiger in the mountains, the monkey can be called the king, and if there is a tiger in the mountain, the monkey must give way. This is a natural law of nature, and there is no need to mind. The decline in status is not because the monkey has become a bug, but because the monkey has always been a monkey and cannot become a beast of prey in front of a tiger. If the monkey can't accept the reality, he doesn't seek self-preservation or enterprising in the mountains where the tiger has come, retreats from a corner and still hypnotizes himself to dream of the king of the mountain, and laughs at the strong behind his back, and is really eaten by the tiger one day, it is also self-inflicted.

In the past, those artists outside the mainland system, who had a little way, tried their best to develop in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Lucky and powerful, there are so many who have debuted in Hong Kong and Taiwan to become famous and become big stars, with Wang Lingfei as a typical representative, compared with the large base of "Hong Kong drifting" and "Taiwan drifting" personnel in the past, there are very few people like her who can become famous and return with fame after all.

The so-called 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi are now reversed. is for the sake of money, Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are also doing everything possible to get a piece of the pie in the vast performing arts market in the mainland. In the early years, Hong Kong and Taiwan artists were still very good at making money in the mainland. In the era when Hong Kong films were popular, second- and third-rate Hong Kong and Taiwan artists who filmed a few TVs on Hong Kong TV stations could immediately get acquainted with each other in the mainland, and then go to the mainland to make money, and it was normal for them to be two or three times more valuable than mainland artists with similar fame in the same period.

More than a decade later, this situation is slowly changing. Mainland artists are facing more development opportunities and more fierce competition, and the status and value of those who stand out have also risen all the way, and they are no longer inferior to Hong Kong and Taiwan artists with similar fame.

In the mainland, the environment for the development of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists is relatively much more relaxed than that for mainland artists to develop in Hong Kong and Taiwan. In terms of absolute fairness, that does not exist anywhere. Even local artists have to face various competitions from their local peers, after all, the entertainment industry is not a charity, and there are only a limited number of people who can be on the table, regardless of whether they are local or foreign. It's just that compared with other regions, the mainland's restrictions on the development of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are much smaller, because the market is vast, there are many people who share the soup, and there is more room for each to exert himself according to his ability. Especially now, how many years have passed since the return of Hong Kong and Macao, and in the mainland, the distinction between Hong Kong artists and mainland artists is getting smaller and smaller. At present, Hong Kong's performing arts industry is obviously weak, and there are signs of a shortage of performing arts talents, and mainland performing arts talents are no longer competing to go to Hong Kong for development as they did in the past.

Chenxing began to contact the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, but his official debut was in Taiwan, and Hong Kong represents only the concept of home for him, nothing else. He has no sense of identity with himself as a Hong Kong artist. However, he also knows that he does not belong to a purely Taiwanese artist. Now that I have come to the mainland, my career is struggling. When it comes to the entertainment circles in the three places, he has no sense of belonging to any place. In Gu Lian's opinion, this is a bit strange and not very good. Of course, on the other hand, it is not entirely impossible that there is nothing wrong with this kind of thing. When Chenxing's career in the mainland reaches a certain level, this situation will make him more recognized in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, but at present, this benefit will not be highlighted.

"All in all, from the perspective of the overall environment, you still have a lot to do in the mainland." Gu Lian smiled at Chenxing. Teachers will give students a little confidence and encouragement before the exam.

"Well, yes, you have to be famous to be promising." Yin Rongyu deliberately distorted it, but no one paid attention to him. A person who always likes to say mean things, as long as he gets used to it, let him go, and treat whatever he says as nonsense, and his immunity will naturally be greatly improved over time.

Gu Lian picked up the eraser board and erased the words on the whiteboard, and after wiping it clean, he held the oil-based pen and drew a big triangle on the whiteboard, reaching the edge of the whiteboard from the top to the bottom.

"Let's give examples and briefly introduce some of the types of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists who have developed in the mainland. It should be noted here that Hong Kong and Taiwan artists here mainly refer to artists who have debuted and developed in Hong Kong and Taiwan, including Wang Lingfei, an artist who was born in the mainland but has achieved success in Hong Kong. Gu Lian drew five unspaced horizontal lines in the blank triangle, and the small triangle at the top had very little space.

"The front is a little macroscopic, here I will combine the actual situation of Chenxing and then take the micro and medium, with this group of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists who are involved in the mainland as the group observation object, according to their development achievements are roughly divided into six levels, this level is distributed according to the pyramid structure. Among the top characters," Gu Lian picked out the graphic introductions of Zhang Wang Lingfei and Cheng Long from a pile of color printed pictures around him and pasted them with magnetic particles, "It can be said that there are only these few who are recognized, and they are roughly the five Hong Kong artists who have won the title of national first-class actor and enjoy ****** allowance, both inside and outside the system, they are all respected artists."

Gu Lian put the two pieces of graphic printing paper in the right place, "Wang Lingfei can be called the first in the pop music industry among female singers in the world in the global Chinese circle, Cheng Longjie has spelled out his own world in Hollywood, and established the brand of Cheng's comedy kung fu movies, and several kung fu comedy blockbusters produced and starred by him are also amazing at the box office in the United States. In a sense, they have established a solid reputation and foundation in both Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland, and can help them achieve greater results. ”

Gu Lian flipped through the pile of pictures, picked out these three Hong Kong artists, held them in his hands and shook them at everyone, and did not stick them on the whiteboard, "In addition, the other three Hong Kong artists who are barely side by side with them are slightly inferior to these two in terms of development achievements, but they are proud enough to be proud of other domestic artists." Therefore, I put them at the top of the pyramid of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists who are developing in the mainland. These people were stationed in the mainland as emperors and superstars from the beginning, and they also have this capital. As long as they are not fools, make good use of their popularity and status, and fulfill their basic duties as artists, they can easily gain fame and fortune. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Lian paused, put aside the picture in his hand, looked at Chenxing, and suddenly raised his voice, "But the path they are taking is extreme, and it can only be a case, and it is not suitable to be used as a reference case for most ordinary artists to develop their careers in the mainland." Very few people can come to the mainland with their aura of a top superstar from the beginning, and most ordinary artists can only work hard honestly when they come to the mainland, even if they want to reach the sky in one step, they have to work hard to find opportunities. There will never be a ready-made opportunity to deliver to your door. Therefore, the mainland development model of these superstars at the top of the pyramid is not suitable for Chenxing. ”

Gu Lian drew a long line at the top of the pyramid, and replaced a red oil-based pen with a bright red cross at the end of the long line, which looked a little shocking.

Yu Youjia cooperated with Gu Lian's progress, silently retrieved the corresponding documents on the laptop, and suddenly, the big screen changed again, first an image that also drew a pyramid jumped on the screen, but the painting was more delicate and beautiful than on the whiteboard, and then a bunch of avatars flashed, and then it was fixed on the face of a young and a little ruffian, but if you don't wear makeup, you want to say that the handsome are very handsome.

When Yin Rongyu saw this face, he showed a very disgusted expression.

"So, let's look at the level below the top of the pyramid." Gu Lian casually took down the pictures of Wang Lingfei and Cheng Longjie on the whiteboard before, and fixed a graphic A4 paper to the blank space of the whiteboard, corresponding to the pyramid. "Maxillen, the miracle of the Chinese pop music scene, the rising king of the Asian region. Well, it's not too small now, probably two years later than you debuted," Gu Lian turned to Chenxing, "Actually, he is already very close to the top of the pyramid." He debuted with an album of the same name that topped the regional record sales charts, incorporating the humming style of hip-hop electronic music with a strong personal imprint, creating a diversified music creation. Since the second album, he has cooperated with lyricist Meng Wan, with graceful and gorgeous lyrics and changeable tunes, and has since set off an enduring Chinese style in the Chinese music scene. In the past few years, he has begun to get involved in movies, starring in several idol movies, due to the support of a large number of fans, the box office of the movie is acceptable, but his acting skills have not been widely recognized as his musical talent. So, I'm still just putting him one layer below the top. In this tier of candidates, he is the most likely to reach the top the fastest. ”

Although the albums in recent years have always been said to be the end of Jiang Lang's talent, and there are many so-called musicians who criticize him every year, as long as he releases a record, his sales will definitely be in the forefront, and he is also a frequent visitor to major music awards that cannot be ignored. It's just that with the change of the music environment and the change of communication methods, even the little king of pop music cannot avoid the general decline in record sales. For this reason, after terminating the contract with the previous brokerage company, he set up his own company, signed two new female artists as little sisters, and got involved in movies, so far the attempts in film and television have not met his expectations, but his starting point is already very high, his reputation is so loud, he wants to do things without worrying about no one investing, not to mention that he is a well-known golden sign in Taiwan's entertainment industry, and the local government is also trying its best to support him to develop his career in the mainland. With a record of his record and a few big film projects to consider, even if it's just to maintain the current level of music production and hone his acting skills, it's only natural that he will reach the top of the pyramid in time. ”

"I know that many women in Taiwan's circle like to chase him, because he is more 'dedicated and obedient'. Especially those little-known female singers, and even the anchors of the news station, there are several women who have succeeded by relying on scandals with him, and the recent female anchor of a small local station in Taiwan named Guan Linqi has now become a famous anchor because of her, and it is not as elegant as the temperament, in terms of purity and beauty, it is actually not as good as those female college students who have just graduated from the School of Communication. It was this scandal that Guan Linqi became famous all over the island, and the sales of Maxillen's new collection were also greatly stimulated. Yin Rongyu looked drunk with everyone's contempt, "Ordinary people can't see through such a simple trick, and they hold a small anchor so high, and some nouveau riche also coaxed, and they have fought for several troubles in order to eat with her, and their vision is too shallow." ”

Gu Lian didn't interrupt Yin Rongyu's flower arrangement comments, and took advantage of this time to drink a few sips of water by herself. This guy knows more about the gossip and scandals between the rich and the artist than anyone present, and there are some things that Gu Lian has never heard of. Seeing that this guy is happy to say like a few family treasures, Gu Lian should be more knowledgeable when he listens to it. (To be continued.)
