As soon as Li Xiaole said this, both TVB employees and media reporters at the scene looked at each other with expressions on their faces, and they couldn't cry or laugh.

Like "Infernal Affairs", it brings together the best actors in Hong Kong...... And the best singers, and even invite top Hollywood stars as the dubbing of the English version of the show, using 3D means to show the martial arts effects that foreigners can't do......?

Oh, my God...... Isn't this pure nonsense...... Who has the ability? "Infernal Affairs" is just a movie, to put it bluntly, there are only two top actors, Liang Chaowei, Liu Dehua, Huang Qiusheng, Zeng Zhiwei, these are just powerful movie stars, not top, even if they are cameo supporting roles, they are only a dozen scenes......

If you make a TV series, no matter how small the role is, I am afraid that there will be much more scenes than "Infernal Affairs", are first-line actors willing to play small roles in TV series? This is not only a loss of time and money, even if someone can afford it, it depends on whether the first-line stars are willing or not.

You must know that the most important thing for Hong Kong people is face, and the fact that celebrities give people supporting roles can only be that the other party is indeed much better than you, such as the movie of the eldest brother Cheng Long in the circle, or Huang Baiming's family happy event series, so that people are willing to be green leaves.

Okay, let's not talk about this for now, even if you are a big brother like Huang Baiming in the circle, and you can find those Hong Kong first-line actors to play tricks for you, then what if you find a Hollywood star who is willing to dub you?

Hollywood has no face problems, everything is clearly priced, but now in this market, the dubbing fees of Hollywood stars also start at millions of dollars, so the production cost of an episode may exceed 10 million US dollars......

And this is still the best situation to estimate, if this kind of drama that gathers all Hong Kong network resources fails to be viewed in Asia, it is not just the investor's money that will be lost, that is, the self-esteem of Hong Kong film and television people, pride, and even the last fig leaf will be torn off, if it really comes to that situation, I am afraid that the once glorious Oriental Hollywood will really be at the end of the road...... The majestic spirit in the hearts of Hong Kong film and television people, who has been high-spirited for 30 years, may be completely wiped out......

Li Xiaole's words not only made TVB employees and media reporters think he was arrogant, but also felt that he was very ignorant, his words were like a student who had just graduated from a certain film and television school, and said a delusional statement that he didn't know the height of the sky~

"Wow, Director Li really has a very dream, Director Wu Yusheng, what do you think? Do you think Director Lee's dream is likely to come true? The host Zheng Yuling immediately turned the topic to Wu Yusen.

"Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with Director Li's words, and the direction is also good, I heard that Director Li is going to shoot a martial arts drama, this is indeed a very good direction." Hearing the host's roll call, Wu Yusen, who was sitting on the right side of the stage, raised the microphone and smiled seriously:

"But now the times are different, the set of things in our previous martial arts dramas is outdated, and today's young people in the world like Hollywood culture, and now when I look at it, I am afraid that the previous dramas will be too old-fashioned, such as "Huo Yuanjia" and other ......"

Li Xiaole responded with a smile but did not immediately refute, Hong Jingbao, who had his hands on his chest, looked sideways at Wu Yusheng; And the TVB employees in the seats nodded silently, the current market will no longer like those old themes in Hong Kong, whether it is martial arts, kung fu, or gambling movies, they are all products of the old era......

Now it's Hollywood sci-fi, superheroes, vampires. The era when disaster movies were in power...... The times no longer belong to Hong Kong.

"If young people don't like to watch your movie genre anymore, then no matter what you do, it doesn't matter." Wu Yusen made a shrug gesture and said:

"We can't just stick to our traditions and enjoy ourselves. The times won't wait for you, you haven't woken up yet, you're still high and low, the times have passed, you have passed, and now the only thing we can do is to keep pace with Hollywood and innovate some new story series, which is the most important thing, not digging for treasure in the grave. ”

Seeing that the TVB employees and reporters present nodded frequently, Wu Yusen paused as he spoke, he returned to China this time and took out "Red Cliff", which operates in an all-Hollywood way, although the reputation is not very good, but the box office is a big hit, which made him understand some new market rules, and said eloquently:

"We screenwriters, many values of our stories are very inconsistent with the views of Westerners, for example, heroes like Guan Yu, many Westerners don't understand, they all think that soldiers should surrender when they run out of ammunition and food, and they should not disobey the orders of their superiors for their own personal feelings, so we must arrange the characters in our ancient stories to conform to the logic of the Americans, so that they can be recognized by European and American audiences.

In fact, not only China, Hollywood is the 'enemy' of the film and television industry in the whole world, and now all the old European film countries are occupied by Hollywood films to occupy most of the market share, and they are now retreating step by step, discussing how to make national films and local films develop healthily. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Yusen accentuated his tone, as if he was saying to Li Xiaole: "If you want to defeat Hollywood, we must learn from Hollywood, change ourselves to imitate him, and then defeat him." ”

Yes, Wu Yusen has indeed changed a lot after hitting a wall in Hollywood, his films have begun to become less and less Hong Kong, more and more international, and the dialogues of the characters in his new film "Red Cliff" are completely abbreviated lines for the English translation, in order to make Americans understand the translation, he even asked Cao Cao to say: "Haven't you heard that desire makes people young." "What else can a failed person do with a frustrated person?" Such a modern line.

When these lines were screened in Chinese theaters, when these lines made people laugh, they all thought that Wu Yusen would go crazy after returning from Hollywood, but in fact, on the contrary, Wu Yusen was not crazy, he was from the perspective of Hollywood to deal with the movie "Red Cliff", and he wanted to please the audience in other parts of the world.

Can you say he's wrong? When "Red Sorghum" and "Farewell My Concubine" Yang Wei were at major overseas film festivals, they failed at the overseas box office, but the success of "Hero" just proves that a simple plot is the key to truly allowing Europeans and Americans to understand oriental works.

Looking at the audience, those young TVB juniors, Wu Yusen said in a serious voice: "We should now abandon our original old, old-fashioned film and television models and create new themes, I think the hope of the Hong Kong film and television industry lies in young people like you, in the next 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, we will one day return to the golden age of the past." ”

Bang Bang Bang! There was a lot of applause in the multi-purpose hall, and then it became deafening, and the directors and screenwriters of TVB applauded hard, which is called level! Realistic! Recently, TVB has begun to comprehensively study American dramas and began to actively expand new themes.

Li Xiaole listened to these similar provocative applause, but felt very interesting in his heart, although Hong Kong film and television are weak, but the arrogance of these people is still there, at least he, a mainland director, came here, and they didn't give any face.

I think that more than 20 years ago, when Hong Kong and the mainland cooperated in a movie for the first time, Liu Xiaoqing, the first movie star in the mainland at that time, could only sleep on the floor of the hotel when he cooperated with the Hong Kong crew, and the money taken by Hong Kong's third-tier actors was 20 times that of Liu Xiaoqing at that time......

He is now parachuted into Hong Kong with the double halo of Oscar Best Director and Director of the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games, but he still can't avoid receiving such treatment, Hong Kong people are really interesting.

But this is interesting, it is precisely with this arrogant and unyielding Hong Kong spirit that Hong Kong people can always forge ahead, create so many miracles in the past, and create their own culture.

However, Li Xiaole still felt unhappy in his heart for these people, these new Hong Kong filmmakers don't know what kind of inheritance they have inherited, Li Xiaole was just about to pick up the microphone to speak, but saw Hong Jingbao already standing up with an angry face, picked up the microphone and shouted:

"What are you applauding? What do you know, do you think what Wu Yusen said is right? He is a person who has made so many Hong Kong films, and it is understandable that he is tired of filming and looking for new themes, what Hong Kong films have you made to learn from Hollywood!? It's better to shoot your own Hong Kong films. ”

Chen Long is called "Big Brother" in Hong Kong circles, and "Hong Jingbao" is called "Big Brother", and these titles are not nicknames, but given by insiders.

The so-called "big brother" is not only to instruct and reprimand the younger brother, but also to pull out the newcomers in the circle, and come forward to coordinate the difficulties encountered by the gang crew, when the gangs controlled the Hong Kong film industry, only Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao dared to pull the martial arts team to fight against the gangsters, they are the real traditional representatives of Hong Kong, Wu Yusen said that it is okay to learn Hollywood, but this group of juniors roaring here makes Hong Jingbao very unhappy.

Regarding Hollywood's "global invasion" situation, although he also went to the United States to develop, he was very helpless in his heart and did not want to see such a pattern of the world's film and television industry.

Such a pattern is very unhealthy, each country has its own local cultural temperament, and movies will bloom. For example, Hong Kong movies, which have a very different flavor from Hollywood, gangster films, nonsense, etc., are its flashes, but now they are also declining.

In addition to a filmmaker who hopes to see a healthy hundred flowers blooming, as a Chinese, Hong Jingbao, a traditional martial artist, naturally hopes that Chinese films can use their own advantages and their own culture to carry forward Hong Kong films.

It's good to learn Hollywood, but everyone learns Hollywood to inherit the traditional genres of Hong Kong films.
