Chapter 406: The Barrier of Estrangement

At this time last year, "The Voice of China" held by Phoenix TV really crushed TVB.

By the time it was time for the finals, the ratings even exceeded 90% again.

You know, these two years are not the same as a few years ago, in the sixties and seventies, the ratings of wireless often broke ninety, as long as there are good dramas, there is basically no big problem.

The most famous is the staging of "Shang. The Beach", the ratings of ATV at that time were basically the rhythm of crying and fainting in the toilet.

But in the past few years, Hong Kong has launched several cable TV stations one after another, although they are all charged, but they have also thinned a lot of ratings.

Coupled with the rise of the phoenix, Hong Kong TV will no longer reproduce the situation of TVB's dominance, and it is difficult to break 60 in the ratings, and it is unprecedented to break 90.

But "The Voice of China" can be called a tragic rhythm of the game, which still attracts more and more people to watch.

Faye Wong from the mainland, Zhang Huimei from Taiwan, plus Karen Mok from Hong Kong, three women in one play.

The championship is fought for by the three of them.

As for the male singers, they are inferior. Although rookies such as Ekin Cheng, Zhang Weijian and Chen Xiaochun have also appeared, they are still some distance behind Faye Wong's three daughters.

The result naturally made Yan Qingyu very satisfied, and even the game video that was introduced and completed in Guangdong Province in the mainland was played, and it also set a very high rating.

The only regret is that Macau is too small and has too few people to have any outstanding singers.

Otherwise, the mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau will form a complete Greater China Division.

Back at Repulse Bay No. 4, the women of the Yan family went upstairs to wash up first, and there was no convenience at home on the plane.

Yan Qingyu chatted with a few friends who hadn't seen her for a long time, and the topic was still the film "Smelling Fragrance and Knowing Women".

"Xiao Yu, this film is amazing. Hong Kong filmmakers are about to praise it. Say your movies have thoughts. It has connotation and can reflect human nature. I also want us local filmmakers to reflect and learn from each other, and see what kind of and pee and fart we are filming! I'm really picking on his mother, is the thing we shoot so bad? Without us actors and dramas, those filmmakers can make a living by commenting on movies like a big man? ”

Stephen Chow complained with a rare face.

Andy Lau was also depressed: "Even some high-intellectual audiences have begun to be picky, feeling that our movies are really unnutritious." Xiao Yu, I just can't figure it out. Aren't movies entertainment? Entertainment is just to make everyone happy, simpler, better looking. Isn't it ok? I don't believe that American movies are all films like "Woman's Fragrance". The "Star Wars" series and the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, I don't see how much nutrition is there. ”

Yan Qingyu thought for a while and said, "How is the box office of your film?" ”

Chow Yun-fat said: "Don't pay attention to them, they are just Woose." Although there are criticisms, the box office of the main body is still rising steadily. Especially Xingzai, look at him, a few years ago he was just a little deflated. Now, you can be on an equal footing with me. Double Monday, hehe. What a name.

And Andy, if Xiao Yu hadn't gone to talk to Uncle Sixth a few years ago, you would still be hiding in the snow. So, don't pay attention to the complaints of these women. They just want you to take them to Hollywood for a while. It's better to get another Oscar nomination or something.

Xiao Yu, like me, I'm not so greedy. Tell me about them, do you want to do so much so early? Just learned to walk and want to run after just a few steps? At least it has to be like me. Wait a few more years to make this request. Do you say, Xiao Yu? ”

"Pick!"

Stephen Chow and Andy Lau gave him a middle finger together.

Yan Qingyu laughed and said, "There is a chance, there is a chance." But maybe not in the next two years. You have to help me defend this base camp in Asia first. Hollywood movies are looking to break through in Asia, so you have to be careful, don't be careless. ”

Chow Yun-fat frowned and said, "But isn't this way of doing it helping them rush into our territory?" ”

Stephen Chow also said: "Yes, if it weren't for you, a film like "Women's Fragrance" might not even be able to enter. Even if it comes in, the theater schedule can only be scheduled until late at night, and no one watches it. ”

Yan Qingyu said: "This approach can really stop Hollywood movies for a while, and may it stop it for a lifetime?" Fa Ge, Xing Tsai and Andy, you have to remember that you will never be able to win if you keep it. Only by attacking, taking the initiative to attack, can we be invincible. ”

Chow Yun-fat squeezed his face, shook his head and said: "It's too difficult, the idea of the story, the technique and technique of shooting the story, are more than one level different." Hollywood movies have been in development for almost a hundred years, how many years have we had? It's only been more than 30 years. ”

Yan Qingyu said: "It's not a problem, the way of thinking in the East is still different from that in the West. The West attaches great importance to human nature and human rights, and rarely interprets the story of sacrificing itself to fulfill everyone. But the East pays more attention to the spirit of chivalry, and the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people. As long as you revolve around the heart of chivalry, you can compete with the West.

As for techniques and techniques, it's nothing. Even if Hollywood experts come first, we can also put down our bodies, learn with an open mind, and learn for our own use. Only in this way can we not rest on our laurels.

Hollywood movies have been around for a hundred years, and that's nothing. The United States has only a history of more than 200 years, so what historical background can they have? But we are different, our 5,000-year-old history of China, how many beautiful stories are waiting for us to discover? We are sitting on Baoshan and don't know it.

Without further ado, think about how many myths we have? There are so many strange mythological characters and mythical beasts in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", none of which are worse than Western anime heroes. It's just that we have to dig in. ”

Andy Lau smiled: "Xiao Yu, why was you so pessimistic, but when you said this, I was a little enthusiastic?" ”

Yan Qingyu laughed and said, "Because what I said makes sense, what do you think I spent tens of millions of dollars to buy Pixar Studio?" Now I have also acquired ILM from Lucas, who filmed "Star Wars", and although I don't have a controlling stake, I can already stuff people into it for training. I'm cultivating technical talent for ourselves, and the biggest thing we get worse than Hollywood is technology.

On literary films, can Hollywood compare with Cannes? Can it be compared to Berlin? But Hollywood has already contributed to the European position, why? It's Hollywood's ever-changing special effects technology. Of course, white Americans come from Europe, and they have the same roots is also a reason, and the basic ideology and culture are the same. But that's not the point, because European cinema has never been able to make it to the United States. ”

Chow Yun-fat said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for us, and the obstacle of cultural barrier is harder than imagined. The Americans' set of Orientals may accept that everyone likes superheroes who save humanity and save the world. But this set of our Chinese is basically difficult for Americans to accept. For example, if you fight to the death and do not retreat, you will not surrender to the death. In the eyes of the Americans, if you lose the war and lose the war, then surrender, only by living can you turn the tables around, people-oriented. However, in Chinese thought, surrender is the greatest shame, and what we in China pay attention to is that it is better to be broken than to be whole. ”

"Also, I asked Judy, what do you think of our Chinese light work? She said it was ridiculous and completely unscientific. If a man is not a bird, how can he fly? I asked her if she didn't know Bruce Lee? She said that Bruce Lee's kung fu was normal, the same as boxing, but he couldn't fly. I'm very depressed, and our martial arts films are probably not popular with Americans. ”

Leslie Cheung also said a little depressed on the side.

"The imagination of these grandchildren is too lacking, right? If you don't have a bird, you can't fly? Don't they know what internal power is? Hahaha, hey, the Nine Yin True Scripture, don't you understand? ”

Stephen Chow gestured with disdain.

Andy Lau pushed him and said, "How do you speak?" Don't you know that Rong Shao is now the son-in-law of the Americans? Americans are all grandsons, so isn't Rong Shao your grandson-in-law? ”

"you, you're the grandson-in-law!"

Leslie Cheung scolded with a smile and punched Andy Lau.

After laughing, Leslie Cheung glanced at Yan Qingyu who was contemplative, and said, "Xiao Yu, if you want to use martial arts films to break into the United States, you basically don't have to think about it. American movies pay the most attention to rationality, and even the most popular fantasy novel "The Lord of the Rings", in which the characters have to stumble up the mountain, step by step to the top of the mountain.

But in our novel, the ten-zhang high cliff can only go up with your legs raised. Also, the story of our history is too complicated for foreigners. They simply can't understand our allusions. Judy and I discussed some of the most popular American movies and found that most of them were very simple.

However, how to shoot a simple fable into a movie that moves the audience requires the director's skill. Famous Hollywood directors all get a high share of the box office, and here's why. ”

Yan Qingyu looked at Leslie Cheung with a smile and said, "From Rong Shao, if you are not married, you should be able to see how helpful it is to find a suitable girlfriend." Before he and Judy were in a relationship, he had to live a hip-hop life all day, and I even talked about him a few times. Looking at the present, the height of vision and thinking has reached a strategic level. I think it's all the work of a wife. Andy, and Xingzai, you have to learn a little. ”

Stephen Chow smiled: "I can't do it, I don't have that life!" But Andy is different, his wife is the daughter of the richest man in Malaysia, and she may not be as bad as that Judy! ”

Where is Andy Lau willing to suffer, and broke the news: "Xiao Yu, Xingzi and the female star of your Phoenix TV training class are getting better." Be careful, don't let him poach you! (To be continued......)
