Chapter 1861 1863【Gold Plating】
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, everyone looked a little uncomfortable.
?People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Everyone hopes that they can rise to the top and go to Hollywood to develop.
But hearing what Xiang Nan said, half of everyone''s hopes were wiped out at once, how could they accept it.
Xiang Nan was bright-eyed, and when he saw everyone''s expressions, he knew that everyone was unhappy.
But what he said is indeed true.
?There is really no place for Hong Kong artists in Hollywood. For so many years, the only one who can be considered a front-line actor in Hollywood is Jackie Chan. Li Lianjie and Yang Ziqiong are only second-tier actors and rarely star in first-tier major productions.
As for actors like Li Meiqi, Wen Minggna, Qiu Yunbo, Wang Keying, etc., I am afraid they are not even considered third-tier actors and can only play supporting roles or American dramas.
Because xenophobia exists in every region, not just Hollywood. Moreover, Chinese-American filmmakers, apart from kung fu stars, do not have any outstanding advantages.
?Hence Xiang Nan doesn’t want them to be too ambitious and dream of going to Hollywood. In that case, it is possible to go to Hollywood without staying, and end up losing the Hong Kong market.
??Just like the wondergirls back then, they were eager to develop overseas as soon as they became popular in South Korea. As a result, the overseas market failed to win, and the South Korean market was replaced by Girls'' Generation.
It is not a good thing for them that both ends are not docked.
…
"However, if you want to get gold-plated in Hollywood and get the title of international movie star or international director, I am still willing to help." Xiang Nan added, "I just hope that everyone can understand the situation and don''t forget that their fundamentals are where."
Hearing what he said, the smart filmmakers all nodded.
As Xiang Nan said, if they go to Hollywood, they may not have a good development. After all, most Xiangjiang movies imitate European and American movies and are their students.
Now it is really not easy to develop in other countries and steal the jobs of teachers. Except for a few gifted students who are really capable, it is impossible for most others.
After all, they know how powerful Hollywood directors are.
They may not be able to make films like the "Star Wars" series, "The Godfather" series, "Alien" series, "Jaws" and "ET" in their lifetime. Can they compete with others?
??It''s better to be more realistic and go to Hollywood to get gold-plated. If you change to an international movie star, the title of international director will increase the salary by a large amount.
?For example, Ye Tong and Ye Qianwen participated in Jackie Chan''s "Red Zone". Although the main focus of the movie is Jackie Chan, Ye Tong and Ye Qianwen both went to Hollywood and became international movie stars. Now their salary has doubled than before.
This is the most practical.
…
After the party, Xiang Nan kept Chen Yalun behind.
?? Chen Yalun made her debut in the Rookie Singing Contest in 1985, but unfortunately she did not become popular. However, her beautiful face still attracted the attention of people in the industry, and she began to appear in film and television dramas in 1986.
?Last year, she was signed by Wang Jing to Zhen Kung Fu Pictures and participated in "The Courtship Suicide Squad" directed by him.
?In this movie, Chen Yalun made a bold appearance as a perverted little wild cat, who was both coquettish and sultry, and became an instant hit.
Xiang Nan has also watched her starring roles in "Zombie Doctor", "Monster City", "Dangerous Love", "Top Ten Evil Arts", etc., all of which are wonderful memories of her youth.
Therefore, when he saw Chen Yalun ogling him, he tacitly kept her here.
?His own home, his own house, he is not afraid of her having trouble.
After a night of in-depth communication, Xiang Nan gave Chen Yalun face-to-face instructions.
“If you want to be popular, shoot R-rated movies.” He said. "What?!" Chen Yalun was a little surprised, "Why?"
She originally thought that it was a sure thing that she would embrace Xiang Nan''s thick **** and call her Red Star, but she didn''t expect that Xiang Nan would actually suggest this to her.
“Do you need to explain this? You can only become famous if you shoot it, and the sooner you shoot it, the better.” Xiang Nan curled his lips and said.
In 1988, Xiangjiang Film introduced a rating system, setting off a craze for large-scale films here. Within a year, more than 300 similar films were released in Hong Kong, accounting for about half of the total annual box office.
Because the world is so good, Xiangjiang film companies have invested in filming, and a large number of dedicated actresses have emerged. And the sooner you sacrifice yourself, the faster you will become famous.
?For example, Ye Yuqing, Ye Zimei, Qiu Shuzhen, Li Lizhen, etc. all belong to this category. On the contrary, after those female stars become popular, it will be difficult for other female stars to become popular again even if they are willing to sacrifice.
"Alan, listen to me. In terms of appearance, you are not as good as Wang Zixian, Lin Qingxia, Guan Zhilin, and Zhong Chuhong; in terms of acting skills, you are not as good as Ye Tong, Zheng Yuling, Maggie Cheung, and Sylvia Chang; in terms of skill, you are not as good as Yang Ziqiong and Li Keqiang. Sai Min, Hu Huizhong, Hui Yinghong…
With these actresses around, it’s not that easy to get ahead. You have to be brave and take the road that others have not taken, so that you can take a shortcut to the top.
Just wait until you become a red star and then slowly clear your name. Just like Brooke Shields, she started taking pictures when she was ten years old, and she started filming "Beautiful Girl" when she was thirteen years old. She is not a Hollywood socialite now, who dares to say that she is not? Xiang Nan explained, "You are a smart person, I think you should understand this." "
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Chen Yalun thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
?Hong Kong entertainment industry is inherently competitive. Not only male stars have to risk their lives to fight, but also female stars are no exception. If she doesn''t sacrifice something, it will be really difficult for her to get to the top.
“I understand.” Chen Yalun nodded.
"Okay, smart." Xiang Nan smiled, "I will help you arrange it."
…
Xiang Nan then greeted Wang Jing.
After Wang Jing heard this, she blinked her eyes and said, "Is she really brave enough?"
"If the boogers are delicious, the nostrils will be dug out." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "As long as the benefits are big enough, I am not afraid that no one will do it. There were so many actresses in Shaw Brothers back then."
Wang Jing nodded after hearing this.
Shaw Brothers''s Yu Sally, Yan Yin Yin, Bai Xiaoman, etc. were all very popular at one time.
"You can arrange this. The number one actress in Hong Kong will definitely attract attention." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "If the plot is designed better, the box office will definitely be fine."
Wang Jing nodded.
Confucius said: Food and color are also the nature of food! Making a fuss about this aspect is to cater to human nature, and the box office will definitely be fine.
“Hey, by the way, how is your relationship with Qiu Shuzhen?” Xiang Nan asked again.
“What do you mean?” Wang Jing was stunned for a moment, then asked.
“I want to pick up her. But if she’s your girlfriend, forget it.” Xiang Nan explained.
He remembered that Wang Jing and Qiu Shuzhen seemed to have had a relationship. Because Wang Jing was too good to Qiu Shuzhen, she even got the nickname "Infatuated Heart Sword".
If this is the case, then he will not take action. After all, Wang Jing is his right-hand man, which is quite important. It''s not worth losing a talent for a woman.
