"Open a branch?"
Cheng Long was surprised and worried at the same time.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Lu Xuan knows that Hong Kong Entertainment has always been xenophobic.
Huayi Brothers' branch in Hong Kong Island is struggling to develop.
It is like chicken ribs, tasteless when eaten, and it is a pity for me.
But Cheng Long regards him as his own brother and will never reject him from entering Xiangjiang.
"Brother Lu, the competition in Hong Kong entertainment is too great, and the golden age has long passed. The Hong Kong entertainment market can be said to be a red ocean, and there is no room for development."
Cheng Long was worried that Lu Xuan's efforts would be in vain.
"Oh? Brother, can you tell me more?"
Lu Xuan would like to know more about the current situation of Hong Kong entertainment.
"Okay, then let me briefly talk about the development history of Hong Kong Entertainment."
Cheng Long put down his wine glass.
"In 1967, Mr. Shao Yifu and three other people jointly founded TBV, pioneering the development of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong. The ones that followed were in their infancy, let alone the 890s."
"In 1971, in order to attract performing arts talents, TBV established a gold-lettered signboard that will be called the "star-making factory" in the future: wireless training courses."
"In the 1970s, Hong Kong's economy developed rapidly, and Amusement Asia rose rapidly.
"The representative figure of this period is Li Xiaolong."
"He founded Jeet Kune Do, promoted Dragon Kingdom Kung Fu, and is the pioneer of Kung Fu movies."
"Fist of Fury", "Way of the Dragon", "Dragon and Tiger" and other movies have continuously broken Asian box office records and shocked the world. He is the earliest Hollywood superstar in the Dragon Kingdom.
"When Li Xiaolong became popular, I just started to enter the show business circle."
"I was in charge of stunt work in "Fist of Fury" starring him, and I was Li Xiaolong's stand-in in "Way of the Dragon".
"It's a pity that God is jealous of Yingcai, so he died young."
"Later, in "New Fist of Fury", I acted as the leading actor, because I was deeply influenced by Li Xiaolong, so I imitated his martial arts movements in the film."
"Until the late 1970s, I starred in the kung fu films "Snake Man" and "Drunken Master," which changed the tough guy image of traditional kung fu films and incorporated comedy elements. This established my style of humorous kung fu films."
"In the 1980s, Xiangjiang's economy took off, and it became the most developed international metropolis in Asia, and it is also one of the famous four Asian tigers."
"The entertainment industry is ushering in a golden age of fairy fights."
"Whether it's Hong Kong drama, Hong Kong movie, or Hong Kong music, it's all the rage in Asia."
"The representative works of TV series include the 80 version of "Shanghai Bund" starring Zhou Runfa, Zhao Yazhi, and Lu Liangwei."
"The 83 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Huang Sihua and Weng Meiling.
""The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Andy Lau, "The Deer and the Cauldron" starring Liang Chaowei, etc."
"In the same year, Ren, Huang Baihua, Liang Chaowei, Miao Qiaowei, and Tang Zhenye formed the Five Wireless Tigers."
"Representative film works include "Shaolin Temple" starring Jet Li, "A Better Tomorrow" starring Zhou Yunfa, "Plan A" and "Police Story" starring my senior brother and Yuen Biao.
"In terms of music, we are entering an explosive period, and the stars in the Hong Kong music scene are shining brightly."
"Huang Jiaju, Deng Lijun, Lin Zihuan, Principal Tan, Zhang Guorong, Fei Xiang, Lin Yilian, Cai Qin, etc. are all grown up."
"The four palace-level superstars are known as the 'Three Kings and One Queen'. The three kings refer to: Tan Yonglin, Zhang Guorong, Chen Bairong, and the one queen refers to: Mei Yanfang."
"In the 1980s, the Japanese king and queen basically monopolized the music awards of all sizes in the Hong Kong music scene."
"The streets and alleys are full of tape stores, which are extremely prosperous and have become a mark of the times.
"In the 1990s, the Xiangjiang entertainment industry entered a glorious period."
"If the 1980s were a fight between gods, then the 1990s were the war of the century."
"The representative works of Hong Kong dramas include "The Legend of White Snake" and "Bao Qingtian" starring Zhao Yazhi.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Gu Tianle and Li Ruotong, the 1997 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" [Chen Xiaochun's version of "The Deer and the Cauldron"
"Zombie Taoist", "I Have a Date with a Zombie", "Big Era", "Joking about Qianlong" and so on.
"There are more movie masterpieces."
"Zhou Xingchi's comedy action films "The Gambler", "Fighting Back to School", "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier", "Tang Bo Hu Spots Autumn Fragrance", etc., have continuously broken box office records."
"In 1995, he established his position in the Chinese film industry with "Journey to the West"."
"My "Eagle Project", "Police Story 3", "Double Dragon Club", "Crime Unit", etc. have all achieved excellent results."
"In 1995, I entered Hollywood and starred in "The Red Zone", "Rush Hour", "Who Am I", etc., and gradually became an international superstar."
“There are countless classic movies, such as Farewell My Concubine, Across the World, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, etc. I won’t list them all.
"A large number of actors became popular in that era. In addition to the well-known superstars, there were also female stars Lin Qingxia, Guan Zhilin, Zhang Min, Wang Zuxian, Zhang Bozhi, etc.."
"At the same time, the Hong Kong music scene is ushering in its heyday."
"The Four Heavenly Kings: Hua Tsai, Zhang Xueyou, Li Ming, and Guo Fucheng."
"As well as Huang Jiaju, Chen Yixun, Xie Tingfeng, Li Keqin, etc."
"Female singers include the princess who debuted in Hong Kong, Yang Qianhua, Mo Wenwei, Li Wen, Liang Yongqi, etc."
"At the turn of the millennium, with the economic development of the mainland, the development of domestic entertainment began to gain momentum, while Hong Kong entertainment gradually declined.
"The representative works of Hong Kong dramas from this period include "The Golden Branch", "The Heroine", "The Story of Qin", "Forensic Pioneer", etc."
"The representative works of Hong Kong films include "Infernal Affairs", "Kung Fu", "Shaolin Football", "Slaying the Wolf", "The Fuse", "Ip Man", etc."
"There are many classic works, but the overall trend is towards decline."
"Especially in the past ten years, Hong Kong entertainment has been in decline and its talents have withered."
"Those who appear in the public eye are still the older generation, and there are almost no young actors and singers."
“Nowadays, most of the Hong Kong film market is occupied by Hollywood, and the top ones at the box office are basically Hollywood blockbusters.
"TBV has also fallen behind. It can't produce good works and there are no young artists.
"Not to mention the music scene, the entire Chinese music scene has been stagnant in the past ten years."
"Since last summer, the Chinese music scene has gradually recovered."
"Especially this year, there are some signs of reappearing the fight between gods and gods."
"I know Road, you have the greatest contribution here. Everyone calls you the savior of the Chinese music scene."
"The development history of Hong Kong Entertainment is probably like this. I'm just giving a brief summary. There must be omissions and inaccuracies. You can generally understand it.
"In short, the current situation of Hong Kong Entertainment is not optimistic. It is really a red sea. It can't be redder. There is no room for development at all. If you come here, you will die."
"Brother Lu, I'm not trying to dampen your enthusiasm and confidence, but I'm afraid that you'll be in vain."
Cheng Long talked for a long time and his mouth was dry.
He picked up the tea cup and drank it down.
I have some understanding of the development history of Hong Kong entertainment.
But after listening to Cheng Long’s story.
Lu Xuan has a clearer understanding of Hong Kong entertainment.
Hong Kong entertainment is indeed in decline, but it is not without opportunities.
Lu Xuan had already thought about the development direction before coming. .
