Since the new century, a large number of film and television elites from Hong Kong and Hong Kong have gone northward, creating good results. Even some second- and third-rate film and television teams were considered a dimensionality reduction attack in the mainland at that time.
Of course, the mainland also has top-notch talents, not inferior to those in Hong Kong, but the backbone is very weak - it has not established a market mechanism, so it cannot support so many people.
As for this group of people in Hong Kong, the supply exceeds demand, and there are so many people.
For example, the current hot topics of "childhood costume martial arts dramas": "The Best in the World", "Little Fish and Flowers", "The Strange Man Yizhimei"... are all operated by Hong Kong and Mainland teams, even Fang Yi
The previous film "The Immortal" was also shot mainly by a Hong Kong and local team:
Director Li Guoli is a Hong Kong director through and through. The production company Sugarman Film and Television was one of the first film and television companies with Hong Kong capital to enter the mainland. All its teams, including directors, styling, and soundtracks, are from Hong Kong, and the senior management are also from Hong Kong.
Circled.
What now?
It fell down.
Just as Fang Yi has far surpassed Li Guoli, who is proud to have directed Fang Yi, great changes have also taken place between mainland film and television and Hong Kong film and television. As a filmmaker, Director Fang is the epitome of this era of great changes.
The Hong Kong circle itself is aware of this, and "Twelve Zodiac Signs" is a milestone: the mainland in turn uses its team and its people, Hong Kong's family classes learn from it, and finally makes the so-called new "Hong Kong movie", where the big brother comes
Give it a try.
Therefore, the 32nd Hong Kong Film Awards is also a benchmark. Its final award is not just as simple as "Zodiac", it reflects the Hong Kong community's acceptance of this "new normal".
Should you accept reality or continue to be conservative?
"Ming Pao" founded by Jin Yong is famous for its high-quality news reports, comments and analysis. On February 5, after the nomination list of this year's Academy Awards was released, "Ming Pao" noticed this problem: and the "Twelve Zodiac Signs" on the list
"Compared with other movies, it is simply not on the same level.
When it comes to young filmmakers, whether it is director Du Wenze or actors such as Xie Biwang and Yu Wenle, there is really no one who can compare with Fang Yi.
You have spent half your life focusing on your career, but the result is not as good as other people's casual pursuits?
And it’s not just Fang Yi. In fact, there are only two other directors from the Republican era: Guo Fan and Lu Yang. They are great young filmmakers from Hong Kong. Who can say that I am better than them?
Is it a salty and wet movie that earns millions at the box office?
"Chilling", which is the only original and slightly competitive film, is certainly good. Hong Kong people gave this film a high honor and gave it a record-breaking dozen nominations, more than "Zodiac". However,
Ten or twenty years ago, would it really be that good?
The plot of "Cold War" is the same as its name. It is a film about two factions competing for power, with many forces behind it, and the situation is complicated.
"Ming Pao" cleverly combined the name of the movie "Chill" and published an editorial:
"With Hong Kong's continuous support for mainland films, the mainland film industry has taken off vigorously and has become fully fledged. It is unmatched by Hong Kong in terms of production investment and the number of cinema screens. Coupled with the sharp decline in the value of co-production films, the film industry between the two places has become more mature.
The situation at this moment also seems particularly delicate. If you use 'chill' to describe this year's Academy Awards, it is extremely appropriate."
"The awards ceremony scheduled to be held at the Grand Theater of the Cultural Center will bring together outstanding filmmakers from the past, present and future from across the Taiwan Strait and the three places. The stars are bright and the momentum is grand, but there is always the biggest winner in the night, and there is always a central figure. I dare to ask: Who is it?
?”
This is not a question, but a way to arouse the reader's emotions, and actually give the answer right away.
The editorial included a photo of Fang Yi smashing an ice sculpture at a celebration banquet after receiving a box office of 1.8 billion: Everyone subconsciously took a step back, not daring to stand side by side with him, and gave all the honors to him, even the eldest brother himself.
.
Okay, I won’t answer any more. As soon as the reader saw this photo, his heart skipped a beat: Oh, it’s Fang Yi.
Think again: Isn’t Fang Yi worthy?
Readers will compare and measure what achievements he has made in the past few years until they come to a conclusion.
"Perhaps the organizing committee is looking for 'where should Hong Kong and Mainland films go in the future' during the awards ceremony, and is prepared for danger in times of peace. 'Hong Kong and Mainland films are prosperous on the surface but actually weak.' How to deal with the 'chill' is probably the key to this year's Academy Awards.
theme."
——Not every newspaper can start editorial like "Ming Pao". Most local tabloids will not write anything too in-depth. When Hong Kong citizens wake up in the morning and turn to the headlines, it is most likely the same text message:
"Fang Yi, the great leader from the Mainland, will be built with a golden body? The first person to speak Chinese!"
He would also put it another way: "The filmmaker most likely to win three gold medals."
""Zodiac" is not only about winning at the box office!"
Of course, there are also boring ones. The toilet paper "Weekly Weekly" dug out a manuscript from two years ago and claimed, "The last time Hugo came to Hong Kong, he had a tryst with the young model Yang Ying on a yacht under the name of Yang Shoucheng. The bikini is so sexy, and his real boyfriend Wei Zai
I have to wait and see downstairs..."
Yang Shoucheng, who is in his sixties, calls Fang Yi a brother and treats him as a peer. By analogy, Fang Yi is also the number two godfather to Yang Shoucheng's many godsons and daughters.
When "Twelve Zodiac Signs" first started filming, there was a promotion in Baodao, and Yinghuang's movie stars were present. A reporter deliberately angered King Xie and asked him, "Since he is Yang Shoucheng's godson, what do you think of your new godfather Fang Yi?"
?”
Xie Biwang became so angry at that time that he turned around and left.
This time, "Weekly" published a title to increase Fang Yi's traffic: Goddaughter helps her godfather take care of her little brother.
…
Okay, let's stop.
After the shortlist was announced, a group of media invited Fang Yi to do interviews. The crew visited the show every day. As long as Fang Yi showed up, there would definitely be reporters who wanted him to express his opinions. The audience really loved watching it.
Previous talk shows also sent letters to Fang Yi again: "Interviews" hosted by Yang Lan, "Stories Behind" hosted by Lu Yu, and "Kefan Listen" hosted by the Magic City... Fang Yi chose "
Sonorous Threesome".
This program is recorded in Hong Kong, which can save Fang Yi time and make it convenient. In addition, it is also a small agreement made by Fang Yi and the program team.
"Love Letter" was released in Hong Kong the year before last, and Fang Yi came to Hong Kong to promote it. He had a pleasant chat with the trio on the show and established a certain personal relationship.
At that time, we agreed that if we had another chance, we would definitely come to the program team to support him. At the end of that episode, Dou Wentao said, "Our program team can't afford to hire him next time." In fact, he was saying that the next time Fang Yi comes, he can only hope
He doesn't care about affection.
Fang Yi only cares about love.
Some people think that Dou Wentao behaves like a complete idiot in the show, with too much personality, knowing nothing, and just keeps echoing. In fact, in life, you should beware of people who try to trick you and give you a pedestal.
Fang Yi is not the biggest guest in the history of "Threesome". There have been much older guests than Fang Yi on this show before, so being on this show certainly doesn't count as a bargain.
