Chapter 234 Events that changed the mainland entertainment industry!
"Old Zhang, the crew will leave it to you these two days. Omen is an unfamiliar place, so you have to be careful about everything."
On the way to the airport, Tang An kept reminding Zhang Yiping.
Due to the Yanzhao Gate Incident, he had to rush back to the mainland for at least three or four days at a time. These days, the crew could only let Zhang Yiping lead the crew first.
But fortunately, the remaining scenes in Omen are not difficult at present, so there is no problem in handling them.
"Don't worry, Director Tang, I will restrain them." Zhang Yiping immediately nodded and responded.
Although Omen is not as chaotic as in the police movies, there is nothing wrong with being careful.
After getting on the plane, we returned to the capital at noon. Xu Manyun was already waiting at the airport.
"Are there any trends among some domestic entertainment companies now?"
As soon as he got in the car, before he could take a breath, Tang An asked.
Xu Manyun sighed, "It's all a mess. More than a dozen movies have had their roles changed and put on hold. Some variety shows have also temporarily changed their guests. Twins' concerts this year have also been cancelled."
During this period, there have been constant revelations about which crew has terminated their contracts with Hong Kong stars, and many other variety shows and concerts have been temporarily put on hold. Basically, this matter is spreading in the entertainment industry.
The media hyped the situation, the masses watched the excitement, and each company did not come forward to refute the rumors. They regarded it as just for publicity and could not tell whether it was true or false.
"Tell me carefully, which movies are about to change roles." Tang An took a sip of water, moved his chair backwards, and lay there to rest.
"The most serious thing is the movie "Jump Out" starring Cheng Guanxi. It was only completed in January. It is said that almost half of the post-production is done. Now the production company is going crazy and is looking for actors all over the world to reshoot all Cheng Guanxi's scenes. He
But he’s the number one male!” Xu Manyun sighed.
"Which company's film is this?"
Tang An has never seen this film, but Guan Xi was indeed changed into a different character at this time. Unexpectedly, the filming of the film has already been completed.
"It was invested by Columbia and Xinghui. Most of the actors are from Xinghui, and the second male lead is Wu Yanzu."
Wu Yanzu's role as Cheng Guanxi is enough to prove Cheng Guanxi's status in Hong Kong's entertainment industry. It can be said that if this incident had not happened, Cheng Guanxi would definitely be the leader among the new generation of artists in Hong Kong.
But there has never been such a thing in the world. Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Bozhi, the two most famous artists of the Mesozoic era in Hong Kong, were implicated, along with Cheng Guanxi, the number one person of the new generation, and Zhuang Xintong, the number one group in Hong Kong.
The stars of Xiangjiang are gone, and actors from the younger generation of Xiangjiang are basically not seen in big productions in the Mainland.
On the other hand, Zhang Jiahui, Liu Qingyun and others who have been involved in action and police movies have risen to prominence.
"Apart from Cheng Guanxi, Zhuang Xintong was the most affected. Her role as the young Fu Zhifang in "Mei Lanfang" was opposed by Fu Zhifang's descendants. It is said that she is already negotiating with Chen Kaige. If the person is not replaced, she will
Sue Brother Chen Kai for infringing on the reputation and portrait rights of our ancestors."
"Her starring role in "Water Lotus" has also been officially announced to be postponed indefinitely!"
Xu Manyun continued, "Twins' new album "Tonghua Yanyu" has been completely removed from the shelves in the mainland, and the national tour concert "We Have Loved Six Years" that was being prepared this summer has also been suspended."
"It is rumored that the heroine Cai Zhuoyan's scenes will be deleted from "Slam Dunk". A movie currently being filmed in Hengdian and "Sword Butterfly" starring Wu Zun and Hu Ge has also been suspended. I wonder if the producer will
Change the actors."
"The scenes in "Mei Lanfang" will definitely be cut. It depends on whether Brother Chen Kai deletes them or changes the actors. After experiencing "The Promise", he definitely doesn't want to take risks anymore."
Tang An was also recalling what happened during this period in his mind. He had watched "Mei Lanfang" and the role of young Fu Zhifang was basically deleted, leaving only a back figure. It was not even visible in the official cast list.
This character does not even have Zhuang Xintong’s name.
"Out of the Water" didn't change its cast, and it seemed like it was directly postponed to 10 years before its release.
However, Cai Zhuoyan should be fine. "Slam Dunk" will be released in half a month. Unless the schedule is changed, it will be too late.
Moreover, the annual income of Twins ranks among the top ten among Hong Kong artists. The boss of Yinghuang will definitely not let this group become famous. Later, it was just to stop the loss and go solo, but it will no longer be famous as before.
There was also Yung Zuer, who was also involved. He was also the biggest money-maker among the celebrities in Hong Kong. His annual income was 50 million, but it was not as good as before.
This time it can be said that Yinghuang has lost all its profitable artists. Xie Tingfeng, Zhang Bozhi and others have an annual income of more than 200 million.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a strain on one's muscles and bones.
Although Zhang Bozhi and Zhuang Xintong have worked hard for 10 years, Zhang Bozhi has continued to make film appointments, and her salary has soared to 10 million yuan!
But more than two years have been enough time for too many things to happen. Before that, she had received more than ten Best Actress nominations, and after the scandal, almost all the movies she participated in were bad.
This is only the superficial impact. The scandal almost wiped out the most prominent stars of the post-80s generation that the entertainment industry in Hong Kong had worked so hard to cultivate. Since then, Hong Kong has never produced an idol star who is a pan-entertainment star.
After them, Xiangjiang never produced a real star again, and it just stopped.
Mainland film and television companies have hired mainland actors one after another. Mesozoic stars have taken over and starred in major productions one after another. Stars of the new generation have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, one after another.
No one expected that just because of a few photos, the structure of the mainland film market would be changed, and the original situation of young actors from the mainland supporting young actors from Hong Kong would no longer exist.
Zhang Yimou's "Three Guns to Surprise" and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" did not use Xiangjiang stars.
"Mulan" stars two mainland students, Hua Dan.
...
Except for those actors of the older generation, there are no stars in Xiangjiang.
I also roughly understood the matter along the way, and now major domestic companies are also considering whether it will be them this time, in case it is someone else next time.
Is it time to adjust the direction and try using mainland stars?
We are still in the consideration stage, and various companies are meeting every day. Huayi's film and television production is the largest part of the business, so we naturally have to weigh it carefully.
Tang An was not in a hurry to go to Huayi and went back to sleep for a day.
From noon until the sun completely sets, I don't wake up until 7 o'clock in the evening.
I yawned and came out of the room to wash my face.
Xu Manyun has already prepared the meal and is waiting on the table, still typing away on his laptop.
Seeing that Tang An had woken up, he quickly closed his notebook, served him a bowl of rice, and took another bowl to save the bowl of soup.
Xu Manyun handed the chopsticks to his hand, smiled and said, "Wake up, come and eat."
I woke up naturally after a nap, looked at the large table full of dishes, and inhaled the delicious aroma.
“This month in Omen we either have barbecued pork or roasted pork, and chicken, pork, and beef are all dipped in various curries, sauces, and satays. How can they be as delicious as the stir-fried dishes in our mainland!”
