1722 [Looking at Shenzhou in the North]
After getting rid of these parents' entanglements, Xia Tian successfully walked into the office. .
"How about these young actors audition?" he asked with a smile.
"Five people have been interviewed, and there are still twelve people who have not interviewed." Wang Jinghui reported, and then sighed, "Hollywood is really a movie holy place. Even the young actors here have good acting skills. They are really a matter of Tianbao and a handsome star."
"Don't be sad. Many American parents ask their children to learn singing and perform when they are very young. Over time, they have certainly made a large number of child stars." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "In Hong Kong, parents regard their children as treasures. If there is still a bite at home, who would be willing to throw a three or four-year-old child to learn performance."
Hong Kong and the United States have different educational concepts. Hong Kong parents pursue all kinds of inferior products. Only by studying well, letting their children go to prestigious schools, take the college entrance exam, and go abroad to study is their greatest wish.
Because the admission rate of Hong Kong universities is only 18%, such a severe admission rate has led parents to work hard for their children's future since kindergarten.
In order to be able to enter a prestigious school, parents do not hesitate to queue up all night. In order to be able to successfully interview, children also have to go to kindergarten interest classes and interview classes, and even parents have to prepare together. It is quite hard. Under the pressure of all the pressure of going to school, letting children be distracted from learning performances, wouldn’t it be a good job!
Not to mention that only one in ten thousand chances become popular, parents really dare not take risks. Even child stars who have become famous will be taken back to school by their parents on the grounds that they affect their studies.
For example, Xiao Berlin, a child star who became popular with "Kicking the Treasure", "One Bite OK" and "Zombie Taoist Master 2", was pulled back to school by his parents after playing Xiao Xiami in "Zombie Taoist Master 2".
Taiwanese child star Hao Shaowen also withdrew from the entertainment industry because of her studies at the age of thirteen; mainland child stars Guan Ling (I love my family), Xie Miao (Hong Xiguan), Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan (with children in the family), etc., also returned to school after becoming famous.
In comparison, American parents pay more attention to quality education and are willing to cultivate their children's interests from an early age. If they like acting, they will send him to learn performances; if they like basketball, they will send him to play basketball.
By looking at the resumes of many Hollywood stars, you can tell that too many of them have started learning acting skills since childhood and embarked on the road of acting step by step.
Therefore, it is not that Hong Kong children are stupid and do not know how to act, but because they do not have the right soil.
...
Wang Jing nodded when he heard Xia Tian say this.
There are child stars in Hong Kong. Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Mei Yanfang and others have all performed since childhood and have achieved career success.
But the reason why they do this is not because they love acting, but mainly because their families were poor when they were young, so they were able to come out to perform at a young age.
But now that Hong Kong's economy is taking off, not to mention everyone making money, at least solving food and clothing is no longer a problem, so naturally there are not so many parents who will let their children suffer.
Moreover, in the traditional Chinese concept, acting is never a good move. Even those who are engaged in acting work do not want their children to work in this work again.
For example, he has a daughter himself. When he grows up, he will send her abroad to study and learn to be a doctor, lawyer or accountant, but he will never enter the entertainment industry.
Not only did he think so, Di, Jiang Dawei, Chu Yuan and others also had children, and they did not let them enter the entertainment industry. Even director Li Hanxiang asked his daughter to star in movies, it was after they grew up.
In comparison, Hollywood is really a second-generation star, and the Star House is endless. For example, Michael Douglas's father is the well-known iron-armed movie star Kirk Douglas; Charlie Shen's father is the well-known movie star Martin Shen; Michael Jackson debuted with his brothers since childhood, and even his sister debuted later... The whole family is a big star.
"But that's right, but Hollywood has cultivated talents since childhood, and naturally talents are endless. Hong Kong has lost from the starting point, so how can we compare with others?" Wang Jing sighed.
"Hong Kong is inferior and loses at the starting line. But don't forget that we have the Central Mainland behind us." Xia Tian smiled, "The mainland is very good at cultivating performing talents."
In fact, the mainland is not inferior to Hollywood in the cultivation of performing talents. There are hundreds of thousands of art candidates alone every year. This is not the students in the Youth Palace, Interest Class, Dance Troupe, and Art School.
Many children start learning from an early age. In terms of professionalism and hard work, they are guaranteed to be no worse than Hollywood children. However, although the mainland has a mature training system, they do not provide them with sufficient performance stage.
Many children have no place to use their skills after they finish their studies. For example, there are 38 students in a certain 985 school, and only seven of them are engaged in broadcasting and hosting after graduation. The rest are forced to change to other jobs.
Xia Tian graduated from the Beijing Film Academy Director Department and was a regular professional class, but he had been working in the entertainment industry for ten years before finally making a movie. How difficult it is!
In comparison, Hollywood has a mature talent training system and provides these talents with a stage for performance, which is the most amazing thing.
Nowadays, the entertainment industry in the mainland is not yet developed, and even if many children learn, it is difficult to make a comeback. At the same time, the booming Hong Kong entertainment industry is just the time to be eager for talents. If you can connect in pairs, I believe that one plus one will be more than two.
"Mainland actors come to Hong Kong to develop?! Is that okay?" Wang Jing said with some doubts.
Although Hong Kong and the mainland are in line with each other, there are many differences. He is worried that mainlanders will be unacceptable to the local environment when they come to Hong Kong.
"Why can't it be? Didn't Li Lianjie come from the mainland? He is not very popular?" Xia Tian smiled, "Will the way forward, aren't Li Hanxiang, Hu Jinquan, Zhang Che and other major directors also come from the mainland? What's the problem?"
"Well, that's true." Wang Jing nodded when he heard what he said.
"So I plan to set up talent recruitment centers in the capital, magic capital and Guangzhou in the mainland in the future, and select mainland performing talents to enter Hong Kong. In this way, we will not worry about no talents being available." Xia Tian smiled.
"But in this case, won't the Hong Kong actors be stolen from their jobs?" Wang Jing said worriedly when he heard this.
"There is nothing to do. This industry is originally a journey against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. If the Hong Kong entertainment industry does not introduce talents, it will sooner or later be defeated by Hollywood. At that time, those people will also be unemployed. Therefore, if you want to avoid being eliminated, you have to work hard to improve." Xia Tian waved his hand.
"Besides, with my help, Hong Kong movies have now entered the United States successfully, and the market has expanded dozens of times more than before. Now we are not worried about not having any chance, but about not having talents." Xia Tian smiled again.
Previously, Hong Kong movies could only be sold in Taiwan, Nanyang and other places, and the market was limited. Therefore, Hong Kong could only shoot about a hundred or ten films every year. If there were too many, it would not be sold at a high price. It could only be hit by the left hand. In order to avoid losses, film companies could only reduce the number of films.
Now that Hong Kong movies can be imported into the United States, the market will expand suddenly. Even if you shoot dozens or hundreds of movies, you are not afraid of having no market to sell, so you naturally need more talents.
