"Before I invited you to this show, I noticed that there were a lot of rumors on the Internet …"
Shen Shuling's pair of phoenix eyes stared at Lu Chen without blinking. Her voice was so pleasant from beginning to end, but the taste in her words was not necessarily gentle and harmless.
"Someone said on a blog that the new support policy issued by the Hong Kong government could bring back the glory of the Hong Kong film industry. But first of all, it has attracted the 'wolves', which will undoubtedly have an impact on the Hong Kong film industry and further intensify the fierce competition."
"He suggested that the Hong Kong government should adjust the policy and impose restrictions on foreign actors."
"So, Lu Chen, do you think that you are also a member of the wolves? Or do you have any opinion on this?"
In the show, Shen Shuling was the host, and she was also the topic guide. Maybe she didn't take any position, but she interacted with the guests objectively and neutrally.
However, this didn't mean that she didn't touch on sensitive topics. On the contrary, she was consciously driving the atmosphere of the conversation and creating conflicts and arguments.
This was the first topic that Zhuang Dong brought up. He was undoubtedly a supporter of this sensitive topic. Seeing that Shen Shuling brought the fire of war to Lu Chen, a faint smile appeared on his face, as if he was watching a good show.
In Zhuang Dong's eyes, Lu Chen was very young, which meant that he lacked enough experience, shrewdness, and adaptability. Moreover, Lu Chen had just come from the mainland, so he must be very unfamiliar with Hong Kong.
Shen Shuling's question was very tricky, and it also touched on the sensitive side of Hong Kong people. If Lu Chen's answer was slightly appropriate, then his interview that night would be a failure.
In other words, Zhuang Dong would win without a fight, and it would be an easy victory.
In fact, it was not good to win too easily …
Zhuang Dong even had a little regret. The real victory should be crushing the opponent in a fierce battle.
Lu Chen pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking.
It seemed that this question had really stumped him, which made Zhuang Dong more and more proud.
But the audience sitting in front of the TV and watching this show had a different feeling.
Ah Kang's sister complained, "Really, how can you ask such an outrageous question? How do you expect people to answer?"
She was really infatuated with Lu Chen's handsomeness and instinctively spoke up for Lu Chen.
Ah Kang sympathized with Lu Chen. If he had been questioned like this, he would have behaved even worse.
In his heart, Ah Kang agreed with the "wolves". When he worked in the company, he often heard from his colleagues that the reason why the market was so bad, the prices were so high, and the housing prices were so expensive, were mainly because of the mainland.
Mainlanders came to Xiangjiang to shop and buy real estate in Xiangjiang because the mainlanders took over the Xiangjiang company's business …
Now, it was the movie industry's turn. What was the Hong Kong government thinking? Why didn't they think more about the locals? As the saying went, "Don't let the goodies flow to your own fields."
His mind was a mess of thoughts, and then he thought of Xiaowei.
I wonder if Xiaowei will be very angry?
Just then, Lu Chen spoke on the TV screen.
He looked very serious and said, "I think I and my colleagues from the mainland are not wolves …"
"If you want a metaphor, I think I would like to be a catfish."
"Catfish?"
Shen Shuling was surprised, "Why do you want to be a catfish?"
She felt that this metaphor was very strange.
Lu Chen smiled slightly. His smile was sunny and brilliant, which made Shen Shuling feel a little excited.
He said, "Let me tell you a story first."
"A long time ago, Norwegians liked to eat sardines, especially fresh sardines. But there were no aerators at that time, and the fishermen had to go out to sea to catch sardines for a long time. The sardines raised in the cabin did not like to move, and they often died on the way back to the port, so they could not be sold at a good price."
"But people found that many of the sardines caught by a fisherman were still alive, and he could always sell them at a high price. This secret was not revealed until the fisherman died."
Lu Chen told the story in detail, and there was suspense. Not only did Shen Shuling listen attentively, even Zhuang Dong was curious — he wanted to see what Lu Chen was up to!
Lu Chen continued, "It turned out that the fisherman raised a catfish in the cabin. Among the sardines, there was an extra fierce creature. They would swim and dodge instinctively, and they maintained their vitality. Finally, many of them survived to the port."
After the story was finished, Shen Shuling, Zhuang Dong, and many of the audience in front of the TV faintly understood.
This also included the audience at the recording site, and the atmosphere in the studio became very subtle.
Lu Chen continued, "It can be said that I grew up watching Xiangjiang movies and TV dramas, mainly the Xiangjiang movies of the 1990s. There are many real classics, such as' Big Lawyer ',' True Love of the World ',' Hong Kong Hero ',' Life and Death Rescue 'and so on."
Shen Shuling laughed and said, "Then you must be a fan of Liu Gangsheng!"
Lu Chen also laughed, nodded and said calmly, "Yes, the wish that I want to realize in Xiangjiang includes meeting my idol, and being able to say a few words to him."
Shen Shuling laughed, "Then your wish will definitely come true!"
Lu Chen's admiration and respect for Liu Gangsheng made the Xiangjiang audience in front of the TV suddenly have a better impression of him.
Liu Gangsheng could be said to be the symbol and representative of the Xiangjiang people's hard work. His legendary life experience, who knew how many Xiangjiang young people to work hard. His songs and films all had a profound influence in Xiangjiang.
Lu Chen said, "At that time, when Xiangjiang's classic movies and TV dramas were broadcast in the mainland, they could all win very high box office and ratings, especially TV dramas. It was not an exaggeration to say that tens of thousands of people turned out to watch them."
"But now, how much market does Xiangjiang's movies and TV dramas still have in the mainland?"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the fierce counterattack was hidden in the implicit words, "As far as I know, I'm afraid there is not even 1% left."
Shen Shuling was silent.
The muscles on Zhuang Dong's face twitched. He wanted to refute, but found that he was unable to refute.
Because what Lu Chen said was completely right. The once glorious Xiangjiang Film and TV had long lost the ability to summon wind and rain in the mainland, and could only fight in their own territory and the traditional market in Southeast Asia.
Lu Chen's words ruthlessly revealed the current situation of Xiangjiang's film and TV industry. Combined with the story he told before, anyone with a little bit of intelligence could understand what he wanted to express.
Xiangjiang's film and TV industry was like sardines crowded in a narrow cabin, and they would die sooner or later.
Unless there was a catfish that stimulated them!
