"I am often worried that these young people are not good at socializing in the Mainland." Facing many executives from Mainland film and television companies in the audience, Ye Dongsheng bluntly said that "Hong Kong actors are paid very well." He encouraged young Hong Kong actors to practice well. Mandarin, make good use of mainland social software, and proactively integrate into the mainland market.
When talking about the film and television cooperation between the Mainland and Hong Kong, Ye Dongsheng used his personal experience in Hengdian Film and Television City, Zhejiang to suggest that Hong Kong film and television people actively "go north". "I have been in Hengdian for nearly ten years and have filmed films such as "I Am a Passerby" and "The Sword of the Third Young Master". The mainland has complete production facilities, policy support is in place, and the film and television industry is full of momentum." Er Dongsheng said.
In the past few months, Er Dongsheng has gained countless "fans" on the Internet for recording mainland acting variety shows. At the end of the forum, Ye Dongsheng, as a "career mentor", sent a message to the new generation of Hong Kong actors present, hoping that they would hone their basic skills and be less optimistic about vanity fairs.
"The source of creation comes from the observation of life. The growth of experience lies in the accumulation outside the studio. Maybe every audience present at the forum will be the source of inspiration for your future roles." Er Dongsheng said. (End)
