Once upon a time, Hong Kong films were infinitely brilliant, but in recent years, the popularity of Hong Kong films has been declining at a visible rate, of course, this is related to Hong Kong films themselves, but it is undeniable that Hong Kong films have become popular with a large number of powerful actors, and Chen Xiaochun is one of them.
Although Chen Xiaochun is not as popular as Andy Lau and Tony Leung, he still wins the love of many fans with his changeable performance style, and when it comes to Chen Xiaochun, the movie "Crazy Boy" cannot be avoided.
In 1996, the movie "The Man of the Troubled Boy in the Rivers and Lakes" was released, and in the case of not being favored, the film achieved a word-of-mouth box office counterattack, and Chen Xiaochun, who played the "pheasant" in the film, began to be recognized by the audience.
After that, Chen Xiaochun successively participated in many works of the "Crazy Boy" series, and achieved a good response, to be honest, Chen Xiaochun's appearance at that time once made people suspect that he was not acting, I thought that with Chen Xiaochun's appearance conditions and acting style, there would be no big development in the future.
What people didn't expect was that in 1998, Chen Xiaochun starred in the TV series "The Story of Deer and Ding", playing the role of "Wei Xiaobao" in the play.
Later, Chen Xiaochun starred in more and more works, including comedy, science fiction, action, and horror films, and a wide range of dramas also made Chen Xiaochun famous.
In 2010, Chen Xiaochun and Ying Caier got married, and after marriage, Chen Xiaochun focused his work on his family, and he and Ying Caier are also regarded as a model couple in the entertainment industry.
Today's Chen Xiaochun can be said to be a proper winner in life.
However, according to Hong Kong media reports recently, Chen Xiaochun's new drama "Anti-Black 2" was completely suspended due to financial problems, and hundreds of actors were tragically affected, which caused heated discussions among netizens.
In 2017, the TV series "Anti-Black" starring Chen Xiaochun and Chen Guokun achieved good word-of-mouth and ratings after it was launched, so in 2023, it was announced that the second season would officially start filming after a lapse of six years.
It is reported that the investment amount in the second season is as high as 200 million, in addition to the return of Chen Xiaochun, Chen Guokun and other original members, the second season also invited Xie Tianhua, Chen Ying and other Hong Kong stars to join, from the perspective of the cast, the second season has indeed been greatly improved.
In November last year, "Anti-Black 2" held a start-up ceremony, and then officially started filming, but I didn't expect that after the start of filming, it had a bumpy road, and recently it was completely stopped due to financial problems, which directly led to many actors in the play having no scenes to film.
And TVB is not like domestic entertainment, many actors are all filming to support their families, and it still has a great impact on them after the complete shutdown.
According to media reports, the reason for the suspension of work was that the sky-high investment of 200 million yuan scared the "gold owners" and chose to withdraw their funds, and Shao Shaw, one of the gold owners, did not dare to be impulsive, and was only willing to invest 10 million, so they had no choice but to stop work.
At present, the production team is actively looking for "new funders" to invest, and if all goes well, it is expected to resume filming at the end of April.
I have to say that today's Hong Kong drama market is really not optimistic, the form is single, and the market is too small, resulting in TVB can only cut back on food and clothing, more and more Hong Kong stars come to the mainland to develop, and the outflow of talents has dimmed the once brilliant TVB star, and in the long run, TVB really has no chance to turn over!
