As a former big brother, a later competitor, and a close comrade-in-arms now, the film’s attitude towards TV is more complicated. You can experience the helplessness of the other party in a movie like "Television Station," and it is indispensable for the "Ace Announcer". Jokes and ridicule, but in the end can be classified as a sweet inspirational drama in "Morning Anchor". Television has gradually been treated fairly from the pronoun of vulgarity and boring in the early years, and the once gangsters naturally have an endless stream of new media to back it up.
Although they have the same popular attributes, movies with a higher degree of authorship can't help showing superiority in front of TV. In movies: TV audiences are blindly obedient and numb like in "Trumen's World", and the main creators of TV are Like in "Quick Quiz", even the cable TV repairman can't escape, and he can turn into a metamorphosis in a movie of the same name, which makes people nightmares again and again. As for the various forms of TV programs, they have been shot. News, talk shows, and variety shows can't run, and reality shows have become the ultimate target of verbal criticism.
However, in serious dramas, television can also be the conscience of the industry to uphold justice. In "Breaking Inside", fearless reporters put their lives and deaths out of control in order to expose the harmful effects of smoking; in "China Syndrome" Here, young and promising female anchors are also willing to sacrifice everything to expose the risk of nuclear leakage to the public. But in many cases, people speak softly, and full of ambition can only be turned into a long sigh.
Nowadays, most movie stars have the experience of acting in TV dramas, but TV is more like their training grounds and nursing homes. When they are fledgling, they will take on TV dramas to earn popularity, and then move to the big screen to become Gao Shuaifu; When there is a bottleneck, you can retreat to the small screen, and if you are lucky, you can make a comeback with popular shows, otherwise you can rely on the capital of the movie circle to spend a few years with pension money.
But today's movies and TV are united like never before, because these two old guys are facing challenges from giants such as Netflix and Amazon. Data from North America time and time again shows that people don’t spend less time on TV, but they don’t watch cable or public TV stations, but Netflix’s pay-on-demand. Now these Big Macs have begun to test the waters to make movies, challenging the traditional profit model of the film industry.
Whether to face the difficulties and fight for the next revival, or pretend to be deaf and dying in silence, movies and television may soon give the answer.
