The Hong Kong Performing artists Association held a general meeting a few days ago, and a group of artists voted for a new leadership and council, hoping to further develop the local entertainment industry under their management and protect the interests of a group of local artists.
In this vote, film tycoon Louis Koo won a landslide victory as president for the fourth time in a row, once again proving his irreplaceable position and influence in the current Hong Kong community. Yu Anan and Qian Jialuo were elected vice presidents, and their duty was to assist Louis Koo to work together for the Hong Kong circle.
Zhang Jicong, who parted ways with TVB and worked deeply in the film industry, became secretary-general, with the task of organizing and coordinating the affairs of the Performing artists Association. Zhou Jiayi, a veteran actress, served as treasurer and was responsible for managing the financial and financial operations of the Association.
Actor Cen Jiaqi, who has a strong regional color and deeply ploughs the local market, and Zhang Jingxuan, who has just won the award for a popular male singer, have been selected as directors of the association, whose duty is to participate in the decision-making and management of the association and to provide support and services to its members.
In addition, Wang Zixuan, Xu Zhiyong (Xiao Fei), you Xuexiu, Liang Xidan (Xian Dan), Lei Shenru, Zhao Shanheng and Zheng Wen were invited to become special directors, whose duty is to provide professional insights and experience to the management. promote exchanges and cooperation between the Hong Kong community, and provide better service and support for artists.
From the above list, most of the new management are artists who deeply cultivate the local market. The older generation of artists who once occupied the majority and moved their career center northward are almost extinct. Xiao Bian believes that this phenomenon reflects to some extent the current situation of the declining influence of Hong Kong entertainment circles, and also indicates their future mainstream development route and direction (Note: Focus on the local market).
Of course, this situation may also be related to the establishment of other performing arts organizations.
In 2018, Jackie Chan, who soon stepped down as president of the Association of Performing artists, jointly established the "Hong Kong artists mainland Development Association" in conjunction with Wang Mingquan, Alan Tam, Donald Tsang, Nicholas Tse and Wang Cho-lan. The Association has offices in Hong Kong, Beijing and Hengdian to promote performing arts exchanges between the two places, provide necessary assistance to artists going northward, and increase the opportunities for the Hong Kong industry to participate in mainland production. In other words, problems related to northward development and exchanges and cooperation between the industries of the two places can be solved more professionally in this nascent performing arts organization.
Therefore, the Performing artists Association has become more localized, and it is a very normal choice to focus on the development of the local market and seek overseas cooperation, and even now, Qian Jiale and Wang Zixuan, two artists who have a close relationship with TVB, have taken care of all aspects. Where will Louis Koo lead them in his new term? Will further changes take place in the Performing artists Association? Please wait and see.
