recently, a friend told me that li lizhen might make a comeback in the entertainment industry.

i was a little stunned when i heard the news.

i remember she was a popular goddess-level figure back then. whether she was an innocent beauty or a sexy goddess who boldly transformed in her later years, she was the epitome of the glorious era of hong kong movies.

but now, the entertainment industry is no longer the hong kong of the 1980s and 1990s.

is it really that easy for a celebrity to make a comeback?

the story behind this is much more complicated than we imagine.

that era has passed

i think many people, like me, can never forget the glorious era of hong kong movies.

at that time, stars appeared one after another like dumplings.

li lizhen's appearance is like a dazzling star, and her transformation is even more bold, directly subverting people's imagination of "innocence".

she went from being a young girl in "happy ghost" to boldly starring in category iii films. every step she took was full of courage.

but think about it, the entertainment industry today is completely different from what it was back then.

the audience's appetite has long since changed.

in the past, when people watched movies, they relied on the acting skills of the actors and the charm of the characters.

but now, the audience is more focused on traffic and topics.

some people complained on the internet: "today's celebrities can copy and paste every face, how can they still have the personality and temperament of the past!"

the entertainment industry has become a market where looks and topics are king, while traffic and capital are what matters.

look at those young talents, each of them can become famous quickly by relying on marketing and hype. how can it be the turn of the older generation of celebrities to come back and steal the limelight?

it's not easy to come back.

competition becomes more brutal

li lizhen is now 52 years old.

her beauty used to be her capital, but what about now?

the traces of time are inevitable, the decline in appearance is normal, and the entertainment industry is a place where people rely on their "face" to make a living.

no matter how beautiful a woman is, she cannot stop the ravages of time.

also a veteran in the entertainment industry, shu qi was once known as the sexy goddess.

but after so many years of struggle on the front line, it is still difficult for her to remain invincible in the traffic era, let alone li lizhen, who has been out of action for many years?

some netizens shared: "comeback is a sentimental transaction, and very few of them are truly popular."

when celebrities come back, they not only compete for their former fame, but also their ability to adapt to today's market.

times have changed, and so has the market.

the audience’s aesthetics have changed

when li lizhen was at her peak, category iii films were the trend.

sexiness at that time was a unique kind of beauty.

but in today's entertainment industry, sexiness is no longer a selling point.

some netizens complained: "today's movies are no longer sexy enough. everyone is pursuing a more extreme sensory experience."

li lizhen was able to become an instant hit with category iii films, but today's market no longer pays for it.

if you think about it, audiences nowadays watch movies more for the big production, special effects, and even the novelty of the plot.

who would buy a ticket for an old-school c-rated film?

the audience has long been whetted by various high technologies and visual effects.

comeback cannot be achieved by relying on emotions.

comeback is more like a gamble

comeback is like a big gamble for celebrities.

if you win, you will naturally return to the top.

but what about losing?

maybe even the halo of the past cannot be maintained.

one netizen complained: "the comeback thing is, to put it bluntly, a kidnapping of emotions. whether the audience will buy it or not depends on whether they can follow the right rhythm."

think about it, how many celebrities have failed to make comebacks and ended up relying on various emotional variety shows to survive.

comeback depends not only on fame, but also on whether one can adapt to new trends and find a suitable position.

if it were me, i would probably choose to keep the good memories of those years, rather than risk a rash comeback, which may result in losing even the last bit of dignity.

li lizhen’s challenge

li lizhen was once a symbol of an era. her success was not only her personal achievement, but also the epitome of hong kong movies of that era.

her acting skills and her brave transformation are all still fresh in people's memory.

but now, the entertainment industry has completely changed.

the new generation of audiences may no longer be familiar with her name, let alone have high expectations for her comeback.

someone said: "if li lizhen can find a role that suits her, she may still have a chance."

but the reality is that there are fewer and fewer roles suitable for her.

the rules of the entertainment industry are like this: it is common for capable people to be eliminated, and appearance and topics are the king today.

if li lizhen really wants to make a comeback, she has to think clearly about whether she can withstand the indifference of the market and the fierce competition.
