Why don't some young people like Hong Kong films nowadays?

Why don't some young people like Hong Kong films nowadays?

I think there are two main reasons: 1. At present, the theme of Hong Kong movies is single. 2 Hong Kong actors are young and yellow, and the aging of actors is serious.

The former Hong Kong film and television circle was an eye-catching star-making base. In the 198s and 199s, a large number of film and television stars emerged, which presented a prosperous scene and promoted the development of the film industry.

The stars at that time were Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Andy Lau, Stephen Chow, Leslie Cheung, Tommy Tam, Liu Qingyun, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Alan Tam, Zheng Shaoqiu, Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Xiaochun, Dong Yi, Louis Koo, Anita Mui, Wu Qianlian, Ye Qianwen, Lin Zixiang, Ren Dahua, Faye Wong, Jacky Cheung, Dawn.

Of course, directors can't let so many stars go, so movies with various themes emerge one after another, and they are good-looking. For example, Jackie Chan's movies (I don't want to list them one by one), as well as other movies such as Honey, Rouge Kou, bride with white hair, Hero's True Color, Travel Around the World, and Prison Storm (you know, Haha), peking opera blues, Happy Ghost series, Ching-Ying Lam's funny zombie movie series, Rich and Powerful New Year movie series, Extralegal Love, Time flies, Shaolin Temple, Chongqing Forest, Ghost Story, Gambling God, Huang Feihong series, A Chinese Odyssey series.

but now? These movie stars either quit the film and television circle, and those who didn't quit are old. At that time, Wu Zhenyu (who became famous in 1987) and Nick Cheung (who started acting in 1989) still made their mark. Now they are all around 5.

At present, Hong Kong movies are just police gangs, but we can't see life movies. The actors are all in turn. (Everyone knows which actors), and the male stars can still shoulder the burden, while the female stars are looking for mainland ones ...... Alas!

Let's put "Sweet Honey" in the last picture. When Maggie Cheung and Dawn sang "Sweet Honey" together, they missed the former Hong Kong movies.

Hello, everyone. I recommend a good movie to you every day. I look forward to your attention!

Now not only young people, but also die-hard fans of Hong Kong films like me don't like Hong Kong films very much. The reason can be attributed to the decline of Hong Kong films! The decline of Hong Kong movies has become an indisputable fact.

first of all, let's start with directors and actors.

ten years ago, if someone had asked me who my favorite Hong Kong film and television actors were, I would have replied "Stephen Chow, Liu Qingyun, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Huang Qiusheng, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Jacky Cheung, Yam Tat-wah, Wu Zhenyu" and so on. There are too many good actors. Today, ten years later, the same question, I find the answer is actually the same.

What does this mean? It should be self-evident. The actors in Hong Kong movies in recent years seem to be the same as those ten years ago, and there is a serious shortage of successors. Apart from Louis Koo, whose screen is full, do you remember any other new generation of Hong Kong actors who can hold the stage? There are many reasons for this phenomenon, and it is worth writing an article alone. However, in the final analysis, the soil and times for producing high-quality Hong Kong films have passed.

Let's take a look at the current directors in Hong Kong. The market has decided that the mainstream audience of their films is mainland audiences, and their works need to cater to our tastes more, which virtually makes the so-called "Hong Kong flavor" drift away. Unfortunately, after losing what they were good at, they didn't do very well.

secondly, let's talk about the general environment.

It is estimated that many old movie fans, like me, count the classic Hong Kong films they like carefully and find that 3% to 4% of them are impossible to be shown in China. To cater to the domestic market, it is bound to give up some principles of Hong Kong films. As a result, we can no longer see Jing Wong's endless jokes, Qiu Litao's large-scale terror, and Du Qifeng's satire on reality.

In the future, there will only be a label of "China movies", and there will be no more "Hongkong movies" and "Taiwan Province movies". This is the progress of the times and the irresistible trend. As the largest film market in the world, no country can and cannot ignore the existence of China. Even Hollywood has to change movies for China.

Young people don't like Hong Kong films?

If you don't like it, don't like it, because there will be more "China movies" that will bring us infinite surprises.

Hello, everyone, I'm an autumn bureau that only talks about movies without lawsuits. Welcome to pay attention and share more new ideas about movies:)

Speaking of young people who don't like Hong Kong movies now, we must first understand the past of Hong Kong movies, understand why Hong Kong movies are lonely and what Hong Kong movies are doing now. Let's first sort out the basic situation of Hong Kong movies in their heyday.

Shaw and Jiahe are the most famous Hong Kong film companies.

The first Shaw has four directors, Li Hanxiang, Hu Jinquan, Zhang Che and Chu Yuan.

The representative works include butterfly lovers, Ghost Story, Longmen Inn, the legendary swordsman, One-armed Knife, meteor butterfly sword, Xiao Shilang, Tianya Mingyue Knife, etc. In addition, Shaw's films have cultivated a number of outstanding kung fu students, such as Wang Yu, Tommy Tam, John Chiang, alexander fu and Luo Lie.

Jiahe Film Company, first of all, Bruce Lee, whose appearance directly rewrote the history of Jiahe, and four and a half films were a hit, which made a good turnaround for Jiahe. Later, representatives of Kung Fu comedies such as Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan appeared in Jiahe Film Company, followed by Ching-Ying Lam, Yuan Biao, Yuan Wah, Zhong Fa and Qian Jiale.

As a rising star, New Art City has cultivated seven eccentrics like Shi Tian, Mai Jia, Huang Baiming and Tsui Hark, and created one classic after another, such as Best Partner and Happy Guy series. The most famous of the seven eccentrics in New Art City is Tsui Hark, who is a representative of the new martial arts in Hong Kong movies, New Longmen Inn, the legendary swordsman, Huang Feihong and so on. John Woo and Tsui Hark jointly created The True Color of Heroes, and then they turned over completely. Later, Bloody Streets, Bloody Heroes and Across the World established their status as masters of violent aesthetics.

In addition, of course, there are Du Qifeng Galaxy Image, Liu Weiqiang's gangster series and Jing Wong's erotic films, all of which are important genre films. Hong Kong films began to decline in the late 199s. After that, although there were such classics as Infernal Affairs and Chill, they could not be compared with the glorious period.

We discuss the decline of Hong Kong films for the following reasons:

1. Market changes: The main market of Hong Kong films is Taiwan Province. With the decline of Taiwan Province, Hong Kong films that lack market support have gone into decline.

2. Lack of resources for the younger generation: With the aging of the tagged characters in Hong Kong movies, the younger generation is short of new students, even the established company Emperor is struggling to cultivate new people.

3. Tagging recedes: Hollywood in the United States once analyzed Hong Kong movies. It is the only movie in the world that doesn't need to consider the process. Just enjoy happiness and don't worry about whether it is reasonable or not. This is the existence of Hong Kong movies and the recognition of the market. However, the development of Hong Kong films now depends on the Chinese mainland market. In order to meet the needs of the audience in the China film market, Hong Kong films are constantly assimilated, lacking their own characteristics and recognition.

4. Classics are hard to copy: Jing Wong said that Stephen Chow is the best comedian, and there will be no one beyond him in the next 3 years. As the saying goes, current events make heroes, and it is difficult to copy classics because of the lack of the golden age of Hong Kong.

5. The soul of the Hong Kong director is gone. Hong Kong directors have very good basic skills, like Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain director Youye Tan Tan, who I have worked with. However, they are now trying to earn money and play with tickets, lacking the persistence of Hong Kong films in their heyday and the soul of dedicating themselves to art.

I personally think that young people don't like Hong Kong films. Of course, with the reform and opening up, the introduction of various types of films from various countries has broken the previous situation of relative monopoly of Hong Kong films in China.

As a young man who "doesn't like" Hong Kong opera, tell me the reason why I don't like it.

As the saying goes, the weather is different.

Although there are close exchanges between the Mainland and Hong Kong, after all, there are not many young people living in Hong Kong.

Take myself as an example. I am in Shenzhen, and I will go to Hong Kong, but I don't understand Cantonese, so I can't understand the soundtrack of Hong Kong drama, and Hong Kong Pu doesn't like it very much.

I may prefer watching domestic dramas to watching Hong Kong dramas.

Hong Kong movies are in decline, and moderns is over.

Nowadays, the cast, costumes and plots of Hong Kong dramas have no lasting appeal in the past, which can't give contemporary young people a spiritual shock.

In the past, watching movies in Stephen Chow, watching movies in Tsui Hark and watching movies in Ching-Ying Lam all lamented the technology and culture at that time, but now Hong Kong movies can't do it.

therefore, it is normal for the audience to lose.

Nowadays, many people will miss the handsome guys and beautiful women in Hong Kong in the 199s. In fact, what we miss is the culture of judging beauty in the 199s.

In the 199s, Hong Kong's clothing, clothing, housing, transportation and culture were among the best in the world's popular culture. Now, we often talk about the retro Hong Kong style, which refers to the aesthetic of Hong Kong's clothing and makeup in the 199s.

In Hong Kong, the aesthetic style is gradually approaching that of the mainland, and the aesthetic uniqueness of clothing makeup is gradually being caught up by the mainland.

the progress of the internet has brought foreign cultures. In the past, everyone watched TV, and we watched whatever was on TV. There was not much choice.

At that time, there will be Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas, The Duke Of Mount Deer, Eight Dragons, The Dragon Slayer, Xinlongmen Inn, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, as well as movies from Brigitte Lin, Chow Yun Fat and Stephen Chow, although they are not shown many times.

In my impression, there are hardly any American TV dramas, such as English TV dramas, Korean TV dramas and Japanese TV dramas. After the popularity of smart phones, everyone has several video apps with more choices. In addition, Korean TV dramas, Japanese TV dramas, American TV dramas and English TV dramas do have many wonderful TV dramas, such as The Handmaid's Story, Harry Potter, Sherlock, Game of Thrones, Hey Li Gou and Unnatural Death.

A person's energy is limited. After watching these TV dramas and movies, there is no time for Hong Kong dramas.

When I was a child, I also watched many Hong Kong dramas, such as Romance, Jewellery, The Princess Married, Searching for the Gods, The List of Gods, and so on. We also watched the Apostles after the fire in 215.

I've seen a lot of movies in Hong Kong, and the famous directors and actors in Hong Kong are all well aware of them. Stephen Chow is one of the most representative figures in Hong Kong films, and almost every young person has seen his films.

It's not that we absolutely don't like Hong Kong dramas. If we come across Hong Kong dramas and movies with good plots, strong cast and beautiful pictures, we will still watch them.

The reason is very simple. It is difficult for Hong Kong to make high-quality movies now.

At that time, Hong Kong movies had a slogan called Ten Million Box Office Club, which meant that a movie was very successful when it won ten million box offices.

According to the laws of the Hong Kong film industry at that time, the cost of filming and publicity for a movie with a box office of 1 million yuan did not exceed HK$ 3 million, but now many second-rate actors can't get it for HK$ 3 million.

Therefore, after the 199s, the cost of making films increased sharply, which led to the inability to maintain small-budget films in Hong Kong. However, the decline of Hong Kong films made film practitioners go northward, and Hong Kong filmmakers stopped working. Without films with high-quality stars, there would naturally be no good films.

As a concept, Hong Kong films gradually died out in the tide of China's rise. The feeling of Hong Kong films only remained in memories, and the concept of "Chinese films" which marked the great integration of Chinese writers in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan Province and even Southeast Asia has gradually taken shape in recent years.

This is also a lot of movies that miss the old Hong Kong more and more now.

First, you can directly contact foreign films, and second, the development of domestic films has made progress! The third Hong Kong film has made great progress, and the actors with box office appeal are old. The only advantage is that you can shoot some subjects that the mainland doesn't want to shoot.

During or after the Cultural Revolution, people all over the country could only hear and see the Oriental Red, model operas, storytelling, cross talk, pingtan, Peking Opera and Huangmei Opera. There should not be too much explicit love and affection, and you will go to jail if you say anything wrong. In the 198s, there was little love and affection in domestic TV movies, and war movies were the main ones. Suddenly, TV dramas imported from Japan are also very conservative. In 1983, a Hong Kong legend of condor heroes was popular all over the country, with gorgeous pictures, which made people find everything new and fresh. The love story in it made people watch with relish. Huang Rong and jing elder brother, one after another, made many men fascinated. A condor hero tells how many families bought TV sets, and then the movies kept coming. The main thing is that actresses are more beautiful than those in mainland China. The picture and sound of the film are also good. I dare to shoot the complex. Love will have sex scenes and fighting will be wonderful and humorous. Domestic films can't be compared. Now, domestic films have gone deep into life, and the film quality is very good. The money invested is also astronomical. On the contrary, Hong Kong films can't do anything. There is also the popularity of Korean dramas a few years ago, and now Japanese animation is chased by young people. Fragrant film is over.

I feel that Hong Kong films are getting worse and worse now! It seems that it's just to make money at the box office and ignore other aspects! Just find a little fresh meat, a pig and a dog, and make a film, and make it nondescript and promote it! It is also unsatisfactory! Moreover, many famous directors, such as the Four Kings and Star Jackie Chan, and even producers such as Jing Wong, are old and there are really no successors! Therefore, the current Hong Kong films are really far behind the previous glorious years! On the other hand, the movies in Chinese mainland are getting better and better now! The more you shoot, the more interesting it is!
