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

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

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 actors are aging seriously.

The Hong Kong film and television circle was once an eye-catching star-making base. In 1980s and 1990s, a large number of movie stars emerged, showing a prosperous scene, which 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 Tan, Zheng Shaoqiu, Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Xiaochun, Dong Yi, Louis Koo, Anita Mui, Wu Qianlian, Ye Qianwen, Lin Zixiang, Ren Dahua, Faye Wong, Jacky Cheung, Liming, Aaron Kwok and Jacky Cheung.

Of course, it is impossible for directors to let go of so many stars, so movies with various themes emerge one after another, which are good-looking, such as Jackie Chan's movies (many of which are not listed one by one), and other movies such as Honey Juice, Rouge Kou, bride with white hair, Hero, Wandering World, Prison Storm (you know this, haha), Beijing Opera blues and happy ghosts.

But what about now? These movie stars either quit the film and television circle, and those who didn't quit are old. At that time, Wu Zhenyu (1987 became famous) and Nick Cheung (1989 began acting) were still very famous. It's about 50 now.

Now Hong Kong movies are just police gangs, we can't see life movies, and the actors take turns. (We all know who the actors are), and the male stars can recite, and the female stars are looking for the mainland ... alas!

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

Hello, everyone, I'm my favorite who recommends a good movie to you every day. Look forward to your attention!

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

Let's start with directors and actors.

Ten years ago, if someone asked me who my favorite Hong Kong film and television actor was, I would have answered "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. Ten years later, the same question, I found that the answer is actually the same.

What does this mean? Should be self-evident. Recently, the actors in Hong Kong movies this year seem to be the same as ten years ago, and there is a serious shortage of successors. Besides the full screen of Louis Koo, do you remember any new generation of Hong Kong actors who will hold the stage? There are many reasons for this phenomenon, and it is worth writing an article alone. But in the final analysis, the soil and time for producing high-quality Hong Kong films have passed.

Let's take a look at the current Hong Kong directors. The market determines that the mainstream audience of their films is the mainland audience, and their works need to cater to our tastes, which invisibly makes the so-called "Hong Kong flavor" drift away. It's a pity that I didn't do very well after losing what I was good at.

Secondly, talk about the big environment.

It is estimated that many old fans, like me, count their favorite classic Hong Kong films and find that 30% to 40% are impossible to be shown in China. In order to cater to the domestic market, it is necessary 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 massive terror and Du Qifeng's satire on reality.

In the future, there will only be the label of "China movies", and there will be no more "Hongkong movies" and "Taiwan Province movies", which is the progress of the times and the general 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, you 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 and doesn't go to court. Welcome to share more new ideas about movies:)

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

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

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

His masterpieces include Butterfly Lovers, Ghost Story, Longmen Inn, the legendary swordsman, One-armed Knife, meteor butterfly sword, Xiao, Tianya Knife and so on. In addition, Shaw's films have also trained a number of outstanding Kung Fu students, such as Wang Yu, Fu He, Fu He.

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

As a rising star, New Art City has trained seven eccentrics, including Shi Tian, Mai Jia, Huang Baiming and Tsui Hark, and created one classic after another, such as Best Partner and Ghost of Joy Series. Tsui Hark is the most famous of the seven eccentrics in the New Art City. He is a representative of the new martial arts such as Hong Kong films "Xinlongmen Inn", "the legendary swordsman" and "Huang Feihong". John Woo and Tsui Hark jointly created the true colors of heroes, and then completely turned over. Later, bloody streets, bloody heroes and other parts of the world established their status as masters of violent aesthetics.

In addition, of course, there are Du Qifeng Galaxy Image, Liu Weiqiang Gangster Series and Jing Wong Pornography, all of which are important movie types. Hong Kong films began to decline in the late 1990s. After that, although there were classics such as Infernal Affairs and Chill, none of them could 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 Province. With the decline of Taiwan Province Province, Hong Kong films lacking market support are also declining.

2. Lack of resources for the younger generation: With the aging of labeled roles in Hong Kong movies, the younger generation is short of new students, even the established companies are trying to cultivate new people.

3. Label fading: Hollywood in the United States once analyzed Hong Kong movies, which is the only movie in the world that does not need to consider the process. Just enjoy yourself and don't worry about whether it's reasonable or not. This is the existence of Hong Kong films 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 China film market, Hong Kong films are constantly assimilated and lack their own characteristics and recognition.

4. Classics are hard to copy: Jing Wong said that Stephen Chow is the best comedian and no one will surpass him in the next 30 years. As the saying goes, the times make heroes. Without Hong Kong, it is difficult to copy the classics in the golden age.

The soul of Hong Kong director is gone. Hong Kong directors have good basic skills, such as Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain director Tan, whom I worked with. But now they are all trying to earn money and play with tickets, lacking the persistence in the heyday of Hong Kong movies and the soul dedicated to art.

These are the reasons why I personally think 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 why I don't like it.

As the saying goes, ten miles is different from the sky.

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

Take myself for example, I am in Shenzhen and will go to Hong Kong, but I don't know Cantonese, so I can't understand the original sound of Hong Kong opera, and Hong Kong people don't like it very much.

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

Hong Kong movies are going downhill, and Modern Times is over.

At present, the cast, costumes and plots of Hong Kong opera have no lasting appeal in the past, which cannot give spiritual impact to contemporary young people.

In the past, watching Stephen Chow's movies, Tsui Hark's movies, and Ching-Ying Lam's movies will all lament the technology and culture at that time, but now Hong Kong films can't.

Therefore, the loss of audience is normal.

Nowadays, many people will miss the handsome guys and beautiful women in Hong Kong in the 1990s. In fact, what we miss is the aesthetic culture of the 1990s.

In the 1990s, Hong Kong's clothing, clothing, housing, transportation and culture were among the best in the world popular culture. Now we often refer to the retro Hong Kong style, which refers to the aesthetics of clothing and makeup in Hong Kong in the 1990s.

Now Hong Kong's aesthetic style is gradually moving closer to 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 culture. In the past, everyone watched TV, and we watched everything on TV. There are not many choices.

There will be The Duke Of Mount Deer's Eight Dragons, The Dragon Slayer, Xinlongmen Inn and Legend of the Condor Heroes, as well as films starring Brigitte Lin, Chow Yun Fat and Stephen Chow. , although not many times.

In my impression, there are few American dramas, English dramas, Korean dramas and Japanese dramas. After the popularity of smart phones, everyone has several video apps on their mobile phones, which can be more selective. Besides, there are indeed many wonderful TV dramas in Korean TV dramas, Japanese TV dramas, American TV dramas and English TV dramas, such as The Handmaid's Story, Harry Potter, Sherlock, Game of Thrones, Hey, Dog Li, Unnatural Death and so on.

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

When I was a child, I also watched many Hong Kong dramas, such as romance, jewelry, princess getting married, searching for gods, god list and so on. We also watched the Apostles after the 20 15 fire.

I have seen many movies in Hong Kong, and the famous directors and actors in Hong Kong know them very well. 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 opera. If we come across Hong Kong dramas and films with good plots, strong cast and beautiful pictures, we will still watch them.

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

At that time, there was a slogan of Hong Kong movies called Ten Million Box Office Club, which meant that a movie was successful if it won 10 million box office.

According to the laws of Hong Kong's film industry at that time, the box office expenses for film, shooting and publicity did not exceed HK$ 3 million, but now many second-rate actors can't afford HK$ 3 million.

Therefore, after the 1990s, the cost of film production increased sharply, which made it impossible to maintain small-budget films in Hong Kong. However, the decline of Hong Kong films has caused film practitioners to go northward one after another, and Hong Kong filmmakers have stopped working. Without movies with high-quality stars, there will naturally be no good movies.

As a concept, Hong Kong films gradually died out in the rising tide of China. The feeling of Hong Kong films only stays in memories, and the concept of "China films" which marks the great integration of writers from Chinese mainland, Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province and even Southeast Asia has gradually taken shape in recent years.

This is also a lot of movies that miss 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 Dongfanghong, model operas, storytelling, cross talk, pingtan, Peking Opera and Huangmei Opera. You can't have too much explicit love and affection. If you make a mistake, you will go to jail. In the 1980s, there was little love and affection in domestic TV movies, mainly war movies. Suddenly, TV dramas imported from Japan are also very conservative. 1983, a Hong Kong condor chivalrous man swept the country with gorgeous pictures, which made people feel refreshed. The love story in it makes people enjoy it. Huang Rong and jing elder brother, one after another, fascinated many men. A condor hero talked about how many families bought televisions, and then movies kept coming. The main reason is that the actress is more beautiful than Chinese mainland's. The picture and sound of the film are also good. I dare to shoot 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 investment is also astronomical. On the contrary, Hong Kong films can't do anything. There are also the popularity of Korean dramas in previous years, and now Japanese anime is being chased by young people. The fragrant film is over.

I feel that Hong Kong films are getting worse and worse now! It seems that just to make money at the box office and ignore other aspects! Just find a small meat pig dog, make a film, make it neither fish nor fowl, and promote it! It is also unsatisfactory! Besides, many famous directors, such as the Four Heavenly Kings and Jackie Chan, and even producers, such as Jing Wong, are old and really have no successors! So now Hong Kong movies are really far behind the previous glorious years! On the other hand, Chinese mainland's movies are getting better and better now! The more you shoot, the more interesting it is!
