It is difficult for domestic films to get high marks. Why can Ghost Story get high marks?

In fact, it is not appropriate to simply take Douban score as the evaluation standard of a film. The audience of Douban is mainly China people, mainly young people. Their taste in watching movies depends largely on cultural background, historical background and some emotional factors. However, it is difficult for domestic films to get high marks in Douban. This part of the audience is deeply influenced by western films to a great extent, and it is easy to be biased against some objectively excellent films. On the other hand, in recent ten or twenty years, the entertainment market in China has indeed shown the market orientation of commercialization first, especially after the producer-centered system occupies the leading position in the industrial chain, it is easy to lead to poor film market quality, poor reputation and generally low douban score.

The first series of Ghost Story, the most classic Hong Kong-made horror love movie starring Joey Wong and Leslie Cheung, can score 8.6 points among young people. First of all, the most important level is emotional factors. Many people grew up watching Joey Wong's version of Nie Xiaogan. Once such an established image is formed, it is actually difficult to shake it by reshaping the image of other versions.

The second reason is the film itself. The first film Ghost Story was shot in 1987, which was the most brilliant and golden period of Hong Kong film development. The director is Cheng Xiaodong, the producer is Tsui Hark, the soundtrack is David Henry Hwang, and the starring roles are newly popular Joey Wong and Leslie Cheung. It can be said that not only then, but now it is the best, best and top team that Hong Kong entertainment circle can produce. In the streamlined Hong Kong film industry chain, the best team can shoot it with a little effort.
