Chapter 679
Domestic filmmakers and movie lovers first began to get in touch with movies, and most of them were influenced by Hong Kong films, and Song Zheng naturally did the same, he especially liked Hong Kong movies, first in the video hall, and later in the cinema, on the Internet.
's favorite police film is "Disc Blood Heroes", although many people remember Fa Ge's "The True Colors of Heroes", but Song Zheng feels that Wu Yusen's most representative violent aesthetics is "Disc Blood Heroes".
"The True Color of Heroes" just hasn't seen such a movie before, and other movies like "Hot Hand Detective", "Across the Seas", "Jianghu Dragon and Tiger Fight" are also good, Wu Yusen's violent aesthetics use a lot of slow motion, coupled with exciting background music, making the whole scene magnificent.
And the storyline in it, showing brotherhood, the feelings of friendship and righteousness of friends, is also very nostalgic for the people of that era, and later there are a few like "Infernal Affairs", "Gunfire", etc., which are also okay, but it may be a personal hobby, I always feel worse than the previous ones, no matter from the plot to the special effects, it does not reflect the feeling of being more exciting.
My favorite comedy is Huang Baiming's "Happy Ghost" series, especially Zhang Manyu's "Happy Ghost Crashing into Ghost", which is full of jokes and is very educational.
The "Five Lucky Stars" series is also good, "Happy Double Cannon", "Brave Double Guns", etc. are good, many people like Zhou Xingchi's comedy, maybe I personally like language humor and plot humor, and I don't like physical humor very much, so I feel average about Zhou Xingxing's comedy, but Zhou Xingxing's later "Shaolin Football" and "Kung Fu" belong to a different feeling.
There is also a series of Wu Mengda, Hao Shaowen and Shi Xiaolong, which is definitely the pinnacle of Xiangjiang comedy movies, especially Wu Mengda and Hao Shaowen's "Crayon Little Life" , but it is the most funny comedy, Song Zheng laughs until his mouth hurts every time he watches it, for example, there are some plots in it, Uncle Da and Xiaowen were chased by the police, in an alley, Xiaowen hid in another alley and knocked down the police with his legs, Uncle Da also learned from him and wanted to knock the police down, who knew that at this time the police were chasing them on bicycles, and they directly pressed Uncle Da from his legs.
There is also the money earned by Uncle Da and Xiaowen from cleaning the car, when they wanted to divide the money, Uncle Da bullied Xiaowen is child, so he gave Xiaowen a piece of coin, and he was a hundred bills, and said in his mouth: You and I have one, you and I have one, and there is still a coin left, he put the coin in Xiaowen's hand and held it, and then scissors, rock, and paper.
Movies with plots like this have never been seen since 2000, and the rest are all.
Black.Society.Huigu.Confusion.Zai film, my favorite is of course the most authentic Gu.Confusion.Zai series's five "People in the Jianghu", "Dragon Crosses the River", "One Hand Covers the Sky", "Invincible" and "The Winner is King", and later there was a "Jianghu Storm" can also be regarded as the end of the Gu.Confuse Zai series, but it is Cantonese, Hokkien, Japanese and Chinese mixed together, which sounds a little unpleasant.
Other miscellaneous "The Story of the Pheasant", "The Thirteen Sisters of Temple Street", "Hong Xing Da Fei Ge", "Kowloon Ice House" and so on are also very good.
The martial arts film is the "Huang Feihong Series" directed by Xu Laowei, Xu Laowei and Wu Yusen's styles are different, Wu Yusen likes to use a lot of slow motion, plus the advancement of music, so that the film is majestic and exciting.
And Xu Laowei likes speed, and the movements of his movies are very sharp, and the feeling of flying is not an ordinary excitement, and each one can be called a peerless classic.
There is no need to repeat ghost films, the recognized Lin Zhengying zombie series can be regarded as a precedent for creating a theme of Hong Kong films.
Movies like this are almost invisible now, and the reason for this is the gradual decline of Hong Kong films.
After about 30 years of glory from the 60s to the 80s of the last century, Hong Kong films have been in decline since the 90s.
The reason why Xiangjiang films can be brilliant is first of all thanks to the good external environment, what was the scene of Xiangjiang in the 60s, the economy began to take off, commerce and trade gradually prospered, the population increased rapidly, the culture became increasingly diverse, and the regional influence rose rapidly.
For a time, Xiangjiang became the world's second largest film producer after Hollywood, and established its own unique influence in East and Southeast Asian countries.
But after the glory, soon the problem came out, after 30 years of swords, swords and ghosts, the howling Xiangjiang movies finally found that the audience began not to buy it, and the appeal of the movie began to decline sharply, whether in Xiangjiang or overseas.
In the glorious 30 years, Xiangjiang Films has mainly been dominated by martial arts films, kung fu films, and ghost films, which are on the one hand a direct means for the production company to pursue commercial benefits, and on the other hand, it also reflects that as a country with a population of only 6 million and an entity size of only a quarter of the treasure island, One-twentieth of Japan, at best, can only compete with Singapore, and for the seaside cities that have only developed in the modern century, they lack profound cultural accumulation, and then lack the imagination and material space for film production, which makes it difficult for Xiangjiang films to produce magnificent masterpieces.
In addition, Hong Kong films in the sixties and seventies had a great success in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and after entering the 90s, they will directly face three strong rivals: TV dramas, Western blockbusters, and indigenous heroes.
Because the times have progressed and the heroes have risen.
First of all, in the world, the popularity of television and the rise of TV dramas have stripped away a large number of film markets, and 96 years later, Korean TV dramas sweeping Asia is a typical performance.
On the other hand, after the 90s, Hollywood suddenly realized that it was attacking the global market, so it came decisively, and it was uncontrollable, until now, the box office record of Xiangjiang movies is still created by "Titanic", which can be said to be a shame.
In this way, it took about ten years for Western blockbusters led by Hollywood to completely knock down Hong Kong films, and in the years since the beginning of the new century, among the top ten box office of Hong Kong films every year, local films generally do not exceed imported films.
Xiangjiang filmmakers must catch up, but due to some reasons, they can't catch up, but the gap is getting bigger and bigger, one of which is to blindly catch up, regardless of the actual conditions, so why is it blind?
This goes back to the internal cause, and it is difficult to stand up straight without deep internal strength.
Then talk about the indigenous heroes, mainly because of the rapid development of the film industry in small Southeast Asian countries dominated by Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, in the domestic market of these countries, a situation has been formed in which local films and Hollywood blockbusters compete for hegemony, and Hong Kong films are facing a double attack, and defeat is a foregone conclusion.
So, with the change of external conditions, the golden age of Xiangjiang films is gone, but if the Xiangjiang film industry fights hard at this moment, maybe the situation will be better than now, but it is a pity.
Xiangjiang Film itself is first facing two changes, the first is the loss of talent, several big names led by Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Zhou Runfa have all gone to Hollywood, and there have been almost no important newcomers in the past ten years, and it is an indisputable fact that there is no success.
The second is that the censorship system has been strengthened, which is the most direct and deadly blow to Hong Kong films that pursue freedom.
Then there is the disconnection of funds, and the suspension of production by Shaw Brothers is the most symbolic, without financial support, there is naturally no way to talk about high-quality movies.
Compared with the surrounding South Korea, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and even the mainland, Xiangjiang Films has been going downhill in recent years, and Xiangjiang, which was already lacking in cultural accumulation, has lost its advantages in terms of capital and regional influence, and the decline of the entire port area, including the film industry, is inevitable.
In addition, there is the most critical point, what Song Zheng wants to say to Xu Zheng is that the internal friction is serious, among the filmmakers in Xiangjiang, there are indeed some inspirational people who are motivated to do a good job in the film industry, but most people only have interests in their eyes.
The most obvious point of performance is that after the appearance of a theme movie, countless people flock to it, all kinds of copycats, plagiarism, until the appeal of the theme is exhausted, and then they go to find new themes.
These people are just like locusts, zombie series, old boy series, gambling series, all of them have been stinky like this, they lack cultural heritage, and they are so overconsumed, and when there is nothing to consume, decline is inevitable.
Therefore, the fundamental reasons for the decline of the film industry are the expansion of Hollywood, the rise of Korean dramas, Japanese dramas, and Southeast Asian films.
Although there is not much comparison between a single Xu Zheng and the once glorious Hong Kong films, the reason is the same, the embarrassment series is Xu Zheng's first creation, after the accumulation of "People in Embarrassment", to the glory of "Thai Embarrassment", it is conceivable that the vitality of this theme is still very tenacious, but even if it is tenacious, it can't afford such excessive consumption, especially the "Hong Kong Embarrassment" that Xu Zheng is taking out now , no matter how you look at it, it can't be called high-quality, don't look at the box office after the release in the previous life, the box office is not bad, but the reputation is not too bad.
Song Zheng didn't want Xu Zheng to put up the banner that he had finally put up, but because he was eager for success and profit, he would finally be ruined by himself.
