Chapter 344: What Is a Myth? That's it!

Hong Kong cinema is a success story in the history of cinema. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the eighties and nineties, this city of about 6 million people has always had one of the largest film kingdoms in the world, producing more films than almost all Western countries, and exporting more films only than the United States. They dominate the East Asian market and crush the film industry in a neighboring part of Taiwan. After the Hong Kong film was released to the West, it even triggered a niche boom, and the scale was unprecedented.

Since the end of the seventies, American films have begun to swallow up the global market, and in some countries, even 90% of the box office. However, during the same period, only a small number of Hollywood films released in Hong Kong were well received, and sometimes less than 30% of the box office was accounted for. Golden Globe blockbusters landing in Hong Kong often end dismally. It wasn't until 1997 that Hollywood films caught up, and their box office revenue slightly exceeded that of Hong Kong films.

How did the Land of Bullets make the movie so good?

The factors may be related to history and culture, but the more important reason lies in the film itself.

Hong Kong films can meet the needs of the audience and are constantly introduced to the market, not only with fresh taste, but also with vivid and exciting performances. Hong Kong films can be called the world's most vibrant and imaginative popular films since the 70s, and they have left a deep imprint on global audiences, especially Chinese audiences.

That's right, a whole generation of Chinese grew up watching Hong Kong films!

Hong Kong films have indelible memories for a generation of Chinese born around 80 years or earlier. When an old movie appears on a certain TV station, we can point out at a glance the long-lost stars such as Lin Zixiang, Zheng Zeshi, and Dillon, and the series of classic martial arts films, ghost films, police and gangster films, gangster films, and zombie movies in our memory...... Hong Kong films occupy a considerable amount of weight. Hong Kong films assume the catharsis and main entertainment of this generation of adolescence.

Therefore, we will regret the decline of Hong Kong films, be excited by the emergence of "Infernal Affairs", and shout the slogan of returning a movie ticket to Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West".

Hong Kong films have feelings for Gowen's generation that cannot be described in words.

Therefore, when Govern, under the leadership of Huang Zhan, walked into the Shaw Brothers Cinema in Clear Water Bay, he was full of emotion.

Shaw Brothers Cinemas is a Shaw Brothers Dream Factory built by Hong Kong film tycoon Run Shaw in 1957 over a period of seven years.

Located on the waterfront of Clear Water Bay in Hong Kong, this cinema is known as the "Hollywood of the East" and has long been the largest cinema in Asia.

In Hong Kong, a land with more people and less land, Shaw Brothers Cinemas is the only large-scale cinema, how many classic movies and TV series have been filmed and produced here, and how many stars have become famous from here, it is no exaggeration to say that this is the land of Hong Kong film and television.

It is said that Huang Zhan woke up and fled that day, but visited Govin again on the third day, in addition to getting back the vinyl album of "Berlin Voice", the main purpose was to fulfill his promise.

Huang Zhan's first stop as a tour guide was Shaw Studios, which Govin had talked about at the dinner table.

At this time, Shaw had shifted his focus to TVB, and Shaw Brothers films existed in name only, but Shaw Brothers Cinemas was still the largest studio in Hong Kong for various crews to shoot films.

There are 12 independent studios, 6 set streets, more than a dozen houses built on the entire hill for personnel to work and live, and countless streets, city walls, suspension bridges, and fortresses have been built in the front and back mountains. Every day, thousands of people work in front of and behind the scenes on the Shaw Brothers studio.

What Govin saw was such a busy and lively scene, and Huang Zhan was still babbling about Shaw Brothers Studios.

The Shaw Brothers Cinemas in Clear Water Bay was one of the two major studios in Hong Kong at this time, the other being the Axe Hill Road Studio, which was built by Golden Harvest for a short time. Unlike Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers Cinemas has gradually become the main filming venue for TV dramas due to the Shaw Brothers deliberately shrinking film investment in recent years.

The reason why Shaw Brothers Cinemas can attract so many crews to start work here is precisely because Shaw Brothers Cinemas has been under construction for many years, and the studio has a wide range of sets to meet the needs of various crews.

Today's movies and television are different from those in the future, most of them are indoor sets, rather than real scenes. If you go back to the fifties and sixties, the filming of this TV movie is even more interesting. At that time, making movies was very simple, but it was never easy.

The simplicity lies in the fact that the shooting techniques and sets are extremely rough, so rough that we dare not imagine it. I made a movie that year, and most of them were shot indoors, using a hand-drawn drawing board as a set. Interestingly, in those days, if it took a week to make a movie, it would be a big production.

However, it is precisely the lack of various technologies and props that makes it especially difficult to shoot films. However, in such a difficult environment, it is really commendable that Hong Kong was still able to make Cantonese films that are still classic today.

After listening to Huang Zhan's introduction, Ge Wen suddenly had a feeling of long knowledge.

This knowledge is not something that can be learned from books, that is, Huang Zhan, a big man in the film and television industry, can talk about it so vividly.

Entering the administration building of Shaw Studios, Govin looked around at the people who came in and out, trying to see if he could meet a few stars he was familiar with.

Seeing Govin looking around, Huang Zhan waved and nodded to the people he knew, and asked Govin, "Where do you want to go?" There are a lot of crews here! Are there any celebrities you'd like to meet? ”

"Fortnight!" Listening to Huang Zhan's words, Govin replied casually while looking around.

"Double Monday? What is it? Huang Zhan was stunned.

Oops, I accidentally said the combined nickname of Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan in the future!

It is said that since the death of Bruce Lee in the 70s, no superstar has been able to dominate the box office rankings in a row, until the second half of the 80s, represented by Jackie Chan's police story and Chow Yun-fat's **** hero, Hong Kong films have really won a glorious commercial era, and in the 90s, it was Stephen Chow's nonsense that swept thousands of troops, creating a box office iron triangle of "two weeks and one percent" in Hong Kong film history.

And now although Jackie Chan has become famous, he is still struggling to transform; Although Chow Yun-fat is the master of TVB, he is a box office poison; Stephen Chow is even more forced to be the host of "430 Shuttle" on TVB.

"I mean Chow Yun-fat and Jackie Chan." Govin hurriedly interrupted.

"Chow Yun-fat? Well, he should be in the studio, I heard that this year's TVB's Taiwanese drama "Yang Jiajiang" has his role. Huang Zhan touched his chin and muttered, "Let's go, I'll take you to find out which studio he recorded in." ”

As for Jackie Chan that Govan also mentioned, Huang Zhan ignored it.

Also, he once drenched Jackie Chan's pant leg with urine in front of everyone, and he was almost beaten, how could he take the initiative to get in front of the enemy.

Huang Zhan took Ge Wen to the office on the fourth floor where the Statistics Office hung to get the crew schedule of "Yang Jiajiang", and went straight to the No. 7 large studio.

Curiously, Govin took the planner from Huang Zhan's hand and looked at it, and then he was dumbfounded.

What did he see?!

Govin stopped in disbelief.

How can there be a feeling that he went to the cinema to watch "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" and count the stars?!

Star-studded!

Absolute star-studded!

These people would be acting together in a TV series with only five episodes?!

Is this the TV series with the largest lineup, the most stars, and the most big-name appeal in the history of TV dramas?

Why is there only five episodes of this "Yang Jiajiang"? There is no heavenly reason!

How come I have never heard of this TV series on the Internet?

Damn, Shaw Brothers TVB is too extravagant!
