The news that Wang Qinian was going to direct "Sea Tiger" was released, and the industry was shaken. Many people in the industry www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion have begun to set their sights on Hong Kong Man, a treasure that has not yet been fully developed.

For example, Xu Shanshan, the owner of Shanshan Entertainment Company, sent someone to search for this set of comics and read the "Sea Tiger" series of comics all night.

"It's about the same genre as Spider-Man!" Xu Shanshan pondered for a moment, "When "Sea Tiger" is officially filmed, it should be released next year!" Use "Spider-Man" to deal with it, I guess it won't work! ”

There is an upper limit on the number of imported films at the box office in the Chinese film market every year, and in principle, there are only 20 quotas. The vast majority of them are occupied by Hollywood, and of course, in order to reduce the number of Hollywood films, the domestic film industry sometimes makes up a little European film. For most European films, the introduction is to hit the streets.

It is precisely for this reason that every imported film that has passed the review is very cherished by the quota. If anyone generously gives up their quota, competitors will often die of laughter.

Moreover, the quota for imported films, to a large extent, is an exchange of interests. For example, some European films are imported into the Chinese market, often for political purposes, and for cultural exchanges with a certain country, they may import several films from each other.

There are many film companies in Hollywood, and many places for imported films are games between companies.

For example, Warner, Columbia and other companies have long begun to pay attention to the Chinese market, and have adopted the Chinese market to invest in filmmaking, or cooperate in technology, in exchange for the quota of film import and share of the account.

Later, with the growth of the Chinese market, Hollywood studios attached great importance to the Chinese market. A large number of joint ventures are produced in exchange for imported films. This is also the main reason why Chinese elements are flooding Hollywood films, and Chinese films are becoming more and more Hollywood.

Essentially, Columbia's Spider-Man was released in the Chinese market. It was not obtained for free, but in exchange for other cooperative benefits. According to the plan, "Spider-Man" was scheduled to be released in 2002. If the plan is adapted, maybe this movie will be scheduled to be released next year. At that time, on the one hand, the film may be outdated, and on the other hand, 3 may not be able to successfully get the 2003 import quota.

It is for this reason that "Spider-Man" has not many options, and can only choose to be released in 2002.

"Mr. Xu, why don't we apply and buy the copyright adaptation of Hong Kong's popular comics!" A company employee advised, "I think 'The Legend of the Black Panther' is very good!" ”

"The Black Panther?" Xu Shanshan was puzzled.

"The style is very close to "Sea Tiger", and this comic is a popular work of Ma Rongcheng's Tianxia Company. In the process of serialization, a lot of chief writers have been invited, and Wen Riliang, the editor-in-chief of "Sea Tiger", has also served as the chief writer of "The Biography of Black Panther"! The employee explained, "In "Sea Tiger", there are many shadows of "Black Panther"! ”

The comic "The Legend of the Black Panther" is also very suitable for adapting the movie. Originally, Liu Weiqiang and Ekin Cheng cooperated in the adaptation of Hong Kong comic movies such as "Crazy Boy", "Storm and Storm Dominates the World", "Chinese Heroes" and so on. plans to shoot "The Legend of the Black Panther". But later, due to various factors, the manga was not adapted.

Thenceforth. Because Ekin Cheng went to shoot the popular film "Tokyo Raiders" halfway, he did not choose to shoot "The Legend of Black Panther" with Liu Weiqiang. Thus, "Black Panther" ended without a problem.

Of course, after Liu Weiqiang broke up with Ekin Cheng, he also proved with "Infernal Affairs" that he was still strong without cooperating with Ekin Cheng.

The two have been at odds over this ever since. Liu Weiqiang felt that he had made Ekin Cheng popular single-handedly, but Ekin Cheng was not righteous, and after he became popular, he was too busy to cooperate with him.

Ekin Cheng retorted, saying that Liu Weiqiang was also very busy with his schedule. When he was free to cooperate, Liu Weiqiang was not available.

The current Ekin Cheng is indeed red and purple, since the filming of "Crazy Boy", he is almost a god blocking and killing God at the box office, and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha. There is a great posture of "not knowing Chen Haonan (Ekin Cheng), even if he is a hero, it is in vain". Aaron Kwok, Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat and other superstars have fallen into a trough, and their box office appeal may not be comparable to that of Ekin Cheng. Many of Jackie Chan's films take overseas routes, and the Hong Kong box office is getting lower and lower. At the box office, only Stephen Chow stepped on it.

And Ekin Cheng is so popular, it was Liu Weiqiang who brought it out!

Liu Weiqiang is indeed very supportive, and he made Ekin Cheng, who made a movie for the first time, a first-line movie star. Later, "Infernal Affairs" made Mak Zhaohui popular. Lau Wai-keung, Mak Siu-fai, and Zhuang Man-keung, the "Infernal Affairs" combination, was once called the "Hong Kong Film Rescue Iron Triangle".

Of course, relying on "Infernal Affairs" to save the market is obviously too exaggerated. Even in the 21st century, Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, Tsui Hark, Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat and others are still very active, and the box office of movies is also very high. It's just that because of Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat and others, the market is global. And the "Infernal Affairs" series still adheres to the traditional Hong Kong film market, so it is exaggerated to describe it as a work to save the market. This bailout mainly refers to pulling Hong Kong local audiences back into the cinema to watch Hong Kong films.

Under the impact of Hollywood blockbusters, Hong Kong films have re-revealed a glimmer of hope. Of course, this illusion of hope is actually accelerated after the advent of "Infernal Affairs", but the decline of Hong Kong films has accelerated.

In a sense, "Infernal Affairs" came out, just like Jin Yong wrote more than a dozen martial arts novels, and the last "Deer and Ding Ji" was anti-martial arts, which was praised by many people as a masterpiece. But after the completion of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" and Jin Yong's pen, it means that martial arts novels have entered the era of the end of the law, and readers will gradually get tired of those martial arts novels with limited creativity.

"Infernal Affairs" came out, and the Hong Kong police and bandit-themed film was a hit. If I go back and watch a lot of cop movies that fill the screen, most of them can't stand it.

In essence, the advent of "Infernal Affairs" is not a salvation work, but a sign of the complete decline of Hong Kong films.

After all, the creativity has been filmed by the ancestors, and the audience is tired of watching it! It's actually very difficult to come up with ideas that the audience can accept!

Shoot old themes, the road is getting narrower and narrower!

Innovation, the stakes are huge!

If you want to learn Hollywood, Hong Kong films do not have the general box office fertile soil in North America, and they can make a lot of big deals!

But in fact, there are still many new ways out for Hong Kong films, which have been ignored by many people!

The Hong Kong comic adaptation of the movie, in fact, is a very successful way!

Since the 90s, Hong Kong comics have adapted a lot of movies, all of which have achieved good box office and influence.

However, later in the Hong Kong film industry, many people lost confidence and patience, and in the end, the road of adapting movies from Hong Kong comics did not go far.

Actually, this road is really promising!

Hollywood was supposed to be in the late '90s, ostensibly booming, but in reality, there was a lack of creativity. This point can be compensated for by more than just the advancement of special effects technology. However, Hollywood has set its sights on games, comics, fantasy novels, and so on. After a large number of games, comics, and novels have been adapted, they have injected a lot of new creativity and vitality into Hollywood, making Hollywood movies remain attractive.

In Wang Qinian's influence, the filmization of Hong Kong comics has gradually become a new trend. Gradually, some people regard the Hong Kong comic film adaptation as a new gold mine, and some people regard it as a lifesaver. (Want to know more exciting news about "Reborn Entertainment Ghost"?)
