Compared with the same period last year, the Hong Kong domestic box office this year has been even more sluggish, with the total box office falling by nearly a third, and the number of moviegoers returning to the level of 1982. Looking at a book ? ???· 1. K?A?N?S book H?U·COM

Even if Kang Jianfei came forward to mediate, Taiwanese film companies have not repeatedly asked the Taiwan authorities to fully release copies of American films, but they still can't stop the twilight of Hong Kong films. In the final analysis, the problem is that the Hong Kong film industry system is chaotic, and Hong Kong films are showing a disorderly state of development.

At the beginning of this year, people of insight in the Hong Kong film industry once again jointly signed a letter requesting the Hong Kong government to set up a film bureau to regulate the production and distribution of Hong Kong films. Then the Hong Kong government was so busy making trouble with the Chinese government that it didn't pay attention to such trivial matters.

It's ridiculous to say, the dignified "Oriental Hollywood", Hong Kong films are sold all over the world, and Hong Kong doesn't even have a film bureau.

In this year's Hong Kong film summer file, the smoke of war can no longer be seen. The enemies of major studios and cinemas are not their competitors, but their dwindling audiences.

The most eye-catching is the Media Asia Film Company established by Lin Jianyue and Johnson. As soon as the opening work "I Have a Date with Spring" was released, it attracted crazy praise from critics and audiences, and the box office of the film also continued to rise.

"I Have a Date with Spring" did not invite stars, and the actors were all newcomers who graduated from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. The main reason for the good results is that it was already famous in Hong Kong before it was released.

It is a stage play in its own right, telling a story from the 60s. Two years ago, he performed at the Hong Kong City Hall in Central, which immediately became popular in Hong Kong, and now Media Asia invited Gao Zhisen to be the director and turned this stage play into a movie, and invited the original cast to star, which can naturally attract countless audiences into the cinema.

After "I Have a Date with Spring" was released in Yonggao Cinema, the box office was second only to "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" starring Zhang Guorong and Yuan Yongyi, and temporarily ranked second at the summer box office.

By the way, Luo Jiecheng's Yonggao Cinema Line has lost more than 100 million in total in the three years since its establishment. In June of this year, Luo Jiecheng sold Yonggao Cinema Line to a car dealer owner and successfully found a pick-up man.

As for the movie "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", produced by Huang Baiming's Xincheng Pictures, it won the first place in the first round of this year's summer file, with a local box office of more than 29 million.

The film released at the same time also includes "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" directed by Yuan Kui and starring Li Lianjie, Zhong Liti, and Zheng Zeshi.

The producer of this movie is nominally Golden Harvest, but the production team is all Li Lianjie's Zhengdong Film Company.

The actor contract signed by Li Lianjie and Kang Jianfei has long expired, and two years ago, he accepted the investment of Taiwan's Yang Dengkui and established Zhengdong Film Company, which continuously produced blockbuster movies such as "Fang Shiyu" and "Who Fights".

It's a pity that since last year, Taiwanese filmmakers have reduced their investment in Hong Kong films, and Li Lianjie can't get shooting funds at all. He was embarrassed to go back and beg Kang Jianfei, so he simply accepted the olive branch thrown by Golden Harvest and filmed "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" for Golden Harvest.

As early as when the filming of "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" started, the senior management of Oriental Entertainment Agency had already regarded Li Lianjie as a traitor, you can help Taiwanese filmmakers make films, but it is unforgivable to make films for Golden Harvest.

Whether it is Li Lianjie or Zou Wenhuai of Golden Harvest, they all have extremely high expectations for "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard". However, the results after the release were shocking. Although the reputation of this film is very good, the box office is only half of "I Have a Date with Spring", only 11 million.

And Oriental DreamWorks' "Urban Love" is a bit fluttering, directed by Liu Zhenwei, starring Li Ming, Wu Mengda, and Wu Qianlian. Although it is said to be a low-budget urban romance film, the box office of 9.9 million is still a bit excessive, ranking last among the works of several major film companies.

Even "Heaven and Earth" produced by Liu Dehua's Tianmu Company has a box office more than 1 million higher than "Urban Love".

This is the situation of the first round of films in this year's summer file, among the major film companies in Hong Kong, Huang Baiming's Xincheng Pictures is the first, Lin Jianyue's Media Asia Film is second, Zou Wenhuai's Golden Harvest is third, and Kang Jianfei's Oriental DreamWorks is at the bottom.

In such a situation, some media hostile to Kang Jianfei have written about it, which is the worst achievement of Oriental DreamWorks in an important period since its establishment more than ten years ago.

There are also pessimistic industry insiders who believe that Hong Kong films are completely hopeless. Even the movies of Oriental DreamWorks are dying on the streets, which is the most direct manifestation of the decline of Hong Kong films, and this year's film summer file is really a bit deserted.

At this time (the end of July and the beginning of August), the second round of films in the summer file began to be released one after another, with four main works

First, "The Tiger of Wan Chai, Drunk and Dreaming of Death".

This is the last film invested by Roger Cheng of Yonggao Company, and the reality is Chen Yaoxing, the tiger of Wan Chai, one of the five tigers of New Ngee An. Chen Yaoxing was killed at the end of last year, and Mei Yanfang was involved, some people said that Xiang Huaqiang was behind it, and some people said that it was related to Kang Jianfei, anyway, it was a big trouble.

Roger admitted that he made this movie just to make money from the heat, and he was still friends with Chen Yaoxing before.

Second, "The Overlord of Western Chu".

The film is a three-place co-production funded by a Taiwanese film company, directed and produced by a Hong Kong person, and shot in mainland China. The starring lineup is still very strong, Gong Li, Zhang Fengyi, Guan Zhilin and Lu Liangwei, taking into account the mainland and Hong Kong markets.

Third, "Splendid Future".

Produced by Xiang Huaqiang's Yongsheng Film Company. Director Chen Jiashang, starring Zhang Guorong, Leung Jiahui, Guan Zhilin, a small-budget urban comedy romance, the shooting budget is basically spent on the three leading actors.

Fourth, "Changing Face"!

The background of this movie is a little cool.

Jointly produced by Oriental DreamWorks, Oriental Film Company (USA) and Paramount Pictures, directed by Wu Yusen, written by Kang Jianfei, starring Zhou Yunfa, Nicolas Cage, Yangtze Qiong, Carina Chow, and Shinobu Nakayama (RB cute girl).

This is a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, with weird face-changing technology, the identity swap of the positive and negative characters, as well as an unconventional plot, and hot fight scenes. To have depth, to have a picture, to have a plot, whether it is an ordinary audience or a professional film critic, they can't find its shortcomings.

Most of the characters' dialogues in "Changing Faces" are in English, and only a few are in Cantonese. But this could not resist the public's enthusiasm for watching the movie at all, and the box office results broke the 10 million mark in the first week.

The films released at the same time, the box office performance of "The Tiger of Wan Chai" in the first week was only 3.8 million, the box office of "The Overlord of Western Chu" was 4.61 million, and the box office of "Splendid Future" was 5.3 million, which was completely crushed by Wu Yusen's "Changing Face".

The media that had just sung about Oriental DreamWorks had a lot of pen turns, and they praised Kang Jianfei again.

And what is Kang Jianfei doing?

He is busy opening an Internet café, this thing is the first in the world, and many details need Kang Jianfei's personal guidance.
