The reasons for the downturn in the box office of Hong Kong films are extremely complex, and the vicious circle cannot be solved??? ?? ?? To see? Books Book? ·1 K A?N SHU COM

Let's not talk about external factors such as Taiwanese capital and the Taiwan market, and the rampant piracy is also a very important reason. Nowadays, VCD has long been popular, and the production cost of pirated movies is outrageously low, not only in the streets of Hong Kong, but also in the coastal areas of the mainland.

In addition to big directors, big stars, big productions, and ordinary small films, Hong Kong citizens have little interest in going to the cinema.

Production reduction, this is the strategy of Oriental Dreamworks.

In 1992, the company produced a staggering 31 films. In 1996, DreamWorks only planned to make 16 films, with no more than 2 up and down errors.

Kang Jianfei gave a death order, the creative process must be strictly controlled, everything is based on the quality of the film, and shoddy films will never have a chance to be on the big screen.

At the same time, the Oriental Cinema Company is also reducing its scale, and there are only 12 cinemas left under its umbrella, all of which are in relatively prime locations. As for the corners of the area, it will be directly thrown to other theaters for screening, or split the account, or sold out, anyway, it will be considered as appropriate.

Contrary to the production reduction plan of Oriental Dreamworks, Golden Harvest, which has just been successfully listed, is expanding its production by leaps and bounds.

In another time and space, Golden Harvest only produced 28 films in 1994. In 1995, after going public, it participated in the investment or produced as many as 66 films, and the production more than doubled.

This situation is related to Golden Harvest's development strategy, only by constantly making films and projecting films can shareholders have confidence in Golden Harvest, so that Golden Harvest can make money in the stock market, and then use the money to invest in real estate and other industries.

Golden Harvest in 1995 has changed its taste, it is no longer a pure film company, it is first and foremost a listed company with beautiful scenery.

In Kang Jianfei's opinion, Zou Wenhuai and others have gone crazy. Like their method, when the Hong Kong film market is shrinking, it produces 66 movies a year, which is definitely a fatal suicide.

But is Zou Wenhuai really stupid?

Not necessarily!

First of all, he can rely on the stock market to make money, and then use the money to invest in other industries.

As for the darker speculations, these people are probably desperate for Hong Kong films. plans to get a vote before Hong Kong films die completely, before Hong Kong returns to the embrace of the motherland!

After 97, Golden Harvest will be a rotten company riddled with debt, but its shareholders are definitely rich people, because they are all full.

Alas, the way of the world has changed.

If Hong Kong filmmakers did not have the 97 doomsday mentality of giving up on themselves, and if the British government of Hong Kong could establish a film bureau to regulate the market, Hong Kong films would never have declined so quickly.

Completely putting the blame on the invasion of Hollywood blockbusters, and the shrinking markets in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, is a manifestation of self-deception. You're messing around yourself, and you still complain about others for not giving face?

Kang Jianfei is too lazy to care about other people's bad things, he just wants to run the Oriental Entertainment Group well.

Who said that Hong Kong films would be completely dead after 95 years? Isn't the Galaxy image made with a conscience still very beautiful after 2000? Because people can watch the films they make, they are not fooling around.

Hong Kong's film market is there, imported Hollywood films can sell well, why can't local films?

It's just that Oriental DreamWorks can only take the boutique route in the future, and a large number of layoffs are certain, because it can't afford to support so many people. The overall film production environment is definitely bad, and the reserve film talents will also wither, the only thing Kang Jianfei can do is to keep the seeds and avoid the embarrassing situation of a shortage of film talents.

At the beginning of 1995, Cheng Long was the most beautiful person in the Hong Kong film industry, and the shareholders of Golden Harvest also made a lot of money and held a celebration banquet for "Red Fan District" at Fu Linmen Restaurant.

These are superficial landscapes, just like Hong Kong's economy.

The British are about to say goodbye to Hong Kong, and they reaped a wave in the stock market last year, causing countless Hong Kong shareholders to go bankrupt. In the first half of the year, the Hong Kong stock market rose repeatedly, attracting a wave of investors to enter the market and harvest immediately. Then it fell and rose again, and in countless reincarnations, the Hong Kong stock market was completely bad, and by the second half of the year, there were no fools to invest in stocks again.

So much so that by 1996, the Hong Kong stock market was still sluggish. Seeing that it recovered a little bit in 1997, Soros and other international predators came to make trouble again, which was really a chaotic scene of demons dancing wildly.

1995 was clearly an eventful year.

Shortly after New Year's Day, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck Japan, and the local people were in dire straits.

Zhang Ziqiang, who was imprisoned for robbing a cash truck, will also be released this year, and he will also receive 8 million Hong Kong dollars in compensation from the police, becoming a well-known villain in Hong Kong.

As soon as Cheng Long's "Red Fan Zone" was released, the 327 treasury bond incident broke out on the mainland, and February 23, 1995 was called the darkest day in the history of Chinese securities. There is a futures trader named Chen Wanning, who has just turned 20 years old, and his trading seat lost more than 70 million yuan on this day, and his own 3 million assets were also wiped out.

10 years later, this trader wrote the script "Wulin Gaiden" and gorgeously completed his career transformation.

Let's go back to Hong Kong.

When Cheng Long was holding a celebration banquet, Kang Jianfei was gone. He personally led a team to India, inspected the filming location with Xu Ke, and established a good relationship with the local government and local tyrants by the way.

The paparazzi can't shoot Kang Jianfei's gossip news, they just need to shoot his women. Recently, Guan Zhilin and Li Jiaxin are tearing up again, the reason seems to be that Guan Zhilin's diamond ring is larger, and Li Jiaxin is very unhappy after being reported by the media, so she specially found a foreign jewelry company to order one.

These reports are not surprising, and the citizens of Hong Kong are numb. What's even more exciting news is that the reporter photographed Anita Mui, the queen of the music world, traveling hand in hand with the mainland boy Zhao Wen, and the two looked like a couple intimately.

Although Zhao Wen has also starred in several dramas in the past two years, he can be regarded as a newly rising kung fu student, but there is still a big gap compared with Anita Mui. At first glance, when they heard the news of the two of them, Hong Kong citizens thought it was a fantasy and didn't believe it.

Anita Mui and Zhao Wen were silent about this, and the brokerage company hurriedly held a press conference to clarify, saying that the two of them were just ordinary friends.

The turmoil stopped, and it turned out to be just a misunderstanding.

It wasn't until more than ten years later, when Anita Mui had passed away for a long time, that Zhao Wen told the media about this past. They did fall in love for a whole year, but unfortunately they broke up in the end.

By the time Kang Jianfei returned to Hong Kong again, the Spring Festival had already passed, the list of nominees for the Academy Awards was successfully released, and the Spring Dinner of the Hong Kong Directors Guild was also held as scheduled. Kang Jianfei successfully stepped down as president, and the new president was Erdong.

At the same time, the mainland film "The Wind" was quietly released in Hong Kong, and Kang Jianfei also announced his new film plan.
