Now looking back on the history of the decline of Hong Kong films, I still think it's quite remarkable!

Hong Kong films mainly rely on stars, and there are deficiencies in many aspects, or they have not developed into a mature and complete industrial chain.

The opponent is Hollywood in the 90s.

Take a look at the films made by the demons in the 90s.

"Alien ET", "Jurassic Park", "Terminator"...

A simple example: I have always thought that one of the benchmarks of sci-fi commercial blockbusters, "The End of the World/Peerless Tribulation", has only 7.8 points on Douban, and the almost perfect action commercial blockbuster, "Brave Island" has only 8.6 points...

At that time, it was not only about money, but about technology, creativity, ideals, acting skills, and miracles!

It's far from what is now only money, and then relies on a bunch of bad movies to maintain the scene!

There is a point of view: the post-Cold War period was an explosion of liberalism after decades of suppressed idealism, and countless brilliant achievements emerged in all walks of life!

It's a pity that Hong Kong didn't catch up...

Then, from 1998 to 2000, for three whole years, no Hong Kong film could break into the top ten in Hong Kong film history.

On the one hand, it may be that the financial crisis broke out in Hong Kong in 1997, and on the other hand, the confidence and morale of Hong Kong films are also low.

The worst thing during this period was 1999, which was once one of the centers of Asian cinema, in Hong Kong, and even the Japanese movie "Midnight Bell" couldn't beat it, which was unbelievable...

I still have to admire Hong Kong filmmakers, in the face of a storm, Hong Kong filmmakers have made high-quality films such as "Shaolin Football", "Kung Fu" and "Infernal Affairs", which launched the impact of Hong Kong filmmakers on the future of the Hong Kong film industry.

In fact, Hong Kong is not without the heart to rise up, but the locals are not optimistic.

Xu Ke made a 3D supernatural animated film "Xiao Qian", and also invited the production team of Ghibli to take the lead. As a result, because the budget is really insufficient, the 3D animation effect is not satisfactory, and the reputation is not particularly good...

As a result, Ghibli found inspiration in "Xiao Qian", and turned around to make "Spirited Away"...

Who is this horse to reason with?

To put it bluntly, the film industry doesn't care who acts, everyone is a screw, and the assembly line produces movies, this model is good and bad, and if you watch too much, you will vomit...

According to Shen Xudong's summary: Hong Kong movies still eat talent dividends, and if there is no talent, the movie will be gone!

……

When he told Zhong Lifang his summary, the latter didn't agree very much: "You Dazhi, the director of "New World", is not a talent, he was not famous before..."

"So, it's important to make..."

Zhong Lifang shook her head: "I think it's because of the publicity..."New World", we spent 2 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong to promote..."

"Only 2 million?"

"How big is Hong Kong?"

Shen Xudong pondered for a moment and nodded: "It's really not big, it is estimated that the advertisement of buying a wireless station is almost the same..."

Liang Fengying on the side interjected: "The main thing is that the movie is good, and the media will follow up and report..."

"It's a pity that the sequel to "Zhao Zilong"..."

"It's okay, let's continue to prepare... The director is looking for a newcomer, and I have already negotiated with him the filming requirements..."

"Novice director?"

"Can a newbie be in charge of such a big project?"

Shen Xudong asked rhetorically: "Art, props, photography, actors, action directors... We've got everything in place, we're just responsible for holding the camera, this thing, it's just a director... Why can't he? ”

“… Do you want to find an experienced producer? ”

Shen Xudong glanced at Liang Fengying, and then said, "Sister Liang, you go to be the producer!" ”

"Me?"

"You can't?"

Back then, "Spy Maze" asked Liang Fengying to do the planning, and later began to be a producer, and most of Lin Chaoxian's works were producers and producers for her... Of course it is!

"Okay, I'll try!"

Shen Xudong clapped his hands: "Then it's no problem..."

No, why is it okay?

Zhong Lifang immediately asked: "What should Andy Lau do?" ”

"Let him finish filming "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", and then shoot the sequel to "Zhao Zilong"..."

"Ahh Will that affect the series? ”

"It's okay, there are so many Wong Fei Hung movies, and the only ones that make money are the ones starring Li Lian!"

“… That's right. ”

Shen Xudong continued: "In addition, this time I signed a three-part contract with him, and after the sequel to "Zhao Zilong", "Dingjun Mountain" will be done, and then the battle of Fengming Pass..."

"That's... How much is paid? ”

"Bargain as much as possible, 30 million can negotiate the best!"

"A movie?"

"Three together... If I give him 30 million in one film, will I still shoot a fart? ”

……

Andy Lau is actually very embarrassed...

He's a delicate guy and he's very good at being a man!

And...'luck' is good...

Then, "Today's Statement" directly broke the news of a thing: 'Some people organize charity performances in the name of charity, organize many celebrities to do activities, and take the opportunity to make money, and later, for what reason, these people were investigated and dealt with by the relevant departments... The bill was announced, and only Andy Lau and Sichuan Opera master Peng Denghuai confiscated the money, not only confiscated the money, but even paid for the round-trip air tickets and hotel accommodation.

"The Same Song" also stopped for a while...

It's rare to invite real superstars!

It doesn't matter, the money of the local public relations program team is enough, and there is no need to invite any big stars...

Pulling it back, Andy Lau's incident is so appropriate that even if there is Yang Lijuan's matter, public opinion only calls for 'rational star chasing'...

Actually, if you think about it, Yang Lijuan is a brain-dead powder, what is the difference between it and the brain-dead powder that the traffic pours milk?

So, having a good name really solves a lot of things!

He has been in the circle for so many years, and he can judge the quality of the script, "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" obviously has nothing to do with "Three Kingdoms", it is just a movie dressed in the coat of "Zhao Zilong"...

He also knows that Li Rengang and Golden Harvest fell out, if he takes "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", it means... Break with Golden Harvest...

He wanted to refuse, but unfortunately, the three major producers were his benefactors!

After all consideration, he decided to join "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading the Armor" - after all, his roots are in Hong Kong.

After Shen Xudong acquired Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest is not a Hong Kong company...

The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake...

I just didn't think that this was not only a strong dragon, but also a Tyrannosaurus rex - "New World" was released for two weeks and won nearly 30 million local box office...

Just what he knows, Golden Harvest has three movies released this year: "Lao Qian", "Hurricane Rescue 2", and "The Legend of the Wicked"...

And the negotiated "Tuner" was directly replaced!

And also... Golden Harvest Company announced the new movie "Cao Cao"...

What does that mean?

Self-explanatory!

How can a relationship be repaired?
