In that era twenty years ago, various film production techniques and computer special effects techniques were not as advanced as they are now, and the shooting equipment is far inferior to this time. However, the movies shot in that era were of high output, high quality, and good content. Whether it was a movie, a TV series, or even a variety show, they were of world-class standards. Every time when reviewing old movies, many audiences exclaimed that the works of that era are impossible to surpass now and in the future.
Today's Hong Kong film scene has not seen any new outstanding new actors and directors for a long time. In the current Hong Kong director circle, those directors in the 1990s supported half of Hong Kong movies, and few new directors are particularly brilliant. There are no international superstars such as Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, and Stephen Chow, and there are no signs of them.
"No successor" is the fundamental reason why the Hong Kong film and television industry has not improved so far. In this era when commercial films are bigger than art films, in this era of utilitarian radicalism, and in this era where box office is dominated, is it true that it has not been in the past ten years? The excellent work of grinding a sword is full of money, money, and money.
Why the current Hong Kong movies cannot surpass before, I think there is one reason: Attitude
Attitude is the only thing I can think of. Now that technology has developed to this point, no resources are unavailable. Omnipotent, but why are there no more works like those before?
compares the current actors with those actors in the 1990s and I have to say the most obvious point, attitude issues, those actors in the 1990s really regarded themselves as actors, and actors were just their profession. They go out on the bus, squeeze the subway, walk on the street without masks, no sunglasses, no security guards, no assistants with big bags and small bags. They greet everyone enthusiastically, talk about homework, and talk to everyone in ordinary ways. Together.
Nowadays, most of the actors are Internet celebrities, opening restaurants, opening online shops, selling milk tea, hot pot restaurants, and being an actor, when focusing on these, how can you think about being an actor? An excellent actor must go through their own training, continuous accumulation, not exaggerated, not eager for quick success. Must have the spirit of sharpening a sword for ten years. In an era of "entertainment first, box office first", please keep your original intentions.
