Taiwan used to be an important hinterland for Hong Kong films. In the glorious 1980s and 1990s, the main box office of Hong Kong films came from Taiwan.
At that time, due to the decline of local movies in Taiwan, coupled with restrictions on mainland movies, the annual Golden Horse Awards almost became the annual commendation meeting for Hong Kong films. Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung , the two Hong Kong people, even more He is the actor who has won the most Golden Horse movie queens.
Later, with the decline of Hong Kong films, Taiwanese local films gradually picked up, and mainland films were getting better and better. In recent years, the Golden Horse Awards have almost formed a situation of three males, and every award ceremony is very exciting.
However, starting from the 56th Golden Horse Awards last year, the situation has gradually become delicate. The mainland chose to hold the Golden Rooster Award on the same day, so last year there were no mainland filmmakers to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, and some of them had already signed up for the Golden Horse Awards. The award-winning Hong Kong film also chose to withdraw from the Golden Horse Award and switch to the embrace of the Golden Rooster.
For example, " Anti-Drug 2", "Apostle Walker 2", and "When the Wind Is Back", which has not been released so far, the film companies have issued announcements that they will not participate in the selection of the Golden Horse Awards.
However, last year, several Hong Kong films that were not released in the Mainland, including "Golden Capital" and "Uncle Uncle" participated in the awards ceremony and also won awards.
This year, the 57th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards announced today the list of shortlisted films. However, we found that there is not even a single Hong Kong film! The Golden Horse Awards, once occupied by Hong Kong films for half of the time, are now almost extinct. Only two Hong Kong stars, , Yang Caini, and Taibao, participated, because they starred in Taiwanese films.
But at present we only see the shortlist of finalists, whether this year will eventually become the Golden Horse Award for Hong Kong Films, the organizing committee has not yet given a definite answer. But what is certain is that even if there are Hong Kong films, they will never be mainstream films.
On the contrary, in the Hundred Flowers Awards in the Mainland this year, half of the 10 films are Hong Kong films (including co-productions). Let us wait and see.
