The 1980s and the 1990s were the most prosperous period for the Hong Kong film industry. During that period, the Hong Kong films produced were all classics. That era was the most memorable era. I started watching Hong Kong movies when I was very young. Many young people grew up in the company of Hong Kong films in their childhood. The Hong Kong films of that year have also become classics now. Today, it is also the existence of head movies. That era was the best era of Hong Kong movies.
In 1980, Chow Yun-fat was still making TV series, but did not enter the film industry. Stephen Chow has not stepped into the entertainment circle, Jackie Chan has become so popular in the movie circle. That year, Jackie Chan's " Junior Brother " broke the Hong Kong box office record at the time. With a " Shanghai Beach ", Chow Yun-fat has become a star of Hong Kong TV dramas, and it has spread all over the country.
In 1984, Chow Yun-fat's work began to shift from TV dramas to movies. That year, he shot " Waiting for Dawn ", which won the Golden Horse General's Best Actor Award. Jackie Chan reached his peak in the film industry, " fast food truck " and "A plan " were produced one after another. At this time, Zhou Xingchi was just a little actor who hadn't been able to fully exploit his talents.
From 1985 to 1990, Chow Yun-fat's film career quickly went up, " heroes of the true color ", " God of Gamblers " were produced in these five years. When these two films were released in Hong Kong, they immediately caused a sensation in Hong Kong. In those two years, Chow Yun-fat won the annual box office in Hong Kong with these two films.
In the past five years, Jackie Chan's films have continued to be highly productive, high-quality and high-volume. For a time, Hong Kong movie stars are unmatched. In the entire Hong Kong film, only Chow Yun-fat can be an enemy. In the past five years, Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-fat took over almost all of the top five box offices in Hong Kong.
At this time, Stephen Chow, starting from a supernatural extra, has the opportunity to star in movies. With the support and help of Chow Yun-fat and Li Xiuxian, he transformed from a TV drama actor to a movie actor. In these five years, Zhou Xingchi began to slowly emerge.
After 1990, Stephen Chow established his own nonsensical performance style. A " gambling saint " completely established Stephen Chow's influence in the Hong Kong film scene. That year, Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-fat lost to Stephen Chow, and a " gambler " broke the box office record of Hong Kong movies at that time.
The nineties were the most prosperous era in Hong Kong's film industry. During these ten years, the Hong Kong film industry has also begun to decline from prosperity, without the development trend of the year. In 1995, after Chow Yun-fat finished filming " Peace Hotel ", he left Hong Kong to develop in Hollywood. Only Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow are left in the Hong Kong film industry.
From 1995 to 2000, it was a period when Hong Kong films went from prosperous to decline. In those five years, Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow continued to produce high yields. " Red Fan District ", " Dahua Westward Journey: Moonlight Treasure Box ", and " God of Cookery " were all produced in these five years. When " Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box " was released, it did not cause much response in Hong Kong, but this movie has become Stephen Chow's most famous masterpiece. Ten years later, I looked back again, only to understand " Journey to the West ", and then I realized how high Zhou Xingchi's mood was.
In those five years, it was a small peak in the Hong Kong film industry. But after that small peak, the Hong Kong film industry has not shown an upward trend. First-line movie stars such as Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan went to the mainland to develop, and the era of the dominance of Hong Kong movies has slowly gone.
The 1980s and the 1990s were the fastest growing period of Hong Kong film. The films of that era looked very plain and unremarkable, but they attracted countless audiences and were deeply in their minds. what is the reason? I think it is an "actor", an actor of that era. They concentrate on the movie wholeheartedly, project their personal style into the movie, and maximize it.
What we really miss is the actors of that era. Time goes by. Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, and Stephen Chow are also slowly aging. Stephen Chow has moved from the front of the stage to behind the scenes. Chow Yun-fat has rarely appeared on the screen in recent years. Jackie Chan is still making movies, but he used to dare to make trouble.The soul also slowly passed away. No matter who it is, it is no match for time. We still miss the movies of that era, and we are also grateful for movies that can record all these beautiful moments and remember them for future generations.
Time goes by, and Wangjun cherishes the people around him. If you miss it, there will be no more. Don't let yourself regret it in the future. Because we can never go back to the past and change the past. What we can do is only now, grasping the present, and doing a good job in the present is what we should do.
