Once Hong Kong, the first of the four dragons in Asia, has been ahead of all Asian countries since the 1960s, and it is also a well-known city facing Europe and the United States. At that time, Hong Kong was greatly influenced by the West, so Hong Kong's entertainment at that time was deeply influenced by the West and was far ahead in Asia. The most representative thing was movies. At that time, Hong Kong films started very early and took advantage. However, due to the relatively late opening of the mainland, various entertainments were almost blank. When Hong Kong films flowed to the mainland, the prosperity, technology, entertainment, The trend is deeply attracted to all young people of the contemporary era. The Hong Kong movies shown at the time were even more refreshing for everyone. At the time, Hong Kong movies were successful. At this time, Hong Kong movies reached their peak. Oriental Hollywood refers to Hong Kong movies!
However, after entering the 21st century, Hong Kong movies have declined day by day, so much so that they are almost forgotten today. What is the reason here? The editor summarizes it and can be roughly divided into several situations.
Monopoly: At that time, Hong Kong films were controlled by several large companies, and there were few other new small companies. Everyone knows that the capital market must survive the survival of the fittest. There is competition to make progress, and competition to have a future. A monopolized market cannot reach the realm of blooming flowers, so the result is imaginable.
Funds + market + competition + culture: After the 21st century, our Chinese economy is getting better and better. A lot of funds are invested in the film industry, so that our film production requirements are getting higher and higher, plus our country's The region is very wide, the market is big, there is market, there is economy, the development of our film industry is bound to be amazing. In 2018 statistics, there were more than 14,000 film and television companies in China. This number is not only the first in Asia, it is also very rare in the world. You can imagine the competition caused by so many companies. As I said above, there is competition, and there is a future. This is also how our Chinese movies can get better and better, so that we now have a lot of influence in the world. Are inseparable. At the same time, our movies can get better and better, which is inseparable from our cultural heritage. Almost every place in China has its own cultural heritage, which has created a diversification of our mainland movie market. The space for diversified development is very large. Coupled with thousands of years of history, it can be made into the subject of a movie, and there are too many to count. Unlike other countries, it only has a history of two to three hundred years.
The decline of Hong Kong movies is also inseparable from the problem of the replacement of old and new actors. Everyone knows that the older generation of actors in Hong Kong are very good and very talented. There are so many actors that can be cited. I will not explain them here. There are few actors of the younger generation who can be named. How can a market be supported by actors of the older generation forever? This is also an important reason why Hong Kong movies are slowly coming out of the stage.
I don't know what you think about this, and you are welcome to share your thoughts.
