"Tomorrow's War" sold badly and returned to the original, "Search and Rescue" lost 190 million, and Hong Kong films depended on Andy Lau to save the scene

2022 will undoubtedly set a new low for Hong Kong films in the mainland market in the past 5 years

in 2018, Chow Yun-fat teamed up with Aaron Kwok 's " Wushuang " in the mainland box office broke 1.273 billion, breaking the box office record for Hong Kong films in the mainland, and then in 2019 The Andy Lau plus Gu Tianle 's "Anti-drug 2" broke this record with a score of 1.312 billion

In 2020, Andy Lau once again brought "Bomb Disposal Expert 2", the box office broke 1.314 billion, and the record was broken again

in 2021 Donnie Yen is here! The box office of "Furious Case" surged to 1.329 billion, and it won the box office champion

of Hong Kong films in the mainland for 4 consecutive years. It can be said that the development of Hong Kong films in the mainland is quite good. It is a pity that in 2022 This momentum was interrupted in 2019, especially when the two ace-in-chiefs of Hong Kong films, Louis Koo and Donnie Yen, suffered consecutive box office losses

" Tomorrow's War " sold badly, and "Search and Rescue" lost 190 million! Hong Kong films will suffer heavy losses in 2022

As of October 18, only 9 new Hong Kong films have been released in the mainland this year

Among them, Zheng Jiaying 's " Burning Love " has a box office of only 1.01 million, the last Hong Kong film of the year!

Wang Zulan 's " only belongs to us for a day " box office was 2.72 million, the second-to-last

Hui Yinghong 's "My Extraordinary Parents" box office only 6.16 million

Sammo Hung 's " Seven Band " box office 1564 Wan

Donnie Yen's "Search and Rescue" has a box office of 17.44 million in 16 days, and it is predicted that its final box office will be less than 20 million The box office of "Tomorrow's War" was 675 million

The champion of the Hong Kong film unexpectedly belongs to Liu Qingyun 's " Detective War ", which has a box office of 712 million

It can be seen that the only Hong Kong film that has reached the box office this year is "The Detective War". The most watched "War of Tomorrow" and "Search and Rescue" both failed to varying degrees. "War of Tomorrow" claimed to cost more than 450 million Hong Kong dollars. It competed with "Lone on the Moon" in the summer file, but the box office has not been able to go up. As a result, Gu Tianle took out a stunt and sold miserable marketing.

abruptly increased the film's box office from 400 million to 675 million. In addition, the Hong Kong box office broke 70 million Hong Kong dollars. The film finally made a return, and plans to make a prequel and a sequel, but the problem is that before Gu Tianle The miserable marketing is saying that the cost of the movie is high, and Gu Tianle is going to lose money

The total box office of the movie is about 730 million. Gu Tianle is already celebrating the success and wants to make a sequel, so the real production cost of "Tomorrow's War" should not exceed 200 million. Because according to the calculation of 450 million Hong Kong dollars, the movie needs at least 1 billion box office to return to its original value. Although this fake propaganda method has made "Tomorrow's War" return to its original value, it is not a small loss to Louis Koo's audience.

Donnie Yen's "Search and Rescue" Not to mention that the cost of

is so-called 200 million, the box office is less than 20 million, and the loss exceeds 190 million! It is one of the biggest box office duds in 2022. For Donnie Yen, the failure of "Search and Rescue" completely shattered the dream of transformation. Action actors have no box office appeal if they don't make action movies. Now Donnie Yen, before Jet Li "" "Ocean Paradise " has proved this.

brought 6 new films at once, and Hong Kong films were saved by Andy Lau

However, there is a low point in 2022. Next year, Andy Lau, another big ace of Hong Kong films, will come to the rescue

In the next two years, Andy Lau will bring 6 blockbusters at once

" Wandering Earth 2" " Gold" Finger ", " Crisis Route ", "Sneak", " Moscow Operation ", " Mr. Red Carpet ", "Battle Angel"

are basically completed and waiting for release, among which "Wandering Earth 2", "Moscow Operation", " "Mr. Red Carpet" is a seed player with a box office of 3 billion +, "Golden Finger" is a Hong Kong film team, "Infernal Affairs" director Zhuang Wenqiang is in charge, Tony Leung plus Andy Lau's configuration, it is expected to break the Hong Kong film of "Rage" The film's box office record in the Mainland

After the decline of Hong Kong movies, Hong Kong filmmakers actually divided into two paths

Louis Koo and Donnie Yen still focus on Hong Kong movies, although some movies have mainland actors involved, most of them are soy sauce characters or flower vases The heroine, and Andy Lau, Jackie Chan , Zhou Xingchi are actively involved in mainland movies, the new films are basically co-productions in mainland China and Hong Kong

The box office gap between these two roads is huge

Gu Tianle and Donnie Yen are still struggling to reach 1 billion The box office line, and Stephen Chow has already broken the 3 billion box office, and Andy Lau and Jackie Chan have also gained a wider base, and the box office is also far more than 1 billion line

Personally think that the route represented by Andy Lau is more able to save the Hong Kong movie

The current Hong Kong market has already Occupied by Hollywood , there is not a single Hong Kong film in the top 25 box office in film history. "Tomorrow's War" broke 70 million Hong Kong dollars, which looks good, but Tom Ge 's "Lone Ranger 2" Hong Kong box office has exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars , this gap is

insisting that the Hong Kong market is completely unnecessary. The huge mainland film market is the best soil for Hong Kong films. Of course, there is no concept of Hong Kong films and mainland films at this time. We are all Domestic films, Chinese films
