Everyone knows the work "Sweeping Drugs 2". Many people celebrated that this work broke through one billion box office. This kind of achievement is a middle-to-top achievement for domestic film works. At first, there is nothing to say about breaking through one billion. There are many works that exceed one billion every year. As long as the works are produced, even two billion is not a difficult task. But it is different for the work "Anti-Drug 2", especially the starring Andy Lau. This work is the only one of his many works that has exceeded one billion. When it comes to this, many people may find it incredible . Some people may also ask, why is there such a big difference between the works produced in Hong Kong and the mainland? Looking at the movies released in recent years, we can actually find that Hong Kong-produced movies have not performed particularly well at the box office.
In the eyes of many people, it should be a simple matter for Andy Lau's work to break through one billion. From his influence, it can also be seen that the box office has never been a problem for him. But in terms of data, many of Andy Lau's works, many of which are not particularly good at the box office, and some are even tens of millions. This result is not the cause of Andy Lau, but the difference between Hong Kong films and mainland works. This difference has caused many Hong Kong directors to be unable to shoot high-selling works at the box office.
Let's talk about an objective reason first, that is, the region restricts the development of the film industry, which can be regarded as a more important reason. Hong Kong has a small population. To be precise, there are only about 10 million people, which is not as large as that of any provincial capital in the Mainland. In the past, Hong Kong films and mainland films were separate and did not circulate. Generally, it is difficult for movies released in Hong Kong to be released simultaneously in the Mainland. In the past, works such as "Infernal Affairs" starred by Andy Lau, although the works themselves are excellent, but the number of viewers is only so large, and the works cannot reach the peak box office. .
In addition to the number of people, then it is the regional restriction on the director. We will find that many Hong Kong works still do not work well after being screened in the Mainland. So why is this? In fact, it comes from the director. In the public's impression, what does the Hong Kong film represent? It is nothing more than a crime film. It seems that the director can no longer produce other works except for this kind of subject matter. In addition, cop movies have become a memorable content of a generation, and they have not become mainstream. If there are only things from Hong Kong in the work, then the box office must not be too high.
In fact, we will find that not all works in Hong Kong perform badly. For example, Star Master’s "Mermaid" is also ranked in the top ten in the domestic box office from the box office. I don’t know if you have noticed that pure Hong Kong content is already difficult to impress everyone. Master Xing knows this very thoroughly. He knows that if he wants his work to be recognized by more audiences, he must change the film appropriately. The content makes it more suitable for mainland audiences. Only in this way can it have a better box office.
Then why is the box office of mainland works generally high? Each of the three works released on the National Day file exceeded one billion box office. In fact, there is a core reason that is emotional resonance. Using movie works to awaken the emotions of the public, no matter what kind of emotion, as long as the emotional resonance is achieved, and the production of the work itself is better, then it is easy to sell at the box office. Let’s just cite two examples, such as "Wolf Warriors 2", which is at the top of the list.
This work is a war patriotic theme. For many people, patriotism has always hoped to dedicate one's own strength, but in many cases there is nowhere to vent it. In particular, the domestic and international situation at that time made many netizens concerned about national affairs. At this time, "Wolf Warrior 2" came out, giving everyone a catharsis. For many ordinary people, their life has nothing to do with patriotism, but they are willing to dedicate a part of their own strength, and in the end they all contribute to the box office.
In fact, we will find that the works that enter the top ten basically have a certain emotional resonance, such as the previous national comic "Nezha", which broke into the second. To a certain extent, it can represent the progress of our domestic animation technology. , Can also promote our traditional culture. This kind of success cannot be replicated, and the subsequent "Luo Xiaohei Zhan Ji" has only a box office of 300 million, which is far from "Ne Zha".
is actually the same for Hong Kong films. Many directors cannot find the emotional needs of mainland audiences. HeWe can only blindly shoot police and criminal films, hoping to evoke memories of Hong Kong films. After watching too many works of the same type, you will feel annoyed. Hong Kong movies have been going on for decades, if there is no reform, then it may not be long before Hong Kong movies will disappear completely.
