Attaching importance to the script and producing high-quality Hong Kong movies to usher in "Little Spring"
2023-03-17
In the past year, Hong Kong film box office has repeatedly set new records. First, at the end of 2022, "Tomorrow's Battle" set a Hong Kong box office record for Hong Kong produced films with a box office of 81.82 million Hong Kong dollars; Then, on January 21, 2023, the release of "Poisonous Tongue Lawyer" ("Poisonous Tongue Fact") surpassed "Tomorrow's Battle Notes" and became the first Hong Kong produced film to break HK $100 million at the box office in Hong Kong. Together with "Still Think You're the Best" ("Rice Drama Attacks the Heart"), which ended with HK $77.34 million, the three films took the top three places in the total box office of Chinese language films in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong film, once declared "dead", seems to have ushered in a "little sunny spring". At the 27th Hong Kong International Film and Television Exhibition, there were signs of the recovery of Hong Kong films everywhere. Reporters interviewed a number of industry insiders. After years of struggling, Hong Kong Film seems to have found a new direction. The return of front-line actors and cast members to the Hong Kong International Film and Television Exhibition has restored the excitement of the past, and several film and television companies have announced their film listings for the coming year. Among them, Emperor of England Film held a massive film tour, with celebrities including Jackie Chan, Tony Leung, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Nicholas Tse, Chen Weiting, Lin Jiaxin, Cai Zhuoyan, and other well-known directors including Lin Chaoxian, Zhuang Wenqiang, and Mai Zhaohui all appearing with their works. "Restart" became the key word for this movie tour. Many people who haven't seen each other for a long time and their long lost matches appear in this movie list. For example, Tony Leung and Andy Lau, who have not collaborated for 20 years, are again collaborating on the crime film "Golden Finger", which will be released this year; Jacky Cheung, who has not been filming for 7 years, has finally made his debut starring in "Customs Front"; Lin Chaoxian, who had been making major productions in the mainland before, returned to Hong Kong to shoot "Burst Point", starring Zhang Jiahui and Chen Weiting, who had not appeared in Hong Kong movies for a long time; There is also Nicholas Tse, who can be called the model worker of this year: In addition to the already completed "Customs Front", he also announced three upcoming projects at once, including "Spread of Anger", "Unlimited Mission", and "New Police Story 2". Among them, he will become a director for the first time in "New Police Story 2". "These are all projects that have been discussed in previous years, and we can finally start this year without worrying about being too busy," Xie Tingfeng said. "The number of Hong Kong movies has decreased year by year in recent years, from 49 in 2019 to 27 in 2022.". Andy Lau admitted that for Hong Kong film practitioners, there have been few job opportunities in the past three years, but this year there has been a positive trend: "Everyone seems to want to find the gaps in the past three years back, as long as they have this heart, the industry will become better and better." Lin Chaoxian served as the supervisor and chief director of "Burst Point", He described: "Returning to Hong Kong for filming gives me the feeling of going home because everyone is passionate about doing the same thing. Although it is difficult to shoot action dramas in Hong Kong, this is also the fun." The number of Hong Kong films has declined in the past three years, while the audience's enthusiasm for watching films has increased. In an interview, Tony Leung mentioned that it is a joy to see many audiences willing to support Hong Kong movies. "Local audiences have a strong passion for watching movies, which is a good start to cultivate more new film practitioners.". Chen Yongshen, the director of "Still Think You're the Best," observed the same phenomenon: "Since last year,
