Compared with the same period last year, the local box office in Hong Kong this year is even more sluggish. The total box office has dropped by nearly one-third, and the number of moviegoers has returned to the level of 1982.

Even if Kang Jianfei came forward to mediate, Taiwanese filmmakers did not repeatedly ask the Taiwan authorities to fully release the copying of American films, but they still could not stop the sunset of Hong Kong films. In the final analysis, the problem is that the Hong Kong film industry system is chaotic, and Hong Kong films show a state of disorderly development.

At the beginning of this year, people of insight in the Hong Kong film industry once again jointly signed a letter, asking the Hong Kong government to set up a film bureau to regulate the production and distribution of Hong Kong films. Then the Hong Kong government was busy making troubles with the Chinese government, ignoring such trivial matters.

It's ridiculous to say that, with the dignified "Oriental Hollywood", Hong Kong films are sold all over the world, and Hong Kong doesn't even have a film bureau.

In this year's Hong Kong film summer program, the flames of war are no longer visible. The enemy of major production companies and theater chains is not their competitors, but the dwindling audience.

The most eye-catching is the Media Asia Film Company established by Lin Jianyue and SC Johnson. As soon as the opening film "I Have a Date with Spring" appeared, it attracted crazy praise from film critics and audiences, and the film's box office also rose steadily.

"I Have a Date with Spring" has no stars, and the actors are all newcomers who graduated from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. The reason why it achieved good results is that it was already famous in Hong Kong before it was released.

It is a stage play in itself, telling a story from the 1960s. The performance at the Hong Kong City Hall in Central two years ago immediately became popular in Hong Kong. Now, Media Asia has invited Gao Zhisen to be the director and turned this stage play into a movie. The original cast is still the lead actor, which will naturally attract countless audiences to the cinema. .

After "I Have a Date with Spring" was released in the Yonggao Cinema, the box office was second only to "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves" starring Zhang Guorong and Yuan Yongyi, and temporarily ranked second in the summer box office.

By the way, Luo Jiecheng's Yonggao Cinema has lost a total of more than 100 million in the three years since its establishment. Just in June of this year, Luo Jiecheng sold the Yonggao Cinema Line to a car dealership owner and successfully found a pick-up man.

As for the film "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", produced by Huang Baiming's Xincheng Pictures, it won the top prize in the first round of this summer's program, with a domestic box office of more than 29 million.

In the film released in the same period, there is also "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" directed by Yuan Kui and starring Li Lianjie, Zhong Liti and Zheng Zeshi.

The producer of this film is Jiahe in name, but the production team is all Li Lianjie's Zhengdong Film Company.

The actor contract signed by Li Lianjie and Kang Jianfei has long since expired. In the past two years, he accepted the investment of Taiwan Yang Dengkui and established Zhengdong Film Company, which has successively produced blockbuster films such as "Fang Shiyu" and "Who and the Fight".

It's a pity that since last year, Taiwanese filmmakers have reduced their investment in Hong Kong films, and Li Lianjie has not been able to draw funds for filming. [Zero ↑ ​​9 △ Xiao ↓ said △ Net.09xs.] He was embarrassed to go back to ask Kang Jianfei, so he simply accepted the olive branch thrown by Jiahe, and filmed "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" for Jiahe.

As early as when the filming of "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai" started, the executives of the Oriental Entertainment Brokerage Company had already regarded Li Lianjie as a traitor - you can help a Taiwanese film company to make a film, but it is unforgivable to make a film for Jiahe.

Both Li Lianjie and Jiahe's Zou Wenhuai have high expectations for "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard". However, the results after the show were shocking. Although this film has a good reputation, its box office is only half that of "I Have a Date with Spring", which is only 11 million.

And Oriental DreamWorks' "Urban Love" is a little bit fluttering. Director Liu Zhenwei, starring Li Ming, Wu Mengda, and Wu Qianlian. Although it is a small-cost urban romance film, the box office of 9.9 million is still a bit excessive, ranking last among the works of several major film companies.

Even "Heaven and Earth" produced by Liu Dehua's Tianmu company has a box office that is more than 1 million higher than "City Love".

This is the situation of the first round of films in this summer. Among the major film companies in Hong Kong, Huang Baiming's Xincheng Film is the first, Lin Jianyue's Media Asia Film is second, Zou Wenhuai's Jiahe is third, and Kang Jianfei's Oriental DreamWorks is at the bottom.

This situation has caused some media hostile to Kang Jianfei to write about it. This is the worst achievement of Oriental DreamWorks in an important period in the more than ten years since its establishment.

There are also pessimistic industry insiders who believe that Hong Kong films have been completely helpless. Even the movies of Oriental DreamWorks are dead on the street, which is the most direct manifestation of the decline of Hong Kong movies. This year's summer movie file is really deserted.

At this time (the end of July and the beginning of August), the second round of summer movies began to be released one after another. There are mainly four works——

The first is "The Tiger of Wan Chai: Drunk Life and Dream Death".

This is the last film invested by Luo Jiecheng of Yonggao Company. The reality is Chen Yaoxing, the tiger of Wanchai, one of the five tigers in Xinyi An. Chen Yaoxing was killed at the end of last year, and Mei Yanfang was also involved. Some people said that Xiang Huaqiang was behind it, and some people said that it had something to do with Kang Jianfei. Anyway, there was a lot of trouble.

Luo Jiecheng made this movie just to make money from the popularity. This guy used to be friends with Chen Yaoxing~lightnovelpub.net~ Second, "The Overlord of Western Chu".

The film was funded by Taiwanese filmmakers, with Hong Kongers as directors and producers, and was a three-site co-production filmed in the mainland. The starring lineup is still very strong, Gong Li, Zhang Fengyi, Guan Zhilin and Lu Liangwei, both the mainland and Hong Kong markets.

Third, "Splendid Future".

Xiang Huaqiang's voice is also produced. Director Chen Jiashang, starring Zhang Guorong, Liang Jiahui, Guan Zhilin, is a small-cost urban comedy romance, and the shooting budget is basically spent on the three leading actors.

Fourth, "Changing Faces"!

The background of this movie is kind of cool.

It is jointly produced by Oriental DreamWorks, Oriental Film Company (USA) and Paramount Pictures, directed by Wu Yusen, written by Kang Jianfei, starring Zhou Runfa, Nicolas Cage, Yang Ziqiong, Zhou Jialing, Nakayama Ninja (Japanese cute girl).

This is a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, with bizarre face-changing technology, the exchange of identities between pros and cons, as well as unconventional plots and hot fighting scenes. It needs depth and depth, pictures with pictures, and plots with plots. Whether it is ordinary audiences or professional film critics, they can't find its shortcomings.

Most of the characters in "Face Change" are in English, and only a few are in Cantonese. But this could not resist the enthusiasm of the public for watching the movie, and the box office performance in the first week broke the 10 million mark.

The films released at the same time, "Tiger of Wanchai" only had a box office of 3.8 million, "The Overlord of Western Chu" had a box office of 4.61 million, and "Splendid Future" had a box office of 5.3 million, which were completely crushed by Wu Yusen's "Face Change".

Just now, the media of Oriental DreamWorks sang badly, and a lot of brushstrokes changed, and they praised Kang Jianfei.

And what is Kang Jianfei doing?

He was busy opening an Internet cafe. This thing was the first of its kind in the world, and many details required Kang Jianfei's personal guidance.
