Why has Hong Kong cinema declined?

First of all, times have changed. The era of Hong Kong movies is an era where a hundred flowers bloom, not only comedy movies represented by Stephen Chow, action movies represented by Jackie Chan, but also heroic movies represented by Chow Yun-fat. These movies made Hong Kong movies lead the development of mainland China, and mainland movies gradually moved closer to Hong Kong movies. With the return of Hong Kong and the further development of the mainland's opening up, Hong Kong movies began to decline because people's aesthetic tastes changed and became more diverse. Become.

Also, the mainland is catching up quickly. Mainland China's current film or TV production capabilities are directly in line with Hollywood, leaving Hong Kong movies behind. Of course, this does not mean that Hong Kong movies do not have good works, but that the overall level of mainland movies has caught up to or even surpassed that of Hollywood. It surpasses Hong Kong. The counterattack of the Wolf Warrior series is a clear example.

The third reason is that the audience’s tastes are picky. When previous Hong Kong movies came to the mainland, they became popular in one word! Nowadays, the taste of mainland audiences is no longer simple food, but exquisite Western food. Some TV dramas or movies in Hong Kong still adopt a cost-saving approach, which is obviously not in line with the aesthetics of mainland audiences. Some mainland TV dramas can already be exported abroad, such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

This cannot be said to be the decline of Hong Kong movies. It is just that Hong Kong movies have changed to a new model. This model is different from the mainland model and has more content unique to Hong Kong-style movies. , I wonder if mainland directors or producers will learn from Hong Kong’s model. If so, will mainland China lead Hong Kong’s development?
