Are Hong Kong movies going downhill? What is the reason?

Hong Kong films rose in the 1970s and reached their peak in the 1980s and mid-1990s. At that time, Hong Kong films had an important influence in the world. As long as the world movies look at two poles, one represents Hollywood in the west and the other represents Hong Kong in the east.

However, in the late 1990s, Hong Kong films began to decline, from the previous annual output of several hundred films to less than 50 now, and suddenly returned to the Stone Age from heaven. The reason is complicated. Some people say that Hong Kong films did not decline until after the reunification. Personally, I think the decline of Hong Kong movies has nothing to do with the return of Hong Kong to China. After the reunification, Hong Kong's culture and education have not been greatly influenced by the mainland. Just look at the current "Hong Kong Capital".

At that time 1997, the Asia-Pacific financial turmoil hit Hong Kong hard, and the film industry was also greatly affected by it, but it could not be the main reason for its decline. As can be seen from the examples, the rise of Korean film entertainment industry and Indian film is around a new period. Were Korea and India not affected by the financial turmoil at that time? In fact, South Korea suffered more trauma than Hong Kong. The rise of Korean film entertainment in this period was due to the strong promotion and support of the government. The most important thing about the decline of Hong Kong films is that the policies of the Hong Kong authorities are too loose. In today's words, they did not pay attention to the transformation and guidance of the film industry, did not keep up with the changes of the times, and eventually went into decline.

At that time, Hong Kong films had reached a period when the overall theme was exhausted. Those famous works in the past, such as Jin Yong, Gu Long, pornography and gambling, etc. Shooting everywhere, natural themes and new ideas will be less and less. Coupled with the heavy blow of the financial turmoil, investors will make movies without watching movies, and then invest less and less, a vicious circle. At this time, the policy did not guide innovation, or just "fried rice." The rise and fall of Hong Kong films is naturally determined by the market and capital.

When a person is not paid attention to and treated in the early stage of illness, it will be of little significance until the late stage of cancer. Hong Kong movies are such a true portrayal.

When will Hong Kong films regain their glory? Then you have to reinvent yourself and start all over again. At that time, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat and other stars didn't continue to write brilliant success when they played ball. Now, if we talk about it again, how difficult is it? The shortage of talents is the biggest shortcoming. Even TVB, a "star university" in Hong Kong, cannot be discovered now. Hong Kong film has a long way to go.
