? The 1980s was the heyday of Hong Kong films, and how prestigious it was in the whole Asian and even global film market! I believe that young people at that time will have the experience of watching videos in a dark room! Whether you are a movie fan or not, you will be deeply impressed by the basic attractions of Hong Kong movies, such as the way of stories, the coordination of images and music, and the incitement and shaping of universal human feelings. These cross-cultural attractions are all created by artistic skills. That skill is the art of entertainment! During this period, Hong Kong films were revolutionary, commercial, moderate and bold. At that time, the films were not eager for success, did not pretend to be forced, did not have so much computer technology, did not have so much knowledge, and did not have the unnatural musical effects and martial arts design in the West. He can portray characters in detail, is worthy of history in historical background, is elegant in background music and lines, and can learn from them in foreign exchanges. This made Hong Kong film ahead of Asia and even the world at that time, and its prosperity and achievements were second only to those of American film industry! No wonder it is called "Oriental Hollywood". The Hong Kong film circle in this period can be roughly described from the following three angles:
1, good slicing and high yield;
? During this period, many talented directors appeared, who integrated their life experiences and ideas into their works, criticized the current situation with the unique passion of filmmakers, and promoted the prosperity of Hong Kong films.
For example, John Woo's "aesthetics of violence" established his position as a "master of a generation" and filled the violent world with unspeakable romance with extremely confident methods. Gorgeous and free control of the camera, concise dialogue and dancing gun battles make people fall for it.
2. The director is prolific
? Tsui Hark's films have won many stars and created many miracles. His six works so far have successfully constructed a unique "Wong Kar-wai-style" film aesthetics with extremely stylized visual images, post-modern expression techniques and a keen grasp of urban people's spiritual temperament. With "Hero" and "Ghost Story"? Movies such as 1987 and Huang Feihong (199 1 movie) are well-known at home and abroad, which has created a new era for Hong Kong films. Tsui Hark is one of the most influential actors in Hong Kong film industry.
3, superstar high yield
Everyone gave them a title: Anita Mui, the Queen of Variety, Brigitte Lin, the First Brother of Film and Television, Chow Yun Fat, Leslie Cheung, the Mystery Queen, Joey Wong and the Noble Queen, Maggie Cheung.
? On the other hand, Chinese mainland movies? Investing a lot of money, being exposed because of environmental pollution, and finding Hong Kong, Taiwan and foreign superstars to join in failed to save these bad films. Directors really need to "wash and sleep"! ! Back more than eight years ago, mainland directors studied Jackie Chan's drunken fist 1 in a room in order to study Hong Kong martial arts movies. In order to pursue short-term commercial value, many directors in Chinese mainland constantly copy the martial arts routines and ideas of Hong Kong films, but they don't know that painting a tiger is not a dog. For example, those "Heroes" are as smelly as "The Promise". The only thing they can do is rely on scenery and computer stunts. Apart from these, there is almost no ideological connotation, which is pure nonsense.
? However, the recent 10 years or so, the decline of Hong Kong films and the numerous international gains of mainland films also tell us a truth-the tables have turned, and it is finally our turn for mainland films to represent China film industry in various international competitions, but we can't be proud. It may take a generation to catch up or even catch up with the gap between American and European and American movies, so come on, Hong Kong and mainland movies are the best in China.
