I pre fer old Hong Kong movies. In the 1980s and 1990s, which was also the most glorious period for Hong Kong films, a large number of excellent films sprung up. Compared with current Hong Kong films, it is not difficult to see that the pre vious shooting standards were quite high, such as "Young and Dangerous" " series, "Infernal Affairs" series, etc. are all "palace-level" works among Hong Kong gangster and police movies, and they are also the highest level of Hong Kong movies with similar themes. Whether it is for viewing purposes or for expre ssing feelings, the current one is beyond reach!
Nowadays, the appre ciation level of young people in Hong Kong feels that it is getting worse than before. Then the social environment is becoming more and more stressful, and people have less and less time to watch movies. Coupled with the impact of foreign blockbusters, piracy and online downloads on the movie box office, the film industry's success is not ideal. So the number of films is getting smaller and smaller. A few decades ago, Hong Kong could produce more than 500 films per year, but now it may be less than 100. The number is not large, and the box office is not good. Therefore, Hong Kong films are now becoming more and more commercial. The movie itself becomes a billboard, which automatically makes it unsightly. This is why so many Hong Kong film companies now go to the mainland to shoot movies, and actors go to the mainland to take on roles.
In the Hong Kong films of the mid-1980s, the emergence of "A Better Tomorrow" truly changed the landscape of Hong Kong films, which began to become grand and international (of course the most popular ones). The best partner is also very international) Pony's windbreaker and matchsticks were sold out in Seoul, South Korea. Pony fought against Maple Grove. There is no true hero in the world.
Shanghai Bund, the play is set in Shanghai during the Republic of China. It describes the love and hatred of the characters in Shanghai gangs and the love story between Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng. "Shanghai Bund" impre ssed many viewers with its story of revenge in the world of joy, love and hatred. As a drama that has influenced generations of people, many classic scenes and images in the drama have remained in the hearts of the audience, such as the scene where Xu Wenqiang holds an umbrella for Feng Chengcheng in the snow, etc., and the classics of black hat, windbreaker and white gloves" "Xu Wenqiang" style and "Feng Chengcheng" hairstyle with two braids have become the audience's collective memories of that innocent era.
In 1987, director Lam Ling-tung dedicated a classic film in his director career, "Prison Storm". Li Xiuxian and Chow Yun-fat, who are opposites of good and evil, performed a wonderful brotherhood with great success. In "Prison", Tony Leung Ka-fai and Chow Yun-fat showed the pre cious kind of people in the darkness in "The Light of Friendship" . After revisiting this movie many years later, I found that Hong Kong movies in the 1980s are worthy of being a classic generation. Every actor's performance is very serious and touching.
