In 2004, he set up the "Film and Television Point", while doing real estate, he began to make the movies he wanted to make.
Luo Shouyao was born with a golden spoon, and his father, Luo Zhaotang, was the "pawnshop king" of Hong Kong's "Yu Taixing", with a net worth of more than HK$20 billion. Unwilling to stick to his father's business, Luo Shouyao ran to the United States to study film. His favorite films are "The Great National" and "Ode to Liu Fang": "The theme of both sets of plays is to tell people not to spend their days stupidly every day, and I will not allow Luo Shouyao to return to old age in a hundred years, and I still don't know if I know whether I know how to make movies." After graduation, he chose to return to Hong Kong to help his father, but he has never broken his dream of filming. He knew Xiang Huaqiang, and he had also seen Qiu Litao filming, and the right time came more than ten years later. In 2003, he took a stake in Galaxy Image as chairman of the company. After investing in two "Underworld", from learning to practice, in 2004, Luo Shouyao, who admitted to being completely different from Du Qifeng in his creative style, established a "film and television point" to produce films in a self-invested manner, integrating producers, directors, screenwriters and producers.
"My dream is simple, to make an entertaining Hong Kong film." Its commercial appeal can be seen in the eight films directed by Luo Shouyao. The first two youth romance films "First Song of Love" and "Very Adolescent" "showed off the eclipse", he suddenly made a big transformation, photography "Black Fist", "Lower Head", "Capture the Handsome", "Short Life" ... Not only is it violent to sell plasma, but it is also full of sensitive elements such as incest that attract the attention of the audience. Since "Black Fist", he has tasted the sweetness of selling ports, and the huge profits of overseas copyrights are enough to make a steady profit.
Luo Shouyao once said frankly: "Filmmakers are concerned about the recognition and appreciation of the work, but they must know their own affairs and understand that what they want to shoot is still far from what the audience wants to see." "He makes films because he's obsessed with movies, but he also has shrewd business calculations. Some people refer to him as an "amateur version of Hong Kong Sanchi Takashi", although his works are often immature and complete, but his themes and expressions reveal the free spirit of Hong Kong films that refuse to compromise.
