"Preach in the text." --Tang Tears"
Hong Kong cinema has a power.
The tradition from the commercial, so that most Hong Kong films audio-visual and editing have a sense of sharpness, rarely dragging mud and water redundancy.
Director Zheng Baorui said that Hong Kong directors know how to consider problems from the perspective of the audience.
In this sentence.
The so-called commercial film, indeed, should first of all be able to make the audience have the pleasure of watching the movie, simply put, it is good-looking or entertaining.
As long as the Hong Kong director is still there, Hong Kong films will not disappear.
Although the older generation has retreated or retreated, the Mesozoic generation is still strong, the new generation has risen with great fanfare, and more people have thrown themselves into this field, waiting to prove themselves with their works.
After decades of great waves, the Group of Hong Kong actors is still standing.
All of this can be called a spectacle.
We try to sort out the trend of Hong Kong films in the future from the two levels of the new generation of directors and actors.
See who might be stunning, or moderate and bad.
A new generation of directors.
Including Weng Ziguang, Mai Junlong, Huang Qingxun, Mai Qiguang, Luo Junwei, Wu Xuanhui, Guo Wenqi and Li Zhenlong.
Corresponding to the eight works, it happens to be starred by the four actors who are currently the biggest celebrities in Hong Kong movies.
Among them, Liang Chaowei and Andy Lau each have one, Aaron Kwok has three, and Gu Tianle has four.
The two highest recommended films should be "When the Wind Rises Again" and "Wind Forest Volcano".
Both are commercial productions of more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, one is the growth history of gangsters, and the other is an anti-traditional police film, the former is Weng Ziguang's fourth work, and the latter is Mai Junlong's second film.
Compared with the actors, these two films have greater significance to the director, just as "Peerless" is to Zhuang Wenqiang.
The movie "When the Wind Rises Again" is led by Aaron Kwok and Liang Chaowei, Aaron Kwok has been unstoppable in recent years, and Liang Chaowei, who is serious, is still no one can despise, Weng Ziguang has these two generals in hand, benchmarking "Once Upon a Time in America", and the possibility of achieving film history classics is very large.
"Wind Forest Volcano" is dominated by Jin Chengwu, Liang Jiahui, Liu Qingyun and Gu Tianle, and also carries the ambition of Mai Junlong. He wants to make an epic and unconventional cop movie, and with the creativity of his last film, Zombies, this new work is also worth looking forward to.
Both films are also part of the "Three Years and Three Years" series, which fans have been looking forward to for a long time.
In terms of quality, the probability of surprise can be expected.
After the niche movie "Mai Luren", Huang Qingxun almost non-stop launched a new work "Disconnected".
This is a commercial film, produced by Huanya, produced by Zheng Baorui, led by Aaron Kwok, and the cast also includes Lin Jiadong and Tam Yiu-man, Lai Yayan, Ren Dahua, Lu Liangwei and so on.
The previous work shows that the director still has room for improvement, and then he can start shooting new scenes, which also shows that he has been recognized and trusted by film companies and actors, otherwise with the current trend of Hong Kong films, it is difficult for new directors to quickly enter new productions without or commercial or word-of-mouth explosions, because of the novelty of the subject matter, cautious observation.
Another "Temporary Robbery", director Mai Qiguang surfaced.
He has worked as an assistant director for the films "Single Men and Women 2", "Paris Holiday" and "Peeling Daddy", and this black humor genre of "Temporary Weapon Robbery" is the first official work.
And Aaron Kwok, who is accustomed to standing for the new director, is unusually cheerful to pick up the trick, and put on the whistle teeth to play the thief king.
Judging from the current news of the movie, it roughly belongs to a small and medium-sized investment of the Hong Kong police crime genre film, but based on the script situation previously revealed, it is likely that there will be a windfall, or it will become an icebreaker for Aaron Kwok comedy genre films.
In 2019, the month after the cancellation of the concert due to illness, Andy Lau secretly resumed work to shoot a "Hong Kong Land".
The director is Luo Junwei, who has filmed the TVB "Blind Barrister".
The plot synopsis is vague, but from the previously released trailer observation, or related to the theme of smuggling, it should be a warm and inspirational route to take, but the quality is unpredictable, if compared with the same type of historical works, the upper limit or "Lovely You", the lower limit may be "Blood Choir", cautious observation.
The remaining three new directorial works are all supported by Gu Tianle.
They are "Tomorrow's War", "Beyond evil deeds" and "Searching for Qin".
Two of them were invested and filmed by Gu Tianle's own company, especially "Tomorrow's War", the investment amount jumped from 300 million, the project began filming in 2015, and all the shooting was completed in 2017, and then it has not been finalized for release so far.
The script is from the hand of gold medal screenwriter Luo Zhiliang, the director is the special effects company boss Wu Xuanhui, the cast includes Gu Tianle, Liu Qingyun, Zhang Jiahui and Liu Jialing, the previous two years have released a trailer, the special effects problem is not to talk about, the key is very Hong Kong-style police film meaning.
The "Wandering Earth", which was filmed two years later than this film, has been released in 2019, and its success has greatly raised the audience's requirements for science fiction movies, which is a great test for the "Tomorrow's War" that has not yet been finalized.
Another "Search for Qin" was filmed two years ago.
The film is co-directed by Li Zhenlong and Wu Xuanhui, the two directors are really new to the film industry, there are almost no traces of historical works, and the cast includes Gu Tianle, Lin Feng and Xuan Xuan.
The lineup is the original team of the TV series of that year, what about Nianhua?
Twenty years have passed since that TV series, the actors are thirty-one-year-old Hei Gu, twenty-two-year-old Lin Feng and thirty-one-year-old Xuanxuan, and now everyone is twenty years old, which really doesn't know what to say.
The last "Beyond evil deeds" is a typical small-budget police traditional Hong Kong film.
Director Guo Wenqi is a pure newcomer, and the cast includes Gu Tianle and Lin Jiadong, and the two start a "battle between fathers".
The upper limit is Gu Tianle's previous work "Crime Scene".
Every movie.
It is the collective effort of the creators behind the scenes.
Whether it is painstaking or exploratory, it is necessary to appear and be tested by the market.
They may encounter the storm and the dragon, or they may have to regain their strength and come back.
And the so-called stunning, moderate and bad three endings.
Then it will be one of them.
