Preach in words. - Don Tears
Position refers to the order in which actors appear in promotional materials and movies.
One is a symbol of the actor's comprehensive strength.
The composition of strength is based on the five levels of actor stardom, historical box office, industry seniority, awards and acting strength.
For a simple example, such as the 2018 movie "Peerless".
The main story line and the actual scenes are all focused on Aaron Kwok, but the order of the positions is Chow Yun-fat and Aaron Kwok twice.
Therefore, as far as Hong Kong films are concerned, Chow Yun Fat, who came with the historical achievements and qualifications of "Double Monday Cheng", even the double main role is only once.
Not any junior actor can override it.
As far as hong Kong film history is concerned.
It is also common to closely link the box office performance of a movie with the actor who ranks first, even if the two male structures, it is also respected by one.
The most important of these is the film achievement that won the annual championship and broke the record in film history.
Other data such as box office breaking tens of millions and entering the top ten of the annual box office list are at most temporary red stars, which is relatively irrelevant.
The number of annual crown box office is the basic threshold for entering the camp of Hong Kong movie celebrities.
If there is no annual crown data, it is actually difficult to call a big coffee.
Of course, in recent years, as the box office focus has shifted to the mainland film market, the box office performance of 500 million and 1 billion has also begun to become a measure.
So for the actors.
The commercial box office is indeed a very important support.
Especially if there is a lack of head box office performance, it is difficult to be regarded as the backbone of the film industry.
Take the fifty years of film history as an example, a little inventory.
The 1970s were the era of Bruce Lee and Hui Guanwen.
Bruce Lee and Xu Guanwen were both rejected by Shaw for their attempt to control the film initiative, and instead hit it off with Jiahe Pictures.
With seven films, the duo won the annual title six times and broke the record five times in film history in ten years.
Among them, Bruce Lee is naturally the most strangling, just spray thin abruptly stopped, can be called the most painful loss in the history of Hong Kong cinema, otherwise the prosperity of Hong Kong action movies do not need to wait until the next decade to announce the coming.
As a first-generation laugher, Xu Guanwen's skill can not be underestimated, the difference between him and Zhou Xingchi is that after a short period of accumulation, he stepped into the field of self-editing and self-directing, and entered the drama with observation and thinking about life, while Zhou Xingchi experienced a longer period of accumulation, and his films have always been unable to reach the depth of Xu Guanwen in terms of ideology.
In the last year of the era, Xu Guanwen did not launch a work, and Jackie Chan, who tried to write and direct himself for the first time, took his first annual crown.
The movie is lackluster, and Jackie Chan is still in the groping period.
Beginning in the 1980s, Xu Guanwen retreated in the rapids.
In 1980, the Xu brothers did not launch the work as usual, and Jackie Chan won the annual crown again with a "Master and Brother Out of the Horse" and pushed the box office record over the 10 million mark for the first time.
The following year, Hui Guanwen and Hui Guanjie and Hui Guanying shot again, "Modern Bodyguard" received 17.76 million, won the annual championship and broke the record, and the next year won the first film emperor of the Hong Kong Film Awards, and began to reduce production and gradually retreated.
In 1982, Xu Guanjie began to fly alone, partnered with Mai Jia, and launched three "Best Partners" in a row, winning the annual championship and breaking two records, but unfortunately one step away from the 30 million mark.
In 1985, "Summer Lucky Star" broke through the 30 million box office mark in one fell swoop, and everyone habitually regarded this movie as Jackie Chan's annual crown work, but if you talk about it, this achievement should belong to Hong Jinbao.
The same thing happened in 1986, when "The True Colors of Heroes" came out. Winning the annual crown, breaking records and creating a new genre of police films is also regarded as Chow Yun-fat's classic masterpiece. By the same token, when it comes to position, this glory should belong to Dillon.
In 1987, Jackie Chan topped the annual crown for the third time with the 35.46 million box office of "Brother Dragon and Tiger Brother" and broke the record again, but then Zhou Runfa went down to two cities in a row, and with "Eight Stars annunciation" with a slight advantage, the box office record reached 37.09 million, and the last year of the era was "God of Gamblers" to win the championship.
But what no one knows is that a four-year", box office storm" is coming.
The nineties started in a jaw-dropping way.
Zhou Xingchi, who only started filming in 1988, won the annual crown in 1990 with an explosive "Gamble Saint" in 1990, pushing the record above the 40 million mark, and then reaching the top of the annual crown for three consecutive years and breaking the record twice.
In 1994, Chow Yun-fat won a round with "God of Gamblers 2", also broke the record by a slight margin, and then left Hollywood.
Since then, Jackie Chan has worked hard, won the annual championship for three consecutive years and broke two records, and also began to set foot in Hollywood.
In 1998, Aaron Kwok, who had been debuting for nine years and was still young, broke out to the top with "The Majesty of the Wind and Clouds", defeating Shuang Zhoucheng to win his first annual championship, which was a breakthrough in the film industry in the 1990s.
The following year, Stephen Chow won the annual crown with "The King of Comedy" with a box office of less than 30 million.
The bi-Weekly era came to an end.
The time has come for the masses to rise together.
The 2,000s may have been the decade of the decline of Hong Kong cinema.
In 2000, Andy Lau, who had been debuting for nearly two decades, finally won the first annual crown of his career with "Lonely Man and Widow", with a box office of 35.21 million.
The following year, Stephen Chow exploded, pushing the record to 60.73 million with "Shaolin Soccer", sweeping the following year's Academy Awards and winning three awards: Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor.
In 2002, "Infernal Affairs", which came out in a "rescue" sound, won 55.05 million at the box office with a lineup of four major movie emperors, but the film's position was more difficult to understand, and the following year, "Infernal Affairs 3" won the annual championship with a box office of 30.22 million.
The film side balances the poster and the opening title setting, the first poster ranks First in Andy Lau, the film title Liang Chaowei is the first, and the name of Andy Lau comes out first at the end of the film, so it is usually regarded as Pingfan. As for the third part, the poster alternately ranks first in the two, and the opening credits are Liang Chaowei listed first, so if this year's crown is only considered once, it will be calculated to Liang Chaowei or more appropriate.
In 2004, Stephen Chow won the annual championship and broke the record with his pinnacle "Kung Fu", with a box office performance of 61.27 million, a record that will be maintained for seven years, and after seven years, it will be the first time that a non-Hong Kong film in Chinese film will dominate the highest record in film history for five years.
In 2005, the first film "Head Character D" starring Jay Chou, starring "Crossing the River Dragon", reached the top of the year, which was also the only glory of the Mesozoic Generation in this decade.
In 2006, Jet Li finally won his first annual title with "Huo Yuanjia", the quality of the film was good but the box office was average, only 30.2 million.
Following "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Jiang Zhiqiang once again launched "Color Ring", directed by Ang Lee and starring Liang Chaowei and Tang Wei, and topped the 2007 annual crown with a box office of 48.69 million, which was also Liang Chaowei's third personal annual crown.
In 2008, Stephen Chow brought the transformation work "Yangtze River No. 7" for the third time, and easily won the annual championship with a box office of 51.44 million.
In 2009, the weakest annual crown of the decade appeared, "Family Happy Affair 2009", which only grossed 24.65 million.
Another round of old and new changes begins.
Hong Kong cinema in the 1910s picked up slightly.
In 2010, Zhen Zidan won the annual title for the first time with the 43.31 million box office of "Ip Man 2".
The following year a new record was born. The Chinese-language film "Those Years, the Girl We Chased Together" surpassed "Kung Fu" seven years ago with a box office of 61.86 million, and topped the top spot in Hong Kong film history.
In 2012, the landmark film "Cold War" in the police genre appeared, and Aaron Kwok won his second personal title with 42.82 million at the box office, and the film swept the following year's Academy Awards.
In 2013, Zhang Jiahui won his first annual title with "Guild Wars", with a box office of 44.63 million.
In 2014, Wu Junru took "Golden Rooster SSS" to the top with 41.27 million at the box office.
Next was Zhen Zidan's second box office explosion, "Ip Man 3" won his second annual crown with 60.42 million box office, and jumped over the billion mark in the mainland.
In 2016, "Cold War 2" broke the record in film history, reaching the top of the film history championship with a score of 66.82 million, taking the position of the champion of Hong Kong film Chinese films from the hands of "Those Years, the Girl We Chased", and it is also Aaron Kwok's third annual champion, which has also been maintained for five years.
In the following four years, they were won by Yang Qianwei of "Chunjiao Save Zhiming", Huang Zihua of "Agent Dong Du", Liu Qingyun of "Honest Government", and Huang Zihua of "Grandmaster of the Qi Dynasty".
Aaron Kwok is the only Hong Kong actor to break the record in film history after the double Mondays.
The year's crown and record-breaking figures.
That is, the history of Hong Kong cinema in the last 50 years.
Those glories of the protagonists.
