Early Hong Kong and Macao Sudden Search
Every year, in addition to the New Year of the lunar calendar, in addition to the New Year with friends and relatives, many people also like to go to the cinema to watch New Year films.This year, the Hong Kong New Year movie files have rarely restored their former lives. There are five sets of Chinese films and four sets of western films. Watching the New Year films has once again become entertainment programs for many Hong Kong people.
As early as the New Year holiday of the lunar calendar, there was a strong new year atmosphere on the streets of Hong Kong. The advertising signs promoted by the New Year movie were visible everywhere.Among them, the king of new comedies, which was written by Zhou Xingchi, successfully set off a hot story in the society before its release.
The emergence of this phenomenon is not strange.Zhou Xingchi is the originator of Hong Kong's nonsense cultural comedy film. In the past, each work was named classic, carrying the happy memories of many Hong Kong people.The king of comedy starring him and released 20 years ago, integrating touching life experience in a simple love story, is the collective memories of many Hong Kong people.Therefore, many fans of Xingye have great expectations for the king of new comedies.
As a fan who grew up watching Zhou Xingchi's movie since I was a child, I also went to the cinema last week.In all fairness, the film is still very sincere, without kung fu, no magic, Zhou Xingchi returned to the story of the little man's efforts and struggle 20 years later, and he could not help but remember the classic plot of the comedy king of comedy 20 years ago.
However, friends who watched the drama together were degraded to the king of the new comedy, saying that although it used the bridge section of the king of comedy and added the tenderness of the father and daughter, the overall story was thin and failed to reach the level of the expected level in her heart.Essence
The box office performance of the new comedy king in Hong Kong was unfortunately said by friends.Before the deadline, the king of the new comedy could only keep the second place in the box office of the Chinese New Year's Chinese New Year in Hong Kong, and lost to the clean -government smoke curtain that Liu Qingyun and Zhang Jiahui joined hands with Zhang Jiahui.
If the king of the new comedy is frustrated in Hong Kong, it is likely that in recent years, Zhou Xingchi has focused on the Chinese market, and the nonsense culture with Hong Kong characteristics has gradually disappeared with him to see Shenzhou north, and it is no longer accepted by Hong Kong people.Surprisingly, the background of the new comedy king is in the mainland. The main actors are also mainlanders, but it seems that the mainland market is not as popular as expected.
Data show that the box office revenue on the first day of the film on the mainland ranks only third, behind the crazy aliens and flying life starring in Swordsman Shen Teng, mainland China.Since then, the science fiction film of the science fiction film of the new comedy king counterattacked. After seizing the first place, the box office of the new comedy king fell to the fourth and fifth.
On some film reviews on the mainland, the reputation of the new comedy king is only quite satisfactory.Many mainland netizens have left messages to criticize Zhou Xingchi for many years and are still stir -fried rice after many years. They use villain as the main character. The subject matter cannot be separated from inspirational people and can no longer be sold in the mainland market.
Some mainland netizens lamented that the king of the new comedy, as a nonsense film of Zhou Xingchi, was not as deep and connotative as before. It can be seen that Xingye has done his best and creative. The king of comedy is getting away.
Mainland netizens' ruthless evaluation of Zhou Xingchi is opposite to a few years ago.Once upon a time, Zhou Xingchi's films were almost the collective memories of the mainland people in the 1970s and 1980s.In particular, Journey to the West, spread on the mainland universities and the Internet, and quickly became popular. It is all the rage and is still regarded as a classic.In just a few years, Zhou Xingchi's extremely high popularity has not been seen.
Of course, because the box office performance of the new comedy king is not well performed, it is pointing directly to Zhou Xingchi's unpopularity in the mainland, but it is too arbitrary.However, looking at the westward Journey to the West and the mermaid in the past few years, Zhou Xingchi fire and 30 opponents were more than enough.This year, Xingye has indeed encountered the unprecedented challenge of the new mainland comedy forces. Especially, he lost in Shen Teng's hands, reflecting the arrival of the crisis of the comedy king.
To some extent, this is also the choice of market trends.Hong Kong films were once brilliant, but the Hong Kong market itself was limited. After a period of peak period, it was difficult to give birth to new things.On the contrary, mainland China is a great land, creating themes and market richness. Once the economy develops, it can easily drive the film industry to prosper.
If the economic strength is the basis of the development of the cultural industry, the box office performance of the king of new comedy may be a warning to Hong Kong people: the upcoming time of the Xingye era, in addition to reflecting that Hong Kong's film culture has gradually passed away, it also reflects whether the Hong Kong economy is in China as a whole China.The decline of status?If Hong Kong society continues to eat old books, I am afraid that the beauty of Hong Kong in the past will really never go back!
