Today’s topic is a must-have for those who like movies, because you must have seen this kind of movie, and even if you just accidentally glanced at a scene in this kind of movie while eating, you can call it out. The name is just like how you can instantly smell the difference between soy sauce and vinegar. This type of film has a common name "Hong Kong film", which is China's Hong Kong film.
But if a friend asks you why you can recognize Hong Kong movies at a glance, does it have any taste?
Of course, I will use one of the eight major branches of Hong Kong movies, Hong Kong gangster crime movies, to give you an example to see what "Hong Kong movies on the tip of the tongue" taste like? I have sorted out all the gangster and police crime films that have won the Hong Kong Film Awards in the past 20 years from 2001 to now. There are three highlights of
; the first is that since "Infernal Affairs" in 2002, there has been a blowout of this type of movies, with the highest peak being "The Detective " filmed by Johnnie To in 2007,
filmed by Er Dongsheng " disciple ", You Naihai , who belongs to Hong Kong Galaxy Image with Johnnie To, has made a large number of high-quality Hong Kong films such as " " and so on. Then the popularity began to decline. There are two laws behind this data. The first is the increase in quantity, which represents the success of market-oriented testing, proving that more people invest money to film and more viewers spend money to watch. The second is the increase in the number of film festival nominations, which represents the multi-dimensional recognition of creation and expression in the industry, and proves that more excellent teams and excellent directors are entering this field to make a living. This is the usual rule of unique tastes. A success will lead to a large number of followers. In this way, some top-notch ones are selected to form a unique taste. Director Johnnie To is the best in this track. The second highlight of
is the Douban score of 8.0 or above, almost all of which were concentrated in the first decade of the 21st century. After 2007, only "Wushuang" achieved 8.0. And please note that of these ten films, most of them are from the same team. Reflection of the Milky Way led by Johnnie To. Here is a topic: the opening of Hong Kong Galaxy Image. Many people may be familiar with him, but Johnnie To is the one who is often mentioned the most. Of course, all of this can be traced back to TVB and early Hong Kong movies, so I won’t go into details here. The third highlight of
is that in the past 20 years, in this type of movie, the cast team has not changed much. The most vulnerable ones are still the batch of Hong Kong stars 20 years ago, because in a sense, Hong Kong Stars are a group of actors, and they are one of the raw materials that form the unique Hong Kong flavor.
For example, Lin Jiadong . Ten years ago, he was the calm and courageous Kwong Zhili in "Chill".
15 years ago, he was a Dongguan boy who crossed the railings and was the God of War in the hearts of the gangsters. 20 years ago, he didn't know until he finished acting that he was also an undercover Sir. There are many actors like Lin Jiadong. Together, they have fulfilled our future. Let me give you another review. It may be a bit off topic, because I suddenly discovered it. Those Hong Kong film buddies who once impressed us so much were many years ago. Five years ago, there was the lame where good and evil are intertwined, there was the highly intelligent gangster Ashin, and there was the charming Li Jiajun. There is the calm and courageous Sir Liu. Those who are about ten years away from us include Ah Wei played by Zha Zhahui, Zhiwei who walks with murderous intent, ruthless Tony, genius detective Chen Guibin, and drug lord Lin Kun who eats caviar regardless of the price.
15 years away from us, there is a brother with a bad temper, a plane that fights on the street, Jimmy with an extraordinary brain, a fat policeman in the PTU, faucet stick parallel import is Dumbledore, and there is a simple appearance and a treacherous heart. Weird Brother Le. Which ones are about 20 years away from us? There is the charming A Zu, the intelligent A Feng, the affectionate Ah Lai, the Liu Jianming who has to pay back sooner or later, the Chen Yongren who wants to be a good person, and the Ni Yongxiao whose godfather is a shadow. They who are more than 25 years away from us can basically be called intangible cultural heritage , the crow who flipped the table, the pheasant who is not afraid of death, the nagging Dasha, Causeway Bay the handler Haonan,
and the extremely handsome one. Brother Ma.Did you find that they are all happily transformed into our memories? Today's Hong Kong movie promotions often use a slogan called "Pure Hong Kong Flavor".
returns to the opening topic. What is Hong Kong flavor? My personal answer is that a Hong Kong chef uses unique cooking methods to cook exclusive raw materials in a personal style. Finally, let me make it clear that Hong Kong flavor is a big topic, and using Hong Kong gangster crime movies as an example is just a glimpse of what is happening, nothing more.
