On the rooftop, Andy Lau raised his head slightly, with his hands behind him.
Tony Leung held a gun in one hand and aimed the muzzle at Andy Lau's Yintang hole.
, the scene where the two confront each other, has become a classic scene in the movie " Infernal Affairs ".
"Infernal Affairs" became a rescue work.
But it is also like a watershed. Before, it was a paradise for Hong Kong movies; after that, Hong Kong movies seemed to fall into the mundane world, never seeing the scenery and splendor of the past.
Once John Woo and violent aesthetics, Johnnie To and Galaxy Impression, as soon as they step into the new century, they all seem to have lost their vigor and aura.
Their fierce and uninhibited, personal style and narrative logic have suddenly become no longer vivid and arrogant.
Looking at the current Hong Kong movies, some people even worry about who will take the classes of Andy Lau and Louis Koo.
Indeed, from the perspective of the general environment of the Hong Kong film market, today is different from the past. Hong Kong movies have the feeling that the hero is no longer and the sun is dying.
However, looking back at the mainland film industry, how many young actors are able to take on great responsibilities and can support the Chinese film industry?
Newcomers in Hong Kong have no chance
For Hong Kong films, "stability" is the overriding factor, and "striving for success with stability" may be the core philosophy of Hong Kong film producers and directors.
There are many reasons for the decline of Hong Kong's film industry, but there is no doubt that at present, the mainland market is the most important "battlefield" for Hong Kong's films to achieve good results.
In order to ensure the domestic attendance rate of Hong Kong local films, it is necessary to use the strongest cast lineup for Hong Kong films whose film production is rapidly compressed and reduced.
Therefore, it is an extremely risky move for any major Hong Kong movie to use a newcomer to play the leading role.
This does not mean that there are no newcomers to Hong Kong movies.
You can take a look at today's TVB, isn't there a niche of potential stocks? Such as Wang Haoxin , such as Yuan Weihao , such as Chen Zhanpeng . How many movies have they made?
You must know that almost all the so-called familiar faces of Hong Kong movies have gone through the TVB stage.
such as Andy Lau, such as Tony Leung, such as Louis Koo.
But in the Mainland, TVB dramas have now become a collective program for a niche audience.
Therefore, the changes in the general environment have prompted Hong Kong newcomers to lack the opportunity to "show their prominence" in Hong Kong movies.
Mainland newcomers have no "shoulders"
For celebrities, traffic is a new thing that is so-called "success and failure and failure".
What makes young mainland actors different from newcomers from Hong Kong is that they may have the opportunity to appear in movies or even be the lead male lead.
However, it is difficult for them to have a brilliant performance and make everyone "impressive", of course, except for the existence of an inspirational character such as Yi Yang Qianxi .
To put it simply, a good movie needs actors, and actors need to successfully shape their characters and hold up the screen that is slowly unfolding, so that when it slowly ends, these moving characters will leave a deep impression on people. impression.
However, for the entertainment industry, "traffic is everything".
Movies must be watched offline in order to be included in the box office score.
Aside from "traffic", many small fresh meats in the mainland seem to have really lost their generous shoulders.
