When the Hollywood blockbuster "The Rise of the Scarlet Ball 4: A New World" hit the world, the Hong Kong film work "Besieged by the Kowloon Stronghold", which had been released for more than two weeks, was quietly staging a turnaround battle.
It not only surpassed the works of the same period at the box office, and won the box office champion in the weekly list at one fell swoop, but also achieved a magnificent counter attack on the public praise, and reshaped a new legend of the film and television market.
From an unpopular film project to becoming a box office champion, the success of "Besieged City of Kowloon City" is not only a commercial miracle, but also a loud declaration of Hong Kong's film strength. After experiencing numerous challenges and difficulties, this film shows the world the unique charm and creativity of Hong Kong films.
Since the beginning of the millennium, Hong Kong Film has declined, and Hong Kong Film has been on the way to sunset. This has been an endless argument in the mainland, and the production of year after year seems to prove the "correctness" of this argument.
However, Hong Kong Film, just like an immortal cockroach, can always give a hint of sunshine in a desperate situation: after the millennium, Chow Xingchi's Kung Fu, Liang Chaowei's Infernal Affairs, 10 years later, there will also be Chasing the Dragon. Even 20 years later, Hong Kong Film, after being continuously sung down for more than 20 years, has also produced works such as Anger, Serious Case, and Nicholas Tse has also become the "successor of Hong Kong Film" The same exists.
After "Anger, Serious Case", Hong Kong Film fell into silence again as if its spirit had been taken away. It was originally thought that "Anger, Serious Case" was just a reflection of Hong Kong Film.
But it never occurred to me that "Besieged by Jiulong Stronghold", which partnered with Hong Jinbao, Ren Qixian and other "old gang dishes in Hong Kong", was no less wonderful than Nicholas Tse's "Anger · Serious Cases", and even better in story line and visual impact.
This visual effect also won the market and reputation for the play.
The performance of "Besieged by Kowloon Stronghold" is particularly eye-catching. It is not only never expected to counter attack the Japanese crown, but also dominates the weekly crown. Judging from the current trend, "Besieged by Kowloon Stronghold" has reached 500 million at the box office, and continues to lead the box office list without any problems.
Its success broke many records, but also challenged the audience's understanding of traditional action films. Whether it is the exquisite performance of the actors or the high burning fight scene without urination, the audience has rekindled their love for classic action films, and also let the mainland audience see the profound heritage and uniqueness of Hong Kong films in a real sense.
The success of this film has undoubtedly had a profound impact on the entire film and television market: the mainland market, which has always boasted of vast land and abundant resources and fully understood the audience's needs, will still be defeated when faced with the real "expert attack" of Hong Kong Film.
As long as it caters to the market and the audience, the so-called "weight-loss film" can also sell in the sky high market, but it is a "capital carnival". No matter how well it is publicized, it has no good foundation and no effect.
The current market is like this. As long as it is a masterpiece, even if there is no overwhelming publicity, there is also a large amount of "tap water" injected into it, so that the works will not lie in every corner.
It is worth mentioning that, after the popularity of this work, the internal entertainment market can understand a truth that as long as a good film is made, it will certainly make a breakthrough.
At the same time, the success of "Fortress Besieged by Jiulong Stronghold" also demonstrated a truth: the so-called decline of Hong Kong Film is just the self modesty of Hong Kong Film people. If Hong Kong Circle is really willing to polish a work, it is still easy to produce high-quality works.
