The population of Hong Kong is only 7 million. The number of people going to the movies in Chinese mainland every year is 654.38+0 billion. It is impossible for such a small market to support the film industry! Look at the current film market, in fact, British and French films have also declined. Because the population is not enough to support the market.
Times have changed.
There were no good movies in China, and American blockbusters couldn't be made. Naturally, Hong Kong movies are on the high side. Now there are so many online dramas every year, and there are also many China blockbusters. American blockbusters can be seen through the internet, and Hong Kong movies are naturally nothing.
The market has changed.
At that time, Hong Kong films could take the road of internationalization, because Korean films did not rise, the Japanese market was relatively open, and Southeast Asian markets could also enter, so Hong Kong films could form a virtuous circle. However, with the rise of Korean culture and Thai films, countries began to protect the domestic market, so the decline of Hong Kong films came. Moreover, Hong Kong has no strong local market to rely on.
4. Hong Kong has declined.
The rise of Hong Kong movies stands on the trend of the rise of Hong Kong. Hong Kong has declined now, so the decline of the film industry is conceivable.
The cost of movies has increased.
Hong Kong movies have a slogan called Ten Million Box Office Club, which means that a movie is very successful if it gets ten million box offices. According to industry rules, the box office, shooting and publicity expenses shall not exceed HK$ 3 million. Now 3 million Hong Kong dollars, even second-rate actors can't be hired. Therefore, after the 1990s, the shooting cost increased sharply, which led to the inability to maintain small-budget films in Hong Kong, and the decline of Hong Kong led to the northward movement of film practitioners and the suspension of Hong Kong filmmakers.
4. As a concept, Hong Kong movies gradually died out in the rising tide of China, while the concept of "Chinese movies" marked by the greater integration of Chinese writers in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and even Southeast Asia has gradually formed in recent years.
