Director: Wang Yu

Starring: Wang Yu, Luo Lie

Wang Yu, the chief disciple of the veteran martial arts film director Chang Cheh, directed and acted for the first time after his solo career. He became the box office champion of Hong Kong Chinese films in 1970 and set off the boxing kung fu movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan. trend.

The film tells the tragic story of a Chinese martial arts master played by Wang Yu who fights a Japanese samurai played by Luo Lie with an iron palm.

31/10/1971- 22/11/1971: "Brother Tangshan" HK$3.19 million

Director: Luo Wei

Starring: Bruce Lee

If Wang Yu, the former spokesperson for martial arts movies and a former swimmer, entered the kung fu movie industry just for fun, then this year a real martial arts master emerged, and that was Bruce Lee.

Former Shaw Brothers chief ministers such as Chow Man-wai and Ho Guan-chang recognized heroes and boldly cast the turtle Bruce Lee, who had been rejected by Run Run Shaw, to star in the film. As a result, the film became Golden Harvest's first film to break Hong Kong box office records and remain in film history forever. Kung Fu movie, far behind the second and third ranked films "Boxing" and "The New One-Armed Knife" starring Chang Cheh's twin stars Ti Lung and David Chiang.

In fact, the story of this movie is simple, and the director Luo Wei’s techniques are also old-fashioned. However, the soul of the movie, Bruce Lee, conquered all with his unique temperament and martial arts skills that other actors cannot match. people.

30/12/1972- 24/01/1973: "Across the River" HK$5.3 million

Director: Bruce Lee

Starring: Bruce Lee , Miu Kexiu, Luo Lishi

Before Bruce Lee starred in this film, Bruce Lee had already broken the box office record in Hong Kong film history with another masterpiece "Fist of Fury" at the beginning of the year with a box office of 4.43 million. This film takes things to a new level.

Although this is his first time directing, Bruce Lee's directing and scheduling skills are obviously better than those of Lo Wei, the director of his first two films.

It is worth noting that an important name appeared this year, that is the male protagonist in "The Warlord" directed by Li Hanxiang-Xu Guanwen.

22/09/1973- 22/10/1973 "Seventy-Two Tenants" HK$5.62 million

Director: Chu Yuan

Starring: Yue Hua, Hu Jin, Jing Li, Shen Dianxia, ​​He Shouxin, Zheng Shaoqiu

Mainland director Wang Weiyi once made a film of the same name in the 1960s. Chu Yuan, who was born in a film family, took the opportunity to localize this story. The result was a huge success, not only becoming the annual box office champion, but also setting a new record in Hong Kong film history.

Even Bruce Lee's masterpiece "Enter the Dragon" can only take second place. Li Hanxiang's romantic films are still very popular this year, and they complement Chang Cheh's masculine martial arts films. Among them, "Yi Le Ye" starring Xu Guanwen ranked fourth on the box office list.

It was also in this year that Bruce Lee passed away due to jealousy of his talents, leaving behind his unfinished work "Game of Death".

17/10/1974- 14/11/1974 "Double Star" 6.25 million HK$

Director: Hui Guanwen

Starring: Hui Guanwen, Hui Guanjie , Xu Guanying

Bruce Lee's death caused Golden Harvest to lose half of its fortune, but Zou Wenhuai, who was at the peak of his fortune at the time, quickly found another box office elixir - Xu Guanwen.

Coincidentally, Xu Guanwen, like Bruce Lee, switched to Golden Harvest because the conditions for cooperation proposed by Run Run Shaw were not accepted by Shaw. This film was also the first film by the three Hui brothers to set a new box office record. From then on, the Hong Kong film industry entered the era of Hui's comedy films. That year, the three brothers of the Hui family established the Hui Brothers Film Company.

In addition, Li Hanxiang, who has made Xu Guanwen famous in one hand, has not yet retreated from his romantic films. "Sexy Dogs and Horses" directed by him and starring Xu Guanwen ranked third in the box office list. However, this film is also their ’s last collaboration.

21/08/1975- 11/09/1975 "Genius and Idiot" 4.55 million HK$

Director: Hui Guanwen

Starring: Hui Guanwen, Hui Guanjie , Qiao Hong

There is no mystery, and they are brothers of the Xu family. At that time, no one in Hong Kong could compete with them.

This year, Liu Jialiang, who has been a martial arts instructor for many years, directed his first movie "The God of Fighting", which also achieved good box office results, ranking 7th.

16/12/1976- 14/01/1977 "Half a Category" HK$8.53 million

Director: Hui Guanwen

Starring: Hui Guanwen, Hui Guanjie, Hui Guanying

The Hui Brothers once again set a new box office record in Hong Kong film history, skipping 7 million and successfully crossing the 8 million mark. At that time, Hong Kong people had regarded going to the cinema to watch the Hui Brothers' movies every year as a A must do.

This film has a great status in Hong Kong film history and can be called a classic. The versatile Cantonese song of the same name written by the versatile Xu Guanjie for film history is still sung today.

31/03/1977- 06/04/1977 "Little Girl" 7.7 million HK$

Director: Bao Xueli

Starring: Dana , Liu Yong

For some reason, except for "Half a Category" released on New Year's Eve, the Xu brothers have no works released this year, so they have also become other filmmakers. But the championship-level talent is quite unexpected. I don’t know where it comes from. I only know that it is produced by Shaw Brothers.

"Fa Qian Han", which ranked second on the ticket list and earned more than 5.05 million, is very famous because its director is John Woo and the starring role is Xu Guanying, one of the Hui brothers.

It is also worth noting that Sammo Hung’s first self-directed and starring film "The Monk of Three Virtues and the Chung Rice" ranked sixth on the box office list.

03/08/1978- 23/08/1978 "The Contract" HK$7.82 million

Director: Hui Guanwen

Starring: Hui Guanwen, Hui Guanjie, Xu Guanying

The Hui brothers made a comeback and took the top spot on the box office list without hesitation.

The most important event in the film industry this year is not the release of another new film by the Hui brothers, but the fact that two films by an actor in succession have topped the box office charts, although they ranked second and second respectively. No. 8, but the actor's name is Jackie Chan, and the two movies are "Drunken Master" and "Snake".

17/02/1979- 07/03/1979 "Laughing Fist" HK$5.44 million

Director: Jackie Chan, Tsang Kong

Starring : Jackie Chan, Shi Tian

Jackie Chan's first self-directed and starred film won the annual championship as soon as it was released. Although the box office is still far behind the Hui brothers, it is still quite outstanding. His senior brothers Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao also performed well. After Yuen Woo-Ping made Jackie Chan famous with "Drunken Master" and "Snakehead", he collaborated with Sammo Hung in "Lam Sai Wing" and also achieved good results, ranking on the ticket list. Ranked fifth.

Xu Guanwen has no new works this year.

09/02/1980- 06/03/1980 "Junior Brother Goes Out" 11.02 million HK$

Director: Jackie Chan

Starring: Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao , Shi Jian

Jackie Chan's funny kung fu film directed and starred in. The technique is obviously much more sophisticated than the previous year's "Laughing Fist". The box office exceeded the 10 million mark for the first time, making Hong Kong film history. New blockbuster record.

It was also in this year that after consecutive successes, the arrogant Jackie Chan encountered setbacks in Hollywood and made bad movies such as "The Trench" that were neither well-received nor popular.

Another major event occurred this year that was enough to cause an earthquake in the film industry. That is, Mai Jia, Shi Tian, ​​and Huang Baiming established a new film company with the support of Golden Princess Company. Its name It's called --- Xinyi City.

New Art City, which had just started a business, was weak and lacked resources, but it secretly invited Golden Harvest's contract director John Woo to film the entrepreneurial work "Funny Times" under the pseudonym Wu Shangfei and achieved good box office results. At this time when John Woo was running out of skills, he recommended Tsui Hark to New Art City to join.

30/01/1981- 07/03/1981 "Modern Bodyguard" 17.76 million HK$

Director: Hui Guanwen

Starring: Hui Guanwen, Hui Guanjie, Hui Guanying

The Hui brothers have made a comeback, setting a new box office record. This film is also Hui Guanwen's last peak work. It is not that Xu's hero is waning, but that things are changing and a new era is about to begin.

This year, "Chasing Girls", "Ghost Riders" and "Happy Fairy Nest" produced by New Art City occupy the second, third and fifth places respectively in the box office list. After passing Shaw Brothers, we began to approach Jiahe.

During this year, another event that caught the attention of the film industry happened. A fat man who had been cheating and cheating on the TV station for a long time also followed his father's example and entered the film industry. He made his first movie in the film industry. In the gambling movie "Thousand Kings Fight Thousand Tyrants" involving gambling and drugs, the fat man's name is Wang Jing.

16/01/1982- 18/02/1982 "The Best Partner" HK$26.04 million

Director: Eric Tsang

Starring: Mai Jia, Xu Guanjie , Sylvia Chang

After a series of successes, New Arts City mobilized the entire company to make a big production. However, there was a lack of leading actors. Chow Yun-fat, who was originally optimistic about it, chose another film called "Blood and Sweat Money" movie. The Struggle 7 of New Art City (Mai Jia, Shi Tian, ​​Huang Baiming, Tsui Hark, Eric Tsang, Teddy Robin, and Shi Nansheng) used the elimination method to find Xu Guanjie and successfully hired him on the condition of 2 million in salary and Japanese port sales dividends. Passed by Jiahe and Xu.

As a result, a new record in Hong Kong film history was born. The box office exceeded the 20 million mark. If calculated in terms of attendance, it reached a terrifying 2 million people. To this day, no movie can break this mark. Record, all of this announced the official beginning of the New Art City era, and also the beginning of a new and heyday for Hong Kong movies.

Under the impact of New Art City's luxurious comedy movies, other types of kung fu movies, sword and martial arts movies, and comedy movies have all eclipsed. Even Jackie Chan, who returned to Hong Kong, continues to make kid-style funny action movies. "Master Long" of the route can only be ranked second.

It is worth noting that in addition to Jackie Chan, another kung fu superstar Jet Li has emerged. "Shaolin Temple" starring him and professional athletes from the mainland martial arts team is very popular in the mainland and overseas.

05/02/1983- 03/03/1983 "The Best Partner Shows His Magical Powers" HK$23.27 million

Director: Eric Tsang

Starring: Hui Guanjie , Mai Jia, Zhang Sylvia

"The Best Partner" achieved unprecedented success. Of course, New Arts City struck while the iron was hot and immediately launched a sequel with the original cast and crew. The result was equally brilliant, and it continued to be the box office champion.

However, the veteran Golden Harvest Company has also begun a major counterattack, with all its ace cards being used. Among them, the three brothers Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao are the core, and they have launched the "Five Lucky Stars" and Jackie Chan works brands respectively. The films they starred in, "Five Lucky Stars" and "Plan A", were also very popular, ranking second and third in the box office list respectively. Especially "Plan A", directed and starred by Jackie Chan, was an epoch-making action A classic film, it also heralds the official beginning of Jackie Chan's style.

During this period, singers such as Tam Wing-lin and Lin Zixiang also became the guarantee of movie sales. TV star Chow Yun-fat, on the other hand, continues to suffer from the reputation of being a box-office poison because he missed the New Art City movie.

Hui Guanwen, the box office king in the 1970s, has been absent one after another, and no new works have been released for several consecutive years.

26/01/1984- 22/02/1984 "The Queen's Secret Service" 29.28 million HK$

Director: Tsui Hark

Starring: Xu Guanjie, Mai Jia, Zhang Sylvia

The third episode of "The Best Partner" not only dominated the box office charts for the third time, but also broke the box office record again.

This year is still the year of New Art City. In addition to the top spot, it also occupied the second and fifth places with "Merry Christmas" and "Family Portrait". In third place is Jet Li's new film "Shaolin Boys" after "Shaolin Temple". Golden Harvest's highlight, "Food Truck," in which the three brothers Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao once again appeared, could only finish fourth.

The "Teppanyaki" launched by Xu Guanwen after a long break is still a hit, but it no longer has the domineering power it once had to dominate the world. His era has inevitably ended.

The Hong Kong film market was extremely hot this year, with 7 films in a row exceeding the 20 million mark. In terms of film companies, it is basically the two giants New Art City and Golden Harvest, plus Debao and a large number of independent production companies, while the former giant Shaw Brothers has basically ceased production.

10/02/1985- 08/03/1985 "Lucky Star" HK$30.74 million

Director: Sammo Hung

Starring: Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao

New Art City's "Best Partner" series created unprecedented success, but internal conflicts also arose. After the dispute, the "Best Partner" series was suspended and was directed by Shi Tian. The self-starred "Gong Xi Fa Cai" starred in the New Year film.

However, what Jiahe Company launched was the previously popular "Five Lucky Stars" brand, various entertainment elements and action designs of "Lucky Stars" created by brothers Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao. It was a step up from the previous episode, and the result was that it became the undisputed champion and set a new box office record, becoming the first Hong Kong movie to break the 30 million box office mark.

This year is the year of Golden Harvest and Sammo Hung. They are on full attack. In addition to the Lunar New Year film that beats New Art City, the third part of the summer "Five Lucky Stars" series, "Summer Lucky Stars", also dominates again. , in the autumn there will be "Dragon Heart" co-starring Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan, and the Christmas movie will be "Police Story", a desperate work directed and starred by Jackie Chan.

With such a lineup, the top four box office performers this year are of course the three brothers of Sammo Hung. Even if there is a fourth episode of "The Best Partner", it will be difficult to shake the punch of "The Seven Little Fortunes" Dominate the world. In addition, it is worth noting that the small-budget production "Mr. Zombie" launched by Sammo Hung not only grossed 20 million, ranking fifth in the box office list, but also officially created the "psychic action comedy" type of film represented by Lin Zhengying.

Jackie Chan once again entered Hollywood this year, but unfortunately it was still a disastrous attempt. The two parties collaborated on "Dragon Detector", which was neither fish nor fowl, and was neither well-received nor well-received in North America and Hong Kong. It was a hit.

In addition, Xu Guanwen and Hui Guanjie also starred in "The Wise and Brave Three Treasures" and "The Working Emperor" respectively. However, like New Art City, they can only look at Hong Pang's back and marvel. In 1985, no one could resist the powerful offensive of Sammo Hung and Golden Harvest.

02/08/1986- 01/10/1986 "A Better Tomorrow" HK$34.65 million

Producer: Tsui Hark

Director: John Woo

Starring: Ti Lung, Leslie Cheung, Chow Yun-fat

Talented people emerge from generation to generation. By 1986, a new generation of box office hegemons was born.

After the disastrous defeat in 1985, New Arts City learned from the pain and fought back. First, it relaunched its flagship "Best Partner" series during the Lunar New Year, and launched the fourth episode "Best Partner Saves the Poor Woman from a Thousand Miles Away". In the summer, a new episode of the "Happy Ghost" series, "Happy Ghost", was released. However, all of this was not as glorious as an unintentional movie, that is, Tsui Hark summoned John Woo who was sent to Taiwan. "A Better Tomorrow" stars the director, Shaw Brothers castaway Ti Lung and box-office poisonous Chow Yun-fat.

The film not only broke the box office record of Hong Kong movies in one fell swoop, but more importantly, it defeated Sammo Hung and Golden Harvest for New Arts City. Previously, Hong Pang successfully hit the box office in the Lunar New Year season with the big-production "Fortune". The fourth episode of New Art City's flagship "Best Partner" was canceled. This was also the first time that the series suffered a failure in the Lunar New Year season. Now "A Better Tomorrow" has defeated all opponents with an absolute advantage, and at the same time announced the birth of another superstar to the whole of Asia, that is Chow Yun-fat.

In addition to the craze for a series of hero movies set off by "A Better Tomorrow" and the whirlwind of Chow Yun-fat this year, there is also the battle between the two major companies, New Arts City and Golden Harvest. Surprisingly, Golden Harvest's Sammo Hung actually succeeded. The head coach of New Art City, Mai Jiahu, was hired to film the movie "The Best Lucky Star", which combines the two major brands of "Lucky Star" and "The Best". With these two people in charge, the film's box office is naturally good, and it still maintains a certain level of success. Xu Guanwen, who has great appeal, also made a new film "Chocolate", and Jet Li also had a new film "North and South Shaolin" after a long absence. However, in 1986, no movie could compare with "A Better Tomorrow".

Another shocking news this year was that Jackie Chan was seriously injured while filming "Brothers and Tigers" in Yugoslavia and his life was in danger. Fortunately, he was rescued in time and met a famous doctor, so Hong Kong did not lose another legend. .

21/01/1987- 19/02/1987 "Brothers and Tigers" HK$35.46 million

Director: Jackie Chan

Starring: Jackie Chan, Alan Tam and Rosamund Kwan

Jackie Chan was seriously injured during the filming of this film. After recovering from his injuries, he resumed filming. The difficulty of the action was not reduced at all. With his hard work and excellent production, he once again set a new box office record. In addition to this film, the sequel to "Plan A", which he directed and starred in, was also a great success and is not as classic as the first episode.

In 1987, apart from Jackie Chan, the world was dominated by Chow Yun-fat. Among the top 20 blockbuster movies, his works alone accounted for almost half. Unfortunately, the hastily produced sequel to "A Better Tomorrow" was far inferior. The first episode was a success, with mediocre box office and reputation. Director John Woo later did not even admit that it was his work. The other two films, "Prison" and "Dragon and Tiger" directed by Lam Ling-tung, were very popular and successful. The genre of prison and undercover movies was created, and for a while, it became a trend.

It was also in this year that eldest brother Sammo Hung retreated significantly. Although "Eastern Condor" produced by Da Duitou still maintained its standard, there were no new breakthroughs in entertainment elements and action design, and the box office did not If it can meet expectations, it will completely lose its ability to compete with Yichen Weekly.

Xi Guanjie's big-budget production "The Legend of Wesley" starring Xu Guanjie received mediocre box office and response. Like the "Best Partner" series, his era is already a hero in his twilight years. On the contrary, Debao's small-budget comedy "Rich and Rich" emerged like a dark horse and achieved box office success second only to Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-fat's films.

Tsu Hark and the film studio he established continued to maintain the three-high momentum of high production, high standards, and high box office. This year, in addition to the "A Better Tomorrow" series, he also produced the heart-stirring "A Chinese Story" ghost".

11/02/1988- 30/03/1988 "The Good News" 37.09 million HK$

Director: Johnnie To

Starring: Chow Yun-fat, Cheng Yuling , Huang Baiming, Feng Baobao, Jacky Cheung

New Art City's Lunar New Year movie has found a new selling point, and that is Chow Yun-fat. This is also the first time that Huang Baiming's independent comedy movie is scheduled for the Lunar New Year. As a result, the film has created a box office record for Hong Kong movies. New record.

The Lunar New Year festival is often a hotly contested period for major film companies. Of course, Golden Harvest has the works of ace Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao. This time they are showing "The Flying Dragon", and Debao is Continuing to launch the second episode of the "Wealth" series that made great achievements last year, "Wealth and Prosperity Comes Again". It's a pity that everyone has to give way in front of Chow Yun-fat who is at the height of his power.

In this year, Jackie Chan's "Police Story Continuation" still maintained a very high level and achieved the second best result of the year. The "Chicken and Duck Talk" in which the three Xu brothers reunited was also a hit, but this era no longer belongs to them.

14/12/1989- 17/01/1990 "God of Gamblers" HK$36.29 million

Director: Wang Jing

Starring: Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau , Wang Zuxian, Xiang Huaqiang

As the saying goes, if they are separated for a long time, they will be reunited, and if they are together for a long time, they will be divided. In 1989, the once glorious Xinyi City began to decline, and it was only one step away from falling apart. One of the three giants Although Wong Pak Ming was very successful in the Lunar New Year show in 1988, he lost the right to speak in 1989. In anger, he followed the example of Mai Jia and ran away, and together with Xu Guanwen and Gao Zhisen, he filmed "Family Carnival" and the big production of Xinyi City. The "New Best Partner", which regained its ace in the "Best Partner" series, played against each other, and the result was a resounding victory. Also in this year, Jackie Chan's "Miracle", which was shot with great effort and painstaking efforts, also achieved great success.

However, all these are eclipsed in front of a huge figure. Wing Sing Film Company, founded by brothers Heung Wah Sing and Heung Wah Keung, who came from San Ngee Ann, the largest gang in Hong Kong, loaned Chow Yun-fat to make this "God of Gamblers". Once it was released, it immediately dominated the world and no other film could rival it. Since then, the name of a company has appeared in the Hong Kong film market - Wing Shing, and that figure from behind is the image of the God of Gamblers created by Chow Yun-fat who never takes pictures from the front. This year, he also collaborated with John Woo on an important work, "The Bloody Heroes."

Four of the top 10 blockbuster films this year starred Chow Yun-fat, with Jackie Chan ranking second. The former big brother Sammo Hung has passed his prime and can no longer control the film market

1991: "The Dragon Back to School"

Director: Chen Jiashang

Starring: Stephen Chow, Zhang Min

Nothing to say, it’s still Stephen Chow’s one-man show.

What is a little unfair is that the box office of this shoddy film was higher than that of the top Hong Kong films of the same year, "Eagle Project", "Across the World", "The Lame Man" and "Once Upon a Time" a lot of.

Hong Kong movies have officially entered the era of 10% per 20%.

1992: "The Judge of the Dead"

Director: Johnnie To

Starring: Stephen Chow, Anita Mui

Breaks the highest box office record again (recently 50 million), it was also Stephen Chow's most prosperous year. Half of the top ten grossing films were his works, and he even broke box office records twice in a row with "Family Affair" and "The Trial". .

Hui Guanwen made his last blockbuster film "The God of Fortune" this year.

1993: "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance"

Director: Li Lichi

Starring: Stephen Chow, Gong Li

The continuation of Stephen Chow's star era, However, it has shown signs of retreat and the box office is not as good as before.

1994: "God of Gamblers 2"

Director: Wong Jing

Starring: Chow Yun-fat, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Cheung Min

Chow Yun-fat makes another comeback , the box office exceeded the 50 million mark, the first setback since the Stephen Chow era began.

I really wonder, how could this extremely bad movie by Wang Jing be so popular?

1995: "Red Zone"

Director: Tang Jili

Starring: Jackie Chan, Anita Mui

Jackie Chan, who has been silent for many years, reaches new heights It has a box office of more than 56 million yuan.

Jackie Chan’s era of large-scale Lunar New Year films has begun, and he even opened the door to Hollywood with this film.

Stephen Chow failed again. This year his New Year's film "Journey to the West" was neither well-received nor a box office hit, simply because of the depth of the subject matter which was difficult to understand.

Chow Yun-fat also bid farewell to the Hong Kong film industry and went to Hollywood after filming "Peace Hotel", which had an average box office this year.

1996: "Police Story 4: Simple Mission"

Director: Tang Jili

Starring: Jackie Chan, Wu Chenjun

Breaking the highest box office record again record (more than 57 million), Jackie Chan’s icing on the cake.

Although Stephen Chow has regained some momentum with "God of Cookery" and "Ouchi Secret Agent", he can no longer reach the heights of Jackie Chan.

1997: "A Good Man"

Director: Sammo Hung

Starring: Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan is at a low point, although this film is still It ranked first at the box office that year, but the box office is not as good as before.

Stephen Chow is also extremely mediocre, and it is difficult to regain his former courage in "97 Happy Events".

"God of Gamblers 3" put together by Wong Jing without Chow Yun-fat really insults the title of the film.

On the whole, Hong Kong films are getting worse and worse year by year.

1998: "The King of Storms"

Director: Liu Weiqiang

Starring: Ekin Cheng, Aaron Kwok

This film was produced more than 10 years ago The first non-biweekly movie to win the box office title.

Jackie Chan's "Who Am I", which showed his exhaustion, suffered another setback, but when the east is not bright, the west is bright. His Western movie "Rush Hour" was very popular in the United States.

Stephen Chow’s opportune work "One-stop Operation" is not even worth mentioning.

1999: "The King of Comedy"

Directors: Li Lichi, Stephen Chow

Starring: Stephen Chow, Cecilia Cheung

Stephen Chow finally leads the pack again, Although the film's box office was extremely average (more than 29 million).

The "Glass Bottle" in which Jackie Chan attempted to transform was shocking and made people sigh: "Brother Long is old, can he still love him?".

"Heroes of China", which Liu Weiqiang attempted to continue the glory of "The Wind and Cloud", failed to reach higher levels.

Hong Kong films this year are even more miserable.

2000: "A Single Man and a Widow"

Director: Johnnie To

Starring: Andy Lau, Sammi Cheng

The combination of Liu and Zheng Wudi appears Jianghu.

Jackie Chan's ambitious film "The Secret Agent", which strives to regain the Hong Kong market, is just about to go by the sunset.

2001: "Shaolin Football"

Directors: Stephen Chow, Li Lichi

Starring: Stephen Chow, Zhao Wei, Ng Mang-tat

Stephen Chow Nirvana , the box office set another record (more than 60 million).

Hong Kong movies failed to achieve the star-like rebirth that people expected.

Although Jackie Chan did nothing in the Hong Kong market this year, the box office record of his "Rush Hour 2" in the United States far exceeded that of blockbusters such as "Pearl Harbor" and "Jurassic Park 3". Extremely popular.

2002: "Infernal Affairs"

Directors: Lau Wai-keung and Mak Siu-fai

Starring: Andy Lau, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Anthony Wong and Eric Tsang co-starring the four best actors

Stars shine, a star-studded classic.

The film grossed HK$55 million at the box office, and Warner Bros. Pictures purchased the rights to remake the Hollywood version with an unprecedented sum of HK$13.65 million, with Brad- Pitt serves as the executive producer, and he has a great chance to play the role of Andy Lau in the film.

Starring: Andy Lau, Cecilia Cheung

Unique explanation of Buddhism Thoughts, alternative talking about movies.

2004: "Rhapsody"

2005: "Kung Fu"

Director: Stephen Chow

Stephen Chow still creates With Zhou going crazy, the box office hit another record high (64 million). However, Hong Kong movies have still not been able to regenerate as people expected.
