Guys! "The Fortress of Kowloon Walled City" Swept the Hong Kong Film Awards, but Hong Kong Films Are "Clearing Inventory"
家人们，第 43 届香港电影金像奖落幕啦！《九龙城寨之围城》简直杀疯了，一举拿下 9 项大奖，风光无限。同一届里，《破・地狱》也超厉害，票房超 1 亿港币，还入围角逐。这届金像奖强片云集，可热闹了，但背后却藏着港片的隐忧。
Guys, the 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards have come to an end! "The Fortress of Kowloon Walled City" dominated the awards, winning 9 awards and stealing the show. In the same session, "The Last Dance" was also outstanding, with a box office of over 100 million Hong Kong dollars and was shortlisted for the competition. This year's Hong Kong Film Awards had a strong lineup of films, which was very exciting, but there were hidden concerns behind it.
Why Did "The Fortress of Kowloon Walled City" Defeat "The Last Dance"?
这两部电影要是在不同年份，估计都能拿最佳影片。它们票房都超厉害，《破・地狱》还登上香港影史华语片票房第一名呢。《九龙城寨之围城》动作戏超燃，《破・地狱》感情戏超动人。但《九龙城寨之围城》重现了九龙城寨，唤起了大家的情怀，所以最终拿了大奖，感觉就像是给往昔港片的一封情书。
If these two films were in different years, they would probably both win the Best Film award. Their box office performances were outstanding, and "The Last Dance" even ranked first in the box office of Chinese-language films in Hong Kong film history. "The Fortress of Kowloon Walled City" had thrilling action scenes, while "The Last Dance" had touching emotional scenes. However, "The Fortress of Kowloon Walled City" brought back the Kowloon Walled City, evoking people's nostalgia, so it ultimately won the xhs.douyinwh.com grand prize. It's like a love letter to the Hong Kong films of the past.

金像奖典礼向来星光熠熠，这次徐克和施南生获得终身成就奖，林青霞颁奖，真的太有回忆杀了！他们合作的电影都是经典。但颁奖现场也有尴尬搞笑的瞬间，《九龙城寨之围城》剧组有人拿叉烧饭进场，被主席制止，全场哄堂大笑。还有缅怀时刻，大家一起纪念逝去的影人，真的很催泪。
The Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony has always been star-studded. This time, Tsui Hark and Nansun Shi won the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Brigitte Lin presented the awards. It was really nostalgic! The films they collaborated on are all classics. However, there were also embarrassing and funny moments at the award ceremony. Someone from the crew of "The Fortress of Kowloon Walled City" brought in a plate of barbecued pork rice and was stopped by the chairman, causing the whole audience to burst into laughter. There was also a memorial moment when everyone paid tribute to the deceased filmmakers, which was really tear-jerking.
2025 年港片路在何方？库存片好多！Where Is the Future of Hong Kong Films in 2025? So Many Films in Inventory!
金像奖结束了，港片还得继续在市场上打拼。盘点一下发现，港片库存片超多！像《怒火蔓延》《酱园弄》《风林火山》等等，有的都拍了好几年了还没上映。一方面是疫情影响，另一方面是出品方在挑档期。而且主演大多是古天乐、梁家辉这些老面孔，新人很难有机会。
After the Hong Kong Film Awards, Hong Kong films still need to continue to strive in the market. After taking inventory, it's found that there are so many films in inventory! Such as "Blaze of Wrath", "The Case of Jiangyuanlong", "Fenglin Volcano", etc. Some of them have been filmed for several years but still haven't been released. On the one hand, it's affected by the pandemic. On the other hand, the producers are choosing the release schedule. Moreover, most of the lead actors are familiar faces like Louis Koo and Tony Leung, and it's hard for new actors to get a chance.
港片要想变好，得靠新力量！For Hong Kong Films to Improve, They Need New Blood!
港片现在真的到了关键时期，一边要想办法让库存片上映，另一边得给新导演、新演员机会。毕竟以后港片的未来是要靠年轻人的。希望港片能顺利完成新老交替，重新找回以前的辉煌呀！
Hong Kong films are really at a crucial stage now. They need to find ways to release the films in inventory on the one hand, and give opportunities to new directors and actors on the other hand. After all, the future of Hong Kong films depends on the younger generation. I hope Hong Kong films can successfully complete the transition between the old and the new and regain their former glory!
