We've got to shoot and run," said Law, the stuntman, famous locally for a 1998 explosion on a downtown street, staged with his characteristic precision, that sent four vehicles into 360-degree corkscrew turns Borrowing 30 for a stunt he was coordinating was a snap A planned $6 Although he hopes to do more work in Hong Kong, Law said working on the mainland, where local authorities tend to hold absolute sway, can have its advantages Ditto for Chinese director Zhang Yimou's 2002 historical epic, "Hero Up until the mid-1990s, tiny Hong Kong was the world's third-biggest film producer, churning out some 300 films a year, with local box office averaging more than $170 million a year Some local stars have moved on to Hollywood; many more to China Having seen countless industries leave for the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong is loath to let yet another one go, especially one so glamorous Everything is done very quickly and so it's very shoddy," said independent filmmaker Kenneth Bi Moviemakers Hope for Hong Kong Revival May 7, 4:01 PM EST Bruce Law has made a career out of rolling flaming cars down mountainsides and staging spectacular explosions â€â€? in crowded Hong Kong Film researchers say the city's first local film, "Stealing a Roast Duck," was produced in 1909 by an American businessman and adventurer, Benjamin Brodsky And public service announcements on television feature dramatic street scenes that cut to the message: Support local films "I can move anywhere It's plunged ever further with the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, as residents have stayed home out of fear they might catch the virus in a crowded theater Who cares where they shoot the film? Who cares where the money comes from?" Law said Though Chinese-owned studios opened here in the 1920s, Shanghai-made films dominated until World War II, when filmmakers there fled to Hong Kong to escape wartime chaos and the Communist revolution Its dominance challenged by rival studio Golden Harvest, which was founded in 1970 by former Shaw Brothers manager Raymond Chow, Shaw Brothers shifted in the mid-1980s to more lucrative television productions Meanwhile, the number of films made locally has shrunk to about 100 The eclectic mix of kung fu, historical epics, police thrillers and comedies has nurtured some of Asia's biggest stars: martial arts legends Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" heartthrob Chow Yun-Fat and James Bond girl Michelle Yeoh "I just told my wife I'll need to spend the next few years outside Hong Kong," said 41-year-old Law, who earned a black belt in tae kwon do before getting into moviemaking In this city, that would be nearly impossible," he said It may be hard, but still the quality is good 4 million Film Guarantee Fund could help cash-starved independent directors like Bi We can only wait for a miracle Law Kar, now programmer for Hong Kong's Film Archive, and others working in the industry say local films are floundering mainly because they are usually put together with haphazard financing, lightning fast production and razor-thin budgets "Look at that street Even before SARS struck, rampant piracy of movies and the popularity of computer games had already lured many away from once packed cinemas â€â€? as elsewhere Filmmaking employs only about 6,000 workers in this city of 6 "If it goes on like this, Hong Kong movies are finished Now, he finds Hong Kong "too small" and is looking toward Hollywood A consortium led by Shaw Brothers is building a $100 million state-of-the-art studio and post-production facility dedicated to reviving the local industry For local crews, getting permits just to shoot a busy street scene can be tough Also, films shot here showcase Hong Kong as a destination for tourism and business And last year, the box office was an anemic $45 million Meanwhile, hits made in mainland China and elsewhere in Asia â€â€? especially South Korea and Thailand â€â€? are upstaging local films 7 million people, but the government estimates that the industry added $205 million to the economy in 2001 These days, though, he's usually doing those stunts in mainland China I can take my team with me A government-supported Film Services Office promotes the industry and promises help with expediting filming permits In 1959, Run Run Shaw and his brothers, sons of a Shanghai textile tycoon, moved their film studio from Singapore to its current location in Hong Kong's seaside Clearwater Bay Taiwanese filmmaker Ang Lee's 2002 hit "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," which won four Academy Awards, was filmed in various mainland locations "When Hong Kong movies were successful, many people came here to visit and to see film stars Hong Kong's movie industry has waxed and waned with the times But filmmakers here complain that the government does less for homegrown projects than for big overseas productions On location in the central Chinese city of Zhengzhou, the crew commissioned 200 taxis for a shoot In 2001, the studio sold its library of 800 Chinese-language films, the biggest in the world, to Celestial Pictures, a subsidiary of Malaysian media group, which is restoring the films for release on DVD You have to finish the sound, the music, the dialogue, the this and the that, this week " For its World War II epic, "The Great Raid," scheduled for a 2004 release, Miramax chose Shanghai as well as Queensland, Australia â€â€? to stand in for the Philippines " Law, one of Hong Kong's best-known stuntmen, got his start in the mid-1980s as a motorcycle rider in Chan's "Police Story" series and has worked in more than 200 films here, not counting television programs and commercials "The audience doesn't care But now, there's nothing like that anymore," action star Chan said during a recent appearance |
