In June this year, Ziwudu Internet Cafe, located next to Qingdao University of Science and Technology in Shandong Province, opened its doors on the first day after its transformation and upgrading into an Internet Cafe. On the opening day, the Internet users were full, which made Wang Xiaodong, the owner of the Internet Cafe, happy.

Wang Xiaodong told reporters that he has been engaged in the Internet cafe industry for more than ten years. In the past, the illegal operation of Internet cafes was serious, security accidents were frequent, and the overall image of the industry was bad. "Two years ago, the Laoshan District Government of Qingdao issued relevant policies to promote the transformation and upgrading of the Internet service industry." Wang Xiaodong recalled that in 2014, the district government introduced two chain Internet cafes, Shanghai Wangyu Network and Beijing Bayou Network. Their spacious and clean environment, the service function of Internet cafes and coffee bars, and the standardized, branded and professional operation mode brought a lot of impact to local Internet cafes.

"Dark and noisy, malodorous, is people’s main impression of Internet cafes, so we must first guide Internet cafes to change the environment. For the first time, the regulatory authorities regard brightness and neatness as a requirement for the whole industry, and encourage them to pay attention to the upgrading of the online environment when preparing for renovation, so as to make it a bright, elegant and open public cultural place. " Wang Shaomei, director of the Cultural Press and Publication Bureau of Laoshan District, said that through active guidance and nearly two years of practice, the online service industry in Laoshan District has presented a new scene.

"In addition to improving the environment, the regulatory authorities also encourage Internet cafes to take advantage of their advantages and cooperate with various education and training institutions and other service units to carry out community education and training, online purchasing, remote consultation and other services." Wang Shaomei said that the regulatory authorities and Internet cafes explore special operations together, and some organize e-sports, book corners and chess competitions. Some open leisure stations, providing online coffee, leisure snacks, reading books and newspapers, etc., expanding consumer groups and enriching cultural consumption.

"I prefer this internet cafe model. Now I have time to sit inside with my friends for a while, and the environment is bright." Feng Li, a college student who often spends money in Ziwu, said.

In the first half of 2016, about 80 Internet service enterprises in Laoshan District were transformed and upgraded in the whole industry. Internet service places began to be combined with online competition, and virtual reality equipment and manufacturers gradually entered the Internet service places, seeking win-win cooperation and becoming a new driving force for the development of the industry.

People’s Daily Online, Beijing, October 8 (Chen Ziyuan) Today, the National Health and Wellness Commission held a press conference to introduce the "seasonal solar terms and health" and answer media questions.

At the meeting, Chang Zhaorui, a researcher at the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that discomfort symptoms such as cold, cough, vomiting and diarrhea after the "Eleventh" holiday may be caused by factors such as weather changes, crowd gathering, eating problems, and disrupted life schedule. Chang Zhaorui suggested that for the above symptoms, first, pay attention to rest, ensure adequate sleep and help the body recover. The second is to drink plenty of water and eat lightly. The third is symptomatic treatment to relieve symptoms. The fourth is to monitor the symptoms. If the symptoms get worse or last for a long time, it is recommended to seek medical advice in time. If you are diagnosed with respiratory or intestinal infectious diseases such as influenza and norovirus, you should try to avoid going to crowded places to reduce cross-infection.

Chang Zhaorui pointed out that young children and the elderly are the key groups in the prevention and control of respiratory infectious diseases. On the basis of maintaining good personal hygiene and healthy lifestyle, the following measures should be strengthened: First, for respiratory infectious diseases that can be prevented by vaccines, timely vaccination should be carried out according to immunization procedures. Second, in the season of high incidence of respiratory infectious diseases, it is recommended that the elderly and young children try to avoid going to places with closed environment and crowded people. If they really need to go, they should wear masks scientifically to reduce the risk of infection. The third is to strengthen the daily monitoring of the elderly and young children. If there are symptoms such as fever and cough, you should seek medical treatment in time according to the situation and use drugs scientifically and safely according to the doctor’s advice. During the medical treatment, patients, including accompanying personnel, should be well protected to avoid cross-infection. In addition, if there are patients with respiratory infectious diseases among family members, try to avoid close contact with other family members, especially the elderly and children.

　　Zhongxin. com, Chengdu, November 29th (Reporter Sun Zifa) — — The super-resolution lithography equipment project passed the acceptance test in Chengdu on the 29th. As one of the important achievements of the project, China scientists have successfully developed the world’s first ultra-resolution ultraviolet (i.e. 22nm @ 365nm) lithography equipment with the highest resolution, and formed a brand-new nano-optical lithography process route with completely independent intellectual property rights.

　　Researcher Luo Xiangang, director of the Institute of Optoelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and chief scientist of the super-resolution lithography equipment project, said that in 2012, the institute undertook the development task of super-resolution lithography equipment, a major national scientific research equipment project. After nearly seven years of hard work, without foreign mature experience to learn from, the project team broke through key technologies such as high uniformity lighting, super-resolution lithography lens, nano-resolution focusing and gap measurement, and ultra-precision, multi-degree-of-freedom stage and control. The development of the first UV super-resolution lithography equipment with the highest resolution in the world is completed. It uses a light source with a wavelength of 365 nm, and the maximum line width resolution of a single exposure reaches 22 nm (about 1/17 exposure wavelength). On this basis, the project team also combined with the supporting processes such as high aspect ratio etching and multiple patterns developed by the super-resolution lithography equipment project to realize the processing of feature size patterns below 10 nanometers.

　　The first ultra-violet super-resolution lithography equipment with the highest resolution in this world is developed based on surface plasmon super-diffraction, which breaks the traditional route pattern that the resolution of traditional optical lithography is limited by the wavelength of light source and the numerical aperture of lens, and forms a brand-new technical route from principle, equipment to process, with completely independent intellectual property rights, and provides manufacturing tools for the leap-forward development of revolutionary strategic fields such as metamaterials/hypersurfaces, third-generation optical devices and generalized chips.

　　Acceptance experts believe that all technical indicators of the super-resolution lithography equipment successfully developed by Zhongke Optoelectronics meet or exceed the assessment indicators specified in the implementation plan, and the key technical indicators have reached the international leading level in the field of super-resolution imaging lithography. In principle, the project breaks through the diffraction limit of resolution, establishes a new research and development route of high-resolution and large-area nano-lithography equipment, bypasses the technical intellectual property barrier of foreign high-resolution lithography equipment, realizes the innovation of China’s technological source, and develops super-resolution lithography equipment with independent intellectual property rights and controllable technology, which is also the first ultra-violet super-resolution lithography equipment with the highest resolution in the world.

　　At the same time, a series of nano-functional devices, including large-aperture thin film mirror, superconducting nanowire single photon detector, Cherenkov radiation device, biochemical sensor chip, super-surface imaging device, etc., have been prepared by using the successfully developed super-resolution lithography equipment, which verifies the processing ability of the nano-functional devices of the equipment and has reached the practical level.

　　The super-resolution lithography equipment project of Zhongke Optoelectronics Institute has published 68 papers, and at present, it has been authorized 47 national invention patents and 4 international patents, and has trained a super-resolution lithography technology and equipment research and development team. Luo Xiangang said that the Institute of Optoelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences will further increase the research and development, popularization and application of functional diversification of super-resolution lithography equipment to promote the development of related fields in the country.

Fujian tulou, which is distributed in the mountains in the west and south of Fujian, is famous for its unique architectural style and long history and culture. Fujian Tulou came into being in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. After the development in the early and middle Ming Dynasty, it gradually matured in the late Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and it has continued to this day. Its shapes are round, square, oval, arc and so on.

According to Korean media reports, after 24 years of continuous expansion, emart (e-mart), a large discount supermarket owned by Shinsegae Group of South Korea, began to streamline its business, and recently said that it would completely withdraw from China by the end of this year.

Emart pointed out that due to the poor performance, the company has decided to close all the six remaining stores in the China market.

After years of huge losses, e-mart finally came to an end.

It is reported that emart has been losing money in China market for many years. As early as 2011, the loss of emart in China market has exceeded 100 billion won (about 88 million US dollars). In the next four years (2012-2016), due to the rising operating costs and weak market demand, its accumulated losses reached 150 billion won (about 133 million US dollars), reaching the point of "unable to survive".

According to public information, emart first entered the China market in February 1997, and opened the first "e-mart" supermarket in Shanghai. Later, it opened more stores with Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Tianjin and Beijing as the centers. At that time, it was announced that it would open 1,000 stores in China. By 2010, its total number of stores in China reached 27.

(e-mart Supermarket, which was once lively)

However, at this point, e-mart supermarkets can no longer open.

In 2011, the development of emart in China market suffered from "Waterloo", and 12 stores were closed at one go. By 2014, the number of its China stores has been reduced to 10; There were only 7 in November 2016; In March this year, it was announced that there were only six stores in the Old Ximen District of Shanghai. Today, the last six companies can’t keep it, and they will be evacuated one after another this year.

At present, there are 7 stores that can be selected when logging in to official website, China, e-mart, including Shanghai Laoximen Store, but the whole website is in a state of almost no maintenance. No matter which store you choose, the page display will be the same. Except for the two channels of "Poster Commodities" and "Store Promotion Commodities", the two channels of "New Commodities" and "e-mart Special Sale" are completely blank.

(e-mart, China and official website)

(Some channels in official website, e-mart are completely blank.)

In addition, the focus map on the homepage of the website also shows the publicity page of the 20th Anniversary Celebration (April 19th to May 2nd). Because this year is the 20th anniversary of the opening of Quyang Store in e-mart. However, this time seems a bit bleak, and the 20th anniversary has also become the "drama ending day".

Internal and external factors doomed this tragedy?

Looking back on the development of emart in China market, it seems that both internal and external factors doomed the closure of e-mart supermarket.

"Korea Economic Daily" concluded: e-mart Supermarket has never been successfully established, one of the important reasons is the poor geographical location of the store, which is attributed to its late entry into China. At the same time, compared with other retailers, e-mart’s prices and goods are not competitive. This is the failure of its own business strategy.

In addition, it is an indisputable fact that the format of China’s hypermarkets has entered a "downhill" several years ago. In recent years, the adjustment of store closing and transformation has been the main theme of this industry. In addition to the frequent news of store closing by local merchants in China, foreign giants such as Carrefour and Wal-Mart are also constantly "slimming down", and Lotte Mart, a Korean compatriot of emart, has also completely withdrawn from China this year.

An insider pointed out that, in fact, from the perspective of the whole retail industry, the market is increasing, and the situation of each format and each enterprise is different. "Those enterprises with high level of refinement, strong innovation ability and rapid transformation and upgrading will get out of the predicament faster, and vice versa."

Obviously, for so many years, emart seems to have never found the crux of its difficulties in the China market. Or, it has found the crux, but it has been unable to save it.

However, despite repeated defeats in China, in recent years, emart’s expansion in the whole overseas market is still very positive. When it announced its complete withdrawal from the China market, its officials mentioned that the company would shift its focus to fast-growing markets such as Viet Nam and Mongolia.

Previous media reports have pointed out that emart began to export to the Philippines in January this year, opened up the Japanese market in March, and entered the UK in April. Since then, the company plans to enter Thailand, Uzbekistan, Russia, the Netherlands and other places one after another. The goal is to earn more than 100 billion won (about 86.5 million US dollars) in overseas markets by next year.

It is not difficult to see that finding a way out in other countries may be an important measure for emart to make up for the market failure in China.

Change your skin and stay in China

It is worth noting that in recent years, under the background that all kinds of overseas supermarkets have entered China through e-commerce channels, emart can’t give up this fat piece of China market after all. Although all offline stores (e-mart Supermarket) will be closed soon, its online business (except official website, China) is still going on, but it has changed into a cross-border e-commerce mode.

It is understood that in 2015, when the offline business was "gone", emart caught up with the enthusiasm of cross-border e-commerce and chose another way to enter China: in July 2015, it joined hands with Netease Koala, and in October 2015, it settled in Tmall International to open the "emart official overseas flagship store".

At present, its business in Tmall International and Netease Koala is operating normally. When we open the official overseas flagship store of Tmall International emart, we can see that it provides goods to China consumers in two cross-border e-commerce modes: "overseas direct supply" (that is, overseas direct mail) and "bonded warehouse delivery", covering nine categories, including personal care, food and beverage, skin care and beauty, household daily use, kitchen appliances and maternal and child products. In Netease koala search "emart", you can find 59 products, all of which are self-operated by Netease koala.

According to previous media reports, Cui Yu, vice president of emart’s parent company, New World Group, publicly said in 2015: "We have a hard time in the offline market in China, but the development possibility in the online market in China is growing."

He pointed out that entering the e-commerce market in China is the latest move of emart to adjust its global asset portfolio, and said that "Korean offline consumers+global online consumers" will become the new strategic direction of global layout of emart in the future.

In fact, after staying in the China market through cross-border e-commerce, emart did taste some sweetness.

In double 11 in 2015, emart, who just settled in Tmall, was ranked 13th in the TOP20 list of pre-sales of Tmall international stores with a total amount of 8,157,740 yuan. But also take this opportunity to launch a number of self-owned brands in double 11.

In Tmall International, emart’s official overseas flagship store, as a representative business of "Korea Pavilion", has gained a lot of exposure opportunities. It is not difficult to find that the sales of its products are relatively hot by opening the product page of its store — — The total sales of the five most popular products are 120,000+,70,000+,60,000+,50,000+and 30,000+,and the sales of other products are also higher among peers. In Netease koala, many emart foods and daily necessities are also among the popular products.

In addition, at the Tmall International Global Merchants Conference held on the 18th of this month, emart also entered the list of "Billion Dollar Clubs" officially announced by Tmall International (that is, merchants whose sales exceeded 100 million dollars), and cooperated with Chemist Warehouse, Costco, Macy’ S, Matsumoto Kiyoshi, Sainsbury’ S, Metro and others stood in the first camp together.

However, in recent years, few overseas supermarkets have really had the last laugh. Emart’s Korean compatriot LOTTE’s "despondent" withdrawal from Tmall in March this year is also a lesson from the past.

A senior practitioner once bluntly told Billion Power Network: "Few overseas businesses can deeply understand Ali’s complex ecosystem, and they don’t understand the operation logic of China e-commerce. A large number of enterprises are coming in, and the platform resources are not enough. In the end, it is inevitable to grasp the big and put the small. Many overseas merchants come to Tmall and I am afraid they will run with them in the end. "

Obviously, emart, who changed into a cross-border e-commerce bag and stayed in China, still faces many strong enemies, and the future development path is full of uncertainties. Whether this transformation can finally be achieved still needs to wait and see.

Photo of Rene Liu’s solo concert in Nanjing on April 28th, 2005. China News Agency issued a focus photo

　　After the concert of Taipei Dome ended on November 29th, rumors about Rene Liu’s withdrawal from the entertainment circle spread all the way from Taiwan Province to the mainland. On December 3rd, Rene Liu admitted that she was troubled by the rumors of quitting these days. In fact, the media misread some of her words. She would not quit the show business, and she would sing all her life.

　　Exit rumors begin with misunderstanding.

　　There are several "evidences" for the media to speculate that Rene Liu intends to quit the entertainment industry, including her blog message "How to start is difficult, and how to end is even more difficult", saying "This is the last time" at the end of the concert, and saying "This is my graduation concert" to Bobby Chen. Bobby Chen later said, "I hurt her. She was really tired and wanted to rest.".

　　Rene Liu said that she didn’t take this matter seriously at first and didn’t come out to clarify it. But these days, friends and performers have been calling to ask about the truth of this matter, which makes her realize that she must stand up and make a statement: she never said anything about quitting.

　　With regard to writing "how to start is difficult, how to end is even more difficult" on the blog, Milk Tea said: "I often say this sentence, and I think it is the same whether it is a concert, feelings or life. As a result, everyone misunderstood. "

　　At the end of the concert, I said, "This is the last time." Milk tea also explained the situation at that time. "I actually finished the performance that day, but the audience just refused to leave, so I had to come out again and say,’ This is the last time’, which actually means I can’t come on stage that night." As for Bobby Chen’s words, Milk Tea laughed that Brother Sheng quickly sent her a basket of flowers to apologize after seeing the report, saying that he had said something wrong.

　　The reasons for quitting are not convincing.

　　In addition to speculating that Rene Liu was going to quit the show business according to various signs, the media also analyzed the "three major reasons" that caused her to quit. One was a knee injury, the other was a lifelong event, and the third was that Golden Horse failed to make the shortlist.

　　For these three reasons, milk tea also laughed and overturned them one by one: "My knee injury actually appeared before this year’s concert tour. The doctor did say that my injury was serious, but at the same time he assured me that after the operation, as long as I recovered well, I could still wear beautiful high heels in the future. I think many artists have worked hard and found a good home at the same time. Just like Zhang Aijia, Xu Fan and Jiang Wenli, they have been working all the time, but their families are doing well. "

　　I heard that the failure to win the Golden Horse Award is also one of the incentives for media analysis. Milk tea shouted an exaggerated "OhmyGod": "I still have to win the Golden Horse Award for my lifetime achievement!"

Special feature of 1905 film network As of press time, Hong Kong films have grossed more than 67 million yuan in five days in mainland China.Previously, the film has made over HK$ 100 million at the box office in China and Hong Kong, surpassing the first place in the history of Hong Kong films made in Asia and Hong Kong. For the first time in a hundred years, the box office of local movies has exceeded 100 million, and a new milestone in the history of Hong Kong movies was officially born.

At present, the top three Chinese-language films in the box office of Hong Kong film history are The Bitch Lawyer and The Battle of Tomorrow.The above three films are the first and second works of directors, and these achievements seem to make Hong Kong film circles present a positive signal — — The rise of the new director has brought another batch of acclaimed and blockbuster new works.

Since the late 1990s, there have been many doubts about the decline of Hong Kong films. The expansion of the mainland market, the northward movement of local directors and the impact of streaming media have all contributed to the decline of Hong Kong films.

Is the Hong Kong film dead? The new directors are searching for the answer on the new road of development, trying to say "no" with painstaking efforts and achievements!

A new director from the transformation

In his early years, the director of "Poisonous Tongue Lawyer" wrote many classic films.

"I still think you are the best" director worked as a screenwriter for other works before directing his debut;He Juetian, the director of The Cloister of Justice, worked as a screenwriter and deputy director before he gradually waited for the opportunity to shoot The Cloister of Justice.ScreenwriterPainted Skin, The MagicianHe has served as deputy director for many famous directors for more than 20 years.Huang qingxunJust started to create the first director’s work.I’m Livin’it.

He was appreciated and won the Best Visual Effect Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards for three times before directing "Tomorrow’s Battle".

Or a screenwriter, or an assistant director, or production designer, or special effects design ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

What they heard on the set made them have a deep understanding of the post of director. In particular, posts closely related to famous directors are more likely to get corresponding guidance and support from communication. This has also created a long-standing "mentoring system" in Hong Kong’s director circles.

Fortunately, the Hong Kong SAR Government has further increased its support for new directors in recent years. As early as 2007, the Hong Kong SAR Government injected HK$ 320 million into the Film Development Fund, serving the First Drama Film Project, the Film Production Funding Plan, the Film Production Financing Plan and other film-related projects.

In an exclusive interview with 1905 Film Network last year, the director specifically mentioned "the first plot film plan". The program is divided into student groups and professional groups, and the winning scripts can be funded.

"Obsolete Festival", which was nominated for the 41st Hong Kong Film Awards earlier, is one of the beneficiaries. By June, 2022, the Fund had allocated a total of HK$ 217 million for 57 Hong Kong-made films, including 17 directorial debuts, such as Wai Lun Ng’s "Bitch Lawyer", "Make a Good Movie" and "Make a Good Movie".

The "first drama film plan" must be escorted by a professional producer. Many experienced directors have thus become "guiding lights" for new directors, continuing the fine tradition of Hong Kong’s directors to bring the old with the new. Like Why Jue Tian produced The Cloister of Justice and I’m Livin’it He produced for Huang Qingxun, Tung shing Yee also produced the first director feature film Diary of Youth for Zhuo Yiqian, one of the screenwriters.

Today, famous directors who used to occupy the forefront of Hong Kong’s box office have taken root in the mainland, so the younger generation of creators can have a wider space to play in the local market. In addition, countless award-winning senior directors are willing to give full play to their own advantages and cultivate fresh blood for the local market. The rise of the new director in Hong Kong can be described as the result of combining the right time and the right place.

Tell the story of China and Hongkong well.

The best director who won the Hong Kong Film Awards the most times once said that winning the award is not her ultimate goal, and it is her concern to gain the trust of investors through winning the award, so as to obtain film investment. Great directors such as Xu Anhua still need to worry about funds, and the situation faced by new directors is even worse. It is not easy to find investment, and it is extremely difficult to find a large amount of investment.

Weng Ziguang spent all the savings he had originally planned to buy a house for the producer "The Cloister of Justice", but he was still one million short of the filming cost. Later, the mysterious man made up the final payment, and the film finally started shooting as he wished.

The director’s first work "Flowing Water Out of Flowers" can be promoted smoothly, which is inseparable from the star’s willingness to join "zero pay".

Two new director’s works, Poisonous Lawyer and I still think you are the best, are lucky to be favored, but they are not high-cost productions. Controlling creative funds is the first threshold that new directors must face, and expensive action movies are often not their first choice.

Although action movies are the golden signboard of Hong Kong movies, some directors have made classic examples at low cost in the past, but the overall consumption of this type is large and the prospect of return is vague, which directly leads to the difficulty for new generation creators to get corresponding opportunities.

Apart from Huang Qingxun’s "Broken Net" and his co-production, which won investment support from the mainland, few new directors’ creations in recent years belong to the type of action crime.

Wai Lun Ng once admitted in a public interview that judging from his past experience, Jiang Zhiqiang knew that he was better at creating action movies, but Mr. Jiang still said that the budget of action movies was relatively high and the prospects were not clear, and asked him if he wanted to make a literary drama first.

Wai Lun Ng is a bit difficult to listen to the call, "really used to writing action movies".Finally, he agreed, and there was a "Poisonous Lawyer" with a legal theme. The director skillfully integrated the rhythm of his own action film into the angry words of the chief prosecutor and the barrister.

Investors are willing to support the creation of new directors, but they are not allowed to "do whatever they want". Therefore, facing the local market and telling the story of Hong Kong well has become the focus of the new director.

They are keen to observe social changes, pay attention to life, tap the memories of the times, and create films that deeply imprint Hong Kong. "Now many new directors are beginning to care about what happens in their lives and regard it as their own creative theme, which the previous directors will never shoot." He has repeatedly supported the creation of new directors.

Dim Lights focuses on the disappearing neon sign culture in Hong Kong. I’m Livin’it revolves around a group of Hong Kong people who are forced to stay in fast food restaurants because of the blow to their lives; I still think you’re the best, and the Hong Kong versions of The Tale of Superstar Cultivation are translated into the names of Fanxi Attack on the Heart and Ama You Yi The Second, which contain a strong Cantonese cultural atmosphere ….. Hong Kong characteristics are integrated into the light and shadow stories, which resonates with local audiences, and the new directors are full of romance and charm.

After several years of polishing a script, many new directors’ works have gained a good reputation.

The 7.7-point Bitch Lawyer, 7.4-point I still think you are the best, and 7.9-point Justice Corridor are all well-known works of Chinese movies in recent years. And many new Hong Kong actors have gradually entered the public’s field of vision with the creation of the new director, including those in "The Bad Tongue Lawyer", "I still think you are the best" and "The Story of Superstars", such as Jiang Tao and Liu Yingting.

Whether it is a director or an actor, it is always a good thing for Hong Kong films to have a rich reserve of filmmakers.

The market cannot be bypassed.

Commercial films have to face the market test, which is cruel and realistic.As of press time, the research institute predicts that the total box office of "Poisonous Tongue Lawyer" in mainland China is expected to exceed 173 million. Compared with the box office of the film in Hong Kong, this kind of achievement is not particularly outstanding. Being regarded as the "Zihua God"Wong Tze Wah; Dayo WongIt is difficult to show the box office appeal outside Greater Bay Area, and it is difficult for mainland audiences to resonate with a large number of localized expressions in the play.

The cultural difference between the two places is obviously the factor that leads to the completely different performance of the film market, and "Poisonous Lawyer" is not an isolated case affected by this.The Bad Tongue Lawyer, Tomorrow’s War and I still think you’re the best have all experienced a decline in word-of-mouth after being released in the mainland.

The former Douban score has dropped from 8.1 to 7.7, Tomorrow’s Battle has dropped from 6.5 to 6.1, and Still Think You Are the Best with a score of 8.0 was once the highest-rated romantic comedy movie in 2022, but the score was only maintained at 7.4. The longer it is released, the more comments it gets, but the word-of-mouth keeps declining, which reflects to some extent that these Hong Kong films may not reach the "expected value" of mainland audiences.

These films also indirectly illustrate the problem in terms of the box office difference between Hong Kong and mainland markets."Still Think You Are the Best", starring Wong Tze Wah, ranked third in the box office of Chinese movies in Hong Kong, with a total domestic box office of HK$ 77.66 million. However, the total box office in mainland China, whose market scale is dozens of times higher than that in Hong Kong, has just exceeded 100 million, only about HK$ 40 million higher than that in the local area.

Looking at the mainland market, the top three box office films in Hong Kong (1.329 billion) (1.314 billion) (1.312 billion) are classic Hong Kong-style action movies. "Eliminating Violence" directed by Ho Leung Lau, which won 538 million box office, belongs to this category. None of the above films broke into the top ten of the local box office, but they were deeply loved by mainland audiences. The difference between the two audiences’ keen viewing styles can be seen.

Looking back, although the success of "Poisonous Lawyers" in China has proved that the Hong Kong market has unlimited possibilities for the development of Hong Kong films. However, based on the creative perspective of the new directors in Hong Kong, if they want to compete for a larger market, how to balance the tastes of audiences around the world while telling a good story about Hong Kong is another major issue they need to face.
