On 22/0, a news from the Hong Kong film industry shocked many fans. At the Spring Dinner of the Hong Kong Film Workers Association, the famous movie star Louis Koo broke the news, bluntly saying that the Hong Kong film industry has entered an unprecedented "ice age", even if he took the initiative to cut his salary, no one is still willing to invest in film projects.

Louis Koo said solemnly at the dinner: "We have been making a film for two years, and this year we have changed the name to 'Shoot and Stay', which is to hope that everyone can shoot and stick to their posts in the bad economic environment, and continue to shine for Hong Kong films." He admits that as a member of the industry, he has taken the lead in cutting salaries, but unfortunately, this has not changed the cold attitude of investors towards the film market.

"It's not a question of salary cuts, it's that no one is investing at all." Gu Tianle's words revealed helplessness. He said that in addition to trying to find new ways out and negotiating with the government on behalf of the industry, it is also imperative for actors to reduce their salaries so that they can get through this difficult period together.

And another actor, Liu Qingyun, was also revealed to have lowered his salary for the sake of performance. The producer of the movie "Dad" revealed in an interview a few days ago that Liu Qingyun, who had just won the Asian Film Award for the film, took the initiative to reduce the salary when taking over the film. Louis Koo expressed his resolute support for this, and sighed: "It is certain for actors to reduce their salaries, and even if they reduce their salaries, they may not be able to film." ”

However, even if top actors like Louis Koo and Liu Qingyun are willing to reduce their salaries, the current situation of the Hong Kong film industry is still worrying. Recently, a number of Hong Kong actors have been exposed to change careers to survive. TVB actor Shen Zhenxuan was encountered by many netizens to drive an online car-hailing service, and actor Liang Jiayong, known as the "TVB queen grandmother", even set up a stall in a shopping mall to sell goods.

Tian Qiwen also described at the dinner that the current film industry has entered an "ice age", and he broke the news: "The field staff delivers takeaway during the day and comes to do chores at night, just to eat for mixed food!" Someone drove an Uber, and even the gaffer went to sell insurance. These words raise concerns about the future of Hong Kong's film industry.

In response to this phenomenon, Louis Koo said: "For the time being, no business owner has asked me for help, but I know that many people have changed careers. Changing careers is to get through this time, because after all, to live, this is something that will happen. But if you really love filmmaking, you have to stick with it. His words not only reveal his helplessness about the current predicament, but also reveal his firm belief in the film industry.

Hong Kong films were once glorious, but now they are in such a predicament, which is really embarrassing. I hope that in the future, more investors will see the potential of Hong Kong films and are willing to lend a hand to help Hong Kong films get out of the "ice age" and regain their former glory.
