"It's up to the audience to decide whether to start filming?" "Kennedy Road Murder"

(edited)

Huang Qiusheng, has he finally returned to the "bloody character" of the cult film era?

When I first heard that Huang Qiusheng participated in the "Kennedy Road Murder", my first reaction was to wonder if the style of this movie would be related to the similarly named "Broadcast Fans Murder"? This film is led by the new film director Zhao Luoni . With the theme and style of his past short films "My Career Plan" and "Public Housing Chao Wen", I thought he would be a star in "Guang". Elements with fans to "Ken".

Then I soon discovered that I thought too much about the "relationship" between "Ken" and "Guang".

In the pilot film of "Jian" released a few hours ago, the main axis of the film was almost presented in just over ten minutes: "Teacher Master" played by Huang Qiusheng , on the surface, made a living by teaching cars, but in fact, he was being used by rich people. Hong Kong is dominated by dark judges, killing rich people who are considered guilty by various means, and recruiting troops everywhere to beckon to the younger generation to join in, attracting young people with one-stop "guaranteed income, guaranteed license plate test, guaranteed to go upstairs", etc. join in. However, in addition to Huang Qiusheng 's righteousness and the banner of eliminating harm, what is his calculus on the other side?

The pilot film of "Jian" only goes here, and at the end of the film there is a suspicious group of Huang Qiusheng looking at the people locked in the narrow cage. I have to say that Zhao Luoni 's ability as a short film director can be said to be outstanding, because my feeling after watching the pilot film is: "What, then? What about the feature film?"

This goes to another part of creating a Hong Kong film. Zhao Roni decided that the cost of filming "Jian" will be settled entirely by online fundraising. The fundraising amount is 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is all or nothing - if it does not reach 10 million, the original case will be cancelled and a full refund will be made. This should be the first time in the Hong Kong film industry.

The public raising money to make a movie is quite new in Hong Kong , but it may be the only direction "Kian" can try. If new directors want to start filming in Hong Kong , unless they get foreign or Chinese capital to become a "co-production", most of them can only rely on the Hong Kong government's "Film Development Fund", which is only a few million dollars, and the application is by no means a non-starter. It’s an easy task, almost requiring “time, location, and people” – when applying, it is expected that there will be few competitors, and the materials should be close to the preferences of the fund members, and even the actors will be reviewed.

Judging from Huang Qiusheng 's remarks and stance in recent years, if "King", which takes Huang Qiusheng as the protagonist, really applies for the "Film Development Fund", I believe that the final result does not need to be described.

As for Zhao Luoni 's use of public funds to make Hong Kong movies, whether it can successfully create a precedent for the film industry, and whether we can see the completion of "King" on the big screen in 2023, depends on how many Hong Kong People, willing to do their part to support the independence and autonomy of the Hong Kong film industry.

"Kennedy Road Murder" is now publicly fundraising on Kickstarter, the fundraising period is about 5 weeks, and will end on the evening of October 24th.
