Describing the protagonist's efforts to develop intelligence and create jokes, the representative works of the early dynasty included the series Broker's Pull, which was adapted from the popular novel Broker's Diary in the 1950s. Broker's Pull played by Zhang Ying can be described as a typical local film philistine, and the film has hit the nail on the head in describing all kinds of shopping malls in the 1950s. In the 1960s, Jian Qin directed "he is my brother" starring Xie Xian and Hu Feng, which further carried forward the drama of two bachelors chasing girls, and then followed suit, including the sequel "Colorful he is my brother" and "Dining with Meals". In the 1980s, New Art City gave the bachelor type the packaging of the times, and produced Chasing Girls and a remake of he is my brother. In addition, it is worth mentioning that bachelor films love to write about the protagonist's efforts to find money, which inspired the emergence of cheat films and gambling films later. Of course, the series of "Gambling God" and "Gambling Man" with Jing Wong at the helm are deeply influenced.

Group drama type hong kong comedy film daquan
A comedy in which a group of poor people share weal and woe and help each other, is undoubtedly inspired by the stage play Seventy-two Tenants, which has been put on the screen for many times in decades. In addition, it has also derived traditional situation comedies such as Fourteen Gangs on the First Floor, Downstairs Throttle, and Banquet of the Giants. The biggest drama conflict in the film is either exploited by the renter or forced to move by the owner. In the 1980s, the series "Prosperity is compelling" reshaped the long-lost neighborhood flavor with the life in the village. Later, the variation "Prosperity and Gold House" satirized the greedy face of unscrupulous real estate developers, while retaining the grassroots characteristics of "Seventy-two Tenants" in spirit. At one time, a lot of group dramas influenced the trend of New Year films, such as Eight Stars, Happy Family and Happy Flower Field. On the contrary, in the 1990s, the personal space became more and more spacious, the crowded space moved from the village to the office, and the situation was dominated by romance, among which "Lonely Men and Few Women" was naturally the masterpiece.

Wulitou Type Hong Kong Comedy Movie Collection
To create a joke in the form of a whimsical and irrelevant comedy performance, the process even ignores the plot and script, and makes people laugh purely by the actor's personal performance. This kind of "nonsense" comedy technique was created by Qiushui Yi, a generation of comedians in the 1950s. His words are humorous and his actions are ghostly, plus his short stature, which is full of comedy sense. Another stunt of Qiushui Yi is to accurately grasp the comedy rhythm, and he plays most of the dialogues. Qiushui Yi's representative works include Hsiao Lao Xiang, Laughing Stars Down on the Earth, Brokerage Pulling and Flying South, and so on.
Another pair of nonsense comedians are Sun Ma Sze Tsang and Tang Kee chan, who are also good at belly-popping, and are characterized by one who plays the fool and the other who is eye-catching. Their representative works include Two Silly People series and XX World series. In the 1970s, the Xu Shi Brothers basically continued the comedy style of Sun Ma Sze Tsang and Tang Kee chan. In the early days of Stephen Chow, he also imitated some impromptu comedy performance techniques, such as the use of catchphrases. The masterpiece is "A Comic Book Walks the World". The film performance is very poor, but it was brought back to life by Stephen Chow's sense of comedy and personal charm. This is also the masterpiece of Stephen Chow's "Wulitou" period. Unfortunately, due to the increasing scale of production in the later period, Stephen Chow became more and more stressed as a comedy superstar, but instead became cautious and got more serious.

Plagiarism Type Hong Kong Comedy Movie Collection
There are a lot of articles in the world, and many comedies in the early days copied Hollywood works, both in plot and content. For example, Sun Ma Sze Tsang and Tang Kee chan's every cloud has a silver lining copied Billy Huai's Passion, and Jinshan Shaoshao was adapted from the western film "Twist the Master's Hidden Treasure Chair". Xiao Fangfang's "The Jade Girl Thief" was copied from Godfrey-Sharpin's masterpiece "Stealing the Dragon to Turn the Phoenix". You OK I OK, which was produced in 1980s, was copied from the classic situation comedy Peach Apartment, Jackie Chan's Miracle was copied from the old Hollywood film Rich and Full of Flowers, and the photo of Ji Xing Gong Zhao came from The Rich Young Master. Playing truant is from Kindergarten Special Police, etc. However, in these adapted and plagiarized works, a certain degree of renovation has been added, adding a sense of local interest and comedy. Among them, playing truant is better than the original, and Miracle is Jackie Chan's most amazing masterpiece in acting and guiding skills so far!

Science fiction stunt type Hong Kong comedy film encyclopedia
Hong Kong movies have always been bad at sci-fi movies, but it is interesting that Hong Kong filmmakers have never given up the idea of making sci-fi stunt movies, and stunt and sci-fi elements have infiltrated into comedy movies. Among them, The Big Winter Melon and Two Fools Fighting in Space are the earliest sci-fi comedies in Hong Kong. Among them, The Big Winter Melon tells the story of Zhang Ying and Luo Yanqing, a rural couple, who came to modern cities from the early Republic of China to study pumping water because they found a magical gong. In the 1980 s, with the local stunt level taking off, science fiction comedies appeared from time to time.

Ghost Type Hong Kong Comedy Movie Collection
It is a major feature of Hong Kong-made comedy films to combine the scary elements and comedy elements of ghost films. From the surprised and happy style of "A Fool Encounters a Ghost", "Make a Big Scene" and "Two Fools Wandering in Hell" in Cantonese film era to the series of "Ghosting", "Scaring People" and "Scaring People" in Sammo Hung in the 1980s, the folk superstition tradition in China was performed in a dramatic way. However, sometimes the comedy style is too strong, and it will unconsciously cover up the play of the scary elements, which also causes the problem that Hong Kong ghost films are always more funny than scary.
