Photo: The last three-stage film theater in Hongkong the completion of the official Chung Theatre Works: This theater has been around for many years, many elderly friends here as a chat gathering place, now closed, is equal to the elderly friends and a party less than a place.　　There are fewer open spaces, and I hope that government departments can make some resources and build some parks so that the old people will regain their own gatherings. ——— Youjianwang Hudeliang, the official Chung Theatre in the rear lane of Jordan, is the last pure three-level cinema in Hong Kong, affected by a 80% rise in rental space, the alternative film Court closed this month.　　To commemorate the impending loss of the industry, many Hong Kong people have set up special pages on the Internet to record the past years related to the Kwun Chung Theatre, as well as the Hong Kong people dedicated to the field to join the theatre to complete the final journey. Although the façade is small inside the face of embarrassment, old sofa, the so-called "Hong Kong last" official Chung Theatre, in fact, is only a screen and 103 seats, the audience is more than just a busy neighborhood. In other words, it is because of the types of films that this movie theater plays.　　Small screen, no fierce gun battles, no high-definition images, every day from 12:30 noon, the movie theater has been rolling play pillow play. Although the Kwun Chung Theatre is low-key, it is in fact only four blocks from Nathan Road, which is crowded with mainland visitors. In order to expand the volume of customers, this movie theater's advertisement is also affixed with "free line, long experience" and other ads.　　But in fact, this is going to the decline of the cinema, the real patrons are still a few blocks in the neighbourhood of the old. In fact, the Kwun Chung Theatre only has a slightly larger façade than the 7-11 convenience stores.　　The cinema, which has a history of nearly 20 years, still retains its old style today: Tickets are the pink ticket stubs of the mainland in the the 1990s, as well as artifacts on the shelves, while posters of the film are posted directly on the walls. Open the thick curtain, that is, into the cinema.　　When two young journalists from the south moved into a darkened theater, they seemed to break some sort of gas field in the theater, and the uniform, who had been engrossed in watching pornography, immediately looked up at the two of strangers who had come in.　　Indeed, on every seat in the theater, no exception is sitting on the elderly, the south are reporters to observe the observation, the youngest viewer is also up and down in 40 years, attendance has 80% up and down, several sitting in the front of the elderly, perhaps because of watching tired, began to nod his head nap. On the screen is a Hong Kong local production of the City class three film, watch the actors dress up peace talksVomit, this film should be about the same age as the Kwun Chung Theatre.　　A cheerful audience, smoking while drinking beer, see the knowing place will also lol.　　"A ticket, to see the Smile", "old friends Ghost, all Day", a 40 Hong Kong dollar ticket, if the audience is interested enough to see the evening from noon, the cinema owner for this design slogan, has recently become a popular popular language on the local network.　　Cheap movies, natural for cheap reasons, the film is played on videotape, probably because of too many times, the film during the playback period has been interrupted or discoloration. During an interview with reporters in the south, a van driver who was standing in front of the theater talking to the boss about his work, the phone had just put down and plunged into the cinema.　　The driver, who is not shy of the media, said the boss was not working on the job, and that Hong Kong would have to spend 40 bucks a day in a movie theater, or a pretty affordable choice. For the reporter's visit, the conductor has obviously been surprised, the part-time middle-aged woman skillfully from the side out of a poster, his face block said: "Outside casually shoot, do not shoot the audience ah!" "Hong Kong City Road is a good way for the public to miss the Kwun Chung Theatre"? Crazy rent nearly times! No ability to operate, March graduation, to cherish! This February, a closure announcement was posted at the gate of the Kwun Chung Theatre. Although the Kwun Chung Theatre is only a small cinema that serves only the neighbourhood, the closure advertisements of the owners of cinemas have announced the end of an era in Hong Kong.　　The salesgirl said that in the past few days, Hong Kong media reporters had come to interview, saying that this is Hong Kong's last pure three-level movie theater. In the 1987, the Hong Kong government introduced a three-tier film system, and some films were rightfully on the big screen. "Before the chest also want to cut off, since the three-tier system immediately after a kind of momentum, investors have set up three-tier line." The head of the theater said. In the 80 's to the 90 's 20, the Hong Kong film industry is the most splendid era, the mainland cities everywhere in the video hall, all broadcast a large number of pirated Hong Kong films.　　It was also the era of vigorous development of the Hong Kong pornographic film industry in the glorious era of the film industry.　　Encouraged by the three-tier film system, more than 40 pure three-level cinemas have sprung up in Hong Kong's densely populated residential areas, and the Kwun Chung Theatre was quietly opened in Jordan in 1993.　　But the good time soon announced the end, with the DVD player and other home audio and video equipment and the advent of the internet era, the Hong Kong film industry soon into the dark period of today. "We can keep our business in the financial crisis, but we are in a better economy."　　"The cinema owner, unwilling to appear before the press, in the FA C EBO O K Network set up a group, the boss poured bitterness, said, now the economy is good, all walks of life are expanding, leading to Youjianwang shop rent a rise again, the recent landlord raised rent 80%, finally make the theater has been struggling to end. Having been informed of the impending closure of the Kwun Chung Theatre, many nostalgic Hong Kong people have immediately organized and set up blog groups on the internet to holdRead about this disappearing industry.　　Members of the public have been invited to the theatre to support the site, hoping to accompany the cinema to the end of the journey.　　"H a ppy," said a total of 8 young people into the official Chung Theatre, this is the first time he walked into a pornographic theater, not to see the yellow film, but to remember this is about to disappear the tradition. According to common sense, the existence of pornographic cinemas will certainly bring nuisance to nearby residents, but in the interview with Senator Youjianwang Hudeliang, he was somewhat frustrated.　　Because of the low price, some retired residents have already used the cinema as a good place to spend their time. "This theater has existed for many years, many elderly friends have put this place as a chat party, now closed, it is equal to the elderly friends and a meeting place."　　Hudeliang said that the theater area is actually an old community in Hong Kong, many young people have moved away, many of them live in the elderly, so it will not adversely affect the next generation.　　Hudeliang said that in many areas of Yau Tsim Mong, many of the façade to the influx of mainland visitors to make room for shopping places, virtually the local residents of the less open space, he hoped that the government departments can come up with some resources to build some parks, so that elderly people to regain the party.
