Topic: Shaw Brothers


  
  Shaw Brothers
Shaw’s were able to invest more money in their Mandarin films as the returns would be higher than if it were just for a local audience and so this devalued the Cantonese features with their lower production values which could only compete for a smaller market.
Shaw knew that Loke would be his toughest competitor and made sure that Shaw Brothers would exclusively compete with the films of MPandGI, so "from the start, Shaw Brothers specifically targeted MPandGI and rushed to produce films that had been scheduled by their rival" (Zhang, 2004:168).
Shaw Brothers expansion into the wuxia genre could perhaps be seen in relation to the popularity of the Japanese chanbara films flooding into the Hong Kong market such as Yojimbo (Kurosawa:1962) which became popular through their violence and realistic fight choreography (along with the strong leading man such as Zatoichi).
