A General introduction of Movies’Development

At first，movies pleased people just because the experience of watching them was new.Trains dashed toward the camera，crowds walked along the avenues of distant cities，soldiers marched，waterfalls dashed over rocks，and everyone was delighted.There，in the black and white shadow one could see larger-than-life images of reality-and they moved！But ima-ges alone cannot keep people interested for ever.Within a few years，such motion pictures became less popular.Film producers had to begin searching for new ideas to win back the crowds.

The Moderm Condition of Comedy Films

Comedy films have found a bigger stage in Chinese cinema in recent years.However，insiders say itfs very dificult to produce good comedy，and that Chinese films face great challenges.The box office miracle that Kungfu Hustle created，as well as the popularity of New Year films，which boast funny dialogues and happy endings，all point to the great potential of comedy flms in China.Not only have actors like Stephen Chow and Ge You become comedy superstars，but funny dialogue between characters has become classic lines.However，insiders say comedy is facing hard times.

The death of comedic actors Fu Biao and Gao Xiumin in 2005 was bad news enough for the industry.But even director Feng Xiaogang，known for the immense humor in his films，is taking a turn away from comedy to shoot an ancient costume movie called The Banquet.Comedic actor Liang

Tian says many filmmakers are shunning the genre because of the great dificulty in shooting these types of films.
