| Abstract | According to Baseline Study on Hong Kong’s Creative Industries conducted by The University of Hong Kong for the Central Policy Unit of the Hong Kong SAR Government in 2003: ”The music industry in Hong Kong is dominated by Cantopop in production and sales. It constitutes a major part of the entertainment business of the territory in terms of employment and contribution to GDP. It is also a major part of the popular cultural phenomenon of Hong Kong, which ‘has significant influence in the region and also a large market in every community overseas’.”
But while creative industries are viewed by the government to be vital to the future success of Hong Kong, people tend to think that Cantopop has been declining significantly over the past decade. This talk examines the crisis faced by Cantopop – once the trend-setter of Chinese popular music – as a creative industry. It is argued that the decline of Cantopop has to be explored in the light of the recent development of Hong Kong culture per se.
As Cantopop continues to struggle to regain momentum, the valued synergy among popular cultures, inter alia, would be an indispensable factor. |
