Anyone who has watched videos in the last century is probably not unfamiliar with Coastal Contribution. The opening of the video released by it is quite impressive: an artistic green figure amid the rolling waves. The seahorse jumped out of the electric light and flint, accompanied by the music with a strong rhythm and a Mandarin baritone voice that was not very confident shouted these four words. This little green seahorse left a deep impression on me. It’s not that I’ve watched many of the videos produced by Coast. It’s just that most of the films I’ve watched at the beginning of Coast are pretty good Hong Kong movies. So with experience, I can When I saw this seahorse appearing in the opening credits of a movie, I felt conditioned reflex excitement, and there was a sense of excitement that a wonderful movie was about to begin. During the film screening, this little seahorse would appear in the corner of the screen from time to time, similar to the various subtitles that appear on films suppressed online today. At the time, I didn’t know what the seahorse meant. I just thought it often appeared with the mysterious Hong Kong movies, which I always thought was a bit weird. In fact, "Coast Contribution" is just a release slogan of the video tape distribution company. It just means that this tape is "contributed" by our Coast Company, and the green seahorse is just a symbol of the coast. The full name of Coast is Coast Video Co., Ltd. The trademark was registered in early 1995. The company's location is naturally Hong Kong Island. Mainly engaged in various video tapes, karaoke video tapes, various laser discs, etc. Coastal Video has had a huge impact on the mainland's film and television industry. He is the chief culprit in all kinds of pirated and smuggled video tapes in mainland China. It is said that nine out of ten Hong Kong film videos screened in mainland China in the last century were masterpieces contributed by Coastal. It was the proliferation of a large number of smuggled and pirated video tapes that led to the proliferation of video studios across the land of China. The most glorious period of Coastal's contribution was in the first few years of its establishment. A large number of excellent but not excellent martial arts, gunfights, comedies and other films in Hong Kong, including a large number of Hong Kong III films, emerged through its production and distribution channels. Entering the mainland greatly satisfied the needs of mainland audiences who were still poorly aware of film and television products at that time, especially those from Hong Kong and Taiwan. The entire generation of people like me in the 1980s grew up under the influence of Hong Kong films, and the mainstream channels for fully appreciating the charm of Hong Kong films were originally through such videotapes. Then, suddenly, countless pirated copies came overnight, allowing Hong Kong films to flood the most remote markets in the mainland, which invisibly affected a generation. From this point of view, although pirates are extremely hated by Hong Kong film producers, the earliest and broadest mainland audience for Hong Kong films was actually cultivated by these comrades who copied and smuggled films. However, with the return of Hong Kong, various film and television products have increased sharply, and the audience's cultural communication channels have become increasingly diversified. Especially in the era of VCD, Coastal's contribution has gradually declined. In the distribution companies such as Meiya Laser, Asia Variety Show, and Starlight, Under the siege of the rising stars, the once unique beauty of the coast soon lost its glory, and after a thousand years, it has basically disappeared. I heard that it was later merged and reorganized with Yongsheng Era and others. From 1998 to its closure in 2002, Coast released a lot of VCDs and DVDs. Of course, the picture quality was poor due to backward technology, but it produced many good films, such as Hong Kong and Taiwan 7, comedy films in the 1980s, horror films, action films, etc. It closed down in 2002. DVDs and VCDs released by the coast are gradually out of print. DVDs released by the coast such as "Chungking Express", "Ghost" and "Bullet Rental". These original DVDs are sold for 100 to 300 yuan. Even the VCDs are over 100 yuan. You will know after watching it. If I were to find the ones produced on all the coasts you mentioned, I would probably need thousands of copies. This is unlikely!
