How do Patrick Kong’s romance films affect nowadays the teens’ value?
2016, is the tenth anniversary of Patrick Kong’s romance film. Patrick Kong is a famous romance film director in Hong Kong who has been produced more than 10 romance films since 2006. The feature of his film works is Patrick usually makes use of the teen idols such as Stephy Tang and Alex Fong, as the main actress and actor. Hence, his films always became the focus of the youth in the past ten years of Hong Kong.
With the time flies, Stephy and Alex are no more idols between the new generation. Recently, the film, Anniversary, the tenth anniversary film of Patrick’s first romance film, had been shown on the last third of December of 2015. Still, Stephy and Alex were the main actress and actor of the film and, it hit the town again among the Hong Kong people.
However, the comment of Patrick’s film are usually polarized. While the teen would feel that the film is thought-provoking, a group of mature people would feel that Patrick only makes use of the former idea to film. Actually, in Patrick’s romance films always include the same concept: there must be the existence of the other woman or man in a pair of couple, scene is a must in the film, the stage dialog is meaningless but can be the motto of the teen, and so on.
I would like to study on how the influence of the teenagers from the film. As “seeing is believe”, would the film change the mindset of the teenager in terms of getting in a relationship? Or, would those romance films affect the teenagers immersible?
Methods to be used:
To do the research, in-depth interviews is needed. I would like to interview 4 to 5 people who have watched Patrick’s romance films. They are young teenagers (around 12-15) and late stage teenagers (around 21-25) with or without a companion.
I will ask the question to probe how the value different in those interviewee. For example, I will ask the comment or meaning of the films from those interviewee at first. Then, I will ask them the stages on love so that I can compare the thought and real situation of those interviewee. With the comparison, I can find out in what extent the films affect the audience.
Also, doing a questionnaire is needed. I can measure various views and opinions from the audience in terms of how they found the films and is it the main path affect the teens’ mindset.

Hi Hing-lun, Your research ideas are expressed pretty clearly. There are two points to note: 1) Please adopt the topic - "How do Hong Kong teenagers interpret Patrick Kong's movies?" Media effects are not easy to establish but you can touch upon this when you use the suggested topic; 2) In-depth interviews supported by simple questionnaire would be fine enough. You can start doing your research.
