Taiwanese film faces a difficult struggle in an environment dominated by the film industries of Hong Kong and the West. Taiwan's film output has dropped from 163 films in 1988 to only 29 last year, and studios and producers are unanimous in their attitude toward making films in Taiwan: "It's not easy."
看看大環境，本土國片仍然在港片和西片的強敵環伺下辛苦掙扎，產量並由七十七年的一六三部，一路滑落到去年只剩兩位數字﹘﹘廿九部。「電影不好做」，這是片商和製片對台灣電影的一致看法。
