My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 116 The movie is down, literary salon

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!

On 11.30, "The Birth of a Prefix" was officially released from theaters.

From the official launch on 11.11 to the official release on 11.30, the release period is 20 days. The ultra-high box office of 1722 million caused an uproar in the industry.

This result is enough to squeeze into the top ten of this year's box office list. So far, it is second only to the 1756 million of "Dao Ma Dan", ranking seventh in the annual box office.

Second Young Master Jiang still wanted to procrastinate for a few days, waiting for an opportunity to surpass Old Freak Xu's "Dao Ma Dan".But Wu Xiaozu did not agree.

What is the difference between sixth and seventh?If you really want to exceed it, spending money to buy the box office is more appropriate than postponing.Postponing the release, the single-day box office results do not have much potential to be tapped. The loss of delaying for such a long time is more than buying the box office. Why bother?

Therefore, despite a little regret, Wu Xiaozu chose to accept it as soon as he saw it.

At this point, there are very few films with box office potential beyond 20 days.Not every movie has the appeal of "Hit the Wrong Car". It was re-screened 8 times in five months, constantly creating records in the history of Bay Bay movies and Chinese-language re-screenings.This is a highlight in the history of world cinema.

The star with the most re-screenings of Chinese-language movies in later generations should be Zhang Guoyi.Basically every year there are re-releases of my brother's movies.

Speaking of this, I have to sympathize with Liang Xiaobao.

He was ruthlessly blocked by the Gulf authorities when he was filming in the mainland, but the movie "Hitchhiking" was screened in the mainland for more than 3 months, and the mainland did not block any of the cast and crew.This is the pan cooking that Wanwan has always advertised.

In 1986, the movie with the most release days was "The True Colors of a Hero", which was released for 2 consecutive months.But in fact, this is more because of the new princess and the film studio's opening of the Hong Kong Island box office record.

The year before, Sammo Hung's "Fuxing Gaozhao" broke the golden body of the golden princess, breaking the three consecutive championships and three consecutive breaks in the "Best Partner" series of New Art City.So it is not difficult to understand why "The True Colors of Heroes" has been released for two consecutive months.

This is similar to the later "Wolf Warrior 2".

The rest of the top ten box office movies include: "Extraordinary Train", "Best Partner: A Thousand Miles to Rescue the poor", "Best Lucky Star" and other blockbuster movies, all of which have not been released for more than a month.

The worst is "Zombie Family", although it won 1700 million at the box office.But because of encounters with Brother Xiao Ma, Brother Hao and Ajie, it was only screened for 17 days.Originally, Golden Harvest had great hopes for this movie.

At this time, the average number of days for Hong Kong Island movies to be released is around 15-20 days.It is also not new that many small companies' movies are cut in two or three days.How many independent production companies have been killed by the three giants using this trick.

This time "The Birth of a Prefix" can be screened for 20 days. The first is the off-season in November, when there are not many self-made big productions in the three majors.Give him enough screen time.The second is that Aetna and the 11 locomotive have given up more interests.

Regardless of whether it is Debao or Princess Jin, their final release of "The Birth of a Prefix" is nothing more than a relatively harsh "sharing clause".

So don't look at the box office of this movie far surpassing "Rainy Night Butcher", but 1024's profit did not grow explosively.

This time the box office share is also much more complicated than before.

First of all, the box office results are divided into three parts, with Debao and Princess Jin accounting for the majority.Antai's box office cannot be compared with the two giants.

In order for "The Birth of a Prefix" to be screened smoothly, Debao and Princess Jin's share of theaters is not low.These box office share should also be accounted for independently.The money was delayed for three to five months, and Wu Xiaozu and Jiang Zhiqiang could only accept it.

In addition, Antai, as the main publisher and producer, also occupies a large piece of fat.So in fact, the box office share allocated to Wu Xiaozu and 1024 Locomotive is not much.

Fortunately, all the money from the box office share and foreign share of "Rainy Night Butcher" have been credited to the account. Otherwise, Wu Xiaozu wanted to buy various professional machines and add an editing studio. It would be wishful thinking.

At the same time, "Pretty Girl True Story" can also provide 1024 with a certain box office share.It was also a surprise.At the beginning, this movie was considered a small profit after excluding various expenses.

With the arrival of December, the Christmas file war also kicked off.Basically, the Christmas file is also a warm-up for the Spring Festival file.Although the three major productions will not be launched in Malaysia, they still attach great importance to this schedule.

Princess Jin took the lead in showing her power, and made three successive drama appointments for promotion.Mecca directed and acted in the comedy "3000 Million Windfall"!"The Evil Man" starring Yongjia Chen Xunqi, and Ishida's ambitious "Oolong Family", all have a sharp attitude towards pigs and sheep.

Debao is not to be outdone. The publicity of "Dragon in the Jianghu" was also overwhelming.This movie is starring Xiaolong's son Li Guohao, which can be described as full of gimmicks.In addition, there is a "Cop and Thief Brothers" that is also ready to go.

Not to mention Jiahe.

During this period of time, Xu's film company's movie "Expression Chocolate" has a strong promotional offensive.The star lineup of Xu Guanwen, Hu Huizhong, and Anita Mui is considered by the industry to have a good chance of breaking into the top five of the annual box office list.

Leaning against a big tree is good for enjoying the shade, but if these big trees are fighting each other like the ultimate version of Groot, Wu Xiaozu, the "cute version" of the little tree man, had better stay away.

...

Central.

A velvet chair, a plump and elegant mature woman with Sassoon hair combed, her beautiful legs wrapped in white trousers, holding a new book written by her friend Yi Shu.

"Seeing your ruddy complexion, you feel much better."

While hanging up his windbreaker, Shi Nansheng ordered a cup of coffee with the waiter, and looked at Lin Qingxia with a smile, "You really don't think about starting work?"

"Are you here to be a lobbyist for your master Xu again?"

Lin Qingxia put down the book, brushed Sassoon's hair lightly, and showed a playful smile on her brows, "He won't give you two wages, why are you working so hard. How are you and your master Xu doing?"

"How about what?"

Shi Nansheng shook his coffee spoon, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You are a middle-aged unmarried literary girl, why don't you care about yourself. Is there any suitable one? How about I introduce one to you?"

"A middle-aged literary girl?"

Lin Qingxia couldn't help but reach out and hit her best friend, "Okay. Then I want a man who is tall, handsome, considerate, has time, doesn't bother, gets along with me, and understands me. Of course, the most important thing is fate." Lin Qingxia Qingxia was joking.

"There are many on the street, maybe there is one you like!" Shi Nansheng pointed his slender fingers out of the window, casually, and the street was full of people, "Do you want me to post a blind date advertisement for you?"

Lin Qingxia looked over, her eyes flicked over the crowd, but she happened to see that the poster of "The Birth of a Prefix" was being removed at the Debao Theater not far away, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help smiling.

"not bad."

...

In front of the villa in Kowloon Tong.

Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Beetle, and Camry parked in front of the door.A red taxi with a 1024 license plate was inserted in the middle of the cars majestically, without any sense of shame.

"Movie Salon?"

Wu Xiaozu held a note in his hand, on which was written "Filmmaker No. 14th Art Salon", the font was delicate and beautiful, with a feminine literary style.

Last night, Jiang Jiahua knocked on the door suddenly and told him to come here to participate in a "art salon".

At that time, Wu Xiaozu, who was brushing Wang Zuzhen's teeth in the room, slipped, and Wang Zuzhen's cheek was almost pierced.

When Jiang Jiahua handed him a note, the weird scene made Wu Xiaozu almost think that Jiang Jiahua was crazy.

Art salon?

Wu Xiaozu already understood "Haitian Shengyan", but this is really the second time he heard this kind of art salon. The person who told him about it last time was Yang Dechang.Then, he suddenly remembered that his current title seemed to be: the leader of the young generation of Hong Kong Island New Wave!Jumped from the eighteenth-tier non-mainstream to the third-tier literary circle!
The film "The Birth of a Prefix" was released, and this group of New Wave film critics praised it a lot.

With love and reason...

"Sister Hua, I'm drawing a hand-drawn script for the next movie, where do I have time to attend a salon..."

Wu Xiaozu shrugged helplessly, "Tomorrow I'm going to the comics club to find someone to start work, I'm afraid I won't have time."

"This salon is held by Tsui Hark and his wife, and there are many people in the circle. I was also entrusted to invite you to go."

Jiang Jiahua smiled softly, ""The Birth of a Prefix" is not only a big hit at the box office, but also has an excellent reputation. Many people are very curious about you, the new leader of the new wave, and want to go far in the circle , connections are very important..." Speaking of this, Jiang Jiahua glanced suspiciously at Wang Zuzhen who was sneaking past her.

"Xianxian?"

"Gollum—"

Wang Zuchen hurriedly swallowed the toothpaste foam in his mouth, pretending to be obedient and smirking at Jiang Jiahua, "Hello, sister Jiahua!"

After finishing speaking, I smacked and smacked my mouth, feeling that there was something missing in my mouth...

not enough……

Wang Xianxian suddenly remembered, and covered his mouth with his jade hand.

"what happened?"

"it's okay no problem……"

Wang Zuzhen waved her hand hastily, "I'm going to the bathroom!" After she finished speaking, she ran towards the bathroom, and there were two obvious black marks on the knees of her white pants.

"Tsui Hark?"

Wu Xiaozu chewed.

"Tsui Hark!" Jiang Jiahua asked with a sure smile.

"Okay!" Wu Xiaozu also smiled, "I also like to be able to communicate with colleagues." That's what I said, but I don't know what I think in my heart.

Wu Xiaozu does not reject this kind of gathering in the circle, what he rejects is the title of "Cultural Salon".This is far less attractive to him than "pool party".

The film "The Birth of a Prefix" has been attributed by many filmmakers to the revival of the New Wave.This is especially true after Wu Xiaozu won three heavyweight awards at the Asia Pacific Film Festival.

Wu Xiaozu never thought that he would come back one day to participate in the so-called "Art Salon".

Looking at the villa in front of him, Wu Xiaozu stepped forward.

"Ding dong!"

"Come on—"

A very impatient voice sounded, and then there was a sound of trotting, the door suddenly opened, and then a skinny fairy ran back without hesitation.

Only Wu Xiaozu was left blinking his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost——
