"The best film of the year was born, Wu Xiaozu, Li Licheng and Luo Dong contributed a classic work that is enough to be recorded in the annals of Chinese film history! 』——"Film Biweekly".

"This is a work that truly fits the entire history of Hong Kong Island. When the black and white of the whole film dissipated and the essence of vivid colors was revealed, I think I am not the only one who was moved!" 』——"Youth TV".

"The best historical movie of Hong Kong movies is born!Its existence makes this summer file completely sublimated! "--"See a movie".

""Big Brother" is a work that truly touches human nature. Hundreds of boats compete for a thousand sails to cross the border, and what will be left behind will be beautiful! 』——"Daily Daily".

"A renaissance of black and white images, no better encounter can be compared. 』——"Hong Kong Island Daily".

"Cheng Long: If the box office of this movie fails, it will be a disgrace to the entire Hong Kong Island movie! 』——"Sing Tao Daily".

""Big Brother" surpassed "Ninety-two Condor Heroes: The Long Sword of Infatuation", "Four Inspectors", and "Shark Invasion", with a box office exceeding 500 million! 』

The next day, most of the professional paper media focused on "Big Brother", a work that received a lot of attention from the outside world.

Famous film critics such as Lu Yanhua, Fang Baoluo, Chen Borong and even Cai Lan and Huang Zhan all expressed their praise for this film.

The media, film critics, art circles, and cultural circles have all given high praise to this film. You must know that this film has not won any honors.

Even though they praised Wu Xiaozu's award-winning works before, they didn't fully support them!

The main thing is that the content of this movie really hit their hearts.

This kind of epic blockbuster has never been seen in the history of Chinese films, let alone Hong Kong films?

What's more, this drama is still a story told by their very sentimental 'black and white' images.

At the same time, this method is not obtrusive, and it will not even make them think it is a show of skill. On the contrary, it adds a sense of history, especially when the whole movie is over, the feeling of color appearing in the whole movie is instantly sublimated up!
Many filmmakers and people in the industry who participated in the premiere also praised it.

And there was a director surnamed Xu who did not want to be named, and said bluntly: "Director Li is a god! The best director of the Academy Award for next year has been directly finalized!"

In fact it is.

Such an explosion of word-of-mouth has also made Li Licheng immediately popular.

There were a lot of 'Little Wu Xiaozu', 'Little Wu Xiaozu' or 'Director Wu's successor'... It turns out that the next successor is Director Li!

"Four Detectives", "[-] Condor Heroes" and the most disappointing "Shark Invasion" in the entire summer file are in danger under the overwhelming news rush, without any page.

"Ming Pao" and "Oriental Daily" also received money for publicity, but the feedback from the entire film critics, film industry and movie audiences directly submerged their reports under the huge tide.

This made many movie fans not pay attention to those movies at all, and all focused on this blown-up work.

The consequence is that-

"Four tickets to "Big Brother", any show is fine!"

"Give me a ticket!"

"Big Brother!"

A strange phenomenon appeared at the entrance of Xinbao Theater. Many young people went to buy tickets with great interest. The crowd was black and dense, crowded, and the attendance rate of the entire theater remained above 7%.

Then--

15 minutes after the movie started, sporadic people came out with weird faces and mutual guilt.

And then 30 minutes after the movie started, sporadic people continued to come out... The people who came out were generally not many, and the main composition was very young boys and girls.

When they came out, they looked at each other - and silently cursed 'trash movies. '

But after scolding, I felt a little ashamed.

Because they also know that this movie is probably not the trash movie they said.

Just ...

It doesn't seem like a summer break like they thought it would be.

Although they only watched it for half an hour, they can't say that the movie is bad or bad. It can only be said... At this point in time, they don't want to watch such a work. Compared with it, they would rather watch it Watch a brainless movie——

Just like the big-nosed dragon, the thief is stupid and lacks joy and high-energy actions! (Big Nosed Dragon: I'll hit you!)

The main reason is that the tone of this movie is indeed too pathetic!

They just want to have fun, have a date, pass the time... want to spend 90 minutes or 120 minutes leisurely.

But this movie really feels heavy.

In fact, this is also the biggest problem of this movie, so Wu Xiaozu didn't pay too much attention to the box office of this movie.

Movies like "To Live", "Farewell My Concubine", and "Schindler's List" are all classics in film history, but there are still people who haven't watched them...or are afraid to watch them.

Not that it sucks.

I just feel that it may not be suitable for everyone's preferences, and you can even say that not everyone is interested in these things.After all, urban men and women have a fast pace, even if they cry, it must be the kind of fast-forwarding and fast-closing... It shouldn't be this kind of content that makes one's imagination run wild.

It's like young people like to eat sweets, spicy and heavy food.

However, when they reach a certain age, or when their experience and experience increase, they will find that they no longer love the "boiled pork slices" and "fish-flavored shredded pork" that they used to like, but fall in love with the ones they didn't like when they were young. 'Chinese cabbage'...

Very normal.

This is the correct multi-polar orientation of society.

As long as there are no issues of principle involved, there is nothing wrong with this situation.

You can't say you're inferior just because you don't like serious movies or serious literature...that's the work of hypocritical elitism.

Therefore, Wu Xiaozu didn't care too much about the opinions and agitation of film critics and filmmakers.

Although some young people will subconsciously avoid works with such themes, some people will still watch it...and like this drama.

that's enough.

The city "Jiazhen" has always existed, but it is enough that such a play can make young people feel the feelings of home and country.

In the market, many film critics and filmmakers are also dumbfounded after seeing the box office of "Big Brother" which is "weird and changeable".

this……

Just when they lamented that many movie fans are blind-sighted—they unexpectedly discovered that many college students and middle-aged people who got married and started a career liked this movie very much.

Fortunately, the former are in line with the potential audience identified by film critics.

But the latter is very weird - it stands to reason that middle-aged people who start a family and start a business are not the main force of the movie box office.

Many times, they don't necessarily go to the cinema many times in a year.Even if the average number of movies watched by Hong Kong people has always been far ahead in the world...

Young people have always been the main contributors to the box office of movies, which is also the reason for the so-called generation after generation of gods!
Sometimes, it's not that the creators can't withdraw, but that the audience has improved.

These middle-aged people,
They walked into the theater silently and watched silently.

After reading it, you may smoke a cigarette, and then continue to drive a taxi, or continue to pick up goods at the pier, pick up your children from school...

At the same time, many elderly people also entered the theater one after another.

The reason for their entry is the same as that of many young people who choose to leave after seeing a black-and-white film-it is a black-and-white film!

Your black and white are actually their youth.

Wu Xiaozu didn't expect this.

So I found that the box office of "Big Brother" formed a particularly paradoxical curve-there was no big increase, but there was no big drop.

Overall, a smooth fluctuation is maintained to maintain income.

When "Big Brother" broke 2000 million at the box office, "Police Story 3 Super Cop", which was released later than it, had already broken 3000 million at the box office.

When the others saw this, they were all gearing up.

It's not that they haven't encountered movies that are popular or not popular.

Naturally, they all came up with the plan of 'it is better to chase the poor with the remaining brave', and took this opportunity to smash the so-called classic "Big Brother" to pieces!

Then there are new films coming out!

The effect-

The fight between them was bloody. During this period of time, Hua Tsai had to work overtime due to the poor box office. The box office of "600 Condor Heroes" squeezed by these new films continued to plunge, and it didn't even break through [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

What a shame!
But not only did they not stop attacking, but they also stepped up their efforts one by one to sneak in from behind!

More than a dozen new films were swarming the whole night, making Andy's mouth swollen, and he became popular!
Seeing this situation, he felt like crying without tears.

Look at "Big Brother" again——

Ream! ?
What about the shrimp? ?
"Big Brother" has not been affected at all, or it has been slightly affected. The overall box office trend is still stable. It cannot be said to be a big hit or a big drop, but it is very stable.

Every game is profitable...

Even the most exaggerated point, when my family's "Let's Save the Happy Ghost 2" was released, it didn't even affect the stability of the film's box office revenue!

This kind of box office curve has shocked many people in the industry!
Before this,

Hong Kong movies basically get 10% or even 50.00% or 20% of the box office results of a movie in the previous week or [-] days, unless it is a phenomenon-level work, it can be really popular for [-] days or a month.

For a popular movie, its opening performance must be a big hit, and then it will fall all the way.

However, the box office performance of "Big Brother" with a daily stable cash flow made them feel something they had never seen before.

The most important thing is that the box office trend of this movie will go down for a while, and it will drop by a few percent for a while... It's quite steady...

The opening results of this film are not considered a big hit. Although the film critics tap water to recommend this film, the film's opening results are indeed not as big as "Aeroplane" and "Police Story 3". Burst the movie.

Both of these two films had huge box office hits in the first ten days, and then cut their losses in half... But relying on word of mouth and audience, the box office results will naturally go up.

A work like "Big Brother" that has continuously maintained the top 5 box office results in the summer season, and then has a long-term box office trend, is the first time in history for a Hong Kong film!
Such paradoxical box office results abruptly attracted many young people to watch - they were brought to Amway by their brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents...

Yes.

This movie produced an Amway effect similar to feeding back. It is rare for the elders to give Amway movies to the younger...it usually appears on health care products.

Suddenly appearing in a film work, many young people were stunned.

It feels like...

Watch "Country Love"? ? ?
almost.

It’s just that the whole family is chatting, and you, a young man who is at the forefront of fashion, suddenly can’t get in the conversation. The problem is that the seven aunts and the eight aunts are chatting so hotly that they feel like they are about to eat Xiaoyao pills...

Out of curiosity, you don't want to see it?

This looks very good.

After all, "Big Brother" is still a young man's story, and the black and white tones aside, the storytelling and the film's shots, characters, and lines are all top-notch, so it will naturally make people like it.

"Crap! How many percentage points did it go against the trend???"

Looking at the newspaper, many competitors couldn't help but want to curse.

　Let me ask: A man took his child to the lake next to the community to go skating with an ice cart bought online for 160, and fell into it. This kind of thing is actually quite common, right?
