My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 1419 This time, capital and art go in both directions (Xiao Zhang asks for a monthly pass!)
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
For Hong Kong movies, 80% of the films in recent years have had the behavior of making money at the box office, and the remaining 20% ​​are not because they are noble and don’t want to make money, but because they can’t afford it.

It sounds like a mysterious question.

Because everyone thinks that box office checks seem to be heard by us in later generations.

Actually not...

At that time, under the guidance of an unknown expert, Sir Jiang started the advanced show operation of box office, and directly taught a lesson to the Hong Kong Island film circle.

So far, checking the box office has become the unspoken rule of the industry.

Nowadays, it has become a common marketing method in the entire film industry.

In particular, Hong Kong films are too suitable for 'box office'.

Because the source of its investment itself is not clean, this method is definitely a profitable business for cleaning up these investments.

On the one hand, the capital has been washed clean, and the cost of this kind of "washing" is negligible compared to the cost of special washing.

On the other hand, once the box office results are good, it is easy to sell foreign copyrights and distribution rights, and maybe even make a lot of money.

At the same time, this kind of situation is also very good-looking in name, not to mention a legitimate industry, especially with the rise of Hong Kong movies, many gangsters have all become movie bosses in one fell swoop, and they have an extra business to make money.

By the way, you can also sleep with female stars.

It can be said to kill many birds with one stone.

Therefore, compared with later generations, today's Hong Kong circle is more full of box office fraud - and the cost and price are extremely low.

This is also an important element of Wu Xiaozu's departure.

The torment has been deep, and the medicine is difficult to cure.

This industry has become distorted and sick to the extreme, the whole house has been corroded, and the building will collapse without a single tree to support it, let alone a group of pig teammates?
It is better not to break than to make small repairs.

Wu's rules are not perfect.

Rules, that's for those who follow the rules.

Nowadays, various methods such as stealing box office, ghost field, buying box office and so on emerge in endlessly.

Not only investors and film studios buy box office, but also the capital and advertising endorsers behind the stars. They all think that this kind of behavior of buying box office is more appropriate than simply advertising... It is indeed the case.

Because these purchased box office can be communicated with the film studios, and then a small amount of compensation can be returned after washing through the operation, and it can also increase the commercial value of its spokespersons while accurately positioning the target consumer groups.

For example - Hua Tsai.

The reason why the merchants behind him chose him must be because of his fan base, it couldn't be because of his habit of making plays, right?strike out—

Oh, Hong Kong media in the world call this a model worker.

Maybe he didn't want to work hard, but the gun really dared to point his head.

But the reason why he was so lucky and destined to become the "chosen one" must be because of his own appeal and influence, and it is definitely not his play. .

As a top idol like him, many fans will naturally go to the theater to watch the movie because of his existence. In this way, the advertisers in the movie will naturally place advertisements for the consumer groups they want. This is no more accurate than hard advertising. ?

The play led by Hua Tsai lost the bottom line last year.

"Ninety-two Condor Heroes: The Long Sword of Infatuation" went all the way to the snowy mountains of Canada for on-the-spot shooting, which is definitely a big investment.

The star lineup of the whole play, the heroine is replaced by Anita Mui to Coach Guan, and the two jointly performed a romantic, beautiful and dreamy love and money loss story.

The final total box office is not too low. The score of nearly 900 million Hong Kong dollars is worthy of the name of a fan movie, but the cost is too high... It will definitely lose money.

The good thing is that although the show lost money, it didn't completely lose it - there was a VAM agreement in it, and he compensated part of the money lost by investors out of his own pocket.

So, Hua Tsai really loves art.

The game of making decisions by oneself is really losing money, and he really pays back after losing.

How about everyone saying that he can deal with him?
Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with the company receiving bullets every now and then.

Tianmu Films also has two commercial film projects with an all-star cast this year.One is "Legend of God of War". The director recruited Hong Luyu and Donkey Sanmao as the directors of the martial arts drama, while the literary couple Zhang Wanting and Luo Qirui were the directors of the literary drama, and the famous producer Chen Peihua personally supervised the production.

In terms of the cast, Liu Dehua, Anita Mui, Zhong Zhentao, Zhang Manyu, Gao Lihong, Qian Jiale and others participated. It can be said that the starlight is full of stars, and even the godmother Ye Dexian came to the stage in person.

The amount of investment is also claimed to break the cost of "evil in the east and west in the west". Of course, it is not known how much money will be actually implemented in the end, but there must be an investment of 4000 to [-] million.

The other is the love literary work "Forever and Forever" directed by the famous Liu Yuming and strongly recommended by Liu Dehua.

You say you don't know this so-called famous 'Liu Yuming'?
Very normal.

Because this is another vest of Liu Zhenwei's bum, just like 'Ji'an'...

This Pujie favorite is to use various trumpets to open new pits, and then it is convenient to pit money.

At this time, the Platinum Godhead was still there, and he didn't report other colleagues... Unlike later generations, even if the work was shot with a large size, it was still a piece of shit!

This "Forever and Forever" is a nostalgic literary and artistic romance film-a familiar label, right?
Because the last one claimed so was "Days of Being Wild"!
In other words, this film was originally the story that Liu Zhenwei wrote for Wang Laileg's "Days of Being Wild". When "Days of Being Wild" was not finished, Liu Zhenwei sorted out the rest of the stories to make up for regrets. , Changed to this "Forever and Forever".

Let's just say it's a very emotional drama.

Hua Tsai can say this when he reads the script - he can't put it down.

Regardless of the opposition from insiders in the company, he insisted on realizing his dream: leaving no regrets for himself and Liu Zhenwei.

And he feels that if he participates, he should not lose money.

so,

Since Wu Xiaozu was gone, everyone began to feel that they could do it.

Director Wu's achievements in the past have indeed given them a kind of "big cake" that is very ethereal.

After the analysis of "professionals", they believe that the current market conditions and the real top works can reach the box office of "at least" 5000-6000 million in Hong Kong Island, and it is not a problem to say higher.

The reason is that ticket prices have increased by a quarter, while the number of screens has also doubled.

This is not counting the box office of Southeast Asia, Wanwan, Dongying, Xiaoxiba and other places. According to their analysis, the box office of top works in these places can reach hundreds of millions of box office.

You see, with such a big pie, an investment of three, four, five, and sixty million yuan is really nothing, isn't it?

Besides, everyone is playing capital.

Don't forget, in addition to this, there are income from overseas copyrights, TV station purchases, and offline distribution copyrights.

What's more, the investors behind this are Cai Songlin, Wang Yingxiang, a group of Gulf capital and some hot money capital, and they can maximize the development of these benefits.

They also have plans for a TV station - Zhongtian TV station is too popular!
"Meteor Garden", "Sex and the City" and "Qin Shihuang and A Fang Nu" played by Fei Cheng's concubine all set ratings records, and the Wanwan people headed by Wang Weizhong, Zhan Renxiong and others, as well as some Hong Kong Islanders, Koreans, Dongying Together, they started Zhongtian's variety show road.

"I Guess I Guess I Guess" and "Dragon Brother Tiger Brother" successfully occupied the young people's market and became popular in the island.

The former made popular Wu Zongxian, who was born as a resident singer and played a role in variety shows, and the latter's brother combination of Zhang Fei and the Demon King swept all the variety shows on the island.

Zhongtian is very busy on the route of mangoization.

Seeing that Yang Dengkui has changed from a gangster to a TV station owner, Wang Yingxiang, Cai Songlin, Wu Dun and others are not jealous.Now we are actively preparing for the TV station...

Although 'grandfather' is relatively short-sighted, some of his attempts and development ideas are still worthy of recognition~~~
No one is perfect, let's open it at thirty-seven.

what?
Why only [-]%?
Seventy percent is still someone else...he only accounts for thirty percent.

In short, there are many kings in shallow water, and there are big bosses everywhere.

The entire Hong Kong circle is full of smog and there is a sense of madness and confusion. Everyone is crazy about the project, regardless of whether the project can be delivered or not.Then all kinds of film sales are booming, and the stocks are also being fired. It seems that everyone is benefiting.

As for whether the movie is good or not...

That's not the essence of what they're after.

"Film is business, film is capital, and film is also operation."

The big guy Huang Baiming is wearing a little plum water gun version of Graves' pool party attire, leaning against the edge of the hotel's indoor swimming pool, with a cigar in his hand, loose skin, and sunglasses on his face, looking arrogant and arrogant.

"I want this Spring Festival file to change directly! Our data report has been 'Perfect' presented to all investors.

The number of our screens is increasing rapidly, and the follow-up videotape business is also on the right track. No matter what other people think, we will use wave after wave of climax to make the audience high with us. "

Snapped--

As she said that, she casually gave the buttocks of the tender model next to her a kick, causing the young model who couldn't hold her hands in her small slaps to throw herself on him and act coquettishly.

Bai Ming's passion for young models is like tearing green onions and liking internet celebrities.

Later, at the age of 73, he still took young models out to sea in a speedboat, at least three times at a time... At the same time, he also liked to introduce young models to others.

"This year's Spring Festival stalls are not weak. Companies such as UFO, Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, and Universal have launched their own masterpieces, and companies from the original train system such as New Art City and Locomotive are also rushing to launch projects. It's the contention of a hundred schools of thought..." the chubby Gu Dezhao, wearing brown sunglasses, couldn't help but say.

"Yes, especially Sir Luo is robbing us for resources." Chen Jianzhong nodded.

"Drop Ream.

What's the matter, the scenes filmed by this group of rushing to the street are not innovative at all, they are just changing the soup without changing the medicine.

Who am I bringing?Who are his group of people?

What level is his team?
With just a few rotten fish and rotten shrimp, Luo Jie dares to be a producer at the level of his mission?
Can he do it?can not do this!I don't have this ability, you know?

I lost in the Christmas file last time. After losing to Mai Dangjie and then Tianmu, no one will lose next time! "Huang Baiming straightened his shoulders and said with hatred.

"There is no way, Sir Luo is now thinking of supporting his people. The project you denied last time, they launched it again, and increased their investment." Ma Wei also interjected helplessly, "Many people in the company are also struggling now. Unspeakable."

"Miss Chan Zhen solves this matter." Huang Baiming thought for a while, but decided to let Qi Jiazhen be the 'villain'.

It's not right for him.

He can't be the only one in the company.If that's the case, it is estimated that the boss should be dissatisfied.

But wasting company resources is something he doesn't want to see.

Although Huang Baiming's grasp of the market has declined over time, you can't deny that he is indeed a very professional filmmaker in this period, and he also knows how to cater to the market.

In comparison, Luo Jiecheng, an outsider, does sometimes appear to be an outsider.

Fortunately, he had Xian Qiran, Yan Guangxing, Chen Xueren, Chen Guoxin, Liang Honghua and other old dogs to help support him, so there was no joke at all.

But to a certain extent, it is also obvious that Yonggao Debao's opposition is divided, and factional struggles make the company very different.

Yonggao Department and Debao Department can be regarded as left over from history.

It's hard to reconcile.

In other words, the boss above did not want to reconcile.

The boss only needs them to make achievements, and then have a capital way to collect money.

During this period, the stock prices of E7 Culture and Amergo have risen a lot, and the latter even involved a lot of "dry cleaning" of large amounts of capital.

Da Liu is recovering his fangs.

He never forgot how he was beaten back from 'Big Liu' to 'Fan Liu'.

Azu?

It was just a dog by my side.

This account must be settled.

The market will not lie, the moment Wu Xiaozu lost his foundation, Liu Luanxiong had already started to plot against him.

He heard some news from Hong Kong Ying, it seems that "Yacasu" seems to be very close to international hot money, and recently participated in the "shock therapy" of Russia, Ukraine and other Eastern European countries...

This is also something he is afraid of, but revenge will be taken slowly.

I believe that many people will see Wu Xiaozu unhappy.

He still understands that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, and he understands a lot!

He doesn't care about art, what he cares about is money.Mani is not in place, who the hell knows that art is Nima?

At this point, Da Liu is an excellent capitalist.Therefore, he looked down on Wu Xiaozu.

On the one hand, I feel that he is indeed an immortal genius of the younger generation in Hong Kong Island, and he can definitely become the next Wu Ka-shing, but he is wasting opportunities and capital in vain.

On the other hand, I also feel that Wu Xiaozu always has the idea of ​​being a craftsman... very petty.

In other words, even though Wu Xiaozu has become the leading capitalist on Hong Kong Island, he does not understand capital in his bones.

Of course, even he has to admit that Wu Xiaozu is indeed a difficult person, if he is not an enemy, it is best not to.He discussed it with Zheng Jiacheng, and both felt that Wu Xiaozu had a forward-looking vision that would see through falsehoods at certain times.

During this period of time, the booming industry driven by movies stimulated the rise of the stock market, and Liu also used these funds to choose to do his own things.

Yes, he doesn't care about movies at all.

This is a tool, not an end.

But it is undeniable that when he saw the crowds in the secondary market caused by the hot publicity of the Spring Festival, he also had to sigh that Hong Kong movies are really popular now.

Although the person who opened this outlet has left, the gust of wind and rain is still attacking the city.

As for box office fraud...

It's a very normal thing, is it possible to start a company and have business results that are not fake? ? ?
False financial reports abound!

The overwhelming publicity campaign during the Spring Festival made the public unable to bear to pay attention to these works released during the Spring Festival.

In the midnight show, in theaters under Debao Cinemas, audiences in twos and threes bought tickets to enter.

Li Xiaozun and Cai Shaobing dressed up in disguise, the assistant went to buy tickets for "New Meteor Butterfly Sword", and the group walked into Hall 2.

"The investment in this drama exceeds 3500 million, and Michelle's drama is really great."

Li Xiaozun hugged the popcorn, wearing a scarf and a hat, she only showed a pair of longing beautiful eyes, a fluffy light pink coat on the upper body, straight white pencil pants on the lower body, and two long and thin comic legs.

On the side, Cai Shaobing's large turtleneck rough-knit dark sweater and black jeans on her lower body are also particularly eye-catching.

After a while, the two girls received many peeping eyes from boys, constantly looking at their legs.

"Isn't Michelle the best female action actor among the Chinese?" Cai Shaoying wore a mask on her face and looked at Yang Ziqiong on the poster. Michelle, Zhen Zhidan, Li Jiaxin, Lin Zhiying..."

"You'll know if you're not powerful, but I really like Meng Xinghun~~" Li Xiaozun's eyes were full of little stars.

She is not a fan of books, but she loves the role of Meng Xinghun very much, and this time she specially brought her best friend to watch the movie together.

Of course, Yang Ziqiong's costume action movies after paying are indeed very gimmick.

"Then do you like Master Qi or Meng Xinghun more?"

"Of course it's Master Qi."

"Huh~~~"

The two girlfriends joked with each other, but the little assistants next to them were scared and dragged them into the arena.

Mainly because they are so hot now.

For fear of causing big news.

Walking into the movie hall, I found that the attendance rate was not as high as expected.

"Didn't you say that tickets are hard to come by?" Li Xiaozun looked at his assistant in astonishment. It seemed that the other party took a long time to buy the ticket, and even the ticket price was outrageous. Scattered viewers always feel that they are not on the right track.

"It's true that the ticket office says it's very popular..." The little assistant couldn't argue with his words, and his face was also full of doubts.

"Maybe it's a matter of the number of sessions." Cai Shaobing rounded up the sentence, and a few people didn't think much about it.

They didn't think about other thoughts at all.

As everyone knows, the situation in these halls is actually similar, but they are 'sold out' on the ticket bill!

This one theater is not bad, the theater next to it takes 10 minutes, and the ticket price is more than twice the normal ticket price.

The plot of the movie is indescribable.

How to describe...

If you put it in later generations, many scenes of this movie are enough to make gods, but in the heyday of martial arts movies today, there is a feeling of "filling the number", especially the rear spots, the lips of the donkey are wrong, and the plot is so torn. .

The overall action scenes are indeed a visual treat.

I have to admit that Cheng Xiaodong's skill is really powerful, especially the battle in the bamboo forest, which is really a classic shot.

It's a pity that it's still hard to hide the overall mediocrity.

It can only be regarded as a mediocre martial arts work.

This disappoints the two of them... The problem is that wonderful actions are not new in this period, just like the endless Hollywood special effects in later generations... The audience has already developed a sense of visual fatigue.

"It doesn't seem as good-looking as I imagined?" Cai Shaobing said in a low voice.

"It's true that I'm a little disappointed." Li Xiaozun's face was full of annoyance, "I knew I would have gone to see Brother Cheng Long's transformation into Chun Li."

yes~~
Although there are no Wang Zuzhen and Qiu Shuzhen, the box office of "City Hunter" is still very strong, especially the scene of Chenglong transforming into Chunli in the trailer recently released on TV and street advertisement screens has attracted many people.

The hilariously funny style is still very pleasing.

It is still the case in later generations.

It's just that the big-nosed dragon is really old. On the one hand, its physical strength can't keep up, and on the other hand, at that age, it is unwilling to do that kind of funny and ugly things. It can be regarded as a status of success...

It's like the later generations Wang Jing commented on Zhou Xingxing.

At a certain age, you can't face yourself to do those actions, and at the same time you lose the state of being able to let go of yourself in comedy.

The same is true for Meganosaurus.

Moreover, he has indeed done too many such scenes, and maybe he really doesn't want to do it-if he still has this funny kung fu style and puts out works of this style for future generations, I believe it will definitely be better than "The British Showdown" ", "Blood of the Machine", "Detective Pu Songling" and the like are much better.

In fact, after the "Shinjuku Incident", it is obvious that Cheng Long has changed his film style...

I can't move, I can't make trouble, and I don't want to do it~~~
What we want to see is his state when he was 40 or [-] years old, but unfortunately, Jack Cheng is already old.

"I'm afraid the box office won't be too high."

"I don't think it will be too high. If you like the wonderful fighting scenes in martial arts movies, there are many choices. You can go to kung fu movies like "Once Upon a Time"."

The two idols are now beginning to be promoted to movie cafes, and they have always half-understood many things in the industry, and have their own judgments.

I probably feel that the box office of "New Meteor Butterfly Sword" will not be too high.

Then--

"The box office of "New Meteor Butterfly Sword" broke through 3 million on the first Wednesday, second only to "City Hunter" and ranked second in the Spring Festival. "Play Back to School [-]" suffered Waterloo? ? ? 』

When Li Xiaozun accidentally flipped through the entertainment news, he was surprised to find that this slightly 'mediocre' martial arts film actually exploded at the box office? ? ?
For a while, this made her doubt her own aesthetics and judgment. . . . .

Immediately panicked.

I called Master Qi overnight, thinking about whether I need to learn some new postures...

Otherwise, you will definitely lose touch with society.

In fact, not only "New Meteor Butterfly Sword" has exploded at the box office, but also two films produced by Yonggao Debao and two or three films released by Yonggao Debao have also done well at the box office!
It's so outrageous.

The entire Spring Festival stall market was directly pulled to an exaggerated result.

For a while, the entire stock market fluctuated from time to time, and immediately hit the daily limit...

The audience was also puzzled.

Is the film market so hot? ? ? ?
But do you feel that this is not the case in the feedback from yourself and the people around you?Many people have only watched "Play Back To School 3" and "City Hunter", but these two movies are not completely explosive.

After all, Zhou Xingxing and Cheng Long's coffee status and box office appeal are there~~
At the same time, many media have also begun to "sing praises" and "retrospect previous debts".

"The box office of Hong Kong Island movies is booming, and Hong Kong movies have entered a new economic era!" 』——The Letter.

"Wing Gao Debao: Good works should not be buried, and good filmmakers should not be unknown. Let Hong Kong audiences watch really good movies!" 』——"Oriental Daily".

"Reflections on Hong Kong Films: Who Delayed the Progress of Hong Kong Films? ? 』——"Metropolis Daily".

"The sound of the whale roars in the Three Thousand Worlds, and the butterfly dream echoes a hundred and eight sounds: One whale falls and all things are born!" "--"Ming Pao".

For a while, Wu Xiaozu and Locomotive Entertainment seemed to really have a feeling that the wall was overthrown by everyone.

But what is more surprising is that the Searchlight Group did not do too many rebuttal articles.

There is a lot of noise in the market, making people who don't know the truth think that this may really be the case——

Destroy grades~~
These flutters are good at using this clumsy method.

Different from these mainstream media, the tabloids are more explicit, and all kinds of gossip news about Wu Xiaozu are springing up like bamboo shoots after rain.

The citizens have a rush to see all the flowers bloom and bloom during the New Year.

This state of burning oil maintains the popularity of Hong Kong movies.

Many people wanted to stand up and speak out for Wu Xiaozu, but they were blocked.

No need.

Or the timing is not ripe.

It's still a long time to draw the list... It's not a good time to make them crazy, so how to kill these cockroaches that were originally hidden in the dark ditch?

Of course, to master the fire, we must not let them develop things too far.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble.

　I came back in the middle of the night... I was so exhausted, Xiao Xiaozhang apologized slightly.
