My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 230
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
The next day, "Young and Dangerous 2 Way of the Dragon" kicked off the hot rhythm of the series of sequels.

In later generations, whether it is Hollywood or Chinese-language movies, IP series sequels are undoubtedly the easiest projects to make money.It has also been sought after by countless film companies.

The same is true for "Young and Dangerous 2"! !
Even relying on the advantage of being younger, this movie triggered a phenomenon of "Young and Dangerous".No matter how much Wu Xiaozu quibbles, he cannot deny that there are indeed elements in this movie that induce teenagers to go astray.

This is like some live broadcasting platforms in later generations, no matter how they justify themselves, they cannot justify the fact that they have spread vulgar values ​​and negative influence, and in the end they have no choice but to pull other apps to block the knife.

In the movie "Young and Dangerous", Wu Xiaozu did not copy the original version when shaping the IP formation stage. He incorporated many unique labels into it.

Just like the first "Young and Dangerous", Luo Dong became a "good boy", the leather pants and leather clothes of the same style exploded, the white hair of the pheasant, and the diamond earrings became popular, "The Messenger of Flowers" and "The Shadow of the Sword" Become a catchy "fashion" for young people.

Zhou Huimin's dress, the soundtrack inside, all make it difficult for those follow-up movies to match.

Wu Xiaozu regarded "Young and Dangerous" as an idol movie from beginning to end.

Therefore, the second song "Blood Burning", "Years of Friendship" and "How" were the first to be recorded on the radio, and began to promote the movie.

Relying on the relationship between Jiang Jiahua and Zhou Huimin in the radio station, the song "How" became popular in Hong Kong for a while.Zhou Huimin also began to shape her own personality as a jade goddess.

Making Zhou Huimin famous is also part of Wu Xiaozu's plan.

"Young and Dangerous 2 Raptors Crossing the River" was released for three days, and the box office reached 510 million, which is more than 10 than the box office of the first three days.

The movie was a hit, but it was also heavily criticized by the mainstream media.

"Gorgeous dancing, machete, smoking, and swearing! "Young and Dangerous" is poisoning young people on Hong Kong Island!!" - "Ming Pao".

""Young and Dangerous" was born, and it instantly aroused the popularity of young people. Countless 'Chen Haonan,' Pheasant' appeared on the street. More and more students skipped class to kill people!
In less than two months, "Young and Dangerous 2 Raptors Crossing the River" was released in a hurry. The whole movie kept promoting brotherly love, but the violent messages and soft pornographic hints filled with it all the time deeply brought bad feelings to young people. influences……"

After Ming Pao decided to "not talk about politics," it focused more and more on local and international hotspots.

When "Young and Dangerous" was released, Wu Xiaozu wrote an article using "Ming Pao" to make his voice heard, coercing Cheng Long and other filmmakers and media to promote the early appearance of the film classification system.

However, at the same time, it also left a problem left over from history - "Ming Pao" has become the sharpest frontier against "Young and Dangerous".Especially "Young and Dangerous 2 Raptors Crossing the River" in order to seek release in a short period of time, the film itself did not make much breakthrough, and it was even slightly inferior to the first one.

After all, it was the first time for Liu Weiyu to direct the camera. Although he has learned three points from Wu Xiaozu in terms of lens, lighting and space control, this cannot conceal the decline in the quality of the entire film.

Of course, mainstream media such as "Ta Kung Pao" and "Wen Wei Po" attacked it, and naturally there were many more entertaining newspapers to vigorously promote it.

"Continuing to write the new order of the rivers and lakes is not about the raptors crossing the river! Tonight, we pay homage to the second master Guan—righteousness!"——"Hong Kong Island Tiger".

"Causeway Bay, Portland Street, Tuen Mun, Central...every place has a hall, where young people who live by day and night come out!

They carry machetes in their arms at all times, like to read magazines on pornographic kiosks, pay homage to Second Master Guan, and show loyalty.They are called Young and Dangerous.

When you come out to hang out, you have to be loyal.As a brother, your name is Chen Haonan, and I would like to be called Zhao Shanhe..." - "Cheng Bao".

"Tattoo on the body of Lei Gong, the applause is given to a woman!" - "Oriental Daily".

"Sexy? Snake? There is a kind of woman who is willing to drown in her tenderness even if she knows she is dangerous. Undoubtedly, Ding Yao is such a femme fatale. Under her charming and tender appearance, there is a man-like ambition..."

Compared with criticizing or washing the ground, "Oriental Daily" specifically focused on "Ding Yao".

Indeed, both Chen Haonan and Pheasant in this play are quite satisfactory. If it wasn't for Pheasant's performance that can be called a textbook at the end, I am afraid that this play will really become a one-man show of a femme fatale.

The outside world was disturbed, and the box office of the whole movie was so hot that it exploded. Luo Dong, Wu Zhenyu, Zhou Huimin and other leading actors successively performed road shows to promote.

Wu Xiaozu paid attention to the box office trend, and was not too worried about the box office of this movie.

No matter how much the media such as "Ming Pao" appealed to criticize, since the film was screened after review, these media cannot actually hurt the box office of "Young and Dangerous".On the contrary, it can bring more young people into the theater.

In the first "Young and Dangerous", Wu Xiaozu shouted the seemingly socially responsible slogan "Minors must watch with their parents."But that's what happened for a reason.

Of course, if the rumors in the market are wrong, Wu Xiaozu doesn't mind shouting slogans again.

Fortunately, the ever-increasing movie box office made everyone in 1024 Locomotive Studio and Debao Company not have to worry about this problem.

In just one week, the box office broke the barrier of tens of millions of box office and directly won the box office of 1400 million Hong Kong dollars.

At a point in time that is not a popular schedule, it can easily win the box office of more than 2 million, which is enough to prove the success of this sequel.Of course, compared to the amazingness of the first film, the stamina of "Young and Dangerous [-] Raptors" will always be affected a lot.

There are countless "Young and Dangerous" movies following the trend on the street, which has reduced the value of "Young and Dangerous" to a certain extent, and affected the box office trend of this movie.

On this point, Wu Xiaozu was also helpless.This kind of thing is the inevitable result of excessive commercialization.

The interests involved in following Hong Kong movies are not even hindered by some bigwigs in the industry.This is also one of the evidences that many people in later generations criticized the underworld for invading the entertainment industry.Compared with other businesses, movies undoubtedly have the lowest threshold and the greatest demand.Although it is full of uncertain gambling, the rewards are also proportional.

Here, "Young and Dangerous 2: Way of the Dragon" is getting more and more popular, and the box office is a big hit, while Wu Xiaozu is devoting himself to the filming of "Fear Room".

This play is full of Wu Xiaozu's new interpretation and release of his own style after the commercial presentation of "Twin Heroes".

Even Wu Xiaozu became very interested in this kind of filming rhythm.

A business, a self-release?
Looking back, it seems that this is really the case.

The commercial nature of "Rainy Night Butcher"
"The Birth of a Prefix" stylized.

Looking at money, "Young and Dangerous" is a variable.

"Double Heroes" must be a film with a strong commercial atmosphere.

"Fear Room" has its own style interpretation.

This rhythm makes Wu Xiaozu very comfortable.

seem……

Earn your own money, cheat other people's money to play your own style, it seems that this is really good.

　I came to the branch for a business trip and caught a cold. I think a cold and stuffy nose is the most likely thing! !When I coded these words, I didn't even know what I was coding.I originally wanted to owe more, but later I typed out these words when I was fiddling with my mobile phone. I thought it must be the sense of ownership that drove me to look down at my chest... Work hard to build a well-off society in an all-round way in 2020!
