My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 305 Whose opportunity to take advantage of, who is born
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

In Causeway Bay, Jinyu bathes everywhere, and there is a wooden red lacquer tag "Closed for business" hanging at the door, which swings back and forth when the wind blows.

Old posters and glue marks with frayed edges are stained on the dark yellow glass door.In front of the cash register is a Zraz radio that is blaring, and it reads a cross talk between two people who lost their tune:

"What a coincidence, my family also lives in Qianmen Street, Shijia Hutong.

Live in an alley?Then, why don't I know you?
You go out early, I come back late—we are not allowed to visit neighbors..."

The old radio made the quiet bath a bit more popular, and there was the sound of water flowing from the direction of the men's bath.

The steam-stained fan rotated back and forth, splitting the sunlight that came in and sprinkled it on the steamy pool. The lights were dim, and there was a sound from the rest hall not far away.

The light from the glass window shines on the small tea cabinet. Several pages such as "Ming Pao", "Dongfang Daily", "Xin Pao" and "Sheng Pao" are stacked together, and an ashtray full of cigarette butts is pressed next to it.

"Brother Zu, then I will send the person to a safe place first."

While Fei Cheng was speaking, he stood up from the pool, and for a moment, the croquet swollen head shook his head up and down, throwing out a lot of water droplets, and the pool fell a whole way, and he wiped it carelessly with a bath towel.

"Ah."

Two big hairy legs rest on the footrest, the chair is tilted, the two chair legs support Wu Xiaozu's whole body to lean back, a hot towel is applied to his face.He closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"His wife has also made arrangements first. If possible, they can be sent to Australia."

"clear."

Fei Cheng picked up a steamed dumpling from the drawer on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, pulled the newspaper and put it under his armpit, muttering, "His mother. I'll wipe his ass for this fat man who hit the street... It's really courageous-"

She curled her lips and shook the newspaper. The headline on the front page was a social news headline "Police Detected Yuen Long Fairview Garden Drug Factory Case Overnight".

"Boss, you said Hu Xuyong is really good! He embezzled drug money to gamble, and owed money to Junket Operator. I heard that the people from the water house came from Tai O overnight to scrape him out...the people from Lianying are also there Look for him... tsk tsk, this pouncer looks so bad, he's so courageous, he's even able to hook up with a ghost girl..."

"How about I give you a call and call Action?"

Wu Xiaozu tore off the hot towel from his face, raised his eyelids and stared at Fei Cheng, and threw him directly, "You have so many dramas, why don't Brother Cheng go to TVB to replace Ah Xing and host "430 Shuttle", okay? Long-winded—Uncle Hua is still waiting for you in the Gospel Hall—”

"Yes, Sir——I'll go now."

Fei Cheng picked up the drawer with a smile and stuffed a few buns, while Su Liyao next to him held up water and waved it towards him, "Hurry up... let's go, it's probably one by one... not a single drop of water in one day and one night." in."

After Fei Cheng left, a skinny man next to him who didn't dare to breathe dared to reorganize his language and report to work.

"The premiere box office of "The Room of Fear" is about 120 million, which is a good result. Yongsheng Films has a lot of publicity, and there are advertisements on radio, newspapers, and TV stations. There are also a lot of hard broadcasts at stations and subways.

Early this morning, I got newspapers from several newspapers directly from the distribution bureau, all of which had film reviews of "Cell of Fear".There is a lot of controversy in the newspapers, which has a boost to the box office.

At the same time, 70.00% of the five audiences are very interested in the torture devices and punishments in the movie.Unexpectedly, female viewers also accounted for 30.00%.At the same time, 90.00% of the audience admired the character of Jigsaw.

Calculated based on the arc ratio of the number of moviegoers on Hong Kong Island, it is estimated that the film will easily box office at tens of millions, and the final box office will be fixed at between 1500 million and 2500 million. "

Listening to Luo Liang's superficial analysis, Wu Xiaozu couldn't help pinching the bridge of his nose subconsciously with his fingers, and his handsome face couldn't hide the tiredness of tirelessly guiding the actress for a night of drama.

Seeing this, Luo Liang's eyes lit up, and he obsequiously took out a cigarette from the inner lining and offered it, "Wu Sheng, eat a cigarette to relieve your fatigue... Authentic Colombian products, definitely on time..."

"..."

Seeing Wu Xiaozu's eyes sweeping towards him deeply, Luo Liang subconsciously pursed his lips, and said with a sneer: "Forget Director Wu, you don't eat marijuana..."

"Fear Chamber" premiered, although Wu Xiaozu was not an investor, but he enjoyed the investment share.Of course, we should also pay attention to the box office performance of this movie.

Luo Liang, a "dao friend", has poor character, but his ability is not weak.Coupled with the convenience of "Shengbao", it is easy to collect some information and materials that are not easy to collect in the market.

Wu Xiaozu also asked him to collect feedback after the movie was released, and the work he did was similar to the data collection and analysis work of IMDb.

Movies are a commercial activity about "content production".Wu Xiaozu also hopes that the content produced by his company can be closer to market demand.Forward-looking just allows you to see far enough, but not necessarily accurate enough.

After "Two Heroes", he asked Su Liyao and Luo Liang to be in charge of this aspect, roughly analyzing the market potential of the film.

Under a familiar business model, this kind of data collection organization similar to data collection and summary is already common.

For example, the Hollywood film market research agency has appeared in 1930, and the questionnaire survey directly collects the opinions and feedback of the audience.Movie characters, movie plots and even title tests can all play an important role in the box office.

The film market research on Hong Kong Island is very rough, and midnight shows can be regarded as a model.But this model actually does not allow the producer to grasp the real feedback from the audience in the first place.

Therefore, Wu Xiaozu deliberately created a department similar to the North American film market survey, and made some questionnaire surveys.

"Cell of Fear" was the first movie to be served.

"So, the subject matter of this movie still limits the audience."

Wu Xiaozu took the coffee handed over by Su Liyao and took a sip, "The market for horror films on Hong Kong Island is relatively small."

"From the data point of view, this is the case. In fact, the rating of horror movies has already limited the audience of movies to only male groups aged 18-30 and a small number of female groups."

Luo Liang yawned, sniffing listlessly, "A while ago, the box office of "Ghost Bride" played by Fa Ge and Hong Gu was only 2200 million.

This is also due to the lingering love bonus of the two male and female stars, especially the rating of the movie is not affected.

In contrast, the lll-level rating of "Chamber of Fear" does affect the box office.

If there are no accidents, the 2000 million box office of "Fear Room" is almost the same.After all, movie ratings have a huge impact. "

"Movie...movie ratings and themes are small...small audience, the box office is...really affected." Su Liyao also nodded in agreement with Luo Liang's analysis.

The box office of an lll-level movie is more than 2000 million. This is already because the quality of this movie is indeed high enough, and it also has bonuses from Wu Xiaozu, Zhou Runfa, and Liang Jiahui.

After all, this movie is naturally a niche theme.

In terms of acceptance of the subject matter, "Cell of Fear" is not as good as "Two Heroes", even if it is not as good as the romantic literary film "Autumn Fairy Tale" starring Fa Ge some time ago.

After all, love is an enduring theme in the film market, and it is also a favorite theme of young men and women.

No way, no matter how awesome Wu Xiaozu is, he can't change the audience's preference for watching movies, right?He is not Long Aotian, if he can shoot any movie with any theme, he can soar into the sky and sell well at the box office.

That's not realistic!

That's not rebirth, that's playing a game.

Just like the filming of "1942" by Feng Dapao in later generations, there are also a lot of stars and the quality of the film is not bad, but it also cannot change the audience's acceptance under the market environment at that time.

"Chamber of Fear" is indeed too dark and heavy.

"What if there is an accident?"

Wu Xiaozu opened the newspaper and threw it to Luo Liang and Su Liyao.

"Police Crack the Yuen Long Fairview Garden Drug Factory Case and Seize a Large Amount of Morphine and Heroin Finished Products" The bold title is accompanied by photos of the drugs seized at the factory site.

"Yesterday...Last night, in Yuen Long, CIB, NB and O Ji jointly cracked down on a major drug processing factory and arrested a large number of drug workers and machinery. According to the police officers at the scene, this matter involved local communities on Hong Kong Island... "Su Liyao didn't stammer when he thought about serious things.

"It's the processing factory of Lianying."

Luo Liang took a cigarette and sniffed it at his nose, and muttered listlessly: "Actually, this kind of thing can't be kept secret for long. Recently, many fellow Taoists know that there are people from Lianying who are bulking up in Yuen Long. The price of the goods is one-third cheaper than other stores, which attracts many people to buy fans in Yuen Long..."

As he spoke, Luo Liang lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and showed an expression of enjoyment, "Maybe someone will be jealous and give the factory 'light'.

It is mainly to blame Lianying for being too sloppy.You don't know the way to lose your country and ministers, but you don't know the way... They deserve to be taken away by the police... This time, the fat guy Bo, who is sitting in the hall, is probably going to enter the ancestral hall.

By the way, Hu Xuyong seems to be a fat boy, right?I'm afraid many people are shaving their beards now..."

"and then?"

Wu Xiaozu's voice was light, and he stared at Luo Liang with a narrow smile.

"..."

Looking at Wu Xiaozu's smiling face, Luo Liang came back to his senses in an instant, breaking out in a cold sweat: They just became fat and they were talking about Hu Xuyong, right? ?

Thinking of this, sweat instantly covered his forehead.

"I...I'm just talking nonsense...hehehehe—" Luo Liang forced a smile on his face.He secretly scolded himself for talking too much.Although he helped Wu Xiaozu collect movie materials, he didn't want to work for Wu Xiaozu.

Although he knew a lot of Wu Xiaozu's black stuff.But those things pale in comparison to the drug factory case.Discrediting others and violating the right to reputation are at most sued.Drug factories are different...

"You don't think I'm related to the drug case, do you?" Wu Xiaozu narrowed his eyes and joked.

"No..." Luo Liang wiped his sweat with a smile.

"Do me a favor."

"Wu Sheng, just talk, I'll go through fire or water." Luo Liang opened his mouth to swear, with a look of loyalty.

"is it?"

Wu Xiaozu looked at Luo Liang seriously, nodded, "Okay, since that's the case, you can go to CIB for me."

"boom--"

Luo Liang's foot slipped and he fell directly to the ground. He closed his eyes on the spot and passed out.

"No... are you okay?" Su Liyao asked enthusiastically, at the same time, he stepped on the opponent's finger and twisted it hard.

"what!!"

It's amazing, the addict who closed his eyes and fainted woke up all of a sudden.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Wu Xiaozu smiling and looking directly at him.

"Don't worry, I don't want you to be a scapegoat. I just want you to be an enthusiastic and good citizen...to help me make trouble."

As Wu Xiaozu said, he beckoned the other party to come over.
