In just over a week, the box office of "Fear Room" has been booming all the way.

Under movie classification, the first film "Fear Room" rated lll because of violence and bloody scenes has proved the commercial value of this movie with its strong box office results, and it has also allowed countless people to see horror movies and lll movies. Market potential.

Wu Xiaozu's mudslide in the horror movie surprised many people who were waiting for him to suffer Waterloo.

Even, the profits of this movie made many people jealous.More filmmakers and investors have also seen the new pattern and business prospects of Hong Kong films.

When the rules drawn by the three major theater lines are broken, the marketing of movies is even more important.At the same time, the film may return to the essence of "content is king" with a slightly paradoxical attitude.

The more prosperous the market is, the more capital is involved, and the era when content is king is approaching.If the market is desolate, even if "Infernal Affairs" pops up, it will still be powerless.On the contrary, under the booming market, fan movies such as "Tiny Times" can explode into infinite value.

In 1987, Wanwan and Southeast Asian film studios changed their tentative attitude and made great strides into the Hong Kong Island film circle.This is at least 2 years earlier than the previous life.Under such circumstances, an independent production company like Wu Xiaozu has become a favorite in the market to a certain extent.

So, why did Wu Xiaozu promote the establishment of theaters?

Only when capital pours in and the film market explodes with infinite power, will the content be sought after.

Mandarin political films, ancient costume Huangmei opera, Cantonese feature films, romantic films, hero films, hard bridge and hard horse kung fu films, martial arts films, petty citizen comedies, fashion films, gangster films, fantasy comedies, youth films... The development of Hong Kong Island film genres Following the ever-changing movie-watching tastes of the citizens of Hong Kong Island, it is only fitting that horror movies appear.

In the film market, sex and violence are always "fast-moving products" that audiences love.Otherwise, the domestic horror films of later generations will stink on the street, why are there still dedicated filmmakers making a comeback tirelessly?

The lll-level market is the best racetrack to collect money.

"Cell of Fear" is Wu Xiaozu's provocative exploration of the tertiary market.He took a small gamble with Fa Ge, Hui Ge and his own market appeal.

Whether you win or lose, it will not change the fast food commercial nature of "Chamber of Fear".

Even though, this movie was rated as flogging humanity by many film critics.

What is human nature?
It is human nature to be cold, if you exchange something better, you will definitely be willing.Then... if you say yes, you will definitely regret it at that time.

Therefore, in later generations, film talents will fool the audience and talk about feelings.

As everyone knows, what can be said is our feelings?

In that era when grass grows and Yingfei and drunken gold fans kneel and lick each other, feelings = cheating money.He also thought that it would be a very good thing if there is nothing to come out to cheat money when the future generations have nothing to desire.

At that time, the fans will cry bitterly, the film industry will sing praises, and the younger generations will kneel and lick together, and make money by themselves.

Now is not the time~~~╮(╯▽╰)╭~~~.

……

1024 Locomotive Films, Office.

The slender fingers dexterously pulled out an aloe incense stick from the incense tube, inserted it into the ashes of the sandalwood stove, and the cigarette curled up, making one's mind clear.

Wu Xiaozu wore a white round shirt, and a pair of navy blue linen wide-leg pants, sitting cross-legged on a palm cushion, leaning against the window.

Holding the small celadon teacup with his fingers, he took a sip of Wuyi Mountain Lapsang Souchong, the mellow sweetness reverberating on the tip of his tongue——

"There is no problem with the local box office of 2000+."

Jiang Zhiqiang stood on the edge of the ash wood table, playing with the small clay figurines in the shape of terracotta warriors, "Xiang Shisan has completely established his foothold in the film industry this time, earning money and fame. It's not too much—" he tossed and fiddled with the pottery figurine.

"Second Young Master, what you said sounds a bit sour..." Fei Cheng grinned teasingly.

Luo Dong suddenly agreed with a cool face: "Sour—"

Qiu Litao and Liu Weiqiang looked at each other, deeply appreciative, "Very sour."

"Very...very...very sour." Su Liyao nodded.

"..."

Jiang Ershao blushed, and forced his mouth to be stiff, "I'm just discussing the facts." While speaking, he sneaked a glance at Wu Xiaozu who was holding a cup of tea and looking out the window, showing expectation.

Xiang Sheng's movie was a hit, and it was undeniable that it really made him very greedy.

""Young and Dangerous 3" is rushing to shoot, how is the progress?"

Wu Xiaozu did not respond to Jiang Zhiqiang's words, but instead focused on Liu Weiqiang. After all, the "Young and Dangerous" series is the company's killer feature.

Some time ago, "The Great Storm" was released. Although it made a small profit, it is far from being comparable to the main character.

The combination of Li Jiming and Qian Wenqi is not weak, and the new tough young boy Zheng Haonan plays the role, with Pan Weiye's strong support behind him.It is said that for the purpose of filming, there are only a few hundred young and Dangerous people who are pulled out for free to "show horses", and the momentum is quite large.The policemen were so surprised that they asked Hesheng Pan Weiye to come out for tea.

There is not much time left for the new round of sittings in the distance and winning the election, and there is a slight disturbance, and the poor guys are all nervous.

Unfortunately, it turns out that Zheng Haonan can only be Zheng Haonan after all.Viewers of the Young and Dangerous series only recognize one Haonan, and that is Chen Haonan from Causeway Bay.

"The filming is more than halfway through, and it should be finished in two weeks." Liu Weiqiang responded hurriedly.

"Where's Director Li?"

Wu Xiaozu teased Fei Cheng, "Still revising your script draft?"

"Hey, slow work leads to careful work."

Fei Cheng first touched his nose in embarrassment, then raised his chin a little showy, and said triumphantly: "My play is undergoing major revisions now, and Mr. Xie hired the screenwriter of Shaw Brothers to revise the script with me. Rent a Shaw Brothers studio.

The whole play was changed from the Qing Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. The new play not only has passionate scenes, but also touches on history, which is quite perfect——"The Last Love of the King's House with the Green Hat", how about it, isn't it powerful and sharp? "

"Fang... what love?" Jiang Zhiqiang interrupted.

"Fang Yi'ai is Fang Xuanling's second son. Does Fang Xuanling know? Fang Mou and Du Duan don't understand? Second Young Master, you really can't justify it. The most famous Chinese community in the world is called Chinatown!"

Seeing Jiang Zhiqiang's bewildered face, Fei Cheng sighed helplessly, and sighed:

"History is not a mirror, but history is a sperm! Only one survives today after sacrificing hundreds of millions!
The historical figures have worked hard to live out the stories on the copybooks.

What we have to do is to open the title page and show the absurdity and depravity of history.

Not only to be a reader of history, but also to be a man of lofty ideals!My play combines unofficial history, official history and folklore..."

"So sophisticated?"

Jiang Zhiqiang pointed to Fei Cheng, who was spitting and spitting, looked at Wu Xiaozu, and seriously asked for proof, "Has he hit the devil? Do young and Dangerous people need to master so many poses?"

"The Mo Dao that appeared in the Tang Dynasty was a sharp weapon against cavalry. Today's Japanese swords are deeply influenced by Tang Dao."

Luo Dong suddenly said, "When Fang Yiai rebelled, he was planning to use the Modao team to control the palace..."

"But...it's a pity, it was... a farce. In the end, the death penalty was sentenced according to the 'ten evils' in "Tang Law Shuyi". "Tang Law Shuyi" is one of the earliest written laws in East Asia. It is also our existing The oldest and most complete feudal criminal code, with a total of thirty volumes."

Su Liyao added, "After all, lawyers in Hong Kong Island do not take these exams, but as a Chinese lawyer, you still have to know the ability of your ancestors. Facts have proved that our rule of law and legal history far exceed those of the West."

"Goodbye..." Jiang Zhiqiang raised his leg and walked out.

"Is there a mistake? All LLL-level movies need to be this sharp?"

Jiang Zhiqiang turned around and stared at the "constipated" Fei Cheng, who had an unpredictable face, and smiled, "Director Li, can you let me add some investment?"

"Sorry, Second Young Master, you are too late. The investment in this drama is more than 100 million, and the investor has already been confirmed. Xie Laosi has paid a lot for this, so it is not good to dilute the share." Fei Cheng spread his hands , squeeze out the gap.

Jiang Zhiqiang looked helpless and could only accept this answer.

This is really no wonder Wu Xiaozu and Fei Cheng.

At the beginning, at the beginning, at the beginning!

Wu Xiaozu was actually the first to invite him to invest in Jianghu Emergency Film Company, Feicheng's LLL-rated movie.It's a pity that he doesn't like Fei Cheng's nonsense, now...it might become something that he regrets too much.

Wu Xiaozu did not participate in this costume LLL movie.Unexpectedly, Fei Cheng and Xie Xian worked together to come up with such an LLL-level movie script.It also made Wu Xiaozu a little surprised but also slightly looking forward to it.

Now "Chamber of Fear" is a big hit at the box office, which has also stimulated the entire LLL movie market.Wu Xiaozu, a first-line director, has made a good start for horror movies and the LLL market.

Looking at Fei Cheng who was spitting and flying around, Wu Xiaozu was also quite relieved.

Everyone has a field in their hearts, and it will not grow unless they are interested in planting.The big-breasted brother has a honey talent for LLL-level movies.

Wu Xiaozu also hopes that the company can develop normally. 1024 Locomotive Films will only produce normal movies and extended series in the future.

Jianghu Emergency Film Company is struggling in the paradise of LLL-rated films.

This is also interested in establishing a good brand image.

Of course, it is not ruled out that other film company labels will appear in the future.If possible, Wu Xiaozu also hopes that he will have the opportunity or the ability to reorganize these resources in the future, allowing them to integrate and divide the labor—backdoor listing.

It is difficult for the film industry to have another business tycoon, but after the company goes public, it has the opportunity to do these things.

"Several movies will be released in the second half of the year. Jiang Sheng, if you are interested, you can invest first." Wu Xiaozu listened to everyone's answers, then turned his face, smiled and promised Jiang Zhiqiang, making him look happy.

With the development of the film market, with Wu Xiaozu's current contacts, there is no shortage of investment.However, Jiang Zhiqiang is different, the two of them are tied together as grasshoppers.

Anyway, someone needs to invest money in filming, and Jiang Zhiqiang's funds are also used.

Moreover, the three films produced by 1024 Locomotive Film Company and Jianghu Emergency Film Company.The schedule for the second half of the year still needs Jiang Zhiqiang to go to Xinbao Cinemas to discuss.At the same time, he should also be responsible for the distribution in other places.

In the film industry or any business, including begging, how can anyone eat alone?
This year, the magnitude of 1024 locomotives is enough to rank among the top five film companies.This is also the capital for Wu Xiaozu to divide the cake.
