Chapter 136: Market Backlash (3/4)

The fifth daughter-in-law looked at her husband, understood in her heart, and sighed...

At that time, Yongsheng and Chinese stars took the lead!

In 1992, it became a listed company, because of the production of a series of blockbuster movies, the stock price skyrocketed, and even broke through 200 Hong Kong dollars at one time.

However, with the gradual collapse of the Hong Kong film market, the stock price of China Star has plummeted, and at the worst time, one share is only worth more than 1 cent, with a market value of less than 20 million...

It's much better now, because of diversification, the market value is close to 3 billion Hong Kong dollars...

It's not an order of magnitude at all with an orange image...

The rules of the Hong Kong film industry: either my friend or my enemy!

Because, the place itself is not big, but the entertainment industry is developed, everyone looks up and doesn't look down, and a few people holding hands is a wall, and if they are not assimilated, they will have to be eaten.

The rule of survival is either to keep a low profile and forbearance, or to be left and right.

There is also an exception, which is that you are strong enough to be able to fight the entire system.

Like Zhou Xingxing is the last one...

So, he's an outlier!

Lu Xiaoran used to film "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and needed to go to Macau to film, and found Xiang Zuo to play a role, originally wanting to use the power of Xiang Jia, and later, the casino DreamofCity offered to shoot Lu Xiaoran...

So, it's not about friendship...

I've never even seen a face!

Long's fifth daughter-in-law called Cheng Lan, brought her husband a cup of tea, and then said, "Are you looking at his itinerary again?"

“... I'm reading the newspaper!"

"Why did you say he came to Hong Kong to make a movie?"

"How do I know?"

"I read the report, and he said he wanted to make a movie with a pure Hong Kong flavor!"

"A mainlander makes a Hong Kong movie and looks for death!"

“... Yes, since you know that he is looking for death, then leave him alone!"

One thing to say, although Fifth Brother Long started with violence, he rarely has scandals with female stars, his original words are: "It's not very difficult for the company boss not to have scandals with female stars, as long as you insist on it!"

I always think it's because the newspaper is afraid of his identity...

Unlike our classmate Lu Yu, that guy was bold and asked directly, 'Are you a black shooter?'

- "Lu Yu has about 2012"...

It's a pity that there is no 'hehe, I don't believe it'...

As for saying that Long Wu found someone to make his crew unable to film...

Thinking too much, you try to do it today, and you can have a round of blackouts tomorrow?

Lu Qianyi is not a dry eater!

......

The opening ceremony was grand, and a bunch of media came - after all, this is a large-scale commercial film with an investment of more than 280 million Hong Kong dollars.

As the director, Lu Xiaoran, holding three sandalwoods, led the crew and began to worship God.

Yang Shoucheng, Zhou Yanfa, Liang Jiahui, and Zhang Ziyi stood in the second row...

After worshipping God, Lu Xiaoran was interviewed by the media on the spot:

"The script of "Wushuang" is about counterfeit money cases, the story takes place in the 90s of the last century, most of the information was originally confidential, because it has experienced many generations of US dollar anti-counterfeiting technology improvement, and now it is impossible for everyone to use the previous methods to make fake US dollars, so Interpol will put the information of those cases on the Internet. ”

"At that time, about 0.05% of the dollars in circulation in the world were counterfeit banknotes, which sounds like a small number, but the actual amount of counterfeit banknotes was very large - at that time, there were about 40 trillion dollars in circulation every day in the market. Imagine that 0.05 out of more than 40 trillion dollars, even if it is 0.005, such a small number is already a terrible number.

"I remember that among all kinds of real cases, one of them was that the criminal who printed counterfeit money did not stop printing counterfeit money during the period of escape, and he was still printing when he was caught, and when he was caught, he had just finished printing 2 trillion counterfeit money. This was the state of counterfeit banknote makers at that time, which was a macro view, and if you wanted to look at it at a micro level, it was to see how they operated. ”

Most of the counterfeit cases found online occur in the United States, and some of the counterfeiters are "new immigrants" to the United States. Through our research, we found that the reason why these people choose to make counterfeit banknotes has little to do with their background, but is a kind of "pursuit of art". Because most of the counterfeiters turned out to be doing artistic work, we can see his glorious side and his dilapidated side, which is a dramatic contradiction that attracts me. ”

"With dramatic contradictions, the script is easy to write..."

"Why shoot in Hong Kong?"

"The story of the 90s of the last century, of course, I want to put it in Hong Kong..."

"How did you invite Brother Fa?"

"I just sent him the script, and he agreed... I'm a fan of Fa Ge, and this "Wushuang" can be regarded as a gift from fans to idols!"

"Box office?"

"I never think about the box office when I make movies, as long as I make them, they will definitely be a big hit!"

Good... Harvest!

The pretense is over...

......

The opening ceremony of "Wushuang" was really on June 30th, and on the same day, a new movie "So... Married to Black Fans", 23 million box office on the first day...

This movie is really pure fandom, and it is the same as SM.'s "Flower Boy Chain Horror Incident" back then - selling idols!

This kind of movie is only paid by idol fans...

Fortunately, the relationship between China and South Korea has become tense, otherwise, you can see the movies that EXO, Back a Stick, and BTS take turns on the big screen in China, and then reap the box office of fans...

That's the problem!

The film industry is developing too fast, the market is getting bigger and bigger, more and more people are entering the industry, and there are more and more opportunities for filmmakers.

Nobody wants to do this solid content!

Here's the problem, the audience is intelligent...

Then the next day, that is, on July 1, "Bounty Thunderman" was released: Li Minghao + Zhong Xiaowa + Yang Tianbao...

(Tempo replaces Sugar Candy)...

33% of the films were scheduled on the first day, and the average number of moviegoers per show was only 17...

The screening hall is full of people - "Internet Lost", which has only 8% of the film schedules, has an average of 26 moviegoers per show...

What's with?

The market has backfired!

The shelf life of the traffic is too short, really only one to two years...

And more importantly, traffic stars will backfire...

In particular, a series of orange movies have not only boosted the reputation of domestic films, but also let the audience know what a good work is!

At least half a year in advance, the audience began to hate the so-called traffic stars, and even more hated movies that focused on traffic...

The box office of "Bounty Thunderman" on the first day was only 33 million...

This is a commercial production with an investment of nearly 150 million...

So... "Married to Black Fans" is even worse, with 18% of the films, the average number of moviegoers is less than 6, and the single-day box office is 11 million...

You know, July 1st is Friday, 23 million on Thursday weekdays, the film schedule remains unchanged, and Friday's results actually fell by half...
