PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!

"Little Man Weekly" failed at the box office, and was released for nearly ten days, with a box office of 5.2 million Hong Kong dollars.

This result is not bad for other movies, but in the movies produced by 1024 Locomotive Films, it is definitely a fiasco at the box office.

The main drama is expected to be a sustainable fashion drama IP in the company's internal expectations.

The target audience is white-collar workers and middle-aged men, who have the attributes of crazy men.

starring Lin Qingxia, Honggu made a cameo.

In addition, Qiu Shuxia, Zhou Huimin, Ye Zimei and Li Xiaokai are the icing on the cake, even with their appearance, they can attract male audiences. But this movie, which has many star cameos, really encountered Waterloo.

This kind of strange thing, even Wu Xiaozu, was unexpected.

"What's the matter?"

Walking into the conference room, I saw Yu Weiguo, Qiu Litao, Chen Jiachou and a young man sitting around, the whole room was full of smoke and the atmosphere was very depressing.

"Brother Zu!"

"Boss!"

"Director Wu!"

Seeing Wu Xiaozu enter the door, the four of them hurriedly got up to say hello, and Qiu Litao was even more ashamed and depressed.

It's true that Chen Jiajun is a newcomer, but he's not?!

There are many disciples trained by Wu Xiaozu who are now in the position of director, whether they are fat, stupid, or long-legged kings, the results are quite amazing.

Instead, he ......

Speaking of which, he is the number one disciple of the Wu family.

At the beginning, although the box office of "The True Story of Pretty Girls" was unsatisfactory, the rate of return was not low, mainly because the cost of that drama was too low, and he made a lot of money by taking advantage of Mai Dangxiong's east wind.

Can...... This "Little Man Weekly" really made him faceless.

He, Wu's long hair, fell in vain...... It's a shame to be ashamed.

Silly Qiang called to comfort him: People are old and loose, what are you doing. There are snow showers in the chrysanthemum, and there is no moisture at all.

"Looks, look unlucky......" Wu Xiaozu patted Qiu Litao's shoulder, and his tone was relaxed and joking, "It's just a box office failure, and it's not a cuckold." Don't be so decaying......"

"Brother Zu...... I ......" Qiu Litao stopped talking again, his eyes ashamed.

"Okay, what's the deal. There is no way to make a movie, and this drama is not a loss now. Wu Xiaozu always smiled, patted Chen Jiachou's shoulder, gave encouragement, and finally fixed his eyes on the face of the last young man......

"Brother Zu, this is Chaozai-Lin Chaoamaranth. Qiu Litao took the initiative to introduce and touched the nervous Lin Chaoran, "Chaozai, don't say hello to Brother Zu yet." ”

"Brother Zu!" Lin Chaoran hurriedly bowed his head and said hello, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

Wu Xiaozu!

The four major directors of Hong Kong Island, Director Wu's magic is boundless!

Wu Xiaozu has become the "god" in the hearts of many young people on Hong Kong Island.

A Palme d'Or is really huge!

The problem is that he not only has honor, but also the box office!

"Two Heroes" stands above the heads of all filmmakers!

"Superboy...... Have you been in contact with the computer industry before?" Wu Xiaozu glanced at the other party's baldness, this head, without ten years of experience, it is difficult to be so bald!

“？？？”

Lin Chao's face was confused, and he didn't know why.

If you think about it again, you may ...... This is the style of speech of a great director???

Thinking about it again, he seems to have heard that Hollywood has tried to combine computers with film production, could it be that Director Wu told himself to keep learning?

Come to think of this!

Bald Lin Chaoamaranth's face changed slightly, no wonder many people mentioned 'Wu Dao', all of them looked up to the mountains, and even said that Wu Xiaozu was a "good teacher...... Even, many people assert that Wu Xiaozu will be the next movie master on Hong Kong Island, and sure enough!

Looking at people's calm and unhurried bearing, they really deserve those four words: Yuanyu Yuezhi!

Master Wu!

Bald Lin looked up excitedly at Master Wu and sat down...... An infinite sigh rose in my heart

"Ah Guo, tell me about the specific situation. ”

Wu Xiaozu was also very surprised that the box office of "Little Man Weekly" was out of ...... It shouldn't be.

Of course, the commercial behavior of movies is often in the nature of gambling.

The box office failure of a good show is a common thing in this industry!

Later, Lao Du's "Oriental Woman in Three Leathers", Man Shen, Yang Ziqiong, and Anita Mui, with a cost of tens of millions, could have become the Chinese version of "Thunderbolt Jiaowa", who knew that the box office hit the street directly to the sewer.

and Xu Yu's "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" two years ago......

In comparison, "Little Man Weekly" can only say that the box office did not meet expectations, and it is not really miserable.

The main reason why the outside world is singing and declining now is because this drama is a movie produced by 1024 Locomotive!

Therefore, Wu Xiaozu's first thought was to ask Yu Weiguo. The other party is responsible for market research and determining the target audience group, so that the publicity department will be targeted!

This time the box office did not meet expectations, and he needed to understand whether the target audience had made a mistake!

"Okay, boss. ”

Yu Weiguo took the data and distributed it to the crowd, explaining: "According to our prior target guidance requirements, we immediately surveyed 300 citizens with box office spending power, of which 178 people had listened to "Little Man Weekly", and more than half of them were interested in adapting the radio drama into a movie.

This survey lasted three times, and after comparison, it was found that the target group of this drama is concentrated in men aged 25-35, accounting for more than 78%, which can be said to be a film composed of male audiences as the main viewing group.

After the film was released, we surveyed 200 viewers. 16 bits are given to A+, 54 bits are given to A, 106 bits are concentrated between B- to B+, and the rest are C and below.

In terms of data, combined with our publicity, the box office target of this drama is set between 12 million and 15 million. ”

Jiang Shao's internal box office qualification target is 12.5 million. Qiu Litao added.

"I remember that Debao's movie and Golden Harvest's new drama were released at the same time?" Wu Xiaozu tapped his finger on the table, and beckoned to the secretary suspiciously, "Check the box office of the two movies for me!"

"Brother Zu, the two dramas have some influence, but not much. ”

As a professional data master, Yu Weiguo is very sensitive to numbers, and he knows all kinds of data by heart, and he opens his mouth, "The box office of "Double Fat is Coming" is 6.7 million! "Three Pairs of Mandarin Ducks and One Bed" has only received 1.9 million so far!"

“？”

Wu Xiaozu was stunned, and the scene between Zhang Xueyan and Honggu was too miserable at the box office...... You don't have to think about it to know how miserable this drama is.

Honggu doesn't say it, Zhang Xuejian has returned to the light in this life because of Wu Xiaozu's original performance of "Mong Kok Carmen".

Well, this time, it's completely bottomed!

It is estimated that the box office will be up to 3 million, and it will be cut by the theater.

"Actually......"

Yu Weiguo peeked at Wu Xiaozu and whispered: "The main reason for affecting the box office is actually not the above two movies, but ...... Western Slice & ...... Salty wet tablets!

On the western film, Golden Harvest introduced Hollywood's movie "Flying to the Future", and the Golden Princess introduced the anime film "Valley of the Wind" by Hayao Miyazaki and "The Dragon" starring Arnold Shuhua Xinlijia ......"

Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Cantonese translator, is Arnold Schwarzenegger! "The Terminator" made him popular, while the "Devil's Series" sci-fi and "The Ultimate Warrior" further cemented his status as an action star.

At this time, it was indeed the era when action superstars from the East and the West began to blow out! Unlike later generations, it was difficult for action movies to produce superstars...... Although Dwayne Johnson has stepped into the first line, his box office appeal and influence are not at all in the same order of magnitude as his predecessors, let alone Guo Dastatham in B-grade films......

Wu Xiaozu frowned.

Amazing...... Before he started, these shameless guys began to introduce Western films one by one.

It has to be said that no one is a fool!

In the face of interests, these businessmen really have no bottom line! What about the good idea of creating a big era of Hong Kong films?

Wu Xiaozu pondered in his heart, it seems that he has to work harder!

How else can you overdraw your potential?

It seems that the only way to make money in the stock market is to make money...... Hey, I'm still too kind......

"Removing the western chips, the biggest impact is actually the salty wet chips!"

Yu Weiguo said helplessly, "Male audiences are all attracted to the theater by all kinds of salty and wet films, although they are still shoddy, but looking at the titles, they are more tempting than the other! What is it like...... "Spring, Lust, Lust, Fire and Lewdness", "Subway Forced Annihilation Record", "Perverted Demons Rape One by One", "Secret Examination of the Salty and Wet Holy Hand", "Lustful Enchantress Yang Guifei", "Seven Lewd and Six Desires Yang Guifei", "Seven Lewd and Seven Desires and Seven Fairies", "Erotic Dream of Red Mansions", "Salty and Wet Family Welcomes Spring", "Salty and Wet Boshidang Secretary", "Lustful Cheap Maid", " Lustful Twin Sisters Salty Coach", "and Prostitutes" ......"

Wu Xiaozu doesn't know how many of Yu Weiguo's thoughts will become ***, as for the attractiveness...... Look at Qiu Litao, Chen Jiachou, and Lin Chaoamaranth to see the effect if they breathe faster!

These salty wet tablets are really simple and crude. A movie that can be made by one or two people...... Otherwise, Fei Cheng's "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty: Yantan's Last Love: The Last Love of the Green Hat Royal Family" is a work of art?

Behind these movies are all the old boys in various small clubs, they really start filming today, edit tomorrow, and release the day after tomorrow...... It's more efficient than stabbing the director of the big iron stick hospital!

"The box office of these movies is not high, at most it is a million, not more than 2 million! But the volume is too large......

Yu Weiguo said this with a helpless face, "I can't investigate when I do an investigation, the theaters are all fishy, and the entire ticket market, many theaters will show these movies after midnight." In just ten days, more than 35 salty wet tablets have been released......"

“…… (ΩДΩ)……”

Director Wu is like a fish in his throat, and there is a kind of rush to lift a stone and hit his own feet.

He led the revival of salty wet films, but he didn't expect the salty wet market to be so vigorous...... Especially in the off-season of movies, when the audience group is aimed at the male 'crazy man' group, these salty and wet films are really too powerful.

The rate of changing films is also very high, and one will be re-staged in a few days at the earliest.

After the midnight show, it simply became a world of salty and wet films!

Although the types of movies are different, the general total amount of the ticket market will not fluctuate too much without the stimulation of explosive models. These men's pockets are all drained by salty and wet films, and naturally they are relatively less invested in other movies.

Especially since this is the off-season, it depends on these young and middle-aged men...... It's good now. Hong Kong Island men are already under pressure and have no resistance to salty and wet at all.

This means that Lin Qingxia, Honggu, Zhou Huimin, Qiu Shuxia and others have raised the box office, otherwise, it is really miserable!!

In contrast, "Double Fat", which set the movie in the family carnival genre, was the least affected. The movie-going crowd is not limited to white-collar and middle-aged male audiences, but more of a family collective on Saturdays and Sundays.

This is one of the reasons why actresses in the 80s did not sell for money. It's really that they have too little blessing for the box office.

Of course, in later generations, I haven't seen a few actresses who can really resist the box office.

Those famous Hua Dan are really not comparable with the four new Mesozoic traffic in the mainland: hairstyling model Xu Danbald, Qingdao lady Huang Wuwang, military art school grass king Duoyu, and steel straight man Wu Wolf King.

These four people should be regarded as the four major flows of the Mesozoic generation in the mainland film market.

At this point in time, the real box office traffic should be "Fa Ge", "Uncle Long", "Sanmao" and "Xu Guanjie".

Of course, as his brother became more and more popular, he also began to transform towards movie traffic.

"Salty and wet tablets ......" Wu Xiaozu chewed a few sentences, and his eyes were fixed on Qiu Litao, "Long hair, go back and contact Brother Zhen to see if the structure of the French woodpecker company is smooth, and at the same time with Jiang Ershao, let him arrange for the woodpecker company to start shooting movies as soon as possible!"

Salty and wet tablets were overflowing, and Wu Xiaozu didn't think of acting as a virgin.

What he has to do is to grab a piece of fat on this wave of quick money, and at the same time establish his own brand effect of 'woodpecker'.

"Okay, Brother Zu. Qiu Litao nodded, and stopped talking: "Brother Zu, I ......"

Looking at Wu Xiaozu's smiling and encouraging gaze, he gritted his teeth and continued, "Brother Zu, I want to restart the second part of "Fear Fighting Room"!" After speaking, he looked at Wu Xiaozu with hopeful eyes.

No one in the "Fear Room" series is more suitable than Qiu Litao, originally, Wu Xiaozu wanted to make his big apprentice the director of this series, and the other party was also very willing, and had already begun to prepare-

But......

Maybe the other brothers under it are too talented...... On the contrary, it made him hesitate, and finally gave up halfway.

And he is not to blame for that.

There are several brothers, even if they are big-breasted brothers, in the history of Fengyue films, a "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty: Yantan's Last Love: The Last Love of the Green Hat King" is enough to be in the top ten in Chinese history, and this movie has already made him one of the new generation of great directors of Fengyue films!

Although this drama has Wu Xiaozu's lens style and Li Hanxiang's artistic style, no one can deny the contribution of the big-breasted brother!

What's more, the other party in "Crazy Boy 1" is also a director. Although everyone knows that it is a work supervised by Wu Xiaozu, it can basically be regarded as a movie of Wu Xiaozu, but after a few decades, who knows this? ?

This also makes Qiu Litao always a little unconfident, and constantly goes to help others.

This point has lost its sharpness!

Wu's one-door, enterprising first! If you lose your sharpness, it is difficult to achieve anything!

Wu Xiaozu didn't expect that this defeat would stimulate Qiu Litao's fighting spirit...... is worthy of being the famous "Godfather of B-grade films" on Hong Kong Island in later generations!

If you study Hong Kong films, after the 90s, you can't jump this king of B-grade film directors! Because he is too prolific! And every drama can make investors make a small profit, which is terrifying!

Although his films are limited to cult films such as ghost movies and LLL films, he can actually become the kind of director that film companies like the most, especially Wu Xiaozu, who has a video tape company, this proper video bigwig.

The status is equivalent to that of China Literature...... (⊙o⊙)… Mobile client bigwigs are the same......

Moreover, in addition to making money, cult films can actually refresh the style.

It's just that the limitations of Hong Kong Island limit Qiu Litao.

Of course, with the guidance of my own famous teacher, it may not be impossible for my loyal apprentice to become a first-class director in Chinese!

Don't mention the past, just look at the present, Director Wu's Huangpu Class 1 Four Dharma Protectors have been fully equipped:

The commercial box office weapon of the comic adaptation plan is the commercial director - Liu Weiqiao!

Refresh your life with forced style, and dig a big pit with money to dig a literary and artistic pit - the king loses money!

The master of Fengyue who single-handedly supported the pinnacle of Chinese Fengyue - Li Licheng!

The king of Cult films who forges blades with high yield and paves the throne with diligence - Qiu Litao!

"Okay, I'll be the executive producer of your new play. Wu Xiaozu, the Sect of Ten Thousand Masters, bowed slightly, "Go back, you hand over the shooting plan to the production department, and we will discuss the script together." ”

"Thank you, Brother Zu!" Qiu Litao concealed his emotion and nodded fiercely.

"Don't be disappointed if you want to shoot ideas, leave it to the production department, as long as the plan is feasible, I won't be stingy!"

Wu Xiaozu also comforted Chen Jiachou and Lin Chaoamaranth, and the two were also very grateful.

"Waterloo~"

Zou Dingou pushed the newspaper onto the table with a smile, and it was difficult to hide the schadenfreude in his tone, and said: "Our Cannes director also made a mistake, and the hand-picked scene failed at the box office. It is said that this drama cost no less than 1.5 million just to publicize it! Even if Lin Qingxia and Honggu are all friendship prices, the cost will not be less than 2 million, only more, not less!

The messy expenses in the later period add up, and the most conservative estimate is about 3.8 million, and now the box office is only 5 million, and it is an indisputable fact that it loses money.

Director Wu is estimated to be in a very uncomfortable mood now...... Hehehe......"

"After giving birth, if you are too light, the enemy will always suffer. ”

He Guanzhu smiled and groaned, and his voice changed, "But this play is a rookie director, which is understandable." If every 1024 locomotive sells well, it will really be a miracle. This has made me feel a lot more at ease. ”

"Brother Chang, what is my eldest brother's attitude?" Zou Dingou asked with a smile.

"Your big brother?"

He Guanzhuan pushed his glasses, looked around left and right, and laughed in a low voice, "He went to Hollywood to talk about the movies that are being screened in North America...... We at Golden Harvest have been in contact with Hollywood since the 70s, and it is not a waste of time...... If there was a Shaw Brothers back then, now, I am afraid that no one in Hong Kong can understand Hollywood better than we do. ”

"Western film introduction?" Zou Dingou looked at him and nodded thoughtfully.

Who doesn't know that Director Wu Da is going to release a new drama in the summer, it seems that his eldest brother is happy on the surface, but there are a lot of stumbling blocks.

Wu Xiaozu is in the limelight, but no one will be willing to give the summer file with both hands!

It can be said that at this time, the summer file is the most important firefight battlefield of the year, and there is no one!

……

Rich Films.

"Azu also has times when his eyes wander......"

Cai Zhiming was wearing a suit, his legs were on the desk, and he threw the newspaper aside.

"1024 Encounters Waterloo, the Inevitability After the Peak?" - "Sing Tao Daily".

"Film investment can't be 100% in the first place, and this drama has also been affected. I watched "Little Man Weekly", and this Chen Jiachou is still quite talented! ”

Wen Jun, who had a rosacea nose and a short and fat stature, said: "I suggest that we can talk to this kind of talented director and see if it can be used by us." ”

"You can give it a try. If you come first, Azu won't get into trouble with us because of a money-losing goods. However, our top priority is Wang Jiawei's new drama "The True Story of A Fei". ”

Cai Zhiming said this with a solemn expression, "This drama is an opportunity for me to talk about it with great difficulty." The whole drama is filmed together in two parts, and there is another investment from Xiang Thirteen, as well as the investment of Deng Guangrong, the master of the film, and even the investment of Tomson Film Company. We must keep an eye on it, this is the rooster that lays golden eggs!"

"I'll take it seriously. Wen Jun listened to the other party's determined words, and some words were not easy to speak.

He always felt that Wang Jiawei had the temperament of an 'author and director'.

The common trait of these directors' films is that they are difficult to sell at the box office. Especially with tens of millions of investments in this drama......

However, Wang Jiawei is known as "the next Wu Xiaozu", and now it is hot, and it is an opportunity for the boss to exchange his company, so he naturally has to pay attention to it.

"These salty and wet films have a lot of money, and you can support these films more. Cai Zhiming thought about it and said, "The summer season of Hong Kong Island movies is very important, see if there are suitable candidates to make a movie as soon as possible." ”

The meaning of the words is self-evident.

The summer season is not only the most fierce battlefield at the box office, but also a time when various small companies take the opportunity to cheat money.

"Didn't Azu make a piece of flowers, you study it and pull some investment!"

The film is the best weapon for these community film companies to make money.

"Okay, but if you want to sell for money, you still have to have a star as a guarantee. Wen Jun said.

In his later life, he seemed to expose the admission of the club, but in fact, he was no less accomplice. During this time period, no one can say who is clean, and the world is as black as a crow!

……

"Golfing?"

When Wu Xiaozu received He Chaoqiong's call, his expression was strange.

Miss gao...... Miss Guan was used by herself last time and went out on vacation, not to mention Guan Erfu ball...... I can't remember to turn off the ball without mentioning golf.

"yes, there's a gift for you. He Chaoqiong on the other side of the phone was in a good mood, "It can be regarded as a comfort and comfort to your box office failure." ”

Director Wu Da's face darkened.

My company hasn't lost much money yet, and bad things have spread thousands of miles!

There's no way, the previous 1024 locomotive is really a tiger, and every movie makes a lot of money. This sudden bump in the road naturally became the news for the first time.

"Okay, I'll see you later. Wu Xiaozu shook his head, not paying much attention to He Chaoqiong's ridicule.

On the contrary, he was a little surprised that He Chaoqiong suddenly played by herself.

Think about it, maybe the other party is also worried about "Gambling God", right?

No way, this is a little negative effect of "Little Man Weekly".

Fortunately, 1024 Locomotive is not a listed company at this time, otherwise the stock price may be affected a little.

It's like the play of the doctor in the previous life was removed, and the stock price of the production company plummeted......

In fact, Wu Xiaozu himself didn't care too much about this matter.

Even if you have a unique vision, the success of a movie is also affected by many things, and you can't control it. His only advantage is the quality of the film itself...... But you can't control the market!

The box office failure of "Little Man Weekly" may not be a bad thing!

Here, Wu Hsiao-zu drove towards the Fanling Golf Course.
