In Causeway Bay, the golden jade is full of bathing, and the wooden red lacquer tag of "temporarily closed" is hung at the door, and the wind blows, swaying back and forth.

The dark yellow glass door is stained with explicit old posters and glue watermarks with raw edges. In front of the cash register, there was a Zraz radio with a voice of two people who had gone out of voice:

"It's a coincidence, my family also lives on Qianmen Street, Shijia Hutong.

Living in an alley?So, why don't I know you?

You went out early, I came back late - we are not allowed to worship the neighbors......"

The old radio makes the quiet bath more popular, and the sound of running water can be heard in the direction of the men's bath.

The steam-stained fan rotated back and forth, splitting the sunlight that poured in on the hot pool, and the light was dim, and the sound could be heard in the lounge not far away.

The light from the glass window hit the small tea cabinet, and several sheets such as Ming Pao, Oriental Daily, Xin Pao, and Cheng Pao were stacked on top of each other, and next to them was an ashtray full of cigarette butts.

"Brother Zu, then I'll send people to a safe place first. ”

Fei Cheng stood up from the pool while speaking, and after a while, the croquet milk blind head trembled up and down, throwing out a lot of water droplets, and the pool fell a whole section, and wiped it with a bath towel in his hand.

"Hmm. ”

Two big hairy legs are placed on the pedal, the chair is tilted, the two chair legs support Wu Xiaozu's whole person to lean back, and a hot towel is applied to his face. Close your eyes and nod slightly.

"His wife also arranged it first, and if she could, she could send it to Australia. ”

"Understood. ”

He picked up a small steamed bun from the cage drawer on the fat table and stuffed it in his mouth, pulled the newspaper and put it under his armpit, and muttered, "Hold his mother." I'll wipe his ass with this fat man who is hurting the street...... You're so daring—"

Pouting and shaking the newspaper, the headline on the front page was a social news headline "Police Cracked Yuen Long Fairview Garden Drug Factory Case Overnight".

"Big guy, you said that this guy is really good at beard Yong! embezzled drug money to gamble, and he still owes money to Diemazai. I heard that the people from the water house came from Tai O overnight to scrape him out...... Lianying's people are also looking for him...... Tsk, this street looks like a declining face, and he is really bold, and he can even hook up with a ghost girl......"

"Do you want me to give you a board and shout Action?"

Wu Xiaozu ripped off the hot towel on his face, glared at Fei Cheng with his eyelids, and smashed directly at him, "You play so much, why don't you go to TVB to replace Ah Xing and host "430 Shuttle"?

"Yes, Sir—I'll go now. ”

Fei Cheng picked up the cage drawer with a smile and stuffed a few buns, while Su Liyao next to him picked up the water and raised it towards him, "Hurry up...... Go ahead, that is the street estimate...... Estimate 11...... A day and a night without a drop of water. ”

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

"The box office of "Fear Room" was about 1.2 million at the first time, and the results were good. Yongsheng Pictures has a lot of publicity, and there are advertisements on the radio, newspapers, and TV stations. There are also many stations and subways.

Early this morning, I got a few newspapers and magazines directly from the distribution bureau, all of which had reviews of "Dread Room". There was a lot of controversy in the newspapers, which had a boosting effect on the box office.

At the same time, seventy-five percent of the audience was interested in the torture instruments and punishments in the film. Surprisingly, 31 percent of the audience was female. At the same time, 91 percent of the audience was amazed by the role of jigsaw.

According to the arc ratio of the number of moviegoers on Hong Kong Island, it is expected that the box office of this movie will be very easy, and the final box office will be fixed between 15 million and 25 million. ”

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

Seeing this, Luo Liang's eyes lit up, and he flatteringly took out a cigarette from the inner lining and offered it, "Wu Sheng, eat a cigarette to relieve fatigue and difficulties...... Authentic Colombian goods, definitely punctual ......"

“……”

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

"Fear Room" premiered, although Wu Xiaozu is not an investor, but he enjoys the investment share. Naturally, we should also pay attention to the box office results of this movie.

Although Luo Liang, a "Taoist friend", has a very poor character, his ability is not weak. Coupled with the convenience of "Victory News", 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 release of the movie, and did a work similar to IMDb's data collection and analysis.

Film is a business practice about "content production". Wu Xiaozu also hopes that the content produced by his company can be closer to the market demand. Being forward-looking just allows you to see far enough, but not necessarily accurately.

After "Two Heroes", he asked Su Liyao and Luo Liang to take charge of this aspect of things, and roughly analyzed the market potential of the film.

In a familiar business model, this kind of data collection agency, which resembles data collection and summarization, is already common.

For example, Hollywood's film market research agency has been around since 1930, and questionnaires directly collect opinions and feedback from audiences. Movie characters, movie plots, and even title tests can play a very important role at the box office.

Hong Kong Island's film market research is very rough, and the midnight scene is a model. But this model actually can't let the producer grasp the real feedback of the audience in the first place.

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

"The Chamber of Fear" was the first film to be served.

That said, the subject matter of this movie still limits the audience. ”

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

"The data is like this, in fact, the classification of horror movies has limited the audience of movies to 18-30 years old men and a small number of women. ”

Luo Liang yawned and sniffed listlessly, "Some time ago, the box office of "Ghost Bride" played by Fa Ge and Honggu was only 22 million.

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

In comparison, the LLL rating of "Dread Room" does affect the box office.

If there is no accident, the 20 million box office of "Fear Room" will be about the same. After all, movie ratings have a big impact. ”

"Electric ...... The film rating and subject matter are all small...... Niche, the box office is really ...... Really affected. Su Liyao also nodded in agreement with Luo Liang's analysis.

The LLL-level movie box office is more than 20 million, which is already because the quality of this movie is indeed high enough, and it has the addition of Wu Xiaozu, Zhou Yanfa, and Liang Jiahui.

After all, this movie is naturally a niche theme.

In terms of subject matter acceptance, "Fear Room" is not to mention comparable to "Two Heroes", even if it is slightly inferior to 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 for young men and women.

There's no way, no matter how good Wu Xiaozu is× he can't change the audience's movie-watching preferences, right? He is not Long Aotian, he can casually make a movie of any theme, and he can soar to 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 later Feng Dacang filmed "1942", it was also star-studded, and the quality of the film was not bad, but it also couldn't change the audience's acceptance in the market environment at that time.

"Dread Room" is indeed too dark and too heavy-mouthed.

"What if there is an accident?"

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

The bold headline "Police cracked the case of Fairview Garden Drug Factory in Yuen Long and seized a large amount of morphine and heroin products" matched the photos of drugs seized at the factory site.

"Yesterday...... Last night, in Yuen Long, CIB, NB and O Kee jointly cracked a major drug processing plant and arrested a large number of drug production personnel and machinery and equipment. According to the police officers at the scene, the incident involved a local community on Hong Kong Island...... "Su Liyao thought about serious things, but he didn't stumble."

"Lianying's processing plant. ”

Luo Liang sniffed the cigarette roll in his nose, and muttered in a depressed spirit: "In fact, this kind of thing can't be hidden for a long time, recently, many Taoist friends know that there are people in Yuen Long who have a large number of bulk goods, and the price of the shipment is one-third cheaper than that of other homes, attracting many people to Yuen Long to buy flour ......."

As he spoke, Luo Liang lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and showed an expression of enjoyment, "If you can't say it, someone will be red-eyed, and you will 'light' the factory."

The main blame is that Lianying is too sloppy. If the king does not lose his secret, his ministers do not know the way to lose his body...... They deserve to be taken to the old nest by the bad guys...... This time, Fat Guy Bo, who is sitting in the hall, is estimated to enter the ancestral hall.

By the way, beard Yong seems to be a fat man, right? I'm afraid a lot of people are shaving beard Yong now......"

"And then?"

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

“……”

Luo Liang looked at Wu Xiaozu's smiling appearance, and the whole person came back to his senses in an instant, and broke out in a cold sweat: It won't be Hu Xu Yong who they talked about just now, right? ?

Thinking of this, sweat instantly covered his forehead.

"I ...... I'm just talking nonsense...... Hehehehe-" Luo Liang squeezed a smile out of his face. I secretly scolded myself in my heart for talking too much. Although he helped Wu Xiaozu collect information on movies, he didn't want to work for Wu Xiaozu.

Although he knows a lot of Wu Xiaozu's black material. But those things pale in comparison to the drug factory case. At most, they will be sued for smearing others and infringing on the right to reputation. Drug factories are different......

"You don't think I'm involved in a drug case, do you?" Wu Xiaozu joked with a squint.

"No, no, no ......," Luo Liang smiled and wiped his sweat.

"Do me a favor. ”

"Wu Sheng, you just have to say, I will go to the soup and fight the fire. Luo Liang opened his mouth and swore an oath, looking loyal.

"Really?"

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

"Bang-"

Luo Liang's foot slipped and fell directly to the ground, closing his eyes on the spot and fainting.

"I didn't ...... Are you okay?" Su Liyao asked enthusiastically, and at the same time, his foot stepped directly on the other party's fingers and twisted it hard.

"Ahh

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

"Don't worry, it's not for you to be a scapegoat. I'm just asking you to be a good and zealous citizen...... Just help me take advantage of the opportunity. ”

Wu Xiaozu said, beckoning the other party to come over.
