459 "Best Partner" did well at the box office
"In the past, there was the Xu brothers' comedy "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" as a foreshadowing, and the three founders of New Art City had the halo of Wang Xiaohu's apprentice on their heads, plus many stars such as Xu Guanjie and Zhang Aijia, the god of songs, Zhang Aijia and many other stars joined, it is difficult for "Best Partner" to succeed or not!" This is the cover recommendation of "Film Fortnightly" in the fifth issue, which should still be completed by Yi Xiujia, which basically processes and sorts out the interview with Wang Xiaohu. [No pop-up novel network]
As predicted by Wang Xiaohu, "Best Partner" detonated the New Year's box office record as soon as it was released, and the funny scenes in the film make people lean forward and backwards, and the whimsical scenes such as Xu Guanjie's adventure scene at the beginning and the flying car coming out of the building feel extremely fresh and exciting for the audience, which is amazing and exciting.
The most surprising thing is Zhang Aijia, in "The Story of Ah Lang", she played the ** that left a deep impression on the audience, but in "Best Partner", she actually self-destructed her image as a "man's wife", and met the audience with a pungent and capable image, which is too jaw-dropping, but Zhang Aijia's acting skills are very good, and the interpretation of this man's wife is particularly pleasing, and the fake couple played by the bald Mai Jia in the film don't know how many people's bellies have been laughed.
In an interview with "Film Fortnightly", when asked about the biggest difficulty in filming two dramas at the same time, Zhang Aijia said with a smile: "The difficulty is still quite high, everyone knows that filming with Brother Tiger is the most tiring, but the script is well written, and I can find my shadow in the role of **, so it is easy to shoot, but it is much more difficult to cooperate with Mai Jia." ”
"How?"
"Mai Jia, they ask for funny, let me make a lot of unladylike movements, I have to shoot several times each time to pass, and there are also fighting scenes, I have never been exposed to it before, I practice every day until late, it is simply overwhelming to think about." Zhang Aijia said with a smile: "But it's still very good for me, at least everyone has seen two completely different Zhang Aijia, and my role in the future has also expanded a lot." It's quite fun to work with Mai Jia and them. ”
"Best Partner", which contains elements such as comedy, adventure, action, and speed, won the box office crown of 5 million a week after its release, and the situation is very good.
"The momentum is like a bamboo, out of control, and the new art city is ambitious."
"Wang Xiaohu has once again added a new genre to Hong Kong films, and I believe that in the next few years, films such as the style of "Best Partner" will dominate the market."
""Best Partner" has a good box office performance, and it has the style of "A Tiger" back then."
At a time when the box office of "Best Partner" is changing drastically every day, Hong Kong's media reporters are also beginning to exert their power, and this kind of icing on the cake is the favorite thing for the media to do.
Half a month after the release of "Best Partner", it broke the box office record of the Xu brothers in the same period last year, so the media immediately interviewed the Xu brothers.
"Mr. Xu Guanwen, in the face of the rise of New Art City, do you have anything you want to say?"
Hui Guanwen smiled and said: "Mai Jia and I are both Concord satellite companies, and I am very pleased to see that the entrepreneurial work of my brother company can achieve such proud results, and I would like to send my heartfelt blessings, and also thank them for their outstanding contributions to Hong Kong films." ”
Xu Guanwen didn't know the pressure brought by the new art city, in the face of the fierce new art city, the Xu brothers group did not panic, after all, Wang Xiaohu said, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, and now the cake of the film market is here, how to eat and how much to eat, it depends on your eight immortals crossing the sea to show their powers.
The meaning of this sentence could not be clearer, the current Hong Kong films have been firmly controlled by the two hegemons of Concord and Shaw Brothers, how to win the audience's love and compete for the box office ranking depends on your own true level, no matter how you fight and how you compete, don't forget a big premise: you are all my Concord satellite company, and you can't hurt the harmony because of competition and other reasons
"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and Wang Xiaohu's apprentices are really extraordinary."
"In the face of the rise of the new art city, the Xu brothers said that they were very calm."
Wang Xiaohu said that the four satellite companies will maintain a good competitive atmosphere and will not be hurt by infighting.
One by one, the media are digging up the gossip they think is valuable, and Wang Xiaohu's home is hosting Mr. Yu Yongjian, the main founder of "Film Fortnightly".
As a top feature critic of Hong Kong films in the 60s, Yu Yongjian has a strong interest in Hong Kong films, especially the study of Hong Kong film history, and the improvement of Hong Kong film culture.
"Xiaohu, you always have to come up with some solutions, now that "Film Fortnightly" has been launched for the fifth issue, but the sales are not very ideal, I am worried that this will continue"
Wang Xiaohu smiled and raised his hand to interrupt Yu Yongjian's words, "Some things can't be rushed, I don't know much about the entertainment newspaper industry, but I also know that every publication always needs a gradual process to occupy the market, the reason why you have the current mentality is mainly because you have given unprecedented effort to "Film Fortnightly", and I still know a lot about this." ”
Wang Xiaohu can still understand Yu Yongjian's mood, although Wang Xiaohu is very optimistic about the future of "Film Fortnightly", but in the early days of the publication, it is inevitable to encounter phenomena such as poor sales, and Yu Yongjian once had a brilliant life, so his starting point is also very high, and he has an ambition to quickly occupy the entire entertainment newspaper market.
It is precisely because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, when the expected goal is not achieved, Yu Yongjian is still a little disappointed. But if you want the audience to accept a fresh product, you always need to give them a time to taste it, right?
That's why Wang Xiaohu said that Yu Yongjian's mentality was not good.
"Xiaohu is right, I'm really a little anxious." Yu Yongjian lowered his head in shame, and after a long time, he asked, "In addition to the plans you mentioned earlier, is there any other way to increase the circulation of newspapers and periodicals?" ”
In fact, there are many ways to increase the circulation of newspapers and periodicals, and the plan proposed by Wang Xiaohu in "Film Fortnightly" is based on entertainment itself, timely and comprehensively excavating information in the entertainment industry, and gradually forming his own style of commentary, so as to pry open up the market share.
"You're an expert in this area, and I think there are many ways to increase the circulation of the publication, such as opening a column about the relatively unfamiliar elements of motorcycles and cycling stunts in 'Best Buddies.'"
Wang Xiaohu's words made Yu Yongjian's eyes light up, and he said yes, on the one hand, the magazines on the market have never reported this, and on the other hand, even if they want to report, the subject of the interview will not cooperate, because Wang Xiaohu has already told Wan Hanfei, Jackie Chan and other stuntmen, if someone interviews them, they must remain silent.
After all, stunts are still relatively new these days, and in the subconscious of Hong Kong people, stunts belong to high technology, and they can only be done in a big place like Hollywood. Who knows, Hong Kong filmmakers are the first team in the world to play stunts.
Xu Guanjie's motorcycle stunt at the beginning of "Best Partner" was basically done by Jackie Chan, wearing a helmet to ride a motorcycle from the elevator, stairs and other places of the building, which is a very dangerous thing in itself, but Jackie Chan is now famous for playing with his life, and he gritted his teeth to shoot these shots.
"If you don't think that's enough, I'll give you a trick." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "You can find someone to print a batch of poker, 54 poker cards with Bruce Lee's photo printed, and every time you sell a magazine, you bundle a poker card with the magazine, I believe this will increase circulation." ”
Yu Yongjian was completely dumbfounded, this method can be thought of, you must know that although Bruce Lee has been away for 3 years, his influence is still quite deep, which can be seen from Bruce Lee's sporting goods store, every day people will visit the store, or buy a book edited by Bruce Lee, or buy a yellow jumpsuit or something, in this way to remember Bruce Lee. At present, Bruce Lee sporting goods stores have expanded to three stores in Hong Kong, and are developing in the direction of Southeast Asia.
"Moreover, there are some important cards such as big kings and small kings, you can re-issue them every few periods, and even limited editions, but you must ensure the quality of these playing cards."
Wang Xiaohu continued, Yu Yongjian nodded one after another, he didn't think about this kind of bundling method, but he didn't expect Wang Xiaohu to use Bruce Lee's prestige to increase circulation, I have to say, this is a bit shameless, no wonder Wang Xiaohu said it was a trick, but Yu Yongjian still agrees with this trick.
Based on the foundation of entertainment, digging deep into the gossip of entertainment, and creating the most professional and authoritative entertainment magazine in Southeast Asia has become the future development goal of "Film Fortnightly".
At the same time, Wang Xiaohu also began to contact several printing houses, began to print a large number of various earthquake prevention manuals, what measures should be taken before, during and after the earthquake, and printed them into a booklet with pictures and texts, which cost a lot of money, but Wang Xiaohu did not show distress, in his original intention, it would be best if one million people in Tangshan each had such a booklet in their hands, but can you guarantee that they will read the booklet carefully when they get it?
Wang Xiaohu felt that this was not realistic, so the number of copies of this kind of propaganda brochure was only 25,000 copies, and the rest had to be carried out step by step according to the established plan.
I'm sorry everyone.,I took cold and anti-inflammatory medicine last night.,I fell asleep unconsciously when I coded the word.,It's 3 o'clock in the morning when I wake up.,It's too tired.,Release the first chapter today.,At the end of the month.,Everyone's monthly pass is to be given to me.。
