Chapter 194: "The Tricky Boy's Hand Covers the Sky"
In fact, Xiao Jian himself knows best that the so-called four points above are indeed essential elements for shooting a high-quality movie, but it is simply unrealistic and impossible to succeed if you want to rely on these four points alone to sell all the box office and succeed.
The reason why Xiao Jian is successful is because both the Crazy Boy series and "Mr. Zombie" are classic movies that have been successful in 'history', and with his re-creation on the basis of the original book, this can make his three movies exceed 30 million box office in a row.
Moreover, to be honest, whether it is the Crazy Boy series or "Mr. Zombie", in fact, the original book has the capital to break through the box office of 30 million, but it has not worked well, or the timing of the release is wrong.
First of all, "Mr. Zombie" was also released this year, in history, it was not released in a popular schedule like the summer file, and the publicity was not taken seriously by the company, it can be said that the release was very low-key, that's it, it also won more than 20 million box office, the fifth best result in the annual box office.
And after Xiao Jian's second creation, there is a lot of hype, and even the actors are much more famous than the original work, coupled with his word-of-mouth effect, if this can't break through 30 million, it really can't be said.
And the Crazy Boy series is even more so, it can be said that this series is definitely a classic, especially for teenagers.
Although the film investment of this series is not large, at most it is a medium investment, but its box office ability to attract money is absolutely terrifying, in history, it was released at the peak of Hong Kong films, and collided with the three people who have formed a 'double Monday' pattern, surrounded by the three, they can still win more than 20 million box office, and rank 5 or 6 at the annual box office, its achievements are absolutely too much to say.
Of course, there are many problems with this series, but in the case of Xiao Jian's second creation and its release 11 years in advance, it is not impossible for the box office to repeatedly exceed 30 million.
Of course, it is not a simple thing to want all six movies to break through 30 million, you must know that in history, from the third part, the box office began to decline, so Xiao Jian also carried out large-scale processing and creation during the filming of the third part, in order to make up for the defects in the original book and make this series a myth in the history of Hong Kong films.
Moreover, the third part is different from the previous two, the investment has doubled, reaching 10 million Cheng dù, in which Xiaojian has added a lot of action, explosion, and large-scene elements, in order to break through the limitations of the original work, to see if this series can glow with a second spring.
Of course, the central idea of the movie is enthusiastic, and Xiao Jian has also been strengthened, with his 30 years of knowledge far beyond this era, as well as the current knowledge reserve, he is confident that the third part from his hand will definitely throw the historical one out of ten streets, as for whether it can be successful, it can only wait for the release.
Moreover, even if this attempted breakthrough is not successful, it is no problem, he knows that in history, when the third part fell into a downturn, the fourth part of the series also allowed it to reach a new peak, so, unlike the large-scale creation of the third part, he only added details to the fourth part, and deleted some unreasonable places, in order to leave a way back for this series.
………
Time is lost like flowing water, and in an instant, the time has come to July 19th, and today, the third part of the Crazy Boy series is fully released.
That's right, this time Xiao Jian did not conduct a test screening, and directly let it be released in Shaw Brothers Cinemas and Yongsheng Cinemas, as well as some small and medium-sized individual theaters, making the number of theaters that this film was released on the first day reach 18.
This approach has attracted the attention of countless insiders, but after thinking about the results of the first two parts, most of them didn't say anything, but there were still a lot of whispers, after all, his approach was destroying the tradition, and it was normal for him to be attacked by some things.
Of course, among the reasons why Xiao Jian is doing this to ensure the box office, he is not trying to make an attempt for his upcoming premiere, to see how Cheng dù is accepted and innovated in this era.
Of course, although it was said to be a direct release, Xiao Jian still held a test screening on the Li Stage, which was only 30 minutes earlier than other theaters, and most of the movie tickets were given away by him, and those film critics were invited, he wanted to see how the film was transformed by himself?
If the effect is good, then he will make more transformations on this basis in the fifth part, of course, it is too early to say this, and we will have to wait for the repercussions after the release of the movie.
At 9:00 in the morning, after Xiao Jian dressed up a little, he came to the Li stage alone, sat down in the middle of the front row, and waited for the movie to be released.
Xiao Jian's unusual behavior attracted the attention of many people, and several friends even covered for him when receiving guests to prevent him from leaving a bad impression.
It's not that he didn't find out about these Xiao Jian, it's just that this is the first time he has carried out a large-scale recreation of the movie, compared to the previous confidence, this time he really doesn't have much confidence, so at this time, it is really difficult for him to get up and deal with others.
It's not that he's making a fuss, in fact, with his current experience and calmness, this situation would not have happened, it's just that he can say that he hasn't modified many of his previous works, so he can guarantee that it can be successful, and even...
In other words, other works are not considered his in a certain kind of heavy journey, and this one is different, under his creation, there is no original work at all, seriously speaking, that is, this is his first original work in the true sense.
In this case, there is no room for him not to be nervous.
Of course, it's more about being nervous, after all, with his current situation, he is not afraid of failure, he has the shooting funds, and he is not worried about not having the funds to shoot the works, but if he fails this time, it will be a big blow to his fame.
Under the nervous anticipation, time passed quickly, and soon, as the lights went out, this original movie of Xiao Jian finally began to play.
