"The best movie of the year was born, Wu Xiaozu, Li Licheng and Luo Dong contributed a classic work that was enough to be recorded in the history of Chinese films!" - "Movie Biweekly".

"This is a work that is truly appropriate to the entire history of Hong Kong Island. When the black and white of the whole film dispels and reveals the vivid and colorful essence, I think I am not the only one who is moved!" - "Youth TV".

"The best historical film in Hong Kong films was born! Its existence has completely sublimated this summer season!" - "Watching Movies".

"The Big Boss" is a work that truly touches human nature. A hundred boats compete to pass through the river, and what is left behind will be beautiful!" - "Daily Daily".

"A Renaissance of black and white images, no better encounter can be compared." - Hong Kong Island Daily.

"Cheng Long: If the box office of this movie is disappointed, it will be a shame for the entire Hong Kong movie!" - "Sing Tao Daily".

"The Big Boss" beats "The Legend of Condor Heroes: The Long Sword of the Condor Heroes", "The Four Detectives", "The Invasion of Sharks", and the box office exceeded 5 million!"

The next day, most professional print media focused on "Big Boss", a work that was highly concerned by the outside world.

Famous film critics such as Lu Yanhua, Fang Paul, Chen Bairong and even Cai Lan and Huang Zheng all praised the drama.

The media, film critics, art and cultural circles have all given high praise to this drama. You should know that this drama has not received any honors.

Even though they praised Wu Xiaozu's previous award-winning works, they did not support them with such a strong position!

Mainly the content of this movie really hit their hearts.

This kind of epic blockbuster has never been seen in the history of Chinese films, let alone Hong Kong films?

What's more, this drama is a story told with their very emotional "black and white" images.

At the same time, this method is different and not abrupt, and it will not even make them feel like a show-off. Instead, it adds to the sense of history, especially when the whole movie ends, the whole movie feels colorful and instantly sublimated!

Many filmmakers and industry insiders also praised them when they participated in the premiere.

And a director named Xu, who was unwilling to be named, said bluntly: "Director Li is a god! The best director of the Academy Awards will be finalized next year!"

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Such a reputation explosion also made Li Licheng very popular.

Originally, there were a lot of "Little Wu Xiaozu", "Little Wu Xiaozu" or "Director Wu's successor"... It turned out that the next successor was Director Li!

"The Four Detectives", "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and the most disappointing "Shawks Invasion" throughout the summer season are in danger under the overwhelming news craze, without any page.

Ming Pao and Oriental Daily also collected money to promote it, but the feedback brought by the entire film critics, film industry and viewers directly drown their reports under a huge wave.

This made many movie fans not pay attention to those movies at all, and all focused on this blown-up work.

The consequence is-

"Four tickets to "Big Boss" will do any show!"

"Give me a ticket!"

"Big Boss!"

A strange phenomenon occurred at the entrance of Xinbao Theater. Many young people went to buy tickets with great enthusiasm. Wuyang and Wuyang were crowded with people, and the attendance rate of the entire cinema remained above 70%.

Then--

15 minutes after the movie started, people came out with strange faces and felt guilty.

Then 30 minutes after the movie started, there were scattered people coming out... Generally speaking, not many people walked out, and the main body was composed of very young boys and girls.

After they came out, they looked at each other and then silently cursed 'trash movies.'

But after scolding, I felt a little guilty.

Because they also know that this movie is probably not the junk movie they call.

that is……

It doesn't seem like the summer season they imagined.

Although they only watched it for half an hour, they could not say that the movie was bad or bad. They could only say that... at this point in time, they did not want to watch such a work. In comparison, they would rather watch a brainless movie-

Just like the Big Nose Dragon, who is stupid and has high-energy joy and movements! (Big Nose Dragon: I'm knocking you!)

The main reason is that the tone of this movie is really too sad!

They just want to have fun, make an appointment, pass the time... They want to spend 90 or 120 minutes leisurely.

But this movie really makes people feel heavy.

In fact, this is also the biggest problem in this movie, so Wu Xiaozu didn't care too much about the box office of this drama.

"Living", "Farewell My Concubine", and "Schindler's List" are all classics in film history, but some people still haven't watched it... or dare not watch it.

Not that it's bad.

I just think it may not be suitable for everyone's preferences, and you can even say that not everyone is interested in these things. After all, urban men and women have a very fast pace. Even if they cry, they will be the kind of people who quickly let go and collect quickly... It shouldn't be the kind of content that makes them think a lot.

It's like young people like to eat sweets, spicy and heavy-mouthed foods.

However, when they reach a certain age, or experience, and experience increases, they will find that they no longer love the "boiled meat slices" they once liked to eat, "fish-flavored shredded pork", but fell in love with the "bi cabbage" they didn't like to eat when they were young...

Very normal.

This is the correct social multipolar orientation.

As long as there is no problem with the principle issue, there is actually nothing wrong with this situation.

You can't just say that you are inferior just because you don't like serious movies or serious literature... That's because of hypocritical elitism.

Therefore, Wu Xiaozu didn't care much about the opinions and encouragement of film critics and filmmakers.

Although some young people will subconsciously avoid works with such themes, some people will still watch them... and like this drama.

This is enough.

This city's "Architect" has always existed, but it is enough for young people to feel the feelings of family and country.

On the market, many film critics and filmmakers were also confused when they saw the "weird and changeable" box office of "Big Boss".

this……

Just when they were feeling that many movie fans were blind, they unexpectedly discovered that many college students and middle-aged people who started their families liked this drama very much.

It’s okay for the former to be the ones they meet the potential viewing groups identified by film critics.

But the latter is very strange - in theory, middle-aged people who start a family and start a business are not the main force in the box office of the movie.

Many times, they may not necessarily enter cinemas many times in a year. Even if the average number of Hong Kong people watching movies has always been far ahead in the world...

Young people have always been the main contributor to the box office of the movie, which is also the reason why the so-called generation of versions and generations of gods!

Sometimes, it is not that the creators cannot retreat, but that the viewing group has made progress.

These middle-aged people,

They walked into the theater silently and watched silently.

After reading, I may smoke a cigarette, then continue to drive a taxi, or continue to pick up goods at the dock and pick up the children after school...

At the same time, many elderly people also walked into the theater.

The reason why they entered the market was the same as the reasons why many young people who chose to leave the market were black and white films - this is a black and white film!

Your black and white are actually their youth.

This happened to Wu Xiaozu.

So I found that the box office of "Big Boss" formed a particularly paradoxical curve - there was no big increase, but no big drop either.

The overall fluctuation has maintained a smooth fluctuation and revenue.

When the box office of "Big Boss" exceeded 20 million, "Police Story 3 Super Police" released later, it had already exceeded 30 million.

When others saw this, they were all ready to go.

They have encountered movies that are very popular but not popular.

Naturally, they all had the idea of ​​"It is better to chase the enemy with the remaining courage" and took this opportunity to break the so-called classic "Big Boss"!

Then new films emerge one after another!

What's the effect-

Their fight was bloody. During this period, Andy Lau's "The Legend of Condor Heroes" who had to work overtime due to the bleak box office, which was squeezed by these new films, the box office continued to plummet, and did not even break through HK$6 million.

It's simply a terrible loss!

But not only did they keep trying, they also increased their efforts to sneak attack from behind!

More than a dozen new films were swollen at night, making Andy Lau’s mouth swollen and became popular!

Seeing this situation, he felt like he was crying without tears.

Watch "Big Boss" again-

Ream!?

The situation of shrimp??
