PS: Please recommend votes, please votes for monthly votes!
"The Little Man's Weekly Diary" failed at the box office, and it has been released for nearly ten days, with a box office of just HK$5.2 million.
This result is good for other movies, but among the movies produced by Locomotive Film Company in 1024, it is definitely a crushing defeat...a box office defeat.
The main reason is that this drama is a sustainable fashion drama IP in the company's internal expectations.
The target audience is targeting groups such as white-collar workers and middle-aged men with perverted attributes.
Starring Lin Qingxia, Hong Gu’s guest appearance.
In addition, Qiu Shuzhen, Zhou Huimin, Ye Zimei and Li Xiaozi add icing on the cake, even with their appearance, it can attract male audiences. But this movie with many celebrities guest appearances really encountered Waterloo.
Even Wu Xiaozu could not have expected such a strange thing.
"What's the matter?"
When I walked into the conference room, I saw Yu Weiguo, Qiu Litao, Chen Jiayan and a young man sitting around. The whole room was filled with smoke and the atmosphere was very depressing.
"Brother Zu!"
"boss!"
"Director Wu!"
Seeing Wu Xiaozu enter the door, the four of them quickly stood up to say hello. Among them, Qiu Litao looked ashamed and dejected.
It’s true that Chen Jiaxian is a newcomer, but he is not?!
Many disciples trained by Wu Xiaozu have now become director positions. Whether they are fat, stupid, or long-legged kings, their grades are amazing.
On the contrary, he...
In other words, he is the largest disciple of the Wu family.
Although the box office of "The Legend of the Beautiful Girls" was unsatisfactory, the return rate was not low. The main reason was that the cost of the drama was too low, and I made a lot of money by taking advantage of Mai Dangxiong's east wind.
But... this "Little Man's Weekly Diary" really makes him look embarrassed.
He, Wu, had a long hair, fell to him inexplicably... He was so embarrassed.
Sha Qiang even called to comfort him: He was old and his butt was loose, and he was not doing anything. There was snow in the anus and there was no wet at all.
"It's a bad look?" Wu Xiaozu patted Qiu Litao's shoulder and joked in a relaxed tone, "It's just a box office failure, it's not a cuckold. Don't be so naughty..."
"Brother Zu...I..." Qiu Litao wanted to speak but stopped, with a look of ashamed.
"Okay, what a big deal. How can you win movies? Besides, this drama is not a loss now." Wu Xiaozu always smiled, patted Chen Jiayan on the shoulder, and gave encouragement, and finally his eyes fixed on the face of the last young man...
"Brother Zu, this is Chaozi - Lin Chaoxian." Qiu Litao took the initiative to recommend it and touched the nervous Lin Chaoxian. "Brother Zuxian, why don't you say hello to Zhuxian."
"Brother Zu!" Lin Chaoxian quickly lowered his head and said hello, unable to hide the excitement on his face.
Wu Xiaozu!
The four major directors in Hong Kong Island, Director Wu has endless magic power!
Wu Xiaozu has become the "god" in the hearts of many young people from Hong Kong.
A Palme d'Or has a huge impact!
The problem is that he not only has honors, but also has the most outstanding box office!
"Two Heroes" is standing above all the filmmakers!
"Super boy... have you been in contact with the computer industry before?" Wu Xiaozu glanced at the other party's bald head. This head was hard to be so bald without ten years of experience in his career!
“???”
Lin Chaoxian was confused and confused.
I thought about it again, maybe... this is the speech style of a great director???
Thinking about it again, he seemed to have heard that Hollywood has tried to combine computers with film production. Could it be that Director Wu told himself to keep learning? Constantly getting in touch with new things?

This time, it's completely down to the bottom!
It is estimated that the box office will be cut by the theater with a maximum of 3 million yuan.
“Actually…”
Yu Weiguo glanced at Wu Xiaozu and whispered: "The main reason that affected the box office was actually not the above two movies, but... Western films and... Salt-wet films!
In the western film, Jiahe introduced the movie "Flying to the Future", Princess Jin introduced the anime movie "Guali of the Wind" by Hayao Miyazaki and the "Vehicle" starring Arnold Shuhua Xinlijia..."
Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Cantonese translator, is Arnold Schwarzenegger! The governor has already begun to make his mark at this time. "Terminator" made him famous, and at the same time, the "Devil Series" science fiction films and "Ultimate Warrior" further consolidated his position as an action star.
At this time, it was indeed an era when the action superstars in the East and West began to explode! Unlike later generations, it is difficult for action movies to produce superstars... Although Dwayne Johnson entered the front line, his box office appeal and influence were not on the same level as his predecessors, let alone Guo Dastanson in the B-level film...
Wu Xiaozu frowned.
Damn... Before I started, these shameless guys began to introduce Western movies one by one.
I have to say that no one is a fool!
In the face of interests, these businessmen really have no bottom line! What about the promised creation of a big era of Hong Kong films?
Wu Xiaozu thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that he, the second-five, had to work harder!
How can you overdraw your potential?
The trailer has been opened! It seems that I can only make money in the stock market... Oh, I am still too kind...
"Excluding western tablets, the biggest impact is actually salty and wet tablets!"
Yu Weiguo said helplessly, "The male audience was attracted to the theater by various salty and wet films. Although they were still shoddy, they were all more attractive than the other ones! What do you think... "Spring·Love·Fire·Luxury", "The Record of the Strong Annihilation of the Subway", "The Perverted Demons Episode One by One", "Secret Study of the Hand of Xianshi", "The Secret of the Lustful Demon Yang Guifei", "Seven Lustful Desires Yang Guifei", "Seven Lustful Desires Yang Guifei", "Seven Lustful Desires Seven Lustful Desires Seven Fairies", "Secret Dream of Red Mansions", "Secretary of the Xianshi Boss", "Secretary of the Xianshi Boss", "The Fire of Desires Overflowing the Little Maid", "The Coach of the Lustful Two Sisters", "Secretly Sexual Prostitutes and Prostitutes"..."
Wu Xiaozu didn't know how many of the Yu Weiguo's dreams would become ***. As for the attractiveness... Look at Qiu Litao, Chen Jiaxian, and Lin Chaoxian, and you will know the effect if you speed up your breathing!
These salty and wet films are really simple and crude. A movie that can be finished by one or two people... Otherwise, Fei Cheng's "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty: Yantan's Love: The Love of the Cuckold King's House" is a work of art?
Behind these movies are all young and dandy in small clubs. They really start filming today, editing tomorrow, and being released the day after tomorrow... It is even more efficient than stabbing the director of the Big Iron Stick Hospital!
"The box office of these movies is not high, and at most it only costs millions, no more than 2 million! But the amount is really too large..."
Yu Weiguo said this with helplessness, "It is impossible to investigate even if he does an investigation. The theaters are full of fishy smell... In the entire ticket market, many theaters have all released these movies after midnight. In just over a dozen days, more than 35 salty and wet films have been released..."
“…(ΩДΩ)…”
Director Wu is like a thorn in his throat, and he has a kind of rush to shoot himself in the foot.
He guided the revival of salty and wet films, but he didn't expect that the salty and wet market would be so vigorous... Especially in the off-season of the movie, when the audience targeted the male "man-prone" group, these salty and wet films were really too powerful.
The rate of film change is also very high, and one will be re-shot as soon as a few days.
After the midnight show, it turned into a world of salty and wet pieces!
Although the types of movies are different, the overall total of the ticket market will not fluctuate too much without the stimulation of popular movies. The pockets of these men are all exhausted by salty and wet films, so naturally the number of people invested in other movies will be relatively reduced.
Especially this is the off-season, which is based on these middle-aged and young men... Now it's better. Hong Kong men are already under great pressure and have no resistance to salty and wetness.
This is because Lin Qingxia, Honggu, Zhou Huimin, Qiu Shuzhen and others raised the box office, otherwise it would be a terrible sight!!
In contrast, "Shuangfei Linmen", which sets the movie to the family type, has been the least affected. The audience is not limited to white-collar workers and middle-aged male audiences, but more of the whole family is on Saturdays and Sundays.
This is also one of the reasons why actresses in the 1980s didn’t sell money. It’s really because they have too little box office support.
Of course, I have never seen many actresses who can really resist box office performances in later generations.
Compared with the four new Chinese models in the mainland: hair model Xu Dantu, Qingdao lady Huang Wuwang, military art school grass Wang Duoyu, steel straight man Wulangwang, steel straight man Wulangwang, etc., there is really no comparison.
These four people should be considered the four major traffic volumes that are the Chinese zodiacs in the mainland film market.
This time point can be truly called the four major box office traffic, "Brother Fa", "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 wet slices..." Wu Xiaozu chewed a few words and stared at Qiu Litao, "Changmao, come back and contact Brother Zhen to see if the French Woodpecker Company has been straightened out. At the same time, with Jiang Ershao, let him arrange for the Woodpecker Company to start shooting the movie as soon as possible!"
The salty and wet slices are flooded, and Wu Xiaozu never thought of acting as the Holy Mother.
All he had to do was to grab a piece of fat on this wave of quick money, and at the same time establish the special effect of his own "Woodpecker".
"Okay, Brother Zu." Qiu Litao nodded, and then stopped saying, "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 Room"!" After saying that, he looked at Wu Xiaozu with hope.
No one in the "Fear Room" series is more suitable than Qiu Litao. Originally, Wu Xiaozu wanted to make his eldest apprentice the director of this series, and the other party was very happy and had already started to prepare-
but……
Maybe the other brothers under him were too talented... instead, he was hesitant and finally let go halfway.
It's not his fault.
The younger brothers, even the big-breasted brothers, in the history of Fengyue Film, the movie "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty: Yantan's Love: Cuckold King's House" is enough to be among the top ten Chinese history. This movie has already made him one of the new generation of directors of Fengyue Film!
Although this drama has Wu Xiaozu's camera style and Li Hanxiang's artistic style, no one can deny the contribution of Big Boobs!
What's more, the other party in "Young and Dangerous 1" is also a director. Although everyone knows that it is a work produced by Wu Xiaozu, it can basically be regarded as a movie by Wu Xiaozu, but who knows these things a few decades later?
This also makes Qiu Litao always feel a little unconfident and keeps trying to help others.
To be continued...
