Chapter 517: Box office failure, B-level movie (6000 chapters)(2/2)
This has lost its sharpness!
In the Wu family, progress is the first priority! If you lose your sharpness, you will find it difficult to achieve success!
Wu Xiaozu didn't expect that this setback would inspire Qiu Litao's fighting spirit... He is worthy of being the famous "B-level movie godfather" in Hong Kong Island in later generations!
If you study Hong Kong films, after the 1990s, you can't skip this B-level director king! Because he is too productive! And every drama can make investors profit a little, which is terrifying!
Although his movies are limited to ghost movies and llll-level movies, he can actually become the favorite director of the film company, especially Wu Xiaozu, who has a videotape company, who is definitely a videotape master.
The status is equivalent to that of China Literature...(⊙o⊙)...the mobile client boss...
Besides, in addition to making money, cult movies can actually refresh their style.
It’s just that Hong Kong Island’s limitations restrict Qiu Litao.
Of course, with my famous teacher, I can’t let my loyal apprentice become a top Chinese director!
Not to mention the past, just look at the present, Director Wu’s four major guardians in Huangpu are fully equipped:
The commercial box office tool of the comic adaptation plan - Liu Weiliang!
Use your style to refresh your life, use money to dig out a huge literary and artistic pit - Wang loses money!
Master Fengyue, who supports the peak of Chinese Fengyue with his own strength - Li Licheng!
The king of Cult films who forged sharp blades with high yields and lay the foundation with diligence - Qiu Litao!
"Okay, I will personally serve as the producer of your new drama." Wu Xiaozu, the clan of Wanshi, nodded slightly, "Let's go back and hand over the shooting plan to the production department, let's discuss the script together."
"Thank you, Brother Zu!" Qiu Litao concealed his emotion and nodded fiercely.
"Don't be disappointed if you have the idea of shooting. Leave it to the production department. As long as the plan is feasible, I will not be stingy!"
Wu Xiaozu also comforted Chen Jiaxian and Lin Chaoxian for a moment, and the two of them were very grateful.
——
"Waterloo~"
Zou Dingou smiled and pushed the newspaper onto the table, his tone could not hide his gloating, and said, "We, the Cannes director, also missed the box office. It is said that this drama spent no less than 1.5 million on promotion alone! Even Lin Qingxia, Hong Gu and others were all friendly prices, and the cost would not be less than 2 million, only more, not less!
The most conservative estimate of the chaos in the later period is about 3.8 million yuan, and the box office is only 5 million yuan now, so it is an indisputable fact that you lose money.
This director Wu probably feels very uncomfortable now...hehehe..."
"Young boy, you will always suffer a loss if you underestimate the enemy too much."
He Guanchang smiled and said, "But this drama is a new director, it's understandable. If every drama in 1024 is sold well, it would be a miracle. This will make me feel much more at ease."
"Brother Chang, what is my eldest brother's attitude?" Zou Dingou asked with a smile.
"Your eldest brother?"
He Guanchang pushed his glasses, looked around and laughed in a low voice, "He went to Holi Life to talk about the movies that are being hit in North America... We, Jiahe, have been in contact with Holi Life since the 1970s, and it is not a waste of time... If Shaw Brothers could compare back then, now, no one in Hong Kong can know Holi Life better."
"Introduced Western films?" Zou Dingou's eyes were fixed and nodded thoughtfully.
Who doesn’t know that Director Wu Da will release a new drama during the summer season? It seems that his elder brother is happy on the surface, but he should have a lot of trouble.
Wu Xiaozu is in the limelight, but no one will be willing to present the summer vacation with both hands!
It can be said that at this time, the summer season is the most important battlefield for firefighting throughout the year, no doubt about it!
...
Fuyi Film Company.
“Azu also got confused…”
Cai Zhiming was wearing a suit, with his legs on the desk, and leisurely threw the newspaper aside.
"1024 encounters Waterloo, is it inevitable after the peak?" - "Sing Tao Daily".
"There is no way to invest in movies 100%, and this drama has also been affected. I watched "The Little Man's Weekly Diary", and this Chen Jiayan is quite talented! I can only say that he is not lucky."
With a rosacea and a short and fat man, Wen Jun raised his voice: "I suggest we can talk to such a talented director to see if it can be used for us."
"You can give it a try. Azu will not attack us because of a money-losing guy. However, our top priority is Wang Jiawei's new drama "The Legend of A Fei."
Cai Zhiming said this with a solemn expression, "This drama is an opportunity that I finally talked about. The whole drama was filmed together, and there was another investment of Thirteen, including the investment of Shadow Master Deng Guangrong, and even the investment of Tongchen Film Company. We must keep an eye on it, this is the rooster who can lay golden eggs!"
"I will pay attention." Wenjun listened to the other party's confident words, and some words were not easy to say.
He always felt that Wang Jiawei had a completely 'author director' temperament.
The common feature of these directors' movies is that they are difficult to sell at high box offices. Especially when this drama is invested tens of millions of dollars...
However, Wang Jiawei is known as the "next Wu Xiaozu", and is now very popular, and it is an opportunity his boss has obtained with his company, so he naturally needs to pay attention to it.
"These few salty and wet films are a little profitable, so I can support these films more." Cai Zhiming thought for a while and said, "The summer season of Hong Kong movies is very important. See if there are any suitable candidates to make a movie."
The meaning in the words is self-evident.
The summer season is not only the battlefield where box office competition is the most fierce, but also the time when small companies take the opportunity to cheat money.
"Azu made a trailer. You can study it and get some investment!"
The trailer is the best tool for these companies with the shadow of the community to make money.
"Okay, but if you want to sell it, you still have to have a celebrity as a guarantee." Wen Jun said.
His later generations seemed to reveal the situation of the club's entry, but in fact he was accomplice many times. During this period, no one would say that anyone was clean, and the world was as dark as a crow!
...
“Play golf?”
Wu Xiaozu's expression was strange when he received a call from He Chaoqiong.
Miss Gao... Bah! Miss Guan was taken advantage of by herself last time and went out for vacation. I don’t mention Guan Erfu... Bah! I can’t remember Guan Erfu if I don’t improve my lf ball.
"Yes, there's a gift for you." He Chaoqiong on the other side of the phone was in a good mood, "It can be regarded as comforting you to fail at the box office."
Director Wu's face turned black.
My company hasn't lost much money yet, bad things have spread thousands of miles!
There is no way, the previous 1024 locomotive was really like a tiger, and every movie made a big profit. This time, it suddenly encountered a bumpy situation, and it naturally became news as soon as possible.
"Okay, see you later." Wu Xiaozu shook his head, not caring too much about He Chaoqiong's teasing.
On the contrary, it was a bit surprised that He Chaoqiong suddenly found himself playing basketball.
Think about it, maybe the other party is also worried about "Gambling God"?
There is no way, this is a little negative impact of "The Little Man's Weekly Diary".
Fortunately, the Locomotive 1024 is not a listed company at this time, otherwise the stock price might have been somewhat affected.
Just like the previous Dr.'s drama was removed, the stock prices of the production company plummeted...
In fact, Wu Xiaozu himself didn't care much about this matter.
Even if he has unique vision, the success of a movie is affected by many things and cannot control it. His only advantage is to ensure the quality of the movie itself...but he cannot control the market conditions!
"The Little Man's Weekly Diary" failed at the box office, otherwise it may not be a bad thing!
Chapter completed!
