Chapter 136 Market Backlash (3/4)

Long Wu's wife looked at her husband, knew it in her heart, and sighed...

In Yongsheng back then, the Chinese star was the leader!

In 1992, it became a listed company. Because it produced a series of big-selling movies, its stock price soared and even broke through HK$200 at one point. At that time, China Star was incredible and its market value exceeded 10 billion!

However, as the Hong Kong film market gradually collapsed, China Star's stock price plummeted. At its worst, a stock was worth more than 1 cents, with a market value of less than 20 million...

Nowadays, because of diversified operations, the market value is close to HK$3 billion...

It's not the same magnitude as the orange image...

Rules in the Hong Kong film industry: either my friend or my enemy!

Because the place itself is not big, but the entertainment industry is developed, and everyone looks up and sees each other. A few people hold hands and just put a wall, and if they are not assimilated, they will be eaten.

The law of survival is to either be low-key and tolerant or be able to do everything.

Another exception is that you are strong enough to a certain extent and be able to fight against the entire system.

Like Zhou Xingxing, the last one...

So, he is an alien!

Lu Xiaoran used to film "Treasure Hunt Alliance" and needed to go to Macau to film. He found Xiang Zuo to play a role, and originally wanted to use the power of the Xiang family. Later, the casino dreamfcity took the initiative to propose that he would film Lu Xiaoran...

So, there is no friendship...

I haven't even seen each other!

Long Wu's wife called Cheng Lan, brought her husband a cup of tea, and then said, "Are you looking at his itinerary?"

“…I’m reading the newspaper!”

"Why did he come to Hong Kong to make movies?"

"How could I know?"

"I read the report and he said he wanted to make a movie with a pure Hong Kong flavor!"

"A mainlander is looking for death when he makes a Hong Kong movie!"

"…Yes, since you know he is seeking death, don't worry about him!"

To be honest, although Brother Long Wu started his career as a violent person, he rarely stolen scandals with female celebrities. His original words are: "It is not difficult for the company boss to not stolen scandals with female celebrities, as long as you persist!"

I always feel that it is because the newspaper is concerned about his identity...

Unlike our classmate Lu Yu, that guy was brave and asked directly, "Do you guys have a black ejaculation class?"

"Lu Yu has about 2012"...

What a pity, there is no ‘Haha, I don’t believe it’…

As for Long Wu finding someone to make his crew unable to film the movie...

Thinking too much, you can try to do it today, and you will have a round of gangsters tomorrow?

Lu Yiqianyi is not a dry meal!

...

The opening ceremony was grand, and a lot of media came. After all, this is a large-scale commercial film with an investment of more than HK$280 million.

As the director, Lu Xiaoran, holding three yellow sandalwoods, led the crew members to worship the gods.

Yang Shoucheng, Zhou Runfa, Liang Jiahui, and Zhang Ziyi stood in the second row...

After worshiping God, Lu Xiaoran accepted an interview with the live media:

"The script of "Wushuang" is about counterfeit money cases. The story took place in the 1990s. Most of the information was originally classified. Because it has experienced many generations of US dollar anti-counterfeiting technology improvements, it is impossible for people to use the previous methods to make counterfeit US dollars, so the Interpol put the information on those cases online."

"At that time, about 0.05% of the US dollars flowing around the world were counterfeit banknotes, which sounded like a very small number, but the actual number of counterfeit banknotes was large at that time, the US dollars flowing on the market every day was about 40 trillion US dollars. Then imagine that 0.05 of the more than 40 trillion US dollars, even if it is 0.005, such a small number is already an amazing number.

"I remember that among all kinds of real cases, one of them was that the criminal who printed counterfeit money did not stop printing counterfeit money during the runaway stage. He was still printing when he was arrested. When he was caught, the counterfeit money he had just printed had 2 trillion yuan. This is the state of the counterfeit moneymaker at that time, which is a macro perspective. If you want to look at it microscopicly, it depends on how they operated it."

"Most of the counterfeit banknote cases that can be found online have occurred in the United States, and some of the counterfeit banknotes are "new immigrants" from the United States. Through research, we found that the reason why these people choose to make counterfeit banknotes is not much related to their background, but rather a "pursuing of art". Because most people who make counterfeit banknotes are actually doing artistic work, we see their glorious side and their dilapidated side. These are all dramatic contradictions that attract me."

"With drama conflicts, the script will be easy to write..."

"Why do you need to shoot in Hong Kong?"

"Of course I want to put the story of the 1990s in Hong Kong..."

"How did you invite Brother Fa?"

"I just sent him the script, and then he agreed... I am a fan of Fa Ge. This "Wu Shuang" is a gift from fans to their idols!"

"box office?"

"I never consider box office when I shoot movies. As long as I shoot them, I will definitely make a big shot!"

Good...receive!

Pretending to be over…

...

The opening ceremony of "Wushuang" was actually on June 30th. On the same day, a new movie "So... Married to Black Fans" was released, with a box office of 23 million on the first day...

This movie is really a pure fandom, and it is a kind of idol selling in SM.'s "Flower Beauty Chain Horror Incident"!

Only idol fans pay for this kind of movie...

Fortunately, China-South Korea relations have become tense, otherwise, you can see the movies of exo on the big screen in China, carrying a stick, and BTS taking turns to star in it, and then harvesting the box office of fans...

This is the problem!

The film industry is developing too fast, the market is getting bigger and bigger, more and more people are entering the industry, and more opportunities for filmmakers are also increasing. In such an environment, everyone seems to be in a hurry. Actors are in a hurry to be directors, directors are in a hurry to become famous, investors are in a hurry to buy IPs, and creators are in a hurry to make quick money...

No one wants to do this solid content!

The problem is that the audience has IQ…

Then the next day, on July 1, "The Bounty Thunder Man" was released: Li Minghao + Zhong Xiaowa + Yang Tianbao...

(Tianbao replaced Tangtang)…

The first day of the film was scheduled 33%, with an average of only 17 viewers per movie...

The screening hall has only 8% of the filming scenes, with an average of 26 viewers per show...

What's the reason?

The market has backfired!

The shelf life of traffic is too short, it is really only one to two years...

What's more important is that traffic stars will backfire...

Especially the series of Orange’s movies have boosted the reputation of domestic movies, and also let the audience know what a good work is!

At least half a year in advance, the audience began to hate the so-called traffic stars, and even more hated movies that focused on traffic...

"Bounty Thunderbolt" has only 33 million box office on the first day...

This is a commercial production with an investment of nearly 150 million yuan...

"So... Married to Black Fans" is even worse. 18% of the film schedule, the average number of viewers is less than 6, and the box office in a single day is 11 million...
