Chapter 1068 Bounced ticket withdrawal?

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
San Lodo, ​​Burbank, Miramax Corporation.

Harvey Weinstein looks very much like a hairtail that has been dead for three months, paralyzed on the large boss chair, sweating profusely, panting heavily, and his whole face shows a sense of fatigue after breaking corn.

"John is a genius."

He waved his arms, excited through fatigue, glanced at the female secretary, and tilted his mouth proudly, "I believe you should understand this feeling of heaven."

The blond female secretary calmly picked up the T-string pants that had just been taken off for 4 minutes and 18 seconds, and put them on again, which didn't even affect her sitting down and drinking the coffee on the table—oh, it was still hot .

"Of course, Mr. Weinstein." The female secretary said professionally.

Harvey picked up the "Los Angeles Times" on the table, with a wild smile on his fat face, "At the Las Vegas Film Critics Association Awards, "Seven Sins" won the Best Foreign Language Film and Best Screenplay as it wished. Check out this one, Boston Film Critics Circle Award for Best Foreign Language Film!

John will definitely bring a different impact to Hollywood.Through him, I can continuously absorb more Asian talents... Lucia, do you know what this means? "

"Sir, you are rich."

"That's right!!! I'm so rich!"

Harvey cursed vulgarly, blushed, glanced at the female secretary, and smiled crookedly, "Sweetheart, have you rested enough? Do you want to have another shot?"

"Oh, boss, I really can't take it anymore..." the female secretary flattered with a smirk.

It's just a meal, it's not shabby.

"Hahaha... Go sell a dress, and accompany me to the Oscar nomination dinner in a few days, I believe we will gain something!"

……

At the Butterfly Bay Ferry Pier in Tuen Mun, New Territories, Hong Kong Island, there are waves on the ferry, and many passenger ships are moored at the extended and protruding pier.

Not far from the pier is a half-mountain bay, which is often visited by fishermen.

Big D...uh, Zhou Chaoxian...Ren Yinjiu...cough cough...Liang Jiahui is wearing a black and red motorcycle helmet and sitting on a horse on the bank of the grove, holding a fishing rod in his hand, squinting his eyes, vigilantly He looked at Master Wu who was practicing his club swing beside him.

The paint surface of the helmet is full of scratches and potholes.

If he and Wu Xiaozu didn't wear helmets when they went fishing, they probably would have been bruised by the hook before being hit by a stone.

Rumors in the rivers and lakes: When fishing with Wu Xiaozu, you must wear a helmet to be honest and not deceive him.

Snapped!
Feeling that the helmet was knocked by a sharp weapon, Liang Jiahui expressed that he was embarrassed but he was used to it. . . . .

"I don't think the sport of fishing is for you."

Jiang Ershao, who was asking Brother Zhi to help apply the disinfectant, came with a resentful voice: "Azu, stop. There are fishhooks all around..."

Fat Cheng, who hid behind the tree, bared his teeth and let Gu Tianle help him pick up the fishhook stuck in his chest. Hearing what Jiang Ershao said, he turned his head and looked at his big brother who was swinging the fishing rod with tears in his eyes.

The fishhooks flying all over the sky are like darts, whizzing... It's terrifying.

swoosh~
Fat Cheng shrank his neck in fright, stared directly at a string of fishhooks on the tree trunk with cross-eyed eyes, feeling lingering fear...

Five-star killer Wu Xiaozu stared at the fishing rod in his hand, shook his head, it was somewhat difficult to swing the fishing rod - of course, it can be overcome.

"Fishing actually cultivates sentiment." Wu Xiaozu said: "But it's just the seasoning of life."

"Yes."

"Yeah yeah."

Everyone echoed, and they all let out a long sigh of relief as they watched the other party shake their heads and put down their fishing rods.

"The company's first promotion during the Christmas season is "Flash Girl". I saw that the promotion of this drama was done well."

Wu Xiaozu casually sat on the plastic box, took out a portable bag, took out a few cigars and distributed them to everyone, everyone saw him put down his fishing rod, and they all joined together.

"When this drama was announced, the branches all over the world cooperated. I didn't expect the girl Twice to be so popular. It was even more popular than Zhou Xingxing and Li Lianjie. The planning department planned a lot of activities, and their fans all enthusiastically signed up.

Through data collection within the company, it is analyzed that the local box office of this drama on Hong Kong Island will not be less than 2000 million.There will also be outbreaks at the box office in other places. "Jiang Zhiqiang loosened the gauze on the head and took the cigar.

"No one thought that these idol stars would have such a big box office appeal before." Fei Cheng said with a smile: "It seems that this is the fan movie proposed by the boss, fan economy. I think I can take the opportunity to make a batch of such movies." movie of."

"This aspect can be considered." Jiang Zhiqiang nodded.

Fan movies are not necessarily bad movies, it mainly depends on who your target group is.

Of course, you can't stand and stand at the same time.

"Instead, it's "Seven Sins"..." Jiang Zhiqiang mused.

Everyone has watched this award-winning work, and the quality is definitely not good. It can be said that it is the most "Wu style" movie among recent movies.

A strong sense of fate, the dialectic between blood and logic, the test of human nature, the mystery of religion...

But this drama is too dark.

"Worried about me?" Wu Xiaozu smiled with a cigar in his mouth.

"Of course there is no problem with your basic disk, but... this movie is too depressing. It hits many sensitive areas of human nature, and I think some audiences will not like it." Jiang Zhiqiang said truthfully: "Although we have three movies this summer The direct explosion of files has driven the entire market to increase by leaps and bounds, causing the media and the industry to shout the slogan "the golden age of Hong Kong movies" has come.

But in fact, it's not that Hong Kong movies as a whole are growing, it's just that we are growing.

Liu Weijun, Qiu Litao, and Liu Zhenwei are all very good, and their box office results are also very high.

But everyone knows that you are the company's magic needle.

The works of these young directors have exploded before. If your box office is not satisfactory... I am afraid that someone with a heart will find a point of attack. "

"Someone can't attack a Cannes award-winning work?"

Liang Jiahui smiled in disbelief and said: "To be honest, I now regret that I didn't strongly request to play "Seven Sins". I watched this movie 4 times in the company's film room yesterday. I love this movie so much. film.

There is no redundant shot, each shot has its due foreshadowing and content.This made me find the feeling I had when I watched "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "The Godfather"... The structure and the camera are all great. "

Wu Xiaozu smiled without saying a word, his eyes were indifferent.

"I'm just as worried as Sir Jiang."

The big breasted brother answered, "Of course this movie is a good one, but the Christmas file is more suitable for family reunion or romantic movies. I can understand his pressure, it's the feeling of the myth being shattered...

Some audiences don't care how deep the movie is, how ritualistic the filming is, and how sharp the filming is.They more need movies to give them a life adjustment.

A movie like "Seven Sins" is suitable for a person to buy a videotape and watch it by himself at home.It's really not suitable for the atmosphere of Christmas..."

Gu Zai flipped through the meat skewers on the oven, he didn't understand what the big guys said
"How about changing the schedule?"

After Jiang Zhiqiang finished speaking, he looked at Wu Xiaozu's expression. The latter was neither sad nor happy, and his expression was calm.

He actually understood Jiang Zhiqiang's worries.

At such a critical moment, the shattering of the myth has a great blow to the company's listing.

"What about Xuanfa?"

Fei Cheng frowned and asked back: "We have already invested several million in publicity fees, and at this time the tickets are skipped..."

In the market, there are not no examples of good movies hitting the box office.

In the Hong Kong Island market, the mediocre performance of profound films over the years is evidence. A literary film like "A City of Sadness" that has been sold well in the Bay Area has failed in Hong Kong Island is not an exception.

For so many years, Wu Xiaozu has been a real leader in both business and art, but in 1987, "The Suspect" won the award, and was blessed by Zhang Guoyi and Anita Mui, and launched the most powerful movie. At that time, the box office was also But 3200 million, which is more than 2800 million more than the 300 million of "Fear Room", which costs less than one-fifth of it.

In the same year, another film "Two Heroes" had a box office of 4035 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Try the reaction of the outside world first. Anyway, everyone is very optimistic about "Flash Girl" during Christmas." Wu Xiaozu thought about it rationally, and agreed with their concerns.

No one has trouble with money.

Especially now that they are short of money.

Wu Xiaozu was not so determined to fight head-to-head with the market trend.

In many cases, the success of a movie depends on the right time, place and people.

Of course, he is also going to make a decision after seeing the reaction of the Japanese box office.
