Chapter 1440 There Is No Worst, only Worse

The so-called change, some people benefit greatly, and naturally some people suffer losses. The record market has been severely impacted, of course, not only in Japan, Europe and the United States, but also in Hong Kong and Hong Kong.

Very strangely, there is no shortage of pirated DVDs on the market in Hong Kong. This is not just about DVDs, CDs are also included. Since 1998, this market has begun to plummet. No one watched the movies, and no one bought the new records. Instead, there were various DIY collections.

"Acheng, get ready. I'm going to Lanai Island next month. You go with me."

"Okay, boss, do you have a chance to meet Brother William this time?" The eldest brother Cheng was a little excited. It is true that he is famous now, but when it comes to William White, he is still not enough.

"It's hard to say this time. I made an appointment, but looking at the current situation, we won't have much time to communicate.

Alas, it’s not that we don’t work hard, this market is really disappointing. "

"Boss, it's a vicious cycle now. I bought a copy of the movie that was just released two days ago. If this continues, who else will be willing to take filming seriously?

If possible, let’s see how the international market is. As long as I can get an excellent script, I’m still confident. "

The box office has shrunk, and Big Brother Cheng's salary will naturally not increase. Nowadays, it’s very difficult to get a box office of over 10 million yuan. You don’t even know if you can afford this kind of money. Faced with this situation, where should we go to deceive investors?

In other words, Zhou Xingxing's movies still have some investment value, but other things, I really don't know what to say.

But, how can one Zhou Xingxing support the entire Hong Kong movie?

If you spend three to five million to make an action movie, the result will be shoddy. But if it exceeds 10 million, you may be thrown into the streets until you die. In the current situation, those who are still willing to continue in this industry can only do it for love.

The most common saying now is that Xiangjiang movies are too eager for quick success and quick success, and the good-looking Asian Hollywood has been turned into a mess by these guys. Zou Daheng disagreed with this statement.

Hong Kong people may not be able to use special effects in Hollywood movies. For Jiahe, they have very complete channels. But, it’s easy for me to take pictures, and there won’t be any problem with investing. But the market is so down, how do you let investors deal with it?

Investing is about making money, and there is nothing wrong with that.

What's wrong with making a bad movie? Did the director want to make it this way?

Don't say anything else, just go and see Fatty Wang. When this guy serves as a producer, the quality is still very guaranteed. But when you come here to be a director or producer, it's strange that you can see the good.

Don’t you know how to take pictures?

No, it’s hard for a good woman to make a meal without rice. The filming fee is only one or two million, and you actually ask me for a big production?

This is a vicious cycle. If the film is really good, the audience may not be willing to part with a small amount of money. Although the economy is not good, watching movies is still a relatively cheap entertainment expense.

But after spending dozens of dollars, it was so disgusting.

Okay, then, do you expect them to re-enter theaters?

Buy a few reprints and it will be worth it to you. Don’t forget, if you buy your garbage for more than ten or twenty, it’s the same price for Titanic and Jurassic Park. I’m not afraid to tell you that you won’t be able to sell copies.

Zou Daheng had a headache, but little did he know that William White also had a headache. Due to the general environment, there was nothing he could do. You think now is the worst time, and I'm not afraid to tell you where we are now. After 2004, there won't be a few film companies left in Hong Kong.

Of course there is a way to die in Hong Kong movies. Xiangjiang and Rabbit Country may have problems of one kind or another, but the surrounding Japanese and Smectas don't have anything to worry about.

The idea of ​​​​Hong Kong filmmakers has always been to recoup the cost locally and sell to surrounding areas to make a net profit. You can’t say that this kind of thinking is wrong. Hollywood is actually similar.

But, you only have a few million people, and with the popularity of special effects movies. The cost of film production has naturally skyrocketed. Either you have a good story and can be made into a feature film. Or you just keep up with the times and make the special effects better. Otherwise, I'm afraid there is no choice.

The audience has seen Jurassic and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and those gunfights of yours are just too fake. In such an environment, of course there is no way out.

It can be said that the reason why Xiangjiang's movies failed is actually because of capital operation. If you don’t have the capital to operate in Hollywood, how can you compete with them?

Of course, William White does not want Xiangjiang to be completely wiped out. He knows very well that for a long time to come, Hollywood will need to please Asian audiences, and among them, the ones that need to be especially pleased are the audiences in Big Rabbit Country.

The movie's box office slump is only temporary, and Titanic has reached an extreme. But as 3D and special effects technology advances with the times, data that seems unattainable now may not be so in the future.

William Wright has decided to start a comic book movie, and it is crucial to add more Asian faces. And these additions can't just be some soy sauce or vases. It's not appropriate for you to take the protagonist. Numbers two and three are still necessary.

Of course, there are some risks to this endeavor. After all, there are really few Asian faces in the original comics. Not only are there a huge shortage of Asians, but black guys are also basically invisible.

He agreed to meet with Zou Daheng, so naturally it was impossible to talk in general terms. What is William White's identity now? If there is something very important, he needs to come forward.

X-Men, Spider-Man, Transformers, Iron Man, these projects that are about to be launched will all require the inclusion of Chinese characters. William White even considered whether Pepper Potts could also be replaced by Chinese.

Of course, due to Stan Lee's strong opposition, this proposal came to nothing. However, when some new characters were added appropriately, the old guy didn't say anything.

The market is like this. The Asian market is becoming more and more important now. If you don't make adjustments at this time, do you have to wait until the market hits the market?

It cannot be said that there is no problem. There is no problem with the acting skills of these actors in Xiangjiang. However, they have proven themselves in this industry. If they suddenly need to be supporting roles, is this gap acceptable?

What? Why isn't Mao the protagonist?

Boss, do you plan to let Big Brother Cheng play Iron Man, or do you plan to let Shen Xianfa play Little Spider. Rest assured, no matter what the final choice is, the audience in Big Rabbit Country will not buy it.

I have to say, now is a very good time. The movies in Xiangjiang are going down step by step every year. Except for Zhou Xingxing who can make some money, the rest are really meaningless.
