Chapter 346 All Fell

"The Queen of Love" was unstoppable, with its box office even higher than the second to tenth place combined, making other movies lose their competitiveness.

It dominated the market, and all other movies released at the same time - all flopped!

The reason why other movies failed so miserably, in addition to Hu Xiaoxiao's box office influence and the high quality of the movies, there is another very important reason.

The film industry has always had a habit of releasing a hit theme, and immediately a large number of people will follow suit, all hoping to make a quick buck. However, they didn't expect that this approach would directly lead to the immediate death of a good theme, and in the end no one could make any money.

When the audience sees all the movies with similar themes and compares them to Hu Xiaoxiao's novel and high-quality movies, anyone with a little common sense knows how to choose. The audience has long been fed up with all the similar routines.

When major film companies saw the box office results of their own films, their faces turned green.

Some even started thinking about following the trend of the "Bawanghua" theme. However, the film industry has searched all over the place and no one else can play the "Bawanghua" theme except Hu Xiaoxiao. Other actresses are neither as good as Hu Xiaoxiao in fighting nor as pretty as her. If they try to play the role reluctantly, they will end up imitating others, and the box office will teach them a lesson again.

"Shengshi Entertainment, it seems we underestimated them before." Fang Jing, the boss of Hongguang Film Company, was so heartbroken when he saw that his carefully produced movie flopped so miserably that he couldn't even eat.

"There's nothing we can do. Shengshi Entertainment's subject matter is good, and Hu Xiaoxiao is the lead actor. Although our film is well-made, the subject matter has been popular for several years, and the audience is aesthetically fatigued." The producer said with a wry smile.

Fang Jing was suddenly furious and kicked the producer to the ground. "Why did you keep filming when you knew the audience was tired of it? You didn't tell me beforehand, and now you're telling me it's a flop after the release? Are you kidding me? Shengshi Entertainment is going to do new themes, why aren't you doing that?"

The producer didn't dare to talk back and could only get up while enduring the pain, not daring to say a word. It was obvious that Fang Jing wanted to make this film to promote his little lover.

Create new themes?

It's easy to say, but who doesn't want to make something new? Who doesn't want to be the only one? And yet, everyone knows how easily new themes flop. Hundreds of films are released every year, with tons of new themes, and what happens? They flop so badly that even their mothers wouldn't recognize them.

Even superstars with box office appeal are very cautious about new themes, and few dare to touch them.

But the producer had to swallow these words. Fang Jing wanted to vent his anger, not listen to explanations. Didn't Fang Jing know all this? But after losing a lot of money, he was furious. As a younger brother, it was only right to give the boss a few kicks.

Some are happy while others are sad. There are many film companies that are as annoyed as the boss of Hongguang, especially Qilin Film Company. The boss directly called the general manager of Shanhai Cinema Line and gave him a scolding.

"You grew up eating shit, or is your brain filled with shit? Your own theater doesn't schedule its own movie, but schedules Shengshi's? Is Shengshi your father or your mother?"

"Movie theaters are not opened in prosperous times!" This statement was not only made by the boss of Shanhai Cinema Line, but also by the bosses of some film companies.

Over there, after the box office of "Taiwanese Film Queen" broke the historical record and made a huge profit, Hu Xiaoxiao kept his promise and gave each of the main creative staff a big red envelope, almost everyone got one.

At the same time, she also received a congratulatory call from Luo Cheng, "Ms. Hu, congratulations, the movie is a big hit, and it makes people jealous."

Hu Xiaoxiao said politely, "Mr. Luo, you're joking. Shengshi has just entered the industry and is still far behind big companies like Starlight Films. I'll have to ask Mr. Luo to take care of us in the future."

"I dare not, I dare not. Compared with Shengshi, Xingguang is far behind. This time, Xingguang lost a lot of money on the movie that was released in the same period as yours." Luo Cheng said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

Such a greedy person, who still smiled even after losing a lot of money, Hu Xiaoxiao felt something was wrong when he heard it, and immediately said: "I heard that Luo Sheng has acquired another property. Luo Sheng's fortune seems to be getting better and better. It's really enviable. He is worthy of being a person with good fortune. I think Luo Sheng's fortune will be even stronger in the future..."

Hu Xiaoxiao coaxed Luo Cheng, and his smile finally became more sincere.

After hanging up the phone, Hu Xiaoxiao went to Huang Yuliang's office and asked which films were released at the same time as "The Queen of Hong Kong" and which companies produced them.

Huang Yuliang was also reading this information and gave a copy to Hu Xiaoxiao. "There's still room for growth in the box office for 'The Queen of Treasures'. I previously tried to negotiate a postponement with the various theater chains, but the three major theater chains refused, saying they already had new films scheduled and couldn't spare the time."

Afterwards, Huang Yuliang only negotiated with some small cinemas to postpone the release of "The Princess Weiyoung".

Huang Yuliang handed Hu Xiaoxiao another set of information. It was a list of films released by several major cinema chains after the release of "The Queen of Hong Kong." "I checked. There were no big movies released last month. They were all low-budget films that were likely to flop at the box office."

Hu Xiaoxiao finished reading the information in his hand. It was really unfortunate because the release date chosen was during the winter vacation. There were more than a dozen movies released together with "The Queen of Hong Kong" all from big companies.

There are not only films produced by Starlight Films under Luo Cheng's name, but also films from Jincan Film and Television, Ji Film, and one from Qilin Film Company.

Hu Xiaoxiao's attention was focused on a film produced by Qilin Company. It had a large cast and considerable investment. Most importantly, Qilin Company and Shanhai Cinema Line had the same owner, just like Ji's Cinema Line and Ji's Film.

The difference was that Ji's Film had been semi-abandoned in recent years, with Ji Sheng shifting his focus to television, where revenue far outweighed that of the film industry. Furthermore, Ji Sheng's cinemas generated a significant amount of revenue from rentals, so the failure of Ji's Film had little impact on Ji Sheng, who had been preparing to abandon the industry in the first place.

Huang Yuliang saw Hu Xiaoxiao's interest in Qilin Company and said, "After Shanhai removed "The Queen of Treasures" from the shelves, they rescheduled a large number of screenings for Qilin Company's films. However, the market response to this film was not very good. The subject matter was old and the routine was old, so the audience didn't buy it."

"No wonder Luo Sheng called and sounded sour." Hu Xiaoxiao laughed, "I didn't expect that a film from Shengshi Films would crush the films of other film companies."

Huang Yuliang is very satisfied with Hu Xiaoxiao's earning power. He is truly the company's cash cow, not only generating substantial box office revenue but also boosting several of the company's artists to fame, instantly bringing newcomers significant exposure and buzz. "We're also lucky. Several Best Actor and comedy stars have chosen to focus their films on the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday. Our competition is so weak."
