Painting is 90% casting

There is a saying in Hollywood that 90% of the success of a movie is a due to casting - who's in it. I believe that that the same is true about my paintings - 90% of the popularity of a given painting seems to due to the subject I choose.
I used to think that technique, colors, composition, etc. were what make a painting a "hit" - however now I feel like, once I have decided to paint "X" item, the painting's fate is about 90% decided.
