Chapter 131: On the Importance of Scripts!

The box office of "The Strange Case of the Old Demon Capital" crushed the "Crazy Stone" on the first day, and Light and Shadow Media beat Huayi Summer File to take the lead.

You don't need to read such a report to know that it is written by Light and Shadow Media, but there are still many viewers who don't know the truth are attracted, to put it bluntly, it is the same as usually going out to eat, which restaurant has more people, and the more people like to go to.

And what if "Crazy Stone" can't be compared with "The Old Demon Capital Strange Case" at the box office? Huayi also has a way!

"The Road to Counterattack of Low-budget Comedy Films!" The title is still very bluffing, but the report goes the opposite way, saying that this film is very miserable, how miserable is it? There are no stars, no special effects, and the total investment is only a mere 3.5 million.

But it received 23 million at the box office on the day of the premiere, if you talk about the revenue ratio, hum! "The Strange Case of the Old Demon Capital" has long been thrown out of the clouds!

The confrontation between the two sides continued, and by June 20, ten days after its release, the cumulative box office of "The Strange Case of the Old Demon Capital" had exceeded 320 million.

And the box office of "Crazy Stone" has also reached 180 million, although there is still a big gap in looking at "Crazy Stone", but insiders can understand at a glance that the gap between the two sides is constantly narrowing!

After Huayi's high-level research and decision, it was even more ruined, and directly increased the amount of "Crazy Stone" to 54%!

This is already the treatment of a pro-son!

The whole film is only 100 minutes long, but what about "The Strange Case of the Old Magic Capital"? The whole film is 130 minutes long, and it is too long, even if Guangguang Media wants to add more shows, it can't add much, after all, you can't only show one movie all day, right? Theaters also want to make money!

June 21st is Friday, and it is the day when the new season of "Longing for Life" is broadcast, and this "slow variety show" has received super high attention since the first season.

The combination of Mr. Huang and Heluo has also been loved by audiences of all ages, and the new member sister Zifeng in the third season is also known as the national girl because of her well-behaved and cute image.

"Hey, the guest of this issue is actually Li Mu?"

"Haha, Peng Peng's face is cautious, are you really afraid that Mr. Huang will replace him? Don't be funny, Li Mu is so busy, how can he have so much time to participate in variety shows?"

"Puff~~~ This ad is too hardcore, right? Premiere on June 10? Uh, okay, I missed it, I'm sorry, I'm going to make up the ticket tomorrow!"

"Li Mu actually plays a very sad international thief?

As soon as the picture turned, it came to the clip of Li Mu chopping wood, "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms" came out, and the barrage suddenly became clear.

"I don't believe it, this cliff is written!"

"Not necessarily, Li Mu's talent doesn't need to be questioned, right?

"Supporting Li Mu shouldn't have been prepared in advance, just look at the expressions of Teacher Huang and He Luo!"

"Yes, Mr. Huang, I understand, he won't use his deceased best friends to consume. ”

Just when everyone thought that Li Mu had finished pretending, "Grandma's Penghu Bay" stole the spotlight again!

The soothing melody and soft singing voice seem to bring people back to the innocent years of childhood.

"Damn, where can I download this song?"

"Tongqiu, it's so good, I can't stop at all, I'm going to use it as a lullaby!"

"I don't have to download it, this song doesn't seem to be out of the studio yet!"

"Ahem, doesn't anyone sympathize with Grandma Li Mu as much as I do?"

"No, it should be sympathetic to the grandmother of the whole world, all of them have been replaced by grandmothers!haha!"

Longing for life is currently the highest-rated variety show on Mango Satellite TV, and the publicity effect can be imagined, and the next day is June 22nd.

The box office of "Crazy Stone" ushered in a big explosive growth.

The single-day box office directly exceeded 50 million, while the box office of the "Old Demon Capital Strange Case" on that day was only 31 million!

In other words, as of June 22, the box office gap between the two sides is only more than 120 million!

This really made the light and shadow media panic, is there a big gap between the 100 million box office? If both sides are blockbusters, then the gap must be quite large!

But "Crazy Stone" is just a small-budget comedy with an investment of 3.5 million, and to put it bluntly, this is not a heavyweight game.

If Light and Shadow Media wants to win beautifully, it must have a large lead at the box office, otherwise it will give others the truth, after all, if you calculate the revenue ratio, "Crazy Stone" is already a mythical performance!

So the two sides started another wave of public opinion war, but unfortunately in the face of Huayi, which is quite large, Light and Shadow Media did everything they could and did not take advantage, and even lost one point.

The key to losing is that the plot design of "Crazy Stone" is too ingenious, one link after another, which is unforgettable, and many people even read other people's comments and found that they still didn't understand something, and they didn't hesitate to brush the box office twice!

And Huayi has once again increased the amount of "Crazy Stone".

Sixty-three percent of the film schedule, this is already the treatment that only a Huayi veteran like Director Feng has left!

The gap between the two sides has been narrowing in a tug-of-war, and by July 1st, "Crazy Stone" was only 70 million behind the box office!

Light and Shadow Media saw that the big thing was not good, and quickly gritted its teeth and raised the schedule of "The Strange Case of the Old Demon Capital", but it could only maintain this gap, and did not widen it.

The most interesting thing is that Light and Shadow Media has also harmed the interests of other producers by doing this, after all, the length of "The Strange Case of the Old Demon Capital" is too long, and increasing its schedule will seriously compress the amount of other films, can the producers be happy? The general movie duration is two hours, and it seems that it is only ten minutes more, but don't underestimate these ten minutes, you can arrange one more movie at the end of the day!

So you immortals fight and cause us mortals to suffer, why?

In the end, Light and Shadow Media had to make concessions on the division to appease the producers.

It's just that in this way, the face and lining are all lost!

The large conference room of light and shadow media.

"A bunch of garbage, what did you say before?, but now?" said a man with half a hundred hair at the top of the conference room.

The crowd below was silent.

Director Jiang sighed and said: "Mr. Wang, don't blame them for this, everyone did their best, and blame me for not being as good as others!"

Mr. Wang didn't dare to vent to this great director no matter how angry he was, and he had to persuade him with good words, otherwise if this person was disheartened, what would he do against Huayi?

"Ahem, Director Jiang, don't be careful, I definitely don't mean to target you, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and we are still leading at the box office now. ”

"Yes, Director Jiang, let's not lose yet!"

Director Jiang waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "Okay, don't comfort me, this time I am convinced of losing, I didn't expect that what the kid said would really come true in the life I was longing for!"

Everyone looked at each other, Director Jiang is a well-known pride in the industry, when has he praised others, not to mention that he is still a competitor!

"Director Jiang, what do you think, Crazy Stone, how is this film?" asked Mr. Wang.

Director Jiang recalled what he saw and heard yesterday when he went to Huayi Cinema in disguise with his agent.

Whether it is walking out of the theater or walking into the theater, 80% of them are talking about the plot of "Crazy Stone".

At first, he was dismissive, thinking that it was just a trick, but when he watched the whole film, he found out!

There are still many things that the audience has not experienced, and this film is far better than what many viewers say!

"Well, this is the best comedy I've ever seen!

Everyone present was a little stunned, they didn't expect Director Jiang to have such a high opinion of this film!

"Then, who do you think is the core character?" Mr. Wang's meaning is self-evident, since he can't win Huayi on the front, then dig people from the side! Since he is digging people, he must dig up the most core.

Director Jiang has actually been analyzing this problem, what is so good about "Crazy Stone"? Is it the director? No, Liang Hongfei's shooting style is still relatively immature in his opinion, and if you want to be alone, you need at least several big dramas to exercise!

So is it an actor? Obviously not, although Guo Tao and Liu Hua have good acting skills, but that's all, not to mention other supporting roles, not to mention being able to carry a play, even Mike played by Li Mu is only a functional role in the play, and the effect of another person will not be much worse!

After counting carefully, Director Jiang found that almost all the actors in the play can be replaced.

So.............

"The core is the script!" Director Jiang woke up!

"Script?" Everyone present was a little stunned, script?In film and television dramas, revising the script has become the most common thing.

Not only does the director like to change it, but even the actors who are not human want to change the script in order to set off themselves.

Such an existence was actually said by Director Jiang to be the most core thing?

"That's right, it's the script, the plot of this play is interlocking, and it's quite streamlined, no link is superfluous, the picture that seemed irrelevant at first suddenly became a very important plot driving thread in the back, this is the most terrifying thing about this play!"

Director Jiang cut the railway!

Mr. Wang frowned, if it was an ordinary person, he would be sure to dig it up, but on the contrary, the screenwriter of "Crazy Stone" is Li Mu himself!

Earlier, Light and Shadow Media checked this guy after the box office came out on the first day, but I didn't know if I didn't check it, this Li Mu is simply a non-human existence!

Talent or something put aside first, the most important thing is that this guy is also the boss himself, and the "Muzi Studio" has only been established for about two years, but the combined income has exceeded 300 million, which is not counting the income of "Crazy Stone".

How to dig such a person?

Don't make trouble, Li Mu will lack that money?

..............

Similarly, Huayi is also in a meeting for "Crazy Stone", seeing that by July 10th, a month after its release, the box office of "Crazy Stone" has exceeded 600 million, and the seemingly impossible goal of 800 million is just around the corner!

How to face Li Mu has become a choice question in front of Huayi!
