Chapter 223: The box office is also crazy

On January 1, 2021, Wang Xiaobai rarely went home for a holiday.

Dad was very surprised by Wang Xiaobai's sudden homecoming, guarded the door, dodged a crack in the door, and kept looking out, making Wang Xiaobai a little baffled.

"Dad, what are you looking at?" asked Wang Xiaobai.

Father Wang said with suspicion in his eyes, "Why did you come back?"

"It's not a New Year's Day, I'll come back and rest for a few days. Wang Xiaobai said that he wanted to walk in, but he didn't push it.

Father Wang continued to ask, "Are you coming back alone?"

"Who else?" he asked.

A flash of disappointment flashed in Daddy Wang's eyes, and he said, "Alas, come in." As he spoke, he dodged a crack and let Wang Xiaobai in.

Wang Xiaobai changed his shoes at the door, and Father Wang said meaningfully: "If you come back next time, say it in advance, don't make any surprises, it's not uncommon." ”

"What do you mean?"

Wang Xiaobai asked, how do you listen to the meaning of this, it seems that it is not the right time for me to come back.

"What do you mean? You said you are young, why are you so suspicious?" said Wang's father impatiently, and then muttered again: "I knew you were back, so I would have gone out with your mother to play......"

“……”

Wang Xiaobai's face was black, "Dad, just recite what you want to say in your heart next time......"

"Did I speak?" said Father Wang, "At a young age, my ears are not good. ”

“……”

Well, what else can I say?

"Lao Yu, go out to buy some food, my son is back. Father Wang closed the door and shouted at Mother Wang.

"Smashed back?" Wang Ma's voice could be heard from upstairs, and she was very surprised.

Pedaling.

The sound of Wang Ma going downstairs.

Wang Xiaobai felt a little comforted, it seems that in addition to my father's unreliability, my mother is still very reliable.

Wang Ma hurried downstairs, her eyes were full of surprise, and she looked around, as if she was looking for something.

"Mom, what are you looking for?"

"Where's your girlfriend?" asked Wang's mother suspiciously.

"When will I have a girlfriend?" asked Wang Xiaobai in surprise.

"Oh, I don't have a girlfriend. The enthusiasm in Wang's mother's eyes was extinguished, and she shouted upstairs: "Xiao Hei, hurry, come down, bring your wife and children down, your brother is back." ”

Blackie?!

Wang Xiaobai's heart was shocked, and he looked at the old couple.

When did I have a younger brother, even a wife and children?

No wonder my parents have been ignoring me outside, it turns out that ......

For a moment, he was a little sad.

Bang bang bang.

"Woohoo!"

Suddenly, two Alaskas rushed down from upstairs and shouted at Wang Xiaobai. At the top of the stairs, there is also a little Alaskan probe that looks stupid and cute, looking like it wants to come down but doesn't dare to come down.

"Mom, when did you get your dog?"

Wang Xiaobai asked.

"I raised it this year. ”

"Besides, you don't come back every day when you're outside, what if we don't have a dog as a companion?"

Wang's father and mother complained together.

Wang Xiaobai has a black line, is this considered a rake?

Obviously, you don't like to take care of me, and you got me a younger brother outside, and now it's all my fault?

Although the family suddenly added Ding to import, Wang Xiaobai still had to cheer up and say, "By the way, what about my younger brothers and sisters?"

"No, isn't this your brother, Xiao Hei. This is his daughter-in-law, Xiaohua, that is their son, Xiaobu. Wang Ma pointed to the two dogs that kept wagging their tails at her feet.

"Oh, it's them. Wang Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that my parents still love me.

"Okay, don't be verbose, hurry up and go grocery shopping, my son will rarely come back." "The prince exercises the authority of the head of the family.

"What kind of vegetables to buy? Even the dog has given birth to a son, what about him?" Wang's mother glared, and Wang's father suddenly wilted, and the position of the head of the family was in jeopardy.

Wang Ma glanced at Wang Xiaobai, who was low-eyebrowed and pleasing to the eyes, and said, "Do you want to eat?"

“……”

Wang Xiaobai didn't dare to squeak.

"Okay, okay, it's rare for my son to come back, so don't talk about it. Father Wang said, Mother Wang snorted and left, Wang Xiaobai was a lot more comfortable.

Daddy Wang said, "Come, go and bring the chess pieces on the TV cabinet, and let's kill a game...... Speaking of which, we haven't played chess for ten years, but it wasn't like that back then, you pestered me to play chess with you every day......"

Wang's father's words made Wang Xiaobai recall his childhood and feel warm.

At that time, the family had no money, my parents were still very close, and the family was still very warm, and now I ......

Wang Xiaobai silently squeaked, picked up the chess and set it up.

Swinging around, Wang Xiaobai found that this chess was wrong.

Father Wang also looked out, and said with a look of surprise and anger: "Where is your object?

Depend on!

Play Mao's chess!

You're playing a routine!

Wang Xiaobai wanted to cry without tears, he knew that he wouldn't come back, and he urged marriage as soon as he came back.

I'm only 23 years old, and I'm still a kid!

……

Wang Xiaobai thought that this was the extreme, but he forgot one sentence - your father will always be your father.

After eating, Wang Xiaobai took a nap in the living room for a while, but as soon as he woke up, someone slapped him in the face. He immediately exploded, looked around angrily, and saw that no one was watching TV next to Wang Dad in the living room, and the key thing to watch was the animation side - "Gourd Baby".

"Grandpa!"

On the TV, the gourd baby screamed loudly.

"Alas. ”

"Grandpa!"

"Alas!"

"Grandpa......"

"Where am I here......"

Seeing that his father was so bored that he wanted to praise the cartoon, Wang Xiaobai put away all his grievances, quietly took the pillow in front of him, and continued to pretend to be his grandson......

……

During New Year's Day, "Stone" was released.

"Stone" is a bold attempt by Ning Xiaohao, a madman, using the editing technique of narrative montage to cleverly edit the story that happened at the same time.

If you only look at the beginning, this is a chaotic, illogical, and unrelated story, but as the plot extends backwards, people suddenly realize that this is what happened.

Wang Xiaobai knows that Ning Xiaohao's idol is the famous American director Guy Ritchie, and he admires Guy Ritchie's editing techniques very much, but he is not a person who simply likes to imitate, and he plays Guy Ritchie's editing methods out of flowers, giving people a refreshing feeling.

"Hu Kan Film", which is very famous in the industry, published a commentary article saying: "After Wang Xiaobai gradually gave up the low-cost film market, the film once again illuminated the dark Chinese low-cost film market. The sense of language in "Crazy Stone" is completely cinematic and audio-visual, rather than the traditional paradigm of 'prose and even poetry' that Chinese films are good at and firmly grasp. It deliberately appeals to the dialect's special sense of humor, and is all about the comedy of small people in a turbulent metropolis, all with dense and vivid flashing details. Chinese movies need more Ning Xiaohao. ”

Zhang Tao, a famous film critic of Nandu Culture, said in the article: "The significance of "Crazy Stone" to the Chinese film industry is definitely greater than the value of the film itself. Regardless of the artistic advantages and disadvantages of the film, just looking at the spiritual outlook presented to the audience by the film is a kind of imposing, a vivid sense of life, which cannot be obtained by means of money, fame, qualifications, political achievements, projects, marginal themes, etc., and these impetuous terms are covering all aspects of Chinese films, forcing ordinary audiences to drift away from Chinese films. ”

……

In addition to the unanimous praise of the media, the big names in the circle also expressed their sighs.

Chen Ke, a well-known director of Hong Kong, said: ""Crazy Stone" is not like a mainland movie, and Ning Xiaohao's grasp of humor rarely appears in Xiang Award films. ”

Huang Xing, a well-known director, said: "What you need to be smart is wisdom and years of accumulation, Ning Xiaohao has a very good ability to control details, the French New Wave, Italian neorealism and Quentin's noir films are all reflected here, and the director has moved this contemporary and popular collage art method very well." ”

As Wang Xiaobai thought, a "Stone" made Chinese film practitioners and countless audiences know a young and talented director.

The three words Ning Xiaohao have also become the hottest topic of discussion at the moment.

In a wave of praise, the box office of "Stone" came out on the first day, 12.3 million, a result that is neither high nor low.

However, this is only the starting point.

After the box office exceeded 10 million on the first day, the charm and reputation of "Stone" finally accumulated, and the box office doubled the next day, ranking sixth in the box office with a single-day box office of 25 million.

On Sunday, January 3, the peak of movie-watching, the single-day box office of "Stone" exceeded 30 million for the first time, closing at 32 million.

was released for three days, with a single-week box office of 69.3 million, and among the 21 films released on New Year's Day, it won the eighth best result in the single-week box office.

At the end of New Year's Day, it stands to reason that the box office should decline.

However, "Stone" has shown its unique charm, and the single-day box office has increased instead of falling.

On the first working day after New Year's Day, "Stone" ranked third at the single-day box office with a score of 33 million.

In the following week, the box office of "Stone" soared, ranking second in the total box office of a single week with a total box office of 240 million.

In the second week, the box office of "Stone" increased instead of decreasing, and in a posture beyond normalcy, it brushed down another 320 million box office.

So far, "Stone", which has been released for 17 days, has swiped a total box office of 740 million, shocking the industry.

Although the total box office of "Stone" has not yet exceeded one billion, according to this trend, one billion is just the beginning.

Before the release of "Stone", Ning Xiaohao was just an unknown newcomer without any masterpieces, but in the end, with such ungodly results, everyone knew the words "Ning Xiaohao".

Wang Xiaobai is too ruthless.

Not only is the movie he made crazy, but he even looks at people so ruthlessly.

From his appearance, he first became popular with Murong Yanliang, who had been hitting the streets, then Jiang Wenbin, and then excavated Ning Xiaohao.

Just when Ning Xiaohao shocked the industry with the sky-defying box office, another Wang Baobao, who has not been very optimistic, refreshed people's cognition.

On this day, Wang Baobao suddenly found Wang Xiaobai and said excitedly: "Brother, I have to go abroad!"
