Chapter 321: The Monkey Calls the King

Huang Zhongjun looked at him, wanted to speak and stopped, and after a while, he said: "Xiao Tank, don't worry too much, Lin Xiaoguang's ability can't turn the sky...... I can tell you responsibly that no matter how much the newspaper blows word of mouth, the final box office of this film will not be high. ”

Feng Xiaowan nodded and said: "I know that it is a fool's dream for a small-budget movie of three or four million to get a high box office, as far as I know, there is no such precedent in history." ”

Huang Zhongjun said with a smile: "In this case, let's go with him, Lin Xiaoguang is the number one general of the tip studio, and now every studio is self-financing, he is our cash cow, I don't look at the monk's face but also the Buddha's face." ”

Feng Xiaowan nodded and said: "That's right, I just want to see where this so-called best comedy movie of the year can go." ”

Huang Zhongjun stood up, patted Feng Xiaowan's shoulder, and joked with a smile: "Don't worry, we Huayi have your Feng comedy in charge, can those demons and monsters still mess up?"

Feng Xiaowan smiled knowingly: "Who dares to say that there will be a monkey popping out of this crack in the stone?"

Huang Zhongjun said disdainfully: "If there is really a Monkey King who makes trouble in the sky, then I am the Buddha of the Western Heavens!

January 20th.

The fifth day of the nationwide theatrical release of "Crazy Stone".

Morning.

China Film Group.

Chairman's Office.

"Bang dang!"

Just when Han Sanping was impatient and wanted to urge, he suddenly heard that the door was pushed open, and Manager Zhou of the distribution department ran in with a snort.

"Factory director, come out! He pinched a data sheet, his expression excited.

"Hey, slowly, hairy!" Han Sanping waved his hand.

After the other party calmed down a little, Han Sanping said: "Let's talk about the box office here in the capital first." ”

"70,000!"

"Demon Capital?"

"90,000!"

"Chongqing?"

"120,000!"

"Huh?"

Han Sanping smiled and calmly lit a cigarette.

As of yesterday, "Crazy Stone" has been released for four days, and this movie can still brush up on the box office of 120,000 in a mountain city like Chongqing, which has to make Han Sanping excited.

You must know that this year's most powerful "Wuji" is only 150,000 in Chongqing.

It seems that Ning Hao's movie chose to shoot in Chongqing and chose the right one, and the crowd there still gave him a little thin noodles.

In the end, the national box office on the fourth day of the film was 850,000, which was much higher than the 720,000 box office on the third day.

However, the box office of "Crazy Stone" can also be said to be a bit shit luck, released on January 15, just after the New Year's Day schedule when blockbusters were piled up, and entered the New Year's Day file and the Chinese New Year file, adding up to nearly ten days.

And "Crazy Stone" took advantage of the void during this period, and when it reached this gap, there were almost no opponents to beat.

Manager Zhou reported the good news first, and after a while, the detailed materials were sent over, and Han Sanping held a few pieces of paper and read them seriously.

Starting from the first word, to the data in the middle, and then to the last word, I can't help but start to think about it.

"Crazy Stone" only had a box office of 60,000 on the first day of premiere, and the box office exceeded 500,000 after the increase in film scheduling on the second day, 700,000 on the third day, and 800,000 on the fourth day......

To tell the truth, in the past ten or two decades in the film industry, Han Sanping has never seen a small-budget movie that can fight and resist, if this trend continues, if the theater chain adds a little more film to it, it is a matter of time before the box office of "Crazy Stone" exceeds one million on the same day......

Han Sanping knew exactly what that meant.

"Crazy Stone" is very likely to become a dark horse of domestic films with small investment and big returns, and it is also the first movie in Ning Hao's career to have a box office of more than 10 million.

Rao is Han Sanping has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he can't help but be a little excited at this time.

Although Han Sanping is restrained on the surface, he has already turned the pot in his heart, he has released movies under his hands for so many years, won so many awards and box office, but today it is a completely different experience.

That string of numbers, in Han Sanping's view, is not a simple monetary victory, but also an affirmation and praise for his own promotion of Ning Hao.

After a long time, Han Sanping finished smoking two cigarettes and dialed Ning Hao's phone number.

The day after receiving the call, Ning Hao, who was doing movie promotion in Tianjin, rushed back to the capital and came to Han Sanping's office.

Not long after Ning Hao sat down, Han Sanping pointed to the thick gold necklace hanging around Ning Hao's neck, and asked angrily and funny: "You said that you are quite a young man of literature and art, why do you have to wear this?"

Ning Hao said frankly: "Third master, what am I ...... Keep reminding myself that I'm a vulgar person. ”

"Haha. Han Sanping was amused, and then said: "You kid is quite self-aware. ”

After a few words of greeting with a smile, Han Sanping began to calm down and put on a straight face: "Okay, let's get down to business, Ning Hao, you have made a total of three films, and the previous two were big box office failures because of the subject matter, as the director, I have the responsibility to salvage you ashore, so I invested in the stone movie." ”

"In recent years, the film market has been sluggish, and now so many directors who make movies have gone to make TV series, but you have resolutely devoted yourself to the ranks of movies, which is commendable. ”

"At the beginning, the leadership team of the Film Bureau was reorganized, and the focus of the work was to grasp the rectification, and many movies could not be made, but now it is different, their butts have sat on the bench of the film, and the focus of the work has naturally shifted to grasping creation, and grasping rectification is still for prosperity in the final analysis, which is an important criterion for measuring the work performance of the Film Bureau, and this process of transformation is also your opportunity, understand?"

Ning Hao thought for a moment and said respectfully, "I understand what you mean. ”

Han Sanping picked up the kettle on the table, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "You also have to learn from this success, the best way is to actively prepare new scripts, communicate more with the Film Bureau, and I will do my best to support you when the time comes." ”

Ning Hao thought for a while, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Third master, will it be too fast?" My movie has just been released, can you wait for the movie to be released before discussing the new script?"

Han Sanping said with a smile: "Of course, I didn't mean to let you prepare the script now, to tell you from the heart, I have high expectations for you." You should play to your characteristics and continue to make movies that are a little more fun and entertaining like Rock. ”

"Because I think our Chinese people's lives are more depressed, and we all want to see happy stories. ”

Hearing Han Sanping say this, Ning Hao remembered that he wanted to shoot "Red Racing" before, but it was shelved due to financial problems, so he roughly introduced the central plot of "Red Racing" to Han Sanping.

After hearing this, Han Sanping said earnestly: "This is a very imaginative film structure, but the idea of the film cannot be negative, it should be positive and full of sincerity." In addition to that, I have a small piece of advice personally. ”

Ning Hao moved his chair, bowed down and said, "Third Master, you say, I'll listen to you." ”

Han Sanping said with a straight face: "Since your crazy stone is so hot now, why don't you strike while the iron is hot and make it into a crazy series? ”

Han Sanping's words, to Ning Hao's ears, can be described as an enlightenment.

January 25th.

"Crazy Stone" started low and went high, the total box office across the country exceeded 10 million, and the main creators of the crew held a celebration banquet in Shangri-La in the magic capital.

At the same time, the epic blockbuster "Night Banquet" produced by Huayi and directed by Feng Xiaowan also held a grand premiere ceremony in Beijing.

Of course, in addition to "Night Banquet" and "Crazy Stone", there are also many films released one after another, and the mainland film market in 2006 finally ushered in a mighty Chinese New Year war!
