214: The premiere begins

After a week of intensive publicity, as well as director Ning Hao's relationship everywhere, the work "Crazy Stone", which has paid many people's efforts, is finally going to the cinema to meet the audience. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the time comes, it's a mule or a horse, and it's time to pull it out for a walk.

Also, Ning Hao has not been idle these days, not only has he communicated with Zhongying for a long time, but also the cinemas on the Sichuan side, such as Chongqing Cinema Line, Emei Cinema Line and some small cinema lines, all of which are in his contact.

Although it didn't get any good results, fortunately, there were really no blockbusters on the market during this period of time, and the film was completed with the theme of Chongqing dialect, so it took a lot of advantage and was able to be released in theaters over there.

However, now "Crazy Stone" is not satisfactory in terms of copies and film schedule. But also, it is already benevolent in the eyes of those theater owners that such a small-budget movie can be released, how much film scheduling or copies do you expect?

Looking at the collected data, Wang Yan was really a little disappointed in his eyes. So far, there are only less than 100 copies of the movie "Crazy Stone", and the number of films scheduled is even more miserable. Some theaters are holding copies to prepare for the premiere trial to see how the audience is.

"I don't have a stiff face, like a horse's face. The current result is already good, if it weren't for the fact that there are no blockbusters released now, and the theater support over there in Sichuan, we wouldn't even have half of what we have today. Besides, I believe that the reputation of this movie will definitely be loud, and there will definitely be a blowout development of copies and film scheduling at that time. ”

Ning Hao didn't know whether he was comforting Wang Yan or comforting himself, so he said to himself.

Wang Yan glanced at Ning Hao, and had no desire to answer. He was a little disappointed in his expectations for this movie, but there was no way, who told him that he didn't have his own theater.

Ask others to do something, that's it. Besides, for such a small-budget movie, those theater owners are not stupid, they are willing to vacate the screening hall to show it, and it is very good to have the current result.

"I see, let's get ready to go to the site in a moment. ”

They had already arrived in the capital on the morning of the 18th, and they were now in a hotel, which was the hotel contacted by China Film, so they didn't have to pay Wang Yan.

The scene in Wang Yan's mouth is a cinema under China Film, and there will be a small event for China Film to meet the audience in the evening, which can be regarded as a warm-up for this movie.

Ning Hao glanced at his eyes, tidied up his clothes, and said, "Then you can also go, the movie will be released soon, I can't wait now." ”

Ning Hao's mood is understandable, this is his first transformation work, and he desperately wants to be recognized by the audience at the moment, and then continue his creation with the power of this film.

......

At the ticket office of an ordinary movie theater owned by China Film, a small promotional poster for the movie "Crazy Stone" has been pasted. On the jadeite that released green fluorescence, there were photos of Wang Yan, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Guo Tao with slightly complimenting expressions.

They are also corresponded to several promotional posters for other films.

Because of the signing of CEPA this year, Hong Kong films no longer compete with Hollywood blockbusters for the qualifications of the pitiful 20 imported films, and can officially enter the battle for the mainland box office market.

At the end of September, "New Police Story" directed by Chen Musheng and starring Jackie Chan, Nicholas Tse, Wu Yanzu, and Yang Caini was released in early October; there is also "Ke Ke Xili" directed by newcomer director Lu Chuan and starring Dobre and Zhang Lei, which is still being played in a small area; there is also "Butterfly Change in Ghost Town" directed by Chen Yaya, which was painted on November 1, and "Crazy Stone" directed by Ning Hao and starring Wang Yan, Xu Zheng, Guo Tao, and Huang Bo.

"New Police Story" has been released in the mainland for so long and has received nearly 43 million box office, and it is also among the top ten in the whole of 2004.

The box office of "Ke Ke Xili" has been released in the mainland for so long, and it is close to 6 million, but it is similar to "Crazy Stone", both of which are small costs, and it is still a co-production. Although the box office is not high, there are a lot of rumors about various awards, and it can be said that it is a good film.

The movie "Ghost Town Spy" was released for a week, with a box office of 110,000, and the cumulative box office has reached nearly one million. However, due to the quality of the film, it can only be influential in Sichuan and Shu.

But when it comes to this movie, it is impossible not to mention the heroine in it. The female number one is Chen Lili, a well-known transgender person in China, and the female number two is Hao Lulu, who is known as China's first artificial beauty.

Compared with these movies, "New Police Story" can be regarded as a good movie with tens of millions of dollars taking off at the box office and word of mouth, and the good result of 43 million box office can be said to be a good work in the whole 2004.

For mainland films of the same period, Wang Yan can basically find a lot of confidence. Although his movie "Crazy Stone" is a small budget, it is still watchable with "Ke Ke Xili" or "Ghost Town Spy", at least it can bring a smile to the audience, just by virtue of this, he thinks he can make the box office fly for a while.

Especially for the kind of random audience, that is, these audiences have no direction at all, and completely ignore the content of the starring and director of the movie, maybe they are more interested in this "Crazy Stone".

It's like what the propaganda newspaper wrote: "Year-end comedy, hilarious laughter, do you dare to come?"

......

The ticket window has gathered a lot of spectators who buy tickets, and China has this phenomenon, no matter what you do, you like to squeeze together, whether it's a meal or something, you like to squeeze together.

Buying a ticket is no exception.

"Get me two movie tickets for 'New Police Story,' .....," a young man in his twenties said to the conductor.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the girl who was holding his hand, who was supposed to be his girlfriend, pouted and said, "Don't be a policeman, I want to watch "Crazy Stone" ......"

"Well...... "New Police Story" is played by Jackie Chan, and I like his movie the most. "Men argue with reason and want to sway their girlfriends' thoughts.

"Okay, don't listen to me, break up, I'm going to break up, just watch "Crazy Stone" today, I'm a fan of Wang Yan. The girl was not easy to mess with at first glance, shouting and threatening to break up.

The boy had no choice but to say to the conductor, "Okay, okay, get me two tickets to Crazy Stone." ”

......

This situation is still appearing in cinemas around the world, and most of the audiences who came to support today's premiere are still Wang Yan's fans. After these days of publicity, Wang Yan's fans have made a lot of efforts, especially his fans in the capital, and he supports "Crazy Stone" in major movie theaters.

Until the movie was screened, according to Wang Yan and Ning Hao's observations, there were quite a few viewers who bought tickets to watch the movie "Crazy Stone", which is also due to many reasons.

Compared with the other three movies, it is basically a very good result.

When it was about to be time for the movie to be screened, Wang Yancai and Ning Hao bought movie tickets together, and bought Coke and popcorn and sat in.

The occupancy rate of the screening hall with nearly 500 seats is about 60%, and as the screening time approaches, in the last five minutes, forty or fifty audiences sit in succession, and at the beginning of the movie, Wang Yan glanced at the screening hall again, and the attendance rate should be more than 70%.

This is still the popularity that Wang Yan has recruited by promoting on the Internet these days, and Ning Hao cooperating with China Film to advertise on major buses in the capital.

With the opening credits of 'China Film' and the film companies released in cooperation with 'China Film', a close-up of Bao Shihong's face played by Guo Tao appeared on the screen, and the doctor, who is also the director of the film, Ning Hao, and he put some problems to pay attention to about the prostate, as well as the sound of water falling from the faucet in the empty room

There were bursts of laughter from time to time in the screening room, and the lines of the film "Crazy Stone" finally aroused the laughter of the underground audience after several editors carefully crafted lines, and from time to time burst into laughter.

followed by the beginning of the movie, the three of Brother Dao assembled into a moving company to steal things and were intercepted by the traffic police, Bao Shihong and Sanbao drove to practice their skills to redeem lottery tickets, Xie Xiaomeng met Brother Dao's girlfriend and began to pretend to be forced, and the real estate boss's subordinates drove a BMW to the handicraft factory to force them out......

Several episodes may seem unrelated, but they are connected by a soda can.

The soda canister thrown by Xie Xiaomeng smashed on Bao Shihong's car; after Bao Shihong stopped and cursed, because he didn't pull the hand brake, the car then crashed into the real estate boss's BMW; because of this car accident, the trio of Dao brothers, who were almost seen by the traffic police, were in danger......

The ingenious editing and the attractiveness of the well-crafted lines made the audience laugh one after another, and after watching this part, many viewers have realized that this comedy movie should be very exciting, it looks messy, but it is interlocking, it's amazing!

Wang Yan didn't bother to care about what happened in the movie, he always paid attention to the audience's emotional reaction, laughter, and occasional applause, all of which proved that the movie was extremely popular.

As the plot deepens, especially when Wang Yan, a Hong Kong thief, first came to the mainland, he was patronized by several local thieves and spewed out a 'top of your lungs', the most obvious change in the audience was the increase in the number of decibels of laughter, and the increasing range of action.

Wang Yan can even hear the sound of many viewers banging on their seats because of laughter, and even some viewers who may usually have a more active personality can't help but praise when they see the wonderful and funny plot.

In particular, the black skin walked back and forth through the sewer, one side was covered by the head of Guan Erye holding a big knife, and the other side came up but was pressed by the BMW car to cover the sewer, and then took out his mobile phone to call Brother Dao for help, and the mobile phone quickly ran out of battery The episode caused the audience to burst into laughter.

Listening to the bursting laughter in the screening hall from time to time, Wang Yan glanced at Ning Hao beside him and found that this guy was similar to him, his heart was not in the movie, he was peeking at the reactions of the people around him.

The two glanced at each other and smiled tacitly. (To be continued.) )
