Chapter 60: Super Box Office Dark Horse
"Yes!" Ning Hao looked at the crowd in front of him with a satisfied face, and sighed, "Yanxi, it seems that I really succeeded." It's only a few months ago when I was still sleeping in a hospital bed at home, forced by my sister-in-law's family to pay off my debts and sell my house, I really felt like I was under pressure on my shoulders at that time. But now that I'm a director, I've got a movie that's out there, and it's going to be a big hit! It's unbelievable. ”
Chen Yanxi nodded, recalling her reaction when Ning Hao said that she wanted to make a movie, and she persuaded him to go to work in her father's company, and felt that it was whimsical to make a movie with DV, and she didn't even believe that a million could make a movie that was released.
At that time, Ning Hao said very confidently: "I have to rely on this movie to pay off my debts." At that time, he was desperate for someone to believe in him and support him. And Chen Yanxi said to him: "I believe in you." ”
Sure enough, in the next time, he watched Ning Hao use the only funds he had, write and direct himself, and constantly audition, and found many extras who were not recognized at the time, such as Huang Bo and Guo Tao, but the result was that Ning Hao's vision was so vicious!
The protagonists and supporting roles of "Crazy Stone" are so charming, and they also let her see Ning Hao's charm.
Chen Yanxi thought that Ning Hao was already about to become a successful director, and she even failed to audition for a supporting role, and while she was proud of Ning Hao, she was also a little disappointed.
"Why is it so long!" a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old paced impatiently, turning his neck from time to time, complaining: "Why is there only so many movie theaters, and there is only one theater, what do you think about this movie theater! If I don't see it again, I'm going to die......
Suddenly, the young man saw the beautiful Chen Yanxi on the side, exclaimed, and then looked at Ning Hao on the side, suddenly fell into thought, touched his chin and stared at Ning Hao: "You are? ”
"I'm sorry, we shouldn't have seen it. Ning Hao said categorically, but he was a little surprised in his heart, could it be that he is now famous?
Without waiting for the young man to think about it, Ning Hao took Chen Yanxi's hand, glanced at her, and squeezed out of the movie theater together, until he rushed out, and then said loudly: "Yanxi, it seems that we will wear sunglasses when we go out in the future." ”
"Haha. Chen Yanxi also smiled and followed Ning Hao, running.
In the end, the box office results of the first week of "Crazy Stone" were finally fixed on the number of 3.2045 million, and in the last few shows, the movie theaters were full, and even the attendance rate at night was as high as more than 90%, and there was an endless stream of young people who came to stay up late to watch.
The box office of more than 3 million directly made "Crazy Stone" ranked 17th in the national weekly box office list (December 20 to December 26), and the first place was Feng Xiaogang's work "No Thieves in the World", one of the three most famous directors in the domestic film industry, this is the third week of its release, with a weekly box office of 24 million, and above "Crazy Stone" is the 16th "New Police Story" , starring Cheng Long, has been in theaters for five weeks, and at the end of the schedule, it can still contribute about 4.05 million to the box office.
It is naturally an honorable thing to be ranked behind "New Police Story", and look at the theaters where it is released, "New Police Story" still has more than 500 theaters, but you must know that "Crazy Stone" only relies on the box office of dozens of theaters.
This 17th position is average, but with 30 theaters for test screenings, and then a score of 3.2045 million, all the film companies were frightened, where did this Yingyi Entertainment dig up the baby bump!
Yingyi Entertainment Company is now very proud, and the box office in the first week has already made them a small profit. And, what they are looking forward to the most is the horror potential of "Crazy Stone"! It's definitely a blockbuster movie.
So in the second week, more than 800 theaters were arranged to release it, and I directly got the treatment of blockbusters.
It's just that even though "Crazy Stone" is regarded as a dark horse, the performance of the second week (12.27-1.2) is still surprising. As it entered New Year's Day, more students and young people poured into the theaters, and the box office of this week was terrifying!
18,604,500!
And "No Thieves in the World", which occupied the top spot on the list as soon as it was released before, had a box office of 18 million in the fourth week of its release!
In other words, "Crazy Stone" actually defeated "No Thieves in the World" by a narrow margin in the weekly box office competition!
This is simply a super dark horse that has never been seen in the Chinese film industry! Like a thunderclap in the flatland, all film and television companies and entertainment media were shocked.
Film critics and fans were also a little shocked and speechless!
Many people don't even know what type of film "Crazy Stone" is, after all, just looking at the name, I really don't know if it's a comedy, horror, or cartoon!
More than 800 theaters released in the end, in the end, narrowly defeated more than 1,500 theaters released "No Thieves in the World", although the other party is already in the fourth week, but after all, it is Feng Xiaogang's work! An eighteen-year-old rookie director actually stepped on Feng Xiaogang's head? This is also too absurd.
Looking at this result, the entire Yingyi Entertainment Company is also crazy, and it continues to increase the number of movie theaters in the third week.
The number of theaters released in "Crazy Stone" suddenly came to 1,400. However, because it has been released for three weeks, the attendance rate has dropped slightly, but the total box office is still surprising, 15 million, and Feng Xiaogang's "No Thieves in the World" has also entered a weak period, only winning 14.8 million box office, that is to say, Ning Hao once again beat Feng Xiaogang to win the weekly box office championship.
And the total box office of "Crazy Stone" also came to more than 38 million.
This achievement is a bit surprising even for Ning Hao, after all, "Crazy Stone" in memory also won more than 20 million box office. Unexpectedly, it was released two years earlier, and the box office increased by nearly half.
Compared with Ning Hao's slight surprise, this terrifying result scared Chen Yanxi, Yao Cheng and others, especially the starring actor of this film, Guo Tao kept sighing as if he had Alzheimer's: "I turned out to be the male protagonist of a box office movie with more than 30 million yuan!"
For this unprecedented box office myth, the entertainment media will naturally not miss it, especially with such a young director with a topic behind such a magical box office.
In the first week, some media began to pay attention to "Crazy Stone", which was just a dark horse at that time, but after the box office reached the top in the second week, the film industry had exploded, and when it still won the championship in the third week, the entire entertainment industry exploded!
Due to the crazy reports of the media, the topicality was detonated again, which made more people enter the theater.
