Chapter 204: Darkness to the End
In September this year, a total of 35 films were released to the audience, including blockbusters such as "Myth" and "Seven Swords". Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info so the release time of "Crazy Stone" was chosen more cleverly, September 22nd, at this time, most movies have been released for two or three weeks, and the competition at the box office is relatively weak, although "Crazy Stone" is a low-budget comedy, but in this case, there is still some competitiveness.
However, for a movie, whether it is the publicity in the early stage or the schedule, no matter how well these are done, they can't match the quality garbage of the movie. After all, foreplay is all floating clouds, and whether you can climax is the key.
As the boss, Gu Wenwu naturally cares about the results of his movies. Just cared, didn't worry. Because "Crazy Stone" here has more investment, better publicity, a stronger lineup, and a bigger market. Under such conditions, Gu Wenwu has no reason to worry that this movie will fail.
Therefore, when the first-day box office results of "Crazy Stone" came out, Gu Wenwu felt that he didn't have to worry about it all the time, he just needed to know the final box office results.
"No matter how good things are for you, four million, a rookie director's work has this achievement, is your company going to produce a second Gu Wenwu." Wang Shicong's words were a little sour, obviously because of "Crazy Stone".
For Wang Shicong, what really annoyed him was that Gu Wenwu fell in love with "Crazy Stone" but he didn't, but it turned out that Gu Wenwu's choice was correct. It is true that he and Gu Wenwu are friends, but for this equally excellent peer, how can he not have a little competition in his heart. Now it seems that because of his decision-making mistakes, he not only missed a good opportunity for his company, but also lost to Gu Wenwu to some extent, which is indeed a very unhappy thing for him.
"No way, this is fate." Gu Wenwu said with a smile. There is a saying that when a man sits at home, evil comes from heaven. But when it came to him, it was the opposite. Ning Hao took the initiative to send it to the door, if he refused such a good thing, wouldn't it be a shame for thousands of people to cross.
"Speaking of which, I can let you take the initiative to call me, it seems that the matter is not small, don't say it yet, let me guess what it is." Wang Shicong said.
"Okay, guess then." Gu Wenwu said with interest.
"Could it be that you have made Tang Wei's belly bigger, and you want to ask me where there is a good hospital?" Wang Shicong said with a wicked smile.
", don't put what you've done on me." Gu Wenwu scolded.
"Just kidding, do you think I'm going to do such a non-level thing, I've always had a condom, besides, what I said is not unfounded, aren't you two living together, it's normal for this kind of thing to happen." Wang Shicong said that he was very wronged.
Well, I don't know the blessing of that paparazzi, the fact that he and Tang Wei live together has been reported, and everyone who should know already knows it, and even his parents who are far away in Anshi have called to inquire about it, and asked him to bring his girlfriend back for the New Year. To be honest, Gu Wenwu has never hated the profession of paparazzi as much as he does now.
"Do you still want to listen to it, forget it if you don't listen, but don't you regret it then?" Gu Wenwu threatened.
"Don't, okay, I won't say it, listen to you say it's okay, let's talk about it." Wang Shicong said.
"I decided to start filming the sequel to 'The Great Detective'." Gu Wenwu said.
"What, that's great!" Wang Shicong said in surprise.
……
History is always strikingly similar. Gu Wenwu relied on a comedy to become famous, and Ning Hao seems to be like Gu Wenwu. On the first day of the national release, relying on the good publicity in the early stage, "Crazy Stone" won the box office of 4 million, and then made efforts all the way, the box office of the day increased day by day, and the box office reached a terrifying number of 33 million in the first week, directly winning the second place in the weekly box office list.
Another rookie director came out with such an almost invincible momentum, and what else could the media say except shouting about the dark horse. As a very likable comedy, "Crazy Stone" did not live up to the name of a dark horse, and continued to make efforts in the second week, and finally won the box office championship of the week with a score of 31 million. In the third week of its release, under the impact of the Hollywood blockbuster "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", coupled with the declining trend, it won the third place in the weekly box office list with a score of 24 million. In the fourth week, many new films were released, and the film schedule of "Crazy Stone" was greatly reduced, and finally ended successfully with a score of 10 million. In the four weeks after its release, it won 98 million, which is only 2 million short of breaking 100 million. In order to complete the goal of breaking 100 million, Gu Wenwu also deliberately discussed with Wang Shicong and slightly extended the release time of "Crazy Stone". On the 32nd day of its final release, the total domestic box office of "Crazy Stone" successfully exceeded 100 million.
This is not the first feature film directed by Ning Hao, but it is definitely the most successful one of all time. Relying on this movie, he successfully entered the ranks of the 100 million yuan director club, and also made the name Ning Hao enter the field of vision of the public and the media for the first time. Everyone seemed to see another Gu Wenwu.
"Crazy Stone" made a lot of money, Gu Wenwu was happy, but at the same time there were some small troubles. That is, I don't know which media exposed the reason why "Crazy Stone" was able to be filmed was because Ning Hao took the script to the door to attract investment, and then Gu Wenwu saw the pearls, and he fell in love with this drama. So, in the past few days, there have always been some depressed people who have come to the door with scripts to seek investment.
In fact, many times the reason why no one appreciates it is not for that reason, it is just because I am not good. There are so many people who think they have never met each other, but in fact, most of them are half-hangers. Gu Wenwu read a few books with interest at first, but soon gave up, because reading garbage scripts is also a kind of torture. Some illogical, empty and boring scripts are no different from poisonous weeds.
Gu Wenwu handed over the work of reading the script to the staff of the studio, and now that the studio is gradually getting bigger, some departments that should be there are also there, and finding a few people to screen the script is naturally a matter of one sentence.
"Mr. Gu, here is the list of scripts I received yesterday, please take a look." The assistant handed a list to Gu Wenwu, who had just arrived at the studio. This is Gu Wenwu's request, although he doesn't read the script, but he has to look at the list, in case there is really a script he is familiar with, he can avoid missing it.
"Hey, "Wulin Gaiden", interesting." Suddenly seeing a familiar name popping up on the list, Gu Wenwu looked inexplicable. I really wanted to come to something, I was still thinking about how to arrange Yao Cheng, but I didn't expect that another one would be sent to the door by himself.
