Similar stories have been filmed abroad, 1998's "Two Big Smoking Guns", which is also a few men intriguing for money, and there are also beautiful women to accompany them, but the film is extremely cool, the words are cool, the music is cool, the structure is cool, and several actors are even cooler than scum, compared to "Crazy Stone" is more like a vulgar copycat, with a false appearance, but no character core. ”

Zhou Dusk's blog, there are more than 500 replies, more than 2,000 reprints, most of the replies are netizens who have watched "Crazy Stone" and think it is very exciting, many people can't help but greet Zhou Dusk's ancestors, of course, there are also many people who agree with his views and call on netizens to discuss rationally.

When Li Xiaole saw this blog on his home computer, he was in a very good mood, and couldn't help but daxiao, finally, he also has a heavyweight "brainless black", this is the benefit of the test screening, let some people watch it first, and then take the initiative to 'find out' the flaws and errors in the film, with these negative views, it will trigger a big discussion among the audience.

This can not only encourage some audiences to enter the theater for the second and third time, but also allow more people to know and understand the film.

The later "Little Times" is a classic model of this kind of propaganda, and it is a coincidence that Zhou Dusk is also the brainless director surnamed Guo...... It seems that this film critic has a lot of opinions about the types of films that he can't accept.

Now that the topic has gone up, the film will be lowered, and then it will be stopped for a while, so that the audience will suffer for a while, and the effect will be completely different when it is being broadcast commercially across the country.

Li Xiaole felt that everything was going well, but he unexpectedly received a text message, picked up the mobile phone and saw that it was an unknown number, which read: "My company hopes to buy your "Crazy Stone" audio and video copyright, the price is 100,000, if you are interested, please reply to the text message." ”

Looking at this text message, Li Xiaole was happy, this anonymous phone call, and he also claimed to be "my company", he was obviously a pirate, and he actually opened 100,000 yuan on this pirated copy, which is obviously quite discerning, much more sensitive than the film critic Zhou Dusk market.

You must know that at this time, the cap on China's audio-visual copyright is 200,000, and the average movie can be sold for up to 50,000 yuan.

"It's time to eat, Xiaole~" Mother Li's voice came from outside the door.

"Okay, I'll go to the toilet first~"

Li Xiaole hurriedly got up from his seat, solved it comfortably in the toilet, shook it clean, lifted his pants and was about to go out, when he heard his parents chatting outside, as if it was about himself, and couldn't help peeking through the crack in the door.

At this time, Li's father and mother were sitting at the dinner table, and Li's father was holding a glass of wine, frowning and looking very depressed.

"you, do you think Xiaole is making a serious movie?" Father Li shook his head and said: "The old Wang family child told him, what kind of vulgar movie is "Crazy Stone" that Xiaole filmed this time, and other film critics have said that it is very problematic, they are all free to invite people to watch, it can't be that the tickets can't be sold, right?" ”

"Lao Li, I also feel that I don't know the bottom of my heart, you know what Xiaole does in Zhongying, you still say that the place is good, you say that you are on a business trip, just on a business trip for such a time, I don't know what he is doing." Mother Li complained angrily:

"I told you at the beginning, you like movies, you can't take your son, and the industry is unstable, you say that like Xiaole's personality, can he compete with those fancy intestines in the entertainment industry? Look at the girl you sent him to Korea, and he brought it back......"

Father Li shook his head when he heard this, his wife's thoughts are the thoughts of the vast majority of ordinary people, they think that there are many ways to do this in the film and television industry, but thinking about their boss's complaints, it is indeed useless to make movies in this world.

"He has also embarked on this business, you don't have any of this now, I think Xiaole is so honest, as long as he works hard professionally, he may not be able to be a professional director, it's no problem to make a living behind the scenes, don't worry too much." Father Li spread his hands, feeling that the situation was not as bad as his wife said.

"But, have you thought about it, if he can't get along in this business, what will he do in the future? What can he do in the future? What other good woman would be willing to marry him, Lao Li, I know that you are literate people and have ideals, but you are also a father, and you have to think about your son's future. Mother Li's mother tongue is serious and authentic.

"...... in the future" Hearing this word, Father Li was also stunned, thinking that he is not also a steel mill worker now? Of course, he also has great ambitions and longing, but now, life is realistic, Father Li was silent for a while, and finally nodded:

"Alas, you're right, I'm still not thoughtful, if Xiaole doesn't improve in this industry, then I'll find a way for him...... Lao Wang has done a good job in running a fund company over there, I'll beg him......"

When Li Xiaole heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sour, "squeak" pushed open the door, and came over with a happy smile and said, "Dad, Mom, hey, today's food is good?" What a day~"

"Just your sweet mouth, aren't these dishes every day?" Mother Li said with a smile.

"Come to Xiaole, you eat more, I've been busy with work recently, and I have to take care of my body~" Father Li groaned and instructed.

"Yes." Li Xiaole nodded warmly in his heart, and said while eating: "Parents, our movie is about to be released, and the premiere will be next month, Mr. Han sent me thirty tickets, let's go watch it together." "On the day of the premiere, of course he had to go to see it as a director, and it was one of his favorite parts of making a movie.

"Your movie is ready to sell tickets!?" Father Li said with surprise on his face.

"Of course, movies don't sell tickets, what is it called." Li Xiaole bit a piece of sweet and sour fish, and turned his head to Li's mother and said: "But the tickets are a bit much, I don't have so many friends, Mom, you can also call all the relatives and friends you know, I'm afraid that not many people will come to see that day, and I have the bottom of my heart to find more people." ”

"Okay~ What's wrong with this, your mother can't do anything else, this face is still there." Mother Li smiled from ear to ear.

"You must call Lao Wang's whole family next door, our family relationship is so good with him, and no one can miss him." Li Xiaole instructed with a smile.

"Old Wang...... It's a bit difficult, his company is busy, and he probably won't go to a far place. Father Li said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, I'll find a car to pick him up after dinner in the evening." Li Xiaole didn't care about the authenticity.

"Do you have a car? Including the children of uncles and aunts, there should be more than 30 people? Mother Li was surprised.

"How can I have that ability, Mr. Han said haode, he took the first movie." Li Xiaole said a word, and Li's father and mother happily went to call relatives and friends.

After eating, Li Xiaole washed the dishes in the kitchen and wiped his hands, and then called Lei Ting: "Hey, sister Tingting, help me book a car on the day of the premiere, ask for a German-made Manka, you go to check the bus of Bayern Munich Club, it's the same ......"

At this time, Lei Ting was sitting in a black car, parked on the side of the road and searching for various data analysis about "Crazy Stone" with a laptop.

"This car costs 2 million yuan, and the company's liquidity is not much, are you sure you want to buy it?"

"Buy it, I'll use the car to pick up my parents to go to the movies in the future, I want to hire a driver, in the long run, you can withdraw the money from Apple stock."

"Apple stock?" Lei Ting felt a little headache when she heard this word, she bought her share directly after being hit by a big drop last time, and then she never took care of it again, then she remembered, and when she looked at it again, she was surprised to find that Apple's stock price had risen from 12.98 to 18.72, an increase of nearly 50%!!

They bought 10 million on 13.98, and now even if you don't count the cost, the money you make from the shares alone is enough to buy a German Manka......

"!" Lei Ting slapped the steering wheel with her hand with some annoyance, and said to herself: "This little bastard weishenme is right every time......"

After determining that the film schedule was on December 23, and the date of "Hero" was indeed said correctly by Li Xiaole, Han Sanpin no longer had any doubts about Li Xiaole's accurate intelligence investigation ability, and began to completely delegate power to let him do the theater film scheduling.

To Han Sanpin's surprise, Li Xiaole did not open his mouth as imagined and wanted to premiere in many provinces and cities across the country at the same time, but only proposed to reflect at the municipal level in twelve theaters in Chu and Zhejiang provinces.

Only 24 sets of copies were made, which was much less than Han Sanpin's expectations.

What Li Xiaole proposed was not a "simultaneous large-scale" release, but a focus on time-based release, first in Chu and Zhejiang provinces, to test the water, and then decide on Jihua in the future.

China Film Group also naturally accepted the promotion of "Crazy Stone", although it did not have the funds to buy print and soft advertising, let alone the strength of "Hero" to buy advertising promotion in prime time for the first time in TV for the first time.

However, because China Film owns the equity of major theaters, it has the advantage of policy that it can directly launch movie pre-roll advertisements, which also ensures that the publicity effect will not be weaker than ordinary domestic films during this time.

During this time, "Crazy Stone" stopped the free trial, and those who have watched the movie, y Jin spread the good reputation of the movie through blogs, QQ groups, and even campus BBS.

Although the diffusion is limited, it has formed a small group of die-hard fans, especially the students of the two major acting schools of China Opera and Beijing Film, who have spread rumors on campus that "Crazy Stone" is the pioneering work of black comedy in the mainland.

And Li Xiaole himself asked Ning Hao to pick out the obvious "mistakes and flaws" in their movies and write posts on the BBS of Chinese Opera and Beiying, so that these young people of the academic school can discuss freely.
