Chapter 115: Box Office (Eight Watches)

(ahem...... Good night! )

The movie has been played, but few audiences in the theater left their seats immediately, many audiences knew or didn't know each other, because most of the people watching the movie were young people, so they chatted nearby, just because there were too many holes buried by Xu in the plot, and many people didn't care when they watched it.

Suddenly, there are still some doubts in my mind, there are too many hidden story clues in the movie, often I don't pay attention to it in the front, and I will feel that I have missed something key in the back. Sometimes you pay attention to the front and suddenly use a clue in the storyline, and you think, "Wow, so ingenious, so amazing!" ”

Coupled with the kind of heartfelt laughter, many people have a feeling that they can't enjoy watching it once!

However, Hu Yifei had already left early with his family before the subtitles were released.

On the second day, the headlines of the media entertainment section were almost entirely occupied by "Crazy Stone".

Praise, praise, praise!

Even if it is released online, it perfectly continues the good reputation when it was screened. There are really good movies, and there are also various evaluations on the Internet, "laughing until my stomach hurts", "laughing until I cough", "the whole audience is full of laughs", "dense laughs", "exquisite structure", "like dominoes", "incredible serial set", "a little blink, you neglect an important plot", "it's so funny, I thought Hu Yifei was the protagonist, but I didn't expect him to play a lame international thief in his first movie"......

Keywords, "funny", "wonderful", "Hu Yifei"......

Reviews like that are everywhere.

There are also exaggerations to say that he fell off the chair laughing.

These eager discussions made those audiences who were still skeptical unable to bear it. But there is still an obstacle, "Watching a movie? Don't be funny, what about SARS? ”

"SARS has long passed, don't always take SARS as a thing."

If SARS is still an excuse, then when the audience saw the TV set of the big men wearing funny T-shirts with the words "I have killed the virus, please watch it with confidence", they no longer had any worries and poured into the movie theater.

For a while, the movie-watching was like a tide!

In some places, on weekend nights, there are queues. This kind of picture actually appeared in a domestic small-budget movie? It's incredible.

The publicity and distribution team led by Min Suyuan was not idle, collecting information similar to queuing everywhere, taking photos and publishing them everywhere. also asked the TV station to go to the theater to conduct interviews, and grabbed a group of viewers who just came out of the theater, "Have you watched "Crazy Stone", how do you feel? ”

"It's so good-looking, Hu Yifei is so handsome. It's a pity that he hacked himself, but he entertained us. So impressed. "Khan, this is Hu Yifei's girl fan.

The reporter changed to a middle-aged man, "I don't like Hollywood movies very much, and I have always supported domestic films, but unfortunately domestic movies have been disappointing over the years." I haven't seen such a wonderful domestic movie for a long time until I saw this one. Wonderful, so wonderful! I can't believe it at all, this is a nineteen-year-old director. China needs these young directors, let there be more young directors. "Okay, are you sure it wasn't Hu Yifei who invited you.

……

Because the current domestic theater box office statistics have not been fully connected to the Internet as in later generations, it is more troublesome to count the box office. But the theater manager invariably added screenings to "Crazy Stone". The box office is a number, and it may not be possible to know everything yet, but the attendance rate is real.

The first-day box office was probably more than three times that of "Pirates of the Caribbean", which is real money.

On the second day, the number of films increased sharply to 45%, and on the third day, it increased again, soaring directly to 55% of the share, although it is not comparable to the nearly 100% share when "Hero" was released, it is also extremely amazing. You must know that there is also a Hollywood blockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean" with a good reputation in the same period.

But because of the word-of-mouth of "Crazy Stone", after more than a month of savings and such a long time of hype, there was also a major event involving a quarrel between half of the big names in the entertainment industry, which made the movie burst of attention. Now it's just the normal spread of word-of-mouth, and theaters have benefited greatly. Seeing the increase in attendance, how can the theater hold.

This is completely different from the strong distributor when "Hero" was announced, but now it is a decision made by the theater company independently.

That's what makes it even more commendable.

"Small-cost domestic films shook Hollywood blockbusters, but it turned out to be a big victory for small-cost domestic films! 》

Three days after the weekend, a crazy number appeared on the headlines of all entertainment editions.

The box office of 20.05 million in the first weekend stimulated everyone's attention. Last year's "Hero" was released, and the momentum was huge. A gathering of superstars, premieres in the Great Hall of the People and other gimmicks are full of fun. It has also set a box office record for domestic films in recent years, with a box office of more than 70 million in the first week, and a box office of 80 million in eight days of release. It is said that in the first eight days, the box office figure was increasing by almost 10 million every day.

On the other hand, the box office of "Crazy Stone" was only 4.5 million on Friday, 8.3 million on Saturday, and 7.25 million yuan on Sunday. The cumulative revenue in three days was 20.05 million yuan at the box office!

This is the most authentic box office feedback of the word-of-mouth effect.

And the investment in "Hero" is 30 million US dollars, and if you carefully calculate the investment cost of "Crazy Stone", including the publicity, it is only Wu Baiwu who has collected tens of thousands. Now, within three days, it has recovered nearly four times the cost of the box office.

For a moment, the whole circle was alarmed.

After all, not all companies have the ability to shoot blockbusters with an investment of $30 million like "Hero", and not all companies have a big director like Zhang Yimou. The success of "Hero" has no reference significance for small film companies. But "Crazy Stone" is completely different, this is a victory for small-budget films, as long as you make small-budget comedies with heart, does it mean that the spring of domestic films is coming?

Hu Yifei can't control other movies.

At this time, even if God came, it could not stop his family film industry from expanding its publicity and screening scale again to make more profits.

In the second week, "Pirates of the Caribbean" was oppressed to a two-percent share, "Crazy Stone" occupied nearly seven or eight shares, and the other two shares were allocated by other domestic films.

This is also the first full release week of "Crazy Stone".

The family film company finally opened up its costs and invested money in an indiscriminate propaganda, and the name of the film spread throughout most of China.

Hu Yifei also began to run between major cities across the country with the crew, and this time he ran publicity, and the number of people who came increased significantly. Even Xu Zheng, who was filming "Li Wei as an Official 2", put down the crew and ran to help with publicity.

It's so hot, everyone is smiling when they are asked.

Hu Yifei was really noticed as a director this time, and this nineteen-year-old genius director has become a frequent guest on entertainment shows.

The sales of the album have also increased significantly, breaking one million copies. In these years, if there is such an album sales, it is comparable to Zhou Capricorn.

However, Hu Yifei was not so enthusiastic about promoting himself, and he gave the opportunity to others. As long as there are works, he has the opportunity to stand out.
