"Narrative is the most direct artistic embodiment of film, like a thread that threads through beads, connecting scattered shots together. Without narrative, cinema regresses to its most primitive vaudeville state and cannot become an independent art. Narrative is arguably the most expressive and charismatic of all the elements of a film. ”

Li Xiangshu, vice president and director of the directing department of Beijia Film Academy, said eloquently in an interview with reporters: "Tan Zhang's new film not only shows the audience the living state of the little people outside everyone's sight, but also adopts a non-linear structure of multiple clues interspersed with narratives. ”

"As we talk about in editing, linear editing and non-linear editing, he breaks the usual order of time and space, and makes the film full of suspense again. Whether it is in terms of narrative structure or expression, it is very personal, which caters to the aesthetic needs of people at the moment and injects fresh blood into the development of the film industry. ”

"I think this is already a mature black humor comedy film, and as a low-budget commercial production, the significance of this film to Chinese films may occupy a very important position." Li Xiangshu gave Tan Zhang's movie a very high praise.

"To put it mildly, it brings hope to this audience and makes everyone feel that Chinese films also have good commercial production. At the very least, Stone has pioneered a whole new style of cinema, in his own words, multi-line narrative films. ”

Finally, the reporter asked: "If you rate Tan Zhang's graduation work, if you give it a full score of 100, how many points will you score?" ”

Li Xiangshu pushed his glasses and said with a smile: "As a graduation work." It must be a perfect score, and there is not a single student in the history of our film school who has not graduated. can make such a mature, exciting, and own style of film. If you simply compare it with other domestic movies, I give it a score of 85. The 15 points deducted are because the movie is not deep enough in humanistic care. ”

At the end, Li Xiangshu added: "Tan Zhang is the most outstanding student of the directing department of our film academy in the new millennium, and I believe that he will bring a revolution to Chinese cinema in the future." He has the talent and thinking of a director, and he does not have the humanistic shackles of the fifth generation of directors and the current new generation of directors, and I am optimistic about his directorial path. ”

Yesterday I was proud of my alma mater, and today my alma mater is proud of me.

This is what every school wants students to do, and now Zhang Tan. It is enough for Nortel to be proud of him, and perhaps when he writes books and becomes famous, he will already be proud of him.

In the last three days of September, the box office of "Crazy Stone" went all the way up, earning 28.56 million yuan, setting a new box office record for zero-point games and a domestic non-holiday premiere box office.

Immediately afterwards, this year's National Day Golden Week was ushered in.

A seven-day holiday with high box office hopes.

Huayi Brothers' publicity work is almost all aimed at these seven days in major theaters across the country. Including small theaters in small cities, a large number of movie posters have been laid.

Make sure to let the audience walk in and see the poster of Crazy Stone at first glance.

……

There is a national holiday, and Zhang Tan and Susa also give themselves a holiday. I went back to Hechun chic. Everything in the movie is formal, and the publicity work no longer needs Zhang Tan to do anything, and there is nothing to do in Beiya. It's better to go back to your hometown to accompany your parents.

When I got home, my parents called the whole family together. Prepare for a meal.

The women comrades were in charge of cooking in the kitchen, and Zhang Tan hugged her little nephew. Sit on the couch and amuse.

"Wenwen, call uncle!"

Zhang Tan teased the child with a toy, and in April this year, Zhang Yan'an gave birth to a son, named Du Wen. Half-year-old Du Wen is very cute, and he is not afraid of people at all. Although he is not very familiar with Zhang Tan's uncle, he is hugged by Zhang Tan, and he does not cry or make trouble, and occasionally laughs.

Of course, the half-year-old child couldn't speak, so Zhang Tan teased him in a different way: "Come, Wenwen, uncle teaches you to welcome." However, Wenwen didn't know what welcome was at all, and his two fleshy little hands were clenched tightly, not cooperating with Zhang Tan at all.

Brother-in-law Du Xuejiang made three cups of tea and brought it over: "Zhang Tan, when will you and Sasha go back to Beiya?" ”

Zhang Tan said: "If I go back after the National Day, there is nothing to do when I go back to Beiya, the main thing is that she still has to go to graduate school, otherwise I will stay at home for a while." ”

Zhang Quanshun took Du Wen from Zhang Tan's arms: "Wei-Bo Company, Luying Company, you have to take care of it yourself, don't throw everything to others, I will help you watch the studio with your mother, and you don't need to worry about it here." ”

"I have a specialization in the art industry, I am not talented in business, and there is no point in meddling in the company. Wei-Bo is now subject to the development of the domestic network, and the upward momentum is relatively slow, so I just need to inspect it once a month. On Luying's side, isn't there Sister Li to take care of her, Sasha is also working inside, it's just an empty shell, and it's not easy to play with flowers. ”

"Then you don't have any new plans for this novel or movie?" Zhang Quanshun asked.

"Not for the time being, I'm relaxing now, I've just finished making a movie, take a slow, digest the experience." Zhang Tan smiled and asked Du Xuejiang again, "How is my brother-in-law's work in the Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Hospital, I heard my eldest sister say, you are now competing for the attending physician of the Department of Orthopedics?" ”

Du Xuejiang is only a resident now: "Well, the competition is a bit fierce, and I don't necessarily have to be sure." ”

"Invite someone to dinner, find some relationships and give some gifts, and leaders should always contact feelings." Zhang Tan said very vulgarly, "Why don't you ask your dean and the director of the orthopedic department to meet and have a meal together?" I'll dredge it up for you, do I still know some people here in Hexi? ”

Before Du Xuejiang could speak, Zhang Quanshun scolded: "Do you think so!" Your brother-in-law is a doctor, and he went up by stammering people, but if his skills are not good, isn't it harmful! Xiao Jiang, don't listen to Zhang Tan, you are still young, if the above affirms your ability, it is a good thing, if you are not sure, don't worry, first lay a solid foundation, doctors are not other professions. ”

"I know, Dad." Du Xuejiang said steadily.

Zhang Tan was bored, so he lowered his head to tease his little nephew.

Zhang Quanshun said a few more words about the great truth that doctors should have medical ethics, and Du Xuejiang nodded yes.

After a while, Du Xuejiang found an opportunity to divert the topic: "Hey, Zhang Tan, your sister and I haven't had a holiday these days, and I haven't seen your "Crazy Stone" yet, so I'm going to watch a movie tonight." ”

"Yes,"

"I heard from a colleague that movies are so good, you can do it, writing novels is so good, and making movies is still so good."

"So-so, make do." Zhang Tan said modestly.

"How's the box office going?" Du Xuejiang is also a movie layman, dedicated to studying doctors, and pays little attention to entertainment news, and he doesn't know how crazy "Crazy Stone" has been in the past two days.

"In the three days of September, more than 28 million were sold, which exceeded our expectations a lot, and now it depends on how this National Day is, but for the sake of conservatism, selling 100 million should be stable."

"100 million, so much."

Zhang Tan shook his head: "Actually, I don't think it's much, how can I say it, the scale of the domestic film market is still very small." The number of theaters and screens is relatively low, the piracy market is also relatively flooded, and the audience's awareness of going to the cinema to watch movies is not so strong. ”

How much is 100 million, for the current Chinese film market, 100 million is a five-star high difficulty, and only a few movies can break 100 million a year.

After all, there are only more than 1,300 movie theaters in the country, and there are only more than 3,000 screens.

But for Zhang Tan, who has experienced the box office of 3.4 billion in "The Mermaid", 100 million is also a small amount of money. In the future, the scale of the Chinese film market, which almost no one could predict now, will become such a big behemoth, and it is really expected to catch up with North America.

After seven or eight years, if a movie doesn't sell hundreds of millions, it will hit the street.

There are so many bad movies, they can easily be hundreds of millions.

If a stunning comedy movie like "Crazy Stone" is postponed by ten years, it will inevitably be a billion-level volume. It's crazy to be able to sell 100 million units now.

"100 million is enough." Zhang Quanshun has an understanding of the film market, "No domestic film has sold more than 100 million at the box office this year, and the film you shoot is a small cost, 55% of which is distributed to theaters, theaters, funds, and taxes, leaving 45 million profits." Your contract is a box office of more than 100 million, Luying and Huayi Brothers **** open, Luying can divide more than 27 million, which is still less! ”

Zhang Tan shook his head and smiled: "I only earned more than 27 million, counting the surrounding development, I survived 40 million, it is better for me to write novels to make money for a year...... Of course, the box office breaking 100 million is only a conservative estimate, maybe it broke 200 million. ”

……

broke 200 million, this is Zhang Tan's joke, almost no one will believe that "Crazy Stone" can break 200 million box office.

However.

When the box office of the seven-day National Day was counted, everyone, including Zhang Tan himself, was stunned.

On Monday, October 1, "Crazy Stone" hit the box office with a bang of 11 million.

On Tuesday, another city, 10.5 million.

On Wednesday, another city was captured, 12.15 million.

On Thursday, the madness continued, 11.4 million.

On Friday, the box office has been feverish for a week, and on the eighth day of its release today, it is still soaring, 13.4 million.

On Saturday, the numbing box office, 15.5 million, made the box office successfully break 100 million.

On Sunday, it fell slightly, but it still broke 10 million, 11.15 million.

During the entire National Day Golden Week, "Crazy Stone" earned 85.1 million yuan, with a total box office of 112 million yuan. It took nine days to break the 100 million yuan mark, becoming the only domestic film to enter the 100 million yuan club this year.

"'Crazy Stone' sparked madness, and low-budget comedy dominated the National Day."

"Tan Zhang used a phenomenal film to announce that he is advancing from the king of writers to the king of directors."

"Nine days to break 100 million, who can stop the stone from continuing to go crazy!"

"Whether it is writing or directing, Tan Zhang is the most crazy one, and "Crazy Stone" swept away the dark clouds over the heads of Chinese films, bringing a shot in the arm to the audience and practitioners."

CCTV's "News Network" program, in Saturday's report, even spent a full minute introducing the hot image of "Crazy Stone".

"Crazy Stone" is really crazy. (To be continued.) )

PS: The box office calculation of the previous screening was incorrect, and it has been revised to 1.06 million.
