Chapter 296: Breaking the Ground

"A domestic film that broke the earth in 2007, a work of hope that pierced the dawn."

Lao Huang, a well-known domestic film critic, was invited to attend the premiere of the film, and published a film review in the media column the next day.

"I've never seen a comedy movie with such a complex use of lenses, the clues are messy and advanced layer by layer, there is the cunning of the little people, there are exquisite ingenuity and collisions, and multiple clues are intertwined together, creating infinite sparks."

"In the past few years, our Chinese films have been shouting that they must come out of their own characteristics and cater to the tide of commercial films. We have seen several fifth-generation directors who often make blockbusters at a cost of hundreds of millions, but these high-cost movies have attracted overwhelming scolding. ”

"It's not that I don't support domestic films, but I always bring disappointment to the audience, consuming everyone's confidence in domestic films again and again, and creating insincere money-making bad movies again and again, which makes Chinese films completely fall into darkness."

"I didn't expect Tan Zhang's film at first, "Crazy Stone" may just be a crazy circle of money, but after watching the premiere, my whole person is crazy and dizzy, just like a person who is used to eating inferior food, and suddenly eats a delicious hot pot, and my taste buds almost didn't react."

"This is a domestic film?"

"This is a comedy?"

"Yes, this is a domestic comedy, but it is like a lightning bolt that crosses the dark sky of Chinese films, allowing me to see the light that is coming."

"Tan Zhang, a writer who has set countless records, after he brought martial arts to the top, he began to save Chinese cinema again."

Lao Huang's film reviews are too much praised and sensational, which makes people wonder if he took money from the film company and used the money to post so insensitively.

But with the old Huang afterward. All film critics in the mixed film critic circle gave high praise after watching the movie, and some were even more numb than Lao Huang, thinking that Zhang Tan would become the savior of Chinese films.

Media reporters, also in subsequent reports, praised "Crazy Stone" as a flower.

Even if there are a few bad reviews. was also drowned in a sea of praise.

Huayi Brothers spent money on public relations, but it was more of the spontaneous word-of-mouth publicity of others, and those viewers who watched the premiere were interviewed and excitedly said that they had watched a good movie, a super awesome comedy.

"I'll hit your lungs, it's not good to see you slap me in the face!"

"I don't have to say, it's going to be released tomorrow, and I'll watch it again."

"I almost laughed in there. I didn't have a good rest the whole time, so I just giggled there. ”

This sudden perfect explosion of word-of-mouth has opened a good momentum for the upcoming "Crazy Stone". When domestic movies are released, they basically have to hype up and praise how good the movie is, but that kind of fake show can't be compared with the praise of the current stone.

News program of Bei Yan TV. The audience who attended the premiere was interviewed live, and the smiles on the faces of the audience. It's definitely sincere, and it's obvious at a glance that it's their heartfelt smile and heartfelt compliment.

Gao Jun, the CEO of the Forbidden City Cinema Company and one of the three musketeers of Chinese film distribution, told reporters: "We participated in the film viewing party a month ago. At that time, I said that this movie was released, and we in the Forbidden City did our best to arrange the film, even if no one watched it, because it would be a pity for the audience to miss this movie. ”

The manager of UME Cinema said in an interview: "We have two screenings here, and the results are very good. Later, many viewers asked when we would see the movie, which made us have great expectations for the box office of "Crazy Stone", and we are already planning to open a zero point show. ”

The zero o'clock show refers to the screening at 0:00 on the premiere day, and most theaters are open during the day and close at 10 o'clock in the evening. Only some movies that have attracted a lot of attention will open a zero-point show in some large movie theaters to allow the audience to watch the movie in advance.

In North America, the zero-point field is already a must-have project for blockbusters, and the domestic zero-point field has only gradually emerged in the past few years, and it is all a small fight, and there may only be a few or dozens of theaters in big cities, opening two or three halls.

At present, there is a record of zero-point field data, which is "Steamed Bun Blood" in 2005, which sold 800,000 yuan at the box office.

The screening of "Crazy Stone" was very good, and the attention was also high, so more than 70 large theaters decided to open a zero-point theater.

……

"Hey, hey, Zhang Tan, you can still sleep, I'm so nervous now, I'm afraid that our movie won't sell tickets." It's already eleven o'clock, and Susa, who has finished taking a shower, doesn't feel a little sleepy, "Otherwise, let's go to the zero point venue to buy tickets and see how many people will come to see the movie." ”

Contrary to Susa's nervousness, Zhang Tan, who fought three hundred rounds an hour ago, was already sleepy: "Sleep, Sasha, it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, it's useless to be nervous." ”

"Hey, this is your first film to direct, aren't you worried about the box office at all?"

"I'm a little worried, but I've done everything I need to do, it's useless to worry, let's sleep well."

"No, let's go to the premiere." Susa took Zhang Tan's hand and wanted to pull Zhang Tan up from the bed.

Zhang Tan couldn't afford to lie down: "I won't go, do you know how many times I've watched "Crazy Stone", the few days I edited, I stared at the camera every day, and then it was the Nortel exchange meeting, and it was the premiere, I was almost numb to watch. ”

If the movie is Zhang Tan's own original, he promises that he can't sleep like a chicken blood, and he is scared. But in the last life, the film was market-tested. In that year, as soon as the stone came out, it can be said that it immediately became popular throughout 2006, making almost all the leading actors in it popular.

The original version of the stone, the investment is very small, only three million, the cast is not only Xu Zheng who made a cameo, but also the starring Guo Tao is a little famous, and the others are all unknown, and they have to borrow the fame of the investor Andy Lau when they are promoted.

The result was a good box office result.

The word-of-mouth is even more rebellious, so that everyone was talking about stones that year, and then stones became a work that domestic movies can't avoid, and there will always be various films that are compared with stones.

If there is a little more publicity, the results will inevitably multiply several times.

So Zhang Tan was not so excited and not so worried. There was not much tension in the end. There are quite successes and failures like floating clouds, and honor and disgrace are indifferent. Just as he never gets carried away because he writes a novel and becomes famous, as an adult, he knows exactly who he is.

He stood on the shoulders of giants to have his current height. This giant is a fifteen-year memory of the previous life.

It can't be said that there is no credit for this, the re-creation of novels, songs, and movies are all his own efforts, but he has borrowed more.

Joy is enough.

"Sleep, don't you have to go to class tomorrow, you can't sleep well. The top two panda eyes, how ugly. Zhang Tan turned over and continued to sleep.

Susa didn't give up: "Go, go, if I don't go to the cinema tonight, I won't be able to fall asleep...... If you want to sleep, bring a blanket and go to the cinema to sleep. ”

Helpless.

Zhang Tan is always too soft-hearted. I couldn't bear to refuse: "If you can unlock a new position in the future, I will accompany you to the cinema tonight." ”

Susa covered her forehead. A flush flew up on his face: "Why do you always associate everything with this kind of thing?" ”

"Haven't you heard a saying that men are animals who think with their lower bodies, although I don't completely agree, but most of the time there is some truth." Zhang Tan thought that he could try some new styles in the future. The drowsiness dissipated immediately.

After a while, Susa nodded shyly: "Okay, I promise you." ”

"Oh yes!" Zhang Tan clenched his hands into fists, quickly got out of bed, dressed and put on his shoes, and then said. "Let's go, for the sake of sexual happiness in the future, go to the cinema for inspection!"

"You pervert!" Susa despises Zhang Tan on her lips, but in fact, she has a lot of expectations in her heart.

Zhang Tan also wanted to try the positions she begged for before, but the girl's reserve made her have a lot of resistance to these positions, and now she is just pushing the boat along the river.

Hand in hand, the two went downstairs.

Soon I drove to the cinema, which was a UME cinema closer to home, which happened to have a zero point show. As soon as I entered the cinema, I saw a long line at the ticket office.

"You wait here, I'll go and get a ticket in line." Zhang Tan said.

"Oh." Susa opened the bag, took out a hundred yuan from the bag, and handed it to Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan is very rich, he has made a lot of money writing books in recent years, most of the deposits are in the company's accounts, and his private account also has more than 10 million deposits. In line with the principle that wealth is not exposed, six or seven cards are divided equally, and usually uses an ICBC credit card to consume, in which more than one million is saved, and the supplementary card is given to Susa.

He is a very chic person, and he usually doesn't bring money when he goes out, so Susa pays for the change.

Take the money and line up to buy tickets.

Looking at the team before and after, Zhang Tan is still very satisfied, there are still these people in the middle of the night, and they may only come for "Crazy Stone". There are so many people patronizing the zero point venue, can no one watch it after the release, the box office should be safe.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a commotion at the ticket office.

"What, no tickets? Not really! The young man who bought the ticket said loudly.

The ticket seller shook his head: "I'm sorry, our theater has opened three halls tonight, and the tickets are all sold out." ”

"So many people are coming to see it, isn't it?" The young man complained, and then said, "Can you open another hall, you see there are so many people queuing behind me." ”

The people behind the young man echoed: "Yes, let's open another hall." ”

"We're all here, we can't let us go back without seeing the movie."

"Do me a favor, let's open another hall!"

Seeing so many people waiting, the conductor also hesitated: "Okay, I'll call and ask our manager." ”

After the phone was connected, I only heard the conductor say: "Manager, there are a lot of people watching movies tonight, the tickets for the three halls are sold out, and there are still people who want to buy tickets, is it possible to open another hall...... How many people? There were probably forty or fifty more people, and some people came in...... Let's open two more halls, okay. ”

The manager arranged to open two more halls, and finally solved everyone's dissatisfaction and queued up with peace of mind.

At this time, Susa suddenly came over and pulled Zhang Tan's sleeve: "Let's go, let's go back." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Tan was inexplicable.

Susa didn't want her and Zhang Tan to be recognized, so she pulled Zhang Tan away, and then said, "I'm just coming to see how many people will come to see the zero point field and how the attendance rate is." Now I already know that the three halls are sold out, and there are still so many people waiting, I know in my heart, I don't need to buy tickets to see it. ”

It's just right not to look at it, and Zhang Tan doesn't want to watch it again: "Okay, let's find a place to eat and go back." (To be continued.) )
