At the end of 2004, the entire company was mobilized for one thing, that is, for the filming of the company's annual drama "Crazy Stone".

The resources of the entire company are concentrated in Yucheng, and for the company's new play, Gao Yan has devoted himself to it, which has blocked all the company, which is different from the original "Immortality".

Although they are all known as low-cost movies, the cost of "Immortality" is already low to the point that it is unprecedented, 100,000 yuan is the cost of all the filming with promotional tapes, but although the cost of "Crazy Stone" is very low, it is not less than 5 million, and the entire Xingchen Entertainment has a net worth of about 10 million, of which 3 million was invested in the filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and 5 million was invested in "Immortality", and the remaining liquidity is only 2 million. Two million funds looks like a lot, but basically nothing is enough, especially to make movies, "Crazy Stone" is already a low-budget movie, but it still needs five million, "Immortality" is just a miracle, just a legend, and the legend is a miracle that is destined to be impossible to copy.

So Gao Yan is also gambling this time, betting that "Crazy Stone" can succeed, betting that Wang Zhengfei's script can become popular, betting that they can succeed this time and earn back with interest.

Although he is gambling, he will not pin all this on the will of God, the will of God is the most unreliable thing, he can only do the best he can, so that he will not regret it in the future, even if he fails, he has done his best, there is nothing to regret.

With Gao Yan's full help from Xingchen Entertainment, Ning Hao's filming of "Crazy Stone" is much better than in his previous life, although he was funded by Liu Zhihua in his previous life, but at that time, Liu Zhihua's funded movie was more than just a movie "Crazy Stone", it is impossible to put all his energy here, how can it be compared to Xingchen Entertainment's efforts to help the whole company.

Therefore, "Crazy Stone" was completed smoothly and finally at the end of the year, in the aspect of the Radio and Television Bureau, which Wang Zhengfei was most worried about, he didn't encounter any difficulties in the end, but just cut a few knives as if it was a routine matter, which made Wang Zhengfei puzzled, and asked Gao Yan how to solve it, Gao Yan also looked like a Buddha said that he couldn't say it, and Wang Zhengfei's angry teeth were itchy.

In the end, after "Crazy Stone" was approved, it was released during the Spring Festival, originally Gao Yan and Wang Zhengfei meant that it was best to release it in January, although it was said that there was still some time before the Spring Festival schedule in January, but it was better than the Spring Festival during the Spring Festival and those blockbusters, the blockbusters of the Spring Festival schedule in 05 were gathered, which was basically not inferior to the previous year, and it was not easy to kill a way out of these giant films, including strong films such as "Hancheng Raiders", as well as "Mandarin Duck Butterfly", "Lover's Knot", "Beauty Still" and a large number of movies such as "Net Love" and "Love Winner" have landed.

Compared with these movies, when "Crazy", which only invested five million, it can really be said that it was just a small character.

But since it's been placed in the Spring Festival stalls, there's nothing to be done.

Finally came to the day of the premiere, "Crazy Stone" didn't do anything grand premiere or anything in order to save costs, and it didn't save plots such as walking the red carpet.

Wang Zhengfei and Ning Hao and a series of main creators arrived at the theater early, whether they can be recognized by the audience is a matter of one move, Wang Zhengfei also wore a pair of sunglasses, sat quietly in the cinema, did not say much, just quietly began to appreciate the story, although it is not the first time to watch this movie, but Wang Zhengfei is still looking forward to it, even more than before.

Although Wang Zhengfei is the author, and he has read the original book, it can basically be said that he is familiar with various plots, but he is still looking forward to it and nervous, not to mention other people.

This time, "Crazy Stone" did not advertise with great fanfare, because there was basically no funding, and the two million funds could not be invested, and it could not make a splash, so it was simply only one highlight, that is, Wang Zhengfei's third script after "Imperone" and "Myth", and used this as a gimmick to hype, Ning Hao, Guo Tao, Huang Bo, etc. have no opinion on this, and they also know that their fame is basically not enough to attract audiences into the cinema. really needs Wang Zhengfei's fame, and they are confident, this movie is definitely a classic in comedies, although the cost is not high, but who said that comedies should have a high cost, look at movies like "Immortality", which are known as science fiction films, can be shot at such a cheap cost, let alone their comedies.

So they believe that it doesn't matter if the audience doesn't enter the cinema, as long as they enter the cinema, they will inevitably be attracted, and then the movie will be a great success, so those leading actors and Ning Hao have no opinions.

There is a mess in the cinema, all discussing what is good about this movie, just relying on Wang Zhengfei's name is enough to attract a lot of attention, now Wang Zhengfei has so many die-hard fans, let's just say that the last time "Immortality" also cultivated a lot of fans, many people still have a strong logical thinking surname in Wang Zhengfei's "Immortality", if the biggest highlight in "Immortality" is, it is undoubtedly a strong logical surname, all kinds of problems and various explanations, has deeply attracted their attention, although this time it is not starring Wang Zhengfei, but Wang Zhengfei is the screenwriter of the whole film, basically leading the development direction of the story, it can also be said that this is also Wang Zhengfei's work.

After a while, the movie began, the lights began to dim, and the noise around them finally faded away.

Wang Zhengfei quietly began to enjoy the movie, at first it was still the same old rules, the logo of the Radio and Television Bureau, followed by the logo of Xingchen Entertainment, this is the second time that the logo designed by Wang Zhengfei has appeared on the movie.

At the beginning of the movie, he was in the hospital, Bao Shihong had always had problems with his prostate, so he saw a doctor in the hospital, and this doctor was director Ning Hao's own cameo in the film.

The plot of the next few minutes gives people a bland feeling, yes, it's very bland, it's nothing more than some trivial things in life, and these things can be encountered by everyone in ordinary times, what can't be paid, public institutions are going to go bankrupt, basically it's very common, this kind of thing can only be said to be a little sad, and not ridiculous.

This makes the audience who are ready to watch jokes at the beginning a little uncomfortable, this is the biggest difference between "Crazy Stone" and previous Hong Kong comedies, the traces of the previous Hong Kong comedy are too obvious, it has been obvious to the point of contrived, the characters have to make some funny actions and say some NC words, in order to make the audience smile slightly, the characteristic is that the characters in the film are obviously stupid like pigs, but they are still unconscious, and the overall IQ level of the characters in the world in the story is lowered.

But "Crazy Stone" is different, although it is also a comedy, and it also makes people laugh with the stories of the characters, but they don't deliberately do these things, just like the characters in reality, although sometimes they will do something ridiculous or hilarious, but it is all inadvertently and unintentionally done, and no one will do this in reality.

Therefore, the jokes of "Crazy Stone" feel very close to the audience, and I feel that this is a funny thing that will happen in reality, rather than the surreal plot of the comedy films of Hong Kong films in the past, which only existed in the director's imagination, and the director thought it was funny, but in fact, it was very nc.

Although it was a few minutes of dullness at first, things soon took a dramatic turn, and a piece of jade was found in the dirty toilet that had been demolished.

Then Xie Qianli actually planned to open a jade exhibition, which made the audience start to be surprised, and this finally began to have a bit of a dramatic effect, you know, because the first few minutes were too bland plot, so the audience subconsciously regarded the things on the screen as their own things, and if someone around them wanted to hold a jade exhibition, would it be surprising.

After the story really unfolded, the joke finally appeared, the legendary joke, the audience was waiting a little guilty, the previous plot was a little too serious, either bankrupt, or unable to pay wages, and then there was the plot of the Hong Kong thief invited by the bald boss Xu Zheng to steal jade, all of which looked like watching a feature film rather than watching a comedy.

The story unfolds, Xie Xiaomeng met the girl Jingjing played by He Zhuoyan on the ropeway, and he loved her very much, and after praising her, he didn't get Jingjing's good face.

In order to soak in the beauty, Xie Xiaomeng pretended to be injured in a car crash to ask his father Xie Qianli for money, and Xie Qianli gave him money in desperation.

This plot made many viewers in the cinema secretly curse shameless.

But then they turned into laughter, because when Xie Xiaomeng was in the toilet, he bragged to his friends about how powerful he was, so he didn't care that his father cheated the money, but coincidentally, next to the toilet was Xie Xiaomeng's father, Xie Qianli, Xie Qianli knew that his son was actually deceiving himself for this kind of thing, and he was immediately angry and flattened Xie Xiaomeng.

The audience laughed out loud when they watched this episode.
