15 days after the release of the summer movie, "Crazy Stone" won 1.5 billion box office, officially surpassing "Flamewalkers", and the total box office jumped to the first place in the summer file.

At this time, the box office strength of "Flamewalkers" has passed, and the box office is more than 10 million per day on weekdays.

The Maoyan platform predicts that the final box office of "Flamewalker" is 1.6 billion, and it has lost the possibility of competing for the summer box crown.

The total box office of "Halfway Marry" in 15 days can reach 1 billion, and the Maoyan platform predicts that the final box office will be 1.1 billion.

In comparison, the potential of "Crazy Stone" is quite terrifying.

With the release of the score of Bean Sprouts.com, the super high score of 8.7 points added another fire to this movie.

Originally, the high evaluation of film critics has made "Crazy Stone" form a good reputation.

Now that the bean sprouts network score has been released, it is even more numerical to give this movie a standardized evaluation.

8.7 points, which is enough to go down in film history.

Even if it is placed in the world's century-old film history, this score can be included in the Top200 ranks.

After this score came out, it once again confirmed Zhou Chengxiang's professionalism in the film criticism industry.

This movie can indeed compete for three in mainland comedies.

Just such a movie, the other two movies of the same period, what to compare?

The ratings of "Flamewalker" and "Halfway Marry" have been shown.

The former has a score of 6.9 and the latter has a score of 7.3.

Just look at the ratings of these two movies, in fact, they are not low, 6 points pass, 7 points are considered good.

According to the scoring standard of Bean Sprouts.com, a 7-point movie is definitely a movie that can be watched.

Therefore, there is no problem with the quality of "Halfway Marry".

Although it is not Li Kosin's best film, it is also at his normal level.

In this summer's file, the problem is not "Halfway Marry", but "Crazy Stone".

It's not that "Halfway Marry" was not well filmed, but "Crazy Stone" was filmed too well.

Due to the word-of-mouth effect, "Crazy Stone" reached the peak of the single-day box office on the ninth day of its release, doubling the opponent.

Prior to this, Fanfan Entertainment was still desperately publicizing, wanting to increase the box office of "Halfway Marry", compete for the film schedule, and want to pull back the decline.

It's just, of course, "Crazy Stone" cut a single-day box office of 151 million.

Fanfan Entertainment knows that there is nothing to fight about.

If the gap is less than 20%, you can also spend money to publicize and mobilize PUA fans to buy tickets, but when the gap is doubled, it is no longer possible to solve it by throwing money.

Therefore, from the ninth day, Fanfan Entertainment withdrew its publicity funds and gave up this box office war.

Because there is nothing to compare with, the gap behind will only get bigger and bigger, and it will not be able to recover a little.

Of course.

Fanfan Entertainment did not lose money on the movie "Halfway Marry".

With an investment of 150 million, the box office can be recouped as long as it reaches 450 million.

And the final box office of "Halfway Marry" will be around 1.1 billion.

If you don't look at the competitors, the film is clearly a success.

Therefore.

When the total box office of "Halfway Marry" exceeded 1 billion, Li Kexin's crew also held a celebration to celebrate the box office of the movie breaking 1 billion, and at the same time thanked the audience for their support.

on the event.

Li Kexin, who had grown a little white hair, came to the stage and, together with the two leading actors, smashed the glass props with a hammer that read 1 billion box office.

The audience applauded and congratulated.

Then, Li Kexin took the microphone and began to speak:

"Thank you to the fans, media friends, and everyone for coming.

"Today is the 1 billion box office celebration of "Halfway Marriage", ......"

After speaking.

The reporter began to ask: "Director Li, are you satisfied with the results of "Halfway Marry"? ”

Li Kexin: "Of course I am satisfied, the box office results are in line with my expectations. ”

In fact, industry insiders' predictions for this movie were right.

Before its release, industry insiders generally believed that the box office of this movie was 1 billion, and looking at the current box office trend, the final box office was indeed 1.1 billion.

It can be seen that the industry's prediction for this movie is accurate.

is not only "Halfway Marry", in fact, the predictions of industry insiders for "Flamewalker" are not too much.

It is generally believed that the final box office of "Blazewalkers" will be between 1.5 billion and 2 billion.

And the final box office of "Flamewalkers" is indeed 1.6 billion.

Throughout the summer, the only abnormal movie was actually "Crazy Stone".

With an investment of 80 million, he dared to sign a box office guarantee of 2 billion, and the early box office results only ranked third, and even lowered the schedule of "Crazy Stone" for a time.

Fortunately, Penguin Video is tied to the contract, and there are no other movies to push, so it bites and bites the film.

made the minimum schedule of "Crazy Stone" only drop to 22%, and then it went all the way up.

It is now in theaters for 15 days.

The film schedule of "Flamewalkers" has dropped to 12%, with a single-day box office of about 15 million.

The film schedule of "Halfway Marriage" dropped to 9%, and the single-day box office was only 10 million.

The box office of "Crazy Stone" has risen to 30%, and the single-day box office on weekdays has remained at 40 million.

The schedule of the three movies added up has dropped a lot.

Because the second batch of movies in the summer will be released one after another, most of the scheduled films need to be eaten.

On the Maoyan platform, it is predicted that the final box office of "Crazy Stone" has become 2.3 billion.

If it is postponed after a month of release, the final box office will be even higher.

In comparison, "Halfway Marrying" has no ability to compete with "Crazy Stone", not at all.

Li Kexin has worked in the film industry for more than 30 years, and has participated in not 100 but 80 films.

So, he actually saw it very openly.

Moreover, "Halfway Marry" itself is a success.

It's just that reporters want to make big news, so when they ask questions, they always turn to tricky questions:

"Director Li, there is another comedy in the summer file, and the box office is much higher than "Halfway Marry", what do you think about this?"

Li Kexin: "It's okay, just say it's "Crazy Stone". I loved this movie so much that I went to see it with my children during the summer vacation. ”

Reporter: "What do you think of "Crazy Stone"? ”

Li Kexin: "An excellent comedy movie, I appreciate it very much, and I also recommend that audiences who like comedy movies go and watch it, and they will not be disappointed." ”

Reporter: "Director Li is worthy of being an old artist with both virtue and art. However, "Halfway Marrying" and "Crazy Stone" have always been competitors before their release, and there are even a lot of remarks about stepping on one and the other, what do you think about this? ”

Li Kexin: "I'm just a director, and it's my job to shoot the scene well. I'm not in charge of the rest. ”

What he meant was that he actually wanted to say that the announcement was not in his hands, but he didn't want to say it too bluntly.

Reporter: "So which of the two movies do you think is better, "Halfway Marry" and "Crazy Stone"? ”

It's a tricky question, and it's meant to ask the director of one of the films.

If the director is a little short-tempered, he may drop the microphone on the spot.

Li Kexin smiled and said: "You guys, you always want to make some big news." Since you have to ask, I can also admit frankly that from the audience's point of view, "Crazy Stone" is better. ”

If he had heard this question 10 days ago, he would not have dared to answer it like this.

Because at that time, the box office of "Halfway Marry" had not yet settled.

Now that the box office is a foregone conclusion, admission will not affect the result.

When the reporter heard this answer, his eyes began to glow:

"So, you admit that in terms of directing, you are not as good as Fang Xing, right?"

Li Kexin smiled: "Is it better than a person after the movie?" Do you have to drive me into a corner? However, I don't have much ability, but I have an open-minded temperament.

"But how can you compare it to people? Even if it is the same director, the works of different periods have different ratings and styles. What criteria should be used for comparison? ”

The reporter put it another way: "Then what do you think of Fang Xing, the director?" ”

Li Kexin: "Very talented, able to switch from TV series to film, and so successful, I admire it. I hope Fang Xing can make more movies, make more good movies, and strive to become a leader of the new generation of directors. ”

In response to questions from journalists.

Li Koxin almost conceded defeat to "Crazy Stone".

This made many Zhu Yiting's fans in the audience very dissatisfied.

Because the director admits that "Halfway Marry" is not as good as "Crazy Stone", it is equivalent to indirectly admitting that Zhu Yiting is not as good as Fang Xing.

If you compare the male protagonist's counterpoint, it is that Zhu Yiting is not as good as Guo Shi.

This group of fans, when they think of their idol, Zhu Yiting, one of the top twin stars in the film industry, is not as good as the middle-aged greasy and foolish Guo Shi.

This caused them to break their defenses on the spot, and even booed the stage several times.

If it weren't for the security guards, there might have been fans throwing mineral water bottles on stage.

Subsequently.

The reporter asked about the two leading actors, Zhu Yiting and Liu Wenwen.

Reporter: "Do you agree with Director Li's opinion?" ”

The director said so.

Zhu Yiting, as the leading actor, has no way to refute it at all.

If he refutes it, it proves that he and the director have a disagreement.

There is a disagreement between the actor and the director, which is not a good impression for the actor.

If this impression becomes the consensus of the film industry, which director will dare to use such an actor in the future.

Therefore, Zhu Yiting can only admit stubbornly: "I trust Director Li very much, and I will continue to work hard, strive to improve my acting skills, and give the audience a better answer for the fans." ”

This answer is very official, so that the reporter can't find any slots.

It's just that, in addition to the fans, everyone can hear that Zhu Yiting is talking about the scene, and he can't help it.

……

Since "Crazy Stone" was released for 15 days, the single-day box office still has 40 million.

This box office trend is very good.

Moreover, Penguin Pictures plans to fight for the postponement of the film, so it is necessary to continue to promote it.

The roadshow never stopped.

Li Kexin answered the reporter's interview, and it was on the hot search that night.

The next day.

Fang Xing was also questioned by reporters, asking about the content of the interview with director Li Kexin.

Reporter: "Fang Xing, have you watched the interview news of director Li Kexin?" ”

Fang Xing shook his head: "If you don't have time to watch, the roadshow hasn't stopped." ”

Reporter: "Director Li Kexin said in an interview that "Crazy Stone" is better than "Halfway Marry". What do you think about this? ”

Fang Xing was stunned for a moment, and didn't dare to answer positively: "Is there this news?" I don't know. ”

Since I haven't watched the content of Li Kexin's interview, I am worried that the reporter is playing tricks.

In case Li Kexin didn't say this at all, the reporter used this sentence to fish, and once he answered positively, he might fall for it.

Reporter: "It's true, director Li Kexin also said that I appreciate you very much and think you can become the leader of the new generation of directors." ”

Fang Xing hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'm not that good." ”

Reporter: "What do you think of director Li Kexin?" ”

Fang Xing: "I like Director Li's works very much, I have watched many of his movies, including "Once Upon a Time in a Small Town", "I'm Going to Marry You Tomorrow", "A Love Letter" and so on. ”

Reporter: "Are you satisfied with the box office of "Crazy Stone"? ”

Fang Xing: "Satisfied, thank you for the support of the audience." ”

Reporter: "It is rumored that you signed a guaranteed box office contract of 2 billion with Penguin Pictures, is it true?" ”

Fang Xing: "It's inconvenient to say. ”

Reporter: ""Crazy Stone" is so successful, do you choose to make more movies or TV series in the future? ”

Fang Xing: "This is still uncertain, and there is no new project in preparation at present. ”

Reporter: "I'm so busy at work, do you still have time to spend with my daughter?" ”

Fang Xing nodded and replied, "I go home as early as possible every day. However, sometimes if you run propaganda in other places, you may have fallen asleep when you get home. ”

Reporter: "Will you focus on work in the future?" Or is it family-oriented? ”

Fang Xing: "Let's pay attention to both ends." Try to concentrate your work in one city, so that you can go home at the end of the day. ”

Reporter: "When you used to shoot TV series, you directed and acted by yourself, but this time you didn't play an important role in the movie. If you continue to make movies in the future, will you only be a director? ”

Fang Xing: "This depends on the specific situation. ”

Reporter: "Do you want to create a character in a movie?" ”

Fang Xing nodded: "Of course, if there is a suitable role, I will try." ”

Reporter: "Fang Xing, since your debut, you have achieved good results in the three fields of film and television songs. But your fans are very divided.

"Some fans want you to sing more, fans want you to make more TV series, fans want you to make more movies, how do you balance these three things?"

Fang Xing thought for a while and replied: "I don't know, this mainly depends on the mood, when you decide to do something, you will try to do it well." Other things, I don't think about. ”

Reporter: "At the end of this year, the Jinhua Awards, the three major film awards, will you take "Crazy Stone" to participate in the Jintong Awards?" ”

Fang Xing: "This hasn't been taken into account yet, after the film promotion work is over, the main creators of the crew will hold a meeting to discuss." ”

Participating in the competition for film awards is not a matter for Fang Xing alone.

Because film awards, from fine art to photography, from actors to dubbing, all film-related work, there are relevant awards.

Therefore, if you want to participate in the Jinhua Awards, you need to make a decision after discussion with the main creators of the crew.
