"Crazy Stone" was released for 26 days and exceeded 2 billion at the box office.

And the box office has a lot of stamina, with a box office of 20 million per day, and the box office can double on weekends.

Therefore, the theater chain agreed to postpone "Crazy Stone" for a month.

Generally speaking, movies are released for a month, and then they are released offline from theaters and transferred to the Internet.

However, there are also some movies that have a lot of box office momentum and will be postponed.

"Crazy Stone" really has enough stamina, one of the reasons is that the leading actor is not well-known, so that the audience does not plan to watch it at first, and only after seeing the high rating of this movie will they find another time to watch it.

Moreover, "Crazy Stone" did explode in word-of-mouth, and passers-by even felt that it was too outrageous when they saw the reviews of film critics.

However, after they went to the cinema to watch it, they felt that "Crazy Stone" could receive this kind of evaluation.

"Crazy Stone" has been swiping the screen in the circle of friends for a month, and all the tap water.

This summer, not watching "Crazy Stone" is like not having a summer vacation.

Therefore, when the time came to August, there were still audiences who went to the cinema to watch "Crazy Stone".

Although the stamina is enough in the movie, it has almost reached the upper limit after a month of release.

After the total box office reached 2.3 billion, the single-day box office of "Crazy Stone" also dropped to seven or eight million, and the final box office is expected to reach 2.4 billion.

2.4 billion box office, this is Fang Xing's first movie, the answer sheet handed in.

The film industry is real.

In this industry, the work is the biggest right to speak.

Fang Xing's achievements in the field of TV dramas have not been recognized by the film industry, but now he has won a box office of 2.4 billion with a comedy film that does not have top-notch participation.

It was immediately recognized by the film industry and emerged in the film industry.

……

It's not just Fang Xing, the director.

Several leading actors who were originally not well-known have soared in popularity.

In the past, Guo Shi was an eighteenth-tier actor, and he has been in this industry for 20 years, but he has not been able to have a familiar role.

However, "Crazy Stone" became popular, and his popularity also rose.

Many film and television companies came to ask him to film, and in just one month, he received several scripts.

And.

In the entertainment industry, the status of movie coffee is much higher than that of TV coffee.

Guo Shi became famous overnight, and he is still a movie café.

If he goes to act in a TV series now, it will be considered a dimensionality reduction blow.

It's not just the originally unknown actor who has become popular.

Even Liang Youhua, the king of Xiangjiang, has won a lot of audience's love in the mainland because of this movie.

Originally, Liang Youhua came to make a cameo appearance in "Crazy Stone" for the sake of Zhang Changfeng, president of Penguin Pictures.

He was just repaying Zhang Changfeng's favor at the beginning, and never thought that he could get anything on this movie.

After all, he is already a superstar, and it is impossible to get any big improvement from this movie by making a cameo appearance in a movie with a low investment.

It's just that "Crazy Stone" still gave him a little surprise.

His sentence "I'll put your lungs on top!" It became a buzzword this summer.

Now you can see this sentence everywhere on the Internet.

As long as netizens encounter something they want to complain about, they will directly say: "I'll give you a lung!" ”

Even, the picture of Liang Youhua taking off his sunglasses and saying this line was made into an emoji and was active in various online communities and communication software.

The funniest thing is that Liang Youhua once participated in an event in the East China Sea and met an elderly square dance aunt.

The aunt recognized him, but couldn't call his name, so she came directly: "You are the ...... I'm a lung! ”

How does this sound like an insult.

However, many actors who have played popular roles have such experiences.

Passers-by on the street may not be able to call out the actor's real name, but they can call out the name of the character who is red.

Therefore, Liang Youhua was not surprised at all, and signed the aunt.

……

One month after the release of "Crazy Stone", the follow-up box office basically stabilized, and continued to run publicity, and the effect was not obvious.

Therefore, the crew and team that have been running the roadshow for more than a month are officially on vacation.

Fang Xing is rarely at home during the day.

When she saw her father during the day, she jumped up in surprise and ran to the piano room with her hand by the hand: "Dad sings, dad sings ......"

The little girl is almost three years old, and she is full of cleverness.

I already know that there are delicious things in the refrigerator, and I often pull my grandparents to walk in front of the refrigerator and point to the refrigerator door.

Children should not eat too many snacks, otherwise they will not eat.

Therefore, every time Fang Xing saw it, he had to order not to open the refrigerator door.

It's just that grandparents spoil their granddaughters too much and often give them secretly.

Fang Xing often couldn't help but complain: "When I was a child, why didn't I see you secretly buying me snacks?" ”

Then, Fang's mother will backhand a lot of words and come back.

……

Since the box office guarantee contract signed with Penguin Pictures is 2 billion, "Crazy Stone" has met the box office requirements of the contract.

Therefore, the final account is divided according to the normal proportion.

This time, the total box office of "Crazy Stone" reached 2.4 billion, and the box office that the producer could get was 860 million.

Of the 860 million, it needs to be distributed to several film and television investment companies according to the proportion of investment.

In addition, Fang Xing's initial directorial contract was the top standard, 15 million plus a 7% share ratio.

Therefore, with Fang Xing's director's share, Ark Culture can finally get a profit of more than 600 million.

In this project, Ark Culture only invested 50 million, but got a profit of more than 600 million.

A tenfold rate of return, placed in the film industry, is simply a golden project.

Therefore.

As soon as "Crazy Stone" came out, the status of Ark culture instantly established itself in the film industry.

……

The other side.

"Darkling 2" has been on the air for a few months, and there are no new drama projects yet.

The film and television production department of Ark Culture, together with Zhang Yigao, has begun to actively look for new projects.

As a content output company, most of the current projects of Ark Culture are still focused on TV dramas.

Therefore, there will be many film and television companies that take the initiative to come to contact and seek cooperation.

The film and television production department of Ark Culture will receive several scripts every month, and if there is a suitable script, it will also talk to the screenwriting team of the script.

Wang Yutao is the same, after the broadcast of "Ancient Acacia", he has not made a feature film for half a year, and continues to be responsible for the MV of the company's singers, as well as commercials.

Now the film and television production department has screened out two scripts and is preparing to shoot a costume drama.

However, the film and television production department couldn't make up their minds about which script to choose, so they wanted Qiao Yinghong to make a decision.

Qiao Yinghong read two scripts and was also difficult.

These two scripts, it looks okay, but how good they are, they don't.

Qiao Yinghong had no choice but to take a look at Fang Xing and said: "These are two scripts selected by the film and television production department, and their idea is to change one of the scripts into an ancient puppet and let Zhang Yigao shoot it." ”

After the crew of Ark Culture finished filming "Crazy Stone", there have been no new projects for several months.

For a company to develop well, it needs to make the company's departments functional.

Therefore, it is necessary to start a new project.

Fang Xing briefly looked at the beginnings of the two scripts, shook his head and said, "The plot is a bit old-fashioned. ”

Qiao Yinghong nodded and said: "The audience actually doesn't mind the old-fashioned plot, and if the ancient puppet is used, the lower limit is high, if Zhang Yigao is allowed to shoot, there will be a profit." ”

For Qiao Yinghong, as long as the project is guaranteed to be profitable, it will be considered a success.

Then filming ancient puppets is the best choice, as long as you find a few actors who meet the audience's aesthetics, you will have to make money when you shoot them.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, these two scripts are not filmed." I have a script here, you can inform me that the meeting will be held tomorrow and let Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao come. ”

……

The next day.

Ark Culture Film and Television Production Department Meeting.

Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao both received notices and guessed that there might be a new play to be launched, so they came to the conference room early.

Fang Xing came to the conference room on time and said, "Let's start." ”

Qiao Yinghong first summarized the results of several TV series and movies produced this year, and then turned to today's topic:

"At present, the company needs a new project, the production of scripts selected by the film and television production department, I showed it to the boss, and the boss was not very satisfied, so he decided to take a new script out and shoot it.

"I haven't seen the script, how to prepare for the specific new project, and listen to how the boss arranges."

Fang Xing took over the topic and said: "Yu Tao's "Ancient Acacia Song" filmed before, and the response was good. In terms of costume art, I am very satisfied.

"So, it's better to make a costume drama this time.

"My plan is to be a big feature film with more than 70 episodes.

"I had high expectations for this project, so my idea was to have Yigao and Yu Tao work together and I would be the executive producer.

"Of course, it also depends on what you two think."

Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao didn't expect this kind of arrangement, and their faces showed surprised expressions.

The two glanced at each other, and Zhang Yigao said first: "I have no opinion, I have known Yu Tao for more than ten years, and there is no problem in cooperating." Right, Yu Tao? ”

At present, Wang Yutao has only filmed one feature film "Ancient Acacia".

However, he has a very good control of costume styling and lenses.

Fang Xing likes his aesthetics of costume shots very much, but this time the script has to shoot more than 70 episodes, and with his directing experience, it may not be enough.

Therefore, Fang Xing planned to let the two of them shoot together.

Wang Yutao has only filmed one "Ancient Lovesickness", and has not yet become a hot director, and now he is very satisfied as long as he has a scene to film.

Moreover, he and Zhang Yigao have been with Fang Xing for so many years, and they have always had a tacit understanding at work, so they have no objection to this arrangement.

"Yes, I'm fine." Wang Yutao immediately nodded in agreement.

……

In fact, in the film and television industry, many directors don't like two directors to work together to make dramas.

If there is a difference of opinion between two people, it is easy to have contradictions.

If the conflict expands, it may directly break up.

The more talented the director, the more he wants the whole work to follow his ideas.

But.

Here in Fang Xing, there is no need to worry about this situation.

Originally, Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao have known each other for more than ten years, and they have been assistant directors in Fang Xing's crew for six or seven years.

There is a tacit understanding of work.

As for the disagreement between the two people's ideas, it is also easy to resolve.

Fang Xing served as the producer, and when the two disagreed, that was Fang Xing's final say.

Even when Zhang Yigao was filming a drama alone, Fang Xing would keep up with the filming progress every once in a while, and would ask for modifications to the unsatisfactory areas.

This cooperation model is already very mature.

Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao never thought about it, Fang Xing's decision was right.

Fang Xing has swept the three major TV series award ceremonies, and with this kind of strength, he still has to question that it is a brain disease.

Therefore, when Fang Xing proposed to let the two of them cooperate in filming, both of them agreed without hesitation.

……

The reason why the two were allowed to work together this time is mainly because this drama has higher requirements for the director than the dramas they filmed before.

The acting skills of the actors are not even inferior to the movies.

Fang Xing initially considered whether to shoot in person, but now that he has stepped into the film industry, he decided to focus more on movies.

The TV series was filmed by an assistant director who had been with him for so many years.

However, Fang Xing's requirements for the acting skills of the actors this time are higher than those of previous dramas, so when auditioning for actors in the early stage, he will personally participate.

Moreover, Fang Xing is not only a producer this time, but a producer, and will follow the shooting situation more closely.

……

The meeting continued.

Since Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao did not receive the script, Zhang Yigao took the initiative to ask: "Boss, is there already a script?" ”

"Now there are only the first 30 episodes of the script, and I will give you the rest of the script before the start of filming."

Fang Xing said, took out a script printed on A4 paper and handed it to the two of them.

Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao took it and glanced at the cover.

On the cover is printed a line of poems "Know whether you know it or not, it should be green, fat, red and thin".

The meeting wasn't over yet, so the two just flipped through the script and scanned two pages, without having time to read it in detail.

Fang Xing continued: "I value this script very much, and I thought about shooting it myself before. Later, I watched the drama you filmed, and I thought you should be competent, so I left it to you to try.

"But there's one thing I want to say first.

"I don't allow this script to be filmed badly, if I don't feel satisfied with it when I am supervising the production, I may take over and shoot it myself."

When Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao heard this, the pressure suddenly came up.

The expressions of the two became serious, and they said solemnly: "Don't worry, boss, you will go all out." ”

If they really didn't shoot well, causing Fang Xing to take over and shoot in person, their status in the directing industry would decline greatly by that time.

Zhang Yigao has made three dramas in a row, "Darker 1", "Darker 2" and "Residual Sin", and now he is a hot director in the TV drama industry.

At this time, if the guide tube is removed, then the face will be lost.

Therefore, even if he fights hard, he can't let this happen.

Fang Xing slowed down his expression and calmed their nervousness: "Don't be too nervous, since I handed it over to you to shoot, I believe that you have the ability to shoot well."

"Besides, when I was casting, I would personally participate in the audition, and I would do a good job in the casting process, and it would be much easier to shoot."

The two nodded together: "Okay, we're fine." I will definitely shoot this script well. ”
