Chapter 86: Retribution [1/2]

Perhaps influenced by Lao Mouzi's "Hero", several major directors have chosen to shoot blockbusters this year.

Big investment, big lineup, big production, big publicity.

Including Zhang Mu's "The Tuner", from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, many blockbusters can be said to be very lively.

However, the Chinese New Year stalls, after all, comedy is more dominant. After all, the people have worked hard for a year, and it will be a good time at the end of the year.

This is also the reason why Yang Guang dared to put "Crazy Stone" on January 1.

It's just that the whole crew except for Andy, who made a cameo, is the most famous Huang Bo. As for Fan Bingbing, because of Huayi, he can only participate in the publicity in the first two weeks stipulated in the contract.

So Huang Bo and Ning Hao, who were holding their breath, ran to more than 30 cities within a month during the roadshow.

As a result, in the end, the creators of the movie opened their eyes every day and didn't know where they were.

Finally, when the roadshow ended, when Zhang Mu saw Ning Hao again, he almost didn't dare to admit it.

However, after looking at it for a while, Zhang Mu couldn't help but laugh:

"Mouse, I didn't expect you to be quite handsome when you lost weight!"

Ning Hao couldn't help but touch his bald head when he heard this, and said with a smile:

"I said why Lao Huang looked at me differently recently, it turned out to be because of this!"

Seeing him say this, Huang Bo, who was sitting on the sofa on the side, immediately couldn't help but laugh and scolded:

"Your uncle! Ning Hao! Why don't you count in your heart? ”

In other words, Ning Hao did lack virtue this time.

Just because Huang Bo is more famous, Ning Hao, the grandson thief, caught him and used him to death.

Almost every time he went to a movie theater, he asked Huang Bo to sing a song.

Later, Huang Bo sang "Ten Thousand Reasons" almost four or five times a day, and he was about to vomit.

If Huang Bo hadn't pointed to the salted fish in "Crazy Stone" and turned over, it is estimated that he would have run away halfway.

Seeing that the two of them were going back and forth to damage each other, Zhang Mu immediately smiled and said:

"Don't worry, there are red envelopes!"

As soon as these words came out, Ning Hao and Huang Bo immediately grinned and said:

"Thank you boss, boss is atmospheric!"

After that, the two also clapped their hands tacitly and smiled: "This scene is not a loss!" ”

Looking at the funny appearance of the two, Zhang Mu couldn't help laughing.

But before a few people could tease a few words, they saw Yang Guang walking in with a smile on his face with an A4 paper eyebrow.

Seeing this situation, Ning Hao and Huang Bo couldn't help but get nervous, and looked at the A4 paper in Yang Guang's hand.

Although the box office in the first week was 5 million, and the box office in the second week was 11 million, the two of them understood that "Crazy Stone" would definitely not lose money this time.

But who doesn't want their movies to be a little higher at the box office?

Seeing this, Zhang Mu immediately took the data and glanced at it, then laughed and said:

"The cumulative box office is 54.5 million! Congratulations, you've made it! ”

As soon as these words came out, Ning Hao and Huang Bo immediately cheered excitedly, and Zhang Mu on the side couldn't help laughing.

This time "Crazy Stone" can have such a box office, to be honest, Zhang Mu is also quite surprised.

At first, he only chose to support it out of confidence in the quality of the film itself.

At the beginning of the release of "Stone", Makino did a lot of targeted publicity from the word-of-mouth of the movie, which made the movie fight out of the afterglow of "Kung Fu" and not be overwhelmed by it.

The desperate roadshow of the main creators has contributed to the spread of word-of-mouth, which has played a great role in promoting the increase in the popularity of the film.

After all, at this time, there are still few stars in cinemas in third-tier cities.

However, the box office explosion of "Stone" not only shocked Makino, but also amazed the entire domestic film industry.

Because the roughness of the movie undoubtedly tells all audiences that the investment in this movie is really not high. And the media in the circle can understand from all aspects that the shooting cost of "Stone" is only 5 million.

So when the box office finally came out, almost all the media climaxed.

In addition, "Stone" is one of the very few black humor comedies in China, so I don't know how many reports are arguing around it for a while.

……

The film illuminates China's low-budget film market, which is dark.

The language of "Crazy Stone" is completely cinematic and audio-visual, rather than the traditional paradigm of 'fiction, prose and even poetry' that Chinese cinema excels at and firmly grasps.

Chinese films need more Ning Hao! (Beijing Film News)

"The significance of "Crazy Stone" to the Chinese film industry is definitely greater than the value of the film itself.

This kind of feeling cannot be obtained by means of money, fame, seniority, marginal themes, etc. (Reported by Phoenix.com)

"Crazy Stone is a triumph for civilians!

Today's comedy seems to have fallen into a misunderstanding, and blindly pretending to be crazy and stupid is counterproductive.

……

It doesn't need to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot some grand scenes, but it can penetrate into the hearts of the people, and the story caused by a stone reveals the truth at the time. (Sohu Film Review)

Beijing, Huayi headquarters.

Looking at the newspaper touting "Stone", Wang Zhongjun couldn't help frowning.

Although Ning Hao is still just a newcomer, through the movie "Crazy Stone", Wang Zhongjun faintly feels that he may be another talent no less than Feng Xiaogang.

Originally, Makino Media had a Zhang Mu, which made Wang Zhongjun pay special attention to it, otherwise he would not have suppressed them again.

And now, in addition to Zhang Mu, Makino Media has another Ning Hao, who is good at comedy, which ...... Isn't it like a tiger with wings?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel more and more uneasy in his heart.

Looking at the overwhelming praise of Ning Hao in the newspaper, and then thinking about Lu Chuan, who he used to be very optimistic about, Wang Zhongjun suddenly felt extremely bad.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with Makino Media's challenge, the door to his office was suddenly pushed open.

Before Wang Zhongjun could get angry, he saw his younger brother panting and panicked:

"Big brother, Wang Jinhua ran away with someone?"

"Ran away?"

Wang Zhongjun was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand what it meant, but then immediately came back to his senses.

I saw that he looked at Wang Zhonglei with a solemn face and asked:

"Wang Jinhua has changed jobs? Who's going to do it? ”

Listening to this rush of inquiry, Wang Zhonglei poured a glass of water before he said angrily:

"I just received the news that Wang Jinhua will sign a contract with someone at noon today, it seems to be called Orange Sky Media, but I haven't heard about the other party's origin yet!"

Originally, Wang Zhongjun was still secretly wondering if this was Makino's revenge, but when he heard that her next family turned out to be another company, his heart immediately dispelled his suspicions.
