"You're still sleeping, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan came over and complained.

With the arrival of Lin Nan, everyone related to the crew of "Stone" is complete.

……

There was still a while before watching the movie, and Ning Hao led a few leading actors to wander among the guests at the scene.

Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen each took a few cakes and ate them in the corner, while Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan watched from the side, wanting to eat and enduring.

"You can eat as much as you want, why do you have so many scruples?"

Lin Nan handed a piece of cake to the two of them, Liu Yifei shook her head, looked left and right again, and still refused.

"Which actress did you see eating in large crowds at banquets?" As he spoke, he glared at Lin Nan and turned his head.

"Then I'll eat some."

Shu Zhan took the small saucer and took a bite with a fork with a smile, "Well, that's good." ”

"Advocacy." Liu Yifei was angry at her best friend's behavior.

"Sissi, I haven't been notified for the past two years, it's okay to eat something, besides, Lin Nan is still a big director, you see that they both eat so energetically......

Shu Chang was taking a small bite of the cake while making excuses.

"But actresses are different from men, mom said......"

"What's different, you can eat if you want, you just need to eat elegantly."

Lin Nan handed over the cake again.

This time, Liu Yifei hesitated, and peeked at Liu's mother who was chatting in the distance, and then took it, squeezed together with Shu Zhan, and took a small bite, "It's really good." ”

The four of them were tasting the cake in the corner, and many guests wanted to come over to set up a relationship with Lin Nan, but they were afraid of disturbing them.

In the afternoon, a group of guests and creators entered the theater to watch the prepared film.

Guo Tao, Liu Hao, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo ......, the film slowly unfolded, and the roles played by several people appeared one after another.

"Stealing beams for pillars", "It takes no effort to get it", "Swapping the fake for the real" and "Returning to Zhao", the stories that revolve around the priceless jade are gripping.

Feng Dong and Manager Qin, played by Xu Zheng, both died in the end.

Bao Shihong, played by Guo Tao, was commended for his courage in capturing the thief, and Brother Dao and his brothers fled for their lives and died......

The never-before-seen comedy style was presented in front of the guests, ushering in bursts of laughter and applause.

The premiere was a public appearance before the film's release, as well as a press conference.

At the end of the movie, the interview session began, and the reporter wanted to ask Lin Nan first, but was pushed to Ning Hao.

"I came up with a script and fees, visited the class once, and the rest was done by Director Ning Hao."

"When I first saw the script, I was shocked because I had an idea for this kind of script a long time ago, but it was completely different from the version of 'Stone'.

Director Lin Nan showed me the script of "Stone" that day, and I thought it was going to be filmed at that time, so I finally took the job decisively. ”

Ning Hao answered reporters' questions.

"Then how was the actor selected at that time?"

A reporter raised the issue of casting.

Lin Nan motioned for him to answer this question.

"First of all, you can see that the main creative team is all powerful actors from professional classes, Brother Guo Tao and Brother Liu Hao were both born in the Academy of Drama and have a long time of acting experience.

……

Finally, Wang Xun and Huang Bo, one is a comedian actor in the southwest region, and the other is a student of the film academy, both have foundations.

These are part of the reasons, but the main reason is that they are cheap.

The production cost can be used to the maximum extent for the production of the film itself. ”

Lin Nan was still praising the actor himself in front of him, and the last big turn made everyone laugh, including several leading actors on the same stage.

The reporter interviewed several leading actors in turn, and everyone was unanimously optimistic about the box office of "Stone".

"I am very grateful to director Lin Nan for giving me this opportunity, and I really hope to participate in the films he directed in the future, not just his script."

Huang Bo gaged, but he still said it to Ning Hao, which made Ning Hao point at him and laugh.

The interview ended with a happy ending, and then it was time for another highlight, the dinner.

Banquets are for everyone, and many movie premiere banquets are a place for all parties to negotiate and cooperate, and they are also a good opportunity for insiders to expand their contacts and exchange resources.

After Xu Zheng toasted Lin Nan, he walked among many film companies, and it could be seen that he had a goal.

Several bigwigs were talking and laughing with Ning Hao, and there was a optimistic meaning between their words, and it was estimated that they would invest in Ning Hao as long as "Stone" came out.

Liu's mother is chatting with Liu Yifei and Huayi, both of whom are interested in cooperating, and Liu Yifei's current popularity is very high.

"You really have no desires?"

Lin Nan looked at Shu Zhan and said, she occasionally chatted with others alone, and they were all agents or brokerage companies who were interested in her.

"Let's wait until I graduate, it's fine now.

It's still the same sentence, when the time comes, it's a big deal to ask you to take me, you won't refuse, right? ”

Shu Zhan stuffed a strawberry into his mouth and said to Lin Nan with squinted eyes.

"Me? I'll say I don't know you then. Lin Nan smiled and said cruel words.

"Cut, then I'll pester Sissi, you can still hide that little bit of thought from me."

Shu Zhan swallowed the strawberry and pretended to threaten fiercely, with a joke in his eyes.

"You're amazing, little girl."

Lin Nan didn't know how to refute it, so he had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Hey, of course."

……

That night, the premiere of "Stone" was in the news, including all the interviews, as well as live photos of various celebrity guests.

Among them, there is a picture of Lin Nan eating cake in the corner of the four people, the photo angle is tricky, Liu Yifei and Shu Zhan only have side faces, and they eat dignified and elegant, while the faces of the two men are all entered, which looks much more casual.

"Haha, look at the two of them like that." Liu Yifei laughed at Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen afterwards.

The media commented on "Stone" quite well, saying that it was a black humor different from traditional comedy, and people couldn't stop laughing at the premiere.

Ying Huang had previously contacted Lin Nan about the promotion and distribution of "Stone" on Hong Kong Island.

Lin Nan hadn't thought about this before, but since Yinghuang had this meaning, he finally handed it over to them, which was the first time that the two sides met.

In fact, the audience of "Stone" is not large, and even some Southeast Asian regions are not necessarily suitable, so Lin Nan only stared at the mainland at the beginning, because he didn't know how much box office this film could have on Hong Kong Island, so he simply didn't think about it.

The release on Hong Kong Island is two days later than that in the mainland, as for publicity, Lin Nan and the crew are powerless, and the focus must be on the mainland.

On May Day, "Stone" was fully released, and there were no too powerful competitors at this time, and a few famous directors' movies were also in the second half of the year.

Many companies and filmmakers in the industry believe that the box office of "Stone" will not be bad, but how far it can go depends on the data, and there are many people staring at it.

Lin Nan didn't wait for the result this time, but went around the movie theater alone.

Thanks to the holiday, there are many theater audiences, and among the several movies released, "Stone" is the most playable, and Lin Nan's name and honor are printed on the poster.

The choice questions give the answers, and the audience can easily make a choice.

After watching the moviegoers in a few theaters, Lin Nan had points in his heart, and word of mouth would ferment with the first batch of audiences.

Guangguang also sent someone to understand the attendance rate of the day, and told Lin Nan the situation very excitedly, and asserted that the box office on the first day would definitely not be bad.

The next morning, the light contacted the media and released the data obtained from the relevant authorities.

The national box office of "Stone" reached 13 million on the first day, and it can be concluded that this is another commercial film with more than 100 million yuan.

After the first day, word-of-mouth fermented smoothly, and many people praised "Stone".

"It's a different feeling, it's great, it's beautiful."

"I'm so scolding, listening to the thief kind and energetic."

"The first pee in 2002 came later than usual......"

……

Ning Hao's name, with the double increase in the word-of-mouth box office of "Stone", appeared on various news pages, and a new box office director of 100 million yuan is about to be born.

"You don't know, my phone has been blown up recently, all of them are for me to invest, so I have to change my number."

Ning Hao said with a smile on his face about the troubles of the past few days, completely ignoring the white eyes of the few people next to him.

"Then congratulations, you won't have to worry about funds when making movies in the future." Lin Nan said.

"Mouse, you can't forget my buddy." Huang Bo interjected.

"I can't afford you, didn't you say at the premiere that you want to make a movie directed by Lin Nan, I'm not worthy."

Ning Hao was stunned.

"Just kidding, kidding." Huang Bo climbed down the pole with a hippie smile.

"To be honest, I want to thank you Lin Nan, if it weren't for "Stone", I guess I would have to continue to work and save money for other crews." Ning Hao looked at Lin Nan very sincerely.

"It's over the flesh. In the future, don't always think about ideals, literature and art, you should be able to see that only the box office can make others look up to you and invest in you.

When your reputation is big and your status is stable, it's not too late to fiddle with your ideals and literature, and you can take your time to win awards. ”

"Jin Yu Liangyan, you can see better than me, respect you."

Ning Hao said and picked up a glass of beer and poured it down.

Xing Ai looked at Ning Hao's appearance, and also picked up the cup, "Don't say anything else, this cup will definitely be honored to you." ”

"Then let's go together, and I wish "Stone" a big hit."

"A big sale."

……

The news from Yinghuang that "Stone" still has two million on the first day there, and there is no publicity, it is already very good to have these just by posters and film schedules, at least Lin Nan thinks that there is money.

Ying Huang's profit is a share of the profits of "Stone" on Hong Kong Island, so they will do their best.

Lin Nan was not sure about the box office over there, so he signed it like this, but judging from the box office of two million on the first day, Yinghuang seemed to have made the right bet, because they didn't invest much in publicity, and the place was so big.

The box office of "Stone" rushed to 13 million on the first day, and on the second day, the third day, until the seventh day, a whole long holiday, the box office

The daily average is not more than 12 million.

It wasn't until the eighth day that the box office dropped to eight million.

Lin Nan estimates that in ten days at most, the daily box office of "Stone" will almost drop to six figures, and it will not be far from the next release at that time.
