Chapter 136: A box office hit
And the crazy stone did attract a lot of people's attention after it was released, especially in the promotional poster, Jiang Bai directly appeared in the C position.
This made many people who didn't know about the movie see the poster when they came to the door of the movie theater, and they bought crazy stones on the fly.
Just after the end of the first day, Zhao Zhe had already received statistics from various theaters, and today's crazy stone box office alone sold more than 700,000 yuan.
After hearing this number, Zhao Zhe was overjoyed, because it was only the first day, and the popularity of the movie had not been hit, and they were not as rich as other crews, so they could spend a lot of money on publicity and distribution, which was well known.
Of the money they had left, they had already spent all the money on renting a space to hold a press conference, setting up the scene, paying the reporters for their cars and horses, and making all kinds of materials at the entrance of the theater.
Except for a small number of articles about Crazy Stone on the Internet, which were written by film critics and reporters who attended the premiere on the day of the premiere, all the rest were written by Li Ping himself.
One person is enough to catch up with a regular army, he eats and lives in the office every day, writes when he opens his eyes, sleeps when he is tired of eating, brews coffee pack after pack, and smokes cigarettes one after another.
But this is just the previous publicity, and after the movie is released, Li Ping will be even more idle, because he still has to comment on the movie from different angles from the audience's point of view.
By the next day, the Internet was already full of articles that Li Ping had written in the past few days.
More people saw the news about the crazy stone, and at the same time, they also learned that this was the first movie Jiang Bai starred in, so they walked into the movie theater one after another.
At the beginning, when they saw Bao Shihong's performance in the hospital and the plot in the following part of the film, they thought they had been deceived.
I'm afraid that it wasn't for the group of grandsons on the Internet who found out that it was a big bad movie after watching it, so they deliberately deceived others into watching it on the principle that they couldn't waste money by themselves.
But when they saw that Xie Xiaomeng was trampled by a woman because he was a hooligan on the ropeway across the river, the Coke in his hand fell.
And Bao Shihong, who came out of the hospital, drove well, and suddenly smashed the glass window by a can of Coke falling from the sky, and the four eyes took the red flag and sprayed a big word outside the wall of the jade factory, and he just turned his head to find that his BMW was hit by a van and the headlights were broken.
And that van was the one that Bao Shihong drove before.
When these first lines were connected for the first time, the audience suddenly felt as if the film had become better.
And the rustic dialect before seems to be becoming more and more fluent.
For a moment, there was a lot of laughter in the movie theater.
Later, the scene of Jiang Bai playing with a razor also made them marvel, Jiang Bai is really Jiang Bai, even in a comedy, he can play with a knife so slippery.
It's just that when they saw Jiang Bai being suspended in the air because he bought a short piece of rope, they couldn't help laughing happily, Jiang Bai's performance in other TV series in the past was handsome, chic, or perverted and panicked.
But here they were at a loss because they were almost able to reach the gem in the glass case, and this contrast made them even happier, and the dignified fox chong would be deflated by a rope.
The dignified international thief was actually stolen by a few thugs with a lame trick, and the sentence "I will put your lungs on your shoulder" made the audience laugh backwards and backwards.
But except for Jiang Bai, everyone in the other characters is flesh and blood, whether they are good or bad, they all have their own shining points.
and the surprise of Zhao Wenzheng and Wu Jing in this movie, which also surprised some people.
In just over an hour, there were more than 60 reversals and hundreds of laughs, so that the audience had no time to stop at all, holding their urine one by one from beginning to end.
So much so that when the movie ended, they were reluctant to leave, even the aunts who cleaned the theater had already begun to come in to clean up, and they were still happily watching the shooting footage at the end.
When the tidbits were finished and the list of actors was also released, the words Xu Qingdong, Zhang Jizhong, Zhao Wenzhen, Wu Jing and that car repair shop appeared in the special thanks column.
The garage has been featured in the films, in the footage, and finally again in the Special Acknowledgments.
In this way, they are worthy of the wrecked BMW.
All the audience members walked out of the theater with happy smiles on their faces.
So the next day, their box office doubled directly to 1.4 million.
Not only did Zhao Zhe's face bloom with joy at this time, but even the theater side began to increase the arrangement of crazy stones after learning the news.
The box office on the third day was 1.6 million.
One million on the fourth day.
It wasn't until the fifth day that the box office began to stabilize.
But even so, the box office in the first weekend of Crazy Stone's release has reached more than 9.3 million.
"Earned, earned, this time we are really going to make a lot of money!"
In the company, Zhao Zhe directly called Jiang Bai, Ning Hao, Yue Xiaojun, Huang Bo and all the people in the company who participated.
While scolding Fang Yu proudly, he watered the fortune tree.
"We won so much box office in the first week, and it is estimated that we will be able to recoup our costs by next week, and we will earn everything that will be sold in the future!"
"Ning Hao, you are amazing, the script created by you and Xiaojun is simply amazing, and the director is good, after this movie, Ling can be regarded as a little famous in the director's circle! What is it? It was an instant hit! ”
Zhao Zhe kept praising Ning Hao and the others, which made Ning Hao and Yue Xiaojun a little embarrassed.
After all, usually the two of them quarrel most of the time together.
"No, no, thanks to Mr. Zhao's wise eyes and gave me this opportunity, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to make this movie." Ning Hao also said very modestly, but the smug look on his face couldn't be hidden.
"No, you deserve it, and Jiang Bai, the reason why our movie can have such a high box office in the first week is also thanks to your appeal, I dare to say that most of the people who went to the cinema at the beginning were going for you, and if it weren't for you, this movie would not have been released so smoothly, it can be said that you are the biggest hero in this movie!"
"Brother Zhao has won the award, the credit for this movie belongs to everyone, I just did something within my bounds."
These things are indeed within Jiang Bai's responsibility, although he himself is not paid for starring in this movie, but Jiang Bai is an investor, and he took a total of 1.6 million yuan before and after, and he also borrowed jade, and got the theater and distribution through Xu Qingdong.
And more importantly, Jiang Bai now has 49% of the company's shares, which is equivalent to being tied to the same boat with the company, with both prosperity and loss, so it is natural to have more effort.
"Huang Bo, you too, now the Internet has a very high evaluation of you, I will see if there is a script suitable for you when I go back, but you take the route of a comedian, let's try to set your tone in the next few films, and it will be much more convenient to take on this kind of role when the time comes."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, I didn't expect our film to have such good results." Huang Bo said with a smile, and it could be seen that he was also very happy.
After that, Zhao Zhe thanked everyone present, and said that everyone went out to have a good meal tonight, and he had a treat.
"Brother Zhao, do you still have money?"
"I don't have any money, but with our results now, I have to invite this meal even if I swipe my credit card!"
"Brother Zhao, I don't think we need to go to big hotels, instead of going to those big hotels, it's better to eat barbecue."
"I think so, just go to Huang Bo's hometown."
"Then buy a few more cases of beer, and we'll step on the boxes and drink them when the time comes."
"Okay."
So that night, they went directly to eat barbecue, from more than nine o'clock in the evening to three o'clock in the morning, there were wine bottles all over the ground, Jiang Bai, Huang Bo, and Zhao Zhe each drank more than a box, and they didn't know how many times they ran to the toilet alone.
Jiang Bai drank beer until the end and became more and more sober, while the others couldn't, there was really no way, Jiang Bai had to get them to his house first.
It's just that in the new week, the box office of Crazy Stone continues to rise.
By the second week, the film had paid for itself at the box office, which meant that for every ticket that the audience bought, they would be able to make money from that ticket.
And Jiang Bai's sister immediately paid out of her own pocket to invite all her colleagues in the kindergarten to go to the cinema to watch Jiang Bai's performance.
But in the second week, Wang Baoqiang left, still carrying the huge snakeskin bag and went to the crew of the blind well.
The days went by like this, "I'm going to put your lungs on top", "Brand Baleno", "You insulted my personality, and you insulted my IQ", "Public toilets? Come if you want, leave if you want" and other lines have also become a mantra for many people.
In the blink of an eye, the years of burning passion have also reached the day of broadcasting.
After cooperating with the publicity, Jiang Bai chatted with Zhang Jizhong again, now Zhang Jizhong is filming Tianlong Babu, and he is not looking for Jiang Bai, but Jiang Bai doesn't care, the shooting cycle of the TV series is much longer than the movie, and it is this kind of big IP production.
If you enter the crew of Tianlong Babu, it means that you have no chance with the hero.
In contrast, Jiang Bai still thinks that the hero's side is better, after all, with the plot of Tianlong Babu, even if he passes, he can't be the leading actor.
There are three men and four men on both sides, so it is better to play a hero, the cycle is relatively short, and the old man gives a lot of money, not to mention that he can meet many first-line movie stars in this movie.
