Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 107 "Mythology" is a box office hit, and "Stone" is overwhelmed by word of mouth!
9月23日，投资1亿6千万港币制作的程龙新片——《神话》，首日票房突破800万。

This film not only became Cheng Long's best first-day box office movie in the past 10 years, but also became the best first-day box office movie in the Mainland since 2005.

For such a box office, although the investors and distributors, as well as the lead actor Cheng Long, director Tang Jili and others were very happy, they expressed that they were not too surprised.
Because the entire production of "Mythology" has a super strong business model, and Cheng Long, an international superstar, is paired with the number one beauty in Korea.

With the current booming situation and the coming "October" Golden Week, all parties predict that the box office of "Mythology" will exceed [-] million yuan, becoming the box office "myth" of the mainland movie market this year.

Directed by Stanley Kwan, starring Sammi Cheng, Tony Leung Ka Fai, etc., "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" with an investment of 4000 million yuan only earned 60 yuan at the box office on the first day of release, which was an embarrassing loss.

It can be seen from this that Han Sanping's analysis is still very reasonable. For a literary film like "Song of Everlasting Regret", it is a pipe dream to get a high box office.

Another reason is that Liang Jiahui, the leading actor in "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", has almost no box office appeal. To put it bluntly, there are not many audiences who are willing to spend money to watch his movies in theaters.

Although Liang Jiahui's acting skills are very superb, known as "one person with thousands of faces", he claims to be able to play any role, but he can play any role, and to a certain extent, it represents mediocrity, his personal style is not clear, and he has no clear positioning .

Like the "King of Comedy" Zhou Xingchi, his positioning is very clear, he only acts in comedies, only shoots comedies, and in comedy performances, no one in Asia can compare with him.

The same is true of Kung Fu superstars Jackie Chan and Jet Li, each with its own style, and it is a style that cannot be imitated by others. It is unique in the world.

As for the heroine Sammi Cheng, like all actresses in Hong Kong and Taiwan, she has never been the box office leader. The box office of the leading actress depends entirely on the type of film and the male star she is partnering with.

For example, the movie that Sammi Cheng and Andy Lau collaborated on had a very high box office, but that was all thanks to Andy Lau, and she herself had no box office appeal.

Li Lizhen can carry the box office. Her 2+1 movies can make many male audiences willing to spend money to enter the theater.

Weng Hong is also okay, and her "Unstoppable Style" is also a rare classic.

But she, like Shu Qi, chose to change her ways, and there are no more legends about her in the world.

Speaking of Shu Qi, Shu Qi is also a very special actress, and she is also a very special existence in the entertainment industry.

In the 90s, Shu Qi was able to act opposite Leslie Cheung and Ekin Cheng.

In more than ten years, she will still be able to play leading roles with Lu Han, Jing Boran, Wang Dahammer and other small fresh meats.

The movie "Children's Dream" starring Andy Lau is also a low-cost movie. In Xiangjiang, it has already paid back its capital, and even made a lot of money. It also got 160 million at the box office on the first day in the mainland, which is quite satisfactory. , Breaking ten million is still no problem.

As for the Hollywood blockbuster "Fantastic Four", although it has hit the box office all over the world, it was already released in mainland China as early as August.

It is now the end of September, and it has been released for more than a month, and for nearly two months, the threat of "Fantastic Four" has dropped significantly, and it is already at the end of its strength.

That is to say, during the National Day file in 2005, "Mythology" was almost the only one that stood out, and almost all the other films came to join in the fun, only to accompany them.

And the movie "Crazy Stone" will also be screened in four major cities starting from September 9.

March 9th, late.

In Nanjing Workers Studios, the audience responded enthusiastically to "Crazy Stone", saying that this film "can be compared with Feng Xiaogang's comedy" and brought them many surprises.

The plot of the movie "Crazy Stone" unfolds from the discovery of the priceless emerald. The reporter found that during the film screening, the audience laughed continuously.

There are many highlights in the film with special "laughs":
For example, the head of the security section played by Guo Tao found thieves entering and leaving the temple every day, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse. He shouted: "Public toilets! Come and leave if you want!"

The international flying thief Mike, played by Cao Jun, adopted Tom Cruise's favorite trick in "Mission: Impossible". He hung his body with the rope he bought in advance, and slowly approached the exhibition box on the ground to get the piece of emerald. , but found that the rope was too short, and he couldn't get the treasure, so he could only curse secretly: "Profitable businessman!"

……

After the screening of the film, many viewers expressed their excitement to the reporter: "I didn't expect such a good-looking comedy to be made in a mainland movie. Feng Xiaogang has a rival!"

"I heard that the cost of this movie is only 500 million. It is really not easy to make it like this. The plot, lines, performances, shooting techniques, etc. are all brilliant. I give it [-] points out of [-]!"

"It's a surprise. I thought it was nothing to watch, but after watching it, I realized that this is a very funny comedy movie."

"I haven't watched it. The crew is very exciting. I plan to watch it again and call my girlfriend. Ah, I'm sorry, I don't have a girlfriend... I will watch it again tomorrow by myself!"

"I'm going to ask my friend to come with me. The filming is so good. I laughed from the beginning to the end. I lost all my energy from laughing. I yawned when I laughed so hard that I exhausted all my energy when I was so depressed."

A male viewer said: "The film narrates the same event from multiple angles, such as thieves, security guards and other different perspectives, and repeatedly reproduces the same event. Because the scale is appropriate, not only is it not messy, but it just achieves a humorous effect. .”

A female viewer said: "I am a fan of Cao Jun. I came to watch the show because of Cao Jun. He is really handsome. He can play anything. His acting skills are also very good. The Mike played is very funny. It's going to be a bit miserable."

The well-designed lines are also impressive, such as "There is hard work without credit, and fatigue without hard work", "Did you see, BMW, don't touch me" and so on.

In order to let more people know about the movie "Crazy Stone", Cao Jun and Xu Zheng accompanied Ning Hao to participate in the movie screenings in Beijing and Shanghai.

Judging from the reaction of the audience at the screening site, the word-of-mouth of the movie "Crazy Stone" can be regarded as a hit. There are almost no bad reviews. After all, it is free. Even if you don't like this movie, you are embarrassed to criticize it. .

Every audience who watched the movie left the theater with a smile on their faces. Anyone who bought such a good movie for nothing will feel happy.

After the screening of the movie in Shanghai ended, Cao Jun and Ning Hao, under Xu Zheng's strong recommendation, went to a private restaurant for supper.

For Xu Zheng, living in this world, eating, drinking and whoring are the three greatest pleasures in his life.

Xu Zheng is more particular about food, and he is also willing to share food with his brothers.

When Ning Hao thought that in two hours, the movie "Crazy Stone" would be officially released. Facing a table full of delicacies, he had no appetite at all.

Looking at Ning Hao who was silent, Xu Zheng persuaded him, "Ning Hao, just smile, don't be so sullen all day, Xiao Cao and I don't owe you money."

Cao Jun also said: "Yeah, brother Hao, why are you thinking so much, you are so sad all day long, Lao Xu and I can hardly stand you, really."

Before Ning Hao could answer, Xu Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "Okay, don't think about it so much, eat it while it's hot, and take you to a massage after eating to relax, you're too tense gone."

Hearing Xu Zheng's words, Ning Hao asked, "Is it a serious massage shop?"

Xu Zheng said angrily and amusedly: "You said you asked this, who am I, Xu Zheng? Can I take you to an unscrupulous massage parlor?"

Cao Jun also felt a little back pain recently, so he asked Xu Zheng: "Old Xu, is the massage shop you mentioned professional or not? Is it a master? I really want to go and have a massage."

Xu Zheng said frankly, "They're not old masters, they're all young ladies. They're not professional in massage, but they're pretty professional in other aspects."

Ning Hao smiled shyly and said, "Then go after eating and give them some massage techniques."
