Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 108 Liu Tianwang was dumbfounded, "Stone" bucked the trend and rose at the box office!

July 9, early morning.

Directed by Ning Hao, the movie "Crazy Stone" jointly produced by Han Sanping, Andy Lau, and Cao Jun is officially released in major theaters across the country.

After Han Sanping watched the first film of "Crazy Stone", China Film gradually increased the promotion of this film.

However, "Crazy Stone" is director Ning Hao's water test, and overwhelming publicity is impossible.

China Film Group is also limited to print publicity for this film, such as posting posters in some urban theaters, bus stops, and billboards at various intersections.

Of course, from late August to September 8, when the film will be released nationwide, maintaining high-intensity publicity for one month is not a small sum of money.

The publicity fee given by China Film is only 300 million. After all, the audience of low-budget movies like "Crazy Stone" is really not as wide as Hollywood blockbusters and Cheng Long's blockbusters.

There are even fewer audiences who are willing to spend money to buy tickets to enter the cinema, and those who will come are basically comedy lovers.

These people just need to let them know that there is such a movie coming out, enough coverage, if "Crazy Stone" hits the fame, that's about enough.

For Han Sanping, whether the movie can make money or not is second to none. It has already met expectations if it can make money back. The key is that he himself is optimistic about Ning Hao, a potential stock.

If Ning Hao can become an instant hit in the movie circle with the movie "Crazy Stone", then his next movie will be when he really makes a lot of money, just like he did when he supported Feng Xiaogang back then.

At 9:[-] a.m., the Shanghai Stock Exchange goes ashore.

The trio of Cao Jun, Ning Hao, and Xu Zheng sneaked into the third screening room.

This is a screening hall with a seating capacity of 150 people. There are not many people on site, there are only more than 30 spectators, and the attendance rate is only 20%.

However, this attendance rate is already very good. After all, it is not a big movie, and it is in the morning, and many people are still sleeping. The busiest time of the theater is still at night.

On the big screen, the international thief Mike played by Cao Jun held the mobile phone in his left hand and the receiver of the landline in his right hand. His own echo came from the phone, and the thief was so angry that he was dumbfounded: "I'll fuck you up!"

There was a lot of laughter at the scene, but they all held back and didn't talk or discuss, fearing that it would affect each other's viewing experience.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that the ending song was played that the audience was completely excited.

In the auditorium where the attendance rate was only 20%, discussions began to spread, and slowly gathered together, like a tide that lasted for a long time.

"fantastic!"

"Yeah, this movie is okay, I spit out Coke from laughing!"

"I'll fuck your lungs! You sprayed Coke on my head!"

"I'm ashamed of you! You are learning and selling now, right? There are so many empty seats, why do you want to sit in front of me?"

"I heard that the investment for this movie is only five million. This director is so talented, and it's much more interesting than those blockbuster movies that invested tens of millions!"

"No, it's worth watching this movie today! It's been a long time since I've seen such a funny comedy movie!"

"It's worth the trip, let's go for the second time at night!"

"..."

Just when the reluctant audience was about to leave, Cao Jun, Ning Hao, and Xu Zheng suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Fuck! Cao Jun!"

"Zhu Bajie is here too!"

"Who is the other one? Is it director Ning Hao?"

"..."

The appearance of the stone trio instantly ignited the entire auditorium.

Ning Hao stood on the stage, dying with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am Ning Hao, the director of "Crazy Stone"."

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Ning Hao paused, and continued: "Thank you for coming to the theater and watching our movie "Crazy Stone"."

"Your support is our greatest gain. I also hope that when you go back after watching the movie, you can recommend this movie to your relatives and friends."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Jun and Xu Zheng also spoke one after another, which drew cheers and screams from the audience.

In order to give back to the fans for their support, Cao Jun and Ning Hao also met the audience's request for a group photo.

A female fan who likes Cao Jun burst into tears when she took a photo with Cao Jun, holding Cao Jun and crying uncontrollably.

After leaving the cinema, the three of Cao Jun got into the car and prepared to go to the next cinema road show.

Different from the previous two days, Ning Hao's smile today is much brighter.

Because the film studio gave free tickets to the audience for the previous few screenings, the audience's evaluation of the film must be selfish, after all, they are soft-spoken.

Today, however, the audience bought tickets spontaneously to enter the venue, which has a very different meaning. Every ticket they buy will be converted into the box office of the movie.

Seeing the unconcealable smile on Ning Hao's face, Cao Jun joked, "Brother Hao, how do you feel now?"

Ning Hao didn't hide his inner joy, and replied with a smile: "Great!"

Ning Hao has watched the movie "Crazy Stone" almost 10 times since its premiere, not including the more than 100 times on the editing table.

Ning Hao said with emotion: "I can recite every picture and every line with my eyes closed now, but when I hear the audience's laughter, I am still surrounded by happiness for a long time just like watching it for the first time."

The moods of Cao Jun and Xu Zheng were also quite wonderful.

Although Xu Zheng is only a supporting role in this movie, his zero pay for the movie also made him and Ning Hao friends who can talk about everything.

This is also Xu Zheng's investment method. He chose to star in "Crazy Stone" with zero pay, which is actually a kind of betting behavior.

Because Xu Zheng didn't have any movie resources, and no one asked him to make a movie, he could only figure out a way to see if he could form a movie circle of his own.

Judging from the current situation, Xu Zheng had a strong premonition in his heart, and he felt that he had made the right bet.

And Cao Jun's thoughts are similar to Xu Zheng's.

In addition, Cao Jun's ideal has always been to make movies, and being the producer of this movie is also a brand new challenge and attempt.

Moreover, Cao Jun also admires Ning Hao's seriousness and dedication to movies. This guy really loves movies.

However, Cao Jun is now Hua Yi's signed artist, and he is no longer free. It is impossible to accompany Ning Hao every day to participate in the road show of this movie.

In addition, the second record of Cao Jun's cooperation with Ryefield Music is also being recorded, and he can still spare time to participate in the film's road show, which is already the best of humanity.

As for the movie's box office, Cao Jun doesn't care much about what it will achieve in the end. Of course it's best if it can make money. If it can't make money, it will be considered as a contribution to Huaguo movies.

The next morning.

China Film Group.

Office of the Chairman.

"Bang!"

Just when Han Sanping was impatient and wanted to rush, the door was pushed open suddenly, and Manager Zhou from the distribution department ran in wheezing.

"Director, come out! Come out!" He was holding a data sheet, looking excited.

"Hey, calm down, fiddly!" Han Sanping waved his hand.

After the other party calmed down a bit, Han Sanping said: "Let's talk about the box office here in the capital first."

"9 million!"

"Shanghai stock market?"

"9 million!"

"Chongqing?"

"4 million!"

"Um?"

Han Sanping smiled, calmly lit a cigarette, and then asked, "What's the total box office on the first day of the show?"

Manager Zhou replied excitedly: "The total box office on the first day is 86!"

Hearing this answer, Han Sanping nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's okay. If the word-of-mouth of the film is okay, it should break one million today."

The result was just as Han Sanping expected.

On the second day after the film was released, Andy Lau, the producer, also took time out of his busy schedule to accompany the director Ning Hao to stand for the film "Crazy Stone".

It may also be because of Andy Lau's publicity. On the second day of its release, the movie "Crazy Stone" achieved a box office revenue of 2 million.

With the improvement of the box office, the ferment of word-of-mouth of the film, and the word-of-mouth of the audience, theaters around the world have also increased the film schedule of the movie "Crazy Stone".

On the third day of its release, the box office of the movie "Crazy Stone" bucked the trend again and achieved a good score of 3 million in a single day.

Faced with "Crazy Stone", Andy Lau, as the producer, was a little dumbfounded to achieve such a box office result.

Because "Children's Dream" starring him, although it won 2000 million box office results in Xiangjiang, the box office results of this movie in the Mainland were not good.

On the third day of the release of "Children's Dream", the box office has dropped to 3, which has been overtaken by his investment "Crazy Stone".
