1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 347 Identity and status, a new generation of entertainment tycoons!

"Black humor, excellent plot, excellent actors, excellent director, all of them are excellent!"

"The first of its kind in small-budget comedy films in Kaihua!"

"Although the Garrison is strong, it's just fascinating!"

"Grass root's comedy is much more funny than Feng Xiaogang's Feng's comedy!"

"I heard that the investment for this movie is only 300 million, but I think it's much better than blockbuster movies like "Hero"!"

"..."

To the surprise of both Ning Hao and Jiang Xiaofeng, the netizens' evaluation of the movie "Crazy Stone" was almost all positive.

Maybe it's because "Crazy Stone" is a low-cost comedy movie. Many viewers went for Jiang Xiaofeng's recommendation at first, and didn't hold much expectation.

As a result, after they went to the cinema to watch it, they suddenly discovered that the movie "Crazy Stone" was more enjoyable than many domestic blockbusters, which was a surprise.

Therefore, under the word of mouth of the audience, many audiences were also attracted to the movie theater by the good reputation of the movie "Crazy Stone".

Since its release on April 2002, 4, the box office performance of the movie "Crazy Stone" has soared all the way. In the third week of its release, it broke through 5 million at the box office.

In this era when blockbusters get bigger and small films get smaller, director Ning Hao also brought "Crazy Stone" to create a box office myth of a small film.

In this regard, Professor Zheng Dongtian from the Academy of Film commented: "We have made several blockbuster films, and most of them have made money; we have made hundreds of small films, and now we have won the box office for the first time."

Movies with small directors, small actors, and small productions have achieved extraordinary box office. This is one of the reasons why "Crazy Stone" can cause a sensation.

You know, a young director under the age of 30, with a budget of 300 million yuan invested by Jiang Xiaofeng, led the filming of a small-budget movie "Crazy Stone" without any stars, which earned tens of millions of box office and became the current Chinese filmmaker. A dark horse in the domestic film market is itself a surprising thing.

This also allowed Ning Hao to win the title of "ghost director" of the new generation, and became a first-line director comparable to Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou.

The absurd and logical storyline, coupled with the well-proportioned montage technique, also made many people see Ning Hao's level of director.

As for the movie "Waiting Alone" written, directed and acted by Jiang Xiaofeng, although the reputation is good and the box office is also a hit, most people think that the box office of this movie can reach 8500 million in the Mainland, not because of the director's level How tall it is is mainly because Jiang Xiaofeng is the director and star of this movie.

In addition, "Waiting Alone" is the first movie that Zhou Jielun has starred in since his debut, and it has also attracted a large number of his fanatical fans, who went to the cinema for the second and third time.

Obviously, a large part of the success of "Waiting Alone" is due to the powerful combination of Jiang Xiaofeng and Zhou Jielun's top two generations, coupled with the guest appearances of a large group of celebrity friends, especially Jackie Chan's appearance at the end of the film, it can be called It's the biggest surprise of the film.

This is why the box office of the movie "Waiting Alone" was particularly high in the first few days before its release, and then fell quickly.

There is no other reason, the main reason is that "Waiting Alone" is a fan-oriented movie, and passers-by audiences are basically not very interested.

In contrast, although the movie "Crazy Stone" is not as high as "Waiting Alone" in terms of box office, the significance and influence of its success are incomparable to "Waiting Alone".

However, the hot sales of the two films "Crazy Stone" and "Waiting Alone" also marked that Century Film and Television Company has successfully entered the film industry and has become one of the most popular film companies at present.

May 5st, morning.

The new work of "Huaguo New Star Director" invested and led by Jiang Xiaofeng - "Crazy Stone", since its release last month, the box office has reached nearly 3000 million yuan.

Director Ning Hao seems to have become a hot new director, and he was a wonderful work in the domestic film industry in 2005, and the "stone phenomenon" became a hot topic among the public after dinner.

"Crazy Stone" quickly became the second highest-grossing domestic film in the first half of 2005, beating many Hollywood blockbusters at the same time, achieving impressive results.

As the producer, Jiang Xiaofeng is very satisfied with the outstanding performance of "Crazy Stone". He also specially set aside half a day to meet director Ning Hao, a group of cast members, and media reporters for dinner and celebration. The celebration banquet is over.

There is one thing to say, Jiang Xiaofeng is quite busy during this time, not only busy preparing for the movie "Ip Man", but also discussing with Zhang Jizhong about the cast of the new movie "The Legend of Condor Heroes", as well as several other movies , TV drama preparations.

Everyone chatted and laughed happily at the banquet, and all the staff drank freely. Jiang Xiaofeng also toasted with them, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Because several staff members of the crew are fans of Jiang Xiaofeng's fans, they knew that they were going to have dinner with Jiang Xiaofeng today, so they specially bought Jiang Xiaofeng's record and asked Jiang Xiaofeng to sign it.

Jiang Xiaofeng did not refuse, and was very happy to help them sign the record, and even wrote words of encouragement on the record box, hoping that everyone can cherish the achievements in front of them and continue to work hard to make better movies.

In an interview with reporters, Jiang Xiaofeng also solemnly stated that if he encounters other scripts of the same quality in time, he will definitely not let go of any opportunity and fully support them.

Compared with the popular idol back then and the well-known singer, Jiang Xiaofeng now feels more and more like a "tycoon" and "godfather".

The popularity of "Crazy Stone" made the world know Jiang Xiaofeng, besides singer, actor, and TV drama producer, he has another title --- film producer.

Regarding the success of "Crazy Stone", Jiang Xiaofeng is very clear-headed: "It's not my credit at all, it's the gold that always shines, even without me, Ning Hao, Huang Bo and the others will still be successful."

When asked if he would continue filming the "Crazy" series?Jiang Xiaofeng replied affirmatively: "If the conditions are right and there is a mature script, I should shoot this series of films."

"However, this question should not be asked to me, but to our Director Ning."

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng respectfully addressing himself as "Director Ning", Ning Hao felt flattered, felt unprecedented respect, and replied with a smile: "I listened to our boss, Director Jiang said to shoot, I will definitely shoot!"

As an investor and producer, Jiang Xiaofeng said sincerely: "I don't necessarily invest well, but I must do it with my heart, but I don't necessarily get good results with my heart."

"Because I led the Huaguo New Star Director Project and also invested in several other movies. For the time being, only the movie directed by Ning Hao has made money."
