Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 177 Crazy 8 Months

Chinese film history will remember the summer of 2006.

July belongs to "Crazy Stone".

August belongs to "Rising Fame"!
At 4 pm on the 6th, the distributor of "Rise of Fame" and the relevant person in charge of China Film Group announced the box office of "Rise of Fame" on the first day.

260 million!
The madness of "Fame" surpassed that of "Crazy Stone" - the first day score surpassed the first weekend score of "Stone".

If "Stone" is a "miracle", then "Rising Fame" is "a miracle of miracles"!
As soon as the results of the first day came out, Wang Zhonglei felt regretful!

Why didn't you vote for "Rising Fame" at the beginning!
Why do you feel that "Rising Fame" does not conform to Huayi's comedy style!

As long as a small number of hundreds of thousands and one million votes are cast, now "Rising Fame" will have its own share of the scenery!
And the four major investors of "Rise of Fame": Zhang Yuanjun's Studio, Qingying Studio, China Film and Galloping Horse, all smile crookedly!

Without Zhang Yuanjun's studio urging, theater managers from all over the country have asked China Film to increase the copy.

The distribution director of China Film Group in charge of "Rising Fame" has been bombarded by calls from film companies and theater managers from various provinces.

"Old Liu, Sichuan Province, give me two more copies, no, five copies!"

"Mr. Liu, add two more from Shancheng, and I'll send someone to get them tomorrow."

"Brother Liu, you are my own brother, give me two more copies."

"I don't care! Your factory is too busy, I can't wait for you, add three more."

"Don't worry about whether I can eat or not, the copy is worth a penny of yours, and you can get me two more."

"You go and steal it, I don't care how you get the copy, I have tens of thousands of viewers waiting to watch the film."

"You give two for a place as small as a mountain city. Is the market in Lu Province bigger than him? Give me four. I'll fly over at night and I'll want them tomorrow."

"Old Deng is bragging, he's not afraid of dying with five, you give me these five, and I'll treat you to a drink at the meeting at the end of the year."

The managers of various theaters snapped up copies, and at the same time, the main creators of "Rising Fame" also embarked on the road of publicity again.

This result is enough for everyone in the crew to push forward with all their energy.

Especially the director Tian Zhuang.

He was banned from teaching before, feeling aggrieved and bored, and because he couldn't get used to the fast-paced dogs in the circle, he had to go back to school to teach.

But in fact, he is very reluctant to part with the audience. Although "Fame and Li Wan" is not his previous style of ideological expression, when he saw the first day's score of 260 million, he felt the audience's re-approval of him.

This is a full affirmation of the 54-year-old him!

He led the crew to the front line of publicity.

The next day, Friday, "Rising Fame" earned 430 million.

Entering the weekend, the climax of movie viewing across the country is coming, and the daily receipt of 720 million is a good result!
Over ten million in three days!
On Sunday, another 670 million will be collected!
Early on Monday morning, Director Han personally announced to the outside world: "Although the exact figures have not yet been calculated, it is certain that the box office of "Rising Fame" will exceed 2000 million in the first weekend!"

The film world fell into a frenzy.

"Rise to Fame" is even crazier than "Stone"!
"Stone" achieved results in one month, while "Fame and Li Wan" only took 4 days.

On the same day, the Film Academy issued a happy announcement on its official website:

"Congratulations to our school's 02 undergraduate students for their graduation drama, the box office of the theater movie "Rising Fame" broke through 2000 million in the first weekend!"

It's a success for the film, and it's a success for the academy!
02 Biaoben handed over a perfect graduation work for his alma mater!

02 The watch has really become famous!
The overall cost of the movie was 470 million, and it was successfully profitable in the first weekend and triggered a movie-watching frenzy.

It's true that small things can make big things, exciting!

In the second week of the film's release, it continued to rush forward with breaking momentum.

However, due to the influence of "Garfield 11", which was released on Friday, the 2th, the box office growth rate of the second weekend has declined.

But even so, "Rising Fame" still scored a high box office of 1700 million in the second week, and the total score was close to 4000 million!
This is an achievement that domestic films have never achieved.

The domestic films mentioned here refer to mainland films.

"Rise to Fame" is a mainland film with extremely pure pedigree. From the director to the actors to the behind-the-scenes staff, "Rise to Fame" does not use a single person from Hong Kong, Taiwan or overseas.

To put it in a small way, "Rising Fame" and "Stone" are both examples of small and big.

On a bigger scale, "Rising Fame" tells the outside world that as long as the story is good, as long as the team is professional and united, the audience will still like to watch it. Who said that only Hong Kong and Taiwan actors can make money, but mainland actors can also do it!
The production team returned to the capital, and at a symposium organized by the General Administration, such a good result, the General Administration must hold a seminar. "Stone" did not have such treatment. Director Tian Zhuang spoke as a representative of the production team. He said with emotion:
"In fact, movies also have shortcomings. Our crew is quite poor. In order to reduce costs, we had to use digital shooting. If we could invest 80 more and replace it with film cameras, the imaging effect of "Rising Fame" would be even better. "

Tong Ju said: "We really need to pay attention to this issue. How to guide film investment, we can't say that I have a good story, but because of money problems, the film cannot be produced, or the filming effect is not good."

"We can't keep our eyes on blockbuster movies. We need to make blockbuster movies, but many of our directors and crews don't have the conditions to make blockbuster movies. We must actively invest in small and medium-cost commercial movies like "Stone" and "Rise of Fame". Guide and expand investment channels. We will have another meeting to discuss this later.”

At the end of the seminar, Tong Ju made a summary: "This summer vacation, the success of the two films "Stone" and "Rise of Fame" gave a shot in the arm to the sluggish domestic film market. In addition to the excellent quality of the films, I found that you two All crews have one thing in common, that is, regardless of personal gain or loss, making a good movie is the first priority. As far as I know, many of your actors are paid very low salaries, and the salaries of the staff are not very high. I think this spirit is the key to your success.”

After the meeting, Tong Ju and Zhang Yuanjun talked for a while alone, and praised him a few words.

""Rise of Fame" is very good, do it well. If you have any difficulties, tell the bureau."

"Nothing else, but the crew is too poor to afford good equipment." Zhang Yuanjun laughed.

Tong Ju was amused: "You kid is crying poor with me, but I know you just bought a villa."

"With the money from the family, the crew is still poor." Zhang Yuanjun laughed.

"After "Rise to Fame", you will really become famous, and you won't be short of money." Tong Ju joked.

After talking and joking, everyone broke up.

Zhang Yuanjun ran with the crew for another three days, and returned to the magic capital "Animal World" crew on the afternoon of the 17th with Luo Jin.

In the morning, he was still promoting "Fame and Li Wan" in a movie theater in Shanghai.

As soon as he returned to the crew, he was warmly welcomed by his colleagues. The only heroine, Liu Yifei, as a representative, even sent him and Luo Jin a bouquet of flowers to celebrate the box office success of "Rising Fame".

"Thank you, thank you. I'm sorry for delaying the shooting for more than 20 days. I'll invite you to have a supper tonight." Zhang Yuanjun apologized.
