From being on the show with my ex, it started to explode

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the cumulative box office of "Crazy Stone" exceeded 130 billion.

On this day, Lu Song also brought his creative team to Xidu for a road show.

It was now 5:00 pm.

In the screening hall that can accommodate 200 spectators, every spectator's face was filled with excited smiles, and they all looked at Lu Song and others standing on the stage.

Everyone excitedly talked about how happy they were watching the movie.

There were also some people who shouted that they had come for the second or even third time.

At this time, Lu Song suddenly held up the microphone, showed a mysterious smile to everyone in the audience and said:

"In fact, in the past few days, we can say that most of our main creators have participated in the whole process of our road show, but there is one person who is very, very important to our movie. It can be said that without him, we would not have "Crazy". "The Stone", he has not participated in our road show."

Speaking of this, Lu Song paused deliberately.

The audience in the audience looked at me and I looked at you, and their faces suddenly showed 10 points of ecstasy.

Everyone immediately realized that the person Lu Song was talking about was Song Ci.

"What do you mean? Director Lu Song, does this mean that Song Ci will appear on the scene today? No, no, no?"

"Song Ci is from Xidu. The probability of him appearing today is very high. I'll go! I really made a lot of money today. It's worth it that I grabbed today's tickets online and it still cost 300 yuan!"

"Where is Song Ci? Come out quickly, why are you so tight? My little heart is about to jump! I'm so lucky, this is it!"

Lu Song laughed loudly on the stage and said: "I didn't expect everyone to be so smart. They immediately guessed the mysterious guest we are about to appear today. Yes, he is Song Ci. Everyone welcomes him with applause!"

So amidst the enthusiastic applause that seemed to tear the entire studio apart, Song Ci walked out from behind wearing casual clothes.

He applauded while looking at everyone. He took the microphone from Lu Song, bowed to everyone with a smile, and then said:
"Today is my first public appearance in the new year, and I especially want to support our "Crazy Stone"! This drama has a box office of 1 billion, once again creating the history of our Chinese-language films! As the screenwriter of this drama, It’s a very, very honor and I would like to thank every audience member for supporting our film, thank you all!”

The scene once again burst into warm cheers and applause.

At this time, a friend from the media took the microphone from the audience, stood up, and asked Song Ci:

"Teacher Song Ci, your current creative genres can be said to be very rich and varied. There are suspense themes, comedy themes, and some realistic themes. I wonder if you will be involved in some film and television dramas in the future that have not been involved so far. Field?"

Seeing this media friend asking such a serious question, Lu Song said cheerfully before Song Ci spoke:

"This matter, in fact, not only do you want to dig something out of Song Ci's belly, I myself have been curious about where the limits of Song Ci's creation are. He can really cook all kinds of dishes! I After thinking about it, I probably haven’t touched the science fiction-themed Song poetry yet, right?”

With that said, Lu Song looked at Song Ci.

Song Ci nodded at him.

In fact, Song Ci also has some classic science fiction scripts in his mind.

However, due to the incompleteness and backwardness of the entire Chinese film industry system in the past two years, it was actually very difficult to bring out the science fiction movies in my mind.

But with the progress of the film industry system in the past two years, it is actually relatively easy to make a top-notch science fiction film.

Soon, the media reported the news that Song Ci attended the "Crazy Stone" road show in Xidu today.

[Song Ci, which has been off the screen for a long time after the Spring Festival, finally appears in front of the public! Strongly stand up for his second billion-dollar movie! "Crazy Stone" has already grossed more than 2 billion at the box office nationwide. It is reported that Song Ci's company can earn at least more than 130 billion yuan from this movie! Song Ci can be called the most profitable monster in the entire entertainment industry! 】

[At the roadshow of "Crazy Stone" in Xidu, Lu Song revealed this year's filming plan, which is to make a TV series out of the complete version of Song Ci's "Journey to the West"! It is reported that the investment in this "Journey to the West" TV series will be unprecedented, because there are many special effects of monsters and monsters. The investment in this TV series is expected to exceed 5 million, which will be the most expensive in the history of Chinese films. A TV series! 】

night.

The main creator of Song Ci and "Crazy Stone" was eating at a private restaurant in Xidu.

Lu Song held the mobile phone and took out the news in the paper, and said helplessly to Song Ci:
"These reporters are gossiping too fast. I mentioned the possibility of filming "Journey to the West", and they even revealed that we were planning to invest 5 million yuan. We didn't even mention it. It’s on the agenda, it’s too outrageous for these gay journalists to say!”

The people at the two tables at the scene burst into laughter.

Song Ci signaled Lu Song to stop playing with his phone, poured him a glass of wine, and then said:
"Director Lu, this is not the first day you have dealt with them. They are just looking for trouble and attracting traffic when they have nothing to talk about. Okay, let's not talk about them anymore. Try this dish quickly. I like it very much! "

On the second day, Lu Song did not follow the team to the next road show of "Crazy Stone".

Instead, he and Song Ci came to the company and read the finalized script of "Journey to the West" together.

The script of "Journey to the West" was not written by Song Ci.

Song Ci was written by several young screenwriters recruited by the company.

Of course, these young screenwriters adapted it from the original work of Song Ci's "Journey to the West".

Several young screenwriters, because it was their first time taking on such a big job, and it was the original work of their immediate boss, they did not dare to make random changes.

Many dialogue contents are completely copied from the original works of Song Ci.

Lu Song and Song Ci took a quick look, and then they called the entire creative team of "Journey to the West" together in the conference room. Together, they reviewed the entire project up and down.

The meeting lasted from 1:00 noon to 8:00 pm.

In the meantime, everyone also had a takeaway meal from KFC.

Only in this way can the TV series project of "Journey to the West" be initially decided.

"Song Ci, if you look at it this way, it's too exaggerated... If you really want to do this, I guess 10 billion won't be able to stop it. This budget is too scary. Are you sure this "Journey to the West" really wants to Such a huge investment!?”

Lu Song looked at the preliminary budget in front of him, his head was buzzing.

Over the years, he has made so many TV series and movies, but he has never seen a movie or TV series with a pre-production budget of more than 10 billion.

You know, that's just the cost of making it.

This does not include the cost of hiring actors.

Of course, the contracts between the main actors of "Journey to the West" and the four masters and apprentices were settled during the previous filming of the movie "The Kingdom of Women". It's not expensive for a few people.

But even so, the figure of 10 billion also made Lu Song, who had experienced many battles, couldn't help but feel frightened.

The other teams in the conference room stared at Song Ci with their mouths closed, not daring to say anything, but their hearts were constantly being shaken.

What a joke, a "Journey to the West" directly invested 10 billion!

And judging from the current script, there are only 20 episodes.

In other words, an average episode costs 5000 million.

Are you filming a TV series or are you using gold to rim this TV series?

This is too outrageous!
Song Ci saw everyone's shocked eyes.

He raised a hand and knocked on the table lightly. He looked calm and confident. He even said in a pretentious manner:

"This is the first TV series about gods and demons that our company has produced, so the special effects must be fully utilized. There is no doubt that the filming must look just like the real thing. In addition...

"In fact, we still have a good chance of protecting our capital with 10 billion. Taking a step back, even if we really lose money, I can afford it. "Crazy Stone" has made a lot of money. Even if "Crazy Stone" 》All the money is lost, but actually I don’t care!”

Song Ci's current expression is exactly the same as "I don't care about money, I don't know what money looks like".

If this expression were placed on a slightly uglier person's face, he would look particularly stinky and in need of a beating.

But Song Ci's handsome face looked so smart that people couldn't help but believe it.

Everyone present at the meeting looked at me and I looked at you, and they all started talking quietly. They were all shocked by Song Ci's decision.

"Boss! As expected of a boss, when will I be able to casually take out one billion without blinking an eye!"

"I don't dare to think about it! I don't dare to think about it at all! If we spend 10 billion to shoot a TV series, if we lose money, we will really lose it to my grandma's family! But if it were our boss, it is indeed... think about it carefully. It doesn’t matter, let’s stop talking and save money for our boss, as long as he pays us wages anyway!”

"That's what I say, but the more I think about it, the more outrageous it becomes!"

Lu Song waved his hands to everyone, stood up, and his eyes became extremely serious.

He even stretched out his two hands to grab Song Ci's right hand and shook it hard twice, and then said word by word like an oath:

"Originally, I thought about filming a TV series and it would be easy, but now that you have thrown away the 10 billion, I feel that the burden on my shoulders is too heavy. Don't worry! I must have used 120% of my seriousness to make this A "Journey to the West" film will be made for you!"

In the end, "Crazy Stone" successfully won the box office championship during this year's Spring Festival with a box office of 137 billion.

The second place behind it only received a box office of less than 2 billion.

The combined box office revenue of several movies of the same period was only over 40 billion.

This shows what kind of existence "Crazy Stone" is in this Spring Festival.

This 137 billion box office has also successfully made "Crazy Stone" the number one box office movie in Chinese film history, and it has also ranked fifth in the global box office list.

This shocking news instantly spread throughout the film and television circles around the world.

Especially those in Hollywood were shocked by this number.

"This Song Dynasty poem is so scary. The previous "Saw" created a myth for us. This time, it actually used a comedy to get the fifth highest box office in the history of film in China. Results, what kind of monster is this person?"

"There are only a few months between the release of "Saw" and "Crazy Stone". Song Ci is making money faster than the money printing machine!"

"The talent of this Chinese is simply unstoppable. But I watched the trailer for this kind of comedy. Foreigners like us, as they call it, will definitely not be able to understand it, but it is possible to win such a huge number of votes in a single box office." The average box office results show how huge the Chinese film market is! We must now focus more on Asia, especially the 34 billion people in China, which is a huge ticket warehouse!"

Even many Hollywood media have reported on this matter.

Suddenly, these keywords [Song Ci, Crazy Stone, and Chainsaw] became hot topics in Hollywood, and everyone was talking about them.

Some foreign reporters even contacted Song Ci specifically and asked when Song Ci was going to officially break into Hollywood.

After all, he already had a successful precedent with "Saw".

Facing the foreign reporter, Song Ci just said calmly:
"If there is a suitable film, I certainly hope it can be released simultaneously around the world. This time, "Crazy Stone" may have many laughs that only Chinese audiences can understand, so we have not released it globally for the time being. , but there will definitely be a lot of opportunities in the future, and I hope that fans around the world who like my movies can rest assured!"

On the other side, Song Ci handed over the manuscript of Xie Lingyun's novel to Chang'an Publishing House.

Then he got on the plane and flew to Shangjing City, preparing to participate in the finals of this story conference.

The 13 finalists from 13 states across the country gathered in a large studio 13 kilometers away from CCTV.

Today, in addition to Song Ci and other 13 contestants.

There are also top actors and directors from China’s entertainment industry.

They are all selected from thirteen states in the world.

After all, it has been announced a long time ago that in addition to the overall champion of the story conference being born from the 13 contestants, the actors and directors will also have champions selected simultaneously.

This is the best actor and best director at the Story Conference. Different from the domestic Golden Dragon Award and White Jade Award, this is also the first award for actors and directors in the Story Conference in so many years.

Therefore, all the actors and directors who have been shortlisted for the finals are very eager for this award.

At this time, everyone was sitting in their seats.

The whole theater was bright and bright.

There were a lot of cameras pointing at everyone.

Tang Shi and Sikouxue sat together, looking around. (End of chapter)
