This star’s style is wrong

"Crazy Stone" was released for 26 days, and the box office exceeded 2 billion.

And the box office stamina is very strong, with a box office of 20 million yuan every day, and the box office can double on weekends.

Therefore, the theater agreed to postpone "Crazy Stone" for one month.

Generally speaking, movies are released for a month, and then they are released from theaters and released online.

However, there are also some movies that have strong box office stamina and will be postponed.

"Crazy Stone" does have a lot of staying power. One of the reasons is that the leading actor is not well-known, so the audience did not plan to watch it at first. They only found time to watch it after seeing the high ratings of the film.

Moreover, "Crazy Stone" has indeed exploded in word-of-mouth. When passers-by saw the reviews of film critics, they even thought it was too outrageous.

However, after they went to the cinema to watch it, they felt that "Crazy Stone" could withstand this kind of evaluation.

"Crazy Stone" has been trending on WeChat Moments for a month, with everyone following it.

It makes this summer, if you don't watch "Crazy Stone", it's like you haven't had a summer vacation at all.

Therefore, in August, there are still audiences going to the cinema to watch "Crazy Stone".

Although the stamina is sufficient in the movie, it has almost reached the limit after one month of release.

After the total box office reached 2.3 billion, the single-day box office of "Crazy Stone" also dropped to 7 or 8 million, and the final box office is expected to reach 2.4 billion.

With a box office of 2.4 billion, this was Fang Xing’s first movie and the answer he delivered.

The film industry is very real.

In this industry, works are the biggest voice.

Fang Xing's achievements in the field of TV dramas were not recognized by the film industry, but now he has made a box office of 2.4 billion with a comedy film without top-tier actors.

He immediately gained recognition from the film industry and made a name for himself in the film industry.

…

It’s not just director Fang Xing.

Several leading actors who were not well-known before have soared in popularity.

In the past, Guo Shi was an eighteenth-tier actor. After working in this industry for twenty years, he still could not get a familiar role.

However, "Crazy Stone" became popular, and his popularity also increased.

Many film and television companies came to invite him to film. In just one month, he received several scripts.

and.

In the entertainment industry, movie celebrities have a much higher status than TV celebrities.

Guo Shi became famous overnight and became a movie star.

If he acted in a TV series now, it would be considered a dimensionality reduction blow.

It’s not just actors who were originally unknown who became famous.

Even the king of Xiangjiang, Liang Youhua, has won the love of many audiences in the mainland because of this movie.

Originally, Liang Youhua came to guest star in "Crazy Stone" for the sake of Penguin Pictures President Zhang Changfeng.

At first, he was just returning Zhang Changfeng's favor and never thought about what he could gain from this movie.

After all, he is already a superstar. If he makes a guest appearance in a movie with low investment, he will not be able to get any big promotion from this movie.

However, "Crazy Stone" still gave him a little surprise.

His phrase "I'll beat your lungs out!" became a buzzword this summer.

Now you can see this sentence everywhere on the Internet.

Whenever netizens encounter something they want to complain about, they can just say: "I'll give you a thumbs up!"

Even the picture of Liang Youhua taking off his sunglasses and saying this line has been made into an emoticon package and is active in various online communities and communication software.

The funniest thing is that Liang Youhua once participated in an event in Donghai and met an elderly square dance aunt.

The aunt recognized him, but couldn't pronounce his name, so she said directly: "You are the one... I'm so scared!"

This sounds like a curse.

However, many actors who have had popular roles have had this experience.

Passers-by you meet on the street may not necessarily be able to call the actor's real name, but they can call Hong's character name.

Therefore, Liang Youhua was not surprised at all and gave the aunt her autograph.

…

One month after the release of "Crazy Stone", the subsequent box office has basically stabilized, and the promotion continues, but the effect is not obvious.

Therefore, the crew and crew, who have been running road shows for more than a month, are officially on vacation.

Fang Xing was rarely at home during the day.

When Qian Qian saw her father during the day, she jumped up in surprise, took her father's hand and ran to the piano room: "Dad sings, dad sings, dad sings..."

The little girl is almost three years old, and she is full of cleverness.

I already know that there are delicious things in the refrigerator, so I often drag my grandparents to the refrigerator and point to the refrigerator door.

It is not suitable for children to eat too many snacks, otherwise they will refuse to eat.

Therefore, every time Fang Xing saw him, he would order him not to open the refrigerator door.

It’s just that the grandparents dote on their granddaughter so much that they often give her to her secretly.

Fang Xing often couldn't help but complain: "When I was a kid, why didn't I see you secretly buying me snacks?"

Then, Fang’s mother would come back with a lot of words and lectures.

…

Since the guaranteed box office contract signed with Penguin Pictures is 2 billion, "Crazy Stone" has already reached the box office requirements of the contract.

Therefore, the final accounts will be divided according to the normal proportion.

This time, the total box office of "Crazy Stone" reached 2.4 billion, and the box office share available to the producers was 860 million.

Among the 860 million, it needs to be divided among several film and television investment companies according to the investment ratio.

In addition, Fang Xing's initial director's contract was for the top dollar, which was 15 million plus a 7% share ratio.

Therefore, coupled with Fang Xing’s share of the director’s share, Ark Culture can eventually earn more than 600 million yuan in profit.

In this project, Ark Culture only invested 50 million, but made a profit of more than 600 million.

A tenfold return rate is simply a golden project in the film industry.

therefore.

As soon as "Crazy Stone" came out, Ark Culture's status was instantly established in the film industry.

…

the other side.

"Dark Ones 2" has been airing for several months, and no new drama projects have been launched yet.

Ark Culture's film and television production department, together with Zhang Yigao, has begun actively looking for new projects.

As a content output company, Ark Culture currently focuses on TV series for most of its projects.

Therefore, many film and television companies will take the initiative to contact us and seek cooperation.

Ark Culture's film and television production department receives several scripts every month. If there is a suitable script, they will also meet with the scriptwriting team to chat.

The same goes for Wang Yutao. After the broadcast of "Ancient Acacia", he has not made a feature film for half a year. He continues to be responsible for the company's singers' MVs and commercials.

Now the film and television production department has screened out two scripts and is preparing to film a costume drama.

However, the film and television production department couldn't decide which script to choose, so they wanted Qiao Yinghong to make the decision.

Qiao Yinghong read two scripts and had the same difficulty.

These two scripts look okay, but there is no way to say how good they are.

Qiao Yinghong had no choice but to show it to Fang Xing and said, "These are two scripts selected by the film and television production department. Their idea is to change one of the scripts into an ancient puppet and let Zhang Yigao film it."

After the Ark Culture crew finished filming "Crazy Stone", there have been no new projects for several months.

For a company to develop healthily, it needs to make the company departments run.

Therefore, new projects must be opened.

Fang Xing briefly read the beginnings of the two scripts, shook his head and said, "The plot is a bit cliche."

Qiao Yinghong nodded and said: "Audiences don't mind the clichéd plot, and for ancient puppets, the lower limit is high. If Zhang Yigao is allowed to film it, it will be profitable no matter what."

For Qiao Yinghong, as long as the project is guaranteed to be profitable, it is considered a success.

Then filming ancient puppets is the best choice. As long as you find a few actors who suit the audience's taste, you can make a profit from the film.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, neither of these scripts will be filmed. I have a script here. Please inform me that there will be a meeting tomorrow and ask both Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao to come."

…

the next day.

Ark Culture Film and Television Production Department meeting.

Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao both received the notice and guessed that there might be a new play coming, so they came to the conference room early.

Fang Xing came to the conference room on time and said, "Let's get started."

Qiao Yinghong first summarized the results of several TV series and movies produced this year, and then turned to the main topic today:

"Currently, the company needs a new project to produce a script selected by the film and television production department. I showed it to my boss. The boss was not very satisfied and decided to produce a new script.

"I haven't seen the script. How to prepare the specific new project depends on the boss's arrangements."

Fang Xing took over the topic and said: "The "Ancient Acacia" filmed by Yu Tao previously received a good response. In terms of ancient costume art, I am very satisfied.

“So, let’s make a costume drama this time.

"My plan is to make a full-length film with more than 70 episodes.

“I have high expectations for this project, so my idea is to have Yigao and Yu Tao collaborate on filming together, with me as the producer.

"Of course, it also depends on what you two think."

Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao did not expect this arrangement, and they had unexpected expressions on their faces.

The two looked at each other, and Zhang Yigao said first: "I have no objection. Yu Tao and I have known each other for more than ten years, and there is no problem in our cooperation. Right, Yu Tao?"

Currently, Wang Yutao has only filmed one feature film, "Ancient Acacia".

However, he has very good control over the costume styling and shots.

Fang Xing likes his aesthetic of costume shots, but this time the script requires more than 70 episodes, which may not be enough given his directorial experience.

That's why Fang Xing decided to let the two of them film together.

Wang Yutao has only filmed one film, "Ancient Lovesickness", and has not yet become a popular director. Now he is satisfied as long as he has movies to shoot.

Besides, he and Zhang Yigao have worked together with Fang Xing for so many years and have always had a good working understanding, so they have no objection to this arrangement.

"Yes, I have no problem." Wang Yutao immediately nodded in agreement.

…

In fact, in the film and television industry, many directors don't like two directors working together to make a drama.

If two people have different opinions, conflicts can easily arise.

If the conflict escalates, it may lead to a direct fight.

The more talented a director is, the more he hopes that the entire work will follow his ideas.

but.

Here at Fang Xing, there is no need to worry about this situation.

Originally, Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao had known each other for more than ten years and worked as assistant directors on Fang Xing's crew for six or seven years.

There is a tacit working understanding.

As for the differences between two people's ideas, they can be easily resolved.

Fang Xing serves as the producer, and when the two people disagree, it is Fang Xing who has the final say.

Even when Zhang Yigao was filming a drama alone, Fang Xing would check in with the filming progress after a period of time and ask for modifications if he was not satisfied with it.

This cooperation model is already very mature.

Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao never considered whether Fang Xing's decision was right.

Fang Xing has already swept the three major TV drama award ceremonies. With such strength, he would be mentally ill to question it.

Therefore, when Fang Xing proposed that the two of them collaborate on a drama, they both agreed without much hesitation.

…

The reason why the two of them collaborated on this film is mainly because this drama has higher requirements on the director than the previous dramas they filmed.

The acting requirements for actors are no less than those in movies.

Fang Xing initially considered filming in person, but now that he has entered the film industry, he decided to focus more on movies.

The TV series was shot by an assistant director who has been with him for many years.

However, Fang Xing's requirements for actors' acting skills this time are higher than those in previous dramas, so he will personally participate in the early auditions for actors.

Moreover, Fang Xing is not just a producer this time, but a supervisor, and will follow the shooting situation more closely.

…

The meeting continues.

Since neither Zhang Yigao nor Wang Yutao received the script, Zhang Yigao took the initiative and asked: "Boss, do you already have the script?"

"We only have the scripts for the first 30 episodes now, and I will give you the rest of the scripts before filming starts."

Fang Xing said, taking out a printed script on A4 paper and handing it to the two of them.

Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao took it and took a look at the cover.

There is a line of poetry printed on the cover, "Know it or not, it should be green, fat, red and thin."

The meeting was not over yet, so the two just opened the script and scanned two pages without having time to read it in detail.

Fang Xing continued: "I value this script very much. I had thought about filming it myself before. Then I saw the drama you filmed and thought you might be competent, so I gave it to you to give it a try.

“However, there is one thing I want to say up front.

"I don't allow this script to be poorly shot. If I feel dissatisfied when I'm supervising the production, I may take over and shoot it myself."

When Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao heard this, they immediately felt pressured.

Their expressions became serious and they said solemnly: "Don't worry, boss, I will do my best."

If they really fail to shoot well and Fang Xing takes over and shoots it himself, their status in the directing industry will decline drastically by then.

Zhang Yigao has already made three popular TV dramas, "Dark One", "Dark One 2" and "Remaining Crime", and is now a popular director in the TV drama industry.

At this time, if the guide tube was knocked off, it would be a big loss.

Therefore, even if he risked his life, he could not let this happen.

Fang Xing calmed down his expression and calmed their nerves: "Don't be too nervous. Since I've left it to you, I believe in your ability to do it well.

"Besides, when it comes to casting, I will personally participate in the audition and check the casting carefully. It will be much easier during filming."

The two nodded together: "Okay, we have no problem. We will definitely film this script well."
