No matter what you do, there are pros and cons, and the same goes for making movies.
"Crazy Stone" was praised by some, but naturally others poured cold water on it.
Huang Shi, a well-known mainland film critic, said: "In my opinion, "Crazy Stone" is a crazy farce. As the directors of this film, Ning Hao and Wang Yan, they are actually 'child laborers' and were coerced by the market prematurely. , Exploitation!¡±
"A funny movie is not a comedy. A real comedy should be like Chaplin's. After watching it, you will think about it and have a bitter smile. But this movie "Crazy Stone" does not have that. The movie just makes the three A thief keeps making fools of himself, it's a prank. But after watching it, what thoughts will you have? No! I'm sure that this kind of commercial film is just a passing cloud. After you go crazy, you won't remember anything."
"I think young directors like Wang Yan and Ning Hao should shoot more artistic films. This way they can determine their own artistic style, which will be more helpful to young directors. Such as business and market development , you can go to Zhang Yimou."
"Crazy Stone looks like a boring farce, with idiot international robbers and a trio of idiot thieves. These are all below IQ. Only the security captain has a little bit of brains, but that's it. It's just that he's not that idiotic. This is a 'battle of wits' between idiots. The lines are full of vulgarity, and swear words often appear. He has taught the children badly, and the motherland will be the flower of tomorrow, and the flower of today. "
Seeing these comments, Wang Yan felt calm now. He might have been a little angry at first, but after such a long time, he didn't care anymore.
These people have the title of professionals on their heads, but that¡¯s all. If Wang Yan scolded them from a distance, these people might be more enthusiastic.
Wang Yan is not such a good person. He ignores all these people and pretends not to see them. He treats everything they say as barking dogs and ignores them completely. He watches these people bark happily.
Indeed, Wang Yan¡¯s approach is indeed very good, especially now when the box office is still booming. If you quarrel with these seemingly decent people but don't know what they are in private, that will be the real disadvantage.
If you make a quarrel, it means you feel guilty. If you don't quarrel, no one will be able to find you. Besides, when you make a noise, you give these people a chance to become famous, and these people are eager for it. Maybe some entertainment media would ask them to interview them, which would also bring them income. Wang Yan is not that skinny.
Although it has been criticized, preached, and even criticized by some people, the movie "Crazy Stone" is still very impressive in terms of box office success, not falling behind some big productions.
In the fourth week of release, the box office dropped again, only over 7 million. But this is also a normal phenomenon. When a movie is screened nationwide, the number of moviegoers is very fixed, and there are only so many people. It is not easy to achieve today's box office.
And as the Lunar New Year holiday in the Mainland is finally approaching, some blockbusters are also being released in turn. In addition to "A World Without Thieves" by the great Mainland director Feng, Hong Kong director Xing Ye will also bring his latest masterpiece "Kung Fu" in a few days. Come to the mainland ticket warehouse to get a share of the fruits.
Therefore, this year¡¯s Lunar New Year festival is destined to be full of laughter. In the front is "Crazy Stone" by the duo Wang Yan and Ning Hao, and in the back is "Kung Fu" by the master of nonsense, Xing Ye.
And as time goes by, the movie "Crazy Stone" is gradually coming to an end. Especially with the arrival of two blockbusters, the movie "Crazy Stone" has been squeezed out of the schedule, leaving no room for profit. .
In the fifth week, the movie "Crazy Stone" finally came to an end, achieving a total box office of 49.83 million, and the total box office was announced to be 50 million.
Although everyone had already speculated about this box office success, when it was actually announced, it still shocked the entire entertainment industry. An investment of 4 million and a return of 50 million, what kind of concept is this?
The efficiency return is more than ten times, which makes some film companies red-eyed. Especially at this time, some entertainment companies have even made plans to recruit Wang Yan, Ning Hao and other people into their own companies.
Everyone in the industry knows that since Tang Ren gave Wang Yan a big holiday, and what happened next, the entertainment industry, especially those agencies that are optimistic about Wang Yan's development, have all set their sights on Wang Yan. On him.
However, Wang Yan was completely devoted to the production of the new movie and had no time for him. Moreover, at that time, these entertainment companies were also very smart and prepared to teach Wang Yan a lesson first, and not to mention themselves. Pay money and dig like thisAfter coming here, he must be very docile.
However, what they didn¡¯t expect was that Wang Yan¡¯s movie not only did not show the slightest downturn, but instead was like the sun rising in golden years.
Thinking of the cost of poaching Wang Yan now, they couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain and wished they could give themselves a few slaps.
"It's just that there's no turning back when you shoot a bow, and there's no regret medicine you can buy in the world. Even if they were unhappy and helpless, they still wanted to lure Wang Yan back to their company.
How could you miss a celebrity who can bring in 50 million box office? Even some entertainment companies that have a good relationship with Tangren are already preparing to inquire about Wang Yan to see if they can poach people.
Regardless of what the entertainment companies think, Wang Yan is indeed very proud at this time. The movie "Crazy Stone" has just come to an end, and China Film Group is preparing to give their crew a celebration banquet.
As the distributor of this film and the first theater to show it, China Film Group has indeed made a lot of money. Although there are not as many as Wang Yan and others, compared to other theater chains, they can be said to be extremely rich. It is reasonable to hold a celebration banquet for their crew.
On the second floor of a five-star hotel in the capital, many entertainment reporters have gathered. This time, China Film Group agreed to be interviewed by the media before the celebration banquet, which was great news for them.
¡°For a long time, Wang Yan and others have been living in seclusion, so these entertainment reporters have to interview in movie theaters owned by the theater chain every time, and they can¡¯t interview them in person. This makes these entertainment reporters a little angry.
But there is no way, their market is like this. Whether you like it or not, if you don't do the interview, someone else will do it, and others won't throw away this opportunity.
The celebration banquet has not yet started, but many reporters have already gathered in the hall on the second floor. This time, they all came for the crew of "Crazy Stone", or in other words, they came for Wang Yan. Of course, China Film Group also has a lot of face. Who dares not to give him face?
As time went by, some entertainment reporters were whispering to each other and passing on some gossip from time to time.
And at this moment, the door to the second floor lobby suddenly opened, and then a group of people swarmed in. Naturally, the person in the forefront is the distributor of this film, that is, the person in charge of China Film.
Followed by are Ning Hao, Wang Yan and other actors and creators from the "Stone" crew. Why did Wang Yan walk behind Ning Hao? This is still necessary. He doesn't want the details of his investment in this movie to be guessed by these entertainment reporters, otherwise there will be another storm.
??Especially at this time, they have received a lot of attention. Wang Yan can still understand the saying that going too far is not enough.
At the very end of the hall on the second floor, there is a tall promotional poster, with a huge green one exuding bursts of fluorescent emeralds, and inside there are four big heads, which are the starring roles of this movie.
" Moreover, the celebration party for this movie was not just a simple one. Even Xu Zheng, who had finished the promotion and returned to Shanghai, invited him over. It can be imagined that China Film Group attaches great importance to this promotion.
This is to send a signal to the outside world that China Film still strongly agrees with low-cost movies, and is also willing to give low-cost movies a way to survive.
Of course, this is also because the movie "Crazy Stone" became popular and inspired some leaders of China Film Group. They have made the decision to sponsor the release of some low-cost movies every year.
? said it is sponsorship, the most essential thing is profit. They see that there are big benefits in some small-budget movies. Especially the first one to eat crab is always better than the second one.
By making this gesture, they can make many people understand. China Film Group attaches great importance to mainland Chinese films, especially small-budget films, and to international productions.
From left to back, the leader of China Film Group naturally sits in the first position, the leader.
After the emcee made arrangements, the anxious reporters started taking random pictures. After all, it was a state-owned enterprise, and these reporters did not dare to act arbitrarily.
The flash lights flashed continuously, causing the newcomers and actors who had not yet had this kind of experience to have their faces tangled together. Although there was no shortage of such scenes during promotions, compared with now, they are still nothing. .
Sitting on the right side of Wang Yan is Xu Zheng. If you follow the order of starring roles in the movie, he will definitely not be listed. However, he is the most famous among them, so the crew naturally let him sit in the front position.
Smiling at Xu Zheng, Wang Yan said: "Brother Xu, how are you? This movie was accepted well, right? I hope it will be better next time."So we can work together. "
Thinking of his original decision, Xu Zheng couldn't help but feel lucky for himself. At first, his wife chose to quit because of the influence of this movie, and she also persuaded him.
It is impossible to say that I was not moved by my wife's proposal at that time.
After all, judging from the trend at the time, this movie was indeed a must-win, with an actor who had never acted in a movie considered the biggest name, a director who had never made a commercial movie, and a group of people who didn¡¯t know they were from Japan. actor? This combination does give people a feeling of being untrustworthy.
¡°However, he stayed in the end because he saw the inherent potential of the film. With many years of professional experience and his rich experience, he could tell that this film indeed had qualifications to tap.
The moment I entered the crew, this feeling was even stronger. The cohesion within the crew is very strong, and there is a vigorous vitality. This is the reason why he finally chose to stay instead of leaving.
ps: Hey, I still couldn¡¯t receive the update ticket from the deputy moderator in the end, 12,000, it hurts me! Please, just give me nine thousand.
Tomorrow, can there be thirty renewal tickets worth nine thousand? Do some math, hahaha gives me endless motivation. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
