Chapter 227 This film isn't directed by Xu Lu; he only wrote the script. What's there to be afraid of?



Compared to the gloomy and desolate modern poetry scene.

On the other hand, Daxu Culture presents a thriving scene.

Although President Xu unexpectedly handed over the potentially blockbuster film 'Stone' to a newly signed new director.

He himself went off to film 'Kung Fu,' a movie whose script didn't seem particularly special.

But what's done is done, and all we can do is hope that both films will have a good outcome.

We don't know about 'Kung Fu' yet, because filming is still ongoing.

But everyone is already looking forward to 'Crazy Stone'.

Because 'Stone' has already finished filming and post-production, it's just waiting for its release to rake in box office revenue.

"How much do you think our company's investment in 'Crazy' will gross at the box office?"

"I don't know, but the script looks pretty good. It should be able to gross at least 100 million!"

"If it's over 100 million, then in terms of the multiplier, it would be a huge profit."

Keep in mind that the total budget for this film was only around five million, and nearly half of that went to marketing.

"We'll definitely make money, it's just a bit of a pity that it's not a film directed by Mr. Xu himself."

Otherwise, I think he would earn even more, after all, Mr. Xu's reputation as a billion-dollar director is undeniable!

"Yeah, I don't quite understand what Mr. Xu was thinking. He went off to film kung fu, really..."

"Fortunately, it's still thanks to Mr. Xu's writing."

It's just strange that he wrote about the 'stone' so brilliantly, but the 'kung fu' so mediocrely!"

...

At Daxu Culture, the employees were all puzzled, but no one knew the answer.

Producer Feng Xiaoxia and others were all very puzzled.

Fortunately, "Crazy Stone" is about to be released, which is ultimately a great joy.

When it was confirmed that the day after tomorrow would be the opening day, everyone was already looking forward to the box office results.

Although Daxu Culture is now somewhat well-known in the industry, it has only released one film since its inception.

It grossed 1.5 billion at the box office.

If Mr. Xu had been able to make another movie to maintain his success, his fame would be much, much greater than it is now.

Unfortunately, Mr. Xu is quite adept at playing the field. After filming "Summer's Depression," he actually went on to film martial arts movies.

For a full six months, not a single movie was released.

Although his "The Return of the Condor Heroes" series has a greater influence than a movie.

Moreover, game companies have already approached them, wanting to obtain the license and then develop online and PC games based on the Condor Heroes series.

In terms of profitability, The Condor Heroes also has great potential.

But the gaming and film industries are not the same thing.

Therefore, the people at Da Xu Culture have high expectations for the release of the movie "Stone".

...

at the same time.

Other film and entertainment companies in the industry that have movies scheduled for release recently have also taken notice of this matter.

For example, the 'Crazy Movies' site.

At this time, Zhang Baochang, the producer of 'Blue Star Cataclysm', was making suggestions to the company's CEO.

They're considering delaying the release of 'Blue Star Cataclysm' by a week to avoid clashing with Da Xu Culture's 'Stone'.

Zhang Baochang is mature and steady. He still vividly remembers the time when Xia Lifei Film and Television was brutally defeated by "Da Xu".

Therefore, he was still a little afraid of Da Xu Culture's promotion.

However, the arrogant CEO Lin Ting showed disdain at this moment, saying:

"Old Zhang, I think you're just too cautious. You're so scared by a little Xu culture. You're really pathetic."

Yes, that director named Xu Lu is really talented. I also watched "Summer's Depression," and it was excellent.

If it's a film he directs himself, we'll postpone it if we can.

But this time it's just a movie developed under Daxu Culture, and it wasn't directed by Xu Lu himself.

I heard the director is a newcomer, what are you afraid of?

Our Kuangbiao Film and Television is quite well-known in the industry, at least better than Daxu Culture, right?

"No changes. Our 'Blue Star Cataclysm' will be released at the same time as their 'Crazy Stone'."

Seeing how confident the boss was, Zhang Baochang wanted to offer some advice:

"But……"

"There are no 'buts' anymore, Lao Zhang, this matter is settled."

And have you ever thought about how industry professionals would view us if we postponed the release, and how Lin Ting would be able to continue working in the industry?

I'm confident in the 'Blue Star Cataclysm,' and I'll be able to crush that huge 'stone' when it happens."

Lin Ting leaned back, clearly indicating that he had no intention of continuing the current topic of discussion.

Seeing this, Zhang Baochang sighed, but didn't say anything more.

Actually, he also had a little bit of expectation in his heart.

really.

If I were to go head-to-head with that genius director named Xu Lu, I really wouldn't have any confidence at all.

However, if it's just a script directed by a new director from Daxu Culture, then Zhang Baochang feels much less pressure.

"And I heard that the director named Xu Lu is currently filming another movie called 'Kung Fu'."

So this 'stone' must have been created by that new director; perhaps Mr. Lin is right!

Thinking of this, Zhang Baochang felt his confidence return.

...

Time flies.

It was almost the evening of the third day.

Whenever they had free time, all the employees of Daxu Culture went to the cinema to watch movies.

This is considered as adding to the box office revenue of "Stone". Anyway, I don't have to pay for it myself, as the company will reimburse me for everything.

Moreover, compared to 'Xia Luo', 'Shi Tou' had a much better start.

When 'Summer Fall' was first released, Daxu Culture was completely unknown.

The theaters didn't give 'Summer Fall' many screenings.

However, now that "Stone" has been released, Daxu Culture has already gained considerable fame in the industry.

The number of screenings naturally increased accordingly, and it also capitalized on the popularity of "President Xu".

With many factors at play, everyone predicts that 'Crazy Stone' will not have a low opening day box office.

Whether it can stabilize in the future depends on the quality of the product.

After all, viewers may initially be drawn to a brand's reputation, but ultimately, it's the quality that matters.

Outside the movie theater.

A group of young people were queuing up to buy tickets, discussing among themselves:

"I heard that the script for 'Crazy Stone' was written by director Xu Lu. Shall we go see it?"

"But I like watching science fiction movies. Cataclysm is a science fiction movie, and Crazy Stone is not directed by Director Xu himself. I heard that he is a newcomer."

"Yeah, that's true. It's such a dilemma. If Director Xu Lu were to direct it himself, then we wouldn't hesitate and could just choose it, but..."

"How about we split up and go see them separately? Whoever wants to see whichever movie they want can buy a ticket for, and then we can meet back here afterward."

"Okay! I'll watch the Blue Star Cataclysm then. Anyone want to watch it with me?"

“I’m going to see ‘Crazy Stone’. Even if it’s not directed by Xu Lu himself, he wrote the script, so it shouldn’t be bad.”
