night.
Around 8:30.
The press conference for the premiere has finally come to an end.
With a snap!
The lights in the movie theater dimmed instantly, leaving only the screen directly opposite lit up.
The crowd immediately fell silent.
Immediately afterwards, the logo of Star Cinema lit up on the screen.
As music started playing, the movie "Crazy Stone" began to play.
The story begins with Bao Shihong, played by Guo Tao, visiting a urologist, followed by a modern, poetic narration, and then the bespectacled chairman, played by Wang Xun, makes his entrance.
To be honest, the beginning of the movie "Crazy Stone" is not amazing, nor is it particularly attractive.
But as the story unfolds, the subsequent plot twists and turns, full of humor and wit, making the audience burst into laughter.
"Hahaha... This is too funny! My brother Dao is awesome!"
"Guo Tao's portrayal of the security chief is also superb!"
"Brand: Baleno!"
"Hahaha...that's hilarious!"
"So BMW is saying 'Don't touch me,' the screenwriter is really talented."
"The director's montage technique is truly exceptional; this film is sure to be a huge hit."
"......."
Several film critics sitting in the cinema were amazed by the plot and filming techniques of the movie. Even though the movie was only halfway through, they felt that it was bound to be a hit.
As Huang Bo's character, Hei Pi, accompanies Dao Ge to steal jade, the plot is full of laughs, keeping the audience glued to the screen.
"Hahaha....."
Laughter frequently erupted from inside the movie theater.
Director Ning Hao's face lit up with a slight smile. He knew that his film had been a success, and he figured the box office would be no lower than that of his previous film, "Dying to Survive."
For a moment, Ning Hao couldn't help but turn to look at Xu Zheng beside him, whose bald head seemed to gleam brightly in his eyes.
Xu Zheng was watching the movie on the screen intently, unaware of the director Ning Hao's gaze.
Although he had relatively little screen time in this film.
But Xu Zheng also hopes that this film will be a huge hit, so that his salary for the next movie can increase significantly.
In the front row, Su Zhengnan turned his head and glanced around, and found that the two seats that originally belonged to Deputy Director Feng were occupied by two young girls who looked somewhat similar to Deputy Director Feng.
Could they be Deputy Director Feng's two daughters?
Su Zhengnan made some guesses to himself, and then stopped paying attention to the two girls.
Liu Yifei sat to the side, covering her mouth and chuckling softly, clearly amused by the scene in the film. She turned and whispered in Su Zhengnan's ear:
"Brother Su, how did you come up with this script? It's too funny! Is this what you call dark humor?"
"How else could I have figured it out? Of course, I figured it out with my brain!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and pointed to the movie screen.
Liu Yifei: "......."
The movie was still playing on the screen, and as the plot unfolded, the audience in the cinema couldn't stop laughing.
Overall, "Crazy Stone" was a low-budget film.
However, its value is immeasurable, no less than that of big-budget films.
As a comedy film, the use of dialect dialogue throughout the film enhances its comedic effect.
Dao Ge's Hebei dialect, Mike's Cantonese, Hei Pi's Qingdao dialect, plus the local Sichuan dialect—all sorts of dialects are mixed together in one pot, assaulting the audience's auditory nerves.
The final scene of the movie shows Huang Bo's character, Hei Pi, robbing a loaf of bread, and then being chased by the baker on an electric scooter.
In short, the movie "Crazy Stone" was a hit!
Judging from the audience's reaction, it's no less impressive than "Dying to Survive".
Of course, these two films are completely different in genre.
Therefore, there is no basis for comparison.
Su Zhengnan accompanied Liu Yifei through the entire movie, and then left the theater early.
He didn't want to be surrounded by a crowd of spectators and reporters later on.
Sure enough, just as Su Zhengnan and Liu Yifei stepped out of the movie theater, a burst of enthusiastic applause rang out behind them, followed by a swarm of audience members and reporters who blocked the way for director Ning Hao and his entourage.
"Luckily we ran fast, otherwise we probably wouldn't be able to get out now."
Su Zhengnan smiled and said to Liu Yifei, holding her little hand:
"I think it's getting late. How about we grab some food first, and then I'll take you home?"
"Okay, I'll do whatever Brother Su says."
Liu Yifei smiled and nodded in response.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan took her to a nice restaurant, and the two of them had dinner together.
After dinner, the two held hands and took a walk outside.
It wasn't until after 11 p.m. that Su Zhengnan drove Liu Yifei home.
at the same time.
The box office of "Crazy Stone" has entered a frenzy.
Countless viewers laughed so hard they couldn't stop after watching "Crazy Stone," but once they left the theater, they felt like they had forgotten where they were laughing. In short, they felt that the movie was very good.
As a result, many viewers went back and bought tickets to watch "Crazy Stone" a second time.
Unlike the heavy medical issues in "Dying to Survive", "Crazy Stone" is a dark comedy, making it easier for audiences to watch it repeatedly.
Although "Dying to Survive" is a very good movie, its subject matter is too heavy, and viewers who watch it once are unlikely to buy tickets to watch it a second time.
But the film "Crazy Stone" is completely different!
Just like Stephen Chow's comedies, they are addictive and make people want to watch the jokes repeatedly.
As a result, the film "Crazy Stone" became a box office hit.
However, due to the limited screening schedule, it is difficult for viewers who want to watch the movie repeatedly to buy tickets for three or four viewings in a short period of time.
Many viewers have begun to complain to cinemas that the film is being shown in far too few theaters.
So, after a short period of consideration, the cinemas immediately increased the screening rate of "Crazy Stone" to 35%, which means that the film was shown for about a third of the day.
It's gone viral!
Crazy Stone has become a huge hit!
This delighted director Ning Hao and the group of lead actors.
Meanwhile, Su Zhengnan went home, took a shower, and went straight to sleep, without paying any attention to the subsequent box office results.
