In this chapter, I thank God for his constant reward and encouragement!

After the premiere in Beijing, Crazy Stone finally landed in major theaters to meet the audience under the spotlight. After the premiere, Shao Shuaijun stayed in the distribution department of Huayi Brothers, waiting for feedback on box office information. 8
The 15th of the month is a Sunday. "Spider-Man 2" is still showing its influence, "Shrek 2" is starting to show its strength, and "Ghost 2" is also emerging. The film schedule of "Crazy Stone" has been affected to some extent. It was originally scheduled to be 30%
of film arrangement, and now only get less than 25% of the film arrangement.
Sunday's box office will be directly related to the future film schedule of "Crazy Stone". Not only Shao Shuaijun is worried, Wang Zhonglei is also waiting for the report in the distribution department.
"Xiao Shao, what are your plans after this movie? Are there any new shooting plans?" While waiting, Wang Zhonglei asked casually.
Shao Shuaijun's heart moved: "It sounds like there really is a plan."
"Oh, tell me."
"I have a new script called "Crazy Racing". It is a comedy of the same type as "Crazy Stone". The investment amount may reach 10 million. It is planned to be produced with the original team of Stone, but everything has to wait until
Only when "Crazy Stone" is successful will filming be confirmed."
"Don't worry, "Crazy Stone" will definitely be a big success. Ten million investment for a new movie is a bit too much. Do you need me to invest?"
"Mr. Wang, if the new movie starts shooting, I will only serve as the producer and will choose a new director. If Mr. Wang is not afraid of losing money, we can discuss it then."
"That's okay." Wang Zhonglei was a little hesitant when he heard that it wasn't Shao Shuaijun who was filming.
As the two of them were talking, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and Zhao Cheng ran in shouting: "Mr. Wang, Director Shao, the first day's box office is out!"
"How much?" Wang Zhonglei and Shao Shuaijun said in unison.
Zhao Cheng stretched out a finger and shook it: "This is the number."
"one million?"
"No, it's ten million!"
Ten million?
Shao Shuaijun stared and couldn't believe it. The box office of "House of Flying Daggers" on its opening day was only 16 million. "Crazy Stone" has no big production, no big stars, no big directors, and the number of films scheduled is not as good as that of blockbusters.
Even the publicity is not as good as that of a blockbuster movie. But it has a box office of 10 million. How can this not make Shao Shuaijun glare?
"Really?" Wang Zhonglei was overjoyed.
"More real than pearls!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Go and reveal the news, call all the media you know!" Wang Zhonglei looked at Shao Shuaijun with a happy face, "Director Shao, why don't we talk about "Crazy Racing"
Let’s discuss cooperation.”
…
"Crazy Stone" went crazy, with the box office exceeding 10 million on the first day, making it the highest-grossing small-budget film in China!

Nothing is impossible. In the spring of low cost, Shao Shuaijun tells you that ten million is very simple!
——"Entertainment Herald"
The best-selling domestic low-budget movie in history, "Crazy Stone" triggered a crazy phenomenon!
——**Entertainment section
The news of the first-day box office of 10 million was released, and the national media was immediately excited. This is 2004, and the first-day box office of 10 million will definitely make it into the top ten annual box office. A box office of over 100 million is not an extravagant hope. With the
After the box office results were released, the audience's evaluations were also refreshed on forums such as Tianya and Yahoo.
"The Stone is so good, it's the most ridiculous movie I've seen this year!" - Little Zombie Dudu posted on Tianya.
"Sofa, I agree with the original poster." - A certain soy sauce party passed by.
"Complex and powerful black humor, top it." - Reply from the Pickle Shaobing Man.
"Shao Shuaijun's shocking work subverts tradition, provides a refreshing new visual experience, is an epoch-making achievement for domestic films, and is a shot in the arm for low-cost films." - Shenlairen replied.
"Hey, I haven't watched it yet. Is it really that good?" - Watermelon asked with a head on his head.
"Shao Shuaijun, your uncle, it's so cool to see me" - the wandering pirate replied.
"I borrowed it from "Two Smoking Barrels", but made it with my own style and taste. This is the biggest surprise this year!" - Dongfang Yu's sister replied.
"It turns out that the story can be told like this, and the movie can be shot like this. It is one of the most successful comedy genres in China!" - Reply from Nashville Cat.
"Reply to the girl on the upper floor, you will definitely laugh out loud if you watch it. My brother decided to watch it again. By the way, your ID is from Dengzhou, and so is my brother. It's so fateful. What's up, where does the girl live? Brother, please
Are you going to watch a movie together?" - Replied by classmate No. 2 from the store, never forget to pick up girls.
"The beginning and the end are directly plagiarized from "Two Smoking Barrels". Don't talk about imitation or reference. All fools will know it. If it weren't for the performance of the actors and the sparkle of the lines, it can be classified as a bad movie. How can there be so many idiots~
Do you think it’s funny?”—Hanghang’s reply.
"Whose dog upstairs is not tied up? You've only seen The Big Smoking Gun, right? You're an idiot who doesn't know how to pretend to understand. It's rare for a good domestic film to come out and bite people. If you have the ability, don't copy it."
A classic comes out." - Soapy retorted to the person above.
Although it was mixed with some sarcastic remarks, it was drowned in the praise. The entire Internet was taken over by "Crazy Stone". It seemed that if you didn't talk about "Crazy Stone" overnight, you would be out of date. The media also reported a series of reports, thousands of
The box office of 10,000 directly ignited everyone's passion.
Under such enthusiastic reviews, the box office results were released the next day. Everyone has to go to work on Monday, so it is normal for the movie box office to drop. "Spider-Man 2" has a box office of 800,000, and as of today, the total has reached 43 million.
At the box office, the film had insufficient stamina. "Shrek 2" took in a box office of RMB 750,000, but only managed to earn RMB 5.5 million within seven days of its release. Its reputation and box office were both poor.
"Ghost 2" took in 1.1 million at the box office and is still very popular. A box office success seems to be no problem.
But amid the blockade of these blockbusters, "Crazy Stone" showed its incomparable madness. It grossed 5.5 million at the box office on Monday, which shocked everyone.
On Tuesday, the box office dropped slightly, taking in 5 million. On Wednesday, the box office rose again, taking in 5.7 million.
After four days of release, the box office was 25.7 million yuan, and the cost has been recovered. However, the movie is still popular, especially during prime time, it is hard to get a ticket, and the midnight shows are all sold out. "Ghost 2" was hit by stones, and the box office
It continued to decline, and last week's popularity was no longer there. "Spider-Man 2" and the unpopular "Shrek 2", which were already lacking in stamina, were even more attacked by the two. The single-day box office did not even reach 400,000 yuan.
.
In response to this, the theater company couldn't sit still and called directly to Wang Zhonglei's mobile phone.
"Mr. Wang, add Ying!"
"It's not impossible to add shadow. What's the specific share?"
"I'll give up two points!" It's already expected that the box office of a movie will exceed 100 million. One point is equivalent to a profit of more than one million yuan. It's not a big deal.
