On September 23, Cheng Long's new film "The Myth", which was produced with an investment of HK$160 million, had a box office of over 8 million on its first day.

This film not only became Cheng Long's best first-day box office movie in the past 10 years, but also became the best first-day box office movie in mainland China since 2005.

Regarding such box office, investors and distributors, as well as starring Cheng Long, director Tang Jili and others were very happy, but they all said they were not too surprised.

Because the entire production of "Myth" has a super strong business model, as well as the combination of Cheng Long, an international superstar, and the most beautiful woman in Goryeo.

Regarding the current hot situation, coupled with the upcoming National Day Golden Week, all parties predict that the box office of "Myth" will exceed 100 million, becoming the box office "myth" of the mainland film market this year.

"Song of Everlasting Sorrow", directed by Kwan Kam Peng and starring Sammi Cheng, Tony Leung Ka Fai and others, with an investment of 40 million yuan, only received 600,000 yuan at the box office on the first day of its release, which was a very embarrassing loss.

It can be seen that Han Sanping's analysis is still very reasonable. For a literary film like "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" to achieve high box office, it is simply a daydream.

Another reason is that Tony Leung Ka-fai, the leading actor in "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", has almost no box office appeal. To put it bluntly, there are not many viewers who are willing to spend money to watch his movie in the theater.

Although Tony Leung Ka Fai's acting skills are very superb and he is known as "one person with a thousand faces" and claims to be able to play any role, but being able to play any role also represents mediocrity to a certain extent, with a lack of distinctive personal style and no clear positioning.

.

Like the "King of Comedy" Stephen Chow, his positioning is very clear. He only acts in comedies and only shoots comedies. In terms of comedy performance, no one in Asia can compare with him.

The same goes for Kung Fu superstars Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Each has its own style, and it is a style that others cannot imitate. It is unique in the world.

As for the heroine Sammi Cheng, like all actresses in Hong Kong and Taiwan, she has never been able to carry the box office. The box office performance of the actress starring depends entirely on the type of film and the male star she partners with.

For example, Sammi Cheng and Andy Lau's movies collaborated, and the box office was very high, but it was all because of Andy Lau, and she herself had no box office appeal.

Li Lizhen can handle the box office. Her 2+1 movies can make many male viewers willing to spend money to enter the theater.

Weng Hong is also okay, her "Unstoppable Style" is also a rare classic.

But like Shu Qi, she chose to change her ways, and her legend no longer existed in the world.

Speaking of Shu Qi, Shu Qi is also a very special actress and a very special existence in the entertainment industry.

In the 1990s, Shu Qi could star opposite Leslie Cheung and Ekin Cheng.

More than ten years later, she will still be able to play the male and female protagonists alongside Lu Han, Jing Boran, Wang Dachui and other young talents, without any sense of incompatibility, and she will be like no one else.

The movie "Child's Dream" starring Andy Lau is also a low-budget movie. In Hong Kong, it has already recovered its investment and even made a fortune. The first-day box office in the mainland also received 1.6 million, which is considered satisfactory.

, breaking 10 million is still no problem.

As for the Hollywood blockbuster "Fantastic Four", although it has done well at the box office around the world, it was already released in the mainland as early as August.

It is now the end of September, and it has been released for more than a month, nearly two months. The threat of "Fantastic Four" has dropped significantly, and it is already at the end of the war.

In other words, in the 2005 National Day release, "The Myth" almost stood out, and the other films almost all came to join in the fun and only served as a companion.

The movie "Crazy Stone" will also be screened in four major cities starting from September 23.

September 24th, evening.

At Nanjing Workers Cinema, the audience responded enthusiastically to "Crazy Stone", saying that this film "can be compared with Feng Xiaogang's comedy" and brought them many surprises.

The plot of the movie "Crazy Stone" begins with the discovery of priceless jade. The reporter found that during the screening of the movie, the audience kept laughing.

There are many wonderful moments in the film that are particularly "laughing":

Gu Biao

For example, the security section chief played by Guo Tao found thieves entering and exiting the temple every day, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse. He shouted: "It's a public toilet! Come if you want, leave if you want!"

Mike, the international thief played by Cao Jun, adopted Tom Cruise's favorite trick in "Mission: Impossible", hanging himself with a rope he bought in advance, and slowly approached the exhibition box on the ground to get the piece of jade.

, but found that the rope was too short and could not get the treasure, so he could only curse secretly: "Profiteer!"

…

After the movie screening, many viewers expressed their excitement to reporters: "I didn't expect that mainland movies could produce such good-looking comedies. Feng Xiaogang has a rival!"

"I heard that the cost of this movie was only 5 million. It was really not easy to make it like this. The plot, lines, performances, shooting techniques, etc. are all outstanding. I give it a perfect score of 12 out of 10!"

"It was such a surprise. I thought it was nothing to watch, but after watching it I realized that it is a very funny comedy movie."

"I haven't watched it enough. The cast is very exciting. I plan to watch it again and call my girlfriend. Ah, I'm sorry, I don't have a girlfriend... I will watch it again tomorrow by myself!"

"I plan to ask my friends to come with me. The filming was so good. I laughed so much from the beginning to the end that I lost all my strength. I laughed so much that I yawned. I was so depressed that all my strength was used up."

A male viewer said: "The film narrates the same thing from multiple angles, such as re-enacting the same event from different perspectives such as a thief and a security guard. Because the scale is properly chosen, it not only does not appear messy, but also achieves the humorous effect."

.”

A female audience member said: "I am a fan of Cao Jun. I came to watch the screening for Cao Jun. He is really handsome. He can be handsome in everything he plays. His acting skills are also very good. His role as Mike is very funny.

It ended a bit badly."

The carefully designed lines are also impressive, such as "Without credit there is hard work, without hard work there is also fatigue", "See, BMW, don't touch me" etc.

In order to let more people know about the movie "Crazy Stone", both Cao Jun and Xu Zheng accompanied Ning Hao to attend the movie screenings in Beijing and Shanghai.

Judging from the reaction of the audience at the screening, the reputation of the movie "Crazy Stone" is considered to be very good. There are almost no negative reviews. After all, it is free. Even if you don't like the movie, you are embarrassed to criticize it.

.

Every audience member who watched the movie left the theater with a smile on their face. Everyone will feel happy that they paid for such a good movie in vain.

After the screening of the movie in Shanghai, Cao Jun and Ning Hao, on the strong recommendation of Xu Zheng, went to a private restaurant for supper.

For Xu Zheng, eating, drinking and whoring are the three greatest pleasures in his life.

Xu Zheng is very particular about food and is willing to share delicious food with his brothers.

When Ning Hao thought about it, the movie "Crazy Stone" would be officially released in two hours. Facing a table of delicious food, he had no appetite at all.

Looking at Ning Hao who said nothing, Xu Zheng persuaded him: "Ning Hao, just smile and don't keep a sullen face all day long. Xiao Cao and I don't owe you any money."

Cao Jun also said: "Yes, Brother Hao, why do you think so much? You are so sad all day long. Lao Xu and I can hardly stand you anymore, really."

Without waiting for Ning Hao to answer, Xu Zheng patted his shoulder and said softly: "Okay, don't think so much, just eat it while it's hot. After that, I'll take you for a massage to relax. You're too tight."

Already."

Hearing Xu Zheng's words, Ning Hao finally smiled and asked: "Is this a serious massage parlor?"

Xu Zheng said angrily and funny: "You asked me this, who am I, Xu Zheng? Can I take you to a shady massage parlor?"

Cao Jun also felt a little sore in his back recently, so he asked Xu Zheng: "Old Xu, does the massage parlor you mentioned have professional techniques? Is it a master? I really want to give it a massage."

Xu Zheng said calmly: "They are not masters, they are all young ladies. Except for the massage, they are quite professional in other aspects."

Ning Hao chuckled and said: "Then go ahead after eating and give them some tips on massage techniques."
