During the Spring Festival in 2002, "Crazy Stone" was not the center of attention.
Although it is a work written by Xiao Qian, and although it stars Liang Jiahui and Xu Tiezheng, the total cost is only more than 17 million, which is really not outstanding among many movies.
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is the hit movie this Spring Festival.
As for domestic movies, "The Unparalleled" has also attracted much attention because of its gathering of big names.
As for "Crazy Stone", the audience was more or less resistant to it.
There is only one reason, and that is director Ning Han.
The movie "Ashes of Time" really made the audience afraid of this thing.
I was afraid that he would make another dull and boring movie like that, so I simply gave up my hopes.
Only fans of Xiao Qian, Liang Jiahui, and Xu Tiezheng walked into the theater with the slightest bit of luck.
When the movie started and various unexpected and humorous scenes came one after another, the audience completely put aside their worries and were so amused by the humorous story that they completely forgot about time.
It was the first time that they knew that BMW cars could be interpreted in this way, and it was also the first time that they saw so many fraud methods.
The battle of wits and courage between Xie Xiaomeng and his father is like a story happening around them.
The international thief from Hong Kong thought he would kill everyone like Tom Cruise and use various high-tech methods to steal the jade. However, as soon as he came out of the airport, the local thief used the most clumsy means to steal the crime tools.
.
When I had no choice but to buy tools myself, I was tricked by local profiteers.
When Mike slid down from the air and was only half an arm away from the safe, everyone burst into tears with laughter.
When in the end the fake jadeite was grandly placed in the cabinet, but the real jadeite was hung around his wife's neck by Bao Shihong without realizing it, a black humor satisfied everyone's perception with great irony.
This is the first time that domestic audiences have seen this montage-style multi-line narrative style, and they have also seen for the first time that a comedy can be so down-to-earth.
The Yuzhou dialect, Qingdao dialect and Hong Kong dialect in the film are all so familiar.
The biggest feeling this movie gives people is that it turns out that there are so many good stories that can be mined that are closest to people's daily lives.
That night, reviews of "Crazy Stone" began to explode on the Internet.
The high rating of 9.6 on Douban has blinded countless people.
In this generation, Douban.com has cultivated users who are more demanding and professional in selecting movies due to its sophisticated operations.
Being able to get a high score of 9.6 here is enough to show how good "Crazy Stone" is.
Early the next morning, the film critics' ratings were released.
9.3, once again shocked the audience.
The extremely high scores even make people doubt whether there is fraud.
[A hearty comedy, from the first minute to the last minute, with unexpected twists and turns, the laughter is dizzying. In the Spring Festival, a time of family reunion, with a movie like this to accompany you, there will be no regrets. 】
[A tribute to Guy Ritchie’s shooting techniques, which allows us to see the director’s sincerity. Ning Han became more and more proficient in the use of lenses after Ashes of Time.]
[This movie uses a multi-threaded narrative method, but the plot does not collapse due to too many clues. On the contrary, the plots of each part go hand in hand to advance the rhythm of the movie. This is the best plot I have ever enjoyed so far.
The film with the most amazing techniques.]
[After watching Ashes of Time, I think Ning Han is the director who knows the most about movies. But after watching Crazy Stone, I know even more clearly that Ning Han is already a master-level director.]
The audience's evaluations are obviously not as professional as the film critics, but they will also express their love for the movie clearly and clearly.
A good movie is a good movie, and "Crazy Stone" is a good movie that allows the audience to put down all their thoughts and enjoy it as much as they want.
You can admire the movie's technique; you can be surprised by the movie's story; you can laugh heartily at the movie's humor.
Coinciding with the Spring Festival, this kind of movie obviously doubles people's happiness.
The next day, the first-day box office was released. "Crazy Stone" only had 7.57 million, which can be said to be very low.
But when the box office came out the next day, it immediately shocked people's attention.
"Crazy Stone" grossed 27.57 million at the box office, making it difficult to get a single ticket.
Major theater chains had to urgently adjust their film schedules and increase the number of screenings of "Crazy Stone".
Facts have proved that it is extremely wise for the theater chain to do this.
On the third day, "Crazy Stone" surpassed "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and topped the list with more than 39 million.
With only a few hundred thousand data difference, it will break through the 40 million mark in a single day.
If achieved, it will be a new record for Chinese films.
Even so, "Crazy Stone" cost more than 10 million, and it grossed nearly 80 million in the box office in three days after its premiere. There is no doubt that it will break 100 million.
What everyone is more concerned about is where is the limit of this movie?
Along with the explosive box office, people also praised the actors.
"Crazy Stone" is a movie that all actors are amazed by. All the actors who appear in the movie, even if they only have one line of dialogue, do not stretch their hips.
As for the starring group, let alone talk about it.
Liang Jiahui has appeared in countless funny movies, but his unlucky appearance in the movies is rarely seen.
In this movie, the international master's demeanor when he appeared and the desolation at the end of the movie formed a sharp contrast. The image that paid tribute to Tom Cruise but was reversed quickly became popular on the Internet.
At this time, the powerful operating ability of Starlight was demonstrated.
Tom Cruise, who is far away in the United States, has seen this scene and gave a witty answer during an interview.
"Warning to all international thieves, never go to China, otherwise, this will be your end."
A world star is a world star. With just one sentence, "Crazy Stone" became a hit.
The person who has undergone the biggest change is actually Guo Tao.
In his previous life, as a starring actor, he actually didn't get much benefit from movies.
After the movie, other people became famous one after another and enjoyed unlimited fame. Guo Taoqun still did not enter the first-line ranks and could only be regarded as a well-known actor.
But this time "Crazy Stone" became a hit as soon as it was released, which allowed Guo Tao's acting skills and charm to be discovered in time, and he became famous all of a sudden.
His unit, the Experimental Theater, was in trouble.
After all, the Experimental Theater is an art institution, and its main work is concentrated in the field of artistic research, with drama performance as its core. A big star appears out of nowhere, and I have no experience in how to operate it.
Fortunately, the Experimental Theater was very open, and after research, the leaders reached an agreement with Starlight.
From now on, Guo Tao's personnel relationship will still belong to the Experimental Theater, and he will also hold a position in the theater. His management contract will be signed with Starlight, who will be responsible for his commercial performance activities.
Although many people have become popular thanks to "Crazy Stone", the one who stands out among them, without a doubt, must be Li Xiaohan.
The black skin he played was so eye-catching that it overshadowed everyone else.
This character, who was originally only considered the third or fourth male lead in the play, quickly became the most popular once it was screened.
The phrase "Baleno, brand" quickly became popular and even boosted the sales of Baleno.
Seeing this situation, Baleno did not say anything and directly signed Li Xiaohan to be the spokesperson at a high price.
As for the scene at the end of the movie where he ran wildly on the elevated road waving bread, it was made into various animated images, setting off the first generation of emoticon craze.
This actor, who has joined Starlight Company for a long time, has not attracted much attention because of his poor image.
Among Shen Jue, Yang Zhen, Chen Shuai, Lu Yi, Zhou Bujie, Xu Tiezheng and others, not many people remember him.
Many times, even Li Xiaohan himself doubted that his achievements as an actor were probably just supporting roles with more roles, right?
Unexpectedly, after ten years of sharpening the sword, no one noticed it, but once it was unsheathed, the whole world would know it.
This handsome but charming man quickly became a hot star and is remembered by the world for his completely different temperament.
"This era will not stop you from shining, but you can't cover anyone else's brilliance. We are just some juniors who continue to move forward and dare not make mistakes."
What really made Li Xiaohan completely win over people was that during an interview at an event, someone asked him to evaluate the pros and cons of himself and many big-name actors, and he said the above words.
This quote quickly went viral and received countless compliments.
Under his rough appearance, people discovered his high emotional intelligence in addition to his superb acting skills.
There is no natural reason for such a person not to be popular.
