At the wrapping party, everyone was very happy. Another work was completed, and everyone had a lot of fun while participating in the filming process. It was indeed very funny.
Through this, they are still confident that the reputation and box office will not be too bad. After all, the comedy effect is full, and as a comedy film, it is undoubtedly qualified.
When filming a work, they participate in it. Through the setting of the plot, lines, and performances, they can roughly know the quality of the work. This is the understanding of film and television works as professional film and television personnel.
"Crazy Stone" is excellent in every aspect.
Even many plots, if it were not filmed by Chen Mubai, they would not have thought that they are so interlocking and connected throughout the whole process. Everything can match the person. The plot between the characters and the story is like a gray thread.
General, intricate.
Although there are no great truths, no explosive special effects, and no shocking scenes, the combination of these witty and humorous plots still cannot conceal the shining point of this film.
At the dinner table, everyone was still chatting happily, and many people even talked about the details of the shooting and funny things, making the whole room burst into laughter.
On the main table.
The people sitting at this table are all the main creative staff of the film. The main characters are all sitting at the same table, and the assistant director is also there.
Because this drama is produced by Mubai Entertainment, the producer and supervisor are Chen Mubai.
The other three major companies have participated in the investment, but they only pay dividends and have no management authority over the film. The people they send are only responsible for financial reconciliation to prevent Mubai Entertainment from exaggerating the investment cost.
This is just a formality, and they didn't review it carefully.
For the Big Three, Chen Mubai's character is quite upright and worthy of trust.
The most important thing is that he can make money and bring benefits to them.
Even if Chen Mubai really wants to take advantage of it and be greedy for more money, it's okay. If he can earn more money, he will give it to him. It is impossible to fall out with Chen Mubai over this trivial matter. It is not in his interest.
.
"At the press conference, Director Chen boasted about Haikou and said that the film was confident of guaranteeing a box office of 1 billion. I was very surprised when I was sitting next to him." Qian Duoduo smiled at the dinner table and shared the interesting story from the beginning. In front of the public, he called
It's better to be more formal, it doesn't matter in private.
"I was thinking, I am the protagonist. If the movie does not have such a high box office, I will also be responsible. I am really under a lot of pressure."
Shang Ran also joked: "This is also my first time playing a female lead. I'm wondering if Director Chen is deliberately digging a hole for me to jump out of!"
"But then I thought about it, if the box office hadn't been so high, with my reputation, even if I wanted to take the blame, it wouldn't be my turn!"
"Director Chen's reputation is so great that everyone is looking for him. As a heroine, she doesn't seem to be that bad!
"Ha ha!"
Everyone was amused by Shang Ran, but they didn't expect her to praise Chen Mubai in a roundabout way.
"But to be honest, this tone is really loud. I think everyone should be feeling stressed."
The words about "a lot of money" made many people nod secretly. There is nothing wrong with this.
This can only be said by him. After all, he and Chen Mubai have a good relationship. If they say anything, they will easily offend Chen Mubai.
If it weren't for Chen Mubai, no matter how big the final box office of the movie was or whether the quality was good or not, they wouldn't be under such great pressure.
But after Chen Mubai's words were released, the film received even more attention. Although it was a good thing for the film itself and was popular, the requirements for quality were even higher.
If a domestic movie wants to have a box office of over 1 billion, the quality of this kind of movie must not be bad, and it can basically be regarded as an excellent movie.
Looking at Chinese films, which one has exceeded 1 billion, it is not just about word-of-mouth, it has received rave reviews, and the roles are played by well-known actors, including many top superstars.
Compared with foreign films with huge investments, investment in domestic films is relatively small, and most of it is spent on actors' salaries.
And movies that can bring high returns are precisely movies starring superstars that can drive box office, which can be regarded as complementary to each other.
Only a small number of movies may have surprising box office numbers, but the vast majority of movies with high box office stars star top stars. This is the appeal of stars.
"Before filming, I was very worried, but after filming, I am not worried anymore." Qian Duoduo continued with a smile: "I feel now that this movie is guaranteed to have a box office of 1 billion!"
This is out of trust in Chen Mubai, and also out of affirmation of the quality of the film.
"Yes, we are good at everything, so we may not be able to break through the shackles!" An actor echoed loudly.
Before the filming, they had the same mentality. They felt a lot of pressure, and they also felt that they might not be able to achieve such good results. If they didn't achieve such results by then, they would at most be complained about.
They can only say that they try their best to do their best and try not to hinder the movie. As for the results, they have no way to change and be themselves.
When the filming officially started, they gradually became more confident in the work. Coupled with Chen Mubai's request and under his guidance, the effects and quality were very good, and everyone became more confident in the movie and box office.
However, it is difficult to say whether it can exceed 1 billion, but at least in terms of quality, everyone does not have to worry.
"I admire Xia Fan very much. He did suffer a lot in the sewer scene. You have the perseverance to find feelings in that environment, which is worthy of admiration." Someone sighed.
"Yes." Everyone agreed.
Xia Fan was a little embarrassed by the praise, and his dark complexion turned a little red. He said shyly: "I just wanted to complete the plot according to Director Chen's request, and I didn't think too much."
Xia Fan smiled silly, with a satisfied smile on his honest face.
Compared with the life before, it is much better now.
He is no longer a martial artist, he does not need to be beaten every day as a guest star in various film and television dramas, he does not need to be exposed to wind and rain, and his income is much higher. All of this was brought to him by Chen Mubai, and he is very grateful to Chen Mubai.
"But don't say it, the hard work was not in vain. The final effect was very good. I laughed so much that my stomach hurt." Someone said with a smile.
"Yes, the contrast is really good."
"Especially when he came out, he met the thief played by Director Chen. Both of them were very downcast and very happy. Xia Fan's face was so dark that he couldn't even see his appearance. The two of them just looked at each other's clothes and looked a little bit...
I’m confused.”
"Director Chen is really imaginative. For a piece of bread, the two of them ran all the way up the elevated highway. One ran and the other chased on an electric car. Those who didn't know it thought they had robbed something valuable..."
"I was watching them filming, and my stomach hurt from laughing so hard." Shang Ran couldn't help but smile after saying this.
This part was really well shot. The most important thing is that Xia Fan put in a lot of effort. He actually shot it in the sewer and stayed there for so long that his whole body stinked.
Later, after I went back from filming, I took a shower many times, but I still felt that my body smelled very strong, and I couldn't get rid of the faint odor.
This lasted for several days. Xia Fan's appetite was affected. He didn't eat much in those days and had no appetite.
"Okay, today is the wedding banquet, not the celebration banquet. You guys have given me a lot of praise for this meal." Chen Mubai was also amused.
"Speaking of which, I also want to thank you all for your cooperation with me, especially Xia Fan, who is very dedicated. If you can maintain this momentum, I believe that you will be the mainstay in the film and television industry in the future." Chen Mubai said.
The main actors here are basically all from Mubai Entertainment, so everyone is still very close to each other.
"Director Chen, are you planning to release it during the summer vacation?" someone asked.
This movie took more than 2 months to shoot. When it was first started, it was in March. Now it is mid-May and it will soon enter June.
In one month's time it will be July, which is summer vacation.
There are many movies in July and August, and they are also the must-win schedules for many domestic and foreign blockbusters, so the competition pressure will be great.
According to Chen Mubai's speed, if he wants to release it in the summer, he should be able to make it in time.
However, compared to the high pressure of competition, Chen Mubai has previously said that with a minimum box office of 1 billion, the best way is to find a time to release the movie with less competition.
In this way, there are basically no competitors during the schedule, which will greatly improve the box office of the movie.
As Chen Mubai's second directorial film, "Crazy Stone" is not lacking in popularity. Even if it is released during a slow period, the box office will not be bad. This is Chen Mubai's appeal.
If it chooses to be released during the summer vacation, it will have to compete with many blockbusters.
Although the box office for this period will be relatively high, the competition pressure is too great, the audience is very selective, and the box office will be scattered a lot. Although Chen Mubai’s appeal is not bad, the appeal of other movies is not weak either!
Movies that can be released in this kind of schedule are very confident.
The investors and starring actors are all well-known companies and actors, so they are naturally not afraid of competition. They strive for this name and status!
Everyone didn't know what Chen Mubai was thinking, so they asked.
They are all from the same company, so there are not so many taboos, and this kind of thing is not a secret and cannot be told to anyone.
"Yes." Chen Mubai nodded.
It's not that he wanted to release it during the summer vacation, but it happened to be in time for the film's production, so he would release it directly without having to wait any longer.
With this time, he can completely prepare for his next work.
As for competing with other movies, Chen Mubai is not afraid.
First of all, there is the selectivity of the audience. Some people like science fiction movies, some people like action movies, and some people like comedies.
Therefore, in terms of movie genre, although everyone is a rival, they are not rivals.
Everyone can grab viewers with fixed viewing preferences, which is considered a basic guaranteed box office.
As for the rest of the audience who can watch anything, everyone needs to use their own methods to grab it.
Relatively speaking, comedy movies have the widest audience, and are suitable for both men and women, old and young.
Children may not necessarily like to watch action movies. If parents take their children to watch movies in the theater, they will basically choose science fiction movies or comedies, and they will not consider suspense and horror movies.
Besides, for older middle-aged people, it’s good to watch comedies for fun. Sci-fi movies are dizzying, and explosion scenes are noisy, so comedies are the movies with the widest audience.
Basically, when the quality of the movies is the same, the box office of comedies will be higher than that of other movies.
Chen Mubai is not afraid of competition. He believes that even if the box office of the movie may not be as good as his competitors at the beginning, after the movie is released and the reviews and reputation come out, many people will definitely go to the movie based on the reputation!
This is his self-confidence. He is absolutely confident in the quality of "Crazy Stone"!
