Chapter six hundred and thirty fifth costume sitcom
In the following time, the reputation of "Crazy Stone" has been fermenting so much that it has surpassed "Quick Escape" and has maintained its status as the single-day box office champion.
One month later, the movie’s box office revenue reached 1.8 billion!
This result shocked everyone. Before the filming of this movie started, no one thought that Chen Mubai's next movie could achieve such a high box office!
It has surpassed the box office and popularity of "Buried Alive"!
In terms of first-day pre-sale box office results and first-day box office results, "Crazy Stone" completely defeated "Buried Alive". Many people believe that the box office of this movie will drop a lot and fall back to a normal range.
Compared with "Buried Alive", this movie did not win any awards. It only relied on Chen Mubai's fame and influence. In addition, it all relied on the reputation of the movie. The quality was so high that everyone rushed to watch it.
"Buried Alive" became popular abroad, and then after winning awards, it became popular in China.
Many people go to see it for the title of "Venice Film Festival Golden Lion Award", and they feel that the quality of this award-winning movie should not be bad.
Therefore, in terms of publicity, the effect of "Buried Alive" is actually far greater than that of "Crazy Stone". Many Chinese media also spontaneously created publicity for this movie.
It can be said that "Buried Alive" laid the foundation, and "Crazy Stone" continues to move forward at this level without falling and living up to expectations.
Chen Mubai became famous in one battle, unlike "Buried Alive" which gained popularity through awards. Although the quality of the movie is not bad, the box office is still a bit high.
"Crazy Stone" is a complete manifestation of its strength. It does not have the support of any awards. It relies on the quality and reputation of the work. It is an extremely good movie and the audience is willing to pay for it.
Whether from ordinary audiences or film critics, this film has received mostly positive reviews and very few negative reviews. Major film critics are analyzing this film and discussing the future of low-cost comedies.
.
This movie is a model of small and big. It has no superstars and no awards. It relies on the quality and reputation of the work. In terms of publicity, it is not as good as two Hollywood blockbusters and two domestic blockbusters.
But in the end, the box office was able to rank second in the summer season. This is a miracle!
Among the summer blockbusters, in addition to "Crazy Stone", the investment in several other movies far exceeded "Crazy Stone" several times. In particular, although the number one science fiction film took over 20 billion in box office, its
The production cost is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars!
However, foreign films are aimed at the global market and cannot only be calculated based on the Chinese market.
Take the other two domestic blockbusters as an example. The investment was basically more than 200 million, and the box office was 600 million and 800 million. They both seemed to have made a profit, but not much.
And "Crazy Stone" only had a higher salary for the leading actors. The investment was only tens of millions, but it got a box office of 1.8 billion. What a benefit!
The other three companies that participated in the dividends were all crazy with joy. Although they only accounted for a small portion, it was still a very high income!
The box office of this movie caused a shock in the industry. Everyone estimated and estimated again, thinking that when the movie is released, the box office should reach 2 billion!
Chen Mubai's second movie received a box office of 2 billion, once again impressing everyone!
There are many directors whose works combined do not have such a high box office, but Chen Mubai has achieved it with just one film!
Even in China, a movie with a box office of over 2 billion is an appeal that only a few directors can have. With this film, Chen Mubai has become one of the top directors in China.
This is not an accident, "Buried Alive" also received a box office of 1.5 billion, and the two movies totaled a box office of about 3.5 billion!
In terms of box office results alone, Chen Mubai's first two films as a director were extremely successful. Basically no director has such results!
In Qidali, Jiaxing and other companies were filled with regrets. They did not expect that Chen Mubai was so strong, and the companies that did not get on board really regretted it.
This is just the result of a movie, and although the benefits are big enough, it won't make them regret it.
But Chen Mubai is too evil, and the results of his future works will not be bad. This long-standing benefit is what they covet the most, but it is a pity that they have no chance to get involved.
...
The celebration party for "Crazy Stone" has been held, and all the actors were very happy.
Xia Fan became famous because of his role in the sewer. He is very popular with the audience and has many olive branches coming to him in the industry.
When Chen Mubai came on the show, he specifically mentioned Xia Fan's scene and his efforts for it, which made many people see Xia Fan's serious attitude. This attitude is the director's favorite attitude. His
There are more opportunities.
I'm not talking about letting him play the leading role, but it's still okay to play a supporting role with a lot of roles, or a role like the third male lead.
Mubai Entertainment's projects are basically all about making money. The company has a lot of liquidity and the company's scale has become very large.
This situation will continue and Mubai Entertainment will become more and more prosperous.
What started as a small workshop company has become a powerful company in the blink of an eye, becoming a mid-level entertainment company.
Although it is not as large as Starway Entertainment or Feifan Entertainment, it is still a mid-level company.
But more than that, Mubai Entertainment has great potential, which is recognized in the industry. Some people even believe that Mubai Entertainment will threaten the status of Feifan Entertainment in the future and become the number one among mid-level entertainment companies!
As for becoming the eighth largest?
This is too difficult, and everyone still dare not think that even something as powerful as Feifan Entertainment has not succeeded, let alone Mubai Entertainment, which has no backer. It is already a great thing to be able to get to that point!
"Brother Lu, I have a new work recently."
Chen Mubai was previously involved in the promotion of movies, but has just recently taken some time off and started planning his next work.
"Don't you want to take a rest?" Lu Fang was a little surprised.
This is too diligent!
If ordinary people were like Chen Mubai, they would definitely not work so hard and would take more time to relax and relax.
Now he is no longer just a star, he has to travel abroad. Notice that he is a well-known director and actor. Many film and television productions want to invite him to star, but he has refused.
In Chen Mubai's opinion, there is no need to act!
Although he will be given a lot of salary, the quality of the movie cannot be guaranteed. It is better to make his own. At least the good reputation can be maintained and others will not say it is a waste of money.
Besides, he doesn't have any favors to repay, so there's no need to waste his good reputation and reputation by acting in movies of unknown quality.
No matter how outstanding a star is, if he stars in too many bad movies, his character will be criticized.
Therefore, Chen Mubai rejected such invitations. It's not like he doesn't have any movies to make. He has many good works, at least in terms of reputation, they will definitely not be bad.
As a director, if you have more time to rest or polish your works, you will definitely not produce new works frequently. Although there will be popularity, the result of high-intensity filming is that the quality will decline.
Therefore, well-known directors usually produce one film a year or even several years. Once they are famous, they will not lack exposure and funds, and most people will pay for the films they produce.
For example, Chen Mubai is now a very good director. He should take more rest and slowly polish his works to avoid lack of energy and prevent the quality of his works from declining.
The more famous people are, the more they cherish their feathers. Once the next work fails, many people will definitely criticize it, which will have a huge impact on the reputation and influence.
Especially people like Chen Mubai who are currently on the rise should pay more attention to the quality of movies rather than the quantity.
However, Lu Fang definitely trusts Chen Mubai and does not think there will be any problems with his abilities. He is just worried about his physical condition. High-intensity work still has a great impact on the body.
"I'm not shooting now, I need some time to prepare." Chen Mubai explained.
"I have two works now, one TV series and one movie."
He came here mainly for the TV series. The filming of the movie will not be so fast and will take some time.
Mubai Entertainment is now on the rise, and Chen Mubai wants to take advantage of the current influence to continue to produce new works, and use this popularity to expand the influence of Mubai Entertainment's name and stabilize its golden name.
"Oh?" Lu Fang was a little surprised: "A new TV series?"
The last TV series "Nirvana in Fire" was a huge success, and everyone is still looking forward to the next TV series from Mubai Entertainment or the script written by Chen Mubai.
The TV series shot by Chen Yunteng before have been released, and the quality is not bad, but it is not up to the quality of Chen Mubai, which is above the passing line.
Ji Yuxuan's TV series is in preparation for filming, and Mubai Entertainment does not have new works. Without Chen Mubai, the company is also operating normally, and everything is developing in a good direction.
Of course, Chen Mubai's works are the king of Mubai Entertainment. After all, the quality and reputation of each work are very good, and people within the company also think so.
Now that Chen Mubai has a new script out, Lu Fang is naturally surprised.
"What type is it this time?" Lu Fang asked.
"It's still a costume drama, but a sitcom."
"Is it similar to "Dose Man"?"
Lu Fang did not expect that he would go back to the original starting point, only to change from a city to a costume drama.
"Absolutely, but this is a main story, not all independent comedy scenes."
"Okay, I can rest assured that your script will be ready for you to start shooting at any time."
"It doesn't require much investment. I'm going to use this drama to train new actors. When the time comes, you can find suitable people, or let Xia Fan and Xia Jie be the leading actors to expand their reputation."
"This is an ensemble drama. Many characters have similar roles, but there is no distinction between who is the special starring role."
Lu Fang nodded and said: "No problem, I will find actors according to your requirements when the time comes."
Many of Chen Mubai's works are not based on the actor's fame and status, but more on the compatibility of the characters, which is why there are so many highly praised roles.
"Well, let's ask Chen Yunteng to take the photo. Isn't he free now?" Chen Mubai nodded.
"What about you, take a rest during this period, don't be so anxious to shoot the next movie, you will be exhausted." Lu Fang comforted.
The filming lasted for several months. It was floating outside every day in the wind and rain. It was definitely not an easy task.
After Chen Mubai finished filming "Crazy Stone", he had to work on the post-production of the movie. After the post-production of the movie was completed, he also needed to promote the movie, travel to various occasions, and go on variety shows to promote, so he really didn't have much time to rest.
Finally, he can now rest for a while. He has a new movie planned, so there is no need for rest time.
This is too tiring, Lu Fang still hopes that Chen Mubai can rest more.
"I know." Chen Mubai said with a smile: "I have been busy with work for the past six months and haven't spent much time with Yaoyao. It just so happens that we are both taking a rest now. I plan to accompany her to go abroad for fun and come back then.
Let’s prepare for a new movie.”
"It's okay to go out and have some fun and relax. I'm afraid you'll plunge into work and collapse your body." Lu Fang said with a hearty smile.
"Brother Lu, if you're busy, I'll go find Chen Yunteng and explain."
"Um."
Lu Fang is the general manager of the company and is also responsible for the company's daily operations. Mubai Entertainment has developed rapidly in the past two years. Lu Fang's job is not easy. He has to manage many things every day.
The recent hit "Crazy Stone" has made him pay close attention to this aspect and has been promoting and building momentum for the movie. He hopes that the movie's performance will reach a new level, which will also be of great benefit to the development of the company.
After leaving Lu Fang's office, Chen Mubai returned to his own office and found Chen Yunteng.
