Chapter 484 Premiere of "Stone"

"I plan to cast Wan Zhaolong as the gang boss, policeman Wu Jing, and the perverted murderer Zhang Jing..."

"Wrinkled Zhaolong?"

Wan Siu-loung was also from the Hung family. Back then, Sammo Hung wanted to promote Wan Siu-loung to the top, and he opened three dramas in succession, "Streets of Fire", "Swear to Never Forget Love", and "Elf", but all three dramas suffered losses...

Later, Sammo Hung served as the martial arts instructor in "Ashes of Time", and Chou Siu-lung also participated in the role. Unfortunately, he basically didn't even get a chance to show his face in the film, and he was "reduced" to a supporting role who was killed by Tony Leung Chiu-wai.

Fortunately, Wan Zhaolong starred in "The Ninth Grade Sesame Official". Chang Wei, who is born with supernatural powers, and Li Lianjie named him to play opposite him in "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai", "Letter to Dad", "The Adventure King"...

Slowly getting out of the circle!

But...Sammo Hung still has some scruples...

"Can't we find Donnie Yen to star?"

"There's no need, Donnie Yen is too expensive...Wu Jing + Wrinkle Zhaolong can do it!"

The overseas rights of "Taken" were sold for nearly 25 million US dollars...

Donnie Yen's net worth has skyrocketed, with a quoted price of HK$12 million.

Of course it is reasonable, but...reasonable is reasonable. There are few fighting scenes in "The Legend of the Bad", and the total cost is just over 25 million. It is impossible for Shen Xudong to spend huge sums of money to find Donnie Yen!

Besides, if Donnie Yen plays the role, Wu Jing will do it again!

Let's forget it. Shen Xudong has already agreed with Jiahe that he will promote Wu Jing to the top. It's always the second time, but that doesn't mean he's the top!

"Okay, I'll listen to you..."

Sammo Hung nodded, and then asked: "Can I make the decision for other characters?"

"certainly…"

Shen Xudong understood instantly - he wanted to praise his son...

Very normal thing...

Everyone knows that this business is easy to make money!

In the past, someone asked, ‘Why do people in the entertainment industry let their children enter the entertainment industry? ’

You can easily make a million a year, and your family has connections and resources, so why not go?

With a daily income of more than 2 million, only a fool would not let his children enter the industry.

What kind of genius plan did Huawei put together? The annual salary is only 2 million!

It was rare to see Sammo Hung, and Shen Xudong wanted to ask many questions in person.

For example, whether the godfather incident is true or something like that...

Unfortunately, there is not enough time. Sammo Hung is here to promote "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", and Shen Xudong has to rush to the theater - "Crazy Stone" will be screened soon.

…

At the first screening of "Crazy Stone", more than a hundred media and many theater executives came.

On the one hand, it is the opening film of the Shanghai Film Festival, on the other hand, the company invites...

The movie premiered in Hall 1 of Shanghai Cinema, which is also the CINITY Hall - the only hall with 1,000 people in the Shanghai Film Festival!

Shen Xudong, Ning Hao, Jiang Wu, Huang Bo, Zhang Guoli, Liu Hua, Xu Zheng, Zhang Mo and Huang Xiaolei all came - Wu Zhenyu didn't come, he was still filming "The Lion Wakes", directing and starring...

"I have always felt that if Chinese films want to compete with Hollywood, in addition to making blockbusters, they must also make genres! But there are not many domestic directors who can shoot genres... Ning Hao can! "Crazy Stone" is a typical black humor comedy movie, I hope everyone will give a fair evaluation after watching the movie..."

Shen Xudong gave a brief promotion: "In addition, I have said before that the movies with market appeal are all certain movies, such as Jackie Chan movies, Feng Xiaogang movies, Stephen Chow movies, after "Crazy Stone", I will probably add Ning Hao Movie!"

On this occasion, the director was of course the main recommendation. Shen Xudong did not hesitate to praise him. After speaking, he handed the microphone to Ning Hao.

Ning Hao took the microphone, a little nervous: ""Stone" is a very interesting film... I hope everyone will like it..."

Then Zhang Guoli, Jiang Wu, and Huang Bo spoke respectively...

They all praise "The Stone".

My appetite is whetted, and the movie starts!

Let’s briefly talk about the plot of “Stone”.

In fact, in the first few minutes, most viewers found it baffling - because of the editing, there was no logic at all in the story, until the fourth scene, when Si Yan had a big argument with Bao Shihong and San Bao, and at the same time the police came Adjusted and let go of the moving trio. Why did Bao Shihong get out of the car? Because Xie Xiaomeng's can fell from the sky and shattered the glass. As a result, the car slowly slid away and damaged the four-eye BMW...

In just five minutes, the audience quickly caught the difference between this movie and other domestic films...

As the plot unfolds, the main line of the story gradually becomes clear. The factory director dug up a priceless jade and wanted to use it to bring the factory back to life, but all parties took notice.

In addition to the two forces of Brother Dao and Dong Feng, there are also branch lines of Sanbao, Xie Xiaomeng's side, Bao Shihong's obscure illness, etc...

As Wu Zhenyu appears, the plot gradually reaches its climax...

There are more and more jokes.

The lines also make people laugh:

"I'll beat your lungs out! You profiteer!"

"You have flashy clothes underneath, so you need to be in a sexy style? You have to be low-key when you first join the industry, do you understand?"

"Sign, Baleno!"

"You women, you just don't understand that this is the period when my career is on the rise. How can I get away with it?"

"My daughter-in-law is sleeping with someone else, and no one cares about it... We are not married, but we have real feelings... Even if we are married, no one cares about it, is there any law?!... What kind of lawyer are you? !”

The audience response was very good.

The atmosphere in the screening hall was also close to boiling, and the entire audience laughed...

"Stone" is indeed very good, so good that even Ning Hao himself couldn't surpass it...

The end of the movie is even more exciting than the beginning - Hei Pi is biting bread and being chased by the shop owner on a scooter, and Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker" plays and the freeze-frame ends.

Almost instantly, the audience spontaneously stood up and applauded.

"Let's go, stop standing there and go on stage to express your feelings!"

…

During the communication session, Shen Xudong stood on the side...

His original intention was to give up his position and let everyone ask more questions about Ning Hao and the others.

Indeed, the audience enthusiastically asked questions, and the actors answered them promptly.

But who is Shen Xudong?

Although among the big names, he is a younger brother, but when he gets together with such a group of people, he is like a firefly in the dark.

A group of media asked him: "Xudong, I heard that Mr. Andy Lau from "The Stone" also invested?"

"...Yes, so, the interlude includes "Love Forgetting Water", and we also specifically mentioned Baleno, who is endorsed by Andy Lau... But judging from the effect... I hope Baleno will not cause us trouble!"

"Xudong, you are the producer of "Stone". Did you give any advice during the filming?"

"...No, I have been in Chongqing for half a month. Ning Hao is a very mature director. When filming, he does not need any supervision. Like directors Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, he belongs to the category where one director supports a company. kind!"

"Xudong, do you think "Stone" can exceed 100 million?"

Shen Xudong chuckled, and then asked the theater managers in the audience: "What do you think?"

Wu Hehu from Shanghai United Cinemas responded first: "I think it depends on the publicity...it will definitely not work to rely solely on word-of-mouth for the movie!"

Gao Jun from the New Film Alliance was not very optimistic and shook his head: "There are still certain restrictions on dialect comedy... I think 50 million is the most!"

Zhao Jun from China Film Southern Shinkansen was silent for a moment: "The schedule is not suitable, there is "Superman" later."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Although I admire these three, the Three Musketeers of Chinese Film Distribution, don't forget that this is the Internet era. Once "The Stone" is released, it can sweep the country as quickly as possible... I hope the three bosses will give more time to arrange films. , three days...",

"Okay, we promise you!"
