Chapter 475 Graduated Chinese Opera Level 02 (Update 12)

"Sign, Baleno."

"It's a public restroom. You can come when you want and leave when you want."

"You not only insulted my character, you insulted my intelligence."

"Nike, do you still have a camera?"

"Brother Dao, Brother Dao, I'm trapped under a well, and my phone has no signal...NMLGBDNA!"

"..."

"Crazy Stone" is an excellent absurd comedy with a multi-line narrative, which is amazing for many viewers who have limited viewing capacity.

Cao Xuan himself drives the film's traffic on Penguin Blog. Currently, his blog has nearly 10 million fans, making him the number one internet celebrity on Penguin Blog.

Tens of millions of fans, put aside the zombie fans, and add some water, there are at least one million active fans. Even if 1% of the audience buys tickets to support and then feedback online, it can create a considerable momentum.

What's more, Cao Xuan's influence goes beyond that.

Although it is inevitable for Cao Xuan's blog to get some friendly recommendations from time to time, for works that are really bad, even if he calls them in person, Cao Xuan will pretend to be stupid and not recommend them.

Therefore, the overall quality of the works recommended by Cao Xuan's blog is pretty good, and fans have a certain degree of trust in Cao Xuan's recommendations and traffic.

Coupled with the golden name of Fanxing Movies, it can still attract many loyal fans of Fanxing to support it. This alone can contribute a very considerable box office.

You know, as the film company with the best reputation in China in recent years, although Fanxing Film's brand name is not as good as those of famous directors' masterpieces, it is far better than that of ordinary companies.

Even if it is an ordinary Starry movie, relying on this sign, it is possible to earn several million at the box office.

And when a good movie encounters a golden brand, its explosive power will be even greater, and it will even feed the brand back.

"Crazy Stone" is such a good movie.

In the early days of its release, the main promotion point was Fanxing's new movie. In just a few days, it became Fanxing's summer masterpiece, and even Fanxing's dark horse this year.

And the reason for such a change. It is because of its high reputation and brilliant box office.

The movie premiered in early July. Two days later, Time.com opened the ratings. Nearly 3,000 people voted at the beginning, and it got a score of 8.3, which may not be too high, but it is definitely not low.

You know, most of the movies starring Cao Xuan have exceeded 100 million, but except for "New World" and "When Men Are in Love", the ratings of Time.com are not as high as "Crazy Stone".

Several movies have been released this year, including "Fearless" played by Jet Li, but they have also received somewhat poor reviews.

In other words, "Crazy Stone" is the highest-rated Chinese-language film released in 2006. This alone is enough for Stars' publicity staff to make a big fuss about.

As for the box office of the "Crazy Stone" movie, it can only be said that Cao Xuan still underestimated the domestic audience's favor for comedy movies.

At present, the movie market is not yet developed, and movies that can attract audiences to cinemas are basically big stars or big productions.

But what cannot be ignored is comedy movies. Feng Xiaogang's New Year's Comedy is the best example, and Xingye's "Kung Fu" can also be counted among them.

For this kind of movie that can make people happy physically and mentally, and temporarily make people feel relaxed and happy, the audience's desire to spend money on movie tickets will be higher than that of ordinary movies.

In fact, most of the dark horses of the year that have performed box office miracles in later generations are comedy movies.

Therefore, comedy movies often cannot be calculated based on common sense.

As no one would have thought at the time, "囧囧" would become the first Chinese-language film to exceed 1 billion, and "Hello, Li Huanying" would even exceed 5 billion at the box office, and its peak performance was the runner-up in the box office of Chinese film history.

The box office of "Crazy Stone" will reach 20 million in its first week, and it has easily earned 15 million before the second week.

During the same period, except for "The Da Vinci Code" which was released in late May with a box office of over 100 million, there was no movie with a higher box office than this one.

Moreover, "The Da Vinci Code" is about to be released, and "Crazy Stone" has firmly ranked first in the single-day box office. If "Superman Returns", "Mission: Impossible 3" and the Hong Kong movie "Dragon Tiger Gate" were not released soon, many people would be optimistic about it. The movie hit 100 million yuan.

Speaking of which, this is also related to "Painted Skin".

In a sense, these imported films are China Film Group's special arrangements for July to make way for "Painted Skin," which will be released in August.

However, "Painted Skin" was successful, but it accidentally cheated "Crazy Stone".

But it doesn't matter, "Crazy Stone" has nearly 40 million box office in two weeks, and 50 million is a sure thing.

It’s hard to say 80 million, but there is still a lot of hope for 60 million. Compared with the original time and space, the box office has doubled several times.

Ning Hao became famous in one battle!

In the past two years, there have been many movies with a box office of over 100 million in the Mainland, but more than half of them are directed by Hong Kong directors.

For example, Fanxing's three films have exceeded 100 million yuan, two of them are Xu Laoguai and one is Du Qifeng. Even including "Myth", which participated in the investment, the director is Tang Jili from Xiangjiang.

So far, the only directors in Mainland China who can truly be called billionaire directors are Zhang, Chen and Feng.

It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of commercial films, mainland directors are completely disconnected. The fifth generation represented by Zhang and Chen still carry the flag. The sixth generation, headed by Jia Zhangke, is devoted to literary films.

As long as there are a few good talents, Boss Cao will not be forced to cooperate with the director of Xiangjiang.

Some seniors in the mainland entertainment industry still have a small opinion of him. They feel that Cao Xuan attaches too much importance to Hong Kong and Taiwan directors and does not cultivate his own people.

Boss Cao has been wronged a lot.

He would like to train more mainland directors, but the key point is that there are no good talents. With tens of millions of investment, he can't use it to train these rookie directors.

Before Ning Hao, Lu Chuan was the most commercially successful among the new generation of directors.

Moreover, Lu Chuan said he was a commercial director, but in fact he was still on the path of artistic films. He also had a manager who could train and train him.

But can these two be used?

Cao Xuan spent tens of millions, not because he wanted to see the Japanese and American devils as the protagonists, spending money to find punishment, and he was so angry.

So after a lot of pushing and pulling, Cao Xuan only dug out one Ning Hao, and the rest waited for the new directors to come forward and then slowly concocted the rest.

It is precisely because of this that Ning Hao has attracted much attention as soon as he became famous. The reason is that he is one of the few young directors in the mainland who emphasizes commercial attributes.

Things are rare but valuable. Currently, there is no shortage of people making literary and artistic films in the mainland film industry, but there is a shortage of people who can make money.

Cao Xuan was also very proud. Who said that he only supported Xiangjiang directors and still found good talents in the mainland.

He had planned to take Ning Hao around the next meeting of the China Film and Television Association, so that he could show those seniors how much our boss Cao had contributed to cultivating new mainland filmmakers.

Because of this, Cao Xuan once had a very good impression of Ning Hao. With a stroke of his pen, he allocated 20 million yuan for Ning Hao's next movie, which is not considered a small budget in the current film industry.

………

While "Crazy Stone" is currently being screened, the Chinese Theater Auditorium is hosting another annual graduation drama.

This year is the graduation drama "Eight Women" of the Chinese Opera Class 02. The female protagonists are not a few classmates who took the lead because they did not have time to rehearse for a long time.

The most popular Liu Tianxian only played a small role in it, and he only had a few lines in less than two minutes.

However, what is gratifying is that in previous years, there were always students who were absent from the graduation drama due to various reasons.

However, the career development is relatively good, and the 02 level of the Chinese drama should be busier, but today they are all here.

At the end of the graduation drama, all the 02-level Chinese Opera students, whether they participated in the performance or not, all took the stage together. The monitor and other representative students gave speeches one after another.

The most beautiful period of youth has passed away, and we are about to leave the university campus and go our separate ways. Everyone can't hide their sadness. Basically all the students have red eyes and tears streaming down their faces.

Wen Zhang, who has acted in many works such as "The Sky of Eighteen", "Days Related to Youth", and "Jinyiwei", is the most developed male student in the class.

When he spoke on behalf of all the classmates, he, who used to be arrogant and unruly in the class, was crying so hard that he couldn't open his eyes and had snot bubbles coming out of his nose.

"Finally, we are very, very grateful to Teacher Zeng Li. She is like a biological sister to us. She loves and takes care of us, cares about our lives, cares about our studies, and also finds opportunities for us to film.

………

She can memorize all the phone numbers of dozens of people in our class, knows each of our birthdays, and takes the initiative to help us solve any problems we have.

………

In the hearts of all our classmates, you are the best class teacher in the world. Thank you, Teacher Zeng. "

All the 2002 students from China National Theater Academy bowed together to Zeng Li, who was standing behind the curtain. The beauty Zeng had long since burst into tears.

Other teachers and students in the audience also applauded. Some people may have thought that everyone was trying to please Zeng Li, but in fact, they really just felt it and sincerely thanked him.

Human hearts are made of flesh. No matter what happens in the future, at least most of them are still college students with a certain degree of kindness and sensibility.

Zeng Li is indeed very good to this group of students. She is recognized as the best class teacher in China Drama. Almost all the students in Grade 02 have received her favor and help.

At this special moment today, all the students expressed their gratitude to Zeng Li in perfect harmony for her dedication and care during the four years of university.

Afterwards, many classmates talked around Zeng Li, took Zeng Li to take pictures, and came to school to see him when they had time. Maybe there was some selfishness in this, but at least at this moment, it was more sincere.

No matter how reluctant we were to leave, the song finally came to an end and everyone went their separate ways after the final group photo.

Zeng Li touched her slightly red and swollen eyes and went back to the office to pack her things. After graduating from Grade 02, she was also planning to "go abroad for further study" and it would probably be two years before she could come back.

In fact, the things from before were almost packed, just a small box. Zeng Li carried it out and was stopped by someone at the corner of the stairs.

Taking a closer look, it was Tong Yao who was a little embarrassed. When she saw Zeng Li, she lowered her head.

"I don't dare to ask for your forgiveness, but I still want to say sorry to the teacher. Regardless of whether you recognize me or not, in Tong Yao's heart, you will always be my teacher."

After speaking, she bowed deeply to Zeng Li and left in a hurry. Empress Xigong looked at her back and was stunned for a few seconds until she was awakened by a familiar voice.

"Relenting?"

"No."

Zeng Li shook his head, took the wet wipes handed over by Cao Xuan, wiped his eyes, and said with some regret: "I'm just feeling a little emotional, I'm a beautiful lady, but..."

"Everyone has his or her own destiny. You have to walk the path you choose on your knees. Not to mention you are a teacher, even your parents can't control it. Let's go, go home, and celebrate your escape from the 'sea of ​​suffering'."

Zeng Li didn't hesitate. He handed the box to Cao Xuan, looked at his peaked cap, big black mask and high-collar jacket, and joked.

"You're not hot."

"I also said that in order to cheer you up, I never dared to take it off. It was so hot in July that it almost covered me to death."

"Yeah, who asked you to come."

"What you said is so heartless. Who did I suffer this for? Now you say I deserve it?"

"Then you can't dress up like this. It's too eye-catching. Anyone who looks at it will think that they are either crazy or there is something fishy."

"Just hire him. If someone asks you later, just say he is the father of the child."

"Bah, my child doesn't have such an unobtrusive father."

"..."

Perhaps influenced by the youthful atmosphere of the school, the two "old couples" in their 30s couldn't help but bicker like young lovers and fight in the campus paths.

The hearty and crisp laughter made a male classmate passing by pull down his face, feeling like a dog that was walking well but was suddenly kicked...
