The future that Luo Xun is looking forward to is actually not that far away, because the distributor of "Crazy Stone" has officially set the release date, and the release date is October 1st, which is the national holiday——

National Day!

This is no longer a butterfly effect but a direct change in history. In the previous life, "Crazy Stone" did not get such a good schedule. National Day is when office workers usher in the holiday. The movie is released at this time, and the ambition is already It’s so obvious!

Luo Xun also has reason to look forward to it.

After all, "Crazy Stone" in the previous life did not have the opportunity to be promoted on a front-line variety show such as "Happy Camp", nor did it have the opportunity to be released during a prime period like National Day. In addition, Luo Xun's own fame would add far more to the film. More than the original actor Lian Jin, these are advantages that the original movie never had in the previous life!

on Weibo.

Luo Xun reposted the trailer of "Crazy Stone" and cut out a few funny clips to post. Soon many fans left comments below——

"It's interesting!"

"Just looking at the trailer, I'm quite looking forward to it, but it seems to be a movie in dialect, Chongqing dialect. As a Chongqing native, I feel comfortable listening to this dialect. I just don't know what audiences in other places think."

"It should be divided into languages."

"As we all know, trailers only reveal part of the essence of a movie. Basically, the trailers of all movies are not too bad. After all, you still need to watch the entire movie."

"..."

Compared with the previous version of "Crazy Stone", which was released in obscurity and then became a blockbuster, this version has already raised a certain amount of audience expectations before it was released.

But Luo Xun was also worried.

Because October 1st is a very important movie schedule, in addition to "Crazy Stone", there are also two highly anticipated movies released on this day, namely "Myth" starring Jackie Chan and Korean actor Kim Hee Sun, and Top photographer Gu Changwei's film debut "Peacock"!

Among them, "Myth" is the most terrifying!

Although Luo Xun couldn't remember how much box office the movie "Myth" had in his previous life, he was sure it was much more than "Crazy Stone". This was a serious movie with a big cast, and many people in the industry Everyone is staring at this movie, and the eldest brother's box office appeal is far greater than that of an actor like Luo Xun. It can be said that the two parties are not on the same level at all!

"Don't worry too much."

Kong Shuang joked with Luo Xun: "My eldest brother may not even know that a movie like yours will be released during the National Day. The only rival that he can barely pay attention to during the same period is probably Gu Changwei's "Peacock"."

Luo Xun rolled his eyes.

Although Kong Shuang was joking, he was also telling the truth. "Myth" has a big cast and he would not take "Crazy Stone" seriously. Gu Changwei's "Peacock" will make him pay more serious attention.

Gu Changwei!

A classmate of Lao Mouzi and Chen Kaige, he won the Best Cinematography Award at the 8th China Golden Rooster Award for the movie "Red Sorghum", and also participated in the filming of the famous "Farewell My Concubine", not to mention "The Devil Is Coming" and "It's Sunny" was all the works he was responsible for. This is a big shot who has been nominated for an Oscar. Even if it is his first time making a movie from a photographer to a director, no one dares to underestimate him because of this!

A person’s name is like a tree’s shadow!

Some people say that Gu Changwei may become the second Lao Mouzi, because Lao Mouzi also changed his career from photography to director, so the investors of "Peacock" value Gu Changwei very much, and they spared no expense in promoting the movie "Peacock", which is almost the same as Ka The company's larger "Myth" promotion scale is almost the same!

Also to study the opponent.

Luo Xun specially watched the announcement news of the next two movies. He felt that these two movies were so desperate in promoting, and there was no lack of antagonism between Hong Kong and the mainland film and television circles. When Jackie Chan's movie came, the mainland would definitely not be willing to do so. Don't give up, even if Xiangjiang's strength has indeed been suppressed in the mainland for a long time, so the two movies are now vaguely tit for tat.

"Fairy fight."

Some people think so.

Under such circumstances, the commotion caused by "Crazy Stone" is actually nothing at all. Not to mention Jackie Chan, I am afraid that Gu Changwei did not even take this multi-million investment trial work into consideration.

"I was secretly happy at first."

In a WeChat group chat called "Crazy Stone", Guo Tao posted a sweaty emoji: "When I saw that Jackie Chan's "Myth" and Gu Changwei's "Peacock" were also released on this schedule, my heart suddenly changed. It’s so cold, how come we are in such a situation where gods are fighting?”

"After all, it's National Day."

This time it was Xu Zheng who spoke: "May Day, National Day, Spring Festival, etc., have always been battlegrounds for military strategists, but I don't think this has such a big impact on us, because our type does not conflict with theirs. , we are a low-budget comedy, and we are not afraid of beatings.”

"Tsk, tsk."

Huang Bo also bubbled up: "Old Xu, what you said is unreasonable. No matter how small the cost of "Crazy Stone" is, our second master still invested millions, so we must still hope for something better. "

"That must be true."

Xu Zheng said: "And I look at the situation. Even though "Peacock" is so popular, it still can't be compared with "The Myth". Gu Changwei's film style is an artistic film at first glance, while Jackie Chan's is a commercial film. The attributes have already determined success or failure."

Luo Xun said nothing.

However, looking at Xu Zheng's analysis, he secretly thought that Xu Zheng was indeed very insightful. His future success was really due to his long-term vision. Maybe he could consider continuing to cooperate with Xu Zheng in the future, such as participating in his "囧" series?

As for the judgment of the current situation...

Luo Xun was not sure. The film market was changing rapidly. Unlike TV series, as long as the quality was good, it would basically be popular no matter how it was broadcast. Movies had a certain amount of luck. Sometimes the same movie, released in different periods, would have completely different results!

He could only say...

This "Crazy Stone" is likely to make a comeback like the previous life. After all, the excellence of this movie is obvious, but Luo Xun is looking forward to it but is not sure how much box office it can get.

He analyzed it again in his mind.

Luo Xun suddenly smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, there are more things to worry about as a film and television investor. If I was just one of the actors in "Crazy Stone" instead of the investor of this movie, I would not be so nervous at all. Maybe I can consider setting up my own personal studio, which would be much more convenient. By the way, the time should be about the same."
