The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 293
293 The Shocking First Day at the Box Office
To tell the truth, Zhong Cheng was very confident in “Crazy Stone”.
However, Zhong Cheng was still a little nervous. He had no idea what kind of box office results Crazy Stone could achieve.
In his previous life, Crazy Stone’s investment was very low, with only 3 million soft-sister notes.
It was said that at that time, he didn’t even have the proper equipment to shoot, so he used a DV to shoot. Later, he was favored by Heavenly King Liu Dehua. He became the producer of Crazy Stone and made a plan to support the rookies. Lin Hao became famous with Crazy Stone and became famous in commercial movies.
In his previous life, Crazy Stone invested three million soft-girl notes, but the box office grossed 23 million soft-girl notes. At that time, the Chinese movie industry was not like in the past few years, when box office receipts were easily hundreds of millions of dollars or even billions of dollars.
At that time, the box office had already made many filmmakers jealous.
Most importantly, he had only invested three million yuan, which was simply a money-laundering machine!
Also, “Crazy Stone” happened to encounter the 2006 World Cup in Germany, and the box office was affected. If it wasn’t for this special period, the box office would definitely have been even higher.
And in his previous life, there were people who kept saying that if Crazy Stone came out a few years later, the box office would definitely be more than a billion dollars easy. “Crazy Stone” was much better than some movies that took in more than a billion yuan in box office receipts.
And now, Zhong Cheng and the others had invested more in this “Crazy Stone”, making it even more serious and careful. The requirements for details, acting skills, and other aspects of the plot were even more elaborate, so Zhong Cheng was confident.
However, Zhong Cheng wasn’t very clear about the current market. He didn’t know how different it was from his previous life. Zhong Cheng wasn’t very clear about it, so he was somewhat nervous.
Isabella George was also a little nervous. She kept looking at Zhong Cheng.
Zhong Cheng smiled and said, “I have confidence in this movie!”
Zhong Cheng’s investment in “Crazy Stone” reached 6 million soft-girl notes, although it wasn’t much. It was incomparable to those movies that would invest hundreds of millions of dollars in the future.
However, this is the first film of Zhong Cheng Pictures, so it’s not bad to make it like this.
Although everyone had heard Zhong Cheng’s words, they were still very worried.
Especially Lin Hao. Previously, he had some fame in the field of literary films. This was his first commercial film. The current trend of directors is commercial films, the future will definitely be the world of commercial film directors. It’s fake that you say he doesn’t want to be a commercial director, and even he thinks highly of it.
At this moment, Lin Hao was extremely nervous. Sitting there was embarrassing, just like he was waiting for his report card after taking the college entrance exam. It was also like he was waiting outside the delivery room for his child to be born …
Lin Hao clenched his hands tightly together, almost turning pale! But Lin Hao didn’t realize it, his eyes were already empty.
Huang Po, who was sitting beside Lin Hao, was nervous. He had a dream of becoming a singer and had left his hometown Qin Island for the capital to play music. He even formed a band called Blue Wind Sand. However, he was also disheartened by the fact that none of them had made a name for himself.
Later, Huang had to give up his musical dreams and return to Qin Island, where he started his own business and opened a factory, but soon went bankrupt.
Huang Po stayed in his hometown and was very unhappy. His life was not what he wanted. Later, he ignored the opposition of his family and ran to the capital to continue his music dream.
However, many things happened during this period, and he later appeared in Guan Hu’s movie “Get in the car, let’s go.” The film did not go online, but went straight to the TV movie channel. The film won the Golden Rooster Award for Best TV Movie.
But the award did nothing to help Huang’s fame. Later, at the age of 28, he was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy’s film and television dubbing department. He had done a lot of film and television animation dubbing, but he rarely had the chance to come to the scene.
Huang Bo’s heart has always had a star dream, he has been working hard, in the struggle. But he didn’t have any chance, and it was at this moment that “Zhong Cheng Pictures” found him, wanting to sign him as an actor for “Zhong Cheng Pictures”.
Huang Po was very excited at that time. In this situation, he was in “Crazy Stone”. Although he wasn’t the main character in this play, he was also a supporting character with many parts. This was also the first step he took in the movie industry!
He is so eager to succeed that if the film succeeds, everyone will be happy.
If the movie didn’t succeed, Huang Po’s heart would shake. If he couldn’t get any more results, his boss’s mother hoped that he could return to Qin Island and live a normal life. He wouldn’t be wandering around anymore.
Huang Po naturally didn’t want to leave his favorite career just like that. He was praying that this movie would succeed, that it would succeed!
Huang Po was restless. He stood up and sat up countless times. The neck that he stretched out was about to break.
Huang Po muttered to himself, “Why aren’t you here yet? Why aren’t you coming out of the box office on the first day?”
Guo Tao and Xu Zheng were better off. These two people were already quite famous and had participated in some TV dramas, especially Xu Zheng. However, there were not many chances for them to participate in movies, and they were more or less nervous in their hearts.
They were still very concerned about the box office of the play, and their success or failure depended on it!
Apart from these people, there were also some creators of Crazy Stone. They were also very nervous. Did they look up at the clock on the wall and watch the seconds pass by? They all sighed and wondered why the time was so slow.
Zhong Cheng looked at the people in the room and smiled in his heart.
Zhong Cheng came to Huang Po’s side and patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t be too nervous. We’ve all seen the movie. What do you think of the movie?”
Huang Po was slightly stunned. He looked at Zhong Cheng and was somewhat dumbfounded.
It took Huang Po a while to react. He immediately said, but he didn’t expect his voice to tremble, “Ah … I … I … I … The movie was … very good! It was funny, very good!”
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, “Since you think the movie is so good, I think the fans will think the same. Don’t worry, you’re going to be popular!”
Huang Po knew that Zhong Cheng was encouraging him, and he was very grateful in his heart.
Huang Po already knew that he was able to join Zhong Cheng Pictures and participate in this play because Zhong Cheng, Zhong Cheng had taken a fancy to him, and asked him to sign up for this play, and it was said that he had not prepared a few leading roles in the future.
Now the whole Zhong Cheng Pictures knew that the boss wanted to praise him!
Huang Po was not that kind of fresh meat. He was not handsome, and now he looked like an ordinary person. Why did the boss have to praise him?
Huang Po only had one gratitude, and his heart was filled with gratitude for knowing what he had met and for dying for his confidante!
At this moment, the boss was still comforting him, which made Huang Po even more grateful. Huang Po knew that Zhong Cheng was letting him relax, no longer nervous, and was joking.
Huang Po was very excited and grateful. He nodded to Zhong Cheng and said, “Thank you, boss!”
Zhong Cheng chuckled, then turned around and said to everyone, “Don’t be too nervous, I believe you!”
Lin Hao and the others all smiled at Zhong Cheng and didn’t say anything else!
At this moment, a hurried scripting sound came from the corridor outside the door. It was approaching the room from afar. Everyone in the room felt their hearts skip a beat!
Coming! Finally!
The people in the room were all very excited. They all raised their heads and looked outside the door. Their faces were filled with anticipation and urgency.
However, as the footsteps approached, everyone was stunned and suddenly became scared again. Afraid that someone would spread the news, they were afraid that the box office would not meet their expectations and bring news of failure.
Everyone’s faces turned to one side, feeling uneasy. Their footsteps instantly stopped, and they even withdrew, not daring to move an inch!
Worry, endless worry!
Lin Hao rubbed his hands. It was as if he could no longer hear anything. He could only hear the crazy heartbeat in his chest!
Huang Po’s heart was also very nervous and worried. He suddenly had a feeling that he was waiting for his report card after the college entrance exam. His heart was in turmoil, hoping to see the results as soon as possible, but also afraid to see the results.
There was not a single sound in the room. Everyone held their breath and waited for God’s judgment.
Zhong Cheng’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the door. He didn’t have much worry in his heart. Even if the play didn’t work, there would still be another one. Zhong Cheng was very confident in this group of people, and he was also very confident in the film market in the future.
At this moment, the door to the room was still open, but the excited and hurried voice had already rang out, “Fire! Fire! I’m fire!” “Crazy Stone!” Fire! “” Crazy Stone! ”
Everyone in the room was stunned. They were all stunned, as if they did not believe what they had heard.
Lin Hao and Huang Po looked at each other. Lin Hao was even more puzzled as Huang Po said, “It seems like we’re getting angry outside, isn’t it?”
Huang Po was also slightly stunned as he said in a daze, “It seems so, right?”
The others beside Huang Po also had the same expression. They didn’t believe what they heard. They were still suspicious of themselves, extremely suspicious.
At this moment, with a bang, the people in the room were pushed away.
“Boss, boss, we’re on fire,” a frantic young man rushed in. “Crazy Stones are on sale, we’re on fire!” He roared excitedly.
Zhong Cheng was delighted. He immediately stepped forward and stared at the person who had come to announce his happiness. He immediately asked, “What is the situation? Tell me clearly? Tell me clearly! How much did the box office take on the first day?”
Lin Hao, Huang Po, and the others immediately gathered around and stared at the person.
The man, Han Tao, an employee of Zhong Cheng Pictures, was sent to inquire about the opening day of Madness Stone. Now that he’s back, it speaks for itself.
Looking at the attention of so many people, especially his boss, he took a deep breath and couldn’t help but say excitedly, “Boss, 2.5 million.” The Crazy Stone’s opening day grossed an astonishing 2.5 million. We’re on fire, big fire! ”
The box office grossed 2.5 million yuan on the first day, so the box office could reach 10 million yuan in a week, 40 million yuan in a month, and the box office would definitely reach 60 million yuan when Crazy Stone went off the shelf.
If he could really reach 60 million, then it would really be a big fire!
You have to know, “Crazy Stone” only invested 6 million Soft Girl Bills, plus less than 8 million Soft Girl Bills in publicity. If the box office can really reach 60 million, then it will really make a lot of money!
Zhong Cheng shouted excitedly, “Beautiful! Indeed, it is not disappointing!”
Huang Po hugged Lin Hao tightly and roared excitedly, “Fire, we’re fire! Director Lin, we’re going to fire, we’re going to succeed!”
Lin Hao also hugged Huang Po and Xu Zheng excitedly. He patted Huang Po and Xu Zheng’s back with both hands and kept his mouth open, but didn’t make a sound …
