Chapter 282 Box Office

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Xun finished reading the script of "Nirvana in Fire". At this moment, he has confirmed one thing, that is, the content of this script is not much different from the previous version in his memory.

Prince Jing is still the same Prince Jing.

Mei Changsu is still the same Mei Changsu.

With a sigh of relief, Luo Xun knew that he could officially prepare for the "Nirvana in Fire" crew next, but before that, he had to wait for Kong Sheng and Hou Hongliang to finish reading the script of this work. He had asked Haiyan to send the script to the two of them for review.

The crew has been preparing for a while.

During this period, Luo Xun really wanted to get a sum of money to participate in the investment of "Nirvana in Fire", but the problem is that Luo Xun has no money now. The investment in the movie "Crazy Stone" and the TV series "Wulin Wai Zhuan" has completely emptied him. After all, his family background is not rich.

"We can only wait for the movie to make money."

If according to the situation in the previous life, "Crazy Stone" will complete the counterattack within a few days, then the money earned from the movie can be used to invest in his new drama, but this is a parallel time and space, and there are many variables, so Luo Xun dare not guarantee it. If the movie can be sure to make money, he will not suffer from insomnia last night.

What if the movie fails?

We can only let Xia Yu invest.

Fortunately, although movies are full of uncertainty, TV series are much better. The same wonderful TV series, even if it is broadcast on different TV stations or even at different time periods, as long as the story is wonderful, the possibility of success is still very high. Such an opportunity, Luo Xun will definitely let Xia Yu seize it even if he misses it!

"Lack of money."

Luo Xun thought helplessly.

Because of the lack of money, he didn't mention the idea of ​​setting up a studio to Kong Shuang. He should wait until "Crazy Stone" makes money, or wait until "Wulin Wai Zhuan" he invested in becomes popular before doing this. The former may not be a big hit, but the latter will definitely be popular!

The same sentence!

The success of a TV series depends more on the script. "Wulin Wai Zhuan" is a very powerful story no matter when you watch it. I am afraid that even the screenwriter himself cannot create a script of the same quality.

What comforts Luo Xun is that

After he opened Weibo, he found that some fans left comments in the comment area praising "Crazy Stone". Obviously, there were not many people, but their evaluation of the movie was quite good.

"The movie is really great!"

"I didn't expect that domestic comedy films could be made at this level. The actors in it are more interesting than each other. I am particularly surprised by Xun Ge's performance. After more than two years of not acting in movies, Xun Ge can now even be a comedian?"

"Crazy Stone! Wonderful!"

"I just finished watching "Crazy Stone". I watched this theme that I was not interested in because of Er Ye's face, but after watching it, I was dumbfounded. This is too good to be true. Without further ado, this movie is a blast!"

"A black humor movie, awesome!"

"After watching "Crazy Stone", I know that the Er Ye in our hearts has returned. You can bring endless surprises to fans as always. Although the attendance rate of this movie is not high, it does not prevent this movie from making me like Er Ye even more!"

"..."

Luo Xun looked at the forum again.

As expected, all the posts in his celebrity forum were praising Crazy Stone: "This movie is really great. Erye's comeback work is full of sincerity. I heard that Erye invested in this movie himself. I wish the movie a big box office hit!"

"It's better than Peacock."

"It's also better than The Myth."

"Haha, I think so too. The quality of the movie is definitely beyond doubt, but the style of Crazy Stone reminds me of the foreign director Guy Ritchie, with the shadow of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels."

"..."

These posts are full of enthusiasm. The remaining fans may have been infected and couldn't help asking in the comment area: "Is "Crazy Stone" really that good? I haven't had time to watch it these days."

"Me too."

"No time to watch it."

"See how exciting their discussion is. I'm a little itchy. I'm going to drive to the cinema tonight to watch "Crazy Stone". Who makes Erye my favorite actor!"

"I want to watch it too."

"I'm already at the cinema."

"A classmate of mine went to the premiere last night and kept talking to me all day about how good the movie is. He also dragged me to the cinema to watch it again. I just bought two tickets. I'll tell you about my feelings after I come out."

"..."

Is word of mouth spreading?

After browsing some movie forums and seeing some posts about "Crazy Stone", Luo Xun vaguely saw such signs, but good word of mouth alone is useless. It seems that not many fans have actually watched the movie.

Luo Xun frowned.

Although his fans are quite loyal, he still needs to work harder to make them walk into the cinema without doubt or even willingly because of his existence. This made him worry about the first-day box office of "Crazy Stone" again.

Facts have proved that Luo Xun's worries are not unreasonable. The low attendance rate at the premiere of "Crazy Stone" has foreshadowed everything. The next morning, Luo Xun saw the first-day box office of the movie.

120,000!

This data is very consistent with the characteristics of a small cast with an investment of two or three million. Fortunately, there was no media report that Luo Xun's return film had failed.

Because from beginning to end...

The media never paid attention to Luo Xun...

The focus of this National Day is on "The Myth", Jackie Chan from Hong Kong, and the achievement of this movie's first-day box office of over 3 million. Naturally, the background of this movie is not the small cast of "Crazy Stone". The movie that serves as a foil for Jackie Chan is Gu Changwei's "Peacock", which barely broke 800,000 on the first day!

"Jackie Chan's new movie is a big hit!"

"Jackie Chan's new movie wins the box office but loses word of mouth."

"Gu Changwei's movie "Peacock" is well-received but not popular."

"Another comparison of the mainland Hong Kong film industry: Behind the box office defeat of "Peacock" and "The Myth" is the overwhelming advantage of Hong Kong movies over mainland movies in terms of commerciality!"

"..."

Behind all kinds of news and reports, mainland filmmakers sighed helplessly again. "Peacock" was ultimately no match for Jackie Chan's ambitious commercial blockbuster "The Myth". Even if it was expected, the huge gap still made many people sigh.

Obviously, "Peacock" is a failure.

The reputation of this movie is not bad, and the score given by Douban is also quite high. However, the score and reputation can not save the inherent defect of too few audiences of this movie. It is too difficult for art films to become popular.

Luo Xun was also slightly hit.

Although he had a hunch that the first-day box office of "Crazy Stone" might not be very good, after all, this movie had a small investment and the publicity was far inferior to the other two movies, but the first-day box office of only 120,000 still made him speechless.

What Luo Xun didn't know was...

On this night, a storm about word of mouth had begun to brew.
