Chapter 38 Premiere Box Office and Misfit Loach
On August [-], [-], "Crazy Stone" was screened in theaters for the ninth day.

Although due to the shortage of funds for filming, Cao Qing hardly had any publicity funds left after filming the film, but as a new era traveler who understands the importance of the navy, Cao Qing still made full use of the film after filming. In the end, only less than 2 yuan was left for publicity.

One dime a promotional post, Cao Qing is responsible for giving a basic draft, through some "great masters" who spend their days in Internet cafes all the year round, Cao Qing frantically posts promotional posts for his movie "Crazy Stone" on the Internet.

Just a week later, after all the 2 yuan was spent, Cao Qing's movie "Crazy Stone" finally attracted some curious people to watch it in the cinema on the first day of its release.

This is also the reason why there are several movies in the same period, and several leading actors such as Cao Qing and Liu Yijun are not well-known in the entertainment industry, but they can still increase the attendance rate to nearly half.

With these first batch of audiences drawn into the cinema as the initial flow, although the movie "Crazy Stone" had only a 7.7% screening rate in the major theaters at the beginning, but the good quality and reputation of the movie itself Under the circumstances, the film's box office growth rate finally began to ferment and increase day by day.

On the morning of August 83500rd, according to the box office statistics given by major theaters, the box office data for the first day of "Crazy Stone" was about [-] yuan.

If it continues to develop according to such data, the final box office of Cao Qing's movie will probably not exceed 300 million.

But data is just data after all. In reality, the response of theater chains is not slow. Those theater operators who found profits were quite quick one by one.

On the second day alone, the film schedule of "Crazy Stone" was increased to 9.5%, and even so, "Crazy Stone" still maintained more than half of the average daily show in each cinema attendance rate, and this data is still rising steadily.

The performance of "Crazy Stone" made all theater managers quite satisfied. With their support and adjustments, in just one week, the screening rate of "Crazy Stone" has increased to 18.3%.

With an 18.3% film schedule, coupled with the current attendance rate that has increased to about 113%, the box office of "Crazy Stone" has reached a full [-] million in one week.

At this point, "Crazy Stone" finally caused some waves in the movie circle. For the first time, Cao Qing's name appeared in the eyes of everyone in the entertainment circle. Comments and praise from people.

……

"The appearance of a film like "Crazy Stone" is simply a destruction of the mainland film culture."

"It's funny, but it's extremely hollow and meaningless."

"After watching this movie, it was like drinking a cheap cheap soda when I was extremely thirsty."

"Although at that time I was barely able to force myself to endure its pungent taste and drink it while pinching my nose, and even within a few seconds after drinking it, it still gave me A tinge of cheap pleasure, but after the few seconds of short-lived pleasure disappeared, I realized that drinking this bottle of inferior soda not only failed to quench my thirst, but was even more stimulating and made my taste buds uncomfortable."

"The emergence of this kind of film is not only not beneficial to our entire film culture in the mainland, it can even be said to have no great harm or hidden danger."

"However, I heard that Cao Qing, the director of this movie, is just a half-time monk from a wild background, and has never received the orthodox director knowledge education from a film and television school. Therefore, I think this kind of mistake is understandable. I just hope that he will be able to Reflect a lot, get admitted to an orthodox film and television school as soon as possible to receive director knowledge training, and never make this kind of disgusting soda-type garbage movie again——Wang Yuan, a well-known film critic."

……

"This is an entertainment movie that exists only for vulgar and funny. From the very beginning, like the director of this movie, Cao Qing, he didn't have a deep understanding of movie culture. It was just for pure entertainment. Entertain the audience."

"However, in comparison, domestic films have long been quite lacking in interest, and most filmmakers are self-confident. Therefore, although this film cannot be listed in the elegant hall, it is more boring than many rubbish films that are completely incomprehensible. As far as director Cao Qing is concerned, this film can barely be considered qualified as director Cao Qing’s first newcomer film—Zhuang Weiming, teacher of Beijing Film Academy.”

……

"This is the worst comedy movie I have ever seen. All kinds of complicated and tangled clues are tangled together. Desperate for the future—new director Guo Bo."

……

"This is the most complex and changeable domestic comedy I have ever seen. It is different from all previous domestic comedies. It is not only a rare film with a multi-line narrative structure, but also has exceptionally clear logic and sharp and clean scene transitions. Way."

"TND! After I watched this movie, I even felt that I would not be able to watch most of the domestic comedy movies in the future. Director Cao Qing may have to compensate me-Jia Zhangke for this point."

……

In the small courtyard room, many newspapers and magazines were spread out on the table one by one.

Taking advantage of the bright sunlight coming in from the window of the room, Cao Qing slowly flipped through the various newspapers and magazines on the table. All fragments of "Stone" were found.

Looking at the sharp film reviews about her movies in these newspapers and magazines, Cao Qing's eyes were sharp, and her inner emotions gradually calmed down after experiencing a very short period of anger.

Staring thoughtfully at all the names of film critics appearing in these newspapers and magazines, I thought about the identity and background of these film critics little by little.

Gradually, Cao Qing began to realize a problem.

I don't seem to be in any circle in today's movie circle.

Born in the grassroots, he was an orphan since he was a child. After a simple nine-year compulsory education, he began to wander around the society and grew up stumbled all the way.

Enter the factory, work part-time, and when I earn money, I rent a house and eat and drink in Internet cafes every day; when the money is spent, I continue to work in the factory.

In this way, until Cao Qing crossed over, the original owner of this body was finally freed after 20 years of unexamined life.

With such an identity, such a background, and never being in contact with the entertainment and film circles, those veterans in the film circle, who have always regarded themselves as superior, think highly of Cao Qing, and how are they willing to treat him Summarized as one of our own?
"The Beijing circle, the northwest circle, and the teacher-student circles of major film and television colleges are all the same, and I can't take them all."

"Good guy, it turned out that from the very beginning, I was like a mud loach getting into a carp's nest, and I was out of place."

Under the sun, Cao Qing was sitting on the chair with a straight body. He gently pinched his chin with a playful tone.
