Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

  Chapter 657 Costume sitcom

  In the following time, the word-of-mouth of "Crazy Stone" has fermented so much that it has already thrown off "Quick Escape" and has been maintaining the status of the single-day box office champion.

  One month later, the box office of this movie reached 1.8 billion!

  This result stunned everyone. Before the filming started, no one thought that Chen Mubai’s next film could reach such a high box office!

   has surpassed the box office and popularity of "Buried Alive"!

  On the first day's pre-sale box office results and the first day's box office results, "Crazy Stone" completely defeated "Buried Alive". Many people think that the box office of this movie should drop a lot and fall back to a normal category.

  Compared to "Buried Alive", this film did not receive any awards. It relied on Chen Mubai's fame and influence. In addition, it all relied on the reputation and influence of the film. The quality was too high to attract everyone's scramble to watch.

  "Buried Alive" was popular abroad, and after winning the prize, it became popular in China.

  Many people went to see it under the title of "Venice Film Festival Golden Lion Award", and they felt that the quality of this award-winning film should not be bad.

  So in terms of publicity, the effect of "Buried Alive" is far greater than that of "Crazy Stone", and many Chinese media have spontaneously created momentum for this movie.

  It can be said that "Buried Alive" laid the foundation, and "Crazy Stone" continued to forge ahead at this level, did not fall, and lived up to expectations.

  Chen Mubai became famous in the first battle, which is different from the popularity of "Buried Alive" which is based on awards. Although the quality of the film is not bad, the box office is still somewhat high.

  "Crazy Stone" is a complete manifestation of strength. There is no blessing of any awards. It depends on the quality and reputation of the work. A movie that is extremely good, and the audience is willing to pay for it.

Whether it is between ordinary audiences or film critics, the film has received mostly positive reviews and few negative reviews. Major film critics are analyzing the film and discussing the future of low-cost comedies. .

  This movie is a model of Xiaoboda, without superstars, no awards, and relying on the quality and reputation of the work. It is less than two Hollywood blockbusters in publicity and less than two domestic blockbusters.

  But in the end, the box office was able to rank second in the summer file. This is a miracle!

Among the several blockbuster films in the summer, with the exception of "Crazy Stone", the investment of several other films far exceeds that of "Crazy Stone" by several times. In particular, although the number one sci-fi film has a box office of more than 2 billion, he The production cost is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars!

  However, foreign films are geared to the global market, and cannot be calculated based on the China market.

  Take the other two domestic blockbusters as an example. The investment is basically more than 200 million, and the box office is 600 million and 800 million. It seems that they have made money, but they have not made much.

  And "Crazy Stone" also paid a little bit higher for a few starring actors. The investment was only tens of millions, but they got 1.8 billion in the box office. What a big profit!

  The other three participating in the dividends are all happy and crazy. Although they only occupy a small head, they are also a very high income!

  The box office of this movie has caused a shock in the industry. Everyone has estimated and reassessed that when the movie is released, the box office should be able to get 2 billion!

  Chen Mubai's second film won 2 billion box office, once again moving everyone!

  There are a lot of directors' works that add up to not such a high box office, and Chen Mubai has achieved it in one!

  Even in China, a film with a box office of more than 2 billion is the appeal of only a few directors. With this film, Chen Mubai ranks among the top directors of China.

  This is not a coincidence, "Buried Alive" also earned 1.5 billion at the box office, and the two films together can get a total of 3.5 billion at the box office!

In terms of box office performance, Chen Mubai’s first two films as a director were extremely successful, and basically no director had his performance!

  Qidali, Jiaxing and other companies regretted it, but Chen Mubai was so strong, and the company that didn't get on the bus really regretted it.

  This is just the result of a movie, although the benefits are large enough, it will not make them regret it.

  But Chen Mubai is too enchanting, and his future works will not be bad. This kind of long-standing interest is what they covet the most, but it is a pity that they have no chance to get involved.

  The "Crazy Stone" celebration banquet has been held, and all the actors are very happy.

  Xia Fan became popular because of his role in the sewers, and he was very popular in front of the audience. There were also many olive branches tossed at him in the industry.

When Chen Mubai appeared on the show, he deliberately said about Xia Fan’s play and his dedication to this play. Many people have seen Xia Fan’s serious attitude. This attitude is the director’s favorite attitude. There are more opportunities.

  Don’t say let him play the leading role, but it’s okay to play a supporting role with a lot of drama, or a role like the male third.

  Mubaai Entertainment’s projects are basically making money, the company has a lot of liquidity, and the company's scale has become very large.

  This situation will continue, and Mubai Entertainment will become more and more prosperous.

  At the beginning, a small workshop company, in a blink of an eye, has become a powerful company and a mid-level entertainment company.

  Although it is not as large as Starway Entertainment and Extraordinary Entertainment, it is also a middle-level company.

  But more than that, the potential of Mubai Entertainment is very large, which is recognized in the industry, and some people even believe that Mubai Entertainment will threaten the status of Extraordinary Entertainment in the future and become the number one middle-level entertainment company!

  As for becoming the eighth largest?

  This is too difficult, everyone still dare not think about it. It is not as successful as Extraordinary Entertainment, not to mention Mubai Entertainment without its backing. It is already a very remarkable thing to be able to get there!

   "Brother Lu, I have a new work recently."

  Chen Mubai was involved in the promotion of the film before, and he has just recently been idle and started planning his next work.

  "Don't take a break anymore?" Lu Fang was a little surprised.

  This is too diligent!

  If ordinary people are like Chen Mubai, they will definitely not work so hard, so take a while to relax.

  Now he is not just a star, he has to run schedules and announcements outside. He is a well-known director + actor. Many film and television works want to invite him to act, but he refused.

  In Chen Mubai's opinion, there is no need to act!

  Although he will be paid a lot of money, the quality of the film cannot be guaranteed. It is better to shoot your own. At least this good reputation will definitely be maintained, and it will not be said that it is bad money.

  Furthermore, he doesn't have any favors to pay back, so there is no need to play some movies of unknown quality to consume his good reputation and fame.

  No matter how good a star is, if he plays too many bad movies, he will be sprayed by his character.

  So, for this kind of invitation, Chen Mubai refused. It's not that he doesn't have no movies. He has good works, at least in terms of word-of-mouth.

  As a director, he spends more time resting or polishing his work. New works are definitely not frequent. Although there will be heat, the result of high-intensity filming is that the quality will decline.

   Therefore, well-known directors always produce a work in a year or even a few years. If they have a reputation, they will not lack exposure and capital. Most people will pay for the films they make.

  Like Chen Mubai is already a very good director now, he should take more rest and polish the work slowly to avoid insufficient energy and prevent the quality of the work from falling.

  The more famous people are, the more they cherish their feathers. Once the lower works are no longer good, many people will sing badly, which will have a great influence on fame and influence.

   Especially people like Chen Mubai who are currently on the rise, should pay more attention to the quality of the film rather than the quantity.

  However, Lu Fang had a certain trust in Chen Mubai, and he would not think that his abilities would go wrong. He was just worried about his physical condition. The impact of high-intensity work on the body was still great.

   "I am not shooting now, and I will have some time to prepare." Chen Mubai explained.

   "I have two works now, a TV series and a movie."

  He came this time mainly for the TV series. The filming of the movie will not be so fast, and it will take a while.

  Mubai Entertainment is currently on the rise. Chen Mubai wants to take advantage of the current influence and continue to produce new works. With this enthusiasm, the name of Mubai Entertainment will expand its influence, and the golden sign will be firmly established.

   "Oh?" Lu Fang was a little surprised: "Is it a new TV series?"

  The previous TV series "Langya List" was a big success, and everyone is still looking forward to Mubai Entertainment's next play or the script written by Chen Mubai.

  The TV series that Chen Yunteng shot before have come out, and the quality is not bad, but it does not reach the quality of Chen Mubai, which is above the pass line.

  Ji Yuxuan’s TV series is under preparation, and Mubai Entertainment is not without new works. After leaving Chen Mubai, the company is also operating normally, and everything is developing in a good direction.

  Of course, the work of Chen Mubai is the king of Mubai Entertainment. After all, the quality and reputation of each work is very good, and the people in the company also think so.

  Now that Chen Mubai has a new script, Lu Fang is naturally surprised.

   "What type is this time?" Lu Fang asked.

   "It's still a costume drama, but a sitcom."

   "Similar to "Dao Si Men"?"

  Lu Fang didn't expect to go round and round to return to the original starting point, only to change from a city into a costume drama.

   "Almost, but this is a main story, not all of them are independent comedy scenes."

   "Okay, I can rest assured of your script, and I will be ready to start shooting at any time."

   "It doesn't take much investment. I use this drama to train new actors. Then you can find the right people, or let Xia Fan and Xia Jie star in them to expand their reputation."

   "This is a group drama. Many of the characters have similar roles, but there is no distinction between who is the special lead."

  Lu Fang nodded and said, "No problem, I will find actors according to your requirements at that time."

  Many of Chen Mubai’s works are not based on the reputation and status of the actors, but more on the fit of the roles, so there are so many praised roles.

   "Well, let Chen Yunteng come to shoot, isn't he free now." Chen Mubai nodded.

   "What about you, take a break during this time, don't be so eager to shoot a movie, you will be exhausted." Lu Fang persuaded.

  It takes only a few months to make a movie. It’s not easy to be floating outside every day, wind and rain.

  Chen Mubai has to produce for the post-production of the film after the filming of "Crazy Stone". After the film is finished, he needs to promote the film, run on various occasions, and promote variety shows. There is really no rest time.

  Finally, now he can take a break for a while, and he has a new movie plan coming out. Isn’t there no time for a break?

  This is too tired, Lu Fang still hopes that Chen Mubai can rest more.

"I see." Chen Mubai said with a smile: "I have been busy with work for most of the year, and I didn't spend much time with Yaoyao. Just taking advantage of the fact that both of them are resting now, I am going to accompany her to go abroad for a trip. Prepare for the new movie."

   "It's okay to go out to play, relax, I'm afraid you will plunge into work and break your body." Lu Fang smiled heartily.

   "Brother Lu, you are busy, I will go to Chen Yunteng to explain."

"Ok."

  Lu Fang is the company’s general manager and is also responsible for the company’s daily operations. In the past two years, Mubai Entertainment has developed rapidly. Lu Fang’s work is not easy, and he manages many things every day.

  The recent "Crazy Stone" fire, he has been paying close attention to this aspect, and has been promoting and building momentum for the film, hoping that the performance of the film can reach a new height, which is also of great benefit to the development of the company.

  Leaving Lu Fang’s office, Chen Mubai returned to his office and found Chen Yunteng.
