Chapter 40 Add one, the three major become the four major!
On July 7, Lin Yicheng and the main creative crew set off for Tianjin.

And in the media, news about "Crazy Stone" is still making headlines.

For example, a video of Lin Yicheng’s roadshow appeared on NetEase News, and countless people saw Lin Yicheng’s sincerity and genuineness, as well as the audience’s enthusiasm and admiration.

Then they also turned off their computers, walked out of the house and went into the cinema.

In the afternoon, the first day box office statistics of "Crazy Stone" were finally released.

Since most cinemas are not connected to the Internet now, it is still difficult to know the box office figures first.

Fortunately, thanks to China Film Group, we were able to get the specific numbers the next day.

After taking a look at the numbers on his phone, Lin Yicheng smiled, very happily.

"Director, how much?" Huang Bo asked.

Others also looked at him intently, wanting to hear the answer from him.

“Not much~” Lin Yicheng deliberately prolonged his tone, and before everyone showed their disappointed expressions, he said lightly: “Just over 500 million.”

Everyone was speechless for a moment. Five million, isn't that a lot? Explain to me how this isn't a lot?!

Senior Yao Di gave Lin Yicheng a cold look. If there weren’t so many people around, she would have pounced on him and bit him!

"Director Lin is awesome!" Guangtou Xu was the first to flatter him.

500 million. In this year's film market, not to mention a first-day box office of 500 million, there are not many films that even have a total box office of 500 million.

To make an analogy, last year Feng Kuzi's "A World Without Thieves" had a box office of over 600 million on the first day and finally earned 1.2 million.

If that's the case, then Crazy Stone...

hiss~
I don't know who took a breath of cold air and contributed to global warming.

……

Not only they think so, but also in China Film Group, Mr. Han Sanye’s office.

Mr. Han's face was flushed, and he waved his hand, "Contact Qingying and Xinghe, and ask the three companies to give you another 300 yuan to increase publicity!"

Seeing the secretary taking orders and leaving, Mr. Han San couldn't help laughing.

The first day's box office was over 500 million. Today is Saturday, and if nothing unexpected happens, the box office will go up a bit. Plus, tomorrow is Sunday, so it is very likely that the box office of the first three days will be able to break even, and the rest will be profit!
If you don't strike while the iron is hot now, what are you waiting for?

Han Sanye's mind reappeared Lin Yicheng's words that day: "5000 million is the minimum, 8000 million is the target."

Judging from the current situation, 5000 million is a sure thing, and 8000 million is not impossible!
Uncle Han San seemed to have foreseen the day when the movie would be a big hit at the box office and he would achieve his political achievements.

He laughed even happier.

……

Of course, the media will not miss any hot topics, especially those about "Crazy Stone", which represents sales and click rates.

As a result, the news that Crazy Stone’s first-day box office exceeded 500 million appeared all over the media, with all kinds of praise, commendation, and comments...

After Tianjin is Shanghai, after Shanghai is Hangzhou, Jinling, Ludao, Yangcheng...

The crew worked non-stop. They ate and slept as soon as they got in the car, and expressed their gratitude and continued hard work as soon as they got out of the car.

No matter how hard or tiring it is, you must persevere and be full of motivation!
Because the box office figures are rising like a rocket!

On July 7.15, the first day, Friday, the box office was 512 million.

On July 7, the next day, Saturday, the box office was 16 million.

On July 7, the third day, Sunday, the box office was 17 million.

The total box office figures for the first three days were 1873 million!
The media directly promoted 2000 million!
Lin Yicheng still had some dignity left and rejected Mr. Han Sanye's proposal to raise 3000 million yuan for the promotion.

Nowadays, most of the box office figures publicized by the media cannot be trusted. It is considered conscientious to round up the figures to an even number.

Generally it is doubled, which is also very common.

Some are even more shameless, simply adding a zero after the real box office figures for publicity purposes.

On Monday, July 7, the box office increased instead of falling, reaching 18 million.

In the next few days, the box office increased by about 7 every day. As of today, July 25, "Crazy Stone" has been released for 10 days, and the cumulative box office has exceeded 7000 million!

The outside media and industry insiders were all speechless. This number is really shocking!

There will be a new entrant into the Chinese film industry’s billion-dollar box office club!

Lin Yicheng will become the fourth billion-dollar box office director after Zhang Yimou, Feng Kuzi and Zhou Xingchi!

What’s more, he’s not even 21 years old!

……

With the popularity of "Crazy Stone", classic lines from various dramas have become popular terms on the Internet.

If you don't say a few words like "Quality! Pay attention to your quality!" or "High-tech, driverless!" when you go out, you won't be able to chat with others.

In forums, QQ groups, etc., General Zhao Feiyu led his army to attack everywhere, igniting the flames of war. In particular, one post was the most popular -

"'Crazy Stone' is a movie that only smart people can understand!"

Who, except a fool, would think himself unintelligent?

Some people chose to watch it a second time because they didn't understand some parts the first time.

Some people went to the movies together because they were arguing about who would end up with the real jade, and they argued as they watched the movie.

Then these people call their friends and go to the cinema, trying their best to prove that they are smart.

This post was naturally written by Director Lin. In his previous life, Nolan had made a lot of fun out of a spinning top.

Jade is much more expensive than a spinning top, so why can’t you have a good time with it?
That evening, CCTV's "News Broadcast" broadcast a news story.

"Recently, Crazy Stone, directed by our young director Lin Yicheng, has sparked a wave of movie-watching..."

The camera shows audiences queuing in several cinemas.

Then the reporter randomly interviewed them and asked them if they were happy today. No, they asked about their feelings about watching the movie.

Then the host said: "The movie "Crazy Stone" expressed... promoted... and brought the audience a happy summer."

Although it is only more than 30 seconds, this is the "News Broadcast"!
This means that hundreds of millions of people across the country have seen this news and heard of Lin Yicheng's name and the movie "Crazy Stone"!
Awesome plus!

The final effect is also great!
Starting from the next day, many middle-aged and elderly people who had not been to the cinema for several years bought tickets for "Crazy Stone" with their children.

Then, a miracle happened. In the next few days, the box office of "Crazy Stone" remained stable at around 600 million every day.

Since Lin Yicheng had done thorough preparation, the people from the company and his fans, in order to get a big reward, kept a close eye on every movie theater to see if there were any people taking secret photos.

People from China Film Group and Qingdao Film Group kept an eye on every copy to prevent people inside the cinema from colluding with pirates.

Although pirated copies were still circulating on the Internet and in the market, they were all uncensored copies with insufficient clarity and had little impact on the movie’s box office.

……

When Lin Yicheng led the crew to a roadshow in his hometown of Chang'an, the movie's box office officially exceeded 100 million!
At this time, "Crazy Stone" had only been released for 15 days!
Upon hearing the news, neither Lin Yicheng nor anyone else reacted much.

First, it was expected and I was mentally prepared. Second, I was really tired and numb.

We traveled to more than a dozen cities in 15 days, visiting several cinemas in each city, and we managed to survive every day thanks to the stimulation of box office revenue.

At the beginning of August, I finally returned to the capital.

After saying goodbye to others, Lin Yicheng headed to China Film Group.

There was something he wanted to discuss with Mr. Han Sanye.

As soon as he saw Lin Yicheng, Han Sanping's face seemed to be full of flowers as if spring had come.

"Xiao Lin is here, come and sit down. You must be very tired recently. Come, try this Da Hong Pao, which was given to me by an old friend. You usually don't want to drink it." Uncle Han greeted him and made tea.

Lin Yicheng thought to himself, in fact, I still like the rebellious look you had back then. Oh, it’s okay if you weren’t so rebellious back then.

"Thank you, Mr. Han. I'm still young and not afraid of hard work. As long as it helps the box office and lives up to China Film's investment, it won't be a problem for me to run another round." Lin Yicheng said with a smile. I can also say nice things!
"In a few days, I'm going to hold a celebration banquet, and you, the great hero, must come then."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure to go. Mr. Han, I came here today because of the box office. I want to increase it a little bit."
