The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 511: The winner of the National Day
It was already 6 o'clock in the afternoon when Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen finished watching two movies.

Instead of continuing to watch "Crazy Stone", the two went out to have dinner together and then went home.

The next morning, when Luo Ming got up, he saw Lin Shuwen leaning against the head of the bed and browsing Weibo.

"woke up?"

"Ah."

"Ah Ming, guess what the box office of Crazy Stone was yesterday?"

"It must be at least 3 million!" Luo Ming thought about it and gave a relatively conservative answer.

"Your guess was pretty accurate. The first-day box office of Crazy Stone was 3.37 million."

"What about the other two?" Luo Ming asked.

"Parasite made 4.16 million, and On the Road to Marriage seemed to have flopped, with only 1.51 million."

"Why is the box office of 'On the Road to Marriage' so low?"

"I was also surprised. Logically, it shouldn't be this low, but their data is very bad and the attendance is not very good. The online reviews are good, and the ratings on major websites are all above 7 points, but the box office is not going up."

"That means it's a hit but not a box office success!"

"more or less!"

"It seems that our only opponent is Parasite."

Lin Shuwen didn't know what to say for a moment when she heard this.

To be honest, "Parasite" is the only movie she has starred in and probably the only one in which she played an important role.

"Crazy Stone" is a film produced and released by Zhaoguang Entertainment.

Lin Shuwen doesn't know which movie to support.

It was still afternoon, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen went to see "Crazy Stone" together.

This movie tells the story of a real estate developer who wants to buy a factory that is about to go bankrupt and build a building.

The workers in the factory are all waiting for the factory to start operating so that they can get paid and support their families, so naturally they don't want the factory to be sold.

In that era when real estate was favored by capital, such small businesses had no chance of success.

The factory, which had a broken capital chain, was doomed to fail. However, a priceless jadeite was unearthed during the factory construction, which brought a glimmer of hope.
After watching this movie, Lin Shuwen suddenly understood why Luo Ming was so confident about it and felt that it could win the best box office of the year.

This movie is indeed unique, especially the flashback and interpolation editing techniques. When the last few lines are strung together, it gives people a very amazing feeling.

Lin Shuwen took out her cell phone to check out the online reviews of "Crazy Stone", but she saw Yao Lizhu's film review before she had even turned a few pages.

This film review was posted at around 11 o'clock last night. It should have been written overnight by Yao Lizhu after watching "Crazy Stone" last night.

If Yao Lizhu appreciated On the Way to Marriage, then she unabashedly loved Crazy Stone: "This year's National Day movie season really gave me too many surprises, including Director Zhu's Parasite and Director Li's On the Way to Marriage, but my favorite movie was Crazy Stone directed by new director Liang Hanwen.

This movie really gave me a big surprise. There are no big stars in this movie, and the leading actors are not well-known. Probably all the main actors combined do not have as many fans as a first-line star, and the director is a fledgling newcomer.

But after watching it, I feel that there are at least three or four actors in this movie who have great acting skills and they will probably have good careers in the future, especially director Liang Hanwen.

Is the Shanghai International Micro Film Festival champion an award of great value? Yes, but not much. At least before today, I didn’t take this award seriously.

But after watching Director Liang’s “Crazy Stone”, the value of this award in my heart skyrocketed.

The interlocking plot and dense laughs make it a model of comedy.

Although there are some places where you can see that the director's control over the camera is a bit awkward, even so, this movie is still the best mainland commercial film so far this year.

Some people may think that I am exaggerating, but I can say responsibly that there has not been a commercial film better than this one during the Spring Festival and summer vacations that have passed this year. I personally think this is the best Chinese-language commercial film this year.

Why do I specifically mention the Best Chinese Commercial Film? Because Hollywood also released a very good commercial blockbuster, and the two are equally good in my opinion.

As for "Parasite", I personally feel that it is not a commercial film, but a film made by Director Zhu to win awards.

The high box office now is probably because the movie won the Best Film at the Venice International Film Festival. Its box office in the future is unlikely to be able to surpass that of "Crazy Stone".

Back to "Crazy Stone", it's hard for me to imagine that this movie was shot by a new director.

The story starts with Xie Xiaomeng and then continues in flashback, telling the stories on four timelines and clearly explaining the connections between them.

The advantage of using this method is that it constantly creates suspense. After telling a story, it does not directly explain the consequences, which makes the audience feel confused and attracts them from the beginning.

Then the audience doesn’t fully understand what’s going on until the series of stories is finished.

In addition, this movie is a rather absurd comedy, the biggest feature of which is the almost magical coincidences, which connect the development of different events through coincidences. If this method is not used, it would be difficult to explain the plot clearly.

The clever thing about this technique is that the relationships between all the characters are made clear at the very beginning of the film. Almost all the important characters in the film appear in the opening, paving the way for the subsequent development of the film.

In my opinion, this comedy can maintain its third place and fight for the second place in the mainland comedy commercial films. Finally, I am very happy that the film industry has welcomed a good director who is capable, passionate and can tell a good story. I look forward to Director Liang bringing us more works in the future. "

After reading Yao Lizhu's review, Lin Shuwen patted Luo Ming on the shoulder and said, "A Ming, Teacher Yao's evaluation of Crazy Stone is really too high. You should take a look!"

Luo Ming took the phone, quickly browsed it, and then smiled.

What Yao Lizhu wrote was what Luo Ming was thinking. He also felt that the box office of "Parasite" would not be so strong in the future, and it was likely that "Crazy Stone" would still be the box office champion.

That's exactly what happened.

On the morning of October 10, when Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen looked at the box office data again, "Crazy Stone" had surpassed "Parasite".

On October 10, the second day box office of "Crazy Stone" was 2 million, while "Parasite" had dropped to 4.32 million.

As for the fact that the box office of "On the Road to Marriage" on the second day did not even reach 1 million, the main creative team became anxious and began to frantically call on audiences online to watch their movie.

At this point, the box office battle for the National Day holiday has actually come to an end.

At this time, he and Lin Shuwen had already boarded a private plane to Hulunbuir.

After arriving in Hohhot, Li Yan arranged a C-type RV in advance.

Originally, Lin Shuwen didn't want to walk so far and thought of just camping nearby.

But Luo Ming wanted to take this opportunity to visit Hulunbuir grassland.

Compared to the sea, Luo Ming was more looking forward to seeing the grassland, because he had learned from books when he was a child that the sky was vast and the wilderness was boundless, and cattle and sheep could be seen when the wind blew the grass low.

Faced with steel and concrete, city noise, congestion and pollution every day.

Luo Ming suddenly wanted to go to Hulunbuir grassland to purify his soul.

When Lin Shuwen heard that Luo Ming wanted to go, she did not refuse but agreed directly. She thought that the grassland was so big and she probably wouldn't meet many people.

So Luo Ming contacted Li Yan last night and asked her to prepare an RV in Hohhot.

As for the advance reservation of the private jet, Luo Ming contacted the Shanghai government and asked them to help arrange it, so that he could fly here directly today.

After the plane landed, Luo Ming and others came to the parking lot.

After getting the car keys, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen got into the RV, while the eight bodyguards who were accompanying them got into other cars.

There is still some distance from the city to the scenic spot, so Luo Ming started the car and drove there directly.

"Amin, where is our first stop?"

"Let's go to the Morigele River first!" Luo Ming said.

"Morigele River? Is it the "most winding river in the world" described by Lao She?"

“Yes, I know you don’t want to be crowded. You will probably only meet other tourists at the Mozhgrad River Observation Deck during the entire trip to this attraction.

Afterwards, you can stroll along the river for about 10 km, get close to the grassland, and experience "the wind blows the grass low and you can see cattle and sheep", and you may even see the spectacular scene of thousands of horses galloping. "

"I didn't realize you had made a plan in advance!"

"Of course you have to make a plan before going out to play." Luo Ming said with a smile.

"Then let's go!"

Luo Ming nodded and started the car.

As the car slowly drove away from the city, there were fewer and fewer man-made buildings around, but there were still quite a lot of cars, after all, it was National Day!

Luo Ming followed the navigation all the way to the Morigele River. As he walked, Lin Shuwen felt that the world outside was getting greener and greener, and the sky and earth seemed to be getting wider and wider.

After driving for about an hour, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen both saw the observation deck of the Morigele River.

This is indeed the most crowded place, and many people choose to stop on the observation deck to take pictures.

Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen did not stop. They continued to drive forward for about 4 or 5 kilometers. At this time, there was no one else on the road except them.

There were still vehicles passing by, but few people stopped to take pictures in this area.

Luo Ming immediately stopped the car, and the two got out together. The bodyguards were very tactful and guarded the two bosses 100 meters away.

When they came out, the leader told them not to follow the two bosses blindly and to be careful about the limits.

When Lin Shuwen got off the car, the first thing that caught her eye was the endless sea of ​​green - the vast grassland.

The lush green grass sways gently in the breeze, like green waves rippling away. The grassland is dotted with various wild flowers, colorful, adding endless vitality to the earth.
