Actor: Thank you.

A few days later.

Imperial capital, Capital Cinema.

This cinema was built in 1937 with funds raised by Peking Opera master Ma Lianliang.

In 50, one year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the then Prime Minister proposed to change the name to Capital Cinema.

Even the plaque at the door was written by Mr. Guo Moruo himself.

This place is actually a bit old, but it is of great significance to Chinese films.

This place will be rebuilt next year and will once again use the world's latest equipment to create the country's most advanced cinema.

The premiere of "Crazy Stone" was held here.

Friday, 8pm.

This date was chosen because the next day is the weekend.

The weekends are the busiest days for cinema business.

The first weekend box office is also one of the important reference criteria for whether a movie can be successful.

There is only one show today. Tomorrow, starting at 8 a.m., it will be screened all over the country.

The advantage of having China Film Corporation participate in the investment lies here, and the theater chain gives face.

At least they give face in the early stage. If the box office is not good after a few days, then China Film has given enough face. People will naturally reduce the screening schedule, and China Film will have nothing to say.

Today, quite a lot of people came.

Hua Ge, Huang Bo, Fan Bingbing, Ning Hao, Liu Hua, Guo Tao, basically all the main actors were invited.

Zhang Yuan also brought in Feng Xiaogang, who had just finished post-production on "The Banquet" and was waiting for the film to be released.

Because of the relationship with "Night Banquet", Tan Dun and Huang Xiaoming were also brought in.

Forget about Zhou Xun.

This guy who smokes, drinks, and has his hair permed couldn't say anything in the interview.

As for the international chapter...this guy has a lot of business connections.

Unfortunately, her agent is her brother.

This person's taste is not much better than Yangzi's. It is no exaggeration to say that they have similar tastes.

All of Zhang Ziyi's LOW-brow commercials and advertisements were designed by her brother.

Amateurs are always looking at money and have no strategic vision at all.

Anyway, Zhang Yuan has already looked for International Zhang, but since she doesn’t have time to come, that’s fine.

Besides, this group of people has had enough.

In addition to directors and artists, many media were also invited.

Anyway, Zhang Yuan did everything he could from casting, shooting to post-production.

Especially during the promotion stage, in addition to "Happy Camp", he also appeared on variety shows on several local TV stations.

The roadshow was held in all major cities.

Do your best, listen to destiny.

The premiere was held in a 250-seat hall.

Naturally the place was packed.

The audiences who come here are fans of the artists, all of whom are selected from QQ groups, online forums, and offline fan meetings.

Unlike others, Zhang Yuan did not choose to sit in the prime seat, but came to the last row.

On this point, Ning Hao agrees with him.

"You're here too?"

"See everyone's reaction." Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.

Ning Hao nodded and sat next to him.

I thought my brother was too responsible and kept watching the film closely.

The theater gradually darkened and the screen gradually lit up.

"The city is the mother, and we live in her womb..."

As soon as the film started, Dao Ge’s girlfriend, played by Fan Bingbing, appeared in front of the audience.

The actors all speak in their own accents, giving off a down-to-earth vibe.

Except for Hong Kong and Formosa, which used Mandarin dubbing, the rest of the voices are all original voices of the actors.

As soon as Fan Bingbing appeared, she caused screams from many of her die-hard fans.

"It turned out to be the right decision to ask her to come..." Zhang Yuan sighed silently.

Afterwards, Wang Xun, Liu Hua and Huang Bo appeared one by one.

It’s just that these people are not very famous and don’t have the blessing of traffic, so the audience response is average.

But the interesting plot content and humorous lines still made the audience laugh.

Zhang Yuan was neither surprised nor disappointed that the audience chuckled instead of laughing.

After all, "Crazy Stone" is positioned as black humor and light suspense, not the kind of nonsensical comedy like Stephen Chow's.

Humor serves the rhythm of the plot and the audience's perception.

Soon, the film played the part where the international thief Mike, also known as Zhang Yuan, appeared.

"Wow!"

"Oh!"

Just like when Fan Bingbing appeared before, many of Zhang Yuan’s fans also cheered and screamed.

And faintly, it seemed to be even more passionate than Fan Bingbing's.

In the middle of the eleventh row, Huang Xiaoming, a guest who was sitting in the best viewing seat, twitched his mouth.

"He's so popular..."

I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness rising in my heart.

He was about to join the crew to film "New Shanghai Bund" and he was quite happy about it.

But when I thought about the fact that Zhang Yuan was about to join the crew of Zhang Yimou's "Curse of the Golden Flower", I suddenly felt that none of my dramas were worth watching.

He also thought of his hope to join Huayi and become the top dog.

But with such a huge obstacle in front of me, how can I fight for it...

"He is so popular." At the same time, another person also made the same sigh as Huang Xiaoming in his heart.

Fan Bingbing turned her head slightly and looked towards the back row with her beautiful eyes.

After smiling sweetly, she turned around and continued watching the movie.

As the story progresses, with a stone as the core, the four groups of people continue to entangle and move forward.

Guo Tao protecting the stone.

Mike came to steal the stone.

A trio of gangsters.

Plus the factory director’s big son.

A group of people, each using unique tricks and showing their special abilities, staged an absurd drama with twists and turns, but all their efforts were in vain and the gain was made without any effort.

Investor Liu Dehua watched and laughed.

He had seen the rough cut of the film, but this was the first time he watched the official version.

Brother Hua is very satisfied!

Everyone in the industry knows that this person is still determined to invest in movies.

He started his own production company in his early years.

But the problem is that Brother Hua is good at acting and singing, but his talent attribute points for investment are negative.

When he makes a movie, he pays attention to an all-star cast.

Anyway, with his connections, he would certainly be very popular in the Hong Kong film and television circles, and then... nothing happened.

The most important script and post-production of the film are a mess.

Poet Chen also has this problem, especially in "Wuji".

As a result, the movie "God of War" made Brother Hua lose more than 3000 million!

This person really "worked to pay off debts" and spent three years filming movies like crazy to make up for the losses.

Now I’m watching this movie “Crazy Stone” which I invested in myself.

Are there any celebrities?

Of course, Zhang Yuan went there personally and also brought Fan Bingbing along.

The story isn't bad either.

Not only is it good, it’s also the biggest selling point of this film!
Brother Hua could tell at a glance that this movie was exactly the opposite of the things he had failed to invest in back then!

While he was watching, he was also secretly feeling the audience's reaction.

The audience exclaimed when the plot twist occurred.

He let out a slight cry as he turned around again.

The sound of cursing when the situation turns around again and again.

Again and again...the audience remained silent because they were already immersed in the story.

"what!"

"Woo, woo..."

An hour and a half later, Huang Bo on the big screen was covered in black mud, running wildly on the overpass with half a piece of bread in his mouth.

Behind him was a fat man riding an electric bike and wearing a chef's uniform, chasing him madly.

"what!!!"

The scene froze as a scream of pain echoed throughout the theater.

The screen turned black and white, and a list of cast and crew members slowly appeared.

The lights in the theater also became brighter.

Zhang Yuan's thoughts were lost in memories.

While watching the movie, he recalled many details of the filming.

It is a wonderful feeling to be in the middle of it while observing it from a God's perspective.

Until the audience's applause pulled him out of the rushing river of memories.

"Clap clap clap..."

[Received thanks from Zhang Dadi, memory +1! ]

[Received thanks from Wang Xinmei, digestion ability +1! ]

[Received thanks from Jiang Kaiwei, housework ability +1! ]

……

Seeing that he had gained a lot of attributes, Zhang Yuan felt that each of these audience members was a talent.

It also shows that everyone’s viewing experience is pretty good.

Now he joined the entire cast on stage to be interviewed and asked questions.

They also interacted with the audience and held raffles and gave away gifts.

Guests such as Feng Xiaogang and Huang Xiaoming would also stand up and greet and praise the host after being called by their names.

What Huang Xiaoming said was rather vague.

“This film is quite interesting.”

"Very funny, I like it very much..."

Zhang Yuan suspected that he didn't understand it at all.

Director Feng is a well-known director after all, so his praise was more specific.

“The plot design is very clever.”

“Especially the content of the gangs arguing back and forth is very exciting.”

"I want to ask Director Ning Hao about the plot design."

“I want to learn from you!”

Look how good they are at talking...

However, although he said so, his actions may not be consistent with his words.

In his eyes, the story is interesting, but the production is too crude! This is called forgetting one's roots!

After I started working on big productions like "The Banquet", I forgot that I made my fortune with low-budget films.

He felt that this was already the era of special effects blockbusters, and it would be a great achievement if this movie could earn 10 or 20 million at the box office.

“This film contains the sincerity of all our creators.”

“The cost was limited, and the filming process was actually quite hard.”

"But everyone showed their best side in front of the camera." Ning Hao said after taking the microphone.

“I would like to thank two people in particular.”

"That's Brother Hua and Zhang Yuan!"

"It is their help that gave me the opportunity to bring this story, which I have been preparing for many years, to the screen."

Ning Hao's words were indeed sincere.

After saying this, he not only stepped forward to hug the two of them, but also the hydrocephalus began to flow out of his eye sockets.

After that, he took photos with the audience one by one and was also interviewed by several print and online media.

At about half past ten, the premiere officially ended.

"Let's go to my house for dinner!"

Zhang Yuan greeted everyone and prepared a minibus in advance.

"By the way, I was muttering when you mentioned this before." Ning Hao wiped away his tears of excitement and said frankly.

"Your house can accommodate so many people."

He thought Zhang Yuan was going to take people to the small courtyard.

"I've upgraded my musketry!"

Without further ado, he took everyone to a large courtyard house in Fuyuan Hutong, which actually covered an area of ​​1,200 square meters.

"Fuck!"

When they arrived at the place and got off the car, Ning Hao directly swore.

"Your cannon is too big!"

Not to mention Ning Hao who is still quite "poor" now.

Even Feng Xiao, who had already made a fortune, pursed his lips and revealed an envious look after seeing the location and area.

"Come on, I'll show you around."

The basic structure of the large courtyard is in the shape of a Chinese character "日".

Compared with the small courtyard house, not only does it have a backyard, but the houses on the east, west and south sides are all two-story.

Zhang Yuan’s bedroom and study are at the other end of the backyard and are the most private.

In addition to the guest rooms and kitchen, there are living rooms and entertainment and leisure spaces on both sides of the front yard.

The horizontal line in the middle of the Chinese character "日" can form two independent spaces by closing the door, completely separating the private area and the banquet area.

He led everyone around and everyone was amazed by the performance.

Especially Xu Zheng, who knew that Zhang Yuan had just made a lot of money with animation.

The bald man was already envious, and after looking around the houses, his heart sank even more.

Huang Xiaoming didn't say a word the whole time.

Because there is nothing to say.

I thought it was a good deal that I bought a 180-square-meter four-bedroom apartment in the capital.

Compared with others, my house can only be thrown away.

Brother Xiao Ming's income is actually average. He made his fortune mainly through the options he received after joining Huayi and his cooperation with Ren Quan and others.

I haven’t signed a contract with Huayi yet, and I make money from film fees and endorsements.

Brother Hua was smiling all the way and was the calmest person.

Because he also has a house in the imperial capital, a villa in the city, which is only slightly bigger than his place.

He debuted early and his properties are already spread all over the country.

As a musician, Tan Dun said nothing along the way.

He has a moderate interest in both houses and movies.

Until he saw the piano that had just arrived in Zhang Yuan's study.

"Oh!" Teacher Tan Dun's eyes lit up and he took a few steps forward.

"Your piano is pretty good!"

There were only two pianos in this piano store. One was on display and the other was intended to be sent to another piano store for exhibition, but he intercepted it.

Since it was in stock, it was shipped over quickly.

The others looked at each other in the same way.

Even Tan Dun said it’s good, so this piano must not be cheap.

Everyone is wondering, how much money has this guy made in recent years?

"Can I play it?" Tan Dun still has his old habit of itching to play the piano.

"Of course, but let's have a midnight snack first. Everything is ready." Zhang Yuan said.

"We'll be done eating soon, let's drink and play together."

"Row!"

Everyone then went to the restaurant.

Guests come from all corners of the world, and in order to satisfy everyone's tastes, and it's getting late, if we ask the chef team to work, they will definitely be very resentful.

Zhang Yuan asked his assistant to prepare a pot of hot pot for each person. It was not spicy, so as to cater to Brother Hua's Hong Kong taste. He also specially prepared a lot of colorful mushrooms for him.

This person has now become a semi-vegetarian.

He also called Baoqiang and Yao Cheng, two of his subordinates, to have dinner together so that they could get to know each other.

Baoqiang is fine, he is acquaintances of Director Feng and Brother Hua.

Yao Cheng needs to see the world.

Everyone was eating hotpot and singing songs, feeling comfortable and happy.

While eating, Huang Bo glanced at Baoqiang and Yao Cheng.

I saw that the shoes they were wearing cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.

The mobile phone I use is also the latest model.

I wear domestic shoes that cost more than 100 yuan and use an old mobile phone from two years ago.

Although he didn't say anything, he knew it in his heart.

The living conditions of these two people who followed Zhang Yuan were much better than his.

Who doesn’t want to live a better life!

Even though Brother Bo has a mature mentality, he can't help but compare himself with others and feel some regret.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Yuan led everyone to his study as he had just said.

Teacher Tan Dun's song "Song of the Yue People" drew applause from the crowd.

"This piano is much better than the one I played in the hotel last time." After the song ended, Tan Dun couldn't help but praise it: "It's transparent and smooth."

Of course he had seen more expensive pianos.

Top-level concerts use the most expensive pianos from various brands, with prices costing two or three million being common.

But that's the equipment of a concert hall or symphony orchestra.

Zhang Yuan’s case is private, so the concept is different.

"Sing a song too, to see if you have made any progress recently." Tan Dun happily gave up his seat.

"Okay." Zhang Yuan sat down immediately.

"You can also play the piano?" Huang Xiaoming asked in surprise.

Zhang Yuan: …

I can't play the piano, so am I planning on buying one just for decoration?
Fan Bingbing gave Huang Xiaoming a disdainful look and complained in his heart at the same time.

With your intelligence, you still want to be the boss... Zhang Yuan can kill you with just his toes.

Fan Ye turned her head and stared at Zhang Yuan, whose fingers were gently falling on the piano keys like spring rain.

With so many people present, he couldn't play Pleasant Goat anymore, even though he was familiar with the song.

He sang a piece he had just practiced these days, Debussy's "Moonlight".

There just happened to be a ray of moonlight shining into the study from the small courtyard outside the house, which was very appropriate for the scene.

Fan Bingbing just held the red wine glass in one hand, supported his chin with the other, and watched with a smile on his face.

That look in his eyes is not just about drawing, it's about to swing the club!
"He looks so handsome when he plays the piano..."

Eighty percent of women are attracted by music style.

Lang Lang looks like a piano prince if he looks like that. Zhang Yuan looks like this, and if he plays a piece of music again, women will think he is the emperor.

Assistant Zhao Xinxin standing by was holding the wine bottle and also had to act as a waiter.

After all, the salary is more than 10,000 yuan a month, so there must be a lot of work.

She glanced at the look of a young girl in love when Fan Bingbing looked at her boss, squinted her eyes and shook her head.

"Another female demon wants to eat Tang Monk's flesh."

When she first started following Zhang Yuan, she saw her boss “playing games” with a female star and her thoughts were...

"Why does Brother Zhang Yuan always flirt with women..."

And now it is.

"Someone is hooking up with my boss again!"

The position becomes increasingly clear.

Fingers swept across the piano keys and the song ended.

Clap, clap, clap...Fan Bingbing led the applause.

"it is good!"

Zhang Yuan was speechless for a while. Is there anyone who likes the piano music?

You should listen to crosstalk.

Chatted with everyone for a while.

It was almost two o'clock in the middle of the night when the crowd gradually dispersed.

Zhang Yuan saw the guests off to the door one by one.

Fan Bingbing was the last to leave, Zhang Yuan whispered to her.

"I just bought a mattress for over 30,000 yuan. Do you want to try it?"

Last time the bullets were loaded, but this guy had a high fever.

We have just moved into a new house, so shouldn’t we find someone to bless it?
“Hehehe…” Fan Bingbing covered her mouth and laughed.

At the same time, she extended her index finger and stroked it across his chest.

"Sure, but from now on, only the two of us can use the mattress. Can you do that?"

"Uh..." Zhang Yuan didn't have time to reply.

The man kissed him on the ear, then turned and walked away, waving his hand as he walked.

Before, she had been lusting after Zhang Yuan's body.

After all, I have seen his equipment roughly on the set of "Little Fish and Flower".

But ever since that time on the set of "The Warring States", this guy's desire is not just about his body.

But the whole person is greedy.

"How come his personality changed..." Zhang Yuan didn't know about these changes and was confused.

I thought Fat Fan was quite generous, so why did he become reserved when he came around me?

The attitudes of wanting to play and wanting to get ahead are naturally different.

Go back to the house and sleep.

Without a woman's company, such a mattress with such good elasticity is wasted.

Two days later, the first weekend box office of "Crazy Stone" was released... (End of this chapter)
