Chapter 69 The stone is finished

By the end of March, the stones will be finished.

Among them, the filming of the movie was very smooth. According to Ning Hao's prediction, the post-production could be completed by mid-April at most. With half a month of promotion, Wang Meng decided to release it during the May Day holiday.

The last life of Stone was released on June 30, 2006, but this time it was nearly two months ahead of schedule.

In early May 2006, no big movie was released.

Besides, it is not the summer season or the New Year season.

In such a period, if stones can trigger a movie viewing craze, they will definitely be able to stand out.

Some time ago, Wang Meng contacted Yu Dong and Han Sanye some time ago, and the theater company that DreamWorks contacted itself, as long as it works, it will definitely surpass the achievements of the previous life.

"Crazy Stone" in my previous life has no publicity at all, and it is almost entirely produced by word of mouth.

Moreover, piracy was rampant in previous lives, and when stones were popular, piracy had already flown all over the sky.

This time it's different.

With publicity and expanding the number of screens, it is easy to have a box office of more than 23 million in previous lives. Wang Meng's estimate is more than 50 million.

As for the sharing, it is no longer like "This Man from Earth" when it was the same, the sharing this time is at least 35%. This time, DreamWorks participated in the entire process, promoted, copied and other series of late stages. It is no longer the last big purchase, and it is all distributed to Yu Dong and Han Sanping.

The cost of shooting is nearly 3 million, and Wang Meng expects that it will cost more than 2 million yuan to add promotions, etc. The total cost of this movie will reach an estimated 5 million yuan. In other words, the box office will be at least 16 million yuan to recover the cost.

Of course! It does not count the profits of peripheral audio and video.

On March 28, on the Shancheng Overpass.

This is the end of the movie. After Huang Bo's role as Hei Pi was trapped in the sewer for three days, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.

Now, Hei Pi finally realized his dream, just smash it open and rob it and run away.

With ready...

Ning Hao shouted: "The last first game of "Crazy Stone", Aikesh!"

Huang Bo ran faster, and the fat bakery owner rode a little antelope and held a rolling pin, cursing: "Run, run, run, you're sixty..."

Huang Bo looked depressed and pitiful, and just came out of the sewer, he was covered in dust, and his mouth kept crying, "Ah...um...".

Ning Hao and Wang Meng in the photography car nodded secretly at the scene in the monitor. This one was very good.

"Click! It's over! Keep it going and make up for another one."

After hearing this, everyone continued to arrange it.

Some important shots of the movie are not enough for one shot, and many of them need to be added and reserved for later use.

This one is very important, so Ning Hao decided to continue to add one.

After waiting for Huang Bo to rest for a while, the shooting continued. It took more than half an hour to finish the last shooting.

and……

Ning Hao was a little nervous!

Everyone understands this, just like Wang Meng did back then.

"I announce that "Crazy Stone" has been completed. Thank you everyone, thank you for your support, thank you..."

"Ho huh..."

For a moment, all the crew members were very happy from the bottom of their hearts.

This is the first time Ning Haofei made a movie, but it is the first time that he has such a big production. The first time that he has so many people pay attention to it. The first time that he has to use the box office to decide everything.

"Lao Ning, I've finished the filming, so I won't call you Director Ning. I've been miserable for more than a month, and I don't have a good image. You must treat you today."

Huang Bo came over panting and complained to Ning Hao.

Ning Hao raised his hand to express his gratitude and said, "The producer is here. Ask him and I will treat him if he gives me money."

Ning Hao pushed Wang Meng out.

"There are also some of this, but everyone has it tonight, five-star, so don't worry about this." Wang Meng said.

"Okay! Director Wang is generous enough..."

“Absolutely support!”

Several leading actors heard Wang Meng's answer and expressed strong support. Everyone has been getting along well for more than a month.

In addition, except for some actors and crew members, they are all employees of DreamWorks, so of course the boss has to go to treat him.

The final work lasted until 2 pm, and then there was no job, just waiting for the final banquet to be completed in the evening.

As for the reporter's interview at the shutdown ceremony, Wang Meng did not hold it.

Time does not allow it, so it is better to hold a premiere after the movie is completed later.

At that time, we could meet with real swords and guns.

Now, no matter how much publicity is, it is still superficial.

At night, in the five-star hotel in Shancheng, there were 8 crew members at a table, 6 tables, and nearly 50 crew members.

Such a crew is also considered a medium-sized one.

Almost all the crew members participated, which was decided by Wang Meng. After all, all the money was spent, so you must not leave a reputation for being stingy.

Such a reputation may not work for individuals, but it is not good for a company.

At the banquet.

Wang Meng handed over the speech at the beginning to Ning Hao.

After all, Ning Hao is the director.

Wang Meng said: "Let's ask Director Ning to tell us a few words first?"

"good!"

"Director Ning said."

Ning Hao did not refuse to stand up and said:

"First of all, thank you for your support. Without more than a month of strong cooperation, there would be no such movie. I am not very good at speaking, so I will respect you first."

As he said that, Ning Hao drank it in one sip.

"Okay! Director Ning is so happy."

“…”

Everyone also knew that Ning Hao was a person, except during his directorship, he was almost a dull man.

Ning Hao said again: "Secondly, I want to thank Director Wang. You may know that after watching the interview with Director Wang in [Chinese Movie], I went to the Demon City to find Director Wang when I was so angry. To be honest, I felt that this kind of courage came from back then, and now I feel incredible. Maybe it is sometimes, some words, accidentally touch your heart..."

He also said: "I was really desperate at that time, and everyone didn't like me. Everyone thought that Ning Hao would make some art films, and everything else was just a joke. I was really about to give up!... It was that moment. Director Wang's words [Director, please learn not to compromise], I had a deep understanding. So, I discussed with Lao Huang and Lao Guo, let's go find Director Wang..."

Ning Hao was a little moved for a moment and then said, "As soon as you know, Director Wang didn't make a request to me, and I didn't even have a guarantee at that time. Director Wang trusted me like this. He looked down on me, Ning Hao, and I didn't say anything. I respect Director Wang for a cup."

Ning Hao was under a lot of pressure. Now that the shooting has been completed, he finally got out of control. Wang Meng felt embarrassed when he talked about it. This was almost the feeling of a soldier dying for his confidant.

For a moment, Wang Meng stared at Ning Hao and drank it again.

Zhang Lantian is definitely a talented person, and he was a little confused when he saw Wang Meng.

He quickly said, "Director Ning, you were wrong!? We are a family now. You see, Director Wang is not happy. You are a hero and cherish the hero. What happened just now is to blame Director Wang for complaining!"

After Wang Meng woke up, he secretly called out "Gao".

Although I have been a human being for two lifetimes and have a human mind, my feelings and experience are not smooth enough after all, so it is still an old fox like Zhang Lantian who can do it.

Wang Meng continued, "Brother Ning, you are not right! Just as Manager Zhang said, we are a family. If you were wrong just now, you would have to be fined a cup."

Ning Hao smiled and said, "Yes, right! My fault, I accept the punishment! Today, I didn't think about going back."

After saying that, everyone laughed. Ning Hao drank another cup. Ning Hao was a little dizzy after drinking three cups. Wang Meng took over the conversation.

Continue to toast on behalf of Ning Hao.

Although Wang Meng has a high status, it is best not to put on airs in such occasions, so that everyone can recognize themselves and recognize their own company is the most important thing.

Afterwards!

Several starring actors started to toast. Ning Hao was finished anyway, so he really lay out.

The most interesting thing is that Chen Chichi and Huang Bo are both fussy people. In addition, Chen Chichi really admires Huang Bo, so they meet and keep drinking, resulting in two more people being carried away.

Wang Meng barely persevered until the end.
Chapter completed!
