I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Immediately, people all over the internet were praising Bi Dao.

Even Wu Baige's frequent announcements about casting for "The Crossing" were overshadowed.

Many actors are no longer solely focused on the film "The Crossing," but some are aiming for "Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Industry," hoping to land a role in it.

Even if it's not the main character, a supporting role is acceptable.

At this point, Bi Dao could be said to have reached the pinnacle of his life.

When Cheng Sheng learned that Huayi had invested in Bi Dao's film and signed Bi Dao to Huayi's company, he immediately became somewhat flustered.

Huayi has fallen into this huge pit, and its future listing will likely be delayed.

Cheng Sheng didn't care whether Huayi Brothers survived or not; he was currently looking at the box office report for the first three days of "Crazy Stone."

Three days ago, "Crazy Stone" held its premiere at Kyoto's largest cinema.

Ning Hao, as the best director at Venice, is the most famous among the sixth generation of directors, second only to Cheng Sheng.

On the day of the premiere, almost every celebrity with a bit of fame in the entertainment industry attended.

Of course, a large part of this was directed at Cheng Sheng.

After all, "Crazy Stone" was invested in by Cheng Sheng's company, and Cheng Sheng would also appear at the premiere.

Many celebrities wanted to use this opportunity to establish a connection with Cheng Sheng.

Therefore, the premiere of "Crazy Stone" was a huge success and a very popular event.

The pre-sale box office for the movie "Crazy Stone" was around 3000 million yuan, and the pre-sale box office revenue almost surpassed that of another version of "Crazy Stone".

The reason why "Crazy Stone" has such a hot pre-sale box office is probably due to the bonus of being a Venice award-winning film, and also because Ning Hao is more famous than the original timeline.

There's also the publicity from Cheng Sheng and Shengli Film and Television Company.

Experts predict that "Crazy Stone" will eventually gross over 3 million yuan.

Investing tens of millions and reaping 3 million is a huge profit for Shengli Film and Television Company.

In another timeline, "Crazy Stone" didn't have such a large budget; the film's investment was only about 3 to 5 million yuan, but it grossed over 30 million yuan at the box office, creating a "small investment, big return" effect.

In pursuit of perfection, the investment in this world was increased to tens of millions, and the filming time was extended to about six months.

Compared to the original 40-plus days, this is indeed a much longer period of time.

But the rewards are also huge.

It not only won awards in Venice, but also became a box office hit.

The premiere of "Crazy Stone" was not only star-studded, but also attended by big names in the film industry.

For example, Han Sanye of China Film Group, Xiao Wang of Huayi Brothers Media, Wang Changtian of Enlight Media, Zhang Weiping of New Pictures Media, Yu Dong of Bona Film Group, Cai Yinong of Sugar Man, Lu Zheng of Starlight Media, and Liu Yingming of Hairun Pictures, etc., are all entertainment company executives.

After the premiere ceremony was completed, the film officially began.

The movie "Crazy Stone" revolves around a priceless jade piece, unfolding a series of stories of open and covert struggles. The plot is divided into four parts.

First, jade appeared in the market, and CQ's handicraft factory was on the verge of bankruptcy. The factory manager refused Chairman Feng's low-price acquisition offer.

During the renovation of the toilets, the factory discovered a priceless piece of jade. They decided to hold an exhibition to alleviate the financial pressure, and Bao Shihong, the head of the security department, was put in charge of security.

Secondly, there was the covetousness of many parties. After learning about the jade, Chairman Feng hired international thief Mike to steal it.

Mike's suitcase at the airport was taken by a trio of thieves led by Dao. After discovering that Mike's target was jade, they also made it their target.

To win over Dao Ge's girlfriend, Jing Jing, Xie Xiaomeng, the factory manager's son, replaced a real jade with a fake one. On the way, Hei Pi saw this and the trio of thieves went to catch them in the act. They believed that Xie Xiaomeng had used a fake jade to win a woman's heart, so they replaced the fake jade with a real one.

Thirdly, the transaction took an unexpected turn. After obtaining the jade, Dao Ge contacted Si Yan, one of Chairman Feng's subordinates, to make a deal, but it turned out to be fake after authentication.

When Dao Ge learned that Xie Xiaomeng had been switched, he asked the factory manager to use jade to redeem her. The factory manager ignored him, so Xie Xiaomeng asked Bao Shihong for help. Dao Ge then arranged for the exchange to take place at the entrance of a temple.

During the exchange, Dao Ge, riding a motorcycle, snatched Bao Shihong's bag containing jade, but crashed into a car door that suddenly opened and died.

Bao Shihong took the fake jade and put it back in the exhibition hall, while he kept the real jade.

Finally, the ending was revealed: the factory manager agreed to Chairman Feng's acquisition, and Bao Shihong caused a scene at the press conference.

After the meeting, Chairman Feng murdered Si Yan because of his poor performance. When Mike broke into Chairman Feng's office to pry open the safe, he fought with Chairman Feng and killed him, only to later discover that he had killed his employer.

Bao Shihong went to Boss Feng's company to find Si Yan. He got into a fight with Mike in the elevator. The police arrived and subdued Mike. Bao Shihong became a hero for capturing an international thief. He gave the real jade to his wife.

The film establishes a dark and comedic tone from the very beginning, with humor permeating both the overall visuals and the characters' dialogue.

Bao Shihong is the head of the security department at the factory. He is persistent and kind, and always does his best in his work. Moreover, he is the only person in the entire factory who has attended police academy, so the task of protecting the jade fell to him.

In the film, Bao Shihong is played by Guo Tao, who won the Best Actor award for his role in "The Dead End," and his acting skills are not to be underestimated.

The priceless jade attracted the attention of thief Dao Ge and international thief Mike, who each used their best skills to try and get their hands on the jade.

However, to everyone's surprise, the jade was stolen by Factory Director Xie's son under the pretense of taking photos of the jade for promotional purposes, and he replaced it with a fake.

Sometimes, the truly bad people aren't scary; what's scary are often the petty people hiding among us, who are hard to guard against.

In the film, Huang Bo plays Hei Pi, Dao Ge's henchman. He is a physically strong but simple-minded character who acts impulsively and always carries a hammer.

When Hei Pi and Dao Ge were stealing from someone's house under the guise of moving, they were caught by the traffic police for illegal parking. Hei Pi's first reaction was to hit the traffic police with a hammer. Even when stealing jade, Hei Pi kept trying to smash it open with a hammer and run away, which shows his recklessness.

Dao Ge is a thief, and he is very convincing in both his migrant worker and gangster disguises.

He and his brothers often used a moving company as a cover, but when his wife cheated on him, the audience saw his vulnerable side.

After experiencing a series of hilarious and absurd events, Bao Shihong captures the international thief Mike, which not only makes the newspapers but also earns him recognition. Dao Ge and Hei Pi, on the other hand, escape for their lives. The ending is still satisfying for the audience.

The plot of "Crazy Stone" is tight and the actors' performances are excellent, immersing the audience in a farcical comedy.

The film features a large amount of dialect, which makes it more immersive and brings the characters to life.

It didn't force any preaching or express any profound themes; rather, it was precisely this simple entertainment that allowed the audience to experience unprecedented enjoyment. (End of Chapter)
