Huayu 02: The Days of Extreme Pulling and Rolling with the Fairy

Ning Hao was incredibly busy. He had just finished renovating the mini-supermarket for the hamster when he went out to do an interview.

They were constantly on the go, working like crazy.

She has lost a lot of weight.

It's also a final push for box office success.

Variety shows and all sorts of programs—they use whatever tricks they can—and Hei Pi and Xiao Jun have to be there every time.

.........

No one expected that Huang Bo's face would become a synonym for comedy across the country in a short period of time.

He can make people laugh with just a few words on various variety shows and roadshows.

To put it bluntly, Ning Hao's film made a whole group of actors famous.

········

  

········

Industry media outlets have always been opportunistic and follow the crowd.

Many people were skeptical of this film before its release, given that it lacked any heavyweight actors.

Some newspapers even used the phrase "a makeshift troupe putting on a grand show," and some jokingly said that Xie Jin was throwing money down the drain.

This made the entire Stone team feel a lot of pressure.

From the premiere to this point, things have changed incredibly quickly.

If we were to describe Ning Hao one word at a time, we would say: business prodigy, cinematic genius, a leading figure of the new generation, and the V8 engine of Vision Magic.

This has driven Lao Ning a bit crazy. Xing Na scolds him every day, telling him not to get arrogant and to stay home and calm down except for roadshows and promotions.

When Jiangsu TV and Zhejiang TV reached a secret deal with Gu Renlong.

I originally thought it was to promote "Crazy Stone" by Vision Magic.

The movie was so popular that it was hard to invite Huang Bo and his circle of friends.

But Gu Renlong had already forced them to come over.

Both TV stations truly felt that dealing with Vision Magic brought them good luck!

In an interview, Ning Hao talked about how he had some money a year ago and was torn between making a living and pursuing his dreams.

When asked how his junior brother supported him.

When talking about this, she got emotional on the show and shed tears several times.

·······

Compared to Ning Hao's excitement, many companies and media outlets in the industry had a different feeling.

Many companies felt a chill, a bone-chilling cold.

Vision Light & Magic has only been around for a year.

In its early days, the company relied entirely on the box office revenue from "When a Man Falls in Love," music income, and the hard-working Xie Jin's frequent business trips to make ends meet.

It only provides blood transfusions but does not promote blood production.

In just one year, the company has become a two-director, dual-engine powerhouse, producing both movies and TV series.

In particular, they also have a small but well-equipped production base, and colleagues can directly use Bona's production base.

This approach is something many companies find difficult to adapt to, meaning that this company has no downtime and can basically guarantee at least two works a year.

Today, Liu Xiaoli brought her daughter to Vision Magic early in the morning.

We were supposed to meet up with Xie Jin at the Big Beard film crew, but my daughter insisted on going there with Xie Jin early this morning.

The makeup artist who claims to be piggybacking on the fame of Vision Magic.

Liu's mother was speechless; even the excuse of a leaky cotton-padded jacket seemed a bit ridiculous.

To be honest, Liu Xiaoli had sensed long ago that her daughter's relationship with Xie Jin was a bit unusual.

It's obviously not normal for the big hamster to keep giving Xiao Xie nicknames at home.

........

However, Liu Xiaoli was extremely wary of this.

However, in practice, they haven't really stopped the two from contacting each other.

After all, stopping this kind of thing will only lead to bigger problems.

Mainly, she felt that Xiao Xie was a very sensible and well-behaved child.

Moreover, Xiao Xie never hid his feelings for my daughter from me; it was more like he was accepting my scrutiny as a mother.

Being open and honest, while maintaining a polite distance, makes the relationship more acceptable to oneself.

Judging from the child's demeanor, the mother-in-law was quite satisfied...

If I had a child, it would most likely turn out like this.

The big hamster bought a lot of cushions, comics, and game consoles for her rest room. While watching her mom go to get a beauty treatment, she immediately ran into her own little house.

She snuggled up in the pile of cushions, started reading comics, and ate delicious food.

Actually, Liu's mother might have overthought things and complicated matters.

Her daughter keeps coming here, probably just to enjoy the carefree life of a couch potato.

The big hamster looked at the City Hunter, scratched its little toes, and casually picked up a potato chip: "Hey, dog, why aren't you talking to me?"

Xie Jin was working; he had too much to do lately and needed to sort things out: "Working, incredibly busy."

"Gu Renlong took a few junior agents with him, it makes me so angry! I have to make him take a few more junior agents with him."

The big hamster curled its lip: "Hmph, evil capitalists, treating people like donkeys."

"Me, a capitalist?"

Xie Jin took the materials and calculated the accounts.

"Hard to Please"

浙J卫视42万一集的价格1680万採购，江S卫视二轮22万单集880万採购，次轮是四家地方台1000万联合採购。

Invest 2000 million in a TV series.

The purchase amount is currently over 3000 million, and the TV series has already started to generate a net profit even before it has aired.

Later, other channels would rebroadcast it, and it would continue to be played repeatedly.

In the short term, the actual revenue from the TV series is less than two thousand yuan. Once that money is in hand, half of it will have to be invested in "Soldiers Sortie".

The revenue from ringback tones has decreased significantly, so I need to take some time to record more; in reality, this is just to offset the company's operating costs.

Song Ke started working independently a while ago and has been contacting me.

Originally, Song Ke was supposed to finalize the establishment of Taihe Wheat Field with Taihe, but judging from his expression...

It seems his talks with Taihe have fallen through, and he's very interested in me now; the two of us will meet again in a few days.

I've been lazy lately; I tend to slack off when there's no pressure.

Xie Jin continued to look at the data. Since its release in early April, nearly four weeks have passed, and "Stone" has already grossed over 6000 million yuan.

To be honest, the timing was fantastic!

The competing films at the same time weren't particularly strong.

Despite starring Affleck, John Woo's "Paycheck" failed to resonate with the Chinese audience, grossing only 870 million in its opening week and still hasn't broken the 2400 million mark.

I don't know if the promotion in mainland China for Nicholas Tse and Chan G-hei's "Police Cadet '84" was insufficient. It barely broke 1 million in its first week, and now after four weeks it still hasn't broken 3 million (it only sold 3 million in mainland China in total, I'm also confused when I see the data).

With Samuel L. Jackson in the cast, "SWAT" grossed $1300 million in its opening week, significantly better than "The Payback," and at least surpassed $3400 million in three weeks.

Of all the imported blockbusters, only "Cold Mountain" is truly impressive.

Jude Law and Nicole Kidman's good looks are still very appealing. The film grossed nearly 1500 million in its first week and reached 4700 million in three weeks.

As for films like "Close Your Eyes Before It Gets Dark," "Brothers," and "The Silly Kid," they didn't even break 1000 million in total.

···········

It's hard to imagine that "Crazy Stone," with no A-list stars and no top-notch special effects, has led the pack like a bulldozer.

Moreover, there were even cases of people watching it two or three times. Many viewers recommended it to their friends and were willing to watch it again.

Many of the lines spoken by Huang Bo's trio have now become common phrases among young people.

········

However, this also means Xie Jin's schedule wasn't set for May. May is truly a battleground for top films, with "The Day After Tomorrow" causing a massive frenzy, and then there's "Spider-Man 2" at the end of May...
