Chapter 204

Reviews for the three films released yesterday appeared online and in the newspapers.

"Crazy Stone is a free-spirited film. The black humor expressed by the newcomer director had the entire audience roaring with laughter. Furthermore, the unconstrained plot is an absolute highlight of this film!"

"Aside from its exquisite visuals, the film The Promise is left with nothing but a pile of carefully crafted Shakespearean dialogue. It sounds philosophical while you're listening, but it's dry and hollow. To describe it in one word: stupid. Especially in the latter half of the film, the lines are enough to make one laugh their teeth out! 'You ruined my chance to be a good person?' Which brain-dead screenwriter came up with that line! The film is trash! Not worth watching!"

"As for the review of Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles, I'm very sorry... I can't write it, because the moment I saw it was full of Japanese actors, I stood up and left the screening hall!"

Online, audiences were also discussing these three films.

"Haha, the Crazy Stone my husband recommended is truly hilarious!"

"Strongly recommend going to see Crazy Stone!"

"Screw you, give me my money back! Trash The Promise! Trash director!"

"Old Mouzi has gotten carried away! With so many domestic actors available, he goes and finds a bunch of Japanese actors! Trash!"

Inside Chen Kai's office.

At this moment, Chen Kai was looking at the online reviews, his face filled with anger.

He had poured his heart and soul into this film, so he had high expectations for it, but the audience's reaction right now was completely different from what he had imagined!

"A bunch of bumpkins! They don't understand film!"

Chen Kai cursed under his breath with a dark face.

Just then, his assistant walked in.

"Director Chen, there's an event about to start!"

"Got it."

Chen Kai said with a dark face.

He then stood up, walked out of the office, and went downstairs.

Once downstairs, a group of reporters guarding the entrance swarmed over and began asking about the film The Promise.

Listening to the questions posed by the reporters, Chen Kai said with a dark face: "The Promise is the best film I have ever created. No audience will understand the meaning expressed in this film for the next five years!"

After saying this, Chen Kai left directly.

Days passed one by one.

Soon, the opening day box office statistics for the three films were tallied.

Crazy Stone's opening day box office was 3. 9 million.

Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles' opening day box office was 11. million.

The Promise's opening day box office was 14. million.

Crazy Stone was ranked at the very bottom, which surprised no one, and the same went for the box office of the other two.

Once the second day's box office statistics came out, there was a very obvious change in the box office of the three films!

Among them, Crazy Stone's daily box office reached 8. million.

The box office for Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles and The Promise were 5. million and 6. million respectively.

The third day...

Crazy Stone's daily box office broke ten million, reaching 11. 4 million.

As for the remaining two films, they continued to trend downward.

The fourth day...

Crazy Stone's daily box office reached 12. million.

The box office for Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles and The Promise had already dropped to 2. million.

In the 130 days that followed, this year's New Year season became a solo stage for Crazy Stone.

The daily box office reached ten million every single day.

Although the box office began to decline after a few days, it still remained around five million.

The matter was already settled.

Momei Company's film had won once again.

At this moment, a phrase appeared online.

Produced by Momei, it must be a boutique!

As long as it is a work produced by Momei Company, even if Chen Mo is not starring in it, the work will absolutely not be bad!

December 23rd.

Crazy Stone finished its theatrical run. As of now, in the twenty-three days since its release, Crazy Stone's total box office reached 99. million!

It was only 700, 00 short of breaking 100 million!

For a low-budget film that cost only a little over three million, this was absolutely a miracle!

Director Ning Hao made a name for himself because of this film, and the actors in the film also gained a certain level of fame.

Especially the actor Huang Bo. Although he did not play the lead in this film, he left a deep impression on the audience, especially the scene where he crawled out from a manhole cover, robbed a bakery, and was chased by the owner on an electric scooter as he fled wildly down the road—a scene many audience members kept in their hearts.

December 24th.

Momei Company held a celebration banquet for the Crazy Stone crew.

And at the banquet, Huang Bo, who had been drifting in Beijing for so many years and finally made it big, burst into tears.

Soon, time passed day by day.

In January, the North American director Martin called Chen Mo.

The post-production of Crank had been completed, and the film had passed review. The film's rating was USA: R, which is a restricted rating.

Because this film was filled with a large number of violent scenes!

The film's release date was set for a month later, which was after the Chinese New Year.

In addition to Crank, Iron Man, which was filmed by Momei Company in North America, also successfully wrapped up! It had also begun post-production.

Furthermore, Harry Potter 7 had begun preparations!

Domestically, the actors and crew for Soldiers Sortie had all been assembled. The actors were now sent to the military for three months of training, and filming would officially begin only after the three months of training were over.

By the way.

It is worth mentioning that in Soldiers Sortie, other than the actor playing Cheng Cai being replaced, the other roles remained the original cast.

In the previous life, the actor who played Cheng Cai in Soldiers Sortie was Chen Sicheng; in this life, he was replaced by Huang Haibo.
