Chapter 2 Do you have a car?
This is Ning Hao's first time filming a commercial film and has no experience. His previous two dramas "Incense" and "Green Grass" are very typical author movies.
The author's movie is also called a film festival. As long as it is screened in one place, you can travel for free. There are more than 200 film festivals all over the world. If you hold a film festival, you will definitely need to screen the film. How to do it? It provides accommodation and car fees for many directors. As long as you come, the arrangement will be absolutely true!
Ning Hao's first movie was shortlisted for the Locarno International Film Festival, and then traveled around the world with the film...
This kind of life is actually quite boring because there is no sense of identity!
Think about it, you traveled thousands of miles to show movies for foreigners, but foreigners may not be able to understand...
It should be 2003, when the Berlin Film Festival held "Green Grass". Ning Hao counted that there were only forty viewers below...
A little sad:
‘I make a movie every year, running tens of thousands of kilometers to communicate with dozens of audiences, but I still can’t understand what they say… I hope that more audiences can watch my expressions. After all, Chinese movies are just marginalized overseas, and I should make some movies that Chinese audiences like!’
What does audiences like movies?
Commercial film!
He sorted out the script he had written before, "The Big Diamond" and decided to use it as his commercial debut.
Then, "Big Diamond" was selected for Liu Dehua's new Asian star guide program.
Lao Liu is really courageous. No matter whether he wants to gain reputation or not, Lao Liu actually paid three million for Ning Hao's "Big Diamond"!
All support is false, and you pay for real money and this is the most real support!
After the producer settled the score, three million funds were not enough for two months...
Ning Hao thought about it and simply used high-definition digital shooting, and then converted to glue later.
The question is, "Big Diamond", which means "Crazy Stone", has a big drama.
car!
Cars are expensive these days, and the owners are so precious. According to the plot, two cars are needed, and they are all going to be hit...
"That Maserati, a headlight costs tens of thousands of yuan, we really can't afford it!"
"What? Tens of thousands of headlights?"
Huang Bo was shocked...
Ning Hao disagreed: "I'm so fussy, my headlights have to be matched in Germany in the original form!"
“Can’t be found in China?”
"Who is the advanced one in China? Can you find the original one?"
"Cough cough..." Yue Xiaojun coughed and interrupted Ning Hao's pretentiousness: "Maserati is an Italian car!"
"…After talking for a long time, are you bragging too?"
Ning Hao stammered for a while, probably saying something like 'How can the director's business be called bragging? I said Maserati is from Germany' and so on...
Yue Xiaojun said: "Lao Ning, this matter is not easy to deal with. We have hit someone and can't afford to pay..."
"Crazy Stone", Yue Xiaojun is both a screenwriter, deputy director, and one of the leading actors. It's the one that, "What do you like about him? Is he better than the eldest brother? Is he better than me?" That person...
Ning Hao nodded: "So, what I mean is that we add one to the contract: All rights to explain belong to the crew..."
Huang Bo was speechless: "Then aren't you cheating people?"
"Why am I cheating? It's normal for the filming to damage the props!"
Huang Bo was speechless...
That's right, Ning Hao and his group of people are gangsters. They really dare to sign a false contract and then hit the car...
As for what to do later?
Do whatever you like, anyway, the crew has no money anyway, if you don’t agree, you can find Liu Dehua!
From a moral point of view, this is a lie!
But from a movie perspective...
"I wish I could find a sucker!"
"Where is such a fool? A car is worth more than 100,000 yuan!"
“…”
Huang Bo suddenly remembered Lu Xiaoran's black Passat...
...
In the car, Husky was popularizing science: "Ning Hao, Huang Bo, and Xu Zheng are the leaders of future Chinese films!"
"I tell you that it is very important for you to have a good relationship with them!"
"…Where is Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Brother Chen Kai?"
"They are all old and have quit the stage of history..."
"Who is the highest vote?"
“…Wolf Warrior 2 by Wu Jing!”
Lu Xiaoran was startled: "Ah? Wu Jing? Wu Jing from "The Grandmaster of Tai Chi"? Are you sure?"
Wu Jing…
How to say it, he has been addicted to martial arts TV series recently and has difficulty extricating himself, such as "Southern Shaolin", "Rich Country First", "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Wudang 2" that almost auditioned...
It is hard to imagine that he can become the king of box office!
Husky was very sure: "I can't remember the specific time very clearly, but it should be 17 years... No hurry, you can enter the iron triangle first!"
"Iron Triangle?"
"Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, many people call them the Iron Triangle. Whether it is box office appeal or movie reputation, they are unique, and they have undisputed strength in the film and television industry!"
"After "Stone", they created "Crazy Racing", "Lost in the Heart" and "Lost in Thailand"... The last two movies have a box office of more than one billion yuan. If you are with them, it is much better than if you are with that Huayi!"
"How many? One billion box office? Are you going to put this nonsense?"
What is the concept of a billion box office?
The total box office of domestic movies last year was 2 billion, and the highest box office movie was "The Promise", which was 181 million, and then the 97 million "Myth"...
Let me put it this way, there are only a few domestic movies with box office of over 100 million to date, "Hero", "Kung Fu", "Ten-Ambushes", "No Thieves in the World"...
Billion...
The auxiliary device doesn’t know how to explain it specifically: “…I’m too lazy to say so much to you, a rustic guy, anyway, just believe me!”
“…”
Although Lu Xiaoran had some doubts, the Husky had never deceived him. Since he said so, he must be right.
...
"Brother Bo, Brother Yue, Director Ning!"
Of course Lu Xiaoran knew this group of people.
The circle is so big...
"Here," Huang Bo greeted Lu Xiaoran and sat down: "How is it? You told me last month what were you going to audition for... Yang Family Generals?"
"The Young Yang Family Generals", a TV series created by Tang Ren and Huayi..."
Ning Hao asked in confusion: "Didn't the "Yangmen Tiger General" be released a few years ago?"
"Yes, it's a work that follows the trend." Lu Xiaoran replied, and then said, "...I signed the contract and was beaten up!"
“…If you sign a contract, can someone else bear it?”
"I have a good relationship with the producer..." Lu Xiaoran was too lazy to say so much, he was all insiders. Such things happen frequently, so I guess he has been used to it for a long time.
"Waiter, come four bottles of Qingdao and another serving of mixed sauce noodles!"
“…You still eat mixed noodles with sauce on the bar?”
"Then what should I eat? Do you want to eat? I'll treat you!"
"Okay, eat it!"
Ning Hao likes Lu Xiaoran's temper very much. He is a rustic guy, so why are you pretending to be a fool?
"…I won't talk about this anymore, Xiao Lu, I heard you rejected Qiong Yao? Why?"
"Her book is too anti-human. No matter which drama, the mistress is involuntarily involuntarily. The male protagonist is a scumbag. The female protagonist is pitiful on the surface, but in fact he is a mistress who destroys the family. Look at the "Deep Love in the Rain", He Shuhuan is a typical scumbag. The classic saying "I am not the only man in the world who is moved by two women," made me feel nauseous. I really can't accept such a role."
"Haha..." Huang Bo laughed so hard that he patted Yue Xiaojun on the shoulder: "I'll just say that my buddy is interesting!"
"...No, if I want to play the role, I must like it from the bottom of my heart, otherwise I can't play it."
"Yes, I really feel it, really listen, really feel it!"
Huang Bo suddenly thought of something, first glanced at Ning Hao, then asked: "Xiao Lu, do you have a car?"
Chapter completed!
