As the plot develops, the main line of the story gradually becomes clear. The factory director dug up a priceless jade and wanted to use it to bring the factory back to life, but all parties took notice.
In addition to the two forces of Brother Dao and Dong Feng, there are also the branch lines of Sanbao, Xie Xiaomeng's branch, Bao Shihong's obscure illness, etc...
Faced with such a wealth of clues, the audience quickly learned the correct way to watch the movie and no longer made a fuss about the ambushes set up by the movie. The audience's ability to accept it is very strong!
"I'll beat your lungs out!"
"This is a brand name, Baleno!"
"Nike? It also comes with a camera?"
"You women, you just don't understand that this is the period when my career is on the rise. How can I get away with it?"
"My daughter-in-law is sleeping with someone else, and no one cares about it... We are not married, but we have real feelings... What? Even if we are married, no one cares about it, is there any law?... Are you a tampering person?
What kind of lawyer is this?"
"Kid, come on, call your daddy."
"You insulted my character first, and now you insult my IQ!"
The funny lines came one after another, making the whole cinema burst into laughter with almost no lull.
In a word: The pace is tight, the baggage is substantial, and there are no peeing spots throughout the process.
The ending of the story is also like that of most domestic movies, good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. Bao Shihong, who kept his kindness, had the last laugh.
When he was with his lover on the dock, his bright smile, his lover who was always by his side, and the kindness in his heart were the real priceless treasures that no matter how expensive the jade was, they couldn't be exchanged for it!
At the end of the film, Huang Bo is biting bread and is chased by a shopkeeper on a scooter. Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker" plays and the film ends...
"Whoosh!"
Almost instantly, the audience spontaneously clapped their hands to pay tribute to this movie, all the creators, and the sincerity and enthusiasm in it.
The screen dims and the lights come on.
Liu Yiwei walked onto the stage and cheerfully took the microphone and asked the audience below: "Is the movie good?"
"nice!"
"Are you happy?"
"hapiness!"
The audience's emotions have already been aroused.
"Happiness needs to be shared. Please promote it more when you go back and try to get your friends to come to the cinema and have fun!"
"good!"
"Hahaha!"
These words had a bit of a driving feel to them, and caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Liu Yiwei said a few words on the stage, and then announced: "Now let us invite the director Ning Hao and the actors to the stage with warm applause!"
The main creators filed on stage, including Ning Hao, Guo Tao, Liu Hua, Huang Bo, Zhang Yi, Yue Xiaojun... Deng Chao, Liu Ye, and Xu Guangtou did not come. The former two are the leading traffic niches of their respective companies, although the latter is a wretched one.
Male, but in the past two years, due to the popularity of a series of costume comedies such as "Zhu Bajie", "Li Wei", "Love Through Time", etc., there have been constant filming appointments and I have been unable to do anything.
He Xin and his girlfriend Cheng Hao consciously did not try to steal the limelight and huddled to the side. Before the movie was shown, everyone was more interested in watching He Xin, Cheng Hao, and the celebrities who came to support them. They were not familiar with the unknown gang.
Wai Gua Ka Zao is not interested, and is even a little disappointed.
But now it's completely different. Comparing the respective characters in the play and seeing their slightly embarrassed and nervous faces, the audience couldn't help laughing.
"Thank you! Thank you everyone!"
Ning Hao stood on the stage and kept thanking the enthusiastic audience below. Although he had directed two movies before, he had never been so popular with the audience as he was today. For a moment, this guy's face was filled with excitement.
"First of all, I want to thank Mr. Yu Dong and my partner He Xin!" He pointed to Yu Dong, who was not on stage, and He Xin, who was standing at the edge.
Yu Dong sat in his seat and nodded, while He Xin quickly waved his hand at him. "Stone" was completely the work of Ning Hao from the beginning, and his role in it was limited.
"No, no, no!" Ning Hao shook his head.
"Actually, I had this idea for the "Stone" script around 2000. In fact, it was still very imperfect at the time. To be honest, I didn't think it was a mature script at first. But He Xin learned from this story.
I found the bright spots in it, and always encouraged me and supported me to make this story. Later, Mr. Yu joined me, ensuring the birth of this movie..."
Ning Hao is very excited, very nervous, and feels very lucky at the same time. From "Incense" all the way to today, he feels that he has been much smoother than many of his peers.
"Incense" went to Venice, "Green Grass" went to Berlin, and now "Stone" has created such a formation. He feels that all this happened after he met and cooperated with He Xin, and all this was He Xin
He kept pushing him from behind.
Channels, funds, distribution, and even participation in film festivals, he hardly has to worry about these. He just needs to devote himself to creation. What a precious resource for a grassroots director with no background. Perhaps only those big directors can
Equipped with such qualifications.
At this moment, he was really grateful to He Xin.
When it came to interviewing the actors, Guo Tao was quite satisfactory, but Huang Bo, who has rich grassroots stage experience, got smart and interacted with Liu Hua and Yue Xiaojun, the stupid trio in the movie, which received bursts of applause and laughter from the audience.
.
"Come on, let's interview our 'Mike' He Xin!"
Compared to the others who were dressed casually, He Xin looked very different today in a black dress, like a social elite among a group of nomads. Coupled with the cool expression he always had when he appeared in front of the media and the public, people immediately
It reminded me of the dedicated and dedicated Mike in the movie just now. Even though he was in a mess, he still managed to say to Zhang Yi on the phone: "There was a little accident, but everything is still under control."
And especially when the audience associates Liu Huaqiang in "Conquer", the murderous Fenghuo Liancheng in "Seven Swords", and the ghost wolf who is both good and evil in "The Promise", they feel a special sense of contrast.
So, when he walked out from the side and made such a cool poke in front of the stage, the audience on the stage couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
Hey, are you laughing?
Looking at his confused look, it looked like he was in a movie where a box was stolen, and then he found that the rope was broken, and finally found out that he had killed the wrong person. The laughter in the audience became even louder.
"Okay, okay, the laughter and applause of the audience really shows the success of this character you created."
Liu Yiwei took the microphone and interviewed on the spot: "He Xin, your previous works were basically dramas. Why did you try a comedy this time, and you played a supporting role?"
"Well, I wanted to play the leading role, especially Bao Shihong played by Brother Tao. I really like this role, but it's a pity that the director won't let me!"
Huh?
Liu Yiwei felt that this should be a topic, so he quickly asked: "Why not let it go?"
"The director said I wasn't as good at acting as Brother Tao!" He pointed at Guo Tao and said with a pretended look of helplessness.
Guo Tao hurriedly clasped his hands together and repeatedly expressed his fear.
"Director Ning, is that true?" Liu Yiwei took the opportunity to point the microphone at Ning Hao again.
"Yes!" Ning Hao smiled and nodded.
After the initial nervousness, he relaxed now and explained with a smile: "Of course this is not a problem of acting skills, the main problem is whether the character is suitable or not. I think the characteristics of the character Bao Shihong are
He can't find it on him, but Brother Tao has it."
Speaking, Ning Hao also joked: "Actually, I wanted him to play Xie Xiaomeng at the beginning. For example, Xie Xiaomeng's artistic style was tailor-made for him..."
"Hahaha!"
The audience couldn't help laughing again, what a high-level guy! He Xin's impression in the minds of the audience at this time can definitely be called a "literary male god" in the words of later generations. After all, he has made so many literary films.
"Of course, he may like the character of Mike more, probably because he may feel that besides being artistic, he should be cooler..."
Although the interviews were all filled with routine questions and answers, they couldn't hold back the enthusiasm of the audience. When it came to the audience question session, the audience was even more crazy about grabbing topics.
For publicity, this kind of atmosphere is what everyone needs to answer questions. It is just a practice before the road show.
As the saying goes: laymen watch the fun, insiders watch the door.
Although all the directors and filmmakers here laughed like idiots while watching the movie, after laughing, their hearts were full of shock and admiration.
For example, Lu Chuan's first feeling after watching it was, "Ning Hao really dares to shoot like this!"
He even couldn't help but go on stage and say something famous to his junior brother, basically saying that if Ning Hao keeps filming like this, Feng Xiaogang should be nervous.
This passage has appeared in too many entertainment novels, so I won’t look for the original words here.
Lu Chuan is a proud man. Although he has some great ambitions and talents, he always positions himself at the level of Director Chen and the national master. And although his junior brother Ning Hao's "Stone" shocked him, in his eyes
At most, he is just the future Feng Xiaogang. So he doesn't mind helping his junior brother talk.
For example, when Chen Jianbing heard Ning Hao say on stage that the role of Bao Shihong, He Xin, was not suitable and that Guo Tao was suitable, he couldn't help but mutter sourly: "Actually, I am also suitable for this role."
Although Uncle Jianbing was talking sourly, the speaker had no intention of listening and the listener had a heart. Wu Yue, who was beside her, suddenly felt something in her heart. The main reason why she had been able to stay together with the unattractive Uncle Jianbing for so many years was because of his talent and ability.
Tangtang graduated with a master's degree from the Department of Chinese Opera Performance. He entered the Chinese drama theater and won the Golden Lion Award for Chinese Drama. For the first time he filmed the TV series "Ten Years of Marriage", he won the Feitian Award for the Audience's Favorite TV Drama Actor, which is commonly known as
"Seeing the Emperor".
Therefore, Wu Yue feels that her boyfriend is definitely capable of developing his career in movies, but there are too few movie resources these days.
She turned to her boyfriend and reminded her softly: "Today is a good opportunity. You will have more contact with Xiao He later."
As he said that, he couldn't help complaining: "The problem you have now is that your circle is too narrow. Don't hang out with your classmates all day long. They all look unreliable. You should expand your circle now."
You have to fight for the circle and opportunities by yourself."
Chen Jianbing’s circle of friends is the same group of buddies from Xinjiang Province who went to school with the Chinese Opera, Li Yapeng, Wang Xuebing and the like. Although both of them are very popular now, especially Li Yapeng was once crowned the "No. 1 in the Mainland"
"A small life". But Wu Yue has never been too cold towards them, always feeling that none of them seem to be doing their jobs properly. Of course, her boyfriend is a white lotus among this group of people.
Chen Jianbing is a bit of a chauvinist. If Wu Yue had said this at ordinary times, he would have stared and choked, but now he looked thoughtfully at He Xin who was interacting with the audience on the stage and did not say anything.
In recent years, the so-called excellent comedy movies in China are either a collection of pants-style jokes or a short-lived story about a short-lived family, with humorous language and uplifting themes, but the narrative technique is just one word, flat.
"Stone" is superior in that it is the first domestic comedy film to adopt a multi-line narrative.
Film narrative is all about editing, and a little more advanced is the so-called "montage".
The montage technique of "The Stone" is generally a cross-montage to tell the story. The three clues are sometimes connected and sometimes disconnected, dividing a period of time and space into three angles, which greatly increases the capacity of the film and enriches the details.
Especially in the second half of the film, the three clues continue to collide, and the camera quickly cuts between the three perspectives, making people dare not miss any detail. This kind of tension is something that continuous montage cannot achieve.
The so-called continuous montage means smooth cutting.
Not only that, the script itself is very interesting. There are three groups of characters in the story, the international thieves hired by real estate agent Xu Guangtou from Xiangjiang, a trio of thieves headed by Brother Dao, supplemented by Heipi and Xiaojun, and Bao Shihong
People from the security department.
The three groups formed an ingenious triangle, and the three of them went back and forth, fighting wits and courage. The slightly absurd stories became intertwined with ups and downs, and many plots made the audience gasp in admiration after watching them.
And the core of this story is very clear, it is the jade!
This also ensures that the comedy doesn’t become farce!
And all of this has invariably scratched the itch of the filmmakers and knowledgeable reporters who have been running movies all year round. In their opinion, this is not a simple popcorn movie.
It turns out that commercial films can also be made high-end!
