Although there were not many people in the small theater, and the film's soundtrack had not yet been completed, and it was only a semi-finished film at best. However, it still attracted bursts of laughter during the screening, and until the end of the screening, several big bosses including the staff were present
Inside, everyone stood up and applauded.
This is respect for an excellent movie and also respect for the director.
Ning Hao was so flattered that he quickly turned around and bowed to everyone, his face turned into a chrysanthemum smile.
In contrast, He Xin seemed relatively calm.
Maybe it's the memories from my previous life that are causing trouble. I always feel that "Racing" is not as stunning as "Stone". It seems that the style is similar, which inevitably leads to some aesthetic fatigue.
Moreover, "Stone" is completely an ensemble show, and the roles of various actors are relatively even, while "Racing" is more inclined to Bo Ge. Bo Ge's performance is naturally nothing to say. But from a professional point of view, and He Xin's own performance
Based on my understanding, including the various screen images that Bo Ge has created in my memory, I always feel that his performance is somewhat stereotyped and not enough to make him amazing.
But having said that, compared to the domestic comedies on the market today, "Racing" is still unique. The baggage and laughter in the film are not purely about language like Feng's comedies, but more about the effects created by the plot.
When watching this film, the audience seems to be sitting on a chair without legs, unable to figure out the plot and having the urge to jump up at any time. It is no wonder that industry leaders such as Mr. San, Yu Dong and Zhang Guoli, who are not easily happy, are
I was extremely happy while watching the movie.
The most serious thing about Ning Hao is that every shot in the film is not perfunctory, every plot can withstand scrutiny, and every edit is just right.
There are no difficult actions, no dazzling computer special effects, and no offensive elements like the hodgepodge of shit and piss in Korean movies. Its plots are easy to understand, and most of them are derived from real life, so everyone can watch it.
Understand.
What bothers He Xin the most is the kind of movies that make people confused and confused, like Jiang Wen's kind, who brazenly said: "Just don't understand it!"
What kind of fame is this?
Audiences buy tickets to watch movies just to relax and not need to speculate too much. Just follow the plot and be high for two hours. I don't have time to take philosophy classes with you, and you have to waste brain cells.
"Racing" is pure and simple. The film does not have an in-depth exploration of human nature, although there are many satires, such as health products, real estate market, cemetery sales, temple incense, etc. The film also has no real distinction between good and bad.
Movies like Zhou Xingxing always set up one or two characters with physical defects and oppression to please the audience.
Simple, clean, and non-discriminatory, as long as the audience finds it funny and enjoyable. Perhaps these are the elements that an excellent commercial film must possess.
"Okay, okay, very exciting!"
The third master was particularly satisfied. He looked at Ning Hao with eyes filled with relief. He had not misjudged the person. This guy could indeed bring surprises to him.
"We must hurry up on the following work, and I will arrange for the review as soon as possible."
The third master gave a special instruction before leaving. As for the schedule selection, it is not something they should worry about. As the distributor, China Film Group Corporation, especially with the attention of the third master, "Racing" will definitely be able to get the best schedule.
"Let's go!"
He Xin did not bring his assistant Shen Ming with him today, and drove his own Ma Liu. The car will break down easily if it is parked in the basement for several months.
After getting on the bus, Ning Hao put down his seat and lay down comfortably. At the same time, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "I finally passed the test. I have to take a good rest this time."
"Didn't Third Master tell you to finish it as soon as possible?"
"All that's left is the soundtrack. I'm not good at it, so I leave it to Dong Dongdong."
Dong Dongdong is one of his buddies, from the Nortel Recording Department, who was in the same class as him. After graduation, he founded a music studio and often composed music for CCTV and Beijing TV evening parties. His skills were good. He was the original star of "Two Donkeys"
I asked him to do the soundtrack, and the effect is quite good.
After saying that, Ning Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have been working all day and night during this period, and my son doesn't even recognize me."
Ning Hao seems to be a nonchalant guy, but in fact he is extremely serious about movies. Under normal circumstances, other directors may be able to complete a movie in a year. But it is impossible for him to do it. From the early script planning to the selection,
Scenery, selection of actors, filming, post-editing, probably except for the soundtrack, almost all the work is done personally. The production cycle of a movie takes almost two years.
Thinking about it, He Xin does not seem to have many works by Ning Hao in his memory. Apart from the Crazy series, there are also "Blissful Heart" and a movie called "Golden Heist" that sounds like a bad movie.
of.
"After "Racing" is over, what other plans do you have?" He Xin asked casually while driving.
"I have the idea, but it hasn't been formed into a script yet. I still have to think about it," Ning Hao said.
"You still want to do something crazy, maybe some crazy UFO, right?" He Xin said deliberately.
"No, I'm not interested in the concept of madness at all right now."
"Hey, don't everyone like trilogies? Your idol, Chief Jia, made a hometown trilogy. I think you should follow your idol and make a crazy series of trilogies." He Xin
He joked with a smile.
"Why? Oh, everyone has a trilogy. I also have to do a crazy trilogy. Can't a two-parter work?" Ning Hao suddenly jumped up and said with excitement on his face, almost hitting his head.
Car roof.
"I just said that casually, why are you so excited?" He Xin also glared at him and said.
"well!"
This guy suddenly let out a long sigh, rubbed his face with both hands and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm not angry at you, I'm angry with myself. To tell you the truth, I have been quite confused during this period.
Don't look at the movie watching just now, which was very lively, and Sanye's evaluation was very high. In fact, I know very well that the movie "Racing" is just a replica of "The Stone". Maybe in terms of genre copying, I have succeeded in form.
Yes, but it was a failure in creation! Hey, don’t say that you have no idea, I can see it, your reaction just now was very dull, do you look down on me? "
"If I look down on you, will I cooperate with you? Are you sick?" He Xin rolled his eyes at him angrily, and then said: "I think you just want to do it!"
Having said that, He Xin also knew in his heart that Ning Hao had always had a dream of being an artist, otherwise he would not regard Chief Jia as his idol.
"Hey, you can say that. I might just want to do it once. If you really want me to make another crazy trilogy now, to be honest, I have no desire to create at all."
"Then what do you mean? What is the specific idea you just mentioned?" He Xin couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Do you remember that I told you when I was filming "Green Grass" that the people on the grasslands particularly despise the spirit of contract? They never smile, nod and bow to greet people, and they often stop patting and suddenly stop talking.
I took the photo and left if I didn’t think it was fun.”
"That's right, not only did you tell me, Xiao Douding was also very anxious about this and quarreled with them several times. As a result, everyone couldn't understand what they said, and they were talking like ducks." Thinking of this incident, He
Xin couldn't help but laugh.
"That's right!"
Ning Hao slapped his thigh, raised the back of the chair again, and approached him and said: "So I have been thinking about this matter. Maybe the grasslands are sparsely populated, and they don't need this at all. The so-called spirit of contract may just be
Cities only need these things, and only when people are close to each other do they need these things. Do you think this is true?"
"may be."
He Xin is not sure about this kind of thing.
"I just think that people have animal attributes. The animal attributes are first of all evil and taking. The social attributes are kindness and giving. So people have two sides. Simply put, it is the relationship between taking and giving. I just want to shoot a
Something like this explores the duality of the human heart."
As soon as Ning Hao finished speaking, He Xin said without even thinking about it: "No problem!"
Although he was still a little confused about Ning Hao's words and didn't know what he wanted to film, his idea was very simple, and he would definitely not lose money by investing in Ning Hao. And comparing his feelings with his own, he originally insisted on making "Wulin Gaiden"
", Ning Hao also supported him very much.
"Uh... aren't you worried about losing money?"
It turned out that Ning Hao was still thinking about how to persuade him, but he didn't expect his attitude to be so straightforward.
"Oh, now you are worried about losing money, so where did your courage go when you tricked me into filming "Incense"?" He Xin snorted coldly.
Inadvertently, he also exposed his petty side.
When Ning Hao heard him mention this, he immediately scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said: "The situation now is different from the original situation. Now we are doing business together and the company is open. If it's really a losing business, it's a bit... a bit
It’s unreasonable.”
"It's okay. Based on the market situation of "Stone", your "Racing" will definitely make money. I will keep this money for you later and invest as much as I earn. Is this settled?"
