Chapter 180: 2011 Chinese New Year
That day was exactly what Zhang Bufan said, Ning Hao ate at Zhang Bufan's place before going back.
Don't get me wrong, this meal isn't dinner, it's a late-night snack.
The discussion between the two is really a passionate collision between ideas, Zhang Bufan's script is not absolutely perfect, and Ning Hao, who has finally settled his mind, is worthy of his name as a "ghost director", so the completion of the entire script has been greatly improved.
But in this way, it is not an hour or two to stay, the two of them chatted until the second half of the night, if it weren't for Zhang Bufan's lack of beds here, Ning Hao would probably live here.
In the afternoon, I casually made two dishes to deal with the past, and in the evening, I was hungry again, Zhang Bufan went into the kitchen to see that they were all leftovers, with few styles, but not much, so I simply found the induction cooker that he had bought back from the corner of the storage room and hadn't used it a few times - make hot pot!
After fighting with Ning Hao for an afternoon, Zhang Bufan didn't have the energy to make the bottom of the pot by himself, fortunately, there was a preparation in the small restaurant, take it and take a look, oh, it's only been expired for less than a month, you can use it!
So get off the bottom of the pot, pour water, wash the dishes casually, cut the meat into slices, and bring out the dishes one by one, the small ingredients are more convenient, there is no hot pot that can't be done with a piece of sesame sauce, if there is, then add some garlic.
The two of them were eating hot pot, and their interest was also in full swing, and the topic that might have ended at eleven or twelve o'clock was finally chatted until the second half of the night, seeing that the last vegetable leaf on the plate was gone, Ning Hao stood up with a pat on his stomach.
The way he feels now can be described in two words - satisfaction!
Both the discussion about the script and his stomach were greatly satisfied, so he prepared to go home and sleep.
Zhang Bufan asked Ning Hao if he wanted to go to the movie again tomorrow, but Ning Hao refused, according to his words, a "Let the Bullets Fly" has not been digested, so he won't watch the others first, he can't chew too much, and it's easy to get upset.
So, Zhang Bufan, who finally found a companion, became a loner again, but fortunately, he got used to it.
This year's Chinese New Year movies, compared with last year, the quality has improved by one or two points, not to mention the big hit of "Let the Bullets Fly", Chen Kaige's "Zhao's Orphan" and Zhang Erbai's "Carry on Love to the End" have met or even exceeded Zhang Bufan's psychological expectations.
I have to say that since the failure of the "Steamed Bun Bloody Case", Chen Kaige, who has calmed down to tell the story well, is worthy of the identity of a great director, the previous "Mei Lanfang" can be said to be above the level, and a "Zhao's Orphan" is at least passable, although it is a bit anticlimactic, but it is still a work that can make the audience watch smoothly and attentively, well, by the way, Huang Jiao's acting skills are indeed a little embarrassing......
And Zhang Erbai is still the father of the domestic idol drama, this movie of the same name that continues the "first domestic idol drama in the mainland", for the in-depth discussion of love, even Zhang Bufan, who has tasted love for the first time, has a lot of resonance. Three stories, with different endings, tell people what was once difficult to turn into water, and also tell people to cherish what you love in front of you.
However, there are surprises and disappointments, such as this year's Xiangjiang movie, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "all line YW", all kinds of big investments and all kinds of big stars, and the resulting movie still can't get rid of the family reunion and funny thing in the last century.
Even the "I Know a Woman's Heart", which brings together Andy and Gong Huang, is the same, a remake movie, still with a slow rhythm and poor laughter, and it makes people sleepy.
The problem with Xiangjiang movies is not in the actors, but in the fact that they never seem to be able to break out of the traps set by their predecessors, the stories are old-fashioned and the same, in short, they are crazy to change their skins by grabbing a success, the funny thing is that the online games in the mainland have found that this is not possible in recent years, but the Xiangjiang film and television people still haven't found out.
Of course, these are still secondary, after experiencing the incident on Taiwan Island, Zhang Bufan can be regarded as having seen through the essence of Xiangjiang movies, so he didn't have much expectations.
What really disappointed him was Xiao Gangcang's "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2".
is still the iron triangle of Wang Shuo's script director of Xiaogang Cannon and Uncle Ge's protagonist, and there are acting masters like Shu Qi, Yan Wang, Yao Dazui, and Liao Yuanzhang to help, which can be described as an all-star lineup, and as a result, such a movie was made?
The whole movie can be described simply with three nothings, no main line, no emotion, no climax, and the whole process is in the crazy vernacular, which feels like this is not a movie directed by Xiao Gangcang, but more like a collection of essays by Wang Shuo.
Zhang Bufan said when he chatted with Ning Hao before that not only the director will stuff personal ideology into the movie, but also the screenwriter.
And "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" seems to confirm Zhang Bufan's words, the whole article is full of Wang Shuo's own life insights.
Especially the part where King Yan held a funeral for himself and spoke at the funeral, many people felt that it was the only highlight in the whole movie, but Zhang Bufan felt that it was the biggest failure, this paragraph is not like something that the story should have happened naturally, but like a plot specially designed to pour that mouthful of chicken soup into people, which seems extremely abrupt in the whole movie.
And the problem is that that mouthful of chicken soup is not delicious, and it is so greasy that people want to vomit......
When a director or screenwriter likes to stuff personal ideology into the movie more and more, this is the inevitable end, right? The most important thing is that they can't see it, just like "If You Are the Truth 2", with the strong box office shown in this movie, coupled with Wang Shuo's temper like a stone in a pit, he will only think that you audiences don't understand, and will never think that it is his own problem, and what about Xiao Gangcang? He may have seen the problem, but as an iron triangle combination, can he cut with Wang Shuo so easily?
The next one, or even the next movie, will still be like this.
Xiao Gang Cannon is a very realistic person, he not only wants the box office, but also fame, now his name is a box office guarantee, fame is even more important to him, when his fame is continuously hit because of this kind of movie, it should be time for him to make a decision to cut.
In any case, this year's Chinese New Year domestic movies are exciting, and on Zhang Bufan's bedroom computer, there is a lot of content in the folder called "Role Analysis" in the "Work Disk", which is more than double that of last year.
That's it, the days of January passed quickly, and on this day, Tong Liya, who finally ended the scene, came back.
