Chapter 142: Hooligans and Good Monkeys

The two protagonists in "People in Embarrassment" are a typical combination of brainless and unhappy.

An urban elite, shrewd and self-interested, a low-level grassroots, simple and ignorant.

But the unlucky ones are always the elites, and the seemingly simple grassroots can take advantage of them.

Using the grassroots to tease the elite is a funny technique commonly used in ancient and modern China and abroad.

But grassroots roots are not equal to stupid roots, and simplicity is not equal to a tendon.

Ning Hao is a bit of a hooligan in his bones, before the release of "Crazy Stone", he had a fight with the security guards in the community, and then was arrested and put in the detention center.

He was hungry for information, so he enjoyed interrogating new prisoners with the cell boss, more carefully than the police.

Later, he and a thief became bosom friends, and the two talked from the art of motorcycle maintenance to Jia Zhangke's "Xiao Wu".

The day his wife fished him out of it, he said there were no bad people in it.

Thanks to such a unique experience, Ning Hao's understanding of the bottom of the Celestial Empire is far better than that of other directors.

In his films, there are no outright villains, but there are also no inexplicably good people.

Everyone is driven by their own desires, and the desires of society.

So Niu Geng's role has been changed from a simple and kind stupid root to a migrant worker with a little cunning.

Whether such a role will be more marketable, no one knows, but it is more suitable for Huang Bo.

Even Xu Zheng believes that such a change is indeed more reasonable and interesting.

But who to shoot is a problem.

Ning Hao has changed the script beyond recognition according to his own habits, and no one can shoot that feeling except him.

But this guy is dead or alive.

It wasn't until the last day of 2009 that Huang Bo came up with a trick.

He bought some food and drinks, and with Zhou Jin and Xu Zheng, he was ready to visit Ning Hao's wife together. I can't handle you Ning Hao, can't I still handle your wife?

This is called the curve to save the country.

Ning Hao's wife's name is Xing Na, and she and Ning Hao met at Nortel and have been married for many years.

Compared with Ning Hao's fame all over the world, Xing Na is a little unknown.

But in the eyes of insiders, behind Ning Hao's success, there is always Xing Na's figure.

Because Xing Na is a screenwriter, "Incense", "Green Meadow", "Crazy Stone", and even the later "Gold Robbery" are all from her.

Huang Bo knocked on the door, and a very beautiful woman dressed in home clothes appeared in front of the three of them.

"Bozi, Lao Xu, are you coming, who is this?" Xing Na obviously didn't know Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin smiled: "Hello sister-in-law, I'm Zhou Jin, a primary school student in the actor class." ”

"Come on, come on, come in and sit," Xing Na took slippers for the three of them, "Lao Ning, come out quickly." ”

Ning Hao was in the bathroom, solving personal problems, came out with his pants, and when he saw the three of them, he immediately shouted: "It's useless for you to come to my house, I said I won't shoot." ”

"Who is looking for you," Huang Bo said disdainfully, "I'm looking for my sister-in-law." ”

"What are you looking for?" asked Xing Na.

Huang Bo took out the script from his bag, "A few of us got a script, but none of us are professionals, and we don't have any bottom in our hearts, so I wonder if you can give it to us." ”

"Really?" Xing Na was a little unconvinced.

After taking the script, Xing Na simply flipped through it, after all, she is also a professional screenwriter who has written a lot of scripts, and she can see at a glance that this is definitely a good story.

It's just that as soon as she saw the little hotel called Night Paris, she was immediately happy.

Xing Na winked and glanced at Ning Hao, "Are you drunkards and don't mean to be in the bar?"

Huang Bo nodded hurriedly and gave her a thumbs up.

Xing Na understood, "Don't worry, it's on me." ”

The no-man's land was postponed, and she was also very unhappy, but what was even more unhappy was Ning Hao's decadent energy.

Find him another low-budget comedy movie to restore his confidence, and Xing Na is also happy to see it.

Ning Hao was lying on the sofa, holding the remote control in his hand, and changed the channel carelessly.

Listening to the discussion over there, I became more and more unpleasant.

You've come to beg me, and if you keep going, maybe I'll agree."

Ma Dan, the progress bar has reached 99%, and you have canceled it.

Now I'm running to find my wife again, what's the matter?

"Daughter-in-law, I'm hungry......" Ning Hao shouted at the top of his voice.

"Bear with it!"

A lion's roar came, and Ning Hao immediately became impotent.

Xing Na continued: "Li Chenggong is played by Lao Xu, Niu Geng is your Bozi, so Xiao Zhou, you play this handsome?"

They've talked about casting.

Zhou Jin smiled: "This depends on the director's meaning, and my trumpet Zhou Gongjin." ”

"Then I'll call you Gong Jin," Xing Na continued to flip through the script, "Then who will play this Nana?

"It's Li Xiaolu at the beginning," Xu Zheng said, "but the junior hasn't been decided yet, and Li Chenggong and his wife, the investor recommends Zuo Xiaoqing." ”

Xing Na smiled slightly, "I think it's quite appropriate for Li Xiaolu to play the junior." ”

Xu Zheng smiled: "Sister-in-law is joking, people are a star, and they may not be willing to accept it." ”

According to the rules of the film and television industry of the Celestial Empire, the status of movie cafes is higher than that of TV cafes.

But even if it's a supporting role, people would rather play a positive role.

The role is just like that, and she plays a junior, who wants to play a female star.

Of course, if there is Ning Hao's blessing, it is another matter.

The four of them discussed for a circle and settled down several main actors, and Ning Hao pretended not to hear anything.

"Ah, it's 12 o'clock, we're all hungry, or let's eat first." Xing Na proposed.

"I'm not hungry," Ning Hao said immediately.

"Who asked you, do you like to eat or not? Xing Na suppressed it strongly, and then went to the kitchen to prepare dishes and chopsticks.

Hey, then I won't eat it!

Ning Hao resisted the impulse, and kept changing the remote control in his hand.

"Can you stop tossing my TV?" Xing Na couldn't help but say.

Ning Hao pretended not to hear.

"Gong Jin, are you from the south, are you used to eating our northern food?" asked Xing Na.

Zhou Jin said: "I am from Zhejiang Province, but I was a northerner in my last life, so I have a heavy mouth." ”

Xing Na thought he was joking, and sandwiched a piece of roast duck for him, "Bozi has a heart, and I bought Quanjude's roast duck, you taste it, dip it in the sauce and eat ......it."

"Thank you, sister-in-law......"

Ning Hao sniffled, smelled it, and the sound of chewing was still in his ears, how could he bear it?!

Dropping the remote control, Ning Hao rushed into the kitchen, wanting to get a pair of dishes and chopsticks for herself, Xing Na shouted: "It's all for you." ”

"Anyway, I won't shoot it, you guys should die," Ning Hao threw down a sentence, threw himself on the chair, and ate directly.

"Who is so rare that you will shoot," Xing Na said: "Lao Xu plans to be the director himself, and without you, he would rather be a butcher, and he would have to eat hairy pigs?"

Xing Na can say this, if he changes someone else, Ning Hao will be fried, he looked at Xu Zheng and didn't speak again.

"However, after all, Lao Xu is the first time to be a director, so there is still a lack of a producer. ”

Xing Na hugged his head and snorted, "If you dare to say no, don't ask for your head hair, do you believe it or not?"

Ning Hao suddenly remembered the fear of being dominated in the past, and subconsciously clamped his legs.

"It's okay to be a producer, but I have one condition," Ning Hao said with difficulty.

"You say, we will say yes. ”

Seeing that this guy finally relented, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng nodded hurriedly.

Ning Hao looked at Zhou Jin again, "And you." ”

What else is my business? Zhou Jin also nodded quickly, "You just say it." ”

Ning Hao put Xing Na's hand on his head, gently took it off, sat up straight and said, "I plan to open a film and television company, what do you think?"

"I've thought of a name, so I'll call it Monkey Pictures. ”
