Chapter Thirty-Eight: Uh, I Seem to Have Become the Male No. 1...
The moderator is Liu Yiwei.
He came at Xu Zheng's invitation, but Xu Zheng didn't come...
Brother Shan Zheng is filming "Li Wei as an Official 2", he really can't get away, and he can appear at the last Shanghai premiere, which has delayed the crew for a day.
Liu Yiwei often hosts this type of movie premiere type of event - no way, good popularity.
Fixed routine, after the movie ended, the main creator was invited to the stage to share his creative experience, and he asked a few more questions that were not salty or light.
It's kind of a way for the media to have a report to write about.
Of course, out of professional respect, he rarely asks questions that interest him ...
, the question he's most interested in is definitely 'What is the reason you guys made such a bad movie?'
People in the rivers and lakes are all for the sake of good food!
However, "Crazy Stone" really made him feel the throbbing that he hadn't seen for a long time!
This... This movie is so good!
In fact, even if you analyze it from the current perspective, no matter how you rank, "Stone" is also a domestic comedy that can be ranked in the top three!
And even more so now 2006?
It's not an exaggeration to say that it came out of nowhere.
……
Offstage, a bunch of directors present were also quite interested...
They are all engaged in movies, and it can be seen that it takes courage to make such a work!
After all, multi-line narrative is a rarity in today's Chinese film industry, and "Stone" is the first time to play like this, so Ning Hao is not afraid of playing splits?
Yes, the investment of more than three million is not very expensive, a typical small cost, but it is also money.
What if, the audience doesn't accept it?
'Can a movie still be made like this?'
Or 'Ning Hao actually dares to play like this!'
What Lu Chuan admires most is Ning Hao's casting, where did he find these actors?
Except for Xie Xiaomeng, several other actors are really crooked melons and cracked dates, but one is better at acting than the other!
At the end of the day, the minds of the gang became, 'Oh!'
The creators came to the stage, and Ning Hao bowed and thanked the audience, as well as the media and colleagues on the scene:
"First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Andy Lau, "Crazy Stone" is the only mainland film work in the "Asian Rising Star Guide" program, without his funding and guidance, I would not have been able to make this film!"
"Lead the way?"
"Yes, although I'm not a film layman, I haven't made a commercial film before, and I'm very marginal, how can I say it, there is an invisible fortress between non-mainstream directors and mainstream directors that you can't cross. You don't know how to knock on the door of the studio, there is no channel, there is no possibility of dialogue. ”
"Mr. Andy Lau is the producer of "Stone", and we are in contact with formal resources, formal channels, and regular funds.
"Outside of this field, there are also a group of people who are called directors and make things that are also called movies, but that's different!"
This is true, film is not only art, but also industry, it is one thing to have ideals, and it is another thing to have the conditions to turn ideals into reality and put them on the screen.
So many new directors say that they have movie dreams and good scripts, who do they believe? And it takes tens of millions, millions, millions to open your mouth, I don't know who to give it to.
When most young directors make their first feature films, finding money is the most troublesome, and many directors even have to sell their cars and houses in exchange for money to make films.
Ning Hao was lucky to be appreciated by Andy Lau, who accompanied him throughout the process...
Without Andy Lau, "Stone" would not have been born at all!
When it came to the actor's interview, Guo Tao spoke first: "I read the script, and then I decided to act!"
"Well, so do I..."
Several other actors, including Lu Xiaoran, spoke in unison...
Ning Hao interjected: "Xiao Lu is also our investor, and the funds are not enough for half of the auction, so he almost sold the house and raised 600,000 yuan!"
Liu Yiwei was very interested: "Oh?
Lu Xiaoran was a little embarrassed: "It's not so serious, Lao Ning likes to exaggerate, I just happen to have money, if such a good movie has problems with funding, I think it's a pity, so I'll put it on..."
"You like this movie so much?"
"Well, I like it very much," Lu Xiaoran glanced at Ning Hao: "The main director promised me to look for me in the next play!"
"Haha, it seems that the relationship between your crew is very good, can you talk about how you joined the group?"
Why are you asking me so many questions?
I'm just a three-time male protagonist, and the real protagonist is Guo Tao.
Lu Xiaoran thought for a while and replied: "I brought money into the group, Lao Ning and they heard that I had a car and could be used as a prop, so they immediately signed me!"
"Really?"
Ning Hao was a little embarrassed to admit: "It's true, in fact, we first expected that Xie Xiaomeng was not so literary and artistic, nor was he so handsome... However, I can't stand that Xiao Lu is rich, and he is very familiar with the screenwriters and actors, and he is a relation!"
After that, we moved on to the regular topic of 'behind the scenes'...
"It must be serious, our crew is the biggest difference from other crews, the producer must prepare a medical kit, otherwise, the director will not shoot!"
'When I was filming, I didn't feel anything because I was feeling the character with all my heart, but when I went back to the hostel after that, it really hurt!'
‘… What's there to say about that? The role requirement is to endure so much suffering!'
……
Several directors at the scene also spoke highly of it:
Lu Chuan: "Seeing such a film, I really feel the passion and the power of youth, and I want to hurry up with my next film and work hard for China's own film." Ning Hao, if you keep insisting like this, Xiaogang should be nervous!"
Chen Kexin said bluntly: ""Crazy Stone" is not like a mainland movie, and Ning Hao's grasp of humor rarely appears in Hong Kong movies. ”
Huang Jianxin said that "Stone" is a very smart film, and what is needed to be smart is wisdom and years of accumulation, Ning Hao has a very good ability to control details, and the French New Wave, Italian Neorealism and Quentin's noir films are all reflected here, and the director has moved this contemporary popular collage art method very well.
"Then let's ask the main creative team to say a slogan, Ning Hao, you come first!"
Ning Hao hesitated for a long time before he said: "This is, this is a very interesting movie, I hope everyone can feel its charm with their hearts." ’
'This is really a really good movie!'
'I hope you will support...'
When he arrived at Lu Xiaoran, he took the microphone and looked at the audience: "I hope everyone will promote it more, try to let friends come to the cinema to support it, there are not many comedy movies that can be watched in China, I estimate that there will be no comedy movies more than "Stone" this year, I hope everyone will buy more tickets to support, the box office is the most correct way to support a good movie!"
It is clear that this phrase was taught to him by the husky...
This year's situation is a bit special, Feng Xiaogang has just tinkered with "Night Banquet", which means that there are really not many comedy movies on the market that can be watched...
At the same time, the Hollywood blockbuster "Superman Returns" was released...
If you say a thousand things and ten thousand, if no one buys a ticket, it's not a good movie!
