Chapter 356: Pushing Too Hard
Although he felt that he had understood Xu Zheng's intentions, Li Mo didn't know how to speak.
There is no doubt that from Ning Hao's completion of the script to his final shooting, something must have happened that made him give up the bloated and protracted story that he originally envisioned, and instead streamlined it and made it more in line with the audience's aesthetics and hobbies......
But the problem is that in Li Mo's opinion, Ning Hao's script is an over-exerting ......
…… Pushing too hard?
Li Mo felt that he seemed to know how to express himself.
There is no doubt that after experiencing the spring breeze of the "Crazy Stone" series, Ning Hao held back his mind to make a film that reflected self-expression.
In the end, he did.
"No Man's Land" is undoubtedly a subversive journey in Ning Hao's directorial career.
It's a pity that although "No Man's Land" is definitely a masterpiece at the film level, in the process ......of submitting the film for review and release, many unexpected situations happened to Ning Hao, and it was these other circumstances that made Ning Hao's originally fiery heart gradually become cold.
…… It is not only the director Ning Hao who has cooled down, but also the pony galloping pictures company that has always supported Ning Hao.
In the days when "No Man's Land" went through twists and turns, but it was never possible to determine the launch time, Ning Hao hurriedly filmed "The Great Gold Robbery" in order to recover the 'impression points' lost in Pony Galloping.
"The Great Gold Robbery" successfully passed the trial and was soon launched, and the actor was still looking for Lei Jiayin just like the original time and space.
When Lei Jiayin took over the movie "The Great Gold Robbery" in this time and space, it was shortly after the launch of "Hypnotic Master" starring him.
At that time, Lei Jiayin was because of the popularity of "Hypnosis Master", and it was when the film appointments continued, if it weren't for Ning Hao playing the brand that Xu Zheng would also participate, Lei Jiayin might not even take this play.
It's a pity that Ning Hao, who has been holding back for three years, and the audience who has been holding back for three years collided together.
On the one hand, there is a director who uses too much force and wants to present a black humor film with a strong 'Ning' style;
On the other hand, there are audiences who have reported strong expectations before the movie is released, eager to enter the cinema and watch a comedy movie similar to the style of "Crazy Stone";
As a result, it is estimated that both sides started sharply, and then ...... In the process of walking in the opposite direction and sprinting face-to-face, I directly missed the ......
It's over......
Finish......
Anyway, the audience who watched "The Great Gold Robbery" can casually complain about N places every minute.
Like what:
How could a bank president in a rich country risk his daughter to escort gold at the risk of his life;
After a series of troubles, how did Guo Tao's Jinbiao Thirteen Lang suddenly transform into a League of Legends-like character at the end of the movie? ;
How did Xiao Dongbei, a gangster, get into the boudoir of the president's daughter, and enter a no-man's land in the governor's mansion......
All in all, it's no surprise that "The Great Gold Heist" pounced.
The investment cost is 50 million, plus the publicity and distribution costs, a total of 70 million, and the final box office of this movie is less than 160 million.
Although the main producer, Pony Galloping, did not say it explicitly, but in the past year or so, the fact that Ning Hao has not received a new job is enough to explain the problem.
According to Xu Zheng's inadvertent revelation just now, Ning Hao had already taken over the job of helping a talent show shoot the top ten promotional MV a few days ago.
also ate in the film and television industry, and after hearing the news, even Li Mo felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
After thinking about the entry point, Li Mo opened his mouth directly: "Director Ning, your work is too detailed. ”
When Ning Hao first heard this, he didn't react a little, and actually smiled and accosted, "Yes, Director Li, you don't know, I'm just used to thinking more about things to prepare for the unexpected when I was preparing at the beginning......
Shaking his head, Li Mo said more directly, "Director Ning, what kind of story do you want to tell? Is it a road comedy, family ethics, black humor, or social issues?"
After listening to Li Mo's question, Ning Hao was obviously stunned, this script was saved by him with the screenwriter he had worked with for many years and his wife Xing Aina, after completing the initial version, several people involved in the creation of the script felt that something seemed wrong, but they didn't know what went wrong.
In fact, even if the script problem is more obvious, the original author is often difficult to see.
Just like in an exam, an outside grader can often see at a glance that the answer is wrong, but the person who answers the question is likely to check it many times and still think that there is no problem......
Li Mo moved his chair to Ning Hao's side, opened the script and began to give general instructions.
At this time, it is very obvious that the advantage of the traverser can be seen.
Although Li Mo doesn't know if Ning Hao's superfluous plots are good, he has the original movie as a reference.
As long as it's something that wasn't in the original movie, it's just a neat one-size-fits-all.
Because the rest time this time was only half an hour, Li Mo only had time to point out the problem, and did not have time to slowly explain to Ning Hao what went wrong.
What Li Mo didn't expect was that his move turned into a completely different explanation in the eyes of others.
In Xu Zheng's opinion, Li Mo could clearly see the problems in the script at a glance, but he didn't want to say directly where the root of Ning Hao's mistakes was, so he just marked out what he thought was the problem, and let Ning Hao figure out the reason himself......
"Brother Zheng, Director Ning, you two sit down for a while, I still have work over there, when I'm done with my work, let's have a good chat after I finish work." ”
Because he had to read Ning Hao's script, Li Mo had to rest for almost a quarter of an hour longer than expected.
After all, this is still the campus of a university, and all the work must be completed before dark, so Li Mo really can't afford to delay.
After handing the script to Ning Hao, Li Mo walked back to the set quickly and beckoned Lu Yang and Mina to continue the follow-up filming process.
After Li Mo left, Ning Hao roughly flipped through the script marked by Li Mo, and it didn't take long for him to suddenly throw the script away, and the whole person sat on the chair, his face full of decadence.
Xu Zheng was taken aback by his startled move, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Is there something wrong with what Li Mo's kid said? I'll teach him a lesson for you." ”
"He's fine, it's with me. The more Ning Hao reads it now, the more he feels that the script he got is so eye-catching, "Just like Li Mo just said, since "No Man's Land", my mentality has actually been unbalanced, I want everything, and I desperately want to prove myself to others, but what is the result?"
"The failure of "The Great Gold Robbery" was actually a wake-up call for me, but instead of waking up, I went further and further down this road......"
Speaking of this, Ning Hao shook his head, "If Li Mo hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have known what the problem was until now." ”
"Lao Ning, what you said is a bit excessive, right?" Xu Zheng looked at Ning Hao with a little surprise, "You have never admitted that you have a problem." ”
"Do you think you're talking about human beings?" Ning Hao replied with a smile, "I'm not a natural saint, haven't I made a mistake yet?"
"Yes, yes, Director Ning Da knows that he can change his mistakes, and he is very good," Xu Zheng waved his hand perfunctorily, motioning for Ning Hao to skip the topic, "Then what are you going to do now?
"No need, I'm just waiting here for Li Mo to call it a day," Ning Hao insisted, "Since he can see my problem at a glance, maybe he will have a way to solve the problem I encountered......"
