Black comedy is naturally not Ning Hao's original. But before that, there was indeed no corresponding film genre in China.

So apart from Ning Hao, has anyone succeeded in black comedy?

Some.

This person is Yang Qing.

Especially this first film by Yang Qing.

"Nightclub".

At first glance, this name seems to be easy to associate with what is glamorous, what crazy demons are dancing, what is pornography, gambling and drugs, and so on.

But in reality, it's really just literal.

A shop that is open "at night".

A supermarket, to be exact.

This story has become a standard in many rebirth entertainments.

Because it's so simple.

There are only two scenes in the whole film.

One is the supermarket that is the main body.

One is outside the door of the supermarket.

Nothing else.

Strictly speaking, this movie has a lot of bugs.

But......

It's a very good work.

At least there will be no such thing as scratching your armpits forcefully that makes people laugh.

And there aren't too many, pee, and fart stalks.

It's really just a story about a 24-hour supermarket that happened in one night.

The scene is simple, the characters are not complicated, plus all the personnel, there are only ten people in total.

But there's a problem with the play now.

That is, there is no money to shoot.

Yang Qing found many people.

But when many people saw Yang Qing, they were not interested.

The reason is very simple, as a director, Yang Qing does not have any "qualifications" that he can get his hands on.

And he used to make TV series.

There was no experience of making movies at all.

Previously, because of the news of Mao Yizui's "Love Apartment", Yang Qing's eyes lit up.

Mao Yizui said that "Love Apartment" is nothing, but the actor of "Love Apartment" is Chen Kaige's nephew!

It also means that Mao Yi and the Beijing circle have irreconcilable contradictions!

And coincidentally, when Yang Qing went to Beijing with a notebook before, he was humiliated.

If there is no Mao Yi, then Yang Qing will most likely go to Shanzheng.

Then he was recommended by Shan Zheng to Orange Sky and China Film's "Young Director Program".

This is where later movies appeared.

And for the smooth filming of this movie, Shan Zheng and the heroine Li Xiaolu both lowered their salaries.

Generally speaking, artists in the entertainment industry rarely drop their salaries.

Because that leads to a series of bad follow-ups.

It will directly lead to resistance from you as a person.

However, this model, which is similar to the "Young Directors Program", is different in another aspect.

Because he has caught the tiger skin of Zhongying, as long as he keeps a low profile, it is not a problem.

Now, Yang Qing took this book and came to find Mao Yi.

The reason why Yang Qing didn't go to iQiyi was because he wanted to land this drama in theaters.

And not a video site.

In recent years, online movies are still an unpopular project.

In fact, after the development of the Internet University for a long time, there is still no improvement.

Those who are qualified have gone to the theater, and those who are not qualified have no one to watch.

But good works shine everywhere.

Mao Yi met with Yang Qing.

However, Mao Yi just smiled at Yang Qing's move to sell dramas.

This drama ......

can only be filmed by Yang Qing.

It's not that there's no one left, it's just that ......

This is Yang Qing's play, and only he knows the script best.

I looked at the rough script and corresponded to the scattered fragments in my memory......

Somewhat inexplicable.

However, Mao Yi was not surprised.

This script still looks good.

"Who are you going to look for?" asked Mao Yi with a smile.

"The actor He Sanshui, I plan to fight for the mountains. Yang Qing looked at Mao Yi and said seriously.

Nodding, Mao Yi was not surprised.

Shanzheng is indeed the most suitable candidate.

"Heroine ......" Yang Qing glanced at Mao Yi and said with some embarrassment: "I want to find Yaya." ”

Mao Yi smiled.

And he said.

It's a good play, why did Yang Qing have to come to him directly.

I see.

Seeing Mao Yi laughing, Yang Qing hurriedly said: "Of course, it would be better if Mr. Mao was willing to play Li Junwei." ”

Mao Yi couldn't cry or laugh.

Co-authored waiting for him here?

Smiling, Mao Yi nodded, and said casually: "Yes, but you have to sign a contract with Bilibili, don't worry, the salary or something, I won't treat you badly." ”

Yang Qingxi raised his eyebrows.

Directly laughed and shouted: "Boss!"

To be honest, Yang Qing actually doesn't look down on Bilibili.

After all, Bilibili has not achieved much in movies.

But things can't be seen that way.

Bilibili has made no achievements in movies, which leads to the fact that in the next few years, he will be the only film director of Bilibili!

Such a company with complete experience in film and television drama production, but has not yet entered the film industry, is naturally the best choice for newcomers like Yang Qing.

"Yes. Mao Yi smiled and said casually: "How much do you plan to cost then?"

"I've calculated this play, because there is only one supermarket, so I ......" Looking at Mao Yi, Yang Qing said tentatively: "I want two and a half million." ”

"No, I can't. Shaking his head, Mao Yi refused directly.

Yang Qing was a little disappointed, but he was already mentally prepared, and asked tentatively again, "The two million?"

"Hehe, I'll give you five million. Mao Yi said with a smile.

Yang Qing was so shocked that he almost jumped up!

A newcomer, make a movie for five million!

And it's an extremely simple scene like this!

Yang Qing felt that his heart was almost jumping out.

But then, he calmed down and waited patiently for Mao Yi's conditions.

Because he knows that given so much money, Mao Yi definitely has a plan!

"I can give you five million, but you need the box office to at least be able to return the cost!" Mao Yi said with a smile.

Yang Qing was a little embarrassed.

To be honest, although he believes that his script can recover the cost, if he wants to pay back the cost of five million, he needs fifteen million box office!

This is obviously too embarrassing for Yang Qing.

"The owner...... So what if I don't finish it?" After counting the shots or something, Yang Qing suddenly found that his script was ...... Even if it survives, the cost will be up to three million.

This is still because of the mountain dispute.

Or not even lower.

It's the truth.

Don't look at Shan Zheng as a popular actor, but ......

In the film industry, his salary is only more than one million.

It's higher, it's only two million.

And then there was no then.

Mao Yi is the boss, an investor, and does not need to be paid.

Yaya is Mao Yi's girlfriend, even if she is paid, it will be tens of thousands of yuan at most.

After all, Yaya is a complete newcomer to the movie.

The remaining actors or something, the sum will not exceed 200,000.

And that's counting the later stages or something.

Then there is the supermarket of the main scene.

Because it's a night play, there's no need to delay the opening of the supermarket.

Basically, the price is not much.

Spend 200 yuan a day to die.

In a month, it was only six thousand.

Even if you add some loss, 10,000 yuan is enough.

And then the money for police cars, props and uniforms adds up, and it won't exceed 300,000.

Even the predicted car accident scene is only 300,000.

Even if you add electricity, food and drink, three million is enough.
