Chapter 255: The aggrieved Ning Xiaohao
“…… Even if the external form of "Bullfight" is indeed very unflattering, and it is difficult to attract audiences to the cinema, which is a premise that film directors need to seriously consider when making the same type of film, but in terms of the final effect, it has its own content as an independent niche film. That is, if you look at it, you will get something, whether it is feelings or thoughts. It should be a ...... success."
"Bullfighting" is not a simple anti-Japanese war drama, more of a deep exploration of human nature, the story of a man and a Dutch cow, reflecting not only the heavy responsibility of protecting this head, but also how a person can keep a promise and a ......responsibility between life and death."
The premiere of "Bullfight" can be said to be a success, but it can also be said to be very average.
The success is due to the media's great respect for this film, and once it was screened, the media praised it, and some media claimed that "Wang Bo's acting skills in "Bullfight" are enough for him to win an actor trophy. ”
In general, its performance at the box office lost the style of the sea of stars that always swept the box office, and only won a single-day box office of 9.8 million.
The box office on the second day was only able to break 10 million, only 10.8 million, which is not a big increase.
For this movie, the outside world speculates that breaking 100 million is already a "demonic" level performance.
The film that broke 100 million yuan is a street hit for the sea of stars, but the whole group of "Bullfighting" has begun to celebrate.
This film didn't 'run to the box office' from the beginning, and it was already unexpectedly for them to make a little money on top of the cost recovery.
Wang Bo is also looking forward to the upcoming Golden Rooster Awards.
Compared with the success of "Bullfighting", Ning Xiaohao is very aggrieved.
He was stimulated by Wang Baobao and Wang Xiaobai, and decided to break into the water of literary films, looking forward to relying on "No Man's Land" to brush up on the award, but a group of people ate sand in the northwest for a few months, and happily made post-production, ready to come out after "Bullfight", who knew that at this time, a basin of cold water was poured directly on the head.
In Wang Xiaobai's office, Ning Xiaohao looked bitter and hateful, just like the little daughter-in-law who was wronged and went back to her parents' house to complain, she kept scolding: "Damn, those people are a group of fools, let them revise it, but the revision opinions are so general......"
As he spoke, he took out the review opinion of the Radio and Television Bureau on "No Man's Land", typed the words on it, and said: "'This film does not conform to the core values, it is recommended to revise it before approving it...... "Look, is this what people say? What are core values? Give me a perfect explanation!"
Listening to Ning Xiaohao's complaints like a resentful woman, Wang Xiaobai's head was big for a while.
Before the filming of "No Man's Land" started, Ning Xiaohao showed him the script.
At that time, he said that it would be difficult to pass the trial according to his shooting method.
But he didn't believe in evil, so he had to gamble.
Well, now you know the consequences, right?
He handed a cigarette to Ning Xiaohao, and Ning Xiaohao took it indignantly.
He took a puff of his cigarette and said sadly, "Boss, it's up to you to do this." ”
"Rely on me?" Wang Xiaobai's head is big, your film is so big, how can I help you?
There are ten characters with names and surnames in the whole film, either illegal hunters or black oil dealers, the male protagonist is a black-hearted lawyer who recognizes money but not people, and the female protagonist is a poor person who has been abducted and trafficked on the surface, but she is also full of lies.
This kind of film, you will only have a ghost after you have passed the trial.
Wang Xiaobai spread his hands and said, "Don't put a high hat on me, the Radio and Television Bureau is not my father." ”
"The film can't be put in the library to be ashes, right?" Ning Xiaohao was not convinced.
Wang Xiaobai also had a headache.
Although the investment in this movie is not large, no matter how small it is, it is all money, and it is all earned by Lao Tzu every penny.
"Let's change it first. I'll also ask Wenya to walk you around and see if you can be accommodating. Wang Xiaobai's head was big for a while.
"I'm not afraid of changing, it's just that I worked hard to make a movie made by a group of people, and that group of grandchildren ......," Ning Xiaohao said indignantly.
"Stop!" Wang Xiaobai glared, and he had to complain for two sentences, and if he continued to scold, would I still write this book?
Ning Xiaohao also knew the severity, swallowed this breath, and then took out two more notebooks and said, "Boss, these are the two new notebooks I wrote, you can take a look." ”
Wang Xiaobai opened it and took a look, but before he read the content, he had a little headache just by looking at the name.
A "Stone" made Ning Xiaohao completely popular in the domestic director circle, and the dividends of "Stone" made him feel like he was holding on, and now he is thinking about a sequel.
However, in order to respect Ning Xiaohao, Wang Xiaobai did not veto him on the spot, but still looked at the book seriously.
The first book is called "Crazy Racing",Continuation of the routine of "Crazy Stone",The script is high-quality,Full of jokes,Overall it's not bad.。
But for Ning Xiaohao, it is a bit of a habit to eat the old book.
Ning Xiaohao is a director that Wang Xiaobai values very much, his potential is greater than that of Murong Yanliang, and he is also very thoughtful, but he just wants to eat his old book, which is a bit of a headache.
It's the second book that makes Wang Xiaobai more optimistic, called "Heart Flower Road", which is a road movie.
After looking at it roughly, Wang Xiaobai said: "Which of these two books do you prefer?"
Although Wang Xiaobai is very reluctant to see Ning Xiaohao eat his old book, if he insists on filming "Crazy Racing", Wang Xiaobai is willing to support him. It's just that in his heart, he still hopes that Ning Xiaohao can change.
""Racing" is the routine I am most familiar with, and it is not difficult to shoot, but in comparison, I think "Heart Flower Road" is more challenging, and I haven't made a road movie yet. Ning Xiaohao said.
Wang Xiaobai said: "Then give priority to "Heart Flower Road", "Racing", in fact, there is no need......"
Hearing that Wang Xiaobai was about to give up "Racing", Ning Xiaohao was a little anxious and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Wang Xiaobai.
Wang Xiaobai said: "It's not that I don't want to cast this film, I also believe, 'With your strength, give you excellent actors, you can make a very good movie.'" However, I don't want to see an excellent director in China be named 'eating the old book' by the media. Not only is this a waste of your talent, but it will also make people label you. ”
Labeling is a good thing in the entertainment industry, but it is also a bad thing.
Because once you want to jump out of the familiar environment one day, it will make people instinctively question.
Ning Xiaohao thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you, and I'll shoot "Heart Flower Road". After a pause, Ning Xiaohao suddenly said, "But I will tell you something first." ”
"What?"
"This book was actually made by Beijing Film Studio, I originally planned to find two companies to shoot together, but now our company doesn't have this will, what should Beijing Film Studio do?" Ning Xiaohao said.
"Let's apologize to them and work together next time. Wang Xiaobai said.
"Okay, I'll talk to them. Ning Xiaohao nodded.
"Actor, who do you want to find?" Wang Xiaobai said.
"Just Brother Bo and Yu Shan, this time I cooperated with them in "No Man's Land" quite well. Ning Xiaohao said.
"Okay, then you can communicate on your own. ”
