Song Zheng was too busy with filming, and after he moved, this was the first time he came to the company, but the various equipment in his office was still very complete. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ning Hao followed Song Zheng in, looked around, and said with a smile: "Okay! It's a bit like the president of a big company!"

"!" Song Zheng scolded with a smile, took a bottle of water and put it in front of Ning Hao, "Tell me! What do you think?"

Ning Hao hesitated, smiled, and directly took out a large stack of bound manuscript paper from the bag he was carrying, and placed it in front of Song Zheng: "All the ideas are here!"

Song Zheng was stunned for a moment, daring to love that this grandson was ready for everything, just glanced at the cover, he couldn't help laughing, the three big characters on it were particularly eye-catching, one by one!

Sure enough, this is it!

It seems that after Ning Hao became famous, he was no longer satisfied with making comedies.

Ning Hao's crazy comedy can make people lean forward and backward with laughter, high-five, although there are moments when they can't cry or laugh, hide their faces and ponder, but they can't resist his ridicule and ridicule.

Song Zheng thought that he would go crazy all the time in his life, just like people generally believed in his previous life, thinking that his life trajectory would be the same as that of Wang Jing, the great director of Xiangjiang, but he wanted to use a "No Man's Land" to shatter everyone's prejudices.

When Song Zheng watched "No Man's Land" for the first time in his last life, he was almost scared to death, and thought that it was made up by another person named Ning Hao, if it wasn't for his careful heart and found his face in the movie, he would be ready to bow to the other Ning Hao.

It can be said that "No Man's Land" is a completely different work from Ning Hao's previous works, but it has the same taste, the difference is that he broke the established pattern of the original work with his own hands, and the same thing is that watching "No Man's Land" is also unable to sit still, not "leaning forward and backward", but "fidgeting".

When watching "Crazy Stone" or "Crazy Racing", it can be accurately described as a comedy, but it is a little dark, but "No Man's Land" is a genre that cannot be defined, it has the brutal style of Westerns, the chase and respite of road movies, and the thriller and suspense film.

This genre is a mixture of serious and calm, which may be closely related to the theme of the film.

"No Man's Land" places people in an extremely harsh environment to explore the instinctive manifestations of different people, and the idea of comparing animal instincts with human instincts is extremely profound torture of human nature, which is far more intriguing than the mixture of types.

As far as Song Zheng's own feelings about this movie are concerned, this is a film that people can't forget after watching it, especially the characters in it, who are portrayed with very different personalities, including people like lawyer Pan Xiao, scum like the second falconer, and people like the iron-faced and ruthless boss, as well as a family of three who opened a black shop in the "Night Paris Rest Area" and Jiaojiao who is full of lies.

And the story itself also makes people can't help but have a feeling of traveling, on the one hand, civilization, on the other hand, barbarism, Pan Xiao is a representative of urban people or modern civilization, he longs for socialized survival, one of the signs is - "on the headlines".

For this reason, he did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to the west by plane, train, and horse-drawn carriage, and then defended the boss in disregard of the professional ethics of lawyers, with the aim of changing the title of "new lawyer" to "famous lawyer".

When Pan Xiao drove the boss's red car through the yellow sand wilderness, and then entered the "five hundred miles of no man's land", suits and leather shoes, cars and mobile phones are all signs of modern civilization, and after entering the no man's land, what the movie shows is the ancient era when fierce beasts were rampant.

When modern civilization is faced with the dilemma of survival, where should it go?

First the suit and leather shoes were torn, stained with gasoline and blood, and then the car had a flat tire, a broken light, and a mobile phone had no signal.

When Pan Xiao ripped off the truck driver's beanie hat to wipe the phlegm off the windshield, his posture was still arrogant, and then his glasses were knocked off, the saddle was urinated, and the confrontation between them went back and forth, repeatedly, and it was a confrontation between two civilizations.

The same confrontation also has good and evil, and Ning Hao seems to want to use the movie to consider the expression of good and evil human nature in an extremely harsh environment.

The boss's evil comes from the desire for money, so evil that he doesn't treat people as human beings, he drove a car and crashed into the wall and crushed the black shop proprietress to death, and also killed the stupid son, so it is difficult to treat him as a human being.

Pan Xiao initially gave people the feeling that there is no distinction between right and wrong, and naturally it is evil, but he is extremely helpless to rescue the innocent woman Jiaojiao, he rode on a horse, put GPS on the back of the horse to find a target, he could have walked away, and then returned to the city with a more exciting story "on the headlines", but he didn't, the belief in saving people goes beyond the instinct of survival, and the human instinct should be the reconstruction of the sense of morality.

Driven by a sense of morality, Pan Xiao single-handedly outwitted the falcon traffickers, and his assistant called to urge that the media leaders were there, and he thought he had a bigger case to solve, and then threw away his phone.

He used the discord to fight the three gangsters, and finally died with the boss, realizing his self-worth, the boss once said to Pan Xiao: "You don't know yourself, publishing a book is actually the same as selling eagles", Pan Xiao proved their difference with his death.

This confrontation between civilization and barbarism, the interweaving of good and evil is completely presented in the movie, it can be said that "No Man's Land" is definitely an outlier for Chinese films, from beginning to end, it did not take the mainstream route at all, but instead took the sword, choosing a gray area in the deserted northwest of China, free from the law, creating such a wave of little people with dark personalities and full of bestiality, and made such a black, cold and cold strange genre film that directly hits the dark side of human nature, which is breathtaking and thought-provoking.

For such a work that exposes the sinister hearts of people everywhere, the best bad movie is undoubtedly the most pertinent evaluation of it!

It is indeed a great fortune for fans that China can produce such a work.

First of all, I have to admire Ning Hao, the elements of black humor in the film, which are already handy for him to play, which is very clear from the name of the movie, it is obviously "No Man's Land", but it tells the story of "people and people" in this 500 kilometers of no man's land, from this point of view alone, it is ridiculous enough, or black humor.

Secondly, in such a gray area outside the scope of law, there is a lawyer who claims to represent the authority and seriousness of the law and tries to win this war beyond human nature with his own strength.

This can be called Ning Hao's biggest trick, full of banter and ridicule, which is full of praise.

Ning Hao took out his best housekeeping skills in the movie as early as possible, a grievance entanglement caused by a certain item, the sky-high jade in "Crazy Stone", the tempting and depraved poison in "Crazy Racing", and "No Man's Land" has become the symbol of the eagle falcon that best reflects the director's intentions, and the film also uses the eagle falcon to unfold a series of follow-up incredible stories, but unlike in the past, Ning Hao abandoned the multi-line narrative method he is best at, but became a main line to the end, and showed the story one by one in front of the audience through the omniscient perspective around the protagonist, and it turns out that such an attempt is completely suitable in this film.

Song Zheng still remembers that in his previous life, before the "No Man's Land" was banned for four years, after countless revisions, before it was finally approved for release, there were many controversies surrounding this movie, some people said that this was a road movie, some people said that this was a western, and some people said that this was a noir genre film, but in fact, after watching this movie, the audience will find that this is actually just a movie with a distinct Ning Hao label, but I have to say that the above types are very clearly reflected in this film.

Needless to say, the black element is also very prominent, a large part of the movie itself is completed on the road, and the road element plays a vital role in promoting the development of the plot, whether it is from that fatal spit, or the later collision "death" of the second child.

In addition, the attributes of road movies also limit the narrative structure of this film, and if a multi-line narrative is adopted, it will disrupt the narrative logic of the film, so a single-line narrative is particularly important in road movies.

As for the western elements, the background of the film is set in the no-man's land of northwest China, the desolate Gobi, the vast sand dunes, and a lawyer who symbolizes "justice", which constitutes a western film with unique Chinese characteristics in Ning Hao's heart, but it is different from the heroic image of "Gao Daquan" created in American westerns, Pan Xiao, a lawyer, is a bit bad, and what is even more eye-popping is that all the characters in the film can no longer be called good or bad people in a simple sense.

The protagonist Pan Xiao is a sanctimonious, mercenary, "famous" lawyer like a well-dressed beast, with the purpose of fame and profit, he went to the frontier to eliminate disasters for others, but as everyone knows, after the fact, he almost became the object of the disaster, if it were not for the turmoil caused by a mouthful of spit, he may have already become a ghost under the poacher's gun, and then there was a series of unbelievable stories, it can really be said that life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, no wonder even the poachers sighed sincerely: "You are a bad person!"

And the poacher is the second brother, who can be described as a representative of a typical bad guy, he is greedy and lustful, he does not have the slightest sense of justice in his bones, and all he has in his eyes is survival and interests, he is so bad that people can't help laughing, and he is so bad that people admire it in their hearts, such a bad character similar to "born murderer" is impressive.

As for the dancing girl Jiaojiao who succumbs to obscenity and does not seek to be motivated in order to survive, the cold-blooded and cruel poacher boss, the two vulgar and contemptuous but unlucky truck drivers, the mercenary and unsympathetic family in Paris, the shortcomings of human nature that everyone can imagine in life are in "No Man's Land" In such a small society that is not bound by the law, the nature of human beings who are suppressed by the social system and public opinion is exposed, so in the no man's land, the so-called good and bad that the public talks about on weekdays can no longer be used as the criterion for judging, and Ning Hao's introduction of animal nature is quite critical.

In his previous life, after the release of "No Man's Land", Ning Hao was interviewed by the media, and he also said that this film is more about the collision and competition between human nature and animal nature, which is more of a work that reflects the nature of animals.

The emphasis he mentions at the beginning of the film echoes the theme he wants to express through the mouth of the protagonist Pan Xiao.

In addition, it can also be seen from Ning Hao's setting of each character that all characters can actually be regarded as animals, and in such a land that is not suitable for good survival, only by discarding people's social attributes and preying like beasts can they survive.

But although they are all animals, they are not of the same level, the lawyer Pan Xiao and the dancing girl are the primary consumers in this food chain, they may be strong outside the no-man's land, but here, they can only be slaughtered at will, but the irony is that they are often the ones who survive in the end.

The poachers and the two truck drivers who caused the whole tragedy are secondary consumers at best, bad enough and ruthless enough, but without the protection of the highest creatures, they often die miserably, whether they are shot or hammered to death.

The boss and boss of Night Paris, as the most exclusive consumers at the top of the entire food chain, are in control of everything, and here, they have the final say, whether it is a lighter for 100 yuan or a falcon worth 1 million.

In the cruel and relentless competition of nature, killing is everywhere and silent, just as if no one is killed in a no-man's land without being discovered.

Here, humans can only fight like wild beasts, otherwise, they will be devoured by their own kind, which is more ruthless and cruel than themselves, so in this 500-kilometer-long no-man's land, the contest between human nature and animal nature begins.

In the vast majority of people, human nature has not defeated animal nature after all, and these people have completely reduced to animals like the walking dead and become out-and-out bad people in the eyes of the public.

But in the end, there will be someone who can struggle out of the beast nature and see the brilliance of human nature, although he may have been blinded by the beast nature before, and the lawyer Pan Xiao is such a person. Although he was mercenary before, and tried to destroy the corpse after accidentally hitting someone who "died", and his behavior and character were completely inconsistent with his sacred profession, under various coincidences, he finally did not completely fall into darkness, and met the dancer under "accidental" circumstances, and got a revelation from the dancer, and completed his redemption through the dancer.

In the same way, in the process of getting along with lawyers, the dancer gradually realized the brilliance of human nature, recognized the power of human nature, and finally survived with this power.

The roles of lawyers and dancers are different from other roles set up by Ning Hao, they come from outside the no-man's land, and they have undergone years of "human" education, so although they were once lost after just entering the no-man's land, they were finally able to complete self-redemption by relying on the acquired cognition and learning of human nature.

Although this process of redemption is very painful and even accompanied by sacrifice, they still do it, especially when the protagonist finally realizes that the most essential difference between animals and humans is whether or not to use fire, he has already completed the sublimation from physical to spiritual, and he is no longer the monkey.

Looking at the skyrocketing flames of the explosion of the truck at the end and the scattered RMB, the dancer also completed her spiritual self-sublimation.

So after the release of "No Man's Land" in his previous life, he got the evaluation of "the best bad movie", which Song Zheng agrees with very much, because in this work, there is no longer a so-called good guy image in the past sense, and because the original intention of this work should be to try to redefine the standard of good guys and bad guys.

But it's a pity that due to the restrictions on the theme of the film, Ning Hao still didn't completely shoot his original intention in the end, which made the part where the dancer successfully integrated into society at the end of the film a bit abrupt and a bit mainstream.

But after all, the flaws are not hidden, such a good movie that is almost "bad" to the end is destined to leave the most colorful mark in the history of Chinese film.

Looking at the script of "No Man's Land" that Ning Hao put on the table, Song Zheng's heart was also entangled, he knew that this was a good movie, but he didn't know whether to make it or not.

The lesson of "Blind Well" is still hanging in his head, Song Zheng has to wait for the filming of "Assembly Number" to completely win the understanding of the people above, and now if there is another "No Man's Land", what if the big thunderbolt really falls at that time?

But the huge temptation of this story still made Song Zheng unable to give up, and after hesitating, he still picked up the script and read it.

Seeing this, Ning Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and then introduced his story, it turned out that this story had an idea when he was still in school, when he was filming "Green Meadow", and it has been improved intermittently over the years, and now he finally came up with the finished product.

Song Zheng watched it quickly, but he thought the same, the story presented in the script is still different from the final movie, in the script, the confrontation between good and evil is more intense, and the highlight of human nature is extraordinarily bloody.

In half an hour, Song Zheng finished reading the script, his mind was still very messy, looking at Ning Hao silent for a long time, which made Ning Hao a little nervous, having filmed "Incense", he naturally knew that if this film was filmed completely according to the script, he was afraid that the probability of being killed was 90%.

Song Zheng rubbed his forehead and finally broke the silence: "Brother Hao, what do you think about making such a movie!?"
