(brazenly asking for a monthly pass)

"Here we are. ”

Du An opened the door and welcomed Ning Hao in, glanced at him dressed up, and was a little speechless: "If it weren't for the fact that I didn't have a daughter, I really doubt that you would have come to see my father-in-law." ”

Ning Hao carried a bag on his back, and he was carrying two bags of things in his hand, judging from the packaging, they were all food.

Ning Hao smiled, put down his things, changed his shoes and walked in, and said as he walked: "It's all Mongolian specialties, milk tofu and milk skin beef jerky, it's very authentic, you can't buy it in the mainland, and I brought it directly from Mongolia." ”

Duane nodded, and even took it.

This is the first time the two have met since the cooperation of "Pretty Woman", and Ning Hao is also here for the first time, so after coming in and looking at the indoor environment, he praised: "Director Du, your place is really good, how much did you buy it?"

"The average price is more than 5,000, and the second-hand houses bought directly with decoration are more than 1 million. ”

Ning Hao sighed after hearing this, "Nanyang's house is really cheap, in Beijin, the average price of a house in such a location is tens of thousands." ”

The two chatted for a while, and the soup was ready, and Du An beckoned Ning Hao to come over and sit down to eat.

After Ning Hao praised Duan's cooking skills for a few more words, Duane asked, "What have you been busy with lately?"

"It's a movie, it's called "Green Meadows,"

Ning Hao stuffed a chopstick beef tenderloin in his mouth, his speech was indistinct, and he finally swallowed the thing before he continued: "It was all filmed in Inner Mongolia, that place is too bitter, and there are many conditions, and the crew almost didn't disband." ”

"Let's take the beginning, before the start, I asked a prop master to go to the location to support the yurt to do the scenery, but the investor's side had a problem with the funds, and then I have been tossing about the funds, and finally gritted my teeth with the producer to make some money, and finally solved the problem of funds, but forgot about the props, and when we finally remembered that he was looking for the past. ”

Speaking of this, Ning Hao's face was both self-blaming and funny, "I saw him standing on top of a bucket from afar, looking forward to it, and the first thing he said when he met was, 'Director.'" I want to go home'. ”

"In that place in Inner Mongolia, the signal is too poor, and you may not be able to find a mobile phone signal after walking dozens of miles, if he didn't happen to bring a box of instant noodles, or if a sheep herder happened to find him. Bring him water every day, maybe he will really die. ”

Speaking of this, the smile on Ning Hao's face disappeared, and he sighed, "It's not easy to make a movie." ”

Duane chimed in: "Who's to say it isn't." ”

Both of them are directors and have a lot of common topics, and after thinking about it for a while, Du An saw that Ning Hao still didn't say what he meant, so he had to speak himself, "You came to me this time." Something's wrong?"

Ning Hao stopped eating, wiped his mouth, and said "um", "I have a book here, I want to shoot it, but I can't find an investor." ”

Duane also put down his chopsticks, "Show me the notebook." ”

Hearing that Ning Hao had been talking about making a movie just now, he had a little bit of a count in his heart, and now that he looks at it, it is indeed the case.

Ning Hao took out a script from the bag that was placed aside and handed it over. Duane reached out and took it, browsing it.

Unlike when he writes scripts, he likes to be detailed to every point and every sentence, this book is quite rough, but the general story can still be seen: this is a story about a thief. A handicraft factory found a priceless piece of jadeite when it overthrew an old factory. Unexpectedly, the international thieves and the local thief organization have set their sights on the jadeite, and after some open and secret fighting, the jadeite is returned to its original owner, and the bad guys will not end well.

It's a decent story in general.,But a few plots in the book give Duane a pretty good feeling.,Coincidence and bizarre.。 Surprising and reasonable, if the director controls it well, it should be a good commercial movie.

As for Ning Hao's ability, he also knows it, after all, the two of them have collaborated on a "Pretty Woman", most of the shots in it are executed by Ning Hao on the spot, and the director's directing ability is still good. After the two films "Incense" and "Green Meadow", combined with the experiences that Ning Hao just said, I believe that he has enough experience in directing a film independently, and I believe that he will coordinate the scene well

The latter point, that is, Ning Hao's directing ability, is what Du An values the most, after all, good books are often available, but good directors are not often available.

"This story actually existed in 2000,"

When he was reading the script, Ning Hao also added on the side, "I have always had such an idea, but I always feel that it is not very mature, and the story has been changing." Now that I've made two movies, I feel like I'm ready in every way, so I took out this book again. ”

"Pretty good,"

Duane put down the script and after considering his assets, he already had a decision in his heart. After glancing at Ning Hao, he asked, "If it doesn't work on my side, what are you going to do?"

Ning Hao looked at Du An, but in addition to being a director, Du An is also an actor, he couldn't see the slightest clue from Du An's face, so he had to say: "If it doesn't work, I plan to find Liu Dehua." He is now working on an Asian rising star director program, which specializes in supporting new directors in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and may be able to ask for investment from him. ”

After listening to this, Du An nodded, and after pushing the book back to Ning Hao, he said, "Okay, then you don't have to go to him, I'll vote." ”

"Really?!"

Ning Hao was overjoyed, and a little incredulous: This is it?

Du An looked at Ning Hao's expression, and somewhat thought of when he first filmed "Chainsaw".

After Fang Limin decisively agreed to invest, he was probably in the same mood at that time, the only difference was probably that Ning Hao's joy came from finally finding an investor willing to shoot his film, and his joy at that time came from finally being able to cheat money.

"Of course it's true. ”

Duane repeated it and made some of his own requests, "But your book is still too rough, it's better to find a few more screenwriters to fix it." ”

After the two discussed the amount of investment and the points that need to be paid attention to in this movie, the project was preliminarily determined. As for the name, he is not in a hurry, leaving it to Ning Hao to decide slowly, Du An did not advocate imposing a name on himself, he is really not confident in his ability to choose a name, I think I almost called "Terminator" "ManMachine" "ManMachine" at the beginning, now that I think about it, the name "HumanMachine" is really enough.

After the two finished eating and chatting for a while, Ning Hao said goodbye, and after Du An cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, he also returned to the study to surf the Internet.

In the eyes of many people, "Flying Over the Madhouse" is very likely to usher in an outbreak on May 1 and defeat the obvious decline of "Seven Swords", but what I didn't expect was that "Seven Swords" continued to rise at the box office on the first day of May Day with the reputation of Xu Laowei, and "Flying Over the Madhouse" slowed down after the outbreak of the previous day.

So in the first round of this old and new May Day war, the veteran director Xu Kesheng was born.

The box office of these two movies is too weird, and the media now dare not speculate about who will win in the next Golden Week, so they have to focus on the market of this year's May Day.

On May 1, the two highest-grossing movies were "Seven Swords" and "One Flew Over the Asylum", but neither movie could exceed 100 million in a single day, which was the first time in the May Day file in the past three years Throughout the past two years, at least one movie will have a single-day box office of more than 100 million yuan in the May Day file every year. If you observe today's market, you will also find that the total single-day box office of Chinese films is also a year-on-year decline compared with last year, which makes people exclaim that the magic of May 1st is no longer there, and filmmakers need to be cautious in choosing the release date.

Some media also analyzed the reasons, saying that with the rapid development of the economy, more and more audiences have chosen to travel on May Day, and the tourism market has snatched the share of the film market, which can be seen from the number of outbound tourists during this year's May Day holiday.

But no matter how you analyze it, those who should go to the movies will still go to watch it, and there are still six days left today during Golden Week, "Seven Swords" and "One Flew Over the Asylum" will still continue to move forward on the way to compete for the top spot in the box office charts.

Duane opened Douban, entered the page of "One Flew Over the Asylum", and looked at the evaluation score.

9。 2。

After three days of movie-watching craze, a large number of viewers poured into Douban for scoring, and the 9 before this movie. A high score of 5 is finally no longer maintainable.

But 9. A score of 2 is already quite high.

Duane casually pulled down the page, browsed through the new comment posts, looked at it, and his thoughts quickly flew out and flew to the box office of "One Flew Over the Asylum": In fact, now "One Flew Over the Asylum" and "Seven Swords" are biting very tightly at the box office, and the gap is not big, maybe as long as a little more help, it can be surpassed, but the previous publicity work has done everything in all aspects, and this is the last straw that broke the camel's back, and I really don't know where to look for it.

He thought as he casually tugged at the comment posts, his eyes wandering over them.

Suddenly, his eyes froze, fixed on a name.

"Farewell My Concubine".

This comment post is rated 9, thinking that "One Flew Over the Asylum" is very good, but it is still a little worse than "Farewell My Concubine".

Farewell My Concubine, Farewell My Concubine......

Duane remembers that "Farewell My Concubine" seems to be 9. 2 points, he vaguely seemed to find some ideas.

He typed the name of "Farewell My Concubine" into the search bar and entered the relevant page.

This classic masterpiece of Director Chen has received rave reviews, and the following comment posts all praise it as a masterpiece, and the evaluation score on Douban is 9. 4 It seems that he remembered misremembered.

The number is better, though.

This is a very delicate number, which is 0 lower than the rating number on the first day of "One Flew Over the Asylum". 1 point, but it's 0 higher than the current rating number for "One Flew Over the Asylum". 2 points.

Duane looked at this number, was silent for a long time, his brain was running rapidly, and finally raised his hands and bowed to the cover stills of "Farewell My Concubine".
