Chapter 879: Set a benchmark

In the previous life, someone commented that Huang Bo was a "three-no" product - that is, no height, no appearance, and no muscles. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, it was already a choppy and long-legged entertainment industry, and Huang Bo was indeed a wonder.

Some people say that if you are ugly, you should study more, and don't go into the entertainment industry where there are many handsome men and beautiful women, but Huang Bo is not - Huang Bo, who was born in an intellectual family and grew up in an agency compound, did not grow up as his parents hoped at all, just because his dream was to be a singer, not to study hard, to enter a university, and enter an institution.

When he was in middle school, Huang Bo often sang in bars and song halls with a few like-minded children, and became a representative of authentic bad children in everyone's eyes.

Huang Bo didn't care about this, and was still chasing his dream of being a singer.

Huang Bo not only sings well, but also has a good hand at creating an atmosphere on stage, the good boy brought back one award after another from the school, and the bad boy Huang Bo also won one award after another because of his talent for singing and creating an atmosphere -- certificates of merit in various singing competitions.

Singing in a nightclub once allowed Huang Bo to earn the first fifteen yuan in his life, which undoubtedly strengthened Huang Bo's determination to become a singer in the future.

In the early 90s, Huang Bo, who graduated from secondary school, went south to Guangzhou and signed a contract with "Pacific Records", wanting to show his skills and show his ambitions.

Mao Ningning and Yang Gangli, who were at the same time as Huang Bo, were made into golden boys and girls by DreamWorks Records, and they were known to women and children all over the country, but Huang Bo at that time didn't even have the opportunity to sing on stage.

There is no other reason, it is because Huang Bo is too frustrated.

The road to signing a record company was impassable, so Huang Bo could only return to Qingdao and form a "Blue Wind and Sand" group by himself, and then traveled to most of China.

It's a pity -

As the name suggests, the blue wind blows the sand like a storm blowing, the dust settles and the ashes disappear, even if Huang Bo and the others sing in nightclubs at night, riding around on a broken bicycle during the day to sell their recordings harder than anyone else.

If Xu Cun didn't appear, Huang Bo's blue wind and sand would dissolve immediately, and then Huang Bo and Xiao Ou came together like in the previous life and stayed in Beijing to continue to sing and promote Huang Bo's own recorded records, and at the same time looked at Zhou Xun, Man Wenjun, Zero Point Band, Sha Baoliang and others who ran the field at the same time as Huang Bo, they were on fire, out of breath, up and down for a few reincarnations, and Huang Bo was still nothing.

Sometimes life is really like that – if you don't try hard, you never know what despair tastes like.

Only at that time can Huang Bo, a hard-working young man, recognize that he is a joke in the eyes of most normal people, and then completely give up the music he likes to teach dancing and go to the sea to do business.

Although Huang Bo is now physically and mentally exhausted, he has not yet completely given up his music dream.

Of course, although Huang Bo is still dreaming of music, he will not stupidly give up the performance opportunity Xu Cun gave him because of this -- you must know that there are many stars in the development of film and television songs in Hong Kong and Taiwan, why can't he Huang Bo also develop in film and television songs? Huang Bo can even think that when he becomes a famous movie star and comes back to sing again, others will never ignore him so much again.

Let's go back to Xu Cun.

A long time ago, there have been two voices in the mainland:

The first voice is that Xu Cun has forgotten how to make a low-budget film, and will only shoot those big productions that cost hundreds of millions, billions or even nearly tens of billions.

The second voice is, since Xu Cun can go to Japan and South Korea, and use Japanese and Koreans to make a movie for Japanese and Koreans, why can't he use a mainland to make a movie for mainlanders?

With Xu Cun's current identity, he can naturally ignore these voices.

But-

Xu Cun still enjoys the process of making movies very much in his bones.

In addition, Xu Cun happened to meet Huang Bo again.

So, Xu Cun naturally remembered a very good comedy in his previous life - "Crazy Stone".

In any respect, "Crazy Stone" is the best comedy film in the mainland in the last century, and even if you count the Xiangjiang movies in its heyday, "Crazy Stone" will definitely be ranked among the top five best comedy movies in China.

The only thing that has been criticized about "Crazy Stone" in the previous life is that it used the routine of the British comedy movie "Two Big Smoking Guns", which is undoubtedly suspected of Ning Hao picking up Guy Ritchie's tooth wisdom.

Actually-

This is nothing, after all, the vast majority of Chinese have never seen "Two Big Smoking Guns", so this does not affect Chinese's love for "Crazy Stone" at all.

But-

This is only in China, once "Crazy Stone" is put on the international stage, then because it uses the routine of "Two Big Smoking Guns", it will inevitably lose some points.

But then again, even so, "Crazy Stone" also won many film awards including the Best Original Screenplay Award at the Golden Horse Award for Taiwan Film.

This shows how successful the comedy movie "Crazy Stone" is.

Moreover, the previous "Crazy Stone" shined a big light on the dark Chinese low-cost film market, and it can even be said that the significance of "Crazy Stone" to the Chinese film industry is definitely greater than its own value - "Crazy Stone" is a purely entertainment commercial film, it does not want to express any overly profound themes, just to simply entertain the audience. In contrast, mainland films have long been quite uninteresting, and most mainland filmmakers have been complacent, and most mainland filmmakers believe that artistic quality is the only criterion for films, thus greatly ignoring the industrial characteristics of films. If an industry wants to develop vigorously, it must have enough interests to follow, that is to say, all the people engaged in it must make money and make a lot of money, so that more and more people will engage in it, just like the Xiangjiang movies before this.

Xu Cun is ready to use "Crazy Stone" to teach mainland filmmakers how to make movies that meet the audience's taste, and how to exchange low costs for huge returns.

In other words, Xu Cun is ready to set a benchmark for commercial films in the mainland.

In addition, unlike Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone", "Two Big Smoking Guns" has to wait until ninety-eight years to come out, and now it is only ninety-three years, Guy Ritchie may not have the concept of "Two Big Smoking Guns" in his mind, and even if Guy Ritchie already has the concept of "Two Big Smoking Guns" in his head, and he can shoot "Two Big Smoking Guns" like the previous life, then in the future, it will be Guy Ritchie's "Two Big Smoking Guns" plagiarized and borrowed from the world's No. 1 director Xu Cun's "Crazy Stone", rather than Xu Cun plagiarizing and borrowing from Guy Ritchie.

Therefore, Xu Cun quickly made up his mind to direct "Crazy Stone" himself!
