Chapter 194: Hang a Name
"Crazy Racing? Another crazy work? At this time, Gao Yan also came over to join in the fun and said, Wang Zhengfei's topic made him very interested, although he now has two very blockbuster movies, but he still likes "Crazy Stone" relatively speaking, outsiders don't know, doesn't he know himself?
The main investment in "Immortality" came from Wang Zhengfei, and naturally the main income was also given to Wang Zhengfei, although their income at that time also made the company's assets more than doubled, but considering how big a company Xingchen Entertainment was at that time, doubling it was not a problem at all, but this time "Crazy Stone" made the company's total assets increase five or six times in a row, which can be said to be a lot of money, naturally at this time, he hopes that Wang Zhengfei can still have good ideas.
"Crazy, another crazy work!" Wang Zhengfei smiled and looked at Gao Yan, whose face remained unchanged, and said, his alcohol consumption is not very good, and it shows on his face after drinking some of it, but Gao Yan's alcohol consumption is much stronger than him, even if it is not as exaggerated as his claim that he is not drunk in a thousand glasses, but it is definitely exercised on the wine table.
"Is it a sequel to Crazy Stone?" Ning Hao's eyes lit up and said.
"yes, is it a sequel?" Gao Yan said, although I talked to Wang Zhengfei before, I also talked about it, Wang Zhengfei's attitude towards the sequel is quite bad, in Wang Zhengfei's opinion, most of the sequels are dog-tailed mink sequels, basically the core idea is just four words, cheating money, but smashed the signboard of the first part.
Of course, there are better sequels, such as the "Lord of the Rings" series, "Star Wars series", etc., although they look like a lot, but compared with the huge number of movies, they are rare, so unless Wang Zhengfei himself is very sure, he will not touch this sequel.
At this time, several other main creators also paid attention to it, and they also knew that "Crazy Stone" could achieve today's achievements, Wang Zhengfei was definitely indispensable, and they all looked forward to being able to follow Wang Zhengfei to create brilliance, as for why they didn't follow Ning Hao, it was very simple, it was this script that made Ning Hao popular, not Ning Hao who made the script popular, how could they not understand such a simple and clear relationship.
"Not a sequel! This is a reading story! Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
"In my opinion, Crazy Racing is neither a sequel to Crazy Stone, nor a certain series, it should be a completely new story!" Wang Zhengfei said with a little alcohol.
In fact, the appearance of "Crazy Racing", which Wang Zhengfei knew in his previous life, did not go well, and after a few years of brewing, Ning Hao, who made another move, faced the embarrassing situation of the screenwriter of the script starting anew.
With the popularity of "Crazy Stone", although the public only knows a few leading actors such as Huang Bo and Ning Hao, but for industry insiders, a group of main creators, including screenwriters, have also become the sweethearts of the industry.
At this time, the screenwriter who was also ambitious began to pull a group of people to shoot "Crazy Wedding", trying to compete with Ning Hao, and finally it turned out that Ning Hao's talent is not comparable to anyone, even if he has a crazy name, it is useless to use the name of a crazy series.
In fact, both sides don't admit that they have anything to do with "Crazy Stone", the screenwriter wants to follow the name of "Crazy Stone" to make a way out in the Chinese film industry, but he wants to get rid of Ning Hao's influence, and Ning Hao is actually not much worse, and wants to use the appeal of "Crazy Stone", but he doesn't want to be surnamed.
However, in the end, "Crazy Racing" still reflects Ning Hao's extraordinary talent, and Ning Hao became the fourth member of the 100 million yuan director club in China after Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang with "Crazy Racing", and "Crazy Wedding" completely sank.
However, there is no such problem now, because the script is exclusively provided by Wang Zhengfei, so there is no screenwriter group, and naturally there is no disagreement among later generations.
Wang Zhengfei smiled and told the story to everyone, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, especially Ning Hao, as soon as I heard such a story, it was an upgraded version of the movie "Crazy Stone", especially this kind of ring-by-ring narrative method, which was simply a comprehensive transcendence of this narrative style, and the core props that were chased here changed from one to two - cash and drugs, and two murders ran through it, around this, more than a dozen characters of the six forces were entangled together, It's not just the chase around the main plot, but also the side plots where any two forces push each other, and the amount of information is huge.
Now Chinese movies are becoming more and more hysterical, more and more like a big gamble, investors are keen on the operation of big capital, and use money to pile up blockbusters with gold and jade to earn eyeballs, if someone takes a movie script with an investment scale of 20 million, it is difficult to find investment, because such a movie has no selling point in the eyes of investors, what they need is big scenes, big stars and all kinds of gimmicks that can be speculated, so it is easier to find money for movies with hundreds of millions of investment scales, in their opinion, The audience does not go to the cinema a few times a year, they will definitely choose the biggest film to watch, and the others can watch pirated copies at home. So it's very important to be able to make blockbuster films, often such movies can shoot three or four "Crazy Stones" only for the publicity cost, no way, as long as the audience is fooled into the cinema, get the box office in hand, and ensure that I don't lose money, as for whether the actual situation of this movie is as fanciful as I said before, then it's not a problem for me to consider, anyway, this is a group of viewers who don't remember to eat, even if you are depressed this time, next time I change the venue and shout again, you still have to pay obediently. Since the box office of the movie is flickering, why should I bother to polish the quality of the movie itself? Otherwise, you will shoot a small cost of three or five million, and if it doesn't work in the end, you will sell it directly to the movie channel, and then sell some DVDs.
In this case, everyone doesn't want to shoot well, they just want to cheat money, so why do you shout that there is no screenwriter in China, and Mu has good ideas, but killing him does not improve the status of screenwriters.
Does China Wood have a good screenwriter? Of course there is, otherwise how can there be an endless stream of good ideas, it's just that they haven't been taken seriously before, China doesn't have good ideas, of course it's impossible, let's just say that the novels that Wang Zhengfei used to read at the starting point, except for most of the garbage novels, how many high-quality novels if they are adapted into movies or TV series, they are definitely much stronger than those garbage TV series and movies on the market.
But someone does it, someone does it, someone does it! Even if there is, I still choose the kind of novel that has been outdated for a long time a few years ago, a few years may only be a short period of time for the film and television industry, but it is enough for a new generation of online novels!
Regarding the story of "Crazy Racing" told by Wang Zhengfei, Ning Hao said on the spot that he was very optimistic about this story, he wanted to shoot this story, and Gao Yan also said that he was very optimistic.
Wang Zhengfei said a little helplessly: "For the time being, there may be no way, I am going to Taiwan to shoot a TV series now, and I don't have time to complete this work, so if you really want to shoot, you can write this script yourself!" ”
Wang Zhengfei is about to shoot "Mischievous Kiss", and then he will shoot "Qin Shi Mingyue", and then "Snow Leopard", he really can't find time to shoot, and it's a pity that this idea is wasted, so just shoot it for Ning Hao, anyway, it turns out that Ning Hao is the original author of this, and he should be able to shoot it well, and in his previous life, Ning Hao was able to become the fourth member of the 100 million yuan club with "Crazy Racing", which shows his ability.
"But this is your idea!" Ning Hao said with a little hesitation, although this movie is very much in line with his ideas, it can be said to coincide, but if Wang Zhengfei is not available, he doesn't mind continuing to wait for a while, in his previous life, he waited for a few years in order to wait for this good script of "Crazy Racing", which is unimaginable in the eyes of other directors, after the end of "Crazy Stone", Ning Hao has already become famous, but he did not desperately start filming various film and television dramas like many directors to make money or increase his value, but waited for a good script, and sure enough, this wait was not in vain.
"It's okay, I don't have time anyway, I'll write a rough outline when the time comes, and you can continue to add it until it's finished, and then I'll just have a name at the end!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile, they didn't have any fame before, and they urgently needed Wang Zhengfei to make a name for themselves, so they hung his name before the director for publicity, but now their popularity has also come up, it won't work if it goes on like this, the screenwriter is still before the director, this is not the case.
"That's not good, this is your idea, we're just adding it later, and we'll have to put your name in the first place when the time comes!" Ning Hao immediately said.
"Okay!" Wang Zhengfei didn't insist, but agreed!
