Chapter 193: Crazy Racing
In 2005, everyone didn't have to think about which movie was the first popular movie in the Spring Festival, that is, "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Stone" swept away 85 million box office in the 05 Spring Festival, becoming the most box office at that time, even the entire 05 movie box office schedule is very competitive.
And director Ning Hao himself has also become the second domestic first-line appeal director of Xingchen Entertainment after Wang Zhengfei with the box office of 85 million, and has become a hot and popular director nowadays.
You must know that in the whole of China now, there are only three directors of the 100 million yuan club, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige, who are undoubtedly the top directors in the mainland, although Er Ninghao only has a box office of 60 million in the mainland, but it is enough for him to become a first-line director in China.
And Xingchen Entertainment, which has two domestic first-line appealing directors, has finally begun to be valued by the bigwigs in the circle, and generally speaking, if you can have a first-line director, it is already a medium-sized film and television company.
In China, there are a lot of domestic first-line actors, but there are only a few top directors, and all of them are the baby bumps of major companies, and they are unwilling to take them out.
Not to mention Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, the three top directors, even the second first-line directors are pitiful, basically the whole of China is just less than double ten, just a dozen or so people, Xingchen Entertainment has two, and I can't help but let those bigwigs look sideways.
In addition to box office dividends, this time Xingchen Entertainment also has dividends including impression products and peripheral products, which add up to more than 60 million, of which 10 million is directly transferred to Wang Zhengfei's account, that is to say, Wang Zhengfei can use more than 80 million liquidity, and Xingchen Entertainment can use more than 50 million funds for the filming of "Qin Shi Mingyue". Qin Shi Mingyue" at the same time, another movie was being filmed.
Of course, the other one can only be a small-scale movie, otherwise the funds will still be unbearable!
At the end of February, the weather is already getting warmer, especially in the south, and it is no longer as cold as in the north.
The sun's rays on the body appear warm.
Wang Zhengfei dressed up a little and went out, and now he has just experienced a fight, and his image has suddenly been promoted from a villain to a decent person, this rapid change has made him gain more people's love, the most representative of which is that the number of fans on Wang Zhengfei's official website has surged from 500,000 to more than 1 million.
Originally, he needed to go out and dress up, and now he has to dress up, because the weather is gradually getting warmer, Wang Zhengfei is not wearing so thick, and he goes out in a white sportswear.
He went to participate in the celebration banquet of "Crazy Stone", an internal "Crazy Stone" celebration banquet of Star Entertainment, although the celebration banquet of Crazy Stone had been held once when the box office exceeded 50 million before, but it was for the media, and all members of the crew participated, and now it is a small banquet, only for some important members of the interior, some irrelevant characters will not appear, mainly a few leading actors and several main creators, as well as Gao Yan, the boss and Wang Zhengfei, the screenwriter, will appear.
The small celebration banquet was placed in a high-end restaurant in Fuzhou, and he opened a few rooms.
When Wang Zhengfei arrived, everyone had already arrived, and it seemed that they were waiting for him alone, Wang Zhengfei said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'm late!" ”
"You're not late, we're early!" Huang Bo next to him immediately said.
Although Huang Bo is only a small supporting role in "Crazy Stone", his superb acting skills quickly became popular with Crazy Stone, and the scripts of various endorsement dramas were sent to the door, although these leading actors have risen to varying degrees after the hit of "Crazy Stone", among which Guo Tao originally had a certain popularity and fame foundation, and he was closer after the end of this play, but in comparison, Huang Bo benefited the most, and his acting path was much narrower than that of several other people, unlike them, whether it is a positive angle or a negative angle, There is no problem with comedy or serious films, although he Huang Bo has superb acting skills, but his face shape is fixed in appearance, he can only take the comedian route, otherwise he will be the same as Feng Xiaogang and Guo Degang, obviously he is acting in comedy, but in order to break through the drama road, he went to play a decent role, and the plot that should have been very touching became first-class hilarious under the interpretation of these two.
Because of this, Huang Bo, who is only suitable for starring in comedies, has more easily won the recognition of the audience, and has also won the favor of many directors who originally rejected him, and quickly became a first-line funny star in China. In this regard, although he was mixed under Ning Hao, it can be said that Ning Hao single-handedly guided him to film, but the person he is most grateful to is not Ning Hao, but Wang Zhengfei, not only because the scene that made him popular was written by Wang Zhengfei, but more importantly, he heard that he was specially found by Wang Zhengfei, if it were not for Wang Zhengfei's handpicking, he might not have had a chance to appear at all.
In fact, not only Huang Bo, but also other people are grateful to Wang Zhengfei a lot, including Ning Hao, they were basically not famous in the entertainment industry before, even Guo Tao was just a little famous, and if it wasn't for Wang Zhengfei hand-picking them to star this time, they wouldn't have had any chance to star in this popular movie.
During the banquet, the cups were exchanged, and there was Gao Yan, a master of adjusting the atmosphere, and everyone was also very happy, so the atmosphere was soon fried.
Ning Hao was a little drunk, came to Wang Zhengfei's front and picked up the wine glass and said, "Zhengfei, I salute you for this glass of wine!" ”
"Good!" Wang Zhengfei drank this glass of wine, and his face was slightly red.
"This time, I, Ning Hao, can achieve such an achievement, it's all up to you, Zhengfei!" Ning Hao said.
"That's also the hard work of the big guys to make the movie "Crazy Stone" loved by so many people!" Wang Zhengfei said modestly.
"No, I know, the quality of a movie depends on the quality of a script, if it weren't for your script this time, we wouldn't have achieved that kind of result at all!" Ning Hao said.
"It's over, it's over!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"What's next, I know you're going to Taiwan to film, I don't know if you have a new script for me to shoot!" Ning Hao asked, this question has been entangled for a long time, although "Crazy Stone" has achieved great success, but he definitely doesn't want to be silent, on the contrary, he has to continue to surpass himself, although he is now the director of Xingchen Entertainment, but Gao Yan did not restrict him from going to other places to take over the play, after all, Xingchen Entertainment is not large now, generally speaking, even if there are one or two film and television dramas a year, Wang Zhengfei is considered first, after all, compared to Ning Hao, Wang Zhengfei is more reliable and more famous, So naturally I don't mind if he goes to pick up other people's plays, and besides, the company can still have a share, but Gao Yan will check and won't let Ning Hao find any play.
However, although many scripts have been handed over, Ning Hao still has a soft spot for Wang Zhengfei's works, especially when filming "Crazy Stone", he feels hearty, and feels that Wang Zhengfei has completely written the kind of story he wants to shoot.
This made him admire Wang Zhengfei to the ground, and he felt like a confidant, the so-called life is rare to have a confidant, so he is more willing to ask Wang Zhengfei and there is no script in his hand suitable for him to shoot, if there is, even if the money is less, he is willing to do it, life in the world often seems to be competing for fame and fortune, but more often, it is not necessary to value this.
"Script, I want to think about it!" Wang Zhengfei thought about it, in addition to "Crazy Stone", Ning Hao's works are also very famous "Crazy Racing".
"Crazy Racing" is about the bicycle rider Geng Hao, who became a silver medal rider because of a 0.01 second defeat, which is a line; the second line is the big thief and the two thieves, they became thieves by mistake, and finally tied up tickets and hurt people; the third line is a gang of four from Taiwan, who intended to make a big deal in the mainland; and the fourth line is two policemen, who made meritorious contributions, but they wholeheartedly believed that the silver medal rider was a thief.
It tells 5 stories related to the protagonist in the same time and space, involving 6 groups of characters, which is an absurd story intertwined by four threads.
The story is very exciting, or it continues Ning Hao's ring-by-ring, set narrative mode, no less than "Crazy Stone", and even much stronger than "Crazy Stone", after all, "Crazy Stone" is just Ning Hao's first show of skills in this regard, naturally it is not as proficient as a few years later, and the time taken to conceive "Crazy Racing" is far longer than "Crazy Stone".
"I have a creative idea, but I don't have a script in hand, I've been busy lately and may not be able to write it, but I remember that you can also do the work of a screenwriter, if you can shoot this story creatively, then this story belongs to you!" Wang Zhengfei said that the key is that he doesn't have a script at all now, and he has been busy writing "Snow Leopard" and reading some materials about "Mischievous Kiss" recently.
"What thoughts?" Ning Hao came to be interested.
"It's called Crazy Racing!" Wang Zhengfei said.
