The Luohan Temple in Yuzhong ~ County, a mountain city, is the main filming location of "Crazy Stone" this time, and it is also the filming location that Shao Shuaijun planned at the earliest. As early as Zhang Xiaobing and others from the art group came to Shancheng, Shao Shuaijun notified Qi Wansheng, Zhang Chao and Dagang of the external producers to take stock of the use time of Luohan Temple in the next three months.

According to the instructions of the art team, the decoration team was invited to come in and renovate the entire Luohan Temple, and the entire Luohan Temple was not renovated until the movie started.

Entering the filming state, Shao Shuaijun set up camp in the Luohan Temple, the footage of the Luohan Temple is the most important link in the whole movie, and Shao Shuaijun has to take the lead himself. In addition to the Luohan Temple, there is another important location, a hotel with a bathhouse, not far from the Luohan Temple, which is also under the control of Shao Shuaijun.

As for other location shooting, Shao Shuaijun has already chosen a place with Li Kai, and the rest of the shooting will be completed by Li Kai.

The movie "Crazy Stone" revolves around a piece of jade accidentally excavated from a factory toilet, and a confrontation between good and evil. Headed by Bao Shihong, the head of the security section played by Guo Tao, as the representative of the factory, he protected the jadeite exhibition. The real estate developer Feng Dong faction played by Xu Zheng wanted to steal jade to bring the factory down in order to buy the factory's land at a lower price. The Dao brother faction played by Liu Hua, including Heipi played by Huang Bo and Xiaojun played by Yue Xiaojun, simply want to snatch the jade and sell it at a good price.

That's already three lines, enough to complete a complex film, but what makes this film endure and succeed is that two lines are added to these three lines. One is Xie Xiaomeng, the son of the factory director played by Peng Bo, who does not learn and specializes in body art, and does not hesitate to steal jade in order to trick Brother Dao's girlfriend into bed. The other is the thief Mike played by Lian Jianwei, who is a subordinate of Feng Dong, and the four eyes played by Wang Xun come forward to contact him to help the company steal jade.

These five threads are intertwined at one time, plus some other short lines, whether bright or dark, through all kinds of coincidences and opportunities, weaving a stunning black comedy.

In the original movie, director Ning Hao relied on the Asian Rising Star Director Program sponsored by Liu Tianwang and got an investment of 3 million, all of which were used to make movies, and there was no money to promote, so he still relied on quality to win the box office of 23 million, ranking in the top ten in the annual domestic film box office, becoming a complete dark horse.

It shows the success of the movie, and the skills in it are very deep.

If you want to make this movie well, you need not only directorial skills, but also hard work. The shooting time passed day by day, and the sample films increased day by day, and Shao Shuaijun had to look through the previous samples almost every day to find out the shortcomings and compare them with the original version in his memory.

Eliminate the imperfections of the original version, and add Shao Shuaijun's own ideas, trying to make the movie surpass the original.

Shao Shuaijun is a typical workaholic, once he starts filming, he sleeps no more than four hours a day, either rehearsing for the actors or watching sample films.

"Huang Bo, yesterday's sewer shot, I have to shoot it again."

This morning, as soon as Shao Shuaijun entered the set, he shouted loudly. Huang Bo was playing against Liu Hua, and when he heard the words, he ran over and shouted: "Why do you want to reshoot again, director, it's been reshot three times, and I want to vomit as soon as I smell the sewer now." ”

"I want to vomit too, but I have to reshoot, the tension of the expression in the camera is incoherent. You come and see for yourself, experience it for ten minutes, and then reshoot. ”

This scene is carried out in the sewer, and the content is the black skin played by Huang Bo, who is ready to touch into the Luohan Temple from the sewer and steal the jade. But Bao Shihong, the chief of the security section played by Guo Tao, had already noticed that he pressed a stone statue of Bodhisattva on the manhole cover, and the black skin could not be opened, so he could only climb back along the same road.

What's funny is that the black leather on the front foot entered the sewer, and the BMW car of the back foot thief Mike was pressed on the manhole cover, so that the black leather couldn't get out. What's even funnier is that the thief Mike himself got stuck in the process of drilling the bellows, so no one drove away from the BMW, and the black skin starved in the sewer for three days......

"You see, at the beginning, your emotions were excited, because you were going to go in and steal jadeite and make a lot of money. When the manhole cover in the Luohan Temple can't be opened, your mood becomes depressed, but because of the simple surname of the character of Heipi, you can't bring irritability in the depression. After that, I climbed back, and the manhole cover was also blocked, so I should bring a trace of irritability. ”

Pointing to Huang Bo in the picture, Shao Shuaijun began to analyze: "Look at this set of shots again, you are making a phone call in the sewer, but your mobile phone has no signal, you have to be a little distressed." The latter group is that you climb up to the mouth of the well, stretch out the antenna of the mobile phone, and finally get through Brother Dao's mobile phone, you can't wait to explain your situation, because Brother Dao is a ruthless person, you need to be very eager, eager and cautious...... And this last group, Mike's car was towed away, and you finally climbed up, you have been hungry for three days, and your expression at this time should be weak, and you can't think of anything when you're hungry and don't react to anything......"

"Director, I understand what you said, but my expression looks very OK, and I even laugh when I see it, there is no flaw." Huang Bo was wearing a night suit and a bird's nest-like hairstyle, which made people want to laugh at this stop.

"The individual links are very appropriate to the situation, but the film is interspersed with narratives, and as a multi-line story, there is a bit of a lack of tension when connected. I'll show you a little more, a sample of my simple cut, and you can experience it again. Shao Shuaijun released the sample film, and Huang Bo watched it intently.

Shao Shuaijun turned around at this time, picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Wang Yixue, wait for the next three sets of shots, you will take someone to shoot first." Sloppy, you rearrange Gu Xuan's scene for me, finish filming her scene one day earlier, send her back to study one day earlier, and the crew can also save some food expenses! ”

"Understood." Sloppy and loud answers.

Gu Xuan, who was putting on makeup in the corner, flattened his mouth and said to the makeup artist Yang Yang: "The director is also stingy, I am not in a hurry to go to school, he is in a hurry, I am really afraid that I will eat him." ”

Yangyang is a female makeup artist, about thirty, and teased: "Then you can grab him in his hands, pull his heart, and see if he is still stingy." ”

"Cut, the director is not my thing, and he puts on a face all day long, as if I owe him five hundred yuan. Looking at his situation, it is difficult to find a partner in this life! Sister Yang, you should introduce him to a partner, Chong Chongxi, wash away the cold air on his body, and everyone will live more comfortably. ”

"I'm not a matchmaker, and I know you as a little girl." Yang Yang smiled and said, "However, I have been a makeup artist for several years, and I have worked with many crews and met many directors. It's the first time I've seen a young director like Director Shao, and I thought he was also selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, but I didn't know that Director Shao's board was no worse than those directors. Tsk, it seems that being a director also depends on talent......"
