"Crazy Stone" is a film of black humor, and at the same time, it is also a very complex black humor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Being able to make this film shows that the director is by no means a newcomer, and he is by no means just enthusiastic about production. What's more important is that it is necessary to have the general professional level of textbooks before it is possible to shoot "Crazy Stone".

Although this movie deliberately shows off its skills, the script and shots are edited, which is very complicated. But what's even more powerful is that there are many complex clues, but they are not messy in the movie, and the audience can understand them completely. The biggest difficulty is nothing more than understanding or not understanding!

If you don't understand some places, it won't affect the whole movie.

Internationally, black humor is also a form of humor, but in the domestic market, this kind of black humor that turns non-humor into humor is refreshing.

Traditional comedies mostly use action and speech to make jokes. Black humor relies on plot contrasts, and the irony is also very good. Not. Wrong. Strong.

Black humor drama films, originally not in the style of comedy. But the audience was amused and laughed because they wanted to understand the contrast inside.

And clever black humor is often not a clue, but a clue of n. For example, in '98, the British director Guy . Rich's "Two Big Smoking Guns" is a masterpiece of this kind of black humor.

"Crazy Stone" is similar to "Two Smoking Guns"!

And Guy. For some audiences with black humor, Richie can be described as a god-like director.

At the same time, Guy. Richie's show-off film shots and editing methods have really fascinated many young directors who want to challenge their own limits, and there are a lot of people who can imitate this style!

The reason why Ning Hao later achieved great success. It's not just that he can sharpen a sword for ten years, endure loneliness, and constantly study theories and painstakingly sharpen his skills.

What's more, at the end of the 90s, he chose a very awesome idol Guy. Rich's films are repeatedly studied. And imitate Guy. Richie's film can make a director technically. The starting point is very high - more than the vast majority of literary film directors!

From Guy. From the cases of Richie and other predecessors, it can be known that there are some niche ones in commercial films, but the niche is mainly relatively niche in style and subject matter, but it is still aimed at satisfying the tastes of some audiences. At the same time, purely the techniques of cinematic footage and editing, the director of the literary film cooperated with Guy Murphy. Richie is like a layman.

Literary films usually prefer to use slow-paced long takes, and Guy . Richie is the pinnacle of short shots. Although, the lens is used as the distinction between literary films and commercial films. It's a bit unscientific.

However, the vast majority of commercial films will be fast-paced, and short shots are used more, and many literary film directors sometimes can't mix in the commercial film market, just because they are used to shooting long shots, and short shots are not very good.

And Ning Hao's film. It's not so much a box office dark horse. fully passed such a movie, hinting to industry insiders that Ning Hao is actually suitable for making commercial films!

The promotion of "Crazy Stone" by the small partner company is mainly focused on "black humor", which is highly praised, and black humor movies are more technical than traditional comedies.

It's not just about challenging the abilities of writers, directors, actors, and crew owners. Moreover, it also challenges the ability of the audience. Because, black humor contains a lot of information, if the ability to understand is not enough, it may be ...... Can't read the movie!

But if you understand it. will not only feel funny, but also the handling of the plot clues in it, breathtaking, a bit of intellectual superiority.

"Have you watched Crazy Stone?".

"Is it good-looking?".

"I don't know, but it's definitely a challenge to IQ, and low IQ businessmen can't understand it!"

Countless pretending people show off this film to their friends that can only be understood by high IQ. As a result, countless audiences took the bait and walked into the cinema to watch the movie.

Because of this film, some people can pretend to be forced, so many people began to take the initiative to promote "Crazy Stone" in order to show their superiority!

In addition, the number of "Crazy Stone" in the theater of the little partner is no less than that of "Spider-Man 2" and "Ambush on All Sides". So much so that "Crazy Stone" is really crazy at the box office compared to many small-budget movies.

Ten days after its release, it has earned 15 million yuan at the box office. In the following period of time, the box office of "Crazy Stone" hit new highs repeatedly, until the movie was drawn, setting a box office score of 31 million yuan.

This is a big step higher than the box office of "Crazy Stone" in history, which was 23.5 million yuan.

However, soon there was a hint of criticism in public opinion, because some film critics accused: "Ghost genius Ning Hao? Plagiarism is just that! What "Crazy Stone" is a high-IQ movie. It's just a plagiarized film, "Two Big Smoking Guns" in 98, the creativity and part of the shots in it are too similar and coincidental with this film! ”

"Partner's company, a plagiarized director?"

""Crazy Stone" plagiarized "Two Smoking Guns" ......"

In fact, the idea of "Crazy Stone" comes from Ning Hao's watching and figuring out "Two Big Smoking Guns", since 98, he has studied the pull sheet of "Two Big Smoking Guns" dozens of times, every scene and paragraph is chewing, and gradually digesting it has become a part of his style.

But "Crazy Stone" can only speak of a similar style, but not plagiarism. After all, the creativity of the two is similar, but the plot is different, and it is just a tribute after digesting "Two Big Smoking Guns".

Of course, like Guy. Richie's movies have always been difficult, and trying to copy his movies has always been thankless. Can imitate Guy. Richie's directors are often pretentious geniuses!

And Ning Hao's growth, in fact, for a long time, has been imitating Guy. Richie's films, absorbing nutrients from them.

Ning Hao was a little caught off guard by the accusations in the industry and didn't know how to defend them.

Wang Qinian suggested to Ning Hao: "Don't say that you plagiarized a certain work, but were inspired by some black humor movies." For example, "Crazy Stone" is like "Two Smoking Guns", but the black humor is not Guy. Exclusive to Richie. A "Modern Bodyguard" in Hong Kong in the 80s has similar clues intertwined! For another example, martial arts movies existed in the sixties, and later thousands of martial arts works. Do you have to be beaten to death with a stick, and if someone has filmed it, no one else is allowed to shoot it? ”

After hearing Wang Qinian's suggestion, Ning Hao held a press conference to explain to the media the original intention of creating "Crazy Stone": "Guy. Director Ritchie is one of my idols, his handling of the camera. The way of editing has influenced many directors, and I don't deny that I learned Guy through pulling films. Richie's Films. But pulling film is a part of the film profession, and most of the work of directing, cinematographer, etc., requires continuous learning of pulling film throughout their lives. As for plagiarism or something, this ...... The same style should not be considered plagiarism, at most it is a tribute. If. Some people say that pulling the film is plagiarism, I can only say nothing, the vast majority of directors around the world have made progress by pulling the film all their lives. The film academy has always been for students to master the technique of pulling tabs, and many of the teachings are pulling tabs. I pulled a lot of films on a director's work, and I studied and digested it repeatedly. It will inevitably be affected. Of course, this is the same as a writer. In the initial stage, they are familiar with and imitate the works of other writers until they form their own style and do not need to imitate.

As for some film critics, plagiarism is worth multiple clues going hand in hand, and in the end. Mishaps, the formation of a black humorous comedy effect. does not deny being influenced by "Two Big Smoking Guns". But this is only a style of film, and it is not unique to one director, and other directors cannot use it. To be honest, if you watch more movies. It should be known that in the 80s, Hong Kong ghost horse film master Xu Guanwen's "Modern Bodyguard", there are similar black humor ideas in "Two Big Smoking Guns" and "Crazy Stone". However, can you say that "Two Big Smoking Guns" plagiarized and borrowed from "Modern Bodyguard". And so on, it can't be similar in style, so you have to say that "Crazy Stone" was copied!

There are also martial arts films, there have always been many in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. The later martial arts dramas will inevitably learn from their predecessors and be affected. Could it be that they are not allowed to learn to imitate, and their juniors are not allowed to shoot martial arts?

Well, even if it's copying, I don't think most domestic directors can copy it. Because of this kind of multiple clues, in the end, the clues are not chaotic, but the film that produces a black humor effect is too demanding for the screenwriter, director, and actors. I dare to say that the vast majority of directors can't shoot such a difficult subject matter with a script! ”

In the audience, the little partner company hired Tuo began to applaud.

All of a sudden, it affected the mood of many media.

After this press conference, many media continued to say good things to Ning Hao, explaining why it is too normal for the film and television industry to pull films, just like the science industry, it is to stand on the shoulders of giants and learn the knowledge of predecessors in order to go further.

Any kind of human skill is not made behind closed doors, but needs to be learned first, and learn the knowledge that has been created by people before, in order to bring forth the new.

As a result, after this press conference, it did not damage Ning Hao's reputation, but made Ning Hao's image in the minds of the audience more magnificent.

Of course, the biggest gain of this film is not the box office of more than 30 million yuan, but with the help of Ning Hao's matchmaking, Wang Qinian signed the brokerage contracts of Huang Bo and Xu Zheng to the partner company, and it will be ten years to sign it!

thought of the future, the works of Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and others, the box office data. Wang Qinian almost woke up laughing in his dream, so easily incorporated a group of gold-absorbing masters in the future Chinese film market into the banner of his friends!

"Congratulations, Director Ning Hao!" Wang Qinian said with a smile, "With a box office of 30 million, the first movie is so high, and the starting point far exceeds my "Gate of Destiny" back then!" ”

"Boss, you're making fun of me! Back then, you only had hundreds of thousands of capital, and the difficulty of making a film like "The Gate of Destiny" was much higher than that of "Crazy Stone" with 5 million! Ning Haoke was not complacent because of the success of a movie.

After all, he also knows that the success of "Crazy Stone" has played a very important role in the tilt of the resources of the partner company.

"What's your idea for the next movie?" Wang Qinian asked.

"In the next part, I plan to continue the style of "Crazy Stone", and the title of the film is going to be "Crazy Racing"!" Ning Hao explained, "However, the script takes longer to prepare, because "Crazy Racing" is more complicated than "Crazy Stone"! ”

Wang Qinian smiled, knowing in his heart that in fact, Ning Hao is now focusing on playing black humor, just playing, through this kind of film, learning Guy. Richie's cinematic lens language and editing style.

Guy. Rich is the best textbook for Ning Hao at this stage.

After he really understands it, Ning Hao can shoot black humor instead of filming, but can freely shoot other more atmospheric themes.

At that time, it is the real harvest period! (To be continued......)
