Chapter 123: Ning Hao

Ning Hao was very nervous, since Wang Zhongjun adjusted the summer file of "Crazy Stone" to around the Lantern Festival, he began to become more and more nervous, and finally ran directly to Shao Yingying's house nervously.

That day, Ning Hao left a deep impression on Shao Yingying, he witnessed a future great director in the immature Yiqiē frizz, at that time Ning Hao did not go through the baptism of "Green Meadow", there are only three plays in his personal work file: "Wednesday, Thursday", "Incense", and "Wulin Gaiden", when he saw Shao Yingying, the whole person was chaotic, and he could put the cigarette upside down and use a lighter to light the filter.

"Ning Hao, why aren't you nervous about filming "Wulin Gaiden"?"

In the study, there is only one table between Shao Yingying and Ning Hao, there is no bookshelf in this study, and Shao Yingying does not have the habit of pretending to be a literati, and the most useful dilapidated computer for him is only placed on the desk, so this room is particularly empty.

Under this question, Ning Hao answered a lot, Shao Yingying made a rough calculation when he listened to these words, if these words were recorded, this would be Ning Hao's life before he became famous.

Ning Hao has a brain gate, and Ning Hao, who was used to hearing his family say that the brain gate is smart when he was a child, figured out what was going on with this brain door during a sick and hospitalized examination, and it turned out that the big brain door did not mean that he was smart, but hydrocephalus.

After coming to Beijing, Ning Hao was also poor, and his way of surviving at that time was to borrow someone else's camera to take portrait photos of the students in the dormitory of the school next to him, in today's words. It's called a personal photo.

At that time, Ning Hao only asked for a hundred yuan to make a handover, if it wasn't for a friend's dinner to meet the guitarist of the Tang Dynasty, and take a few photos of people during the meal. Ning Hao will not have the next way to go. Those photos are the starting point for Ning Hao's entry into the entertainment industry, he did not give the photos to others after taking photos of the guitarist of the Tang Dynasty band during dinner, but took the handover back to his hometown, and made it from the computer again, and then showed it to others.

His intentions, dedication and perseverance impressed the guitarists of the Tang Dynasty band, and this was the opportunity to shoot album covers for the Tang Dynasty band.

This opportunity brought infinite benefits to Ning Hao, and later Ning Hao was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy. entered the music TV station as a reporter, and took advantage of this step to become the director of the music video, and the hottest singers at that time came to Ning Hao to shoot music MVs. For example, Pu Shu's "Colorful-days".

Ning Hao only began to become worry-free from this piece, as for his first movie "Incense", he took DV back to his hometown to shoot a DV movie alone, which was an earlier work, when Ning Hao was still studying in film school.

Such a Ning Hao has won Shao Yingying's trust. had the opportunity to shoot "Wulin Gaiden". became the director of "Crazy Gems" again, and when the new work was released, he couldn't help but be nervous, which was his real start on the big screen.

At that time, Shao Yingying, who listened to Ning Hao tell about this qiē, had been laughing, and the content he laughed at was that Ning Hao had missed the most important experience in his life because of himself, which was called "Green Meadow".

Because Shao Yingying knows that the name Geng Hao, the hero of "Heart Flower Road", comes from "Green Meadow", and the original owner of this name is the production director of Green Meadow.

Also, there is an impressive shot in "Heart Blossom Road". That is the picture of Geng Hao and the gay-sexual beauty dragging Xu Zheng's car but losing Xu Zheng, it is precisely because of this plot that the car without brakes slid and crashed into Xu Zheng's car.

In fact. This qiē is all real!

Moreover, it happened on the way to the filming of "Green Meadow".

During the filming of Green Meadow, the production director's car broke down and needed to be put on the positive and negative wires on the battery to light the fire, and there was a prop car in the crew that was bought for 1,300 yuan. At that time, the production director's car did not pull off the cable after completing the task, so that the battery ran out, and once again entered a state of breakdown, and they could only drive the prop car from the set back to the town for maintenance, and the car they were driving at that time was the prop car, and there was no brake.

The most interesting point of this story is the same as "Heart Flower Road", Ning Hao and his colleague Li Jie at the time lost the production director's car, and when the two of them reached the edge of the town, they received a call from the production director, and the moment they went back to find it, the two of them still regarded it as a joke, but when they went back, they encountered the same thing as "Heart Flower Road" on the way back, and the car slid and broke. Because they were patronizing and laughing, no one remembered that there were no brakes in the car, and when they remembered, the car had already rushed down, even if it was not fast.

Ning Hao's first thought was to jump out of the car, and when he jumped out of the car, he remembered that Li Jie was still in the car, so he ran down again, like the male protagonist of "Heart Flower Road", grabbing the car window and trying to stop the car, in that case, the strength of the person was not as strong as the inertia at all, and finally Ning Hao could only watch the car slide down, shouting in the night: "Geng Hao!" ”

In the distance, a voice replied, "Hey." ”

"No brakes!" Ning Hao shouted again.

"Huh?" The other party obviously didn't hear clearly

Thanks to Li Jie in the car, if he hadn't slammed the steering wheel and pushed the car to a tree on the side of the road and forced the brakes, it is very likely that an accident would have been caused at that time.

Shao Yingying doesn't know if Ning Hao, who is missing this important experience, can still hand over the humorous scenes in "Heart Blossom Road", but now Ning Hao is nervous like a child.

"Boss Shao, you said this box office ...... What if it's too low? ”

Ning Hao can't say anything, the movie starring Shao Yingying is higher than the box office, "Accident" is 60 million, "Embroidered Spring Knife" is 120 million, if his movie with an investment of only 6 million only gets a box office of hundreds of thousands, it will eventually ...... How can he have the face to continue to work in Huayi.

Shao Yingying didn't persuade him, and asked Ning Hao: "When you made the movie, was it still a storyboard script that you hand-drew yourself?" ”

Ning Hao has a habit of having art skills and being a professional science, he is used to hand-drawn storyboards before entering shooting, and it is this habit that makes his lens effects full of visual humor.

"Hmm." Ning Hao didn't know why. But I kind of admit it.

"This drama is the movie you've always wanted to make?" Shao Yingying asked again.

Ning Hao still nodded.

"And what are you afraid of?" Shao Yingying spoke: "Man, who hasn't failed yet?" Haven't I ever brushed my glass or opened a beer in a cabaret? Since it's what you want to do. Or did it happen single-handedly, if the box office didn't work, just do it until the behavior stopped? ”

Ning Hao knew that this was the reason: "But I have a lot of things in my heart, I look at the box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife" of 120 million and "Wuji" of 180 million, and I panic. ”

"See what we're doing? "Embroidered Spring Knife" invested 45 million, "Wuji" invested more than 300 million, and your "Crazy Gem" with an investment of 6 million can't compare with these movies at the box office, and the box office requirement I give you is that the box office climbs over 20 million. I'll give you Ning Hao to celebrate! ”

Speaking of which, Ning Hao is spiritual, 20 million for a person who has studied art, music, and photography. A director who has also filmed more than 100 MVs, two movies, and a TV series is definitely not a high demand.

"Boss Shao, do you really only ask for 20 million?"

"That's right, I'm not talking about profits, my request is that the total box office is over 20 million. The company will allocate funds for the celebration of your "Crazy Gems" crew. ”

Ning Hao stood up from his chair. said to Shao Yingying: "Boss Shao, if our movie exceeds 20 million at the box office, the production cost of my next movie will ......."

"I'll give it to you!" Shao Yingying also added: "If the box office reaches 20 million, no matter what you want to make in the next movie, the total amount of your film investment will be 20 million!" ”

Some people say that confidence is built on one's own, but in some special industries, this is not the case at all. For example, movies. There is no other way to build confidence in this industry than box office and awards, and newcomers have not been exposed to these two things before. All the faith is given by others, and some people even stay alone because no one gives him confidence.

Shao Yingying, who knew this very well, gave Ning Hao confidence, and the tension on Ning Hao's body completely disappeared when he left, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed, not to mention, it seemed that he could already feel the confidence in him. This is the definition of 20 million, if you put the goal on Ning Hao's ability, he will definitely be confident, if Shao Yingying sets a box office of 40 million for him, I'm afraid Ning Hao will have to walk out of this study with his head down.

Fortunately, Shao Yingying knows how to nourish a cash cow to make it stronger, and Ning Hao is a good example.

With Shao Yingying's support and encouragement, Ning Hao took Huang Bo and other teams to start the propaganda tour of various places, the results of this tour are very disappointing, almost every place can not cause storms, the most media Ning Hao, because he is the director of "Wulin Gaiden", only a few media responded to a few words such as 'The trailer looks very special' in the trailer.

After this circle of publicity, Shao Yingying did Ning Hao a great favor, he invited the heads of major websites to watch a movie screened in advance through his own connections, and among the people who watched it, there were countless media reporters, and these people filled a movie hall.

Shao Yingying was not worried about a pirated version of "Crazy Gems" at all, and after one game, he believed that the name of the film would be spread all the media.

Sure enough, as he expected, when the media people said goodbye to Shao Yingying, various reports began to appear in the media the next day, of course, it could not be the headlines.

"Crazy Gems", a domestic director analyzed Quentin for the first time and showed "Pulp Fiction" in his own way - Huayi Performing Arts Network.

Shao Yingying helped the new director of the ghost talent, and Ning Hao's new film "Crazy Jewel" was greatly praised - Xinliang.com.

When the wind was on the Internet, some netizens saw Ning Hao's name, this name has extraordinary value for people who like "Wulin Gaiden", the director of "Wulin Gaiden" made a new movie? Still playing in World Cup years?

As soon as the online media publicized "Crazy Jewel", a vote of netizens began to support Ning Hao, and Ning Hao immediately became the most anticipated director on the Internet, and "Crazy Jewel" naturally became the most anticipated film in the eyes of this group of young people.

At this moment, various TV programs began to promote endlessly, and when Ning Hao and them went, many people refused to help because there were no big names in this movie, but under the Internet publicity. Qiē has become different, as if the once indifferent local media suddenly changed into an enthusiastic face and took the initiative to help promote "Crazy Gems" when Ning Hao had left. What the hell is this truth, Ning Hao doesn't understand. He didn't bother to ask, there were some things that he would rather not understand in his life.

Finally, "Crazy Gem" was pushed onto the big screen with Ning Hao's nervousness, Shao Yingying's persuasion, the craze of the Internet, and the help of the media, and it was time for Ning Hao to hand in the answer sheet!

When the box office results came out in the first week, Ning Hao didn't even dare to pass by Shao Yingying's office every time he went back to the company, he knew that the ugly daughter-in-law always had to see her in-laws. But the feeling of needing to hand in the answer sheet to others for the first time made him always shy away from the door of Shao Yingying's office. Ning Hao didn't even buy any newspapers, and even jumped away when he saw entertainment news on TV when he went home, he was afraid of hearing news like 'Huayi investment failure' and 'Ning Hao's box office fiasco'.

He's been in the industry for three years. If he loses this time, he can only honestly wait for Shao Yingying's reward, and when Shao Yingying is happy, he may be able to reward him for filming a TV series. He doesn't like to live like this, otherwise why would he come to the capital. Wouldn't it be better to mess around in your hometown?

Ning Hao also wants to be a director with the right to speak. He also wanted to see his box office, and he also wanted to go to the company to ask, but the feet under his feet were always not very obedient.

Life is like this, the more you look forward to it, the more you are afraid of the outcome.

When Ning Hao finally made up his mind to knock on the door of Shao Yingying's office, it happened to be the week after the release of "Crazy Stone", and during this week, he closed himself off from anyone. No one is allowed to be in the world of the word 'box office' in front of him, until today. He wanted to uncover the answer with his own hands.

Bite.

The moment the elevator door opened, Ning Hao appeared on the floor where Shao Yingying's office was located, and as soon as he entered the office building, he found that the colleagues in the office area were a little strange, these people did not concentrate on their work as usual, and they all looked up at him one by one.

Ning Hao's heart was even more panicked, he didn't understand what these people meant.

Stepping out, out of the elevator, the moment I got out of the elevator, I was a little slower, and I was even caught by the elevator door that was closed, a little wolf.

Well.

Ning Hao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and when he continued to walk towards the company, he found that some of the colleagues in the office area around him had moved, and they were leaving their actions and gathering towards him......

Touch!

A loud noise startled Ning Hao, and under the loud noise, Ning Hao felt that his eyes were a little gorgeous, and the colored stripes falling on the top of his head reminded him of the sound just now, which might be a hand-twisted firewr.

"Congratulations!"

Wang Zhongjun walked out of the office with Wang Zhonglei, and the smile on Wang Zhongjun's face and Ning Hao's frightened panicked neck shone against each other.

"Ning Hao, you will be the director of our company next, "Crazy Gem" is very good, it has received rave reviews after its release, and the actors you are looking for are not very famous, even if the company does not spend much money to control piracy, there are not many pirated CDs on the market, which also allows us to hold the first week by chance, so that there is almost no clear pirated ...... on the street this week."

Wang Zhongjun hadn't finished speaking, Ning Hao couldn't listen anymore, he just wanted to know what his box office was now, which was completely opposite to his previous resistance: "Mr. Wang, what is the box office this week......"

"Ten million!"

Wang Zhongjun said in a strong voice: "Ning Hao, your movie can reach at least 30 million when it is painted, which is still a conservative estimate!!! ”

Million????

Ning Hao didn't experience that kind of joy, he didn't understand what he was feeling like now, he felt thirsty, he wanted to swallow saliva, more like ......

"Mr. Wang, where is Boss Shao?"

Wang Zhongjun's face darkened, he also prepared a celebration banquet for Ning Hao's celebration, why did this kid open his mouth and ask where Shao Yingying was?

"Xiao Shao and Wang Jiawei have gone to visit the martial arts masters, don't they still have to prepare a new movie, by the way, I have prepared the celebration banquet, you ......"

Ning Hao swore that he didn't hear what Wang Zhongjun said, he only knew that it was Shao Yingying who helped him survive when he was most unconfident, and when success came, Shao Yingying kept a qiē for his own enjoyment. This kind of boss, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet a second one in my life! (To be continued......)
