Chapter 861: Director Ning Wen and Novelist Xu Ye

Zhang Huanhuan clarified seriously: "It's not that my tongue is like a spring, and my tongue is full of lotus flowers." It is this injection of funds from Huanyu Entertainment, which is so crucial. Looking at the industry, there is no other company except Huanyu Entertainment with this strength and strength. ”

Maybe it's because Xingchen Yacheng has almost all climbed up step by step from the front-line production team, even if they are now in a high position and have become upstream capital. However, Xingchen Yacheng still has a persistence and pursuit that only belongs to creators.

They want to make a good work for the audience to see, a work must not only please the audience, but also be able to stay, not to mention become a classic, but after a few years, even if the costumes, props and special effects are ridiculous, but it is still worth watching.

If you can shoot a work, you can let the audience watch it more than three times, and each time you watch it, you will have a new and different harvest. Well, this is the proudest and happiest thing for the production team behind the scenes.

Teacher Xu Ye's "Night Night Night", the film and television copyright is not in the hands of Xingchen Yacheng, but in the hands of the only female director in the top 5 in China, Director Ning Wen.

Ning Wen became famous at a young age, and at the age of eighteen, she became a sensation with her graduation film "Flower", and won almost all the rookie director awards that year. She is one of the brightest stars of the festival, and no one can ignore her.

The personal style and color of the great director are extremely strong. Ning Wen's style is extraordinarily special. People who like her style, love her style to death. But if you don't like it, you can only say that it doesn't meet my appetite, and you can't say that Ning Wen's movie is bad with a clear conscience.

Since Ning Wen became famous at a young age, in the past 22 years, she has directed as many as 36 movies. It can be described as a very prolific director, and it is prolific and of quality.

Produced by Ning Wen, a classic.

Even if it is a pure commercial film directed for the sake of a meal, Ning Wen can use her unique female perspective and colorful style to shoot a different feeling. Therefore, the word Ning Wen has become a guarantee of quality and box office.

The audience recognizes Ning Wen's name, because no matter whether it meets the requirements of their own sniping, they will not let themselves down if they spend money to enter the cinema. And capital and investors recognize Ning Wen even more, and with Ning Wen in charge, the box office is guaranteed.

At the same time, Ning Wen is not lonely and does not appreciate herself, she is not just to make the literary films she wants to make, but to make pure commercial films in order to save money. Ning Wen likes to challenge herself, she thinks that if she can make a commercial film with the feeling of a literary film, and at the same time achieve great success in business, it is also an affirmation for a director.

Ning Wen doesn't like the remarks of a certain part of the director, thinking that the director who makes a commercial film is full of copper stench, insulting art, and purely for the sake of luck. Ning Wen didn't even agree with the punctuation marks.

In Ning Wen's view, whether it is a commercial film or a literary film, it is first of all a movie. What is a movie? It's for the audience. A movie, no matter how high the critics in the industry are. The audience is reluctant to buy a movie ticket for a cup of milk tea, and your movie can't attract the audience to spend money to sit in the cinema, so what kind of movie is it?

The movie itself is for the audience to see, not a group of so-called industry insiders' own internal carnival. Movies still have to return to the essence. And the essence is the audience.

"A movie that can make the audience pay for a ticket into the movie is not necessarily a good movie. But a movie that doesn't attract audiences to sit in the cinema must be rubbish. "Ning Wen has always been a character who dares to think and speak.

Ning Wen is willing to make commercial films, and she also likes to integrate commercial films and literary films to make her own unique. This kind of Ning Wen is liked by the audience, and the father of the gold owner likes it even more.

A domestic heavyweight film award, Ning Wen got a soft hand. As long as Ning Wen's movies participated in the selection that year, they could more or less win an award.

Ning Wen has long been a legend in the domestic film industry. She has been famous for a long time, and she has her own team, not to mention, as long as Ning Wen takes the book, what she wants, the father of the gold owner will give it to her without saying a word.

And Ning Wen and the great writer Xu Ye are a pair of very famous New Year's friends. Ning Wen's graduation work "Flower", which graduated from university at the age of eighteen, is based on the same name of Xu Ye.

From Ning Wen's birth to becoming an instant hit, to Ning Wen's continuous masterpieces, which established her status as a great director, and then to Ning Wen becoming a top 5 famous director in China, along the way, there is a figure of Mr. Xu Ye.

Fans jokingly said that if you can tell whether Director Ning is serious about making movies, or if she wants to make a commercial film to relax when she has nothing to do, you can determine whether the movie is an adaptation of Mr. Xu Ye, and it is clear at a glance.

This is inevitably arbitrary, but to a certain extent, it can be said.

Ning Wen dared to say: "Teacher Xu Ye's works, I want to make movies for everyone to score." But Mr. Xu Ye's works are very difficult to shoot, and the shooting process is difficult. It takes me two years, even three or five years, to make a work that satisfies me. So during this period, I will take one or two commercial films to shoot, so that I can relax and not be too nervous. And commercial films are easy to shoot and make a lot of money. ”

There are not many works left by Mr. Xu Ye, and almost all of them have been filmed by Ning Wen. Only "Night Night Night" is what Ning Wen has always wanted to film, but has never been able to film.

There are many reasons, the biggest reason is that the theme of Mr. Xu Ye's "Night Night Night" is limited. This book has only been released in the past ten years, and Mr. Xu Ye has been imprisoned for nearly 20 years because of this book.

During his imprisonment, although Xu Ye continued to write, the environment did not allow him to concentrate on his creation. Nearly 20 years is the peak of Mr. Xu Ye's creation, and he was wasted in prison, which also made Mr. Xu Ye's physical condition worrying.

"Night Night Night" is Mr. Xu Ye's favorite one. Ning Wen wants to shoot this film on the big screen, firstly because she also loves this one very much, and secondly, it is also to help her dream come true.

Mr. Xu Ye handed over all his works to Ning Wen for free shooting, and Mr. Xu Ye authorized all his film and television copyrights to Ning Wen before he fell into a coma.

The reason why Ning Wen signed a contract with Xingchen Yacheng to shoot "Night Night Night" is because no brokerage company is willing to invest in filming this movie that is very likely to be filmed, but it is far away from being launched. Xingchen Yacheng is the conscience of the industry and the only partner that Ning Wen can choose.

It's not that Ning Wen wants to choose Xingchen Yacheng, but Ning Wen only has the choice of Xingchen Yacheng. Of course, investing in Ning Wen to shoot "Night Night Night", there is also a lot of pressure on Xingchen Yacheng. The biggest pressure comes from the headquarters of Xingchen Capital.

If you know that there is a chance that you will lose money before you shoot a movie, a businessman will never invest in it.

Probably only people like Xingchen Yacheng and Ning Wen who have some kind of persistence and pursuit will go to the thankless shooting.

Of course, this is also one of the reasons for Huanyu Entertainment to cooperate with Xingchen.

The story of "Night Night Night" is very simple, it is a story around a small village in the 90s.

In the 90s, you can paraphrase the description in Dickens's "A Tale of Two Cities".

It's the best of times, and it's the worst of times;

This is an age of wisdom, this is an age of stupidity;

It's a time of trust, it's a time of doubt;

It's a season of light, it's a season of darkness;

This is the spring of hope, this is the winter of disappointment;

There is everything in front of people, and there is nothing in front of people;

People are on the road to heaven, people are walking towards the gates of hell.

It was the best of times and the worst of times.

The small village is close to Highway 99, and there are less than 20 families in the village, almost all of whom are related by blood.

Route 99, many trucks coming and going. The people of the small village make a living by robbing trucks coming and going on Highway 99. In order to prevent the truck driver from calling the police, the people of the small village will kill the truck driver after the looting is gone.

There are also truck drivers who choose to join the small village in order to survive. Marry a woman from a small village and become a part of a small village.

On Highway 99 at night, women or children in small villages will fall in the middle of the road, and if the driver has a good intention, he will stop the car and come forward to ask, and when the driver gets out of the car, the men hidden in the grass on both sides of Highway 99 will rush up......

Once the driver has good intentions, then the driver ushers in death.

This does not mean that the village has been successful every time. Some drivers were tired of driving, and it was dark at night, and they didn't see a woman or a child in the middle of the road.

Women and children will die on the spot. The people of the small village were so accustomed to this that they would just spit and say, 'Damn is unlucky,' and then calmly bury the body next to the road.

Tomorrow, continue.

A truck robbery can make this small village live for three or four months, or even half a year. There are often trucks and transports that get involved in accidents on the roads near small villages. Trucks will be found in small villages ranging from tens of kilometers to tens of kilometers, the whereabouts of the driver are unknown, and all the goods in the truck are missing.

The police have made many inquiries in the small village, and they have also found people in the small village, using the lost goods of the truck in an open and honest manner. When asked by the police, they get the same answer every time.

We found trucks full of goods, and we took them home. Driver? Haven't seen it. We only found the truck, not the driver. ’

It is not a few families in the small village who are engaged in murder and extortion, but the entire small village is involved in this crime. The most terrifying thing is that even the children who are not yet sensible are involved. The whole small village, no one felt that it was a crime, that it was a murder.

They are all numb to the point of indifference to killing people and goods, and they don't have any feelings. Killing people and selling goods is just their source of income, and it can even be said that the work of an entire small village.

Work, killing people and overselling goods is work.

"Night Night Night" is less than 200,000 words, and it begins with a description of a small village that is nothing more than ordinary, with a woman making dinner, her husband plowing the fields, and children doing their homework. The woman cooks the meal, the husband comes home, and the family of three eats dinner.

After dinner, the woman supervises the children's homework, and the husband goes out to have a drink with friends. At night, when it is time to go to bed, the woman goes to her husband with her child in her arms. A family of three, along with a few friends who were drinking with their husbands, came to Route 99.

The woman sits in the middle of Route 99 with her child in her arms. The child was drowsy in the woman's arms, when suddenly, a bright light approached from a distance. It was a truck carrying vegetables and fruits, and the truck driver was a little sleepy, and he saw the woman sitting on Route 99 and the child who was already asleep in her arms.

The truck driver slowed down, stopped, and just pulled the door open and jumped down to ask questions, and several drunken men with hoes and farming tools rushed out of the grass on both sides of Route 99......
