Chapter 813 Daily

Ning Hao is considered to be the youngest and most promising director in the Mainland... not only in the Mainland, but also in the Chinese area, maybe not one of them...

Of course, Shen Xudong’s name needs to be crossed out!

It's a bit cruel to compare with him like this.

Two "Crazy XX", one "The Tuner", one "The Unknown", and now I am filming "One Shot"...

Among them, "The Tuner" has a box office of 230 million, and "The Unknown" has a box office of 457 million...

He is now a benchmark!

Many netizens said, "I've seen a lot of bad movies. Although I feel disgusted, sometimes I can't tell what's bad. But after watching Ning Hao's movie, I understand."

Many times the rhythm of the narrative is bad in bad movies. The quality of the story is one thing. Whether the story can be told well depends on whether the director's basic skills are solid.

Storytelling is about starting and turning, just like when driving, you have to stop and go. When you get on the highway, you have to drive at 120 kilometers. When you get off the highway, you have to slow down. But most directors just don’t understand this principle and think they can find the right way to drive. Several popular celebrities, with exaggerated or expressionless expressions in front of the camera, talk about some bad memes that are popular on the Internet, or they find a special effects company to make some magical smokey special effects that are hybridized between the East and the West, making them unpredictable and embarrassing. If you have great lines, or you can hire a few otaku goddesses to shoot some nude scenes, it can be considered a movie...

Watching Ning Hao's movies, every one of them is textbook-like in terms of narrative rhythm. The process of watching the movie can be summed up in two words: comfortable!

No matter how many story lines there are, Ning Hao always has the ability to make the story of each line relaxed and appropriate.

Is it difficult to say this?

Maybe, but many directors can’t do it anyway.

The director of a bad movie is like a crosstalk actor who has just started in the industry. He hasn't even practiced singing and singing yet, and he just wants to perform on stage to make money. Isn't this funny?

He mainly came to talk to Shen Xudong about "No Man's Land"...

He has always wanted to make stories about little people!

It is difficult for small people to stand up to the big times. Even if you have multiple sad experiences, in the eyes of outsiders, it is just a story with added twists and turns.

""The Unknown" is of this type. I went to the Taklimakan Oilfield area some time ago. There is a road with a total length of 550 kilometers, 470 kilometers of which is in the flowing desert. Shrubs and vegetation are planted on both sides of the road to prevent sand and protect the road. Vegetation Growth depends on groundwater - every four or five kilometers, there is a well room, and the pumped groundwater is sent to the root system of each cluster of vegetation through a network of drip irrigation pipes.

There are a total of 97 well houses, simple houses of 20 to 30 square meters. Each well house houses a worker who looks after the pump and does simple daily maintenance. This may be the most trivial job in the oil industry. You work for 6 months a year and earn several hundred yuan a month including food and accommodation. Most of the workers come from Sichuan and Chongqing, from impoverished ravines to the no-man’s land of desolate deserts. Apart from the regular supply trucks, they saw no one and almost nothing to do.

Gradually, the employer discovered that more and more pump watchers were suffering from mental disorders - spending too much time alone in no-man's land. So they tried to make some adjustments, and asked a couple to watch the pumps in each well house so that they wouldn't die of suffocation. Then they found that the well watchers started to ventilate! "

"…so what?"

“I discovered that in no-man’s land, people’s animal nature will prevail…”

"...If you feel something, just write a script and start it..."

"No Man's Land" is not a classic movie. The reason why Original Time and Space has attracted so many people's attention is because it was banned for four years! After countless reviews, revisions, and bounced votes, the audience’s expectations and sympathy points are increasing...

As soon as they heard about the ban, many people would subconsciously think that this film should have "something" in it. In fact, this film really has nothing in it.

Unlucky to catch up with political events...

But if he wants to shoot now, it will definitely be no problem...

"Then wait until I finish filming "One Shot" first..."

Shen Xudong nodded casually: "You can do whatever you want... By the way, did you watch "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" yesterday?"

Just as Ning Hao was about to answer, Chen Sicheng knocked on the door and came over...

…

Chen Sicheng has actually acted in several literary films, such as "The Night with the Spring Breeze". There were also rumors about his affair with Qin Hao...

It’s hard to imagine!

In fact, he has been relatively successful as an actor. His performance in "Big Maid" was really good, and his performance in "Soldier Assault" was also pretty good.

After saying hello, Shen Xudong introduced: "After Sicheng finished filming the TV series version of "BJ Love Story", he felt that it was not enough, so he planned to make a movie version!"

"...Oh, what are you going to do?"

Before Chen Sicheng could speak, Shen Xudong said: "His idea is to make a collection of short stories. I thought about it yesterday and decided to find a few new directors to work with Sicheng, and each of them would make a short film..."

Chen Sicheng was confused: "Everyone makes one film?"

"Yes...it's a platter movie anyway. How many short stories have you prepared?"

"Four to five."

"Then find 3 or 4 directors to work with you...you will be the chief director and chief producer!"

“…Are there so many new directors?”

Shen Xudong was delighted: "We signed six directors last year. There are also screenwriters and actors in the company who want to switch careers and become directors. Romance movies are very suitable for practicing skills. Assorted movies, stars are the biggest selling point. You say who you want to invite, and I will invite it for you!" "

Chen Sicheng immediately said: "Brother Hu and Liu Yifei...With them, the movie can sell at least 100 million."

You...you quite understand the audience.

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment...

Hu Ge or Liu Yifei are easy to invite alone, but it would be difficult for them to appear in the same scene and act in a drama!

It is impossible for Cai Yinong to let Brother Hu cooperate with Liu Yifei!

This woman is so stingy that she still hates Liu Yifei to this day.

But... it is indeed a good idea to find Brother Hu's partner Liu Yifei, so he nodded: "I will invite you..."

"What were you and Director Ning talking about just now?"

""Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"... By the way, Ning Hao, what do you think of this movie?"

Ning Hao thought for a while and then said: "I don't feel anything..."

Chen Sicheng interjected: "Yes... I have a similar feeling... I don't have the same nervousness as watching "New Dragon Inn"..."

Someone challenged him, and Ning Hao got excited: "I think Li Lianjie is a bit too old! Why not find Liang Jiahui?"

Shen Xudong explained: "Actually, "Longmen Inn" is the copyright of Hu Jinquan. When Wu Siyuan was preparing for "New Dragon Gate Inn", Tony Leung Ka Fai was selected to play the leading actor Zhou Huaian.

However, Jet Li's agent Cai Ziming approached Wu Siyuan at that time and said that he also wanted to film "New Dragon Inn" with Jet Li as the protagonist and asked Wu Siyuan to give the project to him, and he was very forceful. When Wu Siyuan was in trouble, Cai Ziming was shot dead on the streets of Hong Kong. Jet Li's version of "New Dragon Inn" was also aborted..."

"abortion?"

"Li Lianjie went back to the mainland to avoid the limelight, and stayed there for half a year before returning to Hong Kong to form Zhengdong Films! Moreover, the production cost of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" alone exceeded 100 million, and it needs overseas markets... Lien Lien is guaranteed! "

"I guess "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" can exceed 500 million, right?"

"600-700 million, three Hollywood blockbusters next month!"

After hearing this answer, Ning Hao quickly asked: "I heard that the number of imported Hollywood films will be increased?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, I have news, it is estimated that there will be 14 more films!"

"Now it's 20...an increase of 14, so that's 34?"

"Well, don't forget it. Basically, blockbusters will definitely be imported into the country... Next year, Chinese-language movies will have a hard time!"
