Chapter 481 Ning Hao's Special Effects Blockbuster

Among the directors in the Chinese film and television industry, there are two that Jiang Heng admires the most. One is Jia Zhangke, who specializes in surrealist themes, and the other is Ning Hao.

Jiang Heng likes the former's films such as "The Good Man" and "Destined to Live" very much.

Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing" and "No Man's Land" are also good works.

He felt that Ning Hao was a very talented and spiritual person, not only in terms of screenwriting and directing, but also in his occasional guest appearances.

The most unforgettable thing is the taxi driver played in "Crazy Race". When the gangster played by Gauthier inspected the goods, he took a bite and said: "Brother, it doesn't taste right!"

Ning Hao stopped the car with his foot and smiled devilishly, "Is your brain blocked by the door? Is that right?"

This performance is truly unforgettable.

Every time Jiang Heng thought about it, he still found it very interesting. As soon as he saw Ning Hao, he wanted to laugh and asked him if he had any good ideas.

Ning Hao's expression was a little embarrassed, because after the initial burst of inspiration, he no longer had that much inspiration.

In the original history, Ning Hao's "Crazy Alien" was released in 2019 after a full five years after "Heart Blossom Road" in 2014.

The box office is indeed very high, but the reputation is a bit average.

Later he directed "Mr. Red Carpet", which not only failed to gain good reputation, but also crashed at the box office.

It has to be said that a person's creative career has a time limit.

When you are not famous yet and are full of expectations and enthusiasm for the future, you may have a lot of inspiration.

But when they become famous, pampered, and no longer resonate emotionally with the working people, their works often begin to appear distorted and ungrounded.

The most typical ones are "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "Retrograde Life".

It also stars Xu Zheng, a film that reflects the suffering of the grassroots. The previous film made people burst into tears after watching it.

The latter part can only make people laugh and feel that they don't know what to say.

"Well, I really have some ideas. Do you think I'm suitable for filming a special effects blockbuster?"

Ning Hao didn't know where to start, so he responded casually.

Jiang Heng smiled and said: "Of course it's suitable, and I think you can combine special effects scenes with the black humor you are good at. Maybe this is also a way!"

Ning Hao thought thoughtfully and felt that it seemed to make sense.

It is a pure science fiction and mythological blockbuster with special effects. Many domestic directors, even including those from Hollywood, cannot compare to Jiang Heng.

If you want to get involved in the field of special effects blockbusters, you must find another way.

Black humor, what kind of humor?

Is it a fairy tale in the style of "Wulin Gaiden"? Or a sci-fi blockbuster like the "Crazy Series"!

When Ning Hao was 13 years old, his thinking was still relatively active and he thought about a lot in an instant.

In the end, he felt that the science fiction genre was too abstruse and he might not be able to grasp it. Creating a blockbuster with mythical special effects in the style of "Wulin Gaiden" might be a promising start.

Ning Hao expressed his opinion, and Jiang Heng laughed, "Heroes think alike. I was planning to make a film like this, but unfortunately I don't have the time!"

When Ning Hao heard this, he immediately understood that he had to work by himself again.

He smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, I just have nothing to do recently. If Director Jiang feels at ease, why don't you let me direct it?"

Jiang Heng laughed: "That's really great!"

Ning Hao also laughed, and then asked if he had any specific ideas.

Jiang Heng said that in order for Tang Monk to successfully obtain Buddhist scriptures from the West, the Heavenly Court set up a special "Sutra Protection Action Team" and arranged for many little demons who were about to become immortals to go undercover on the monster hills on the way to the west, interfering with the plans of the demons along the way to eat Tang Monk's flesh. ….

Jiang Heng was talking about the internet mini-series "Don't Panic, Your Majesty" which later became very popular. As far as the concept of the series was concerned, it was very novel in 2013. Many of the plot designs in the film were also full of rich black humor. , Ning Hao instantly fell in love with this story as soon as he heard it.

"This, this story is so good!"

Ning Hao was overjoyed. He originally came here to check Xu Zheng's story and didn't want to hear such a creative story.

With a humorous story and state-of-the-art special effects shots, the film is sure to be a hit at the box office. It's worth a try.

"Director Jiang, I've accepted this project. What about the script?"

Jiang Heng smiled, "I just thought of it on the spur of the moment and said it casually. Let's do this. I'll stay up late at night and write out all the story outlines I can think of, and you can take it and turn it into a complete script.

As for investment, if you want to invest, you can put in some, or if you don’t want us to take it all! "

Ning Hao said hurriedly: "It's okay, I still have some money in my hand, I can invest some, I can invest some!"

Jiang Heng said yes with a smile and looked at his watch again.

Ning Hao knew that he was going to continue filming. After thinking about Xu Zheng's instructions, he still asked.

"Well, Director Jiang, the public opinion about "囧" is quite lively at the moment. Have you heard about it?"

Jiang Heng smiled, he naturally knew the reason for Ning Hao's visit.

If he didn't mention it in the end, he would look down upon it!

"How could you not hear such a lively thing? Why is Lao Xu panicking?"

"It's a bit!"

"In the film market, even if you can deceive the audience for a while, they will eventually be found out one day. In the final analysis, the quality of the work still has to speak for itself!"

"That's it, that's it!"

Jiang Heng continued: "I think Xu Zheng's confidence in "Lost in Hong Kong" is not very strong, otherwise he would not have sold the profit rights?"

Ning Hao was a little surprised that Jiang Heng knew this, but then he took it for granted.

"It's not easy to make a series of movies. The later it is, the worse the reputation will be!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "So, tell him not to have too high expectations. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Just be calm!"

"Well, I will tell him this when I go back!"

"But then again, Lao Xu is still very talented in acting. If there is a chance, we can continue to cooperate!"

Ning Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this. This means they can continue to cooperate!

Xu Zheng asked him to come just to test Jiang Heng's thoughts, and he was afraid that if he offended him too much, he would be banned with all his strength!

"Okay, I will definitely tell you this. Lao Xu has always wanted to cooperate with you!"

Jiang Heng smiled, did not comment, just looked at his watch, and said that it was time to go to film.

Ning Hao hurriedly said goodbye after hearing this, and then called Xu Zheng after leaving the China Film Digital Base.

"Why did it take so long? I was almost dying of anxiety!"

Ning Hao smiled and said, "You are anxious and scared now, why didn't you think of these things at the beginning?"

Xu Zheng said, "I just want to make more money. Hey, I was also overwhelmed at that time. What did Director Jiang say!"

"I told you to be calm about the film and not to have too high expectations. For you, there is still a chance to continue cooperation!"

Xu Zheng finally let go of his hanging heart after hearing this, and said repeatedly, "That's good, that's all you said?"

Ning Hao said with some pride, "We also talked about a new film. I am also going to shoot a special effects blockbuster!"

Xu Zheng heard this, and his mood, which had just been relieved, suddenly felt blocked again! (End of this chapter)
