At first, I just wanted to make money

Ning Hao can be regarded as the mainland... not only the mainland, it can be said that there may not be one of the youngest and most promising directors in the Chinese area...

Of course, Shen Xudong's name must be crossed out!

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

Two "Crazy XX", one "Tuner", one "Nobody", and now I am filming "One Shot to the End"...

Among them, "The Tuner" has a box office of 2.3 million, and "The Unknown" has a box office of 4.57 million...

He is now a benchmark!

Many netizens said, "I've watched a lot of bad movies. Although I feel disgusted, sometimes I can't tell where the bad movies are, but since I watched Ning Hao's movies, I can understand it."

Bad movies often have a bad narrative rhythm. The story is good or bad. Whether the story can be told well depends on whether the director's basic skills are solid.

Storytelling pays attention to the beginning and end, just like driving a car, you should stop and walk. When you get on the high speed, you have to go 120 mph, and when you get off the high speed, you have to slow down. But most directors just don’t understand this principle. A few popular celebrities, with exaggerated expressions or no expressions in front of the camera, said a few popular bad jokes on the Internet, or found a special effects company to do a few magic smoke special effects that are a hybrid of East and West, making people unpredictable and embarrassing Terrific lines, or invite a few nerd gods and goddesses to take a few naked scenes, it is considered a movie...

Watching Ning Hao's movies, each one can be called a textbook-like existence in terms of narrative rhythm, and the process of watching the movie is just two words: comfortable!

No matter how many story lines there are, Ning Hao always has the ability to control the tension of each line of the story, just right

Is it hard to say?
Maybe, anyway, many directors can't do it

A bad film director is like a cross talk actor who has just entered the industry. He said that he has not practiced singing and funny, and he just wants to perform on stage to make money. Isn’t it funny?
He mainly came to chat with Shen Xudong about "No Man's Land"...

He has always wanted to shoot stories about little people!
It is that it is difficult for a small person to fight against the big era, 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 this type. I went to the Taklamakan Oilfield some time ago. There is a road with a total length of 550 kilometers, 470 kilometers of which are in the middle of a 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 water well room, and the pumped groundwater is sent to the root system of each clump of vegetation through the drip irrigation network.

There are a total of 97 water well houses, simple houses of 6 to [-] square meters, and each well house houses a worker who looks after the pump and does some simple daily maintenance.This may be the most trivial job in the oil industry. You work for [-] months every year, and you get hundreds of dollars a month including board and lodging.Most of the workers come from Sichuan and Chongqing, from the impoverished valleys to the no-man's land in the desolate desert.Apart from the regular supply trucks, they saw no one and had little to do.

Gradually, the employer found that more and more people were mentally abnormal—the time spent alone in no man's land was too long.So I tried to adjust it, and each well room asked a couple to look at the pump, so as not to suffocate, and then they found that the group of well lookers started to take a breath! "

"…so what?"

"I found that in no man's land, human animality will prevail..."

"...If you feel like it, write a script and get started..."

"No Man's Land" is not a classic movie. The reason why the original time and space has attracted many people's attention is because of the four-year ban!After countless reviews, revisions, and bounced tickets, the audience's expectations and sympathy points are increasing...

As soon as they heard the ban, many people would subconsciously think that there should be "something" in this film, but in fact this film is really nothing
Bad luck, caught up with political events...

But if he wants to shoot now, it must be fine...

"Then I'll finish shooting "One Shot to the End" first..."

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

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

……

Chen Sicheng has actually acted in several literary films, "A Night Intoxicated by the Spring Breeze", and it was rumored that he had an affair with Qin Hao...

It's hard to imagine!
In fact, he is quite successful as an actor. His performance in "The Big Maid" is really good, and his talent in "Soldier Assault" is also good.

After saying hello, Shen Xudong introduced: "After Sicheng finished filming the TV drama version of "BJ's Love Story", he felt that it was not enough, so he is going 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 on a platter. I thought about it yesterday. I might as well find a few new directors to shoot with Sicheng, and each of them will make a short film..."

Chen Sicheng was puzzled: "Everyone makes one?"

"That's right... it's a platter movie anyway, how many short stories do you prepare?"

"4 to 5."

"Then find 3 or 4 directors to work with you... You will be the chief director, the director system!"

"...are there so many new directors?"

Shen Xudong was delighted: "We signed six directors last year. The company also has screenwriters and actors who want to switch careers to become directors. Romance movies are very suitable for practicing skills. Assorted movies, stars are the biggest selling points. Who do you want to invite, I will help you invite them! "

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

You... you kind of understand the audience.

Shen Xudong froze for a moment...

Brother Hu or Liu Yifei, it is easy to invite alone, but it may be quite difficult for them to appear in the same frame and act in a play!

It is impossible for Cai Yinong to let Hu Ge cooperate with Liu Yifei!
This woman is stingy, and she has always hated Liu Yifei until now.

But... It's really a good idea to find Brother Hu's partner Liu Yifei, so he nodded: "I'll help you invite..."

"What did you and Director Ning just talk about?"

""Flying Armor of the 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: "Yeah... I have the same feeling... I don't feel the nervousness of watching "New Dragon Inn"..."

Someone picked up on me, and Ning Hao got excited: "I think Li Lianlian is a bit too old! Why don't you ask Liang Jiahui?"

Shen Xudong explained: "Actually, "Dragon Inn" is Hu Jinquan's copyright, when Wu Siyuan prepared "New Dragon Inn", he chose Liang Jiahui as the actor Zhou Huai'an.

However, Jet Li's agent Cai Ziming approached Wu Siyuan and said that he also wanted to shoot "New Dragon Inn", with Jet Li as the protagonist, and asked Wu Siyuan to give him the project, and he was very strong.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" also aborted..."

"abortion?"

"Li Lianlian went back to the mainland to avoid the limelight, and returned to Hong Kong to form Zhengdong Films after staying for half a year! Moreover, the production cost of "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" alone exceeded 1 million, and it needs overseas markets... Li Lianlian is guaranteed! "

"It is estimated that "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" can exceed [-] million?"

"6-7 million, three Hollywood blockbusters next month!"

Hearing this answer, Ning Hao hurriedly asked: "I heard that the number of imported Hollywood films will increase?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, I have news, it is estimated that there will be an increase of 14!"

"It's 20 now... add 14, so that's 34?"

"Well, don't forget about it, basically blockbuster movies will definitely be imported into China...Next year, Chinese movies will be hard!"
