Luohan Temple in Yuzhong County, Shancheng City, is the main filming location for "Crazy Stone" this time, and it was also Shao Shuaijun's earliest planned location. As early as Zhang Xiaobing and others from the art team came to Shancheng, Shao Shuaijun notified the external producer
Qi Wansheng, Zhang Chao and Dagang took stock of the usage time of Luohan Temple in the next three months.
According to the instructions of the art team, the decoration team was invited to come in and renovate the entire Luohan Temple. The decoration of the entire Luohan Temple was not completed until the filming of the movie started.
When filming started, Shao Shuaijun set up camp at Luohan Temple. The shot of Luohan Temple was the most important part of the entire movie, and Shao Shuaijun had to personally take the lead. In addition to Luohan Temple, there was another important location, a hotel with a bathhouse.
Not far from Luohan Temple, it is also under the control of Shao Shuaijun.
As for other location shooting, Shao Shuaijun and Li Kai have already chosen the location, and the rest of the shooting will be left to Li Kai to complete.
The movie "Crazy Stone" revolves around a piece of jade accidentally excavated from a factory toilet, and a confrontation between good and evil. Bao Shihong, the security chief played by Guo Tao, is the leader of the factory, and protects the jade on display.
The group of real estate developer Feng Dong, played by Xu Zheng, steals jade to bring down the factory in order to buy the factory land at a lower price. The group of Brother Dao, played by Liu Hua, includes Heipi, played by Huang Bo, and Xiao, played by Yue Xiaojun.
The army simply wants to rob the jade and sell it for a good price.
This is already three lines, enough to complete a complex movie, but the reason why this movie is so enduring and successful is that in addition to these three lines, two more lines have been added. One is played by Peng Bo
Xie Xiaomeng, the son of the factory director, is an uneducated man who specializes in body art. In order to trick Brother Dao's girlfriend into sleeping with him, he did not hesitate to steal jade. The other one is Mike, the thief played by Lian Jianwei, who is under Feng Dong's command.
Four Eyes, played by Wang Xun, came forward to contact him to help the company steal jade.
These five lines are intertwined together, plus other short lines that may be overt or covert, and through various coincidences and opportunities, weave a stunning black comedy.
For the original film, director Ning Hao relied on the Asian Rising Star Director Program sponsored by Liu Tianwang and obtained an investment of 3 million. All of it was used to make the film. He had no money to promote, so he still relied on quality to win a box office of 23 million, ranking first in the domestic film box office of the year.
Ranked in the top ten, becoming a complete dark horse.
This shows that the success of the movie is very deep.
To make this movie well, you need not only directing skills, but also hard work. The shooting time passes day by day, and the number of samples increases day by day. Shao Shuaijun has to look through the previous samples almost every day to find out the shortcomings.
and compare it with the original version in memory.
Eliminating the imperfections of the original version and adding Shao Shuaijun's own ideas, we strive to make the film surpass the original.
Shao Shuaijun is a typical workaholic. Once filming starts, he sleeps no more than four hours a day, either rehearsing scenes for actors or watching samples.
"Huang Bo, yesterday's sewer scene needs to be retaken."
This morning, as soon as Shao Shuaijun entered the set, he shouted loudly. Huang Bo was playing with Liu Hua. Hearing this, he ran over and shouted: "Why are we reshooting again, director? We have retaken it three times. Now I am
The smell of sewer makes me want to vomit."
"I also want to vomit, but I have to retake it. The tension of the expressions in the shot is inconsistent. Come and see for yourself, experience it for ten minutes, and then retake it."
This scene was shot in the sewer, and the content was that Heipi, played by Huang Bo, was about to enter the Luohan Temple from the sewer and steal the jade. However, Bao Shihong, the security chief played by Guo Tao, had already discovered that he had pressed a stone statue of Bodhisattva on the sewer.
Hei Pi couldn't open the manhole cover, so he had to crawl back along the original path.
What’s funny is that Heipi’s front foot went into the sewer, and Thief Mike’s BMW with his back foot was pressed against the manhole cover, making Heitie unable to get out. What’s even more funny is that Thief Mike himself was drilling the air box in the process.
It got stuck, so no one drove away the BMW, and Heipi was hungry in the sewer for three days...
"Look, at the beginning, you were excited because you were going in to steal jade and make a lot of money. When the manhole cover in Luohan Temple couldn't be opened, your mood became depressed, but because of the role of Hei Pi,
You have a simple temper, and you should not be irritated when you are depressed. After crawling back, the manhole cover from where you came is also blocked, so you should be irritable at this time."
Pointing to Huang Bo in the picture, Shao Shuaijun began to analyze: "Look at this group of shots again. It's you making a phone call in the sewer, but your phone has no signal, so you have to be a little distressed. The latter group is you climbing up to the entrance of the well and putting your phone into the sewer.
Stretch out the antenna and finally get through to Brother Dao's cell phone. You can't wait to explain your situation, because Brother Dao is a ruthless person. You need to be very eager, but also cautious in your eagerness... And this last group,
Mike's car was towed away, and you finally climbed out. You had been hungry for three days, and your expression at this time should be one of weakness. You were so hungry that you couldn't think of anything or reacted..."
"Director, I understand what you are saying, but my expression looks OK. Even I laugh when I look at it. There is nothing wrong with it." Huang Bo was wearing a night suit and a bird's nest-like hairstyle.
, this stop makes people want to laugh.
"Individual links are very appropriate to the situation, but the film is interspersed with narratives. As a story with multiple threads, it lacks tension when connected. Let me show you a sample that I simply cut, so you can experience it again.
." Shao Shuaijun showed the samples and Huang Bo watched them intently.
Shao Shuaijun then turned around, picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Wang Yixue, please bring someone to shoot the next three sets of shots. Sloppy, please rearrange Gu Xuan's scenes for me. We'll finish filming her scenes a day earlier.
If we send her back to study in one day, the crew can also save some food expenses!"
"Understood." Ma Hu responded loudly.
Gu Xuan, who was putting on makeup in the corner, pursed her lips and said to Yang Yang, the makeup artist: "The director is so stingy. I am not in a hurry to go to school, but he is in a hurry, as if he is afraid that I will make him poor."
Yangyang is a female makeup artist in her thirties. She joked: "Then grab his hand and his heart to see if he is stingy or not."
"Tch, the director is not my cup of tea. He always puts on a face that doesn't let strangers in, as if I owe him five hundred yuan. Looking at his situation, it will be difficult to find a partner in this life! Sister Yang, you'd better give me
Let him introduce a partner, so that he can be happy and get rid of the air-conditioning on his body, so that everyone can live more comfortably."
"I'm not a matchmaker, and I only know you as a little girl." Yangyang said with a smile, "However, I have been a makeup artist for several years, worked with many crews, and met many directors. A young director like Director Shao is still
The first time I met him, I thought he was just trying to sell someone else, but I didn’t know that Director Shao’s seriousness was exactly the same as those other directors. Gee, it seems that being a director also depends on talent..."
