In Huang Bo's rental house, Shao Shuaijun met Ning Hao. Speaking of which, Ning Hao was also a graduate of Nortel, but he was admitted to Beijing Normal University first, and then transferred to Nortel's photography school halfway. He took the photo in 2001
The student film "Thursday, Wednesday" won the Best Director at the Beijing University Student Film Festival and the Silver Award at the China University Student Film Digital Media Competition.
His debut film "Incense" has also won many awards in various countries. This year's work "Green Grass" was selected for the Berlin Film Festival, Hong Kong Film Festival and Shanghai Film Festival. He is also considered a rising star in the ranks of directors, but the country is like him
There are only 300 directors like this, and probably no one in the audience has heard of his name among 10,000 people.
After receiving the invitation from Huayi Brothers, Ning Hao agreed without even reading the script. He rushed from his hometown overnight to read the script at Huang Bo's place.
"Hello, Director Shao." Seeing Shao Shuaijun come in, Ning Hao greeted him cautiously. Although he is older than Shao Shuaijun, he is a teacher to those who have learned first. Shao Shuaijun is already a billionaire box office director, and with his young and mature demeanor,
He is still under a lot of pressure.
People's magnanimity cannot be explained or touched, but it does exist. It is like facing an ordinary person. Most people will never care. But if you suddenly tell this ordinary person that he is the governor, you may not be so calm and have to tie up your identity.
It's true that it determines status.
"Hello Ning Hao." The plagiarist stood in front of the person being plagiarized. Shao Shuaijun also blushed a little. Fortunately, his acting skills were good and he still looked impressive. "When did you arrive? You didn't even call me so I could go."
Pick you up."
"I just arrived in the morning, I don't have the nerve to call you. Xiaojun picked me up at the station. I originally planned to go directly to the hotel of the International Hotel, but I wanted to read the script early, so I dragged Xiaojun here. I didn't expect to bother Director Shao.
I'm so embarrassed to come here in person."
"What are you sorry for? I don't want to be alone in the hotel. I just happened to go out for a walk. By the way, you have read the script. How do you feel about it? Do you have the confidence to shoot it?" Shao Shuaijun said in less than two words.
He went straight to the topic, being polite was really not his style.
When it came to the script, Ning Hao immediately put aside his shyness and started talking non-stop. At present, several people were in Huang Bo's rental house of less than 20 square meters, drinking boiled water and talking about old and new movies.
"Director Shao, I have watched "Crazy Stone". The movie is well shot and the story is told well, but there is one thing that I feel is inappropriate. I don't know if I can say it."
"But it doesn't matter."
"The irony is not enough, and the connotation is not deep enough! The Stone itself is a comedy, but I think it should be more profound, and the ending should be revised to some extent. For example, the way real estate agent Feng Dong died, it felt too dramatic and rash.
It is enough for Shihong to give his wife a piece of jade, and he should not be arranged to win the prize for bravely capturing the thief..."
"I have also considered what you said." Shao Shuaijun was very satisfied with Ning Hao. This young man has a heart that loves movies. Many directors of "Crazy Stone" have watched it. When Shao Shuaijun talked with them, he found that most of them
The director simply saw a story and even looked down on this kind of movie from the bottom of his heart.
Most of them hold onto blockbusters and literary films and refuse to let go, and despise any film innovation. Shao Shuaijun despises such directors. Ning Hao is not the same. Like Shao Shuaijun, he reveals his support for film innovation in his words.
His attitude will definitely allow him to create a style of his own in the future.
After careful consideration of his tone, Shao Shuaijun explained: "For a movie, regardless of whether it is good or bad, what needs to be considered is whether the audience will recognize the movie when it is released. If the audience does not approve, it means there will be no box office. I am not a director of literary films.
The purpose of making movies is to make money, so when I was shooting "Crazy Stone", I considered the audience's appetite. Comedies in Chinese movies have always been Hong Kong's shit-type movies. Then Director Feng Xiaogang spent several years cultivating Feng's
Humor has only begun to sell well at the box office. Guy Ritchie's method itself is confusing enough, coupled with profound criticism, whether the audience can accept it and whether the market can accept it, these are very critical issues!"
After hearing this, Ning Hao nodded sheepishly: "Director Shao sees the problem much more profoundly than I do. I just tried to do what I like..."
"No, what you just proposed is very good. Looking back now, "Crazy Stone" does have some shortcomings. The movie is over and we can't change anything. Therefore, I hope that in this "Crazy Stone"
In "Racing," you can make a movie that's better than a rock."
"With such a good script, I will definitely make the movie well... By the way, can I ask why Director Shao gave me the script instead of filming it himself? With a solid foundation, there is no problem that this racing car will be a hit.
ah?"
Shao Shuaijun smiled and said: "I want to change my taste and make some other types of movies." With the success of Stone, there is no point in making another racing car. After all, it is the same type of movie.
Huang Bo curiously asked: "Director, what kind of movie is it? Is it short of a starring role?"
"Haha, your image does not match the image of the male protagonist in this movie. The male protagonist must be at least as handsome as me!" Shao Shuaijun rarely boasted.
"Then...this...director, can you look at me?" Yue Xiaojun rubbed his palms and smiled charmingly.
"Uh." Shao Shuaijun was stunned, and then patted Yue Xiaojun on the shoulder, "Xiaojun, you have to love what you do. The career of screenwriter is very suitable for you. Remember, only by focusing can you succeed."
Shao Shuaijun's words were quite tactful, but Huang Bo was more direct: "You have a sausage physique, a bat appearance, and more personality than me. If I can't play the role, don't fantasize about it."
"Tch, that's because you don't know how to appreciate it!" Yue Xiaojun said flatly, "Director, what kind of movie is this that Huang Bo and I can't act in?"
"Science fiction movie. Okay, don't ask. The details will be kept secret for now. Ning Hao, Huang Bo, you all graduated from Nortel. Can you take me to sneak in and have a look around Nortel? Back then, I was envious of those students who could take the exam.
Go in."
Shao Shuaijun can be considered a successful young man when making movies now. The biggest regret in his heart is that he failed to get into Shangxi Drama, China Drama and Nortel, and never went to college. Especially in his previous life, he had always been prepared for the issue of academic qualifications.
If you are looked down upon, in the directing profession, especially for young directors who are not from three prestigious schools, you are embarrassed to tell them.
"The gate of Nortel is always open. Anyone with long legs can get in. There is no need to sneak in. Come on, let me show you the director and feel the sacred atmosphere of the university." Huang Bo shouted, and the four of them locked the door and went directly
Run towards the North Gate.
Shao Shuaijun has been to many universities. For example, when he was filming in Shancheng, he visited Shancheng University. Compared with Shancheng University's 5,000-6,000 acres of land, Nortel is much poorer, covering only 105 acres. Any of the four campuses of Shancheng University
They all beat Nortel. However, there are not many students at Nortel. There are only more than 3,000 students at the moment, so 105 acres is enough.
