my time as a director

Li Qian smiled and said, "This script is indeed not as good as Director Ning's Crazy series. If you don't talk about commercial factors, even if the reversal at the end of the movie adds a lot of points, overall it is not as good as Crazy Stone."

Such a record-breaking box office director who also won the only Oscar statuette in the Mainland admitted that his script was not as good as his own, which made Ning Hao a little embarrassed, and followed Li Qian's words.

"Actually, the reversal of the ending, and the role of Sinuo, reminds me of a sentence I said when I talked to a writer about the new book he was writing.

He said that in the eyes of adults, children are always simple, even if a child can tell a lie, the lie can be exposed immediately.We can never imagine the cunning of children, even if we have been children ourselves.

His book was about a child named Zhu Chaoyang who plotted to kill his biological father, his half-sister, and his two good friends.

In the end, he forged a diary. In the diary, Zhu Chaoyang was a simple child who kindly helped his friends. He didn't do any bad things, and everything was done by others.

In his book, Zhu Chaoyang's behavior shows that children are darker than adults. They understand that this world is not only beautiful, but also that they will do wrong things in order to protect their own things.

Like Si Nuo, in order to protect herself and get rid of her stepfather who plotted against her, she planned a good show that almost deceived everyone, so that no one would suspect her. "

Li Qian's eyes lit up, and he said with great interest, "This is a very interesting film. The murderer of the serial murders is a child. Judging from your description, this Zhu Chaoyang is not enough to be described as a genius."

If the guess is correct, this Zhu Chaoyang is the one in the hidden corner in the memory.

Both have half-sisters, and both have two good friends, both named Zhu Chaoyang, but the plot is different, which should have been adapted.

Ning Hao shook his head, "It's not just a genius. In reality, there is no such person. He is almost catching up with Conan. There is a similar plot in Keigo Higashino's White Night Walk. Xueho used Ryoji's sympathy to get rid of Ryoji's father and his father." With all the obstacles around him, Ryoji has borne all the crimes for Yukiho, but Yukiho has never touched himself, and many of the protagonists are children, planning a series of crimes."

It seems that Ning Hao has seen a lot of suspense, and it is not surprising, he himself makes suspense comedies.

However, Li Qian has never seen the White Night Walk he was talking about, but Keigo Higashino knows it, a well-known suspense writer.

"Director Ning, I actually studied your movies."

Li Qian didn't continue this topic, but instead talked about Ning Hao's movie, and Ning Hao was also curiously waiting for what Li Qian said.

"As one of the best comedy directors in mainland China, Director Ning's films are not as inspirational as Zhou's comedies. Previous Zhou's comedies are more like fairy tales for adults. A small person relies on his persistence in his dreams and his pursuit of happiness. The good desire, with the help of chance and coincidence, the right time, the right place, and the gods, realized the legendary story of counterattack.

Director Ning, the core of your comedy is not based on the counterattack of the little people and the ironic metaphors of the middle class, but on the basis of "the sense of honor of the little people". I remember Mr. Lu Xun said that if people do not have a sense of honor, All societies and civilizations would immediately vanish into nothingness.

So in Director Ning's movie, Bao Shihong, the security chief of the handicraft factory, in order to defend his career dream and glorious tradition of graduating from the police academy, fought against black and white, three teachings and nine tricks. be commended.

Geng Hao, a former cyclist who became a seafood delivery man, was accidentally involved in a blocked product transaction between the Baodao gangsters and the king of the country in order to buy a cemetery to bury his master. In the end, he would have a $20 urn in his possession Strange stories buried underground.

The international thieves from Hong Kong stumbled a lot in front of the petty thieves, local hooligans, and honest and honest security guards.

Du Xiao from the Treasure Island Kingdom, a domineering and arrogant gangster, capsized in the gutter in front of an unknown seafood deliveryman"

There is something else I didn't say, that crazy alien, you don't need to watch it is Ning Hao's film, no one except him will make this style of film.

In order to realize his dream and honor of being the "Monkey King", Geng Hao, the monkey-player, conscientiously sticks to his true nature as a monkey-player, and even develops the crazy idea of ​​training "alien" to be a substitute for monkeys. The agent toyed with applause.

Aliens from space can play around with Mi Lijian's agents, doctors, and diplomats, but they lose their magic power and are surrendered in front of the monkey tricksters and alcohol dealers in the mainland.

This is also a typical small person's sense of honor, the low wins the high, and the vulgar wins the elegant. This kind of dramatic reversal is the only real core of Ning Hao's comedy movies.

Everything else, whether it is black humor or caring for people, is all appearance and packaging.

Ning Hao, who was on the opposite side, heard that Li Qian analyzed him completely naked, as if he had overheard his inner thoughts, and felt an inexplicable horror in his heart.

Isn't it Li Qian, amazing!

However, the phrase "If people don't have a sense of honor, all society and civilization will disappear immediately", doesn't it seem that Lu Xun said it?

Ning Hao didn't think about it, but was filled with emotion. When he first filmed the big gold robbery, he asked Lei Jiayin about Li Qian, and later asked Huang Bo and Xu Zheng about Li Qian.

But now it seems that what the three of them said was too one-sided, and they didn't really understand Li Qian at all.

Hearing Li Qian say a lot, Ning Hao was also a little dazed, not knowing what he meant, nor what he should say.

To refute what Li Qian said is wrong?

Or should I say Director Li, you are amazing?

However, before Ning Hao thought of what to say, Li Qian didn't stop.

"But Director Ning, haven't you thought about changing?"

"Change?" Director Ning was a little puzzled.

"Correct."

Li Qian nodded lightly, took a sip from the teacup by the way, but he was thirsty to death.

"Businessmen, refugees, and urban proletarians are the characteristics of Director Ning's films, and they are also a breath of the city, but with the development of the times, they are no longer the mainstream, at least they are no longer the mainstream of the audience. "

Ning Hao frowned, "Why did Director Li say that?"

"Looking at the typical police and gangster films of Xiangjiang Films, the changes in the box office are clear."

Li Qian didn't say it directly, but gave an example, "In the previous Xiangjiang police and gangster films, the main characters were mostly from the market, grassroots policemen, undercover agents, and the underworld. .

However, these gangster films have a good reputation, but mainland audiences don’t like to watch them. Only Chills sells well, and Chills breaks away from the atmosphere of the market. The entire cast and story composition are much "taller", and the overall style of painting Also close to the metropolitan style. "

"What does Director Li mean?" Ning Hao frowned into a word.

Li Qian smiled, "The times are developing. In terms of commerciality, with the younger and younger moviegoers, the audience of market-style movies is a little lower. Think about it, if the 33-day romance is portrayed It is not the love of white-collar workers in the contemporary metropolis, but the love between the market, can it still sell for more than 6 million yuan?

Can the cold war filmed as a story about the grassroots police and gangsters become a work of salvation in the mouth of the Xiangjiang media?

Xiangjiang movies, as long as they have high box office in the mainland, are all beginning to lose the usual market atmosphere in the past.

The same is true for mainland movies. The roles are slowly changing from the bottom of the market, just like the changes in the mainstream moviegoing crowd.

The [-] million box office of Crazy Racing is relatively low in my opinion. Based on Director Ning's reputation among the audience at the time, plus the comedy genre and the Lunar New Year schedule, the box office should be at least [-] million or more! "

"call!"

Ning Hao, who walked out of the clubhouse, let out a long breath, and felt that his ears were almost ringing from Li Qian's words.

Being blown by the cold wind, my mind cleared up a little.

Looking down at the script in his hand again, Ning Hao smiled wryly.

For some reason, Li Qian made a fuss about him. First, he gave an analysis of him, and then there were a lot of "buts". He agreed to film Detective Chinatown by accident.

However, thinking of Li Qian's words and his films, it's good to change the style.

The new film Xin Hua Lu Fang, which he is preparing, intends to change the style of the crazy series. From the very beginning, he has clearly followed the route of commercial films, and has never pursued the so-called artistic style.

The creative concept of commerciality is consistent in his works, and the route of commercial genre films is also the direction he has been insisting on and exploring.

Now, at most, it's going in a different direction.
