Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 84 "Stone" starts, the director loses face!
May 5st, morning.

Produced by Andy Lau and Cao Jun, the film "Crazy Stone" directed by Ning Hao held a simple opening ceremony at Luohan Temple in Chongqing.

Although there were only a few media reports on the day of the film's launch, Cao Jun, who appeared at the film's launch conference, was soon spotted by many local entertainment reporters who heard the news.

Obviously, the appearance of Cao Jun, a popular male star in the mountain city of Chongqing, is bound to attract the attention of some entertainment reporters and local fans.

Since the entire story of "Crazy Stone" is still in a semi-covered state, the outside world only knows that the content of the film is related to thieves.

The reporter asked Ning Hao, "Is your film a remake of Feng Xiaogang's A World Without Thieves?"

Ning Hao became anxious when he heard it, and hurriedly explained: "How is this possible? Before the filming of "A World Without Thieves", my script has already been released."

"If there were funds to start filming, "Crazy Stone" would have met with everyone a long time ago."

Reporter: "Did you write the script of this movie yourself?"

Ning Hao nodded: "Yes, my script, originally called "Diamond", comes from a play I rehearsed in Taiyuan, telling the story of the police and the thief who stole the diamond. The police tried everything possible to catch the thief, but finally found the thief live next door."

Immediately afterwards, Ning Hao said to the reporter: "The main actors of this film have all been confirmed. Guo Tao, Fan Bingbing, and Tao Hong will appear in the film as the leading actors. Due to the problem of shooting schedule, I withdrew from the film.”

Ning Hao also told the reporter solemnly: "Among them, Fan Bingbing will play the girlfriend of a local thief, and Tao Hong will play Guo Tao's lover. Since the whole film is a 'men's drama', Bing Bingbing and Tao Hong will play relatively few scenes. .”

When the reporter asked, whether Andy Lau and Cao Jun, as the investors of the film, will participate in the film has been speculated by the outside world.

In this regard, Ning Hao also emphasized: "In order to show that Mr. Andy Lau attaches great importance to this film, he has called me many times to tell me that he will definitely play a role in the film, but what kind of role and how long will the performance be? The time will also be determined according to the schedule at that time.”

Regarding Ning Hao's remarks, Cao Jun on the side also sweated for him, and panicked for him.

"As for Xiao Cao, everyone is here now, and he is the producer of our movie. Do you think he will appear in this movie?"

At this moment, Cao Jun, who attended the opening ceremony as the producer of the film, was stunned by the brazen Ning Hao. In order to promote this film, this guy was so shameless that he just opened his mouth.

However, although Ning Hao is the director of this film, Cao Jun, one of the producers, is the most sought after by reporters.

In addition to being the producer of the film, Cao Jun also came to the crew with a learning attitude. One was to observe Ning Hao’s directing, and the other was because he had just received two commercial performances in Chongqing. Just right in Chongqing...

The reporter also followed Ning Hao's words and asked Cao Jun, "What role will you play in the movie?"

Cao Jun didn't want to expose Ning Hao's lies to his face. After all, he was in the same bed, so he said vaguely: "It depends on the situation. As long as there is a suitable role, I will consider it."

Reporter: "As a film producer for the first time, are you planning to enter the film industry as an investor?"

Cao Jun replied: "For the time being, I haven't thought about it so much. I invested in this movie because the script is special, and I also appreciate Director Ning's talent very much."

Compared with the laid-back Cao Jun, Xu Zheng is more restrained and serious. When he appears on the set, he always wears various hats, hoodies must be buttoned up, and he has to walk with his hands in his pockets and his head bowed.

Sometimes Cao Jun also felt strange, wondering why Xu Zheng walked with his head down when there was no one next to him, and the most common sentence he heard was not to take pictures.

However, as the two most famous stars in the crew, Cao Jun and Xu Zheng, who have similar identities and status, quickly got acquainted.

On the first day of filming, after walking around the crew, Xu Zheng found a strange-looking person, so he ran to the studio and asked Cao Jun, "Xiao Cao, what's the name of that buddy?"

Cao Jun followed the direction Xu Zheng was pointing at, knowing that he was referring to Huang Bai, and said with a smile, "Huang Bai, what's the matter?"

Xu Zheng asked uncertainly: "Is he also an actor in our crew?"

Cao Jun nodded: "Well, yes, the actor who played the black skin, otherwise you thought he came to the crew to move bricks?"

"If you don't tell me, I really thought he was a migrant worker." Xu Zheng joked, and then said with emotion: "Hey, the threshold for us actors is really getting lower and lower."

He looks awkward and has characteristics, which is Huang Bai's first impression on Xu Zheng.

The filming of "Crazy Stone" is not like Ning Hao's previous "Incense", this time it is a serious filming, with a crew of [-] or [-] people, not to mention some extras.

There are many places to shoot, and it is often necessary to quickly catch up with the next shot after shooting one shot.

Due to the lease of the shooting location, Ning Hao discussed with Cao Jun and Xu Zheng to complete the shooting of the Arhat Temple as much as possible, so that the remaining shots can be operated flexibly.

The Arhat Temple in "Crazy Stone" takes up more than half of the shots, which can be said to be the most difficult part. Ning Hao also wants to use all the initial passion of everyone on the difficult parts, and the rest is easy to talk about.

Cao Jun felt that Ning Hao's idea was right, so he asked the whole crew to start the horsepower, and cooperated with Ning Hao to finish the Arhat Temple first.

Life producer Fu Qiang and crew supervisor Zhang Lantian recruited extras and started shooting the first scene.

The filming started when Guo Tao felt dizzy after discovering that Jade had been swapped. This scene only needs Guo Tao to perform well, and Guo Tao said that there is no problem.

After all, I hoped to pass one of the first shots, and I was afraid of messing up, so I had to take the safest one.

On the corner of Guo Tao's eye, there was an injury from catching Mike, and his face looked decadent.

Seeing that it was ready, Ning Hao said: "Don't make mistakes in the dubbing of the opera. The group performers don't look at the camera, just treat it as a visit. Brother Tao, make the final preparations."

The director gave an order, and the crew quickly started the last inspection, and it was correct.

"Director, there is no problem with the recording."

"Director, the extras are fine."

"Director, the lighting is ready."

Cinematographer Liu Zhiyuan, who was shooting a film for the first time, also said: "The photography is ready."

Guo Tao took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, director."

Ning Hao stood up and looked at it again, and said: "Fight for one time, get ready, start!"

Ning Hao stared at the camera intently, looking at Guo Tao who appeared in the screen, and Cao Jun was also very concerned, whether it was studying or as a producer, he was very serious.

Guo Tao in the picture began to have tangled anxiety and doubts on his face, his face swayed from side to side, his eyes were concentrated, but a little loose, and he looked like he shouldn't be like this.

Then for about four or five seconds, Guo Tao fell backwards.

"Crack!" After falling back, Guo Tao had already appeared on camera, so he went to see what was going on ahead.

Ning Hao looked at it carefully, and said: "It's over, it's very good, make persistent efforts, and add one more."

The applause of "哗啦啦..." was a good start, and everyone let go of their worries.

The successful passage of the first shot, no matter whether it is superstition or strength, the people of Huaguo always have a good idea.

"Get ready for the next one."

After everyone congratulated, Ning Hao gave orders in an orderly manner.

In other words, the director is the soul of the movie, the existence that controls the overall situation. A good director can not only make the movie more outstanding, but also mobilize everyone's emotions in the theater. This is what Cao Jun needs to learn.

In addition, the dialect is also an excellent catalyst for the drama of the film. Brother Dao’s Baoding dialect, Heipi’s Qingdao dialect, plus the local Sichuan dialect, all kinds of dialects are simmering in one pot, greeting the auditory nerves of the audience.

Moreover, the dialect also has the effect of strengthening the character of the characters. Everyone speaks a different dialect. Cao Jun, who is used to speaking Mandarin, could not hear what they said clearly when he first came to the crew.
