This star is too fierce

Chapter 422, get crazy!
On December 12, "Crazy Racing" premiered in Yanjing.

Ning Hao's friends in the industry, including Xia Yu, Liu Ye, Sun Honglei, Xu Fan, Hua Ma Yili and his wife, famous director Chen Kexing, famous screenwriter Liu Zhenyun, Taihe Wheatfield CEO Song Ke, Libona President Yu Dong, etc. all came to congratulate him.

Of course, the boss Lu Bu was also present.

In "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World", there are Yu Feihong, Xu Krypton, Jiang Wen, Yuan Heping and Zhang Jin. Taking two days off from him and Ning Hao will not have much impact.

First, the premiere is very important for a movie, as it can increase exposure and attention.

Furthermore, although the investment of 1000 million is not much, it is still money.

Therefore, if you can do it, you must do it, and if you can participate, you must participate.

"How does it feel to be a director for the first time?" Xia Yu asked Lu Bu.

"I used to 'watch' from the side, but now I'm 'doing' it in person. It's a big difference, but it's okay." Lu Bu didn't feel too special.

"I'll go and have fun some other time when I have time." Liu Ye really wanted to go there and see how the big scenes were shot.

"Come on." Lu Bu naturally would not refuse.

"When my drama is finished, I will come too." Xia Yu continued.

His schedule is quite full.

I have two films in hand, one is being filmed and the other is not yet filmed.

Currently filming is the comedy-romance film "Bangzi Tiger Chicken" starring Zeng Zhiwei, Liang Yongqi, and Tang Tang. What is not being filmed is the road comedy "Falling Leaves Return to Roots" starring Zhao Benshan, Song Dandan, and Guo Degang.

"By the way, how are you preparing Yuan Pan's music collection?" Lu Bu asked.

"It's all completed, and it's scheduled to be released on March 3 next year." Xia Yu replied.

Lu Bu and Yu Feihong have no restrictions on releasing albums. Anyone can sing as long as they want to.

Currently, those preparing albums at Mengjiang Studio include Xu Wei, Hu Shu, Zhang Liangying and Yuan Chuan.

To be precise, Yuan Pan's is a "music collection" called "Lonely Flowers" because it not only contains eleven wonderful and touching songs with the theme of loneliness, but also records of poetry readings and two dramatic electronic sound effects. It is also a recording of sixteen songs.

"There will be a book signing party, and we will all go and support it." Liu Ye suggested.

"It's necessary, I'll let someone arrange it." In Lu Bu's view, releasing an album is about loving music on the one hand, and making money on the other.

"Listen to the boss." Xia Yu put a smile on his face and said, "What about you, when do you plan to release your second album?"

"Maybe not." Lu Bu shrugged.

"Ah? Why?" Liu Ye asked in surprise.

"I have won all kinds of awards, so I don't want to pursue them anymore," Lu Bu joked.

"If you stop singing, it will be a huge loss to countless fans and the Chinese music scene." Xia Yu sighed.

"Let's see, it's not necessarily true." Lu Bu didn't say anything, but it won't be possible in the near future.

Soon, the premiere began, with guest host stars Jiu Kong (Li Farah) and Rong Xiang (Boss) appearing.

For this "Crazy Racing", in addition to continuing to select the four leading actors from "Crazy Stone", Ning Hao also selected 10 special newcomers from tens of thousands of actors. These people must meet three basic conditions , first of all, they don’t want handsome boys and beautiful girls, but special actors with personality and creativity; second, they need to be able to act or have acting potential; third, the main character needs to be able to speak a dialect, and the secondary character needs to be able to speak southern Fujian Mandarin; It took a whole month to select this group of new actors, who can be called "the best".

As well-known hosts in the variety show industry in Baodao Province, although they have hosted countless times and the scenes are bigger, they are still a little nervous facing the creative team and various media in the audience.

Jiukong was so excited that he almost cried. He said that it was his blessing that a clown host like himself could be cared for by the director. He was definitely lucky to participate in the filming of such an excellent film. Others would never invite him to star in it.

Rong Xiang said with a smile that for someone with his appearance to be able to star in the film, it really shows that the director has a keen eye for recognizing heroes.

Later, the two of them broke the news to each other.

Rong Xiang said with a smile: "Jiu Kong is the worst one in the film. Every team of us, except Xu Zheng, has the opportunity to beat him violently, so he is very miserable. He has to be beaten by us every day. There are many tricks, so I was surprised to see him standing here so healthy today, even though he was beaten so badly and was still disabled.”

Not to be outdone, Jiukong said: "Let me give you a little spoiler: Rong Xiang was blown into a roast pig in the end."

Then, other actors came on stage.

Huang Bo was the first to express his bitterness: "What impressed me most was that I had a high fever and had to go into battle for filming. This is not the point. The point is that I had a high fever and was beaten violently by Rong Xiang. I have been beaten countless times. , Of course, what’s very cool is that I also have the opportunity to beat others, the famous host Mr. Jiukong standing next to me, and I have many opportunities to take it out on him.”

The only lucky person who didn't get beaten was Gao Jie, who plays Rong Xiang's dog-headed military advisor in the film: "Every time I appear, I look cool and my movements are very agile, so the filming process was really enjoyable."

After hearing what he said, several leading actors shouted that the director was too biased.

In addition to being beaten, Jiukong also cried: "I was inhumanly tortured by the director in the film. I was fed cockroaches by the two stupid thieves Shuangbao and Bado, the 'Hengha Erjiang'. My whole body smelled like cockroaches, and I was left homeless for three days." Dare to get close to him."

Wang Shuangbao immediately retorted: "I don't think cockroaches are disgusting, but you vomited after being fed cockroaches."

He and Bado, two stupid thieves, are called "the best combination" by the co-stars. One is very funny and the other is very serious.

Wang Shuangbao, who often plays negative roles, left a "scary" impression on everyone. Huang Bo said that he was most afraid of him and did not dare to look at him. After hearing this, the other actors also followed suit: "Once after lunch, they The two of them were squatting across the street. Teacher Wang Shuangbao had a serious look on his face. When we saw his expression, it was really scary. We really admire the director. Teacher Wang didn't even have to act, he was already scary."

Ning Hao was also asked about his expectations for the box office. He has always been more interested in word-of-mouth, so he replied: "My movies are made for the audience, as long as everyone likes them."

Of course Lu Bu couldn't escape, but Jiukong and Rong Xiang were a little afraid of him and didn't dare to joke. Even when they asked for a very official evaluation of the movie, he also gave a very official answer: ""Crazy Racing" compared to "Crazy Stone" , the narrative technique is more creative and the pace is faster. It can be regarded as an upgraded version. Generally speaking, it will be more 'crazy'. I believe it will set off another wave of craziness."

The premiere ended in a joyful atmosphere.

On the first day it was released in the mainland, it scored 980 million at the box office. This is related to the good mass base laid by Ning Hao's previous popular "Crazy Stone", and there was constant laughter in the theater.

Soon, someone revealed the six hilarious points of "Crazy Racing" online.

1. Duplex. Xu Zheng, who sells the cemetery, boasted to Huang Bo, who came to buy the cemetery, that their cemetery not only has a villa but also a duplex CBD. When Huang Bo was puzzled: "How can the cemetery be duplex?", Xu Zheng's explanation was very annoying. : “Ours extends one level downward.”

2. Five fingers. The fat boss of the Oolong Gang from Baodao Province has had two fingers chopped off, but when he wanted to indicate the number "5", he actually raised two fingers of his other hand to count, which is hilarious. laugh.

3. Professionalism. Two gangsters who claimed to be professional killers could not be cruel when killing people, so one of them encouraged his partners, "We have to do something and love something." After they witnessed Li Farah killing his wife, they said: " We are professionals and can't do anything, so how can you, a layman, be so cruel?"

4. Urn. In a taxi, several vicious gangsters took turns opening the urn to taste it. The driver was so frightened that he couldn't help but laugh wildly.

5. Ice pimples. The Muay Thai master with extraordinary skills was accidentally hit by two stupid thieves and froze in a refrigerated truck. Before he died, he put on the police uniform in the car and tried to push open the door with his hands. Afterwards, he was frozen into an "ice pimple" maintaining the "push" posture, which is the most interesting prop in the film.

6. Even if the movie is over, you will be stuck in the theater to watch all the subtitles because of the funny plot of "Eighteen Friends" carefully concocted by the director.

"Director Ning, you are such a genius. You laughed so hard that my stomach hurt."

When he came to the set of "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World" early that morning, Lu Bu immediately praised Ning Hao.

Yesterday, when work ended early, he booked a venue for everyone to watch "Crazy Racing".

As a result, even the big guys like Chen Daomin, Chen Jianbin, and Hong Yinbao couldn't stop laughing.

"Second brother, if you say this, I will be proud." Ning Hao scratched his head and laughed.

He was very grateful to Lu Bu for his appreciation and trust. Not only did he sign him, he also readily gave him a budget of tens of millions.

The most important thing, and the best thing, is not to interfere in the creation, casting and filming.

"Based on the first day's box office, it can easily exceed [-] million," Jiang Wen said.

"Brother Wen, I'd like to lend you some good words." Ning Hao thanked him.

It’s true that he values ​​reputation more, but he also hopes that the box office will be good. After all, this is not his movie alone.

If the box office really exceeds [-] million yuan, he will be the fourth mainland director to enter the [-] million yuan club after Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang.

These names are still very important, and it will be easier to find investment in the future.

"It depends on how much power can be exerted in the first and second weeks, because after the middle of the month, "Assembly Number" and "Vote" will be released, and the impact of the two blockbusters will be very strong, basically squeezing the film schedule to the limit." Lu Bu analyzed.

"This is indeed a problem, but as long as the box office of "Crazy Racing" is stable, the film schedule will not be reduced too much." Xu Krypton interjected.

Although Feng Xiaogang's "The Night Banquet" failed both in terms of reputation and box office, his ability and strength cannot be underestimated.

Li Lianjie's style is still the same. Last year's "Fearless" was a global hit, and this time he teamed up with Andy Lau and Jin Chengwu.

Therefore, it is best to win enough box office before these two movies are released.

A few people chatted and laughed for a while, and suddenly a medium-sized truck drove to the periphery of the set.

Everyone's attention was attracted and they all looked over.

Wrong place?
Just as Lu Bu was about to call someone up to ask what was going on, he saw Liu Liang jump out of the passenger seat.

"Brother, Mara is back." Liu Liang trotted over and reported to Lu Buhui.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Who is Mara?" Xu Krypton asked.

"Come by truck?" Jiang Wen asked in surprise.

"Is it possible that there is a comma between 'horse' and 'pull back'?" Ning Hao asked tentatively.

"Haha." Lu Bu laughed twice and then explained: "It's a horse I borrowed from the Prince of Qatar."

"Where's Black Wind?" Xu Krypton blurted out.

Regardless of movies or TV series, whenever there is a circus, Lu Bu basically uses his own horse, and it is the same horse.

Black Wind's appearance and temperament are all first-rate.

The directors who had worked with Lu Bu also liked this horse very much, and even borrowed it from him for filming later, but he did not lend it out.

"I will play [Lu Bu] this time. Red Rabbit is a red horse, and Black Wind is definitely not suitable." Lu Bu replied.

"Forgot this." Xu Krypton smiled.

"Do you still have a relationship with Prince Qatar?" Jiang Wen asked curiously.

"We met during the Asian Games. It's not really a friendship. We just like each other." Lu Bu called Arzani not long ago to explain the matter. He wanted to try it and see if it would work. Unexpectedly, the other party agreed immediately. .

Shipping from Qatar to China is quite troublesome and costs a lot of money.

This was not included in the shooting budget, he paid for it out of his own pocket.

Because that bloody BMW is really good and worth spending the money on.

While he was talking, the horse master took the horse from the wagon.

Everyone was amazed when they saw its appearance.

Ning Hao: "Beautiful!"

Jiang Wen: "What a horse!"

Xu Krypton: "It really has the feeling of 'running thousands of miles and sweeping away dust, crossing water and climbing mountains, the purple mist opens, breaking the silk reins and shaking the jade bridle, and the fire dragon flying down for nine days.'"

The sweaty horse, formerly known as the "Arnuch Golden Horse", is a hot-blooded horse produced in Turkmenistan. It has infinite power and endurance and is suitable for long-distance riding. Because when its neck sweats, a red substance will flow out. It is bright red like blood, so it is called "Sweat-blooded Horse", and ancient Chinese literature calls it "Dawan Horse".

It is said that the number of sweat-blooded BMWs in the world is rare and the price is extremely expensive.

The coat colors of sweaty BMWs are not limited to maroon and maroon. In fact, there are many kinds. It’s just that the local colors of these two types will appear more bright after sweating, giving people the most like bleeding. .

Lu Bu said calmly: "It's not bad."

It is not impossible to find a red rabbit, but it would take too much manpower, material resources and time.

A three-point similarity is pretty good.

It's just filming, not family hunting.

"Wow, the hair seems to be glowing."

“The quality is very high.”

When Yu Feihong and Gao Yuanyuan put on their makeup and came out, they also exclaimed.

"Is this the legendary 'Red Rabbit among Horses' horse?"

"I've been with hundreds of crews, and I've never seen such a beautiful horse."

"Can't you get it if you don't have a million?"

"This quality is probably worth tens of millions."

"It's no longer a horse, it's a collection."

"Second brother, are you going to use it for filming? If you get injured, it will be a huge loss."

……

The other actors and staff who were watching were all talking about it.
