China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

Chapter 205 Those who engage in art have a lot of eyes [13]

The inspiration for the story of "No Man's Land" actually came from when Ning Hao was filming "Green Grassland".

Facing the endless grassland at that time, Ning Hao thought that one day, he must make a black fable movie.

And after the box office hit of the movie "Crazy Stone", this idea in Ning Hao's heart became more and more intense.

That's why the high-spirited Ning Hao mentioned this movie to Gao Fei at the "Crazy Stone" celebration banquet.

Although he hadn't even finalized the script at the time, Ning Hao at that time was confident that these were not problems.

But unfortunately, reality slapped Ning Hao hard.

Yes, the success of "Crazy Stone" at the box office has indeed made him, a talented director, sought after by many investors.

However, in the eyes of investors, this can only mean that he can manage commercial films well.

In terms of art films, "Green Meadow" alone is not enough to convince these capitalists to pay.

That's why Gao Fei didn't immediately agree to Ning Hao.

However, the cold reception he received from the investors hit Ning Hao, who was a little overwhelmed at the time.

His originally hyperactive brain finally calmed down slowly.

So Ning Hao, who was a bit bloated, temporarily put down the idea of ​​filming "No Man's Land", and continued to write the script of "Crazy Racing".

……

But this moment, that moment.

Because of the excellent performance of the movie "Search" in Cannes, Ning Hao once again ignited the fire of literature and art in his heart.

After all, although he became famous for making comedy movies, it was just for survival.

In essence, he is still a literary youth after all.

So after returning from Cannes, Ning Hao stayed at home and wrote the story of "No Man's Land".

After several times of polishing, this is the complete story now.

But now when Ning Hao brings up this idea again, the investor's attitude is quite different from that of two years ago.

In the eyes of investors, Ning Hao, who has returned from the Cannes Film Festival with honors, has become a master of both commercial and art films.

Speaking of which, there is also a little credit for Gao Fei.

So when the investors were in place, Ning Hao called Gao Fei immediately.

At the same time, Gao Fei didn't know that Ning Hao had already secured investment.

Because at the moment he is concentrating on reading the script.

Although Ning Hao had mentioned this story to him before, it was only a few words.

Therefore, he is very curious at the moment, what kind of story is this story that Ning Hao has been reluctant to let go of.

……

It is said that the meaning of the word "no man's land" originally refers to a place where there is no human habitation.

Geographically, however, it has a different definition.

In our country, due to sparsely populated and mysterious, the desert areas located in Qianzang, Qinghai and Xinjiang are collectively referred to as the four no-man's lands.

And these places have always been the targets that many outdoor adventure enthusiasts are eager to conquer.

It's just that in Ning Hao's movie, he gave another definition of no man's land:
No man's land - a place where there is no humanity, only animality.

First of all, Pan Xiao, the lawyer who is the protagonist, not only failed to uphold the justice of the law.

Instead, he used what he had learned to help a leader of a poaching gang who poached the national rare bird, the Altai Falcon, and brutally killed a policeman to get away with it.

After the boss of the poaching gang was freed, he promised to pay the balance in ten days.

But Pan Xiao judged others by himself and didn't believe him at all, so he insisted that the other party use a red car as collateral.

So Pan Xiao, a lawyer who wanted to drive a new car back to the city from the desert in the northwest, was in danger all the way.

……

After Gao Fei finished reading the script, he didn't speak immediately, but couldn't help frowning and meditating.

Although the story is not very complicated, Gao Fei feels that Ning Hao seems to have stuffed a lot of things into it.

Just like what Ning Hao said in the script:

If good and evil are the two poles of the world, then the gray area in the middle must occupy most of the world.

At first, Gao Fei thought that Ning Hao wanted to express that when the law cannot touch certain places, crime will grow wantonly.

But after Gao Fei thought about it, it seemed that it was not that simple.

Although he seems to be saying on the surface that there is no "humanity" in the "no man's land", there is no difference between humans and beasts.

But in fact, isn't he discussing the nature of human nature?
Just thinking of this, Gao Fei suddenly shook his head with a headache.

Then he looked at Ning Hao helplessly and said:
"Forget it, no more!"

"You guys who are engaged in art have a lot of thoughts. I can see you clearly. You are the same as the fifth generation people... You are all full of bad things!"

As soon as Gao Fei said this, Han Li was stunned, but Ning Hao couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xing Aina at the side couldn't help but shook her head with a smile when she heard the words.

After all, as one of the screenwriters of "No Man's Land", she is probably the person who knows the story best besides Ning Hao.

She knew how much private goods Ning Hao had hidden in this script.

However, since the rise of the New Wave movement, art films have actually overlapped with auteur films to some extent.

Therefore, Ning Hao's doing this is actually a common practice in the industry.

As long as he doesn't let himself go like Jiang Wen, Xing Ai doesn't think it's a problem.

……

Seeing that Gao Fei had finished reading the script, Ning Hao smiled and said:
"How about it, are you satisfied? Do you want to play again!"

Having said that, before Gao Fei could answer, he saw Ning Hao with a smirk on his face and said:

"If you don't act, then I will find Xu Zheng?"

Seeing what he said, Gao Fei became anxious immediately, and immediately said:

"Who said I won't act anymore!"

As he spoke, Gao Fei stuffed his coat directly, and said with a rascal face:

"Pan Xiao belongs to me! Don't talk about Xu Zheng, it's useless even if Jesus comes!"

Seeing this situation, Ning Hao and Xing Aina couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After all, it was the first time they had seen Gao Fei with such a rascal appearance.

Of course, after the joke, the few people soon got down to business.

Gao Fei is very optimistic about the book "No Man's Land". In his opinion, this story is even more shocking than "Search", so he originally wanted to invest in one or two.

But he didn't expect that just after Ning Hao opened his mouth, China Film, Guangguang, and Bona would divide up the investment share of 1600 million yuan.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei had no choice but to give up.

But Ning Hao didn't treat Gao Fei badly, he also knew Gao Fei's current salary level.

So after it was confirmed that Gao Fei would join the crew of "No Man's Land".

He immediately contacted the heads of China Film and several other companies.

　Regarding the movie "No Man's Land", I found that everyone still has some questions, so I will briefly explain it.

　　According to the information I checked, when Ning Hao started working on "No Man's Land", the script was not a problem at all because he was endorsed by China Film Group.Otherwise, the radio and television station will not be able to pass the review, let alone give permission to shoot.

　　The main reason why the movie was locked in a small black room for four years was actually because of the timing problem.

　　"No Man's Land" was filmed in June 2009. Shortly after the filming, the producer actually announced at the Shanghai Film Festival that the film would be released during the 6 Spring Festival.

　　But it happened that in July 2009, the Urumu chess incident happened in Xinjiang! ! !
　　This is the most fundamental and direct reason why no man's land was shot.

　　Because there is no room for negotiation at all, it is useless to use China Film as a backer during that period of time.

　　Later, when the impact fades, there is room for discussion and deletion.Otherwise, there is no need to delete or modify it, and it is impossible to show it.

　　Therefore, it should be just superficial rhetoric to say that all villains in the movie cannot pass the trial.

　　The film was released later, although there were reasons for deletions and changes, but the more important time has passed four years.

　　Therefore, it is no problem to shoot in advance.

　　Of course, this is purely a family opinion, if there are any omissions, please do not blame.
