Director’s Legend

In Huang Bo’s rental house, Shao Shuaijun met Ning Hao. Ning Hao was also a graduate of Nortel, but he was admitted to Beijing Normal University first, and then transferred to Nortel’s School of Photography. In 2001, his student film "Thursday, Wednesday" won the Best Director at the Beijing University Student Film Festival and the Silver Award in the Chinese University Student Film Digital Media Competition.

His debut work "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 Magic Film Festival. It's a new star in the ranks of directors. It's just that there are directors like him in the whole country, and there are three hundred if there are no one thousand people. It is estimated that no audience in ten thousand people has heard his name.

After receiving an invitation from the Huayi Brothers, Ning Hao agreed without even reading the script, rushed over from his hometown overnight and went to Huang Bo to read the script.

"Hello, Director Shao." Ning Hao greeted him cautiously when he saw Shao Shuaijun coming in. Although he is older than Shao Shuaijun, he is taught by those who have learned in no time. Shao Shuaijun is already a billionaire box office director, and his youthful and mature attitude puts him under great pressure.

Human temperament is inexplicable, but it really exists. It is like facing an ordinary person. The ordinary person will never care. But suddenly telling this ordinary person is the governor, I am afraid that he will not be so calm and will have to be restrained. It's true that status determines status.

"Hello, Ning Hao." The copyist stood in front of the copyee, and Shao Shuaijun blushed a little. Fortunately, his acting skills are good and he still looks extraordinary. "When you arrive, don't call me, I'll go. Pick you up."

"I just arrived in the morning and I didn't feel embarrassed to call you. Xiaojun went to the station to pick me up. He planned to go directly to the hotel of the International Hotel, but I wanted to read the script earlier, so I pulled Xiaojun here. I didn't expect to trouble Director Shao. I'm sorry to come here in person."

"What excuse me, I was boring to stay alone in the hotel. I just came out to stroll around. By the way, I've read the script, how about it? Are you confident that you can shoot it well?" Going directly to the subject, politeness is really not his style.

When it came to the script, Ning Hao's shyness was immediately put aside and talked endlessly. At the moment, a few people were in a rental room less than 20 square meters in Huang Bo, drinking boiled water and talking about old movies and new movies.

"Director Shao, I have watched "Crazy Stone". The movie is well shot and the story is well told, but there is one thing that I feel wrong. 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. The ending should be repaired. For example, the death of the real estate developer Feng Dong feels too dramatic and rash. Bao Bao It is enough for Shihong to give his wife a piece of jade, and he should not be arranged to capture the robber to win the prize..."

"I have considered what you said." Shao Shuaijun is very satisfied with Ning Hao. This young man has a love for movies. Many directors of "Crazy Stone" have seen it. When Shao Shuaijun talked with them, he found that most The director is just watching a story, and even looks down on this kind of movie in his heart.

Most of them hold blockbuster and literary films and refuse to let go, and despise the innovation of any film. Shao Shuaijun despises such directors. Ning Hao is not. Like Shao Shuaijun, his words reveal his support for film innovation. Such an attitude will inevitably allow him to create his own style in the future.

Considering the tone, Shao Shuaijun explained: "A film, regardless of its quality, needs to be considered whether the audience can recognize the film when it is launched. If the audience does not recognize it, it means that there is no box office. I am not a literary film director, I Filming is to make money. Therefore, I was filming "Crazy Stone" and considered the appetites of the audience. The comedy of Chinese movies has always been a Hong Kong-style movie. Then director Feng Xiaogang spent a few years training the Feng family Humor has only begun to sell at the box office. Gherich’s technique itself is sufficiently confusing, and coupled with deep criticism, whether the audience can accept it or the market can accept these are very critical questions!"

After Ning Hao heard it, he nodded embarrassedly: "Director Shao sees the problem far more profound than mine. I just made an axe at the class door..."

"No, what you just proposed is very good. Looking back, "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 Car", you can make good movies that go beyond rocks."

"With such a good script, I must make the movie well... By the way, can you ask, why did Director Shao give the script to me instead of shooting it himself? With the stone as the background, this racing car must be a big seller. Huh?"

Shao Shuaijun smiled and said, "I want to change my taste and shoot some other types of movies." With Stone's success, it doesn't make much sense to shoot racing cars. After all, it is the same type of movie.

Huang Bo curiously asked: "Director, what movie, is there no starring?"

"Haha, your image doesn't fit 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.

"Um." Shao Shuaijun was stunned, and then patted Yue Xiaojun on the shoulder, "Xiaojun, you must love your own business. The profession of screenwriting is very suitable for you. Remember, focus can only succeed."

Shao Shuaijun’s words are still euphemistic, and Huang Bo is more straightforward: "Just your sausage physique, bat-like appearance, and personality than me. If I can't act, don't imagine."

"Cut, that's because you don't know how to appreciate it!" Yue Xiaojun said flatly, "Director, what movie is it, I can't act with Huang Bo?"

"Science fiction movies, don’t ask, the specifics are kept secret for the time being. Ning Hao and Huang Bo, you all graduated from Nortel, can you take me in and stroll around Nortel? Back then, I was envious of those students who could take the exam. Go in."

To say that Shao Shuaijun is a young and promising successful person in film now. The most regrettable thing in my heart is that he has not been admitted to Shangxi, Zhongxi and Nortel, and he has never attended college. Especially in his previous life, the problem of academic qualifications has always made him look down upon him. You are embarrassed to speak out if you are a director, especially a young director, who is not from three famous schools.

"Nortel's gate is always open. People with long legs can enter. You don't need to sneak in. Go, let me show the director to visit and feel the sacred atmosphere of the university." Huang Bo screamed, and the four people locked the door and went straight. Run towards the gate of Nortel.

Shao Shuaijun has been to many universities. For example, when he was filming in Shancheng, he visited Shancheng University. Compared with the five or six thousand acres of Shancheng University, Nortel is much shabby, only occupying 105 acres, and any one of the four campuses of Shancheng University has completely exploded Nortel. However, there are not many Nortel students, currently there are only more than 3,000, and 105 mu is enough.
