1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 335 "Stone" starts up, big-name chicken soup for the soul!
From the start of the "Diamond" movie project, Jiang Xiaofeng hardly worried about it, because he believed that Ning Hao could use the 300 million he gave him to finish the movie.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng also made a suggestion for Ning Hao to change the name of the movie "Diamond" to "Crazy Stone".

Ning Hao also lived up to Jiang Xiaofeng's expectations, almost every time he found an actor, he would use the banner of "Jiang Xiaofeng" to win over them into the group.

For example, Huang Bo, he joined the crew of "Crazy Stone" just because of Jiang Xiaofeng's name.

Huang Bo's salary is not high, less than 1 yuan. Ning Hao originally thought that Huang Bo would refuse, but Huang Bo has just entered the industry not long ago, and he also hopes to participate in a movie invested by Jiang Xiaofeng. accepted.

At this time, Wang Xun was an actor in the Emei Film Studio.

That night.

It was already 12 o'clock when Wang Xun got home, and when Wang Xun was going to the toilet, he suddenly received a call from Mr. Chen Wei, the head of the troupe: "There is a movie that I like you, and it is a movie invested by Jiang Xiaofeng."

At that time, Wang Xun didn't quite believe it, thinking how Jiang Xiaofeng could find him.

However, Wang Xun, an insider like Jiang Xiaofeng, is still very familiar with and admires him. If he makes this movie, can he know Jiang Xiaofeng?
Thinking of this, Wang Xun came to the address provided by the other party to try out the play with a dubious attitude the next day.

But as soon as Wang Xun entered the room, he was dumbfounded. The small room was like a school dormitory, with more than ten people crowded together. A director in the middle held a camera in his hand and said to Wang Xun, "Come on, let's try the show."

Seeing this scene, Wang Xun thought to himself, how come he is one of the "Top Ten Comedians in Bashu" and has a certain influence in Chengdu, so he actually auditioned under such conditions, so he finished the audition with a look of impatience.

After the audition, Wang Xun also asked Ning Hao: "Is Jiang Dong Jiang Xiaofeng really invested in your movie? Why do I feel like you are liars?"

Seeing that Wang Xun didn't believe the crew, Ning Hao showed Wang Xun the information and the photo with Jiang Xiaofeng.

After Wang Xun saw it, he began to believe it.

As a result, what Wang Xun never expected was that the other party still wanted to sign him when he auditioned with a negative attitude, so Wang Xun entered the crew of "Crazy Stone" with this question.

It turned out that Ning Hao just fell in love with Wang Xun's "little man's success" state during his audition. This feeling is exactly the same as the characters in the script!
When the crew and some of the main actors basically arrived in Chongqing, but the lead role has not been decided for a long time. Some actors are hesitating, and some directly refuse. Even under the plea of ​​the assistant director Li Kai, they failed!
It wasn't until someone suggested to Ning Hao to invite the well-known Guo Tao at that time that Ning Hao decided to find the actor Guo Tao himself.

When the two met for the first time, Ning Hao gave Guo Tao the first impression that this was not like a director, but a farmer who was sucked from the mountains, dressed in ordinary clothes that could not be more ordinary, and he was not trim.

Guo Tao couldn't believe it at all, he came from the Film Academy, and even joked that Ning Hao was from the "Agriculture Department" of the Film Academy!

Then Ning Hao expressed his intention to Guo Tao and told him the story of the script for more than an hour.

Due to the many branches of the story, even though Guo Tao listened carefully, he still didn't understand it at all. After all, there are so many characters and so many story lines, no one can understand it, but even so, he was still taken seriously by Ning Hao. Impressed.

Therefore, Guo Tao said frankly to Ning Hao: "I'm sorry, I didn't understand, why don't you just give me the script!" In this way, Guo Tao participated in the film as the number one "big star" in the film.

May 10st, morning.

Produced by Century Film and Television Company and directed by Ning Hao, the movie "Crazy Stone" held a simple opening ceremony in Chongqing.

In order for Ning Hao to film with peace of mind, Jiang Xiaofeng, as the producer, also participated in the launch conference.

And Jiang Xiaofeng's arrival not only made Ning Hao proud and confident, but also made the whole crew very excited.

Originally, this was the launch idea of ​​the movie "Crazy Stone", but after Jiang Xiaofeng came, it directly became a fan meeting.

Many actors, including Guo Tao, Huang Bo, and Wang Xun, took advantage of this opportunity to ask Jiang Xiaofeng to sign a photo.

"Jiang Dong, can I take a photo with you?"

"Jiang Dong, you are more handsome in real life than you look on TV!"

"..."

Faced with the compliments and flattery of the leading actors, Jiang Xiaofeng was also very down-to-earth, almost never refusing anyone, and satisfied their request for a group photo.

Jiang Xiaofeng was also present and gave an inspiring speech to everyone.

"Everyone, make a good film and act with your heart. Although the production cost of our film is not high, I can assure you that our film will definitely be shown in theaters!"

"Moreover, I also promise to all the brothers and sisters present that I will spend a lot of money to promote our play. By then, many of you present will become famous because of this play..."

"Don't think that there is no hope for this drama without big-name stars. It is definitely not the case. The script of this drama is more exciting than many blockbuster movies. Our director Ning Hao is also selected by me from dozens of directors. the elite of the elite, the elite of the elite,"

"You must obey director Ning Hao's command. Don't think that this is just a play. Let me tell you that. Actors who perform well, whether they are leading or supporting roles, have the opportunity to sign into our company. Let's see if you can grasp it, brothers who grasp it, in the future, you will have a lot of opportunities to act in our company's movies and TV series."

"..."

Although Jiang Xiaofeng's long-winded speech was suspected of being a cake for others, his status and fame are still very exciting, and he also won applause and cheers from the audience.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaofeng was able to fly from Yanjing to Chongqing in his busy schedule, which also shows that he attaches great importance to the movie "Crazy Stone".

After the speech, Ning Hao walked up to Jiang Xiaofeng, and asked tentatively: "Director Jiang, can the production cost of this drama be increased by 100 million?"

"300 million is really not enough. There are too many places to spend money. The actors alone cost hundreds of thousands, and they are all relatively well-known actors,"

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Lao Ning, it's not that I don't want to give you money. If I had, I would have given it to you."

"You have to think about it, I didn't just give you 300 million. I gave 6 of you, 300 million each, which adds up to 1800 million."

"The 300 million production fee I gave you is just a base. After the film is finished, post-production, and publicity, it will all require money. It can add up to several million at random,"

"Besides, you're just a new director. It's not certain whether this movie can make money. I invest in this movie and let you be the director. I'm taking a big risk, you know?"

After hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's words, Ning Hao deeply felt the pressure Jiang Xiaofeng was facing, so he could only sigh helplessly: "Okay Director Jiang, I'm sorry, I'll think of a way myself."

Jiang Xiaofeng patted Ning Hao on the shoulder and said: "The poor have the poor, the rich have the rich, don't be bound by funds, I believe you can do it!"

Ning Hao felt that he was not very good at it, but he still bit the bullet and nodded.
