Coquettish Rebirth

Indeed, the idea of ​​being a director by himself filled Jia Hongjian's mind at once.

He thought about it carefully, it seems that it is not too difficult?Indeed, as a layman, he doesn't understand the lens techniques when shooting movies, but the problem is that he doesn't want to make a literary film, he doesn't want to make a huge film, every shot is a handicraft and a work of art. Foot movie!What he wants to make is a movie that can make money with a small and medium investment!In this case, how does he need to understand various professional techniques?Yes or no?His film is not for all kinds of professionals to see, not for the judges of various film festivals!He made this film for ordinary people to see!Ordinary people can see that the technique of such a lens is not well shot?Ordinary people just ask for the overall story to be interesting, and they just ask that the camera not be deliberately made incomprehensible when shooting, and that's it!

For example, for a chase shot, if you shoot it professionally, you may deliberately use a hand-held camera to shake the shot, that is, the character is running in front. If the photographer uses a trolley on the track to shoot behind, it will be very stable, but the photography The teacher will listen to the director's words, and use the camera on his shoulder to run along with the character, so the shot will definitely be very shaken.Such a shaking can enhance the tension of the picture to some extent, which is a technique.But who said you can't shoot without this shaky shot?Wouldn't the scene be tense if a movie lacked such a shaky shot?To be nervous can be done in various ways, through the expressions of the actors.Can be set off by background music, right?So speaking of it, even if Jia Hongjian doesn't understand the various techniques used in filming, can't we try to find other ways to make up for it?

And then again, when this film was filmed, Jia Hongjian didn't go up alone and acted as director and photographer. Isn't there a photographer who can discuss with him?Who said Jia Hongjian was going to fight alone?It's not even good to say that he was not satisfied with a certain shot halfway through the filming, so he couldn't call Nolan and Spielberg to ask?Who else knows what he asked?Didn't Jiang Wen once said that being a director is the easiest thing to do, but it's not easy to shoot.But it's usually too easy to shoot!A director can do nothing.When shooting, it can be hidden so that others don't know his depth, even years or decades!

Otherwise, why is Jiang Wen not happy to be a director?The reason why he doesn't want to be a director is because he doesn't care to be with a bunch of domestic directors who don't understand anything and only dawdle and make movies to fool people!From this point of view, to be a real director does not have to know a lot of professional skills.After all, the director is actually a bit like the leader of a project team. Does the leader need to know a lot of things?There are photographers who help with this and that.It's not easy for the director to shoot.Isn't it easy to shoot in general?Thus.At that time, while being a producer, Jia Hongjian will also be a director for the first time, and the subsequent films will be highly rewarding in the market.On the other hand, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Yuan's films are at a low level. How meaningful and touching is this sudden guidance?When the time comes, won't Jia Hongjian's awesomeness be revealed all at once?

Although Jia Hongjian is a low-key person, he is also a coquettish person at the same time!What do mensao people pay attention to?It's because we don't take the initiative to brag about ourselves openly, it's because we don't brag about ourselves!It's because we don't start all kinds of nonsense immediately after sitting at the table, it's not that all kinds of people who run the train say how many amazing people they know, or how many amazing people they are!We who are really awesome are the kind of people who can brag about ourselves?We are awesome, that's because we are being humble, saying that we are not awesome and that we are lucky, and then a group of people around say that we are really awesome!This is awesome!

So after thinking of this, taking advantage of the long negotiation period, Jia Hongjian, who had nothing to do, really started to plan how to make a film by himself when the time comes!First of all, what he decided on was not the lineup of the staff—relatively speaking, the cast was basically fixed, just some people from the original book.As for the staff, Jia Hongjian felt that there was no need to make an appointment first. There are too many people who can be used in this area, okay?And he doesn't want to make an international masterpiece, even such a film is too local, and it may not be favored even if it is released overseas or even in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In his opinion, the most important thing about such a local comedy film is that the book is good!In fact, "Crazy Stone" is good, but fortunately, although the actors are not well-known, their acting skills are in place, and they can really play characters.At the same time, the script is sincere. According to legend, it took the director 10 months to ponder such a script in history. Although it is an imitation of "Two Smoking Barrels", it is really interlocking, and it is really localized to the extreme. !Even compared with "Thailand", except that there are not so many jokes, the other overall structure is more brilliant than "Thailand"!

Jia Hongjian remembers the general structure of such a story, but he doesn't remember many details clearly. After all, the historical "Crazy Stone" was released in 2006, and it was 6 years before Jia Hongjian was reborn. How can he remember every plot and every scene clearly?Do you really think he is a computer?But it doesn't matter if I don't remember a little bit.Because "Two Smoking Barrels" is an "original work" that appeared in 98. If it is really impossible, Jia Hongjian took such a general outline of "Crazy Stone", and then compared it with "Two Big Smoking Barrels". "Smoking Gun" to fill in the details!Who said that we must strictly follow the original work of "Crazy Stone" when we make a film?It's roughly the same, it's okay to have discrepancies in details!

So, Jia Hongjian bought a train ticket, first went to Calais, France, and then changed a train and went directly through the British-French Channel Tunnel to England.After running to the UK, he didn't wander around too much. He bought a DVD of "Two Smoking Barrels" in a DVD shop on the street in the UK, and he returned to France.What is the use of buying this dvd?Look back!After all, this is the original work of "Crazy Stone"! The overall structure of "Crazy Stone" is designed with reference to this film!

After watching this film, Jia Hongjian really thinks it is good!Speaking of which, there are also former British football stars Vinnie Jones and Jason Statham in this film!What is "Two Smoking Barrels" about?The story is that the protagonist is a master card player on the street, and one day a group of bad friends came over, saying that they heard that there was a big game in a certain underground casino, and they said that they simply pooled money for the protagonist to gamble. At that time, I would definitely win a lot of money, and then a few brothers would get a point, how good would that be?How fast is the money coming?Isn't it more worry-free than cheating old men and old ladies on the street?

In the end, who knew that such a high-stakes game in an underground casino would be an old game!That's what the dealer designed to trap all the participants!So not surprisingly, the protagonist and his bad friends not only lost all the money they put together, but also owed the banker 50 pounds!Then the banker is still a black club, can they let them go cheaply?So the dealer threatened them that if they couldn't pay it off within a week, the protagonist and the bad friends would lose their fingers, and the protagonist's father's bar would also be robbed!

The sad protagonist couldn't do it, but when the protagonist returned home, he unexpectedly heard some movement from the next door—there was a group of robbers next door, and then such a group of robbers were going to rob a guy who grows marijuana .Then the protagonist suddenly had an inspiration—the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole are behind!Later, when the gang came back from the robbery, the protagonist and his bad friends did some mental calculation and robbed those people of the money they robbed, so there will be no pressure to pay off the debt, right?And how easy it is!In the end, they really got it!The protagonist and the others not only robbed the cash, but also robbed the marijuana that the gangsters had snatched from the marijuana growers, and then they went to sell the marijuana to a local drug dealer Who knew that the drug dealer happened to be the boss behind the guy who planted marijuana when he was a drug dealer!Isn't this guy going to be furious all of a sudden?In his opinion, the protagonist has robbed them of their money and goods, but now your sister is coming to sell our goods back to us?Isn't your sister too contemptuous?

So this guy brought a group of people to kill the protagonist and them, and then the robbers who were robbed by the protagonists on the other side also realized that the person who robbed him was next door!So when the protagonists didn't come back, this group of people also wanted to ambush, and then met the drug dealers all at once. When the protagonist came back, he only found that the two groups of people who killed each other were all dead. ...

This movie is very interesting, right?This is actually a bit similar to "Crazy Stone", right?They are all three gangs. In "Crazy Stone", the people from the handicraft factory are a gang, then Brother Dao and Huang Bo are a gang, and then the boss who wants to get the handicraft factory, who is played by Xu Zheng, is also a gang. It's a gang.Xu Zheng and the others hired thieves from Hong Kong to steal the jade, and Dao and the others stole the equipment of the thieves from Hong Kong, and they also wanted to steal jade. At the same time, the son of the director of the handicraft factory also wanted to steal jade!This is really a wonderful and hilarious story that is interlocking at the end!

We Jia Hongjian watched "Two Smoking Barrels", so we can refer to the movie to design the plot of Jia Hongjian's version of "Crazy Stone"?Even after reading it several times, we can even design a story with the same core idea but completely different details!It doesn't have to be a handicraft factory, it can be something else!
