The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 66: "No Man's Land" review is stuck, Ning Hao wants to kneel
……

"Brother Dong, I heard that Gao Yuanyuan was badly scolded by Lu Zhiyuan. The whole audience was laughing at her, and she didn't dare to refute a word. It's so pitiful."

Ning Hao and Zhang Yadong huddled together and couldn't help but sigh.

As the saying goes, good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.

At the celebration party, Lu Zhiyuan complained about Gao Yuanyuan's makeup, saying that she looked like an "over-age girl."

This rumor spread like a tornado throughout the entire entertainment industry overnight.

Many female stars secretly applauded.

Who made Gao Yuanyuan so beautiful? Together with Liu Yifei, they are called "the two fairy beauties" and "the goddesses with two faces".

The young actresses who usually overshadow others and go for the pure style can't hold their heads up.

Now, Gao Yuanyuan was criticized by the famous director Lu Zhiyuan for being over the age limit.

From now on, she may not be able to get any youthful roles.

Otherwise, as soon as she appears in the list of leading actors, netizens will definitely make a huge fuss about [overage girl finding re-employment] and so on.

With just one sentence, Lu Zhiyuan almost tore the label of "pure goddess" off Gao Yuanyuan.

She’s already 30 years old, and she’s still a pure goddess?
"Gao Yuanyuan, she saved me from disaster. I owe her a favor."

Zhang Yadong couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

He knew that something was bound to happen at the celebration party last night, so he found a lame excuse and didn't go.

Hiding at home, he didn't dare to sleep, ready for something bad to happen at any time.

He wouldn't be surprised even if there was an earthquake.

Who knew, this cause and effect would come back to haunt Gao Yuanyuan.

It was really unexpected.

"Brother Dong, are you going to release your album yet?"

Ning Hao is bringing up something that is not related to the topic.

"In this situation, why bother releasing it? I'm afraid that once the album is released, I'll be criticized to bits."

Zhang Yadong still has to have some shame.

He has made a lot of efforts to restore Jing Tian's impression.

He had even gone to Xingguang Canlan several times, hinting to Zhao Shanshan in words and deeds whether there was anything he needed.
Let him atone for his sins.

However, Zhao Shanshan ignored him at all.

"Haozi, what about you? Your movie 'No Man's Land' has been completed. When will it be released?"

As a big name in the music industry, Zhang Yadong has earned enough, and he is getting older. The worst that can happen is that he can retire and enjoy his retirement.

But Ning Hao, as a director, is in his early 30s and is in the prime of his life.

"It just wrapped a while ago."

Speaking of "No Man's Land," Ning Hao suddenly became interested and gushed, "Brother Dong, let me tell you, this movie is awesome. I really put a lot of thought into making it."

"Before, people laughed at me for being a copycat ninja, imitating Guy Ritchie. But as soon as this movie came out, no one would say I was a Chinese Guy Ritchie anymore."

Ning Hao spoke so seriously that Zhang Yadong became curious.

As a good brother, he has basically seen all of Ning Hao's movies.

In this regard, he can only say that the netizens' comments are correct.

Ning Hao is the Chinese equivalent of Guy Ritchie. If he married the princess, they'd look even more like each other, a true clone!
But today, Ning Hao actually said that he had abandoned Guy Ritchie, which made Zhang Yadong full of curiosity.

"Brother, it's okay."

Zhang Yadong gave a thumbs-up and said admiringly, "With your own style, you're a master of your generation, irreplaceable in the market. In our music world, you'd be the next superstar!"

"Lu Zhiyuan, that guy, is just relying on his Palme d'Or win at Cannes to act so arrogant. If he wants to criticize Liu Yifei, he can criticize Liu Yifei. If he wants to complain about Gao Yuanyuan, he can complain about Gao Yuanyuan."

"If you have your own style, you can go to Cannes and Berlin, win an award and overshadow him!" Ning Hao blushed a little at what Zhang Yadong said.

No Man's Land doesn't imitate [Guy Ritchie].

After all, if you imitate someone every day, the audience will not only gossip about you, but will also get tired of you, which will affect your pace of making money.

This time, he changed his style.

Abandoning Guy Ritchie, they aimed at the cold style and social allegory of the Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men" and "Fargo".

But he made a localized adaptation.

Unless you meet an experienced film gourmet, otherwise, it is more than enough to fool ordinary audiences.

Everyone just thinks his style is awesome.

Relying on his talent as a copy ninja, he has tried many things and is very experienced.

There shouldn't be any accidents this time.

"Brother Dong, I need to take a call."

Just as Ning Hao and Zhang Yadong were boasting to themselves, feeling that they were about to take off, the movie "No Man's Land" was bound to be a hit.

At this time, he received a phone call and was completely dumbfounded.

"What...it didn't pass the review? Why? Why exactly?"

The style and narrative language of "No Man's Land" are not original creations.

The Coen brothers' "No Country for Old Men" and "Fargo" have not been banned in China.

"No specific reason? Just saying, the tone is too dark..."

Ning Hao stood there in a daze. This reason was too far-fetched.

He couldn't help but think of a horrible possibility and took a deep breath.

Turning to look at Zhang Yadong, Ning Hao couldn't help but feel his knees going weak and he wanted to kneel down.

"Brother Dong, how about we go over to Miss Jingtian's house and let her beat us up to vent our anger?"

"No Man's Land" has invested a full 3000 million!
The producer is China Film Group.

The background of this movie is so difficult that it can't pass the review.

It can be imagined that there must be an indescribable powerful person who took action and forcibly interfered with the operation of the laws of nature.

"Do you think she'll hit you just because you want her to? Who do you think you are? She feels dirty just looking at you now."

When Zhang Yadong heard Ning Hao's words, she was so angry that she laughed.

It's not like he hasn't tried this method before.

No one gave him any chance at all.

If you want to worship Buddha, two Vajras will stand at the door and won't let you enter the temple.

"Brother Dong, what should I do? I invested 3000 million in this movie, and if it doesn't pass the review, Zuo Shandiao will kill me!"

Han Sanpin, the CEO of China Film Group, certainly wouldn't kill Ning Hao so violently.

But Ning Hao knew very well that if this movie failed to pass the review and he couldn't get paid, he would be ruined!
A director who makes a commercial film but can't even pass the censorship stage can't even be called a waste, he's just garbage.

With this level of skill, you still want to continue being a director?
You're just overthinking it!

It’s better to change your career while you are still young!
The only way to solve this crisis now is to find a rich woman.

For example, marrying a princess...

"Haozi, what are you thinking about? Show me some respect! I told you not to let your imagination run wild! The princess is my sister-in-law, even if she is my ex-sister-in-law, she is still my sister-in-law!"

As if knowing what Ning Hao was thinking, Zhang Yadong couldn't help but scold him a few words!
