The veteran takes action

Author: Pindao is very handsome

When it comes to who should be busy in Zhouyi, it's really hard to choose.

After all, whether they are female executives like Jiang Hong and Han Li, or female celebrities like Zhao Liying or Yang Mi, they are basically the type of hard-working threesomes.

So no matter who you choose, some people will probably be unconvinced.

But if we say who has the most leisure time, it must be Ning Hao.

You must know that even Gao Fei, who has always been indolent, basically maintains a work intensity of at least two dramas a year.

But what about Ning Hao?

Since filming "No Man's Land", he seems to have never touched the guide tube.

I spend the whole day either working as a producer for others or busy with other unimportant things.

As a result, after a few years, the only directorial work he produced was "Young China" performed by Gao Fei at the Spring Festival Gala last year.

Although the program director is also a director, the gap is too big.

For this reason, even Xing Aina stood by Gao Fei this time.

So Ning Hao, who was betrayed by his relatives and separated from his family, had no choice but to pick up the guide tube again.

However, there is an old saying that goes well:

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

Even though Ning Hao hasn't directed a film seriously in a few years, this guy's directing skills are indeed getting more sophisticated.

As soon as Fang took action, he directly grasped the key point of "Painted Skin 2".

…

"You can let me film it, but the crew has to listen to me."

As a veteran in the director field, Ning Hao knows the ropes of being a director.

If ordinary literary films are fine, as long as you are not as promiscuous as Jiang Wen, then investors will basically not interfere...unless they want to increase money!

Even if you have a mine at home like Jia Zhangke, you will feel more comfortable.

Because most literary and artistic films are low-cost and small investments. If you pay for it yourself, then naturally no one will care about how you spend it!

But the logic of commercial films is very different from that of literary films.

First of all, the investment in commercial films is basically much higher than that in literary films, so how to compete with the producer is a must-learn course for every new director who aspires to become a great commercial director.

Because commercial directors who don't ask for money or power from producers will never have any big prospects.

Ning Hao has a deep understanding of this point.

In Ning Hao's view, only when a director is greedy and aggressive in creation can his future have unlimited possibilities.

Of course, it is inevitable that there will be endless pitfalls waiting for investors.

Facing Ning Hao's "advancing", Gao Fei immediately spread his hands and said casually:

"I have no objection...as long as you can convince Mr. Yang!"

It is said that although the investment in "Painted Skin 2" this time is 120 million, Zhou Yi's investment share is not much, only 10%.

Of course, if you include Gao Fei's portion of the film's salary, then Zhou Yi's share is 35%, which is about the same as Huayi's.

As for the sponsor, Fang Ning Film Studio is smaller than Huayi and Zhouyi, accounting for only 30% of the investment share.

However, although the share is small, the development rights for the sequel to "Painted Skin 1" are in the hands of Ning Film Studio after all, so Yang Hongtao still has a greater say in this project than the other two.

Therefore, it was not that Gao Fei didn't help Ning Hao, but that there were some things that Gao Fei was not comfortable saying and could easily cause misunderstandings.

Seeing Gao Fei's attitude, Ning Hao immediately understood, so he immediately stopped wasting time on him and turned around to meet with other leaders of the project team for a meeting.

And his method is also very simple, that is, to cut through the mess quickly and discuss the matter as it is.

…

In the Sheraton Hotel suite, Ning Hao took out several design sketches and placed them in front of Yang Hongtao and others:

"Everyone must know the specific status of this project."

"I think since we want to put old wine in new bottles, we must spend time on this "new bottle"!"

"But the story cannot be changed, and the actors are also from the same cast. What is so new about this 'new bottle'?"

As soon as these words came out, both Yang Hongtao and Chen Guofu couldn't help but nodded slightly, and they were quite satisfied with Ning Hao's eyesight.

Because the problem Ning Hao mentioned was exactly what they were worried about.

If this problem cannot be solved, the risk for the movie will inevitably be great.

Seeing this, Ning Hao immediately confidently clasped several concept drafts on the table with his fingers and said:

"So I think if you want to do something new, the key lies in the style of the film."

"Since the last one was a western with wild sand and sky, we can change the approach for this one and adopt a gorgeous and elegant Chinese style."

Having said this, Ning Hao immediately looked back with some pride and said:

"The style of ink and wash, the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword."

"The interweaving of black and white, red and yellow, and the combination of elegance and Zen make every frame look like a landscape painting."

"A movie like this, even if it tells a story about humans and monsters, I believe it is worth the movie ticket price of the audience!"

As soon as these words came out, the living room fell into silence.

At this moment, both Yang Hongtao and Chen Guofu could not help but be moved by Ning Hao's words.

I have to say that what he proposed is indeed a good idea.

This is like a chef who has limited ingredients and fixed seasonings, so he can only work hard on the presentation of the dishes.

After all, not all diners have a gourmet tongue.

It’s best to have all the colors, flavors and tastes, but if conditions don’t allow it, then trying your best to satisfy any of them is not a bad idea!

Thinking of this, Yang Hongtao couldn't help but nodded lightly.

At this moment, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, he had agreed to let Zhou Yi invest before, and now it seemed that those shares were not in vain.

Because Ning Hao's plan is basically the best option he has at the moment.

Compared to Yang Hongtao, Chen Guofu can only be envious.

After all, apart from Feng Xiaogang, Huayi Brothers really can't do anything with other directors.

Thinking of this, the wily Chen Guofu suddenly looked down upon Huayi's future.

For a moment, I couldn't help but feel like leaving.

However, no matter what Chen Guofu thought, Ning Hao finally relied on his strength to successfully take the lead in "Painted Skin 2".

In other words, from this point on, he can wander around as he pleases.

This made Ning Hao, who had been tricked by Gao Fei, finally couldn't help showing a proud smile.

After hearing the news, Gao Fei couldn't help but drink a glass of wine with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

After all, this "Painted Skin 2" is under the banner of "New Oriental Magic", so it naturally has some Chinese style characteristics.

For example, the early ink cartoon "Midi" was very good in Gao Fei's opinion, and it had the potential to stand on its own and start a new school.

Since there was no money to develop it at the beginning, it is not too late to carry it forward now.

Anyway, in today's film and television industry, interesting things like this are rare.
