Director’s Legend

() Luohan Temple in Yuzhong County, a mountain city, is the main shooting location of "Crazy Stone" this time, and it is also the location of Shao Shuaijun's earliest plan. As early as Zhang Xiaobing and others from the art team came to the mountain city, Shao Shuaijun notified Qi Wansheng, Zhang Chao, and Da Gang, the external producers, to book the use time of Luohan Temple for the next three months.

According to the instructions of the art team, the decoration team was invited to renovate the entire Arhat Temple. It was not until the filming started that the entire Arhat Temple was renovated.

Entering the shooting state, Shao Shuaijun set up camp in the Luohan Temple. The shooting of the Luohan Temple is the most important part of the whole movie, and Shao Shuaijun will personally lead it. In addition to the Luohan Temple, there is another important location, a hotel with a bathhouse, not far from the Luohan Temple, which is also under the management of Shao Shuaijun.

As for the other location shooting, Shao Shuaijun and Li Kai have already selected a location, and the rest of the shooting will be handed over to Li Kai.

The movie "Crazy Stone" revolves around a piece of emerald accidentally excavated from a factory toilet, and a confrontation between good and evil took place. Headed by Bao Shihong, the head of the security department played by Guo Tao, as a factory representative, he protects the jadeite for display. The real estate developer Feng Dongyi, played by Xu Zheng, is going to steal jadeite to bring the factory down in order to buy the factory land at a lower price. The Dao brother group played by Liu Hua, including Hei Pi played by Huang Bo, and Xiaojun played by Yue Xiaojun, simply want to rob the jade and sell it for a good price.

This is already three lines, enough to complete a complicated movie, but the reason why this movie has endured for so long is that two lines have been added in addition to these three lines. One is Xie Xiaomeng, the son of the factory manager played by Peng Bo. He is ignorant and specializes in body art. The other one is the thief Mike played by Lian Jianwei. Four Eyes played by Wang Xun, a subordinate of Feng Dong, contacted him to help the company steal jadeite.

These five lines are intertwined once, together with other short lines, which may be obvious or dark, and through various coincidences and opportunities, we weave a stunning black comedy.

For the original movie, the director Ning Hao relied on the Asian Rising Star Director Program sponsored by Liu Tianwang, and got 3 million investment, all of which were used to make the movie. There was no money for publicity, so he still relied on quality to win 23 million box office. Ranked in the top ten, becoming a dark horse through and through.

It can be seen that the success of the movie has a lot of skill in it.

If you want to make this movie well, you need not only directing skills, but also hard homework. The shooting time passed day by day, and the samples increased day by day. Shao Shuaijun looked through the previous samples almost every day, found out the shortcomings, and compared them with the original version in memory.

Eliminate the imperfections of the original version, add Shao Shuaijun's own ideas, and try to make the film surpass the original.

Shao Shuaijun is a typical workaholic. Once he started filming, he would sleep no more than four hours a day, either rehearsing for actors or watching samples.

"Huang Bo, yesterday's sewer scene needs to be retaken."

This morning, as soon as Shao Shuaijun entered the set, he yelled loudly. Huang Bo was playing with Liu Hua, when he heard the news, he ran over and yelled, "Why do we have to reshoot again, director, I have reshot three times, and now I want to vomit when I smell the sewer."

"I also want to throw up, but I have to retake the shot. The tension in the expression in the camera is incoherent. Come and see for yourself, experience it for ten minutes, and then retake."

This scene takes place in the sewer, and the content is that Hei Pi, played by Huang Bo, is about to enter the Luohan Temple from the sewer and steal the jade. But Bao Shihong, the head of the security section played by Guo Tao, had already noticed that a stone statue of Bodhisattva was pressed against the manhole cover.

What's funny is that Heipi's front foot went into the sewer, and Mike's BMW car on his back foot was pressed against the manhole cover, making Heipi unable to get out even if he got out. What's even more funny is that the thief Mike himself got stuck in the process of drilling the bellows, so no one drove the BMW away, and Heipi starved for three days in the sewer...

"Look, at the very beginning, you were excited because you wanted to go in and steal emeralds to make a lot of money. When the manhole cover in the Arhat Temple couldn't be opened, your mood became depressed, but because of the role of Heipi With a simple temperament, you can’t bring irritability when you are depressed. After climbing back, the manhole cover from here is also blocked, so you should bring a little irritability at this time.”

Pointing to Huang Bo in the screen, Shao Shuaijun began to analyze: "Look at this group of shots again, you are making a call in the sewer, but the mobile phone has no signal, you should be more distressed. The antenna stretched out, and I finally got through to Brother Dao’s cell phone. You can’t wait to explain your situation, because Brother Dao is a ruthless person. Mike's car was towed away, you finally climbed up, you have been hungry for three days, your expression should be weak at this time, you are so hungry that you can't think of anything and have no response..."

"Director, I understand what you said, but my expression looks ok. I even laugh when I see it. There is nothing wrong with it." Huang Bo was wearing a night suit with a bird's nest-like hairstyle , going to this stop makes people want to laugh.

"The individual links are very suitable for the occasion, but the movie is interspersed with narrative. As a multi-line story, it lacks tension when connected. Let me show you again, a sample I simply cut, and you can experience it again .” Shao Shuaijun released the sample, and Huang Bo watched it intently.

Only then did Shao Shuaijun turn around, picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Wang Yixue, you will take someone to shoot the next three sets of shots first. Sloppy, please rearrange Gu Xuan's scenes for me, and finish filming her scenes one day earlier. Send her back to study one day, and the crew can save some food expenses!"

"Understood." Sloppy replied loudly.

Gu Xuan, who was doing makeup in the corner, pouted and said to the makeup artist Yang Yang: "The director is too stingy, I am not in a hurry to go to school, but he is in a hurry, as if he is afraid that I will be poor."

Yang Yang is a female makeup artist in her thirties, teasingly said: "Then you grab him by the hand and grab his heart to see if he is still stingy."

"Cut, the director is not my thing. He puts on a face all day long, as if I owe him five hundred yuan. Looking at his situation, it will be difficult to find a partner in this life! Sister Yang, you still give him When he introduces a partner, he is overjoyed, and the air-conditioning on his body is washed away, so that everyone can live more comfortably."

"I'm not a matchmaker, and I only know you as a little girl." Yang Yang said with a smile, "However, I have been a makeup artist for several years, worked with many crews, and met many directors. A director as young as Director Shao is still When I saw it for the first time, I thought it was just a peddle, but I didn't know that Director Shao's sternness is no worse than those directors. Tsk tsk, it seems that being a director also depends on talent..."
