Chapter 225 Crazy Racing Premiere Next
Wang Zhengfei just hangs the name of a main creator. Only he knows that he just provides a skeleton of the script. Hanging the name of such a chief screenwriter also has a borrowed name, but he doesn't mind.
Anyway, it used to be like this. When he first debuted, he was shooting Immortality, and he also used Chen Daoming's fame to start the popularity of Immortality.
At that time, when "Imontality" was just released, in addition to the name of Wang Zhengfei, the legendary brother and the name of "Imontality" science fiction blockbuster, what was more important was the fame of Chen Daoming, Huang Xiaoming and others. Otherwise, it would not have attracted so many people to watch it at that time. The box office might be good, but absolutely Yes, it won't be so exaggerated.
After an interview, Wang Zhengfei and the crew entered the cinema one by one and sat down. The crew sat in the front row, while the audience and reporters sat in the back row as usual.
After a while, the film began to play soon. First of all, the LOGO of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau came up, and then the LOGO of Xingchen Printing, which Wang Zhengfei is very familiar with. Can you not be familiar with it? This was made by Wang Zhengfei himself, designed by him from head to toe.
The plot arrangement of "Crazy Racing" still adopts the multi-line narrative style of the movie "Crazy Stone".
The first line is Geng Hao, the protagonist played by Huang Bo. After being the runner-up by 0.01 seconds in a road cycling race, Li Farah, the producer of fake health care products, asked Geng Hao to shoot an advertisement. Geng Hao drank the bottle of so-called "kidney silver" containing various unknown substances provided by Li Farah during the advertisement shooting.
At the beginning, Huang Bo's bad face appeared. This time, most of the audience were still fans of Crazy Stone, and Huang Bo's excellent performance also left a deep impression on them.
When Huang Bo looked embarrassed and shot some "kidney silver" advertisement for the bad businessman Li Farah, the audience below began to laugh in a low voice. Compared with "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing" entered the play much faster.
Then, after drinking, he was taken by the master for a post-match urine test. After the urine test results came out, he was surnamed Chengyang, so Geng Hao was banned for life. After hearing the news, Geng Hao's master was extremely angry. He had a cerebral thrombosis attack. From then on, he collapsed in a wheelchair and could not move freely. After that, Geng Hao, the protagonist of the story, could only drive a frozen car to send seafood to earn some money to support himself and the master who was paralyzed in a wheelchair. Many calm days passed like this, but one day Geng Hao's master occasionally saw Li Farah and a group of people dressed in Superman clothes on TV and were still advertising his so-called new product "Super Man" in a stadium. Geng Hao's master was furious, so he trembled and wanted to stand up. Unfortunately, something happened, and he fell downstairs and died.
There are also a lot of jokes here, especially the advertisement of "super man", which is even more hilarious. The initial slogan was: "Super man, it's okay if you can't do it"; when Li Farah was chased by Geng Hao, the slogans lined up by those people became "men can't do it"; in the last game of Huanlu Island During the car race, the slogan of those people became "men are super good".
The plot progresses to the point that Geng Hao had to go to the stadium to ask Li Farah for his master's funeral expenses in order to bury his master.
This leads to the second line, the third line and the fourth line in the plot. A group of gangsters from Taiwan are trading drugs with a Thai drug lord in the athlete's lounge. Outside the stadium, the killer hired by Li Farah's wife was sitting in a frozen car cheated from Geng Hao to find a time to kill Li Farah. In fact, the two hired killers were hired by Li Farah to kill his wife before killing Li Farah, but Li Farah's wife paid more money than Li Farah's, so this The two killers in turn killed their husbands for their wives. At this time, Geng Hao failed to ask for money, so he fought against Li Farah. Such a scene attracted two meritorious police officers. The arrival of the police completely disrupted the drug trade in the lounge. When the Thai drug lord put on the clothes in Li Farah's car and ran away, he was hijacked by two killers as Li Farah. . The plot of the film developed here, so several groups of completely unrelated characters were entangled together.
The audience watched the shouting. Sure enough, this is the style of Wang Zhengfei and Ning Hao's movies. Several completely unintangled main lines are completely entangled.
Compared with the plot of the film, Wang Zhengfei paid more attention to the plug-in advertisements in the film. Although the specific number of sponsors has not been made public, it is certain that Crazy Racing, as a commercial film, the physical exchange and income of embedded advertisements have been saved by the film. Less cost.
Advertisers sponsor various props to the producers and provide free shooting places, which greatly reduces the production cost of the film. Secondly, advertisers obtain the right to place-in advertising through direct payment, so the producer obtains a considerable amount of income, thus reducing the investment risk of the film.
Wang Zhengfei didn't care about this, but he also knew that it was almost like this. In fact, he came up with this idea. In this era, not many people realized that inserting advertisements in movies was also a good way to avoid risks.
In fact, if "Qin Shi Ming Yue" is not really suitable for inserting advertisements, he must also insert advertisements in "Qin Shi Ming Yue", which can effectively reduce costs.
However, Wang Zhengfei just casually said something. Unexpectedly, Ning Hao did so well in the end that he could hardly find any intentional traces.
After a while, Wang Zhengfei was attracted by the plot again. Li Farah killed his wife by mistake, but blamed Geng Hao. The drug lord in Thailand was frozen to death in the freezer. At the same time, the gangster holding the dollar traded with Geng Hao holding the urn because of misunderstanding, and the two killers who got the drugs were chasing him because of the misunderstanding. Geng Hao's plainclothes policeman was the trading partner.
Basically, it is linked one by one, one after another, especially the funny sentences in the plot, which instantly a political axe to countless audiences. "Eighteen send a water black, it looks like a underworld, whether there is or not, what you want is the atmosphere, absolutely solemn, absolutely momentum Hong, send paper money to the mourning hall, one-stop funeral service, one-stop service... Such a good service, I work here every day, and I can't wait to give myself a set!"
"We are a noble community, with wind and water, underground CBD, and the back garden of life!"
Listening to countless applause after the movie, Wang Zhengfei knew that they had succeeded!
Next, the comments of major media have been released one after another, which is basically a piece of praise.
"Crazy Racing" is of greater significance to the enlightenment of Chinese movies that have been in a state of sub-healthy development. Under the existing market size and capital operation mode, "Crazy Racing" has undoubtedly made a fruitful attempt, and I clearly heard that this movie is on the faces of some people. Loud slap - stop looking for various excuses such as funds, censorship, distribution channels, etc. for your inferior movies, sincerity and talent are the most important." - "There are more than a dozen main characters in "Crazy Racing" that have a direct role in Volkswagen Fashion Weekly, all of which have distinct surnames. It is unforgettable, and everyone lives in their own behavioral logic, and there is a great contrast between these people's psychological motivations and external behaviors or objective encounters. The ironic comedy effect is obvious. For example, the four people who abide by the rules of the game are confused by various emergencies. Bay's professional gangsters, as well as the two stupid thieves who have just made their debut but have to show their professional quality everywhere, the two of them have dedicated a lot of jokes. The comedy factor on everyone's body is naturally generated with the progress of the plot. In terms of the way of creating comedy effects, Crazy Racing and Feng Xiaogang's movies are very different.
Most of the so-called "laughing fruit" in Feng Xiaogang's film comes from the sketches of the characters played by Ge You. The plot and character design in the film are basically creating opportunities and situations for Ge You to speak. It is worth contemptible that Feng Xiaogang has been using these since the "Editorial Story" more than a decade ago. The lethality of Wang Shuo's joke language is very limited, and Feng Xiaogang is still willing to enjoy it. If you pull away from these languages, you will find that this is not a comedy movie at all. Although the film is inseparable from language, it is not just a language art, otherwise crosstalk can be made into a movie. The existence of a film as a form of entertainment is bound to have its unique means and skills, which can bring people irreplaceable enjoyment, Feng Although Xiaogang's movie made some audiences laugh, whether it was spontaneous or wrapped up by the surrounding audience, whether it was because of the film itself or the psychological hint of Feng Xiaogang and Ge You's kidnapping of the audience!" - Popular movie "A good script is too important for a movie. Here in Crazy Racing, It really reflects the power of the script. The film still follows the plot route of Guy Ritchie's crime film. Under the guidance of a core motivation, several clues go hand in hand, and the event goes crazy in an irreversible situation. Wang Zhengfei's re-creation of this plot mode in Crazy Stone is very mature. When it comes to Crazy Racing, Wang Zhengfei finally achieved a comprehensive transcendence of this narrative style. The core props chased here have changed from one to two - cash and drugs, and two murders running through it. Around this, more than a dozen characters from the six forces are entangled together. This is not only the pursuit of the main plot, but also The side plot of any two forces pushing each other has a huge amount of information, which not only gives the audience enough enjoyment, but also challenges the audience's intelligence. The audience should make a quick and accurate judgment on the long-term and stage of the task motivation of the characters in the play and the attribution of the items, so the fun gained from it is geometric. The number has doubled. Obviously, those copycat movies that ignore the audience's IQ and only know vulgar spoofs are not on the same level as Crazy Racing. - Watching movies Compared with Crazy Stone, Crazy Racing is a group play. There are more than a dozen main characters, and almost everyone is outstanding. Although Huang Bo is the leading actor, there are not many scenes in the film, but his performance is still eye-catching. Geng Hao, a kind and domineering rough athlete, is more three-dimensional than the stupid thief in Stone. Like Bao Shihong (Guo Tao), who fights for dignity for the factory and family in Stone, Geng Hao's filial piety to the coach's teacher is the main line of the story of Racing. Such a humane setting ensures a trace of warmth and justice in the black comedy and avoids teasing cynicism.
Just like the black skin and Brother Dao in "Stone", the two stupid thieves in "Racing": "brother-in-law" and "brother-in-law" are also amazing. Wang Shuangbao and Bado, who play the second role, through this film, will certainly become the phenomenal laughter after Huang Bo and Liu Hua in the Chinese film industry. Star.
In this film, Wang Zhengfei's ability to control the script has been very concentrated, which makes us full of expectations for his next work, Qin Shi Mingyue. Although a novel version has been released, everyone is looking forward to seeing if Wang Zhengfei can make more of his own style. The story!" - Nandu Weekly.
"New director Ning Hao is another comedy film after Crazy Stone. According to the reaction of the audience on that day, Crazy Racing is a high-quality comedy film!" - News Network.
Of course, what surprised Wang Zhengfei most was that the news broadcast also broadcast "Crazy Racing News", which made Wang Zhengfei and everyone in Xingchen Entertainment stunned. News broadcast, they actually went on the news broadcast. It may be difficult for foreigners to understand that the status of news broadcast in China is indeed with the reform and opening up. In-depth, the programs of David TV are getting richer and richer, and the ratings of the news broadcast are getting lower and lower, but it is undeniable that the great influence of the news broadcast. Basically, the news broadcast is a national event and people's livelihood. Although the format is basically fixed, many people can write the manuscript of the news broadcast like a joke, but It's a big sensation to be on the news broadcast. Although it's just a sentence, it's enough to make Wang Zhengfei happy. Don't forget that there is still half of Wang Zhengfei's investment, plus 20% of the shares in Star Entertainment, basically in the final income of Crazy Racing. He alone can account for 60%, and even overshadows Gao Yan's income. Gao Yan can't do anything about this, which he had expected before the shooting began.
