In 2005, Andy Lau invested in a movie, but later regretted it, bluntly saying that he should not have invested so little in the first place.
This year, Andy Lau took out 30 million yuan and decided to invest in 6 works of newcomer directors, Ning Hao heard that there would be 5 million funds, and did not interfere with the shooting, felt that this matter was particularly reliable, he participated in this plan.
But by the end, Andy Lau only had 3 million left.
In the end, Ning Hao took over the 3 million and prepared to start filming "Crazy Stone". After all, the conditions are limited, and the actors' remuneration can be said to be the top of the door.
First of all, Huang Bo, although he was not famous at that time, but for one of the main actors of the movie, his salary was only 10,000 yuan, although the positioning given to him was male No. 5, but when watching this drama, it always gave people the feeling that he was male number one.
In addition to Huang Bo, Liu Huahuà's film remuneration is only 25,000, even Guo Tao, as the male number one, his film remuneration is only 100,000, which can not blame the crew for cutting the door, that is really no money.
In the face of this bit of remuneration, Liu Hua and Guo Tao refused without thinking at the beginning, and finally decided to act for the sake of the script, and Huang Bo did not complain at that time, even if it was ten thousand.
The actor's salary is also counted, and the belt of the pants is tightened when filming.
There was a scene of a luxury car crash, and director Ning Hao originally wanted to find a Ferrari, but because the compensation was far beyond the budget, they had to think of another car.
At this time, someone proposed to use a cheaper car, and then do a new point as a luxury car, but the production director Zhang Yu insisted on using a luxury car, otherwise the crash gap could not be shown.
When it came to the actual shooting, because it was a deliberate collision, the car risk was definitely not feasible, so no matter what kind of BMW was hit, the compensation was Ning Hao's business.
First a small collision, due to insufficient strength, there was no effect that Ning Hao wanted, so he moved his hands and feet on the car, planning to have a real "car accident".
Filming a car accident scene may feel nothing, but for a film with only Huang Bo's salary of only 10,000 yuan, this is a considerable amount of preparation for the collision.
During the filming of "Crazy Stone", director Ning Hao, in order to make the car accident the most real, but also to minimize the loss, deliberately hollowed out the body of the BMW before filming began.
So there was a scene of the car crash at the beginning, the collision was not over, and the actors were called, and then it was hit again, in order to keep one, and the result was another collision.
After the end of the matter, the next thing is the negotiation between the crew and the owner. The owner of the car saw that his car was crashed into this, and his heart was very angry, director Ning Hao did not have much nonsense, he should lose it.
Wave after wave, on the 34th day of filming, is also the end of the film's two car scenes. The crew found a car, and told the owner that it was going to crash, and the two sides were in agreement, but when it came to the actual shooting, the owner suddenly changed his mind.
One of the two car scenes is good, it is a scene of motorcycle flying cars grabbing bags, but the two scenes are connected, that is, after grabbing the bag, they are hit immediately after grabbing the bag, but after the first one is filmed, the owner suddenly does not let the crash.
The reason is that the negotiated good does not hit the glass, their own tempered glass will not let the collision, the crew intends to unload the original glass, press the plexiglass, how much to lose afterwards, but the owner always refuses to agree.
The scene has not yet been filmed, the crew will definitely not let go of the car, the two sides are deadlocked, and the angry owner will ignite and drive away.
In the end, the owner still insisted on driving the car away, the crew temporarily did not have the required vehicles, and it took time to find a new car, and the crew at that time could not afford to consume, so the two car-related shots were not filmed in the end.
After this matter was circulated, there were two theories on the Internet, one was that the owner temporarily asked for a price increase, and the crew did not do it, resulting in no negotiation in the end.
There is also a good way to say to the owner before shooting is to only hit the door and not hit the glass, but the shooting is temporarily changed to hit the glass, although these two statements have their own arguments, but as for who is right and who is wrong, it is impossible to know.
Some people say: no matter how poor the film is, it will not be 3 million, Zhang Yimou Chen Kaige casually shoots a "Wuji" and "Hero", all of which are tens of millions of hundreds of billions of smashes.
Ning Hao casually picked up some advertisements, and he wouldn't be so nervous, right?
Eh, you don't have to say, Crazy Stone did get a lot of ads, but one of the brands started to go downhill after this movie.
It seems that there are not many people who know this brand now, but it is the clothing overlord of the 90s, so when filming "Crazy Stone", the brand side took a fancy to the fledgling Huang Bo at a glance, and wanted him to have a verbal advertisement in the movie.
In the end, the film was well received, and the brand thought that it would have seen a sharp increase in sales, a doubling of performance, and a peak in life.
But the final result, the response is indeed quite large, but it is only a reverse gain. Since then, it has embarked on an uncontrollable downward spiral.
At that time, the reason was also very simple, Huang Bo's role in the movie was a small, and when people saw the brand worn by the small, they didn't want to buy it in an instant. This reason is really not thought of.
Just like a certain card now: one second, the news of social people wearing clothes to make trouble was exposed, and the next second, the data on the sales of goods fell by a thousand, to ask what is the reason? That can only be said to be the power of the wind outlet.
But turning back to say that Huang Bo wore the "brand", it is not a complaint against Huang Bo. Can only say that the timing of the reverse with the goods is not right, if put it now, I am afraid that this "brand" has already been handy.
"Crazy Stone" is the smallest of the 6 films invested by Andy Lau in 2005, but he did not expect that the investment of 3 million yuan and the shooting of 44 days.
But in exchange for such a good result, once became the most successful of the six films invested by Andy Lau, it is estimated that he also regretted that he did not invest a little more!
There are also many scenes in the film, which are based on real events in life, such as the part where Huang Bo deceives people in the car, which is the deception he has really seen in life, and the real liar performance is more realistic.
Finally, I suddenly thought of a question: if "Mix Your Road" is now invited by Huang Bo to do oral advertising, what will happen? Leave your answer in the comments section!
