Ning Hao and Huang Bo's "Crazy Stone" was not called "Diamond" at the beginning.
That year, Andy Lau wanted to invest in a small-cost movie, and Ning Hao was also eager to make a work, so he found Andy Lau, but he was embarrassed with the 3 million yuan he invested. So he changed the title from "Diamond" to "Crazy Stone".
But even with such tight budget, he wanted to hire some star actors to star.
Huang Bo was still running dragon sets in the crew at that time, as soon as he heard that the supervising producer was Andy Lau, the script was very unique, and there were also roles suitable for him, and he negotiated a salary of ten thousand yuan and ran away.
Then, Wang Xun, who is known as the "Top Ten Laughing Stars of Bashu", knew that it was a movie made by Andy Lau and came to audition. Wang Xun's "dragging" expression during the audition made Ning Hao feel that he was very suitable for one of the roles, so he directly decided on the candidate.
At that time, Guo Tao was already a little famous, he felt that the script was good, and directly agreed to play the male number one, with a salary of 100,000 yuan, playing Bao Shihong, who was responsible for guarding the priceless jade.
Finally, the actor Liu Hua, playing Dao Ge, under the repeated invitations of Ning Hao, finally took over the scene with a salary of 25,000 yuan.
The montage of "Crazy Stone" is quite interesting.
The film as a whole uses cross-telling stories, three clues sometimes connected, sometimes disconnected, dividing a period of time and space into three angles to see, greatly increasing the capacity of the film, but also making the details richer, especially in the second half of the film, the three clues continue to collide, the camera is quickly cut between the three perspectives, so that people dare not miss any detail, this tension is continuous montage can not do.
Compared with the montage is more interesting, the film begins, on the one hand is a white-collar worker in a BMW suit, on the other hand is the bankrupt factory director who is demolishing the toilet, one is shot up, one is overhead, with a strong hair difference to show the status of the two, and the seeds are sown for the later dramatic conflict.
At the end, the old bag in the toilet urine is full of water, the background is shouting him on the stage to receive the award, with sound and painting alignment to express the old bag's happiness about his prostate rehabilitation, the honor of the thief as a small thing, and finally urine out and before the urine can not come out is also a contrast, indicating that through this matter old bag accidentally solved his own mid-life crisis, from depression to relaxation.
As for the reproduction of the montage, the constant appearance of stones reinforces the theme over and over again, always reminding the audience of the importance of stones to the story, and letting the thread of stones run through the whole process.
To this day, looking back at the group of people in "Crazy Stone", it is inevitable to sigh: one is that 16 years have passed, and the other is that everyone's fate is different, and when they meet opportunities, some people can grasp it, and some people can't grasp it, thus creating a different life.
Andy Lau gave Ning Hao a chance, Ning Hao seized it, Ning Hao gave Huang Bo and others who were not famous at the time a chance, and these actors also seized it. From top to bottom, everyone tried their best to make this movie a good job, and the final presentation was indeed a rather classic masterpiece.
