The reason why "Crazy Stone" is good, in addition to the plot attraction and excellent shooting techniques, the wonderful performances of the actors can not be ignored, and several non-famous actors such as Guo Tao, Huang Bo, Liu Hua, Xu Zheng and Wang Xun have become famous through the film, and have embarked on the road of first-line actors and even big directors.
We must also not forget that "Crazy Stone" also has a large number of equally excellent supporting roles and dragon sets, some of them are professional third-line or even eighteen-line actors, some are non-professional actors who have been upgraded by dragon sets, and some are the crew, and even some local group actors have very distinctive performances.
First- and third-line and eighteen-line actors
1. International thief Mike plays Lian Jin
His original name was Lian Weijian, and he didn't know if he was inspired by Yan Yi in "In Search of Qin", so his stage name was changed to Lian Jin. He was the tenth batch of students of the wireless artist training class that year, and the number of them in that session was the largest, so the fame rate was not high, and the more famous ones were Andy Lau, Liang Jiahui, Qi Meizhen, Xu Jinjiang and Zhang Zhiliang.
Lian Jin and Andy Lau have always had a good relationship, so it is normal for him to get the role of this mike. The hapless Mike in "Crazy Stone" is a highlight, and his alien monk's unsatisfactory voice is once again adopted in "Crazy Racing". And Mike's mantra "I'll give you a lung" also became a buzzword of the year.
After "Crazy Stone", Lian Jin obviously took on more roles and could appear in movies like "The Founding of the Nation", but he didn't seem to have a very good work coming out, so he was very active, but the deepest impression on the audience was still "I top your lungs".
2. Xie Xiaomeng plays Peng Bo
Peng Bo is a native of Chongqing, a former actor in the Chongqing Repertory Theatre, and he was not famous in the country before starring in "Crazy Stone".
The role of Xie Xiaomeng is like Xie Ruolin in "Latent", a wave of indecency makes a deep impression. His natural sense of obscenity is almost like a natural performance, which is even more valuable to Peng Bo's acting skills. Xie Xiaomeng's name is said to come from Xie Xiaomeng, a Guangzhou buddy in Ning Hao's year, so Xie Xiaomeng used Cantonese when he called in the toilet?
What makes people awe-inspiring is that many of the beatings that Xie Xiaomeng suffered were real hits, not to mention that the filming time of the film began in autumn and winter, and his spirit of filming and playing with his life was even more precious.
Through "Crazy Stone", Peng Bo can also be regarded as a fire, compared to his own previous obscurity is already a fire. He later appeared in many big productions, such as "The Orphan of Zhao" in which he starred as the Duke of Jin Linggong and in "The Rise of the Great Qin Empire" as King Huai of Chu. It is said that he has gathered "six emperors".
In 2012, Peng Bo was almost killed in a car accident while filming in Shanghai. Now that he has returned full of blood, he has once again cooperated with Bole in the film "Beneficiary" supervised by Ning Hao.
3. Hou Shu, played by Jingjing
Hou Shu is also a Chongqing native, and when the "Crazy Stone" crew came to Chongqing to shoot, she had just graduated from the Meishi College of Chongqing University, and by chance she met Ning Hao and was able to enter the stone crew.
Jingjing as Dao's girlfriend in "Crazy Stone" does not play much, basically belong to the status of praise, Xie Xiaomeng, black skin, Xiaojun and Dao Brother around her to give birth to a lot of classic lines, of course, and the song "I love your dear girl", the reason why she is "praise", is because she does not have many lines but the role is equally important.
After "Crazy Stone" became popular, Hou Shu did not borrow much Dongfeng, although she also took some scenes and re-partnered with Peng Bo, but she has not been red.
4. Bao Shihong's wife plays Roland
This beautiful and gentle actor is actually a theatrical actor, her role is not much, but every time she appears, she can make the audience have a sense of solidity, and finally she listens to Bao Shihong say that the jadeite given to her is fake, but the picture of Wan'er smiling makes people a little moved, which is quite similar to the last scene of the movie "Dark War".
Roland did not continue to invest in the film and television industry after "Crazy Stone", and it is said that she married a colleague and later moved abroad.
5. He Brain Shell plays Wang Jianning
Wang Jianning and Xu Zheng both starred in "Crazy Stone". He was born in the 89th grade of the Central Academy of Drama, with classmates such as Da Tao Hong and Wang Jinghua, and Guo Tao was his 88th grade senior. Like Guo Tao, before starring in "Crazy Stone", he also belonged to the actors who made the audience feel familiar.
He Brain Shell is also a favorite character in the film, he and Bao Shihong are police academy classmates, still willing to help in the face of the relatively depressed old Bag, and even smelled the infrared detector head removed from the toilet.
The difference between Wang Jianning and Guo Tao is that after starring in "Crazy Stone", he still belongs to the actor who makes the audience feel familiar, after all, Guo Tao is the main actor and he is a friendly performance.
Second, the supporting role of the dragon set upgrade
1. Liu Gang, played by Sanbao
Poor Sanbao can be described as the most popular character in "Crazy Stone", his family is not good, he has a little weakness of the greed of small people, and he also likes to beat people with a belt, at least four times in the film, he beat people at least four times, and the people who were beaten under his "black hand" included Qin Fengshou, security guards, old bao and Xiaojun.
But in the treatment of friends, Sanbao is absolutely trustworthy, he is always the best wingman around the old bag, there is no ambiguity in the face of great right and wrong, and he is definitely a good buddy.
Liu Gang was said to have been a group actor at that time, usually doing security work, and was immediately attracted by Ning Hao to join the crew. He didn't take on much of a role after Crazy Stone, where he played a cop and most recently in the film The Beneficiary.
2. Director Xie plays Chen Zhenghua
Lao Xie is a relatively complex character in "Crazy Stone", a factory director who is incompetent but quite able to fool, a father who will not educate his son, or a factory leader with selfish intentions. This role is actually not very good.
Chen Zhenghua is also a group actor, he was originally the deputy director of a light bulb factory, after the factory closed down began to eat as a group actor mixed rice, by chance, the actor who originally wanted to play Lao Xie picked a pick, Chen Zhenghua seized this opportunity.
After "Crazy Stone", it is said that Lao Xie also took on a lot of plays, but they are still small roles, which is already a big breakthrough compared to himself. He also appears in the "Beneficiary" movie.
3. Actors served by the crew
1. Xiaojun plays the screenwriter Yue Xiaojun
Xiao Jun is relatively a relatively low sense of existence in the theft trio, and the most brilliant is probably the scene of stealing the boss's woman and the uncivilized.
It may also be that this role is somewhat obscene, so Yue Xiaojun, who has a little lewd feeling on his face, is favored by Ning Hao. What is even more unfortunate is that Yue Xiaojun is actually the screenwriter of "Crazy Stone", which is equivalent to digging a pit for himself.
Yue Xiaojun, who came from a professional screenwriter background, also participated in the screenwriting of "Crazy Racing" and "The Great Golden Robbery", and also played the homestay owner in "Heart Flower Road Release".
2. The fat security guard plays the live producer Geng Hao
This security guard is one of the more dramatic in the film, twice picking up Feng Dong without saying, and there is a classic line "Schlapner". I believe that fans, especially my Mao fans, must have almost spewed old blood when they heard him call Shevchenko as Schlapner.
The name of this eldest brother is Geng Hao, is this the origin of Geng Hao?
3. Jiang Zhigang, assistant director of the thin security guard
The director's assistant doesn't play much, but it sounds like an old Serie A fan. Now there are fewer and fewer Serie A fans, everyone is watching La Liga and the Premier League, but in the year of "Crazy Stone", Serie A is still relatively rigid, and there are many Serie A fans, which is also a feature of the era in this film.
4. The traitor actor recorded Wang Yanwei
The dealer's shot is only about a second, but its effect is huge, directly causing Mike's theft plan to fail. Playing this "important" role is the crew recording engineer Wang Yanwei.
5. Du Jie, the director of photography played by the bubble girl
There are many bridges in which this bubble girl appears, and it directly leads to the death of Dao Ge. His momentum when he came out with a baseball bat changed with The second of Brother Dao's car accident, proving that he still had acting skills.
Du Jie is not an ordinary photographer, he is a graduate of the photography department of the Beijing Film Academy, and he is zhang Yimou's apprentice. He has directed many popular films, such as "No Man's Land", "Crazy Racing", "Detective Chinatown", etc., and has also been nominated for the Golden Rooster Award and the Golden Horse Award.
Fourth, save money group performances
There are a lot of group performances in "Crazy Stone", but unlike other crews, the group performances of this movie are actually reused.
Not to mention the two little sisters at the front desk of the guest house who sniffed melon seeds and played with mobile phones, the state of the two of them was somewhat exaggerated but it was also a restoration of the gods of some front desk reception, and then associated with the front desk of the "Sculret" in "Crazy Racing", I feel that Ning Hao was not hurt by which front desk sister.
In the cable car, this aunt who complained about Xie Xiaomeng, the two twin uncles who practiced by the river, I believe everyone will have an impression.
Unexpectedly, when Sanbao crossed the balcony, the three of them actually got together to play mahjong, and the clothes of the three group actors were not changed, and the lines of the aunt were still those two words.
You can say that this is a coincidence, in fact, you can also say that it saves money.
In short, several second- and third-line non-famous starring actors, a bunch of eighteen-line small actors, several supporting roles promoted in group performances, a group of crew members plus the reused group actor aunts and uncles, "Crazy Stone" is to use this method of saving money to the extreme, making a legend in the history of Chinese cinema.
