After the release of "Crazy Stone" in 2006, a wave of "black humor" was set off.
Some people compare director Ning Hao to Chinese Gehrig, and "Crazy Stone" is a milestone in the development of Chinese black humor comedy.
And some people criticize Ning Hao, believing that "Crazy Stone" is just a reproduction of foreign black humor.
Three years later, however, "Crazy Racing" was released, shutting the mouths of those who questioned.
Compared with "stone", "racing car" is obviously more processed in terms of narrative, and the shooting quality is also incomparable to the former.
In the preliminary work, according to the crew, the script of the film was conceived for ten months, during which it has been discussed, revised, and discussed.
It is said that the film "Crazy Racing" has as many as 6 story lines alone, and even Ning Hao had to draw a "character relationship diagram" to distinguish the intricate character relationships in the film, so when Ning Hao and the main actors discussed at the shooting site, this hand-drawn character relationship diagram became the top priority.
Compared with "Crazy Stone", there are many ridiculous "famous scenes" in "Crazy Racing", which is still the source of laughter for the majority of netizens to this day.
Gangster fat people play mahjong to change the wind, kill the guide by mistake, eat ashes, the local gang will be too rude,
The gangster fat man is the big brother of Taiwan's Oolong Gang, who is ordered to come to the mainland to do drug trade with Thais.
Ironically, he is obviously a gangster big brother, but because of his strange ideas, he missed one opportunity after another and did a lot of absurd things.
On the receiving boat, one of the people on the boat wanted to eat black and kill everyone on board, and after the conflict, it was found that it was a misunderstanding.
The famous scene in the second act is sitting in the car eating ashes.
It turned out that Geng Hao, played by Huang Bo, and the gangster big brother mistakenly launched a deal.
The ashes of a master who died in the big brother of the gang are drugs that have been searched for a long time, and Geng Hao is regarded as a gangster.
He did not know that In Geng Hao's hand was an urn, which was not white powder, but master Geng Hao's ashes.
After knowing that he had been "wrongly" deceived, the gang boss couldn't bear to say that "the local gang is too rude".
It is really laughable, careful study of the plot will find that in fact, all the considerations of the gangster big brother are normal, but the timeline he experienced is completely disturbed, and all the ideal things are quietly changed, and everything is missed by mistake.
Xu Zheng incarnated as a salesman and hilariously sold the cemetery.
The difficulty of this scene is that the salesman played by Xu Zheng has to endure the grief of the death of the customer's relatives while pretending to be very passionate to launch an offensive against the customer.
Not only does it require the speed of speech to be fast, but it is also necessary to suppress the momentum, which creates the classic scene of Xu Zheng selling the cemetery in the film.
Two amateur killers: "Do a line of love and a line", "You are going to graduate school"
These two amateur killers are very different from the gang boss in front of them.
The gang boss may just be unlucky, and these two amateur killers have been lucky, but a good deck of cards has been beaten by themselves.
There are even many golden sentences that make the audience laugh.
The two amateur killers are played by Wang Shuangbao and Ba Duo, two authentic Shaanxi people who speak a native dialect and play roles in the film that deviate from the identity background.
Wang Shuangbao and Bardo duo not only starred in "Crazy Racing", but in the later "No Man's Land", the two played two truck drivers.
I have to say that the two can only exude a different brilliance in Geng Hao's film, the combination of ignorance and absurdity, the fusion of comedy and drama, although I don't know where Geng Hao found such a suitable combination, but obviously the two add a lot of color to the film.
What exactly does "Crazy Racing" mean to Ning Hao?
The film begins with racing cars, and finally racing cars, interlocking, it can be said that there are almost no flaws, in terms of handling multi-line narrative ability, director Geng Hao is also more and more at ease,
In fact, China has never lacked good scripts and directors, but it lacks an environment that can accommodate films to tell good stories.
In today's era when the film and television circle is wrapped up in capital, the weakening of creators' voice is inevitable, and it is increasingly difficult for them to exert their expertise.
Think about it, the famous scenes in those film and television films are almost all the products of the last decade or even before, and most of the film and television memes that are popular in various fields today are from that period.
Maybe that's the question worth thinking about, why do we have so many stories, but we always don't tell them well?
