In October 2020, with the two works of "My Hometown and Me" and "Win the Championship", Huang Bo surpassed Wu Jing with a total personal box office of more than 16.5 billion, not only becoming the highest-grossing actor in the history of mainland films, but also breaking the record of the actor's total personal box office.
Huang Bo left a deep impression on the audience with his distinctive image and acting skills full of personality.
In "My Hometown and Me", Huang Bo's Guizhou dialect of "Oil Alas Foou" instantly brainwashed the audience.
And does that iconic bangs-toe feel similar?
That's right! It was "Crazy Stone" 14 years ago.
"Crazy Stone", which only took 3 million shots that year, directly exploded, creating a box office of 23.5 million, becoming the dark horse of the year's box office and word-of-mouth, and also allowing director Ning Hao and starring Huang Bohong to spread throughout China.
14 years have passed, and now when "Crazy Stone" is mentioned, the picture in it is still vividly remembered, and many viewers are obsessed with it, what makes "Crazy Stone" a classic of domestic comedy?
The opening 5 minutes have already established its status as the "king" of comedy.
The three brothers pretended to be a burglary from a moving company, and just went downstairs to find that the police were posting tickets. Afraid of revealing his deeds and about to attack the police, two cars crashed not far away!
He had just eaten the four eyes of the factory director's closed door soup, and was holding spray paint to write the word "demolition" to vent his dissatisfaction.
At this time, the car of Bao Shihong, the captain of the factory security team, crashed into his "don't touch me" bmw.
Bao Shihong's car glass was shattered by a can of Coke that fell from the sky, and when he got out of the car to see the situation, he forgot to pull the handbrake, and the pickup truck slipped into the four-eyed bmw in the blink of an eye.
Where did the Coke that fell from the sky come from?
It turned out that Xie Xiaomeng, the loser's son of the factory director, failed to seduce his sister on the cable car, and he lost his hand and fell down after being kicked in the back.
Four clues and four groups of characters are linked together by chance, forming an interesting closed loop. At the beginning, the clever setting of "Crazy Stone" firmly attracted the attention of the audience.
The subsequent story must be known to everyone, five groups of people and horses for a jadeite is you to fight for me, you chase me, and finally staged a very absurd story.
In fact, the whole story always revolves around "true" and "false",
The real jadeite fell into the hands of Dao Ge after being dropped by Xie Xiaomeng, but it was returned by the trio of thieves who did not know the goods.
Mike, an international thief with extraordinary skills, has been repeatedly teased by the unscrupulous trio of thieves, either by stealing the box or by deliberately ringing the alarm bell and scaring him into fleeing.
The policeman who called to inquire about the situation was treated by Xie Xiaomeng's father as a liar disguised as a kidnapper, and hung up the phone at once.
Sanbao, who thought he had won the 50,000 yuan jackpot, spent a thousand yuan to run to Beijing, only to find that the grand prize on Coke was fake.
These true and false events not only create a variety of unbearable jokes, but also allude to the unsatisfactory desires in people's hearts, and satirize the dilemma of people gradually losing their attitude and imbalance under the expansion of desire.
Xie Xiaomeng went to steal the jadeite in order to make a girl, but he put himself in the predicament of being beaten and kidnapped, and Sanbao not only did not receive the "grand prize" of 50,000 yuan, but instead put a thousand yuan into it. There is also Dao Brother, who hopes to make his "career" higher by stealing jadeite, but he did not expect to die in the end.
What is even more ironic is that the jadeite that people have been struggling with is finally treated as a fake jade by Bao Shihong and given to his girlfriend.
You must know that Bao Shihong was the one who had access to jade, but because of his dedication to duty and no desire, he was favored by fate. Not only did he take the real jade to send to the beauty, but he was also praised for capturing the national thief, which is exactly what "unintentionally planting willows and willows" said.
To say that the most memorable thing for the whole film is the last scene, Huang Bo, who was trapped in the sewer for many days, was hungry and hungry, snatched people's bread after escaping, and was chased on the ring road.
Behind the embarrassment, it is actually the helplessness of being wrapped up in desire.
After so many years, "Crazy Stone" still occupies the Douban Top 250 list with a high score of 8.5 points, which is inseparable from its in-depth portrayal of characters and analysis of human nature.
First of all, each character portrayed in "Crazy Stone" has a distinct personality, whether it is the motivation or behavior of the characters, they have their own unique way of expression.
"Bao Shihong", who is full of a sense of justice and adheres to his duties, "Dao Brother", who is eager to achieve success, "Feng Dong", who puts interests first and ignores life, and "black skin" who does things recklessly and without thinking, while leaving a deep impression on the audience, it also makes Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Guo Tao, Liu Hua and other starring careers turn red.
Secondly, behind the absurd black humor, "Crazy Stone" reveals the helplessness and pain of small people in the face of life's dilemma.
"Bao Shihong", who graduated from the police academy, can only work as a security captain in a factory that is on the verge of closure, and he is owed wages, not to mention, and the compensation for eight thousand yuan of car damage is even worse for him. The constant predicament made him live a very depressed life, just like he had prostatitis and wanted to pee but couldn't pee.
When people's efforts and actions are not rewarded in real life, they often fall into confusion, anxiety and pain. This complex and heavy emotion can resonate greatly while the audience laughs.
Starting from "Crazy Stone", Ning Hao's absurd comedy has always implemented Ning Hao's observation of human nature.
This is also why when I look back at this movie today, it is still very touching.
The "Crazy Trilogy" shows the little people's fascination with the sense of honor, "Bao Shihong" in "Crazy Stone" defends his professional dream and sense of justice after graduating from the police academy, "Geng Hao" in "Crazy Racing" does not forget his past as a professional racing driver even if he becomes a delivery man, and "Geng Hao" in "Crazy Alien" treats aliens as monkeys in order to fulfill his dream of "Monkey King".
"Hearts Blooming" shows how people can get out of their sadness and pain in the form of a road movie and finally reach a reconciliation with themselves.
"No Man's Land" uses the ultimate environment of good and evil to show how a person can let go of selfishness and return to goodness.
The Great Gold Robbery shows the conscience of people who are finally awakened in the face of great right and wrong through the counterattack of a small.
As Ning Hao continued to introduce new works, his personal influence gradually increased, and his black humor and criticism were also loved and recognized by the market. Today, Ning Hao has become a first-line director in China, and he continues to dig and support new people when he continues to cultivate his "bad monkey" culture.
"Crazy Stone" made Ning Hao's reputation greatly enhanced, and also made Huang Bo, who was lonely and nameless at that time, a hit. But Huang Bo did not "short-lived", and in the following 14 years, he honed himself wildly, and eventually became a powerful actor with both box office and honor.
After filming Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing", Huang Bo played the role of "Niu Er" in Guan Hu's "Bullfighting", he perfectly showed the transition of the role of "Niu Er" from unruly to the final compromise, and won the best actor at the 46th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for this film.
In 2013, he participated in Stephen Chow's movie "Journey to the West and Descending Demons", in which he starred in a crazy, almost obsessive "Sun Wukong" image.
In 2014, he showed a sad image in the abduction-themed movie "Dear" directed by Chen Kexin, playing the image of a father who lost his beloved son and searched for fruitless results.
In 2018, Huang Bo directed and acted in "A Good Drama" for the first time, with a box office of more than 1 billion yuan, which is one of the few successful cases of actors transforming into directors in the mainland.
In 2019, playing a male teacher who experienced a midlife crisis in "The Man Taken by the Light", Huang Bo vividly interpreted the troubles of middle-aged men in the face of confusion and temptation.
Today's Huang Bo, with his own strength and all-round acting skills, has become the mainstay of the show business circle and a well-deserved film emperor in the hearts of the audience.
Ning Hao, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng, the "Iron Triangle" who were originally connected by "Crazy Stone", are now the first-line celebrities in the mainland showbiz circle, and their friendship and glory will continue to be written.
