Real.
This is the phrase that Rhino Entertainment and the “Beneficiary” producer Ning Hao and the director Shenao listened to.
They not only said that they were very real, but the state they showed during the chat was also very real. Shenao sang “Wolf Disco” and greeted us, Ning Hao sipped warm water to make himself strong. This day is the Beijing premiere of “Beneficiary”. In addition to interviewing the media, the two people have to run the hall to the evening. Although they are exhausted, they must find a way to be mental. After all, today is an important day for them. .
“Beneficiary” is the first film of the Olympics and the third film of Ning Hao’s “Bad Monkey 72 Change Film Project”.
Time to return to the time when the two met for the first time. Ning Hao’s first impression of the Olympic bid is: “How can this director grow so handsome, why not be an actor?” The first impression of Shenao’s Ning Hao was: “This is a monk.” Ning Hao wrote the scriptwriter organization. Writing a script in a small building, he took a prop gun with a “No Man’s Zone” and spoke while talking. Shenao saw his thoughts: It is absolutely awkward to be able to walk around with guns and people to play the script.
Communicating with such a deaf person, I am sure that I will feel nervous without a reason. Ning Hao did not go to the studio a lot, but every time he went to the Olympics, he would have a feeling of “joining the teacher”. Once Ning Hao came to the studio to see the rough cut, Shenao thought that he must be next to it, but he did not arrive in time when he encountered a traffic jam. Shenao called his colleague and said, “You must not let go, let us say that we have a power outage. Or the hard drive can’t connect!” Later, the same fact can’t resist playing. Shenao rushed to the door of the studio and heard the inside of it.Hahaha’s laughter, a hanging heart is put down, ending a chat, Ning Hao is very satisfied with the effect of the work.
“Beneficiary” is a black humor movie, and Shenao and Ning Hao have different understandings of “black humor.” The Olympics believes that the meaning of “black humor” is ironic and tragedy. The core of the story is a story with a very tragic color, but it must be told in a satirical tone. Ning Hao believes that “black humor” needs to stand on people’s attitude towards crime, life and death. Ning Hao likes the story of “Beneficiary”. The story has a more extreme setting. The dramatic pull is relatively open. From the perspective of a crime such as marriage scam, it finally moves toward the emotional direction. The comedy contrast is relatively large.
As one of the “original pioneers” of China’s “Senior Director Producer + Newcomer Director” model, Ning Hao also talked about his views on this model: “The Beijing Film Academy has a school motto called ‘Sportsmanship’, formerly I The teacher is like this. He told us that it would be best if everyone can work together to solve some problems that can be avoided. The experienced director and the director who has no experience at the moment practice together. I think this is the most ideal. How to operate.”
Ning Hao admitted that after cooperating with so many new directors, he has not met any disagreement with whom. He believes that creation must first respect the creator. The supervisor’s job is to figure out what the director is thinking, and to help the director to be clear, rather than to tell the new director as the director’s idea. That is the communication between the two directors. Rather than supervising communication with the director.
The Olympics did not live up to Ning Hao’s expectations, and he could see many of his innovative and thoughtful thoughts in his creation. For example, the important scene in the movie, the bridge, when shooting the underwater battle, the water is very deep and the actors are easily injured, so the crew set up a 1:1 bridge in the swimming pool behind the hotel, the actors are actually in the pool. Finished the shooting of this scene. Shenao said with a smile: “Nolan is such a big director. When he filmed “Dunkirk”, he said that the trucks that were blown up were all paper-paper, so he would study him and spend a small sum of money to do big things.”
The scene can be fake, but the emotions conveyed must be true. Ning Hao feels that there is no elegance and vulgarity in art. For example, the well-received “Hello Beijing”, many people commented that Ning Hao is very vulgar to love the country, but he does not think so. Including many newcomers nowadays want to follow the pattern of “Crazy Stone” to make movies. Ning Hao thinks that there is a time in an era, there are many kinds of paths, don’t expect anyone who can become a student by learning, when moving this brain ,guide
