Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

In the previous life, someone commented that Huang Bo was a product of the "three noes"—that is, no height, no appearance, and no muscles.

At that time, the entertainment industry was full of waves and long legs, and Huang Bo was indeed a wonderful flower.

Some people say that if you are ugly, you should study more and don’t get involved in the entertainment circle with many handsome men and beautiful women, but Huang Bo is not like that—Huang Bo, who was born in an intellectual family and grew up in a government compound, is not at all what his parents hoped for. Growing up like that is only because his dream is to be a singer, not to study hard, go to university, or enter an institution.

Huang Bo, who was in middle school, often sang in bars and karaoke halls with a few like-minded kids, and became the representative of the out-and-out bad kids in everyone's eyes.

Huang Bo didn't care about this, and still pursued his dream of becoming a singer.

Huang Bo not only sang well, but he was also good at creating atmosphere on stage. The good boy brought back certificates one after another from school, and the bad boy Huang Bo also got certificate after certificate because of his ability to sing and create atmosphere. Zhang's Certificate of Merit - Certificate of Merit for various singing competitions.

Singing in a nightclub once allowed Huang Bo to earn the first fifteen yuan in his life, which undoubtedly strengthened Huang Bo's determination to become a singer in the future.

In the early 1990s, Huang Bo, who graduated from a technical secondary school, went south to Guangzhou and signed a contract with "Pacific Records". He wanted to show his talents and ambitions.

Mao Ningning and Yang Gangli, who were at the same time as Huang Bo, were made golden boys and girls by Dreamworks Records, and became popular all over the country, but Huang Bo didn't even have the chance to sing on stage.

There is no other reason, it is because Huang Bo looks too frustrating.

The road to signing with a record company failed, so Huang Bo had to go back to Qingdao and formed a "Blue Sandstorm" group by himself, and then traveled to most of China.

pity--

The blue wind and sand is also true to its name, like a strong wind blowing sand, the dust settles and the ashes are blown up, even though Huang Bo and others are singing in nightclubs at night and riding around on a broken bicycle to sell their records during the day than anyone else.

If Xu Cun hadn't appeared, Huang Bo's Blue Wind Sand would have disbanded immediately, and then Huang Bo and Xiao Ou had come together as in the previous life and stayed in Beijing to continue singing and promoting Huang Bo's own records. At the same time, Zhou Xun, Man Wenjun, Zero Point Band, Sha Baoliang and others who were running the venue at the same time became popular and then passed away, with ups and downs for several cycles, but Huang Bo was still nothing.

Sometimes life really is like this - if you don't give it a try, you'll never know the taste of despair.

Only at that time, Huang Bo, a hard-working young man, can realize that he is a joke in the eyes of most normal people, and then completely give up his favorite music to teach dancing and go to sea to do business.

Although Huang Bo is exhausted physically and mentally, he has not yet given up his music dream completely.

Of course, although Huang Bo is still dreaming of his music dream, he will not give up the performance opportunity Xu Cun gave him because of this. You know, there are many stars in Hong Kong, Taiwan, film and television, music and music. Why can't he, Huang Bo, also develop in film, television and music? Huang Bo could even imagine that when he became a famous movie star and came back to sing again, others would never ignore him like this again.

Let’s go back to Xu Cun.

A long time ago, there have been two voices in the Mainland:

The first voice is that Xu Cun has forgotten how to make a low-cost film, and only makes big productions that cost hundreds of millions, billions, or even nearly tens of billions.

The second voice is, since Xu Cun can go to Japan and Korea to make a movie with Japanese and Korean for Japanese and Korean, why can’t he make a movie with mainlanders for mainlanders?

With Xu Cun's current status, he can naturally ignore these voices.

but--

Xu Cun still enjoys the process of making movies very much.

In addition, Xu Cun happened to meet Huang Bo again.

Therefore, Xu Cun naturally thought of a very good comedy in his previous life - "Crazy Stone".

No matter how you look at it, "Crazy Stone" is the best comedy movie in the mainland in the last generation. Even if you count the Xiangjiang movies in its heyday, "Crazy Stone" will definitely be ranked among the best comedies in China Top 5 movies.

The only criticism of "Crazy Stone" in the previous life is that it used the routine of the British comedy movie "Two Smoking Barrels".

In fact—

This is nothing, after all, the vast majority of Chinese people have never watched "Two Smoking Barrels", so this does not affect Chinese people's love for "Crazy Stone" at all.

but--

This is only in China. Once "Crazy Stone" is put on the international stage, it will inevitably lose some points because it uses the routine of "Two Smoking Barrels".

But then again, even so, "Crazy Stone" won multiple film awards including the Golden Horse Award for Best Original Screenplay at the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards in its previous life.

This shows how successful the comedy movie "Crazy Stone" is.

Moreover, "Crazy Stone" in the previous life gave a bright light to the dark Chinese low-cost film market. It can even be said that "Crazy Stone" is definitely more meaningful to the Chinese film industry than its own value-"Crazy Stone" "Stone" is a purely commercial film for entertainment. It doesn't want to express any deep themes, it's just to entertain the audience. In contrast, mainland films have long lacked interest, and most mainland filmmakers are stagnant. Most mainland filmmakers believe that artistic quality is the only criterion for a film, thus greatly ignoring the industrial characteristics of film. If an industry wants to develop vigorously, it must have enough interests to follow, that is to say, all those who engage in it must make money and make a lot of money, so that more and more people will engage in it, just like The same as the Hong Kong movies before this.

Xu Cun plans to use "Crazy Stone" to teach mainland filmmakers how to make movies that meet the audience's taste, and how to use low cost in exchange for huge profits.

In other words, Xu Cun intends to set a benchmark for mainland commercial films.

In addition, unlike Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone", "Two Smoking Barrels" had to wait until 1998 to come out. Now it is only 1993, and Guy Ritchie may not have "Two Smoking Barrels" in his mind. The concept of "Two Smoking Barrels", and even if Guy Ritchie already has the concept of "Two Smoking Barrels" in his mind, and he can shoot "Two Smoking Barrels" as in his previous life, then Gehry will be the same in the future Qi's "Two Smoking Barrels" plagiarized and borrowed from the world's number one director Xu Cun's "Crazy Stone", not Xu Cun copied and borrowed from Guy Ritchie.

Therefore, Xu Cun quickly made up his mind to direct "Crazy Stone" himself!
