In 2005, Ning Hao was actually just an unknown little director. At that time, he also had a movie script called Crazy Stone, but he had no investors. Later, with the help of Andy Lau, the filming of this movie became possible.

The investment Ning Hao received back then was actually very limited. When funds were very tight, he invited Liu Hua to play the role of "Brother Dao". After several phone conversations, he was finally moved by his sincerity. Liu Hua agreed to play this role, and this movie also made several people famous. It is a very classic movie. Crazy Stone

Before filming the movie "Family Happiness", the director originally had no idea of ??casting Stephen Chow. After all, there had been rumors that the two had spent the holidays together before. When Stephen Chow was just a bit actor, he came to this company because he wanted a better future. The people in the company were very tricky towards him, and even because Stephen Chow had no authority, the director didn't even meet him. He was kicked out without even seeing him. Of course Stephen Chow will remember this shock for the rest of his life.

At this time, the film industry was in a recession, and many talented new directors had no investment at all and had no choice but to change careers. Therefore, Andy Lau launched the "Asian Rising Star Director" program, which selected young directors across Asia. Young directors help them make movies.

After Ning Hao heard about it, he found Andy Lau. After reading Ning Hao's script, he immediately gave him 3 million to film "Crazy Stone". Therefore, Ning Hao needed to save money.

Before director Ning Hao was preparing to film "Crazy Stone", he called Liu Hua and wanted to invite him to play the role of "Brother Dao". Ning Hao told Liu Hua that the film was It takes two months to shoot, and there are only thirty scenes. How do you calculate the salary?

Liu Hua thought about how he earned "100,000 yuan" in two months of acting in a TV series in Beijing. Filmmaking was not as heavy as a TV series, with more than 30 scenes "three days of fishing and two days of drying" It’s OK to ask for “100,000” and give “70,000 to 80,000”. Liu Hua said to Ning Hao, "Well, please tell me your maximum budget, and we don't want to cut each other off like buying groceries." Ning Hao said, "I'll give you twenty-five thousand."

< p>Liu Hua was stunned for a moment and said, "This is a bit bad. It's a bit shabby. Let me think about it." Then he hung up the phone. Three days later, the assistant director called Liu Hua again. When Liu Hua heard that, he didn't raise the price, so He hung up the phone again. A few days later, Liu Hua received another call from the assistant director: "Mr. Liu, please don't hang up the phone yet. There really is no second choice for this role. Director Ning Hao has already started working with the director of the film." They are all scolding, they want to replace Ning Hao and said that the only one is you. If you don't come, I think this movie will be a waste! "

The deputy director heard Liu Hua didn't say anything and said: "Why don't you just come to Chongqing to have fun, knowing that there are a bunch of little brothers who want to make friends for you. I know they are all good kids. Liu Hua asked casually, "Have you raised the price?" "Assistant director: "It's still 25,000." Yes, Liu Hua signed the movie just for 25,000! We are united

Later, Ning Hao found Guo Tao, and Guo Tao watched After reading the script, I agreed and sent an email to Xiao Tao Hong to ask her to take part. As a result, my husband Xu Zheng, who used the same email address as Xiao Tao Hong, saw the email. After reading the script again, he patted his bald head. Ning Hao volunteered and expressed his willingness to appear. When Ning Hao heard this, he was a little panicked and said directly to Xu Zheng: "If you want to come, I can only give you a red envelope. I really have no money. "

At that time, Xu Zheng, who was now somewhat famous, was trying to get rid of the shadow of "Zhu Bajie" and was eager to overshadow this shadow with the brilliance of a new character, so he replied: I came here for this story. Oh, don't talk about money, that's vulgar! Ning Hao is also very discerning and sent an invitation to Huang Bo, who is about to graduate from the "Nortel" dubbing vocational class, to star in "Black Skin"

300. With a budget of 10,000 yuan, how is the remuneration of the actors distributed? It can be said that it is unfortunate that the male protagonist Guo Tao has 100,000 yuan, "Brother Dao" Liu Hua has 25,000 yuan, and "Black Skin" Huang Bo has not asked for 10,000 yuan. Ning Hao's own director's salary of 100,000 yuan was also included in the movie. Now we look back at these actors and can't help but admire Ning Hao's vision. After Ning Hao became famous, he successively brought us "No Man's Land" and "No Man's Land". With popular film works such as "Beautiful Heart", he has become what we call a "genius director".

Conclusion

It is precisely because of a dream in their hearts and persistence in their original aspirations that the actors and directors shot this film perfectly, and the popularity of this film was also expected. In this film Here, we see the filmmaker's respect and efforts for a film. I hope they can stay true to their original aspirations and bring better works to the audience.
