想当年｜《疯狂的赛车》：10年前的宁浩

　　Editor's note: This is a nostalgic theater.

　　Ten years ago, when Huang Bo first played a role called "Geng Hao" in a movie directed by Ning Hao, he was still in the movie "Crazy Racing".The box office of Crazy Racing finally exceeded 100 million yuan, which was a great success at that time.Times have changed. The box office of Ning Hao's New Year's movie Crazy Alien has exceeded 1.8 billion yuan, which is enough to show the real growth of the Chinese film market.

　　In 2006, the movie Crazy Stone directed by Ning Hao created a box office miracle for China's low-cost domestic comedy movies.Crazy Stone skillfully blends popular culture with various jokes. Most humorous dialogues are drawn from daily life and reappear to the audience in exaggerated or even distorted forms after blurring the moral tendency. Efforts are made to present a familiar and unfamiliar situation in the movie, allowing the audience to feel the absurdity of fate at the same time of catharsis. In addition to laughter, the audience gets a feeling of surprise, happiness, helplessness and anger. The story is compact, cohesive, wonderful, unexpected and full of tension.

　　Success, of course, is a good thing to be congratulated. The problem is that after success, greater pressure will inevitably be felt.With Crazy Stone, the market and the audience have higher expectations of Ning Hao. Failure to meet the audience's expectations is failure.

　　"Crazy Racing" was originally named "Silver Driver". Of course, "Crazy Racing" is also very close to the content of the movie, but it can be seen that capital is not willing to let go of any sign of making money.

　　From the content point of view, "Crazy Racing" driven by commercial interests is also more obvious.The film continues the multi-clue narrative mode of "Crazy Stone" and creates stories based on citizens' lives, not forgetting humanistic care.The setting is more complicated and complicated than Crazy Stone, and the plot is entertaining and entertaining.Compared with "Crazy Stone", the characters in "Crazy Racing" are more different in multiple narrative clues. This kind of irrelevant people are twisted together by chance and accident to create funny stories. The bigger the gap, the stronger the dramatic effect, which is exactly where the movie "Crazy" lies.

　　In Crazy Racing, Cheung Yung (second from left) plays the boss of Taiwan's own goal gang.On January 25, 2013, 43-year-old Cheung Yung died of illness.

　　The movie "Crazy Racing" hero Geng Hao (played by Huang Bo) is a professional racing athlete. He lost by a thousandth of a second to win the silver medal in a race. He was lured by black-hearted businessman Li Farah (played by Jiukong) to drink three kinds of non-drugs and failed urine tests. He was banned for life and was paralyzed from the waist down due to brain congestion.Three years later, Li fara was so angry that he jumped off a building.Geng Hao did not have enough money for the funeral after he turned the master into a fire fighter and was ready to collect debts from Li fara.

　　Li fara planned to kill his wife and take money, spending 50,000 yuan to hire a pair of killers who were halfway decent.The killers planned to impound Geng Hao's truck for a car accident and were bought off by Li Farah's wife.

　　At the same time, four members of Taiwan's oolong gang came to the mainland to make a deal with a Thai drug trafficker who passed off as a Thai cyclist.On the day of the bicycle race, Geng Hao and Li Farah had an argument, which led to the withdrawal of the police and oolong gang. The Thai drug lord hid the drug in Li Farah's car and was ready to run away. The killer hired by Li Farah mistakenly believed that he was kidnapped .

　　Li Fala killed his wife by mistake, coinciding with Geng Hao's coming to collect debts. Li gave Geng Hao the money he wanted to buy and wanted to frame him.Geng Hao used money to buy high-standard funeral services. He accidentally discovered a Thai drug kingpin who had frozen to death. After reporting the case, he found that he was already listed as a wanted person and began to flee.In the middle of the trip, he encountered an oolong gang and mistook the other party for a funeral service worker.Several narrative lines were tightly intertwined until fleeing Geng Hao mixed into the bicycle race and competed with various forces for speed and speed.

　　Looking back, ten years ago "Crazy Racing" was a commercial success, but it did not meet the audience's expectations for the movie. Criticism of Ning Hao's "self-repetition" continued one after another.The public expected too much of Ning Hao because of "Crazy Stone", so that "Crazy Racing" could not meet the huge expectations of the audience without a sufficient distance from "Crazy Stone" on the basis of greater investment and longer production time.Judging from the various stories that have taken place in the past ten years, it has become the most important lesson in the career of new directors who have emerged in the Chinese film market to bear the high expectations of the audience.

　　In Ning Hao's "Crazy" movies, there has always been a rebellious mood. Dialects from all regions have replaced Putonghua as the most important voice in the movie. Various "crooked melon and inferior date" actors have replaced handsome men and women as the main characters in the movie. People at the edge of society and the bottom have replaced glamorous office groups as role identities. Crazy Racing is full of thieves, profiteers, drug lords and murderers. These dramatic roles did not subvert the mainstream values when they were finally twisted into a story line. This is also the value basis for the film to gain the approval of the majority of the audience even though treason. The setting of "treason" serves as a window for the audience to vent and release their emotions and peep at the diversity of society. It does not attempt to arouse the audience's reflection on social phenomena, but mocks and teases these roles in order to gain the audience's happiness, which is much better than some subsequent comedy films mocking the ignorance and ignorance of the poor.

　　After Crazy Racing, Ning Hao, who was criticized for "self-repetition", turned the writing of the lens and story to western China, trying to jump out of his "comfort zone" and challenge more possibilities. Many viewers will remember the twists and turns of "No Man's Land" later.Now "Crazy Alien" tells the audience that Ning Hao seems to have returned ten years ago, "Crazy" continues and the audience is still happy.
