The film "The Wandering Earth" was very popular after it was broadcast. It was adapted from the original work by Liu Cixin and directed by Guo Fan. It lasted 4 years and had gone through investor divestment, but couldn’t find a suitable one. After almost being chopped off and other twists and turns, the actor of, eventually became a landmark masterpiece in Chinese science fiction movies, and the box office was second only to "Wolf Warrior 2".
I don’t know if you watched "The Wandering Earth" carefully. At the end of the film, there was a subtitle thanking Mr. Andy Lau, but Andy Lau seemed to have nothing to do with this movie. He did not participate in the investment of the film. Didn't participate in the lead role, why did you have to thank Andy Lau at the end of the film?
Andy Lau has nothing to do with this movie, but Andy Lau's influence on this movie is actually like the butterfly effect. It was Andy Lau that caused the hurricane "Wandering Earth", the butterfly that stirred its wings. Director Guo Fan’s success is inseparable from a person’s help. Director Ning Hao had the copyright of "The Wandering Earth" in the hands of Ning Hao at the beginning, but Ning Hao felt that he was not suitable for making this kind of film. The script was handed over to Guo Fan, and many problems arose during the filming process, and Ning Hao also helped the crew with a lot of things, and also borrowed the shooting venue and crew’s costumes to Guo Fan.
So Guo Fan would like to thank Ning Hao first, but he would also like to thank another person. In 2005, Ning Hao was actually just an unknown director, and he also had a movie script called "Crazy "The Stone", but there are no investors. At that time, the film industry was in a downturn, and many talented new directors had no investment, so they had to switch careers. So Andy Lau launched the "Asia Rising Stars" program to select young directors from all over Asia to finance their filming. In order to make up the tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars needed for the plan, Andy Lau has increased the pay for the three films he took. For the bosses, one or two million is not a big deal, but for a new director, one or two million can help them. achive dreams.
So Ning Hao found Andy Lau. After reading Ning Hao’s script, Andy Lau immediately gave him 3 million to make "Crazy Stone" from then on. Ning Hao became famous and became the current great director. Starring in "Crazy Stone", it became a hit overnight. Afterwards, Ning Hao and Huang Bo were out of control, and they continuously wiped out the sparks of creation, and successively brought us "No Man's Land" and "Heart Flower Road". Now Huang Bo has become a box office actor with more than 10 billion yuan, and Ning Hao has also become the "ghost director" in everyone's mouth.
So it is said that Andy Lau's "Asia Rising Stars" project has made Ning Hao, and Ning Hao has always been very grateful to Andy Lau. In order to inherit this spirit, Ning Hao also established the "Bad Monkey 72 Changes" plan in 2016. The purpose is to gather the present and aspiring young filmmakers to provide them with a development platform.
