"Bad Monkey" is making a big deal again?
On June 14, Bad Monkey Pictures held its annual brand launch during the Shanghai Film Festival. This time, they have a new move.
In the new film list announced by Bad Monkey Pictures, director Ning Hao's new work has struck, and the poster of "All Stars" has taken the lead with a pig.
According to reports, this is a work of Ning Hao's return to the most skilled absurd comedy theme. Ning Hao himself also revealed that the current draft of the script has been completed.
"The Great Han Shuangxiong" is Ning Hao's first attempt at costume films. Ning Hao said that making a costume film is his wish all the time.
The story of this film takes place in Yanmen Pass, and the protagonists are two generals who are very familiar to everyone, Wei Qing and Huo Qiyi. What will this familiar history look like under the lens of director Ning Hao? Very curious.
The film list also shows that some fans have been waiting for a heavyweight sequel that has been on the agenda.
"Crazy Alien 2" supervised by Ning Hao is sure to come. The scene of alien wars Huang Bo Shen Teng is still vivid, I don't know which big coffee will be attracted this time?
There is also the National Day box office champion that year, opening a new era of domestic road comedy "Heart Flower Road Release" also ushered in the sister article "Heart Flower Bloom".
Ning Hao supervised the production, He Nian directed, and the protagonist of the story will turn the two "囧 men" of the previous work into "three fools", which is also quite expected.
There is also the director Wen Muye from the "Bad Monkey 72 Change Film Project" who also brought a new work: after "I am not a medicine god", he once again joined hands with Ning Hao to cooperate for the second time, and "Miracle" has now been started. The film lineup is very eye-catching - Yi Yanqianxi led the appearance.
In addition, there are "Fishing Action" starring Zhang Yixing and Jin Chen, and "Second-hand Masterpieces" that Yu Hewei, Guo Qilin, Ni Hongjie, Zhou still joined for the first time to unveil the mystery, and the list of bad monkeys this time is indeed worthy of the "S+" "rating".
Unconsciously, the "bad monkey" has accompanied everyone for ten years.
The name Bad Monkey represents an independent and attitude: controlling the project from the development stage of the film project, integrating development, production, distribution, publicity, integrated marketing and cross-industry cooperation. Therefore, the works of "Bad Monkey" have quite distinctive characteristics.
In 2016, Bad Monkey innovatively launched the "Bad Monkey 72 Change Film Project" in the industry, signing ten young directors, including men and women, and the project also covers a variety of genres.
Now look at the ten years of "bad monkey" "report card", it is indeed worthy of the title of "bad monkey 72 change movie plan" - the wide range of subject matter, the rich type of experimentation, domestic film and television companies are rare.
There is no doubt that Bad Monkey Pictures, formerly known as Ning Hao Studio, is definitely best at comedy works.
After Ning Hao's "Crazy" series, Bad Monkey Pictures has successively launched comedy movies such as "The Great Golden Robbery", "No Man's Land", and "Heart Flower Road Release".
Audience popularity and award winning can not be both, is the pain point of many comedy creators.
However, the comedy works produced by Bad Monkey Pictures have achieved an excellent balance between commercial and artistic: "No Man's Land" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 64th Berlin Film Festival, and also won the Chinese Film Media Award and the Asian Film Award; "Heart Flower Road Release" won countless international reputations on behalf of Chinese films when it premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, and was also the box office champion of domestic films in 2014.
Outside of comedy, "Bad Monkey" has not stopped.
In 2017, "Bad Monkey 72 Change Film Project" signed director Lu Yang with "Embroidered Spring Knife II: Shuluo Battlefield" to meet with the audience, this national style martial arts movie broke everyone's stereotype that "sequels often can't surpass the previous works", whether it is action scenes or story expressions are clear and calm, impressive. To this day, it is still regarded as a classic must-see of domestic martial arts films in recent years.
In 2018, "I Am Not a Medicine God" turned out, and director Wen Muye also came from the "Bad Monkey 72 Change Movie Project". This is a realistic film about the topic of "generic drugs" that has attracted little attention.
After its release, "I Am Not a Medicine God" not only won more than 3 billion box office, but also won dozens of award nominations, large and small, and finally won the Golden Horse Award for Best New Director, Best Actor, and Best Original Screenplay.
In 2019, the "Bad Monkey 72 Change Film Project" director Shen Ao's feature film "Beneficiary" was released, and the old friends of Dapeng Liuyan reunited in the film.
The perspective of the film is always placed on the ordinary people who "seek life", through a marriage scam with ulterior motives, to truly show the survival status and struggle of the small people at the bottom of society.
"Once Upon a Time in the Tropics", which is currently being screened, is another crime suspense film. Peng Yuyan, Zhang Aijia, Wang Yanhui and other powerful actors gathered to help Wen Shipei, director of the "Bad Monkey 72 Change Film Project", to recall an old case in the 90s.
Since the release of the film, it has aroused a lot of discussion, the most memorable thing is the film's image expression and picture presentation, and the distinct and unique style has attracted the pursuit of many fans.
It is not difficult to find that after the success of Bad Monkey Pictures in comedy, it did not rest on its laurels and never stopped trying.
Plot, reality, crime, costumes... Almost all mainstream film genres, Bad Monkey Pictures, are involved.
The announcement of the "S+" film list is another shot in the arm for the film market: the 11 blockbuster film plans are full of gold, diverse types, and diverse themes, which are enough to make people look forward to it.
What is certain is that after this brand launch, the upgrade of Bad Monkey Pictures will not stop. In the future, more high-quality works of different themes are waiting for everyone.
