Behind the scenes production

EDITOR
Creation background
Ning Hao (director) Actually the initial idea for the script was as early as 2000, but at that stage it was completely different from the finished version. Later, the film became the only mainland film work in the "Asian New Star Guide" program led by Andy Lau, and officially launched the screenplay and shooting plan. Ning Hao likes it very much Guy Ritchie The film, more appreciate its shooting method. Although it was very appropriate to shoot Crazy Stone with Guy Ritchie's method early on, Ning Hao deliberately avoided it in the hope of establishing a new way, but as the shooting went on, Ning Hao increasingly felt that perhaps this shooting method was the best choice for this type of film.
Location selection
Before the film started shooting, Ning Hao's choices included Chongqing, Guangzhou, Wuhan and other cities, but after filming in Chongqing, Ning Hao immediately decided to make a decision. Because, in his view, Chongqing is a new metropolis, and its rapid growth has led to its complexity and uncertainty. "Crazy Stone" is like Chongqing itself, with numerous foreshadowing and coincidences, stretching into a dense series of story lines in a three-dimensional space and combining with each other [5] .

Film evaluation

EDITOR
What the critics say
The film shines a light on the dark landscape of China's low-budget film market. The sense of language in Mad Stone is entirely cinematic and audiovisual, rather than the traditional paradigm of 'fiction, prose and even poetry' that Chinese films excel at and firmly grasp. It deliberately taps into the dialect's special sense of humor, and it's all about the little man comedy of a turbulent metropolis, with its dense, vivid glitter of detail. Chinese cinema needs more Ning Hao [8] . (Beijing film critic Lao Huang)
The significance of Mad Stone to the Chinese film industry is definitely greater than the value of the film itself. Regardless of the advantages and disadvantages of the film art, the spirit of the film presented to the audience is a kind of momentum, a fresh feeling of life; This feeling can not be obtained by means of money, fame, seniority, political achievement projects, marginal themes, etc., and these impetuous terms are covering all aspects of Chinese films, forcing ordinary audiences to distance themselves from Chinese films [9] . (Comments by Zhang Xiaotao, a staff writer of Ifeng.com)
Peer review  
"Crazy Stone" is an unlikely mainland film, and Ning Hao's grasp of humor is rarely seen in Hong Kong films. (Comments by Peter Chan)
To be smart requires wisdom and years of accumulation, Ning Hao has a very good ability to control the details, the French New Wave, Italian new realism and Quentin's noir films are reflected here, the director has this contemporary popular collage art way to move very well. (Commentary by Huang Jianxin)
Crazy Stone is a very free film. (Commentary by Lu Chuan)
