Unscrupulous businessman Li Farah (played by Jiu Kong) hired a murderer to assassinate his wife, but the killer was bribed; Taiwanese gangster brother Donghai (played by Rong Xiang) and his two younger brothers sold drugs; driver Geng Hao (played by Huang Bo) (played by Dacheng) and Zhang Ting (played by Dacheng) won the top two in the competition. Geng Hao, who won the silver medal, was very disappointed... Several groups of people came together because of a mysterious box.

Introduction to the work
"Green Grass" Green Grass Ning Hao
In 2004, his "Green Grass" was selected for the Berlin Film Festival and the Hong Kong Film Festival. Won the Asia Region Popularity Award at the Shanghai Film Festival, the film received high praise from the New York Times during its screening in New York. "Green Grass" is a work by Ning Hao to "repay his teacher's kindness": his teacher planned this project, and the story must have three key words - rural areas, children, and billiards. In July 2004, Ning Hao went to the prairie of Inner Mongolia to select locations. When everything was ready, bad news came from Beijing that there was something wrong with the original investor. Ning Hao managed to stabilize the crew while settling accounts with the producer: the original film shooting budget was 1.4 million yuan, but the replacement for high-definition video only cost about 500,000 yuan.
Ning Hao called his wife: How much money does the family have? More than 100,000 yuan, all of it, plus the producer's 100,000 yuan, we will film it first! Ning Hao made peace with the crew and the film was started, but many people chose to leave. This "poor" crew only has four vehicles, and they have constant breakdowns every day. The photographer had no choice but to return to Beijing and drive his Cherokee to serve as the main force of transportation. On the third day of filming, the van transporting the actors overturned in a deep ditch. One child suffered a fractured hip and required 6 stitches on his head; an actress suffered a broken collarbone... The difficult and difficult filming resulted in another group of crew members leaving. Surprisingly, the crew still maintained considerable efficiency, and they even turned some embarrassing encounters into interesting details in the film. The special thing about "Green Grass" is that the entire film is in Mongolian and tells a story that happened among a herdsmen tribe in Inner Mongolia near the Sino-Soviet border. Several Mongolian children picked up a billiard ball and didn't know what it was. Later they heard that it was a billiard ball and it was China's national sport. The children decided to return the national football to the country, so they set off for Beijing...
Like "Incense", Ning Hao once again used all amateur actors, and all the characters were played by herdsmen themselves, and those Children who are under school age are particularly wonderful, their naturalness and purity are amazing. Ning Hao said that "Green Grass" is a proposition composition, and it must be a children's film related to billiards. He laughed and said that China's table tennis has "almost no suspense like football", so how to create new ideas is the most important issue. He therefore thought about what table tennis means to people who don't know what it means. In fact, in the remote pastoral areas shown in the film, children do not know what billiards is. In their opinion, there are only three sports: "wrestling, horseback riding, and archery." The final theme of this "alternative" children's film has become what Ning Hao calls "the thirst for knowledge and curiosity in childhood." Although "Green Grass" is not a big production, it is definitely full of smile-inducing details. It is an interesting movie that will not be dull.
"Crazy Stone" Crazy Stone
Ning Hao became famous in 2006 with the widely acclaimed low-budget film "Crazy Stone". After Andy Lau established "Yingyi Entertainment Co., Ltd.", he launched the "Asian Rising Star Director" project to sponsor 6 young Asian directors to make movies.

Andy felt that the quota should be given to directors who needed more opportunities. It happened that "Green Grass" participated in the 2005 Hong Kong International Film Festival and won an award. This 27-year-old young man caught Andy Lau's attention: "It's rare that he can tell such a boring story so wonderfully. And when we met, I I was fascinated by him." So Andy Lau invested about 3 million to let Ning Hao film "Crazy Stone".
"Crazy Stone" is an authentic commercial entertainment movie: a professional thief and three thieves, plus a less professional security section chief, for a priceless jade stone, what happened A crazy battle began...
