Use pre-drilled screws instead of nails. Use 2x4 instead of 1x4 between the joists. Maybe even hangers for more strength and accuracy.

If ceiling is finished there are heavy-duty drywall anchors rated for 50# ea.
Don't have to patch and paint.
They will only be as strong as the drywall: Non-damp location, 1/2" min, screwed next to the load point.
