Chapter 33: Inception (5/5)
In fact, the director's right to speak is not so big!
Especially the direct investment from the cinema chain...
If your movie is going to be released in theaters, you're going to have to follow certain arrangements.
Even Lu Xiaoran, every time a new movie is released, in order to schedule a little more, he has to accompany those theater managers to entertain guests, fight wine, say good things, and give benefits.
Of course, you can pretend to ignore them, then the movie will be released, and you won't be scheduled!
It's not like Wanda hasn't done it before!
Suppressing the Huayi brothers...
Feng Xiaogang tore a wave of force, but it was useless!
Generally speaking, film casting, some irrelevant roles, should be proposed by the investor, and the director thinks it is acceptable, then use it.
Orange Imaging is Lu Xiaoran's company, he has always had the final say when making movies!
"Outwitting Tiger Mountain" said that if you invest 150 million, then 150 million, no discount!
Actually, Lu Xiaoran herself is quite distressed...
That's 150 million, not a small number!
This kind of movie must rely on theatrical scheduling...
Normally, this is the case: the more big-budget the film, the more it requires the cooperation of large companies and large consortia, and its opinions must be respected.
Of course, if Orange Image is a listed company, it can raise funds on its own and calculate it separately...
Therefore, he ate the investment of Ningbo Radio and Television Group this time, and he also ate the starry investment.
It's just that Xiao Luzi's principle is to take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, and it is impossible to take money and not do things.
As for how to become popular, you have to take your time...
At least let Xiao Luzi meet her!
Learn about the strengths, advantages, personality, depths...
The last one crossed out!

According to Nolan, 3D movies are inherently a gimmick, and movies are inherently 3D, but 3D movies provide more perspectives.
If you shoot 3D with a 2D narrative, it's not a big problem, and it's okay to switch to 3D in the later stage, but you don't have the feeling of being there.
Even "Titanic 3D" is only 2.5D, and many shots don't feel immersive at all!
The so-called 3D shooting is that you use two cameras to simulate the left and right eye sight, shoot two segments respectively, and then project the two segments on the screen at the same time, and then use the necessary technical methods during the projection - bring 3D eyes, so that the left eye can only see the left eye image, and the right eye can only see the right eye image. When the two images are superimposed by the brains of moviegoers, they have a sense of three-dimensional depth on the screen, and then they can feel the three-dimensional effect!
This may seem like a simple simulation, but it is very difficult to control in practice. In shooting, the consistency of the two machines is required to be very high, otherwise it is difficult to shoot a good result.
Stereoscopic cinema is not a new thing, as early as May 24, 1953, stereoscopic cinema appeared.
Alfred Hitchcock made "Murder by Phone" β that thing was also a 3D movie...
At that time, in order to take the audience back from the front of the TV, Hollywood launched a three-dimensional film that could give the audience a new feeling.
Viewers with special glasses will find themselves hiding behind the fleeing train and the Devil when watching thrillers like The Devil and the Wax House in Bouwana.
Thus bringing us into the era of stereoscopic films.
It's just that this method was not adopted on a large scale, until the emergence of "Avatar" once again pulled 3D movies to the craze...
Lu Xiaoran is not a technology maniac, but he is still willing to try any new technology!
As a result, Wan Qian and Jiao Erbao were subjected to various experiments, and one shot was shot more than a dozen times...
Wang Luodan is very busy, as if he is going to cooperate with Brother Bo in a drama called "Pretend Couple".
Later, this play was cut off by Architect Jiang...
"Okay, this is over!"
Jiao Erbao and Wan Qian let out a long sigh, and the former complained: "Director, how many more experiments do we have to experiment?"
"It's already improving, the day before yesterday when we first started, one took more than two hours to shoot, and now it only takes twenty minutes!"
Wan Qian: "To what extent do you want to experiment?"
"It had to be shortened to the point where it was no different from a normal shoot... Otherwise, we can't call it success!"
replied casually, and Lu Xiaoran continued to discuss with photographer Yang Zhenyu: "How do you feel?"
"It can be cut in half again!"
ββ¦ I also think," Lu Xiaoran took out his mobile phone and looked at the time: "Okay, let's stop here today, let's go back first, tomorrow..."
Yang Zhenyu hurriedly asked, "What time will we gather tomorrow?"
ββ¦ I'm going to promote "33 Days of Broken Love" from tomorrow, you can just find a few staff members to shoot and play, just don't break the equipment!"
βOKοΌβ
Turning her head to look at the two girls who were sweating all over their heads, Lu Xiaoran suddenly felt a little sorry for them: "Let's go, I'll invite you two to a big dinner!"
"Alright, let's go!"
ββ¦ Don't you have to take a shower?"
"What do you want to do in the shower?"
Lu Xiaoran shut up...
β¦β¦
The overseas box office of "Inception" has reached 600 million US dollars, and the mainland is nearly two months late.
Before the release, domestic film critics and fans were already eager to see through it and kept hyping it on the Internet.
The results are not unexpected, the box office on the first day is 20 million, and the box office is 93 million yuan in the first 4 days of the week, according to general media predictions: "Inception" is not a big problem to exceed 200 million in two weeks, only "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" will be released in the third week of this month, if the reputation of "Inception" can be strong and sustainable, the influence of the entire main box office will continue to September 20 before the release of "Jingwu Fengyun" and "33 Days of Broken Love"...
The media's prediction is 280 million box office...
Thinking too much, a bunch of people brag that this is a masterpiece!
He's going very strong at the box office!
However, unlike "Avatar", many people in the industry in "Inception" jumped out to express their opinions, and they didn't like what they said.
For example, Gao Qunshu directly said, 'I don't understand it, and I don't like it.'" I think this film looks too strenuous, and I like the kind of movies that are simple and can see human nature. β
Lu Xiaoran also watched it in the cinema...
What's not to understand about this thing?
It is to create your own world in your dreams, and steal things from other people's dreams by the way.
It's not Shutter Island, it's really hard to understand...
Generally speaking, late September is one of the hottest schedules every year, and the Mid-Autumn Festival stalls are connected with the National Day stalls, which is enough to set off a wave of small climaxes in theaters across the country.
By this time, companies were ready to bring a wave of warm-up preludes to the Lunar New Year war.
For example, Huayi solemnly announced that "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" is scheduled for December 22;
For example, Mr. Chen's "Zhao's Orphan", I heard that he was going to participate in Dragon TV's "China's Got Talent" finals night, and served as an award guest on the spot.
This is a trick move, the show is being broadcast nationwide, and the advertising effect contained in it is immeasurable.
Hehe, I learned that last year's "Three Guns" was on the "Avenue of Stars"...
However, "33 Days of Broken Love" and "Lone Agent" are quite low-key, and they didn't make any trouble, only Weibo accounts, and they had nothing to do with the latest news, @δΈεθ·―ζΌε.
There is no way, the actor was busy playing with new toys, and he couldn't spare time at all, so he dragged on until September 13th, and "33 Days of Broken Love" started publicity...
