Chapter 304 "Inception" Casting. Luo Mo's "Inception" plan can be said to have caused an uproar in China, although Luo Mo said that this movie can't be simply attributed to science fiction or what genre it is, but at least everyone knows that Luo Mo doesn't plan to make comedies next.

This is very good for a director like Luo Mo, at best, this is not a fixed type, has the courage to open up, and does not eat the old book. But if you say it badly, Luo Mo has a bit of a sense of self-aggrandizement, he doesn't fix this genre, to other genres, especially the proposition of this movie...... It sounds a bit mysterious, but is it really something that a 25-year-old can control?

Maybe he was carried away by the previous two movies and felt that he could already use movies to express some of his ideas.

Many people are also worried that Luo Mo, a rising director star, will fall off the altar because of such a movie.

In fact, not only everyone is worried, but Luo Mo himself is also worried......

He wanted to shoot "Inception" in fact, it was no longer in his plan at the beginning, but when "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" was released, he heard that Christopher Nolan was going to shoot "Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight" after "Batman: The Dark Knight", and he was immediately excited.

Hollywood blockbusters are all the place to get high box office, and it's been the same since 2009...... However, many of these high-grossing movies are various superheroes, which cannot be replicated in China, first of all, the comic copyright belongs to others, and secondly, it ...... Even if you buy the rights to "Iron Man", your box office in the United States will still only hit the streets. Hollywood blockbusters already have a brand effect, that is, a movie brand, and then it has been operating, until it can become an endless means of attracting money, such as their various superheroes, which have been filmed one after another but can still sweep the very terrifying box office, 007 has filmed I don't know how many films, and "The Lord of the Rings" can still shoot "The Hobbit" after filming...... Such a brand effect, the economic benefits and film cultural competitiveness brought by it are really terrifying, Luo Mo's goal is to make a Chinese film brand one day, but not now......

Now, Hollywood's movie brand effect is too terrifying, and the high-grossing films that he can plagiarize and transplant to China have become very few because of this restriction, but "Inception" is different! This movie has a bumper harvest at the box office, and it is not the role of brand effect, and it is not impossible to transplant it to China.

Therefore, Luo Mo did not hesitate to start his "Inception" plan.

It's just that after it was actually launched, he also felt that it was difficult.

Among them, the first is that Nolan is really a director with a divine nature, and his "Memory Fragments", "Deadly Magic", and "Inception" are actually not complicated stories, but he can throw these stories away from the lifeless rotten flesh and blood of ordinary shooting methods, and rebuild new and fascinating things. (Maybe it's a little too much praise for him, but the landlord's favorite director is Nolan, especially "Deadly Magic", no movie in my heart can surpass its status, I recommend that you can go and see if you haven't seen it, and if you're not interested, you can watch the goddess Scarlett Johansson). What Luo Mo is most worried about is that he is the most backward toddler in Handan, and he can't shoot the essence of "Inception" at all.

, this movie, all kinds of gunfights, all kinds of explosions, a lot of big scenes...... It's definitely not easy to shoot. Luo Mo didn't know if Lu Dao could shoot well at his current level...... Although he now has the script of "Inception", Luo Mo does not know the specific shooting method of this movie...... And these big scenes definitely require huge investment, even if there are many human and material resources in Chinese will not be as terrifying as the United States, but if you want good conditions, then the necessary investment is also indispensable.

After such factors, Luo Mo was really a little unconfident in his heart...... However, he will not easily regret what he has decided now, not to mention that Luo Mo has already set a release date and predicted the filming date, so that if he says something like water that has been spilled, he can't get it back.

Therefore, even if it is very difficult, even if the road in front of Zhilu Road is full of thorns, then Luo Mo still has to go on without hesitation.

Luo Mo's movie is aimed at the world market, so in order to cater to the taste of Americans, he deliberately put Jeff Bridges, the winner of the Oscar for Best Actor next year.

In the United States, the Oscar award is really too big and too big a promotion for a movie, and the influence of the Oscar is all over the world, even if China does not need it, but Europe, North America, South America, Australia...... In so many places, the name of the Oscar can be converted into a lot of money, and it can also be famous. Otherwise, Zhang Guoshi would not have tried every possible means just for the title of Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film......

And although this Jeff Bridges is about to win the Oscar for Best Actor next year, he is actually unknown now, even if he wants to invite him to China, it is not too difficult. After Luo Mo sent Zhou Sichao to help, he had successfully said that he would play the role that was originally Japanese in the original movie, and now he will play it.

Of course, Luo Mo himself wants to play the leading role...... He feels that he may be a little selfish now, and he doesn't want others to play the leading role in these high-impact movies...... But in this kind of thing, he is really selfless, and it is actually nothing for him to be tired and self-directed, as long as he can achieve the effect he wants, then there is no problem.

In addition, the dream builder, that is, the little girl, was played by Alan Peggy, who played the heroine of "Juno" in the original "Inception", but Luo Mo now plans to let Zhang Mengya ...... This time it was not for their classmate friendship, but because Zhang Mengya had become a contracted actor in Luo Mo's studio, and of course he didn't want to give this kind of good thing to outsiders.

The sentinel originally played by Joseph Gordon Levitt, in "Inception", Luo Mo hasn't figured out who to play yet, and he plans to do more, he wants to be called Nicholas Tse, but this is ...... can't afford to pay the salary, and he won't be willing to be the second male lead, and he is the second male number one alongside others. Others...... Luo Mo thought about it for a while and didn't think about it for the time being, so this is tentative, waiting for everyone's application at that time.

The original actor of the pretender was Tom Hardy, and in his "Inception", Luo Mo gave this role to Zhang Hanyu...... Zhang Hanyu's contract with Huayi is also expiring, and Luo Mo plans to dig him up...... Give it a good hold here. This is not only because of some guilt of "The Assembly" at the beginning, but also from the perspective of interests.

Although Zhang Hanyu has now begun to gain popularity because of "The Hangover", and his popularity in China has soared wildly, to be honest, fundamentally speaking, he also thinks that he can rely on Luo Mo and Luo Mo's "Hangover" today, so he has been carefully considering this proposal and should agree.

There's no way, after Luo Mo now has his own studio, he finds that many ideas seem to be getting more and more selfish...... Every miller draws water to his own mill...... But now that he has his own studio, it is equivalent to his own self-reserved place, and this kind of thing is to make others popular actors, why does Luo Mo find that he doesn't like it more and more...... Otherwise, in fact, according to the popularity of Chinese in the world, the best candidate to play the outpost should actually be Zhen Zaidan, Zhen Zaidan's popularity in the United States is really not covered, in addition to Jackie Chan, Li Lianjie, Zhang Ziyi and a few other people, when the popularity of other Chinese actors in these places is not low, Zhen Zaidan's European and American popularity is indeed not low.

But don't say that the relationship between Luo Mo and Zhen Zaidan is not good, even if they have a good relationship, Luo Mo doesn't want to cheapen too many good roles to outsiders.

The rich second generation who was miserable in "Inception", Luo Mo still has no plans for the time being...... But it doesn't matter, although the role is somewhat important, but it is not very important, and when the time comes, you can just pick a few auditions from the actors who send in the audition request.

Then there is the heavyweight role, the character in "Inception" that connects the whole movie, the wife of the Dream Thief...... This role is very important and needs to have a certain degree of foreign popularity, especially in Europe and the United States. Luo Mo already has a candidate in his heart, and that is Zhang Ziyi.

Although nearly ten years have passed since the era of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero", Zhang Ziyi still has a high reputation in Europe and the United States, although many people ridicule Zhang Ziyi as the so-called international chapter, in fact, she is an X woman abroad, and she has tasted foreign sizes and the like...... But no matter how much they hack Zhang Ziyi, they can't hack some of the facts. Of course, maybe the foreign size or something is true, but Luo Mo doesn't need to pursue the authenticity of this kind of thing, it has nothing to do with him......

However, Luo Mo still admires Zhang Ziyi, at least admires her appearance, this woman is too thoughtful and beautiful, and her face is really not comparable to some other actresses. If you can X rule or something...... Cough! Luo Mo just thought about it casually, and there were some things he still couldn't do.

He mainly wanted to use Zhang Ziyi's popularity in Europe and the United States.

It is absolutely impossible to use Zhang Ziyi as the only selling point to attack the European and American markets, she does not have that kind of box office appeal, but in the case of effective movie promotion, good quality, and "The Hangover" as one of the selling points, this popularity has also been brushed up, plus there is an Oscar winner for Best Actor next year, this movie has a condition for success in Europe and the United States.

Luo Mo has already contacted Zhang Ziyi...... And the part of the actor's salary in "Inception", it is very likely that most of it is spent on her (Luo Mo is not fixed, and the other people's salaries are not as much as her).

The initial contact made her very interested in this film.

When an actor encounters a favorite movie, if he has the right to choose, he is likely to reduce his salary to star, and now Zhang Ziyi really likes this script.

Then, the discussion with Zhang Ziyi's agent began, and Luo Mo personally found Zhang Ziyi once, which was done in the capital. Zhang Ziyi is a person who feels quite straightforward, so Luo Mo told her a lot of things. She is at least very hard working hard, which Luo Mo is very relieved of, the key is to see what she means next.

In addition, Zhang Ziyi's agency is a foreign WMA William Morris agency, and it takes a little time to communicate with them.
