Chapter 377 "Old Boy" is released. The filming process of "Nightmare" was very difficult, and the filming in many places required some new methods, and it was also very troublesome to shoot.
This is the most troublesome movie Luo Mo has ever made.
There are a lot of places in the movie that need to be very realistic...... But you can't always say that if you want to dissect a person, you really dissect him, and if you want to confuse the real with the fake, there will always be a problem of realization, which can not be fully realized easily, and there will always be mistakes, after all, this is fake...... To make people think it's true, it takes something that can't be done overnight.
The movie will tell the story of the change of mentality of some people, from the beginning of the board and glance purely for the sake of testing, and then gradually develop into taking advantage of the pain of their own kind for fun, and these people's mentality is becoming more and more distorted.
Here, an even more horrific episode was filmed - they removed the victim's stomach and connected the esophagus directly to the large intestine, so that although the victim could eat, no matter how much he ate, he could only starve to death. This part was shot of full nudity, and the actress was a little nervous and shy when she took off her clothes and walked out.
After all, this is a movie, Luo Mo and they can't have any physiological reactions because of this situation, but from the perspective of an actress, how can they not be shy in the face of so many people?
"Be natural, your fears, your fears, behave naturally!" At this time, Luo Mo said on the walkie-talkie in front of the monitor: "There are very few people next to you, don't worry." ”
For this kind of scene that requires nudity, in order to reduce the embarrassment of the actors, there are generally few people next to them.
After that, the camera began to work intensely.
After the very realistic mannequin finally replaced the actress, many people couldn't help but feel a little sick to their stomachs when they looked at the very realistic props - I have to say that these Hollywood makeup artists and prop artists are too good. Luo Mo took a look at the replay just now, the actress finally entered the state after her own roar, and now she looks at it like this, it is very good, empty and with fear and unknown eyes, it can definitely become a nightmare in some people's hearts, everyone may forget the bloody scene, but it should not be able to forget this terrible look......
The Japanese are very good at psychological fear, "Midnight Bell" and "Curse" are absolutely classic movies, while there are not many movies in the United States that are magical in psychological fear, and "Nightmare" will combine many things, from reality, reality, history, fear, blood and many other things to integrate some new things, and will also let the audience think for themselves.
The shooting of "high-pressure test" is also very difficult, a high-speed camera is used here, and props are also used to try to make the kind of horror scene where the human body is in a super high-pressure environment, and the whole person begins to fall apart......
Scene by scene is gradually born.
It is conceivable that "Nightmare" will become the bloodiest film in the history of mainland cinema, no matter how other things behave, at least in terms of realism and gore, this movie is absolutely impeccable. It's just that the other pursuits injected by Luo Mo may not be able to be achieved so easily.
Soon, October passed so quietly, and November had already arrived.
November is a month for Luo Mo to shoot "Killing Nightmare" well.
"Killing Nightmare" has been filmed so far, and Luo Mo has found more and more that although his three movies "Inception", "The Hangover", and "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" are strictly speaking, they are just copying, and they are painted according to the gourd...... No, it's just painting the scoop directly, but even so, these three movies still brought rapid progress to Luo Mo's ability to direct movies.
Now, Luo Mo is familiar with many big scenes, and he is familiar with many scenes, even if some shots have never been shot before, it is easy for him to draw inferences from his previous experience and find a way to shoot these shots now. In short, his current directing ability has improved too much, from the rookie at the beginning, to the old bird now.
"Killing Nightmare" is a cult film, and it is a movie that has gathered a lot of effort, so Luo Mo's ability in this movie, whether it is the screenwriter, director or other abilities, will be refined and improved as a whole again.
In the process of filming "Nightmare", Luo Mo also found many problems in himself, but the discovery of these problems did not affect the movie too much. After all, as long as Luo Mo has the quality of this movie, the time can be extended, and as long as the final investment of the film is less than 100 million yuan, he can accept it, so the filming time of "Killing Nightmare" will get longer and longer, and it may even be delayed until March or April next year......
But slow work makes meticulous work, and Luo Mo has now discovered these problems and solved them, which is another huge improvement for Luo Mo's overall directing ability. Many of the dark wounds were gradually removed in the process, and replaced with something else that was better......
The filming of "Nightmare" gradually began in this way.
In November, in addition to "Killing Nightmare", for Luo Mo and Luo Mo Studio, there are two more important things going on - "Old Boy" and "The Voice of China".
On November 14th, "Old Boy" also launched a promotion in China, the production cost of this film is 4.57 million, and Luo Mo Studio has also invested 5 million in publicity, so the final cost of "Old Boy" will be 10 million. For Luo Mo's studio, this is a small investment, and the funds for publicity are also tight.
However, there are often many factors that influence the promotion of this kind of thing.
Others spend 100 million yuan on publicity, but they may not have the ability to spend 10 million yuan...... Because the name Luo Mo is so well-known, everyone will feel secure when they see Luo Mo's name. This can almost be said to be the only one among domestic filmmakers.
"Old Boy" has been put into publicity, and the main means of publicity is Luo Mo first, the second is chasing dreams, and the third is youth. In addition, there are also new works written by Luo Mo after the 70s, 80s, and 80s...... Luo Mo is naturally the biggest means of publicity, and Luo Mo serves as the co-director and screenwriter of this movie, which has become the biggest selling point of the movie.
Regarding dreams and youth, that is the content in the movie, which will be shown in the movie when the time comes, and there will definitely be some hype in the trailer and some promotional meetings.
After the seventies and eighties, this is the hype of their dreams and the girls they chased back then - the dreams and girls you chased in those years are still not there? This kind of questioning can always hit the soft hearts of many people.
After all, in everyone's youth, who doesn't have some dreams, who hasn't had a favorite person?
Fighting snakes and hitting seven inches, this kind of publicity is very much in line with everyone's taste, and many people believe in the word Luo Mo, so they have a stronger sense of expectation for the movie.
In addition, Luo Mo's studio also released a message in the promotion, that is, Luo Mo specially created a song for "Old Boy", to be precise, he should fill in the lyrics by himself! This also awakened the dusty memory in many people's hearts - Luo Mo once had masterpieces such as "In My Song" and "Orchid Pavilion Preface" came out before, and all these songs were written by him alone, composed by him, and sung by him......
Luo Mo's aura in movies is so strong that people ignore his achievements in the music industry.
And now, this news reminds everyone - yes, Luo Mo is also a very talented young man who writes songs! In "Old Boy", you will hear the lyrics of his songs, which is also a reason why many people go to the cinema......
In short, the early promotion of "Old Boy" was still very successful.
"Old Boy" officially premiered on November 21!
On this day, Luo Mo also attended the premiere ceremony, the premiere ceremony was held in a cinema in Shanghai, before the official screening of the movie, Luo Mo quickly got a lot of questions from reporters and some audiences: "Director Luo, you served as the co-director and screenwriter of "Old Boy", so how much of this movie belongs to your style?" ”
"This ...... I think I put in my own effort anyway, and I paid a lot of attention to the film, and I can't say how much of it is my style, but I'm sure there will be a judgment in everyone's mind. For this kind of question, Luo Mo answered quite tactfully, anyway, it is impossible for him to answer positively, it is not easy to say, if there is too much of his own style, the people in the crew are unhappy, and if there is too little of his own style, the audience will be disappointed.
"Director Luo, as we all know, your "Step by Step Shocking" has now become popular in the ratings of TV stations, and it is out of control, and your "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem" has also been completed and sold at a high price, and your "Thai Embarrassment" has also been finalized...... And now there's this "Old Boy" where you're the executive producer of these four films, and you're also the director of two films. So, although we know that many of your movies and TV series have become popular, can you guarantee the quality of "Old Boy" and "Lost in Thailand" at such a fast speed? After all, it should be very busy with so many things in a year. ”
This is also a question that some people want to ask Luo Mo - can he guarantee the strength of so many movies and TV series?
Luo Mo pondered slightly, and then smiled: "This question...... I want to say that I won't smash the signboard of the word Luo Mo, I will do my best, and I hope you can give me a little patience and give me a little confidence, I believe that my movie will not disappoint everyone. Besides, the current achievements and reputation of "Step by Step" should also explain the source of my confidence from one angle, right? ”
"Can you predict the box office?"
"50 million up......"
In everyone's various moods, "Old Boy" finally began to kick off, and the movie officially began, and everyone was watching this movie with bated breath. At the very beginning of the movie, everyone found out that this movie still misses Michael Jackson......
This is also a feeling of the disappearance of idols back then, which resonates with everyone, not everyone likes Michael Jackson, but at least, most people used to have a favorite star, and now most of them have withered, so the sense of resonance arises.
