Indeed, it is not easy for a movie to find the G-spot of foreigners.

And, seriously, although many things in Chinese society today have long been contrary to those of ancient times, and even an exaggeration to say that China is basically ******** now, but even so, what Chinese are thinking about is still very different from what Westerners think.

Therefore, it is not a simple matter for a film to get a high box office in China and to hit their G-spot in the West.

Don't look at Luo Mo's "Gravity" now, or even "Yue Fei", a movie that completely came out of his hands, but conquered the entire world at the box office, but he still didn't know with confidence that if he made a new movie, he would still be able to get a high box office within the scope of the world world.

So, if he wants to make a Chinese Xianxia film...... Well, generally speaking, with his reputation, with his technical strength, coupled with the deep-rooted concept of the Chinese, such a movie as long as it makes very gorgeous special effects, makes a **** and rhythm is a very good plot, and then does the best grasp of the schedule and publicity, there is no problem at all for such a movie to win the high box office, and it is also 800 million box office start.

But foreign places are different...... They haven't been baptized by Xianxia culture at all, and if they suddenly come up with a Xianxia movie, they will be very entangled.

Because sometimes, some people will hate a thing for an unacceptable reason, if they can't accept the concept of Xianxia, can't accept that people can fly in the sky, and they are not immortals, then it's not easy to get them to accept a movie.

Take a look at the American superhero blockbusters, each superhero has detailed how they get that amount of power, and why do they get that amount of power......

But if Chinese Xianxia is a story, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to figure it out, and they will not convince themselves to think about it.

This is a very real problem, so when Luo Mo brought this question up, Tsui Hark also fell into deep thought.

"But we'll always have a chance." Luo Mo paused, smiled at Tsui Hark, and said: "In the past, I don't think you would have thought that some martial arts things could be displayed with 3D effects, which would have been completely fantastical if it had been placed ten years ago." ”

"That's right." Tsui Hark also smiled: "So after all, it will still improve...... But seriously, I also watched some Xianxia and the like, and now I also have a concept of these things, and I feel that everyone's concept of the kind of chivalrous man, for the country and the people, is becoming more and more blurred, and now many things are all based on preference, if you really think about others all day long, it will not be accepted by everyone. ”

Tsui Hark shook his head slightly as he spoke, when he was at the peak of his career in the past, he was shooting some martial arts movies, and everyone said that Tsui Hark's movies had the strongest flavor of rivers and lakes, but after so many years of filming, now I feel that I don't understand these things very well.

Luo Mo thought for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "But seriously, I think this feeling is better now...... It's more in line with the reality of the past. ”

"Oh?"

Tsui Hark sighed with interest, he wanted to hear Luo Mo's opinion on this matter, Luo Mo can shoot a huge epic like "Yue Fei", and he must be able to have a deep understanding of these things, which should be, and Tsui Hark also thinks so.

Luo Mo smiled and said, "I'm just saying my own opinion, if you feel that it's completely different from what you think in your heart, then forget it." ”

"Of course, we are just exchanging our thoughts now, and we don't say that we want to distinguish between high and low." Tsui Hark said: "Just say it. ”

"Well, maybe you'll think I'm missing something or something...... But seriously, I think that the great man of chivalry mentioned by Mr. Jin Yong, serving the country and the people, is not necessarily the meaning of the word chivalry itself. Because in my opinion, the word chivalry does not mean how much you have to pay for others to be chivalrous, the first chivalry, they do not necessarily have the dream of serving the country and the people. Sima Qian's "Historical Records" has a special biography of rangers, saying that they must believe their words, their deeds must be fruitful, they have promised to be sincere, they do not love their bodies, and they go to the misfortune of the soldiers...... Don't be able to do it, don't cut its virtue...... But these do not say that they want to serve the country and the people, they are talking about righteousness, commitment, and mood. ”

"Li Bai's "Chivalrous Journey" is murderous, but in fact, it doesn't say that he wants to kill the enemies of the country, or to eliminate violence and peace, but more of a killing word, and then connect with what was said in ancient times, Confucianism is a violation of the law, and chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, so I think that the word chivalry mainly refers to those who rely on their own preferences, but have a code of conduct, and should not give them the rules and regulations for the country and the people."

Luo Mo said all his thoughts, and did not wait for Tsui Hark to have a possible refutation, on the contrary, when Luo Mo glanced at Tsui Hark, he found that Tsui Hark now actually had a deeply appreciative expression: "You are right...... Actually, I think what you said is really reasonable, this is a real hero, right......?"

"The word chivalrous may not mean a moral code, but just a description of such a person. Of course, now some protagonists who are purely for themselves, have a black belly, have no reputation, and have no awe, are indeed not heroes. Luo Mo said.

"Hmm...... I'm feeling a little bit enlightened right now. Tsui Hark laughed.

"It's not that exaggerated."

"If you said before that you didn't plan to shoot "The Three-Body Problem" for the time being, did you plan to make a movie related to the kind of chivalry you just mentioned?" Tsui Hark asked Luo Mo at this time.

"It depends." Luo Mo said: "But my new movie will also have something to do with such things." ”

"Oh? Tell me about it. Tsui Hark also became interested all of a sudden, and I believe that most people will be interested enough in Luo Mo's new movie.

"This ......" Luo Mo shook his head slightly: "I haven't really prepared it yet, and I haven't completely thought about the script of this movie, so I'll make it public when the time comes." ”

"That's fine, but I can't wait."

The two began to continue to visit some things in the digital field, and the technical special effects here are indeed becoming more and more advanced, which also gives Xu Laowei more confidence to shoot this "Di Renjie's Garuda", he believes that this hard-working Di Renjie will also be able to attract many people's attention like the previous one, and get many people's like.

From Luo Mo's point of view, he is also looking forward to getting such a breakthrough in some things, China's series that can make money within the scope of the world are basically extinct after the decline of Hong Kong films, even if his "Yue Fei" is said to have earned a lot of dollars, but after all, this movie is an episode, not a series, so he feels that China needs the kind of movies that can be made in the West in a row, and in this regard, "Di Renjie" still has great potential.

He had already read the script of "Di Renjie's Garuda", and had many discussions with Tsui Hark about how this plot should be cut......

Yes, many lengthy places still need to be cut, especially for Western audiences, if the pace of the film is too slow, it will not be in their eyes at all.

"Di Renjie" is no longer aimed at the Chinese market, but the foreign market, this is Luo Mo's hope for Chinese series, he hopes that "Di Renjie" can fulfill his wish in this aspect. He still has to serve as a co-director and starring in the new "Di Renjie", and it may take a few months to shoot after that, and during the filming process, there will definitely be many intensive martial arts scenes, and there will be many other difficult scenes, but now Luo Mo is basically ready.

Now, Luo Mo said to Tsui Hark, who had been watching it for a long time: "How do you feel?" ”

"Hmm...... Of course it's good...... Seriously, I feel quite proud to think that this thing now belongs to our China. ”

"Hmm......" Luo Mo said with a smile: "This is also coming out step by step, our new movie plans to use virtual shooting techniques, and this technique is now available here......"

"Huh? Is this technique from the digital realm? ”

"Hmm...... Yes, it's digital. Luo Mo nodded.

The virtual photography technique they are talking about is also a technique that has slowly developed with the progress of the film industry, such a technique was originally made by James Cameron's technical idiot, this technique is mainly convenient for directors, and when actors in the past played some scenes that required CG production, many times they could only rely on their own imagination to express that there was something in front of them.

In "Life of Pi", the protagonist has to hold a rag doll and imagine that it is a Bengal tiger, and in "The Hobbit", the motion capture actor who plays the flying dragon has to pretend that the mineral water bottle in front of him is the enemy in front of him, and the most torturous thing is that not only do they have to pretend like that, but the director's monitor can only see these pictures, so whether their performance is in place or not, whether the performance is perfect enough, these have to be inferred and guessed according to the director's own experience, which is very troublesome.

However, with the virtual cinematography technique, the final effect that has been added to the director's display screen is the one he needs, and the effect can be completely visualized as the image appears between several actors. Moreover, with this virtual photography technique, even after the actor has made some motion capture, he can make the filmed characters copy these actions at any time according to the director's intention, without the actor doing it over and over again, and the scene can be reversed......

These things that used to require post-production can now have a response in the early stage, and such intuitive things are still a great help to a director.

Therefore, the current Tsui Hark will feel a little surprised, but he didn't expect this technique to come from here.

"It seems that this digital field is really not simple." Tsui Hark said to Luo Mo.
