Chapter 364 "Old Boy". The training plan for young film talents, so far, Luo Mo has finally found a good seedling.
"Oldboy" definitely deserves this kind of investment for yourself.
Even if it's for that kind of feeling, it's worth 5 million!
What's more, this kind of movie actually has a lot of selling points, and if it is marketed properly, it is likely to be a box office hit.
Someone with a graduate thesis with an unclear narrative, peculiar editing, and wanting to rely on the so-called 'little golden sentences' and 'nostalgia' to attract the audience, can cut melons and vegetables to hit 700 million box office under the condition of high box office and low word-of-mouth, let alone a movie like "Old Boy".
It's just that Luo Mo also has a plan in his heart, that is, he wants to gradually practice some of his own perceptions and thoughts about movies through "Old Boy", he wants to expand "Old Boy", which was originally only more than 40 minutes, to a movie length of about 70-85 minutes, and this expansion will be completed by him and the "Chopsticks Brothers", but he will be the one who dominates......
However, the expansion is not completely expanded, some of it is really just for the sake of funny things, he feels that there is no need to stay, and there is not much need for a lot of exaggerated performances. In fact, "Old Boy" also gave some people the impression that they endured the boredom of the first dozens of minutes, and only when they sang "Old Boy" at the end of the year, they could give everyone the impression that they could feel.
Of course, for the audience who fanatically pursues "Old Boy", they will think that these impressions are because they don't understand "Old Boy", but there are not a few people who feel this way when they find this kind of problem.
In addition, there is a satirical phenomenon of Mango Channel's supergirl and fast man in "Old Boy", and Luo Mo can't take this next, he needs to reimagine the plot.
Otherwise, blatantly satirizing them in this kind of movie, although Luo Mo may not be retaliated against, his influence in the circle is still not small......
After throwing their ideas out, Xiao Yang and Wang Taili have been waiting for a reply...... They were very worried.
In fact, since the formation of the "Chopsticks Brothers" group, they have also been making some short films, and they have accumulated a lot of experience until now. This time, I suddenly had the idea of "Old Boy", and I was going to try to do it myself, but I happened to see the 'Youth Film Talent Training Plan' held by Luo Mo, and I felt that I slowly had a direction.
So, after that, they put the ideas and plans of "Old Boy" into the mailbox that Luo Mo's plan openly accepted, and then waited for a reply.
This time is very important for them, in fact, if they are allowed to shoot it themselves, they do not have enough money, they do not have enough anything, and they simply do not have the confidence to make "Old Boy" well. And now, Luo Mo has such a plan, they are happy to give it a try, and they also hope to be able to pass it......
However, they didn't hear a reply for a few days, and the two of them slowly began to die in their hearts.
In fact, they have also experienced a lot of setbacks, so they will not take it too seriously in the face of such a slight death.
It's just that it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no regret in the bottom of my heart.
But at this time, they got the news from Luo Mo's studio - the review of "Old Boy" passed! The film will be part of the plan for the cultivation of young filmmakers.
The two people who heard the news were shocked, and then they looked at each other and smiled!
Xiao Yang said excitedly: "Great! Director Luo finally gave us this opportunity. I really don't know what to say! It's so important! At that time, I thought that he quit this plan just to win people's hearts and fight for a little fame! I didn't expect to have our chance. ”
"It's a really good opportunity." Wang Taili was also a little excited: "The power of Inception is too strong, and if we can get his support now, it will be especially helpful for us." ”
"That's it." Xiao Yang was slightly worried: "I wonder what he will do with this movie?" Will there be a change of role? After all, the two of us are ...... age" After speaking, he glanced at Wang Taili with a slightly wry smile, Wang Taili also had the same worries as him, but Wang Taili was very free and easy, and said: "Actually, we were a planner from the beginning of this movie...... You don't necessarily need to act by yourself, because if the movie can have a bigger investment, you can naturally hire professional actors. Wang Taili analyzed rationally.
Xiao Yang nodded at this point...... Indeed, that's what happened.
They were just a plot before, and even people turned their faces and didn't recognize people, and they came up with another name, but there was no problem in borrowing this idea. Although Luo Mo has weak connections in the Chinese entertainment industry, his success in other places cannot be ignored, and if he wants to do so, there is nothing the two of them can do.
Let's wait until we see Luo Mo first.
When Luo Mo saw the chopsticks brothers, the two of them were a little restrained.
This restraint made Luo Mo feel a little emotional in his heart, once upon a time, it was he who should be restrained, but now, the restrained person has become the person who talks to him. Indeed, their restraint is not without reason, not only because of Luo Mo's current status in the Chinese entertainment industry, but more importantly, because Luo Mo and them are now at stake, and Luo Mo's breath can determine the life and death of their movie.
"Hello, I'm Luo Mo." Luo Mo first stretched out his right hand at Xiao Yang, and after shaking it gently, Xiao Yang hurriedly said for a long time, and then said a kind word to Wang Taili, and several people sat down face to face. Then, Luo Mo smiled and said: "Someone may have told you before, I am very interested in your movie plan, this should be a good story, so now you can make your own requests." ”
They didn't expect Luo Mo to get to the point so quickly, but they glanced at each other for a while, with a little stunned.
After being stunned, the two of them reacted quickly, and then Xiao Yang said with a smile: "This cultivation plan was originally set by Luo Dao and you, and it is also implemented by Luo Mo's studio, so how this plan should be implemented, I think this should only be decided by Luo Dao and you." Xiao Yang's words seemed to be very gentle, but in fact they were also a little sharp, he was now kicking the stone back to Luo Mo, and let Luo Mo bring it up first, they had a bottom in their hearts, so they wouldn't suffer too much.
Of course, Luo Mo knew what he thought, but his face sank slightly.
Seeing Luo Mo's slightly sinking face, the two glanced at each other, but their hearts sank suddenly! Luo Mo shouldn't dislike them because of a small temptation just now, so he refused all the requests, that would be too sad. Luo Mo said at this time: "According to our decision, this film can be invested in filming, and it can also create opportunities and conditions for you...... So, I'm just asking you now, what kind of opportunities and conditions do you need? I guess that's not too hard to answer, right? ”
Luo Mo's words made the two of them almost drench in a cold sweat.
When Luo Mo was smiling just now, he could give people a very close affinity, but now his words, a little invisible aura is spreading, making a kind of little Jiujiu in their psychology begin to gradually disappear. It is true that Luo Mo doesn't play big names, and he can be polite to many actors, but to be honest, his patience is very bad now, especially after he has a headache in his head, his patience is not too good......
When talking to these people, he prefers to get straight to the point and not have much time and energy to go around and down.
Xiao Yang and Wang Taili also felt that it was best not to have temptations and other ideas, he could do what Luo Mo said, so they should not think about it and talk to him honestly.
So, Xiao Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "Director Luo, we hope to still be able to serve as the director ourselves, and I hope to choose the role ourselves." At the same time, we have an idea......"
"What thoughts?"
"We want you to be a screenwriter or executive producer in a movie......"
After saying this, he, a guy who was much older than Luo Mo, actually looked at Luo Mo with very worried eyes.
Luo Mo thought about it slightly, the script is not difficult for him, after all, there is the original movie, and he doesn't want them to shoot exactly as they imagined, the script is modified, and then the expansion needs to be done by himself. Served as executive producer...... I was also able to try to practice some of my ideas and styles on this film.
Whether a film is a director, a producer, or an investor depends on the specific situation...... If it is a movie like "Warring States", it is naturally a big investor, Feng Xiaogang's movie, it is a big director, and there is also a big producer, for example, Lu Qi filmed a "Looking for a Gun" and found Jiang Wen as the producer...... Jiang Wenwen originally wanted to praise Lu Wen, but who knew that he played too much in "Looking for a Gun", and he himself became the emperor in the crew, making "Looking for a Gun" a Jiang Wen movie, and the two almost turned against each other.
And "Old Boy" is most likely to be Luo Moda's situation.
However, it is necessary for a person who controls the movie to do everything himself in every movie like Luo Mo's "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", "The Hangover", and "Inception", as long as you grasp the context, and then the specific things can actually be handed over to the specific person who made the movie to solve, which is also a way.
Luo Mo will instill his will into the movie at that time.
"Well, I'll be the screenwriter and executive producer...... Actor ......" Luo Mo thought for a while, and then said, "You can pick it yourself." ”
After arriving at the end of the day, suddenly Wang Taili remembered something, and said to Luo Mo: "Director Luo...... One more thing. ”
"Well, what's the matter?" Luo Mo asked.
"That's right, we still lack a theme song for this movie, and we want to find a suitable one, and we also found a song by Takuya Ohashi, and we want to add lyrics to cover it...... It's just that we can't find the lyrics ourselves, and you were also a very good lyricist at the time, so we thought, maybe you can fill in the lyrics? ”
Luo Mo was happy in his heart, this is a good thing, "Old Boy" is actually the most touching thing about that song, if you fill in the lyrics of this song, it can also alleviate the embarrassment of not having a new song for several years. So, Luo Mo agreed to this matter.
After deciding the matter of "Old Boy", Luo Mo went to Hengdian, Zhejiang...... Although he said that he served as the producer of "Step by Step" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem", he almost never went to the crew.
Today, Luo Mo will come to the crew for a walk and give a little guidance......
Well, he said that he was going to visit Tang Yan's crew, and it was also solved.
"Step by Step" has been filming for two months, and now, the filming is gradually coming to an end, and when Luo Mo came to the crew, Zhong Hanliang and Feng Shaofeng were playing against each other.
