Chapter 312 "The Hangover" fell in North America. The filming of "Inception", in fact, Luo Mo himself has no experience in blockbusters, he can only shoot slowly based on the original movie plus his previous experience in making movies, and then combine the opinions of some other people to carry it out. However, even so, after all, with the experience of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" and "The Hangover", the current Luo Mo, the entire crew under his drive, the shooting speed is relatively good, not only fast, but also the completion efficiency is relatively high, after a few days of filming, "Inception" finally slowly survived the stage of "everything is difficult at the beginning" and moved towards the next stage.

The filming in Shanghai, according to the storyboard script, is not much more complete, and soon all the scenes in Shanghai will be over.

Compared with before, there is also a huge difficulty in "Inception" is the language barrier - although there is a little difference between Mandarin and Cantonese when filming "The Hangover", it is all Chinese, everyone can basically understand what the other party says, and now many Hong Kong people also speak Chinese.

But now "Inception" is facing English, although English is highly versatile, and English training in China also starts from the baby, but it turns out that no matter how you start from the baby, English is not so easy to learn. Therefore, this shooting requires the use of a translator, and it is a professional translator...... But even professional translators sometimes have situations where they can't explain each other clearly, and then they need to look up the dictionary and even use some more radical methods.

In short, we have spent a lot of effort on the issue of language.

However, many problems are also like this, they are all slowly overcome by everyone after they appear, and it is impossible to say that a crew can naturally solve all the problems encountered at one time.

After the scene in Shanghai is over, the crew of "Inception" will move to foreign filming, foreign shooting, the first scene to shoot is Paris, and after Paris, it will be Thailand in Southeast Asia...... the foreign live shooting venues needed for "Inception" are these two places, and even if the others really have to ask for foreign scenes, that is, send a few people to shoot some materials over there, and then use CG synthesis. After returning from abroad, Inception will start filming in the studio......

The shooting in the studio of "Inception" is the top priority of the whole movie, because many shots in the movie will eventually be born in the studio, and only by shooting the things in the studio well, the film, at least in terms of special effects, can be regarded as truly factory.

The crew just left Shanghai, Luo Mo invited a few important people to a meal, and he recently felt more and more that his situation was back to the time of filming, although he ate enough every day, he couldn't sleep well...... Self-directing and acting is quite a torture thing, and now Luo Mo can be said to be haggard.

Although "Inception" has been filming, the filming progress is good, and the efficiency is okay, but such a big crew, the things behind it are things that Ye Du has never encountered before. Every day, you need to deal with the general direction of the entire crew, and sometimes you have to take care of the trivial things of the crew. But Luo Mo didn't know if he was suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, in short, he was very worried, if someone else took over the shooting, he would not be able to shoot the original "Inception", based on such worries, Luo Mo did not let Shen Dan take over this movie, basically every shot, every shooting plan, every storyboard script was done by himself, in this way, the movie is indeed developing in the direction of his own conception, but Luo Mo is also facing a huge workload every day.

At the end of the filming here in Shanghai, he finally got a very limited rest, and on the way to the scene, Luo Mo kept squinting his eyes and accidentally fell asleep.

After a while, Luo Mo was suddenly patted on the shoulder, opened his eyes in a daze, and soon forcibly supported himself to cheer himself up, glanced at Yang Siyi, who was looking at him carefully, and asked, "What's wrong?" Got to the place? ”

"It's not...... It's Lao Zhou looking for you. Yang Siyi said, Luo Mo just hummed, closed his eyes for a little while, let his pupils get a little moisturized, and then tried his best to open his eyes wide: "Call me." ”

Yang Siyi handed the phone to Luo Mo, and Luo Mo answered the phone: "Hey, Lao Zhou?" What's up? Is Paris settled? ”

He asked about the venue in Paris, because the filming of "Inception" needs to use the Paris police to close the road, which is the first time in a Chinese-language film, so, in the absence of this negotiation experience, there are quite a few complaints in Paris, and this matter has been dragging on, and now the filming of "Inception" in Paris has reached a juncture, if this matter continues to drag on, it will definitely be a tragic loss for the crew.

"That's still being discussed." Zhou Sichao said: "But it's already soon...... Today I want to tell you something else, there is news from the distribution department, a breakthrough has been made in the negotiations in the United States, and soon, the United States will be able to launch publicity and release. ”

"Okay, I've got it." Hearing this, Luo Mo's mood was also shocked in vain, he didn't expect Zhou Sichao to tell him about it...... But it's a very good thing. Luo Mo has been waiting for the release of "The Hangover" in North America for a long time, but there has been a lack of a mutually acceptable condition.

And now, it should be that they have accepted some of Luo Mo's conditions here.

Now "The Hangover" is not only distributed in Asia, but also participated in various film exhibitions in some countries before, Luo Mo did not participate at that time, but there are special people in charge, and after the film exhibition, it has also been favored by distributors in many countries, and after that, distributors in many countries have said that they want to distribute the movie "Hangover" in their own countries, and the influence of "The Hangover" has expanded to all parts of the world.

These countries are mainly from South America and Australia, as well as some countries in Eastern Europe, where the box office share is not very realistic, because it is too trivial to be specifically responsible, so in these countries, most of the "hangover" after the release of the most popular choice of buyout...... At the beginning of August, "The Hangover" in addition to the countries that had already released the movie before, it also sought film distributors in 13 countries, and all of the 13 countries were sold by copyright buyout, and the 13 countries got a total price of 8.7 million US dollars, excluding some costs and the share with Huayi's distribution department, Luo Mo was also able to get 4.3 million US dollars, that is, 30 million yuan.

This not only allowed Luo Mo to get more income, but also added a lot of weight to "The Hangover" in the eyes of American distributors, so the negotiations in North America were finally completed.

"I know what to do, wait for me to go back and discuss it with them." Luo Mo himself also needs to go back to the capital to do some other things, so he plans to talk about the beginning and end of the release of "The Hangover" in North America, and bring everything into the scope of his knowledge.

After that, Luo Mo met Bai Zhenen, and the two were also very familiar, and he quickly put all the information in front of Luo Mo's eyes.

Founded in 1924, it is one of Hollywood's most prestigious film companies, and it is also a symbol of American cinema and Hollywood, with the names of its stars Charlton Hurston, Katharine Hepburn, Gary Grant, Clark Gable, and Greta Garbo still shining brightly. MGM's films have won a total of 170 Oscars to date, making them the most among major Hollywood studios.

In terms of the distribution of Chinese films, MGM is also widely famous, "Eating Men and Women", "The Wedding Banquet", "Alive", and "Changing Face" are all works released by them. The first Chinese-language films they released were mainly literary films, but in the past two years, Chinese-language films have declined, and their distribution in the United States has often caused them to lose money...... Therefore, in the past two years, MGM has also been close to breaking up with Chinese films.

Until the advent of "The Hangover", the box office is the most powerful evidence that can convince everyone, generally speaking, as long as it performs well in the Chinese mainland film box office market, that film can also have the capital to attract the attention of foreign businessmen. Many films that can only get high box office in China will also be bought by foreign distribution companies because of the box office halo that exists on them......

The box office aura of "The Hangover" is not only in China, but also in the entire East and Southeast Asian regions...... In this way, the box office persuasiveness of "The Hangover" is even stronger, and North America also attaches great importance to this movie, and there are several competing theaters, MGM, Sony Classics, Miramax, etc. are several of the strong contenders. It's not 2010 yet, otherwise, the Huashi Film Company has established a very complete North American distribution channel for Chinese films, and now it can only be carried out through these American landlords.

After some negotiations, MGM was finally chosen...... Because they can give a higher share and more resources, their conditions are relatively loyal.

In this way, Bai Zhenen and their current most inclined is MGM......

If everything goes well in the negotiations here, and the next publicity and distribution go well, "The Hangover" can be released in North America by mid-September this year at the earliest...... In that case, Luo Mo's film will set foot on the American market for the first time, and conquer the most fertile market in the world for the first time......

Luo Mo began to look at a lot of things that were in a box, and he wanted to make these things as familiar as possible in his mind.
