Chapter 305 3D Real Shot, Weta Digital." Thank you, Director Luo. I was flattered to be able to think of me as a movie script like this. ”
Zhang Ziyi spoke, twisting the teacup with her right index finger and thumb, and gently placed it on the table, the smile on the corner of her mouth looked no more, no less, and the smile was quite good.
She and Luo Mo met in a high-end teahouse, and there were many celebrities who would come over, so Luo Mo didn't have anything to do when they opened a box, and there wouldn't be too many people paying attention. At the foot of this imperial city, there are many wealthy people, many people with big officials, and many well-known people...... People don't necessarily care completely.
"There's a reason why I think of you, because I think this movie needs you." Luo Mo smiled: "Teacher Zhang, how are you thinking about it?" ”
Luo Mo's attitude towards many people, even if he is now famous and a hot director, he still maintains a very polite attitude towards people. He will not be arrogant about his status and status completely unable to catch up with his own people because his own popularity and popularity continue to increase.
And for stars like Zhang Ziyi who debuted and became famous relatively early, although the attitude is definitely neither humble nor arrogant, politeness is essential.
Not to mention that Zhang Ziyi's debut time is almost ten years longer than Luo Mo, and she is five years older than him in terms of age, even if she is younger, Luo Mo will also call her a teacher. It's just that whether they dare to take the title of teacher is another matter.
"Director Luo, don't call me that, let's change your name." Zhang Ziyi smiled: "Just call my name or whatever." ”
"......" Luo Mo pondered for a while, this is not easy to shout, after thinking about it, he can only say: "Then I will call you Sister Zhang......" Anyway, Zhang Ziyi is older than her, that's it...... In fact, no matter who you call your brother or sister, there are relatives and relatives, for example, Zhou Xun Luo Mo also called her sister, but the relationship with her is incomparable to others.
Zhang Ziyi felt a little bad about this title, not because Luo Mo called her older...... The key is that she thinks that Luo Mo's current status in the entertainment industry is really inappropriate, and it is really inappropriate to call herself a sister, and it is not good that some people think that she is relying on the old and selling the old.
"Director Luo, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me by name. Zhang Ziyi said.
Anyway, it's just a title, others are indeed older than themselves, and it's nothing to call sister, so Luo Mo smiled: "It's okay, that's it, you don't call me Luo Dao, just call me by my name." ”
"How can that work!" Zhang Ziyi is not following now, in a word, this is not what it used to be! If it was Luo Mo in 06, he would even call Zhang Ziyi Sister Zhang, which would cause others to frown and think that he had a relationship, at that time, some people like this directly called him by name and did not have the slightest psychological pressure, but now it is different, now Zhang Ziyi will even call her sister because of Luo Mo, and Luo Mo will make her feel uneasy for Luo Dao......
This is the entertainment industry that looks glamorous and harmonious on the surface, but is actually hierarchical.
Luo Mo climbed up...... So many people can't look at him with old eyes.
Luo Mo no longer insisted on her title for herself, and it was better to call her Director Luo.
At this time, Zhang Ziyi said: "I like this script very much, and I feel very surprised, you can always find some amazing ideas." Director Luo,I'll discuss it with my agent again.,But from my personal point of view,I like this book very much.。 ”
Luo Mo nodded: "Well, it should be, just tell me directly if you have news." However, Sister Zhang, I have to say something first, the approximate budget for the investment scale of my film may exceed 400 million, but I plan to spend only a maximum of 20 million on actors...... So our salary may still be the same price as before, 8 million ......"
"Well, I know all of that." Zhang Ziyi smiled: "But when I encounter a good book, even if the salary is lower, it's not bad." ”
"Okay, then you can think about it." Luo Mo talked to Zhang Ziyi about some other things later, he and Zhang Ziyi didn't know each other before, but now they know each other, so they said a few more words, talking about family things or something. Zhang Ziyi found more and more that the Luo Mo in front of her became famous at a young age, but there was a rare calmness on her body, there was no feeling of arrogance, and she didn't even have the feeling of flying off the young people.
Luo Mo is also pressed too much on his body, plus he is planning some things all day long, and he is planning to plan and go, and things are too much, and Luo Mo himself has lost the feeling of many young people.
The day after meeting Zhang Ziyi, Luo Mo received news that Jeff Bridges agreed to the request to make this movie in the United States, with a salary of 800,000 US dollars...... In fact, this price has been compressed to the extreme, but even so, converted into RMB, that is more than 5.4 million, and for Americans, this salary is actually very low......
Now, in terms of actors' expenditures, it is difficult for Luo Mo to reach the goal of the 5% promised by everyone first, and Zhang Ziyi and Jeff Bridges alone will have a salary of more than 13 million......
On the third day, Zhang Ziyi gave Luo Mo a word of approval, she agreed to take over the filming of "Inception", and the salary was set at 8 million.
At this time, Luo Mo also received audition applications from many other celebrities...... After the influence of "The Hangover", there are few people who are not interested in Luo Mo's new movie. After all, Luo Mo's "Inception", at least in China, has not been filmed first, and Luo Mo still has an aura of repeated victories, many people also want to come to join in the fun, it is best to get Luo Mo's favor.
Among these people, Luo Mo immediately saw two names, and in his heart, he had roughly decided on the role of the outpost...... This role needs to be well shown in some actions, and Luo Mo just has a handsome star in front of him...... Although he can't talk about any acting skills, the key is that this person has enough popularity in the United States and the vast number of Chinese areas, and he is willing to pay himself for this movie - it seems that Luo Mo's popularity and the attraction of his new movie are enough to make these people pay something.
And this star is Wang Lihong...... He needs to have a fight scene in the movie, and he has to control some things, but he just filmed "Big Soldier" with Jackie Chan, although his skills are not very good, but he has practiced some after all, and now he has promised to lower his salary to play this role that does not require too many acting skills, Luo Mo thinks it is okay.
Another character...... is the unlucky rich second generation who was implanted in the dream, his role, Luo Mo slowly confirmed that one object was Liu Ye...... Liu Ye also promised to reduce his salary.
is different from Wang Leehom's idol faction, Liu Ye is a powerful faction, Luo Mo now has only one Golden Horse actor by his side, but Liu Ye is a Golden Horse Golden Rooster double actor, and often haunts major foreign film festivals, and has also won some awards, as well as the French Knight of the Order of France, which has a certain reputation abroad...... And now he is willing to lower his salary after seeing the book, which also allows Luo Mo to finalize his shortlist.
And Wang Lihong and Liu Ye's salaries, after their own reductions, add up to 6 million.
It is also a helpless move for them to reduce their salaries, it is really Luo Mo's script is very attractive, and it looks like he is going to do a big job, and this person and his movies are too promising, in this case, it is also necessary to reduce the salary of self-reduction.
The salary of the two, Wang Lihong is 3.5 million, although his main career is in singing, his film salary is not low, and his salary in "Big Soldier and Little General" is close to 7 million......
So, up to now, the actor problem of "Inception" has basically been solved, and the main actors are: Luo Mo, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Mengya, Zhang Hanyu, Liu Ye, Wang Lihong...... With such a salary space, the 5% that Luo Mo told everyone has become, so he hides everyone's salary and will not disclose it to the public.
After the actor's problem is solved, the next step is the special effects.
When it comes to the specific categories of the movie "Inception", it can be said to be science fiction, or it can be said to be drama, thriller, action, gunfight...... And it's also a full-blown special effects blockbuster, with all sorts of unbelievable visual scenes, flooded houses, cities collapsing, world shattering, gravity disorders, and Paris rewinding...... Each of these special effects is groundbreaking, and it also won the original "Inception" the title of Best Visual Effects at the Academy Awards......
Luo Mo wants to copy "Inception", in order to make everyone watch it well, in order to make this movie look good, these scenes also need to be copied without leaving any ground, but copying these is a huge project. Chinese special effects techniques still lag behind foreign countries in many places, and even some ordinary special effects scenes will be considered fake, not to mention so many unbelievable and groundbreaking special effects scenes now......
This is also the reason why Luo Mo is a little worried that he will mess up "Inception", he is very worried that the special effects of the movie will repeat the mistakes of many domestic films in his own hands.
Therefore, in order to solve this problem, Luo Mo plans to invite foreign special effects teams, and they want top special effects teams...... He plans to bring in people from eWetaDigital (Chinese known as Weta Digital), the special effects team that produced Avatar, to participate in the production of Inception.
In the past, many movies started to do special effects after all the shooting materials were shot in one go, so this process is called post-production...... And now Luo Mo plans to involve them in the filming of the movie, and then gradually infiltrate the concept of shooting the movie in the process of filming to achieve the effect they want.
And...... What Luo Mo wants to do now is that he wants to use the 3D special effects skills of "Avatar" to ...... "Avatar" will be released in December this year and will be released in China in January next year......
The 3D effect of "Avatar" has immediately become a milestone in the history of human 3D films, a technique that appeared decades ago, because of the emergence of "Avatar", it has climbed to the peak, and then, the global 3D movies continue to be released.
Luo Mo took advantage of his foresight, and when "Avatar" made a series of 3D craze, the movie was suddenly released, and everyone would see the second 3D movie...... The result is ...... It's going to be nice for sure.
Therefore, Luo Mo also began to immediately find some people who were more familiar with that side and negotiate with the people of Weta Digital, even if the price was higher.
