Chapter 310: Final Preparations
See the fastest updates
Chapter 310 is the last preparation. Luo Mo's 'blockbuster plan' has been met with mixed reviews from fans, and there is both support and belittlement. And among the industry insiders, there are also many people who responded.
In fact, Luo Mo didn't attack anyone, but some people's sense of substitution is still very strong.
Before the release of "The Hangover", too many people waited to see Luo Mo's jokes, waiting to see his "Hangover" hit the street at the box office and fell a mouthful of teeth, who knew that after the release of "The Hangover", not only did Luo Mo not let Luo Mo fall off his teeth in the street, but let those who were waiting to see the jokes be slapped hard in secret, and they were all suffocated from internal injuries!
At this moment, they also began to be convinced of Luo Mo, and those who were not jealous could only be envious, and their feelings for Luo Mo were about to be transformed into envy...... Who knows, Luo Mo came from destroying the Great Wall again.
If Luo Mo can continue to honestly shoot a small-budget film, and then continue to make a lot of money, then they can only envy Luo Mo and can't be jealous. But now he has put all his net worth into a 'domestic boutique blockbuster' that he wants to make, and now he ...... Everyone has the mentality of watching a good show again - do you really think you can make blockbusters? Do you really think your strength has reached that point?
People with inflated egos tend to die miserably!
They all admit that Luo Mo really has a knack for shooting small-budget comedies, but now that he is going to shoot a blockbuster, it sounds really incredible. And this guy has inflated himself to the point of adopting a new technique like 3D...... How much hope and disappointment, how much investment and how much pain it hurts to hit the street!
Therefore, there are more and more people waiting to see Luo Mo's jokes now.
There are also some directors who make blockbuster movies who sneer at what Luo Mo said, thinking that this guy is really too self-confident......
The point is that he actually accused the practice of piling up stars - in fact, who doesn't know the way, piling up stars to exchange for blockbusters is a vicious circle, and the box office may not rise after the worst, but the star's salary is getting higher and higher, and the movie needs to spend more and more money. But even if they knew the truth, they had to do it...... But...... Hey...... You really can't blame Luo Mo, because people don't invest much money in movie stars, although there are Zhang Ziyi, Liu Ye, and Wang Lihong, but I heard that these three people all starred in a salary cut - damn! I really don't know what these three guys are crazy about, as for taking a salary cut to kneel and lick Luo Mo's chrysanthemum? Is he really that fragrant?
Moreover, Luo Mo also signed a big contract of 30 million US dollars with others...... I guess there's a bit of moisture in it, but he really spent about $20 million on special effects, so he's really qualified to accuse others of piling up stars and ignoring the quality of the movie.
Therefore, these directors are not happy with Luo Mo in their hearts, but they can't think of a reason to accuse him - because this thing is almost accusing some things from the perspective of fans, and their bombardment of Luo Mo will cause dissatisfaction among fans, not to mention, everyone else doesn't speak, they go to be the first bird, not to mention offending Luo Mo, a potential stock, and they will be besieged by fans...... That's a thing that doesn't make money, they don't do it.
Alas, so Luo Mo is really a thorn, and he has done it not once or twice. What's more, what he says is often beyond reproach. Everyone remembered another birdman named Feng Xiaogang who also likes to attack others with his mouth, and he has indeed made blockbuster movies without stacking stars...... Thinking that this guy's blockbuster that doesn't accumulate stars is Luo Mo's rise "Assembly", all of a sudden, what this guy thinks in his heart is really exciting. This guy Luo Mo is simply the second Feng Xiaogang...... No, Feng Xiaogang's movies don't make any money like him.
In this way, everyone only secretly expects Luo Mo to capsize in the gutter from the bottom of their hearts...... Break the halberd and sink into the sand once.
However, someone has publicly expressed their doubts about Luo Mo's "Inception", and this person is Lu Qi. He wrote publicly on his blog: "We often need to learn to walk and run, instead of being born thinking about running, this kind of self-aggrandizement is very scary." We do lack blockbusters, and we also need Chinese-language blockbusters that can save the market, but such blockbusters are not something that anyone can make! β
Lu Qi came out publicly, and everyone was happy.
This guy and Luo Mo are two enemies, and they are both young directors, and there are still gaps, and now Lu Qi finally rushed out under artillery fire.
Many people watched the scolding battle between the two people with the attitude of watching the show, and Luo Mo did not escape in the face of Lu Yan's provocation, but replied directly: "Whether you can make a movie or not, it's not up to some people to have the final say, I make my own movies and do my own things, at least, I won't point fingers at others." I've always been accustomed to speaking with facts, instead of fighting with people, and waiting for really convincing results to come out, if I'm wrong, then I don't have a second word, if I'm right, then the one who said cool things before will also reap the consequences! β
Luo Mo's words were shocking-this guy has been armed with gunpowder recently? Although it is said that a person like Lu Qi, who always takes the initiative to stir up trouble, should be scolded like this, but in the past, Luo Mo was always able to keep a smile when facing things, and he did not fight with everyone, and he always gave everyone an image of not fighting back.
But now he is actually fighting back against Lu Qi like this!
After Lu Qi received Luo Mo's news, he responded publicly: "There are indeed people who will reap the consequences!" β
Luo Mo's response was only four words: "Wait and see!" β
The scolding between the two started and ended in a hurry, but this contradiction has begun to gradually become public. Everyone is looking forward to the release of Luo Mo's "Inception", was he slapped in the face, or was he slapped in the face? This kind of contradiction, when the time comes, will make people who pay attention to gossip feel excited.
"Whoa!" Luo Mo poured another handful of cold water on his face, and the whole person was much more energetic.
After the release of "The Hangover" in March, Luo Mo has also experienced a not very busy time now. During this time, in addition to publicizing everywhere, participating in various activities, reading books and watching movies, he can also have more than two hours of martial arts training every day, and sleep for more than 7 hours, which can already meet the sleep needs of normal adults.
However, "Inception" has now entered the most advanced preparations, and a series of things such as shooting venues, studio construction, model construction, etc., have gradually restored Luo Mo's extremely busy state when making movies, with less rest time every day, and the daily martial arts training time has also begun to compress. In such a state, Luo Mo's headache vaguely began to happen again, and more importantly, he not only had a headache, but also became a little grumpy, and he couldn't get used to many things.
Lu Qi just touched his brow - this birdman, who has come to provoke war again and again, which onion is he? Even if he is a talented young director, no one else should be?
So, Luo Mo immediately responded fiercely.
Of course, he still kept his sanity, and did not add even a little foul language to it. But this time, he also made up his mind that even if it wasn't for anything else, just to slap this guy in the face, he also needed a movie that was popular at the box office and word of mouth at the same time, so that he had nothing to say!
The preparations for "Inception" are slowly coming to an end, and the film will start official filming ahead of schedule, with official filming starting on August 4. And now, many problems are slowly being solved.
The filming of "Inception" requires a lot of investment.
These are big investments, first of all, the venue...... The big scene here is no longer a "hangover" like the little car chase, there will be a downtown shootout, there will be a car chase, there will be a train rushing into the street...... Most of these places can't be built with CG, so they have to shoot in real life, and in order to shoot these shots, they need to find a lot of locations.
And "Inception" also involves filming abroad......
In the original version of "Inception", the big boss is a Japanese named Ito, and the actor Ken Watanabe is also a common actor of Nolan, and now the big boss of Luo Mo's version of "Inception" is played by American Jeff Bridges, and the background is set for people from a certain European country, so the Japanese palace in it will be replaced with a European palace...... This Luo Mo plans to go to Europe to grab materials on the spot, and then build the feeling of a palace in the studio, in addition, although Luo Mo is determined to use CG in the scene of Paris rewinding, he also needs to shoot materials in Paris, and several other shots need to be shot on the streets of Paris, which requires a venue in Paris, as well as the place where they had a dream at the beginning, Luo Mo plans to set it in Southeast Asia, and the most suitable thing for Southeast Asia is Thailand, he wants to shoot this section in Thailand, and there are several other scenes that need to be shot in Europeβ¦β¦
Here's the scene...... Then there's the studio...... Luo Mo had to use a green screen and miniatures in the studio to shoot the fierce battle of the most difficult snow-capped mountains, and then find a Chinese snow-capped mountain to replace it...... In this way, you need to find a large studio.
After the problem of the studio, what is needed is a variety of large props, in order to deal with the problem of weightlessness in the movie, Luo Mo needs to use a method that he has thought of for a long time - to know that it is really not easy to deal with weightlessness, American blockbusters have developed to the present, but their methods of dealing with weightless shots have always been very limited.
Luo Mo's current method was also inspired by "2001: A Space Odyssey", but this method requires training of actors, and it also requires the construction of large props for special use...... These models and props take a lot of energy, and many of the ideas for shooting the movie were come up by Luo Mo himself, so Luo Mo's participation in the whole process cannot be absent when preparing these props, so Luo Mo's energy consumption will be greater.
Then there are all kinds of shooting equipment, including Photo-Sonics4ER, Panavision, etc., which are very expensive equipment, and many of them are not available in China, so they can only be shipped from abroad...... It's a big hassle to transport it over. And you also need to rent a dedicated photographer, which is a big expense at that time......
Although some professionals hired by Luo Mo are specifically responsible for these things, many things need to be checked by him personally, so after the whole thing, Luo Mo was really tortured and felt a little exhausted.
Is this still a movie that hasn't started filming yet...... After the filming of the movie starts, these prepared things will really be put into practice, and many things will be tested in practice to see how they should be used, what difficulties they will face, and how they should solve them...... After these things were really suppressed, Luo Mo estimated that he could be directly crushed.
Forget it, now we can only come little by little and gnaw things down little by little.
