Chapter 308 Boot Meeting. After a few days of preparation, the launch meeting of "Inception" was officially held in Beijing. On this day, there were many reporters and spectators who heard the news, and the venue of the entire meeting was almost full.

Everyone is looking forward to Luo Mo coming out to answer many questions about "Inception".

After the crew of "Inception" met with everyone, some videos about dreams were played on the projection screen, some of which were edited out and some were actually filmed.

After the completion of this video, there are a few sentences -

"Do you believe in dreams?"

"Can you be sure that what you're doing is really a dream and not in real life?"

"How can you tell if you're in reality or in a dream?"

…… After a few sentences, a few gray-black characters of "Inception" rushed into everyone's retina, and then these four big characters became a collapsed city, and the bricks and soil were simple. After this video, everyone's eyes were drawn to it......

"This is Luo Mo's new movie idea...... Dream and Reality...... I just don't know how he wants to shoot? ”

"I thought it would be made into a small-budget literary film, but he plans to invest so much special effects in the movie, it shouldn't be a small-budget literary film."

"With so many stars and such a big investment, it's the first time in Luo Mo's movie, I don't know what kind of blockbuster he plans to create?"

"Dream and reality, I'm really looking forward to it!" In the midst of everyone's discussions, Luo Mo and the crew began to walk to the front of the stage, and the official meeting began. Luo Mo's meeting, there are not too many bells and whistles, everything is based on practicality. In the specific question session, there will be questions from the audience, and the audience who asks the questions will be able to participate in the lucky draw, and the prize of the lottery is Freud's "The Interpretation of Dreams".

In fact, even if there is no lottery, everyone will definitely ask questions.

Before everyone asked questions, Luo Mo first published a commentary of his own:

"Before, I talked a little bit about my new film "Inception" at the celebration party of "The Hangover", and I was planning to make a movie about dreaming, but my film is different from traditional dream films, and "Mulholland Drive" and "Sensual World" are not the same genre. My films are mostly sci-fi, drama, and action films. The theme of this movie, of course, I have said it several times, is dreams, and as for the specific situation, everyone will know it after the movie is released. ”

"And my film, the current temporary budget will be more than 400 million yuan, of which the special effects investment is 200 million, because I need to create a blockbuster with super big scenes and super dazzling effects. Also, in terms of special effects, I will use a technique, which is 3D real shooting, which means that "Inception" will eventually be made into a movie with 3D effects...... In the movie, 3D cameras will be used to shoot real time, as well as IMAX real shooting techniques......"

Speaking of which, there is already an uproar below!

3D！

These two words shocked everyone, and even many people's blood immediately boiled.

Previously, Luo Mo's studio only released the news that "Inception" would invest 200 million to make special effects, and did not say that they wanted to make the movie have 3D effects. Fortunately for IMAX, more than a dozen IMAX theaters have now been built in China, and some IMAX movies have been released, which have begun to slowly become popular.

But 3D movies are different......

Luo Mo began to explain to everyone some of the information he had collected about 3D movies-

China's 3D film is the enlightenment of 2008's "Adventure to the Center of the Earth", in which the fine microorganisms at hand, the rare and exotic beasts roaring by, and the wonderful feeling of being like a roller coaster...... The high ticket price of 100 yuan and unprecedented visual impact allowed the film to be screened on a limited 80 3D screens for 27 weeks, with a box office of 67 million yuan, an average of 800,000 yuan per screen. And the box office 3. The 200 million yuan "On the Red Cliff" was screened on 3,600 screens, with a box office of more than 80,000 yuan per screen. Comparing two films, the average screen box office of a 3D movie is 10 times that of a regular film! It is a miracle that the box office of selling a movie pays for the investment in projection equipment.

A series of imported 3D blockbusters have set off a 3D boom, and many domestic theaters have expanded and updated their projection equipment to promote 3D movies.

In 2008, the number of 3D screens in China was only 86, and the box office of 67 million of a "Adventure in the Center of the Earth" greatly stimulated the appetite of the owners of various theaters, and they have upgraded their 3D screens and equipment, and by the time of the release of "Ice Age 3", which competed with "The Hangover" at the box office this year, the number of 3D screens in China has rapidly grown to 350. When "Avatar" is released, the number of 3D screens in China will exceed 600, making it the world's second largest 3D film market after the United States. The target for the number of 3D screens in China in 2010 is even 1,300.

Luo Mo told everyone about these materials, and then said: "Therefore, our current 3D movie screening environment has gradually matured, and I think it is ......necessary to use a "Inception" to open the chapter of Chinese stereoscopic movies at this time."

There was another sound of ear-to-ear exchange below.

Luo Mo said it with good evidence, and showed everyone a very beautiful prospect. "Inception" uses a foreign special effects team to produce a three-dimensional movie, which is really surprising and makes people look forward to it even more.

At the same time, everyone also saw Luo Mo's daring to be the first......

"Of course, whether it's 3D technology or IMAX technology, it's all for the sake of good movies. My philosophy in making movies is that no matter what a movie looks like, if it can't even tell a story, it's not a good movie. My cinematic skills are not only for the visuals, but also for the story. At the end of the day, all I want to do is make Inception a blockbuster! ”

Hearing this, everyone below was also infected by Luo Mo's surging passion, and the crackling applause immediately rang out.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, and although he didn't believe that Luo Mo could really make this movie with the prospects he said, Luo Mo's words were very emotional and very infectious, so that everyone couldn't help but applaud along with Luo Mo's words.

"Thank you, thank you." Luo Mo pressed his hand down slightly, signaling everyone's applause to stop temporarily, and at the same time said with a smile: "That's all for my speech, and then everyone can ask questions freely......"

There was another round of applause, and then it was handed over to the press officer, who asked someone to ask some questions, and reporters and ordinary fans had to accept the press officer's deployment.

Soon, under the command of the press officer, the first reporter had already asked: "Luo Mo, this time in "Inception", you plan to make a blockbuster, which is different from "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", what contributed to your transformation?" Do you feel that you have been able to control the theme of big productions, and some small movies can't satisfy your own film pursuits? ”

This reporter's question is also a bit sharp, because if Luo Mo doesn't answer this question well, it is likely to become self-aggrandizement in the eyes of some people.

Luo Mo thought about it for a while, and then said: "I've been thinking about why our movies can't sell well now, and the box office of blockbusters is rising, but the reputation is not very good." This question has also been bothering me...... This time, I put the plan of "Inception" on the table, and what I want to practice is my specific view of the problem, as well as my own solution to the problem. I want to make a blockbuster, make a Chinese blockbuster, have our style, have a high investment, but not purely use high investment to accumulate stars, but use these investments to do special effects, make the movie look better, use this investment to make the script of the movie more exquisite, make our movie scenes bigger, and the effect better! ”

When Luo Mo said this, there was a slight silence at the scene, and after a while, this silence began to dissipate.

Because of what Luo Mo said, if he had a little more association, it would make him offend many other directors.

Today's Chinese blockbusters are all stacked with stars, and then a little special effects are casually invested, and the production is also more casual, and the script must be completely in line with the elements of the blockbuster...... This is a Chinese-style blockbuster. Moreover, the current Chinese blockbusters are generally focused on the investment in costume martial arts stories, and there are very few urban movies, especially those like Luo Mo, which sound like new ideas, some new ideas, and there may be new things when shooting......

And Luo Mo is saying this now, with a reflective attitude, it seems that he is standing on a high platform and pointing out others, which will definitely provoke a lot of contradictions, so that some people scold Luo Mo for what he is, and dare to say that he wants to make a Chinese blockbuster.

"What are the main characteristics of the blockbuster you shoot like this, or what kind of attractions do you think there are to attract the audience?" The second reporter also asked questions mercilessly.

Luo Mo smiled slightly: "I think that a movie, no matter how gorgeous the special effects are, no matter how many stars, no matter what kind of shooting or editing methods are used, but these all need to have a premise, that is, to tell a story well, tell a story of a movie." And my film, it should be said, I will try my best to return all the elements in the movie to the story itself, so that everyone can feel my story, this is the biggest feature, I will use all the factors to tell a good story. And these methods of telling a good story, with my great investment, will naturally have things that everyone likes to watch, action, big scenes, explosions, shootouts, chases...... These will be there. ”

Let's think about it, in fact, the huge investment in special effects of this movie, as well as the 3D effect, is enough to attract everyone to become a selling point, many people finally go to the cinema, and naturally choose some movies with particularly good effects to watch, which is also one of the selling points of blockbusters.

"Inception" will definitely attract many people to the theater in terms of special effects and scenes.

If what Luo Mo said is true, he can really use all the special effects investment, and a total of 400 million yuan of investment, then this movie will definitely be able to pile up first-class visual effects and scenes, which is no problem.

With such scenes and effects, the most important thing is that Luo Mo also said that he will return to the story itself, and his past movies, "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", especially "The Hangover", really have no choice in terms of story and plot, so I can also believe what he said about returning to the story itself.

With such a guarantee, it is only natural that "Inception" has its own selling point.
