Chapter 324 Extended Impact. The news of the box office success of "The Hangover" in the North American market has been studied by many countries in the world, and movie fans and filmmakers in many regions have even begun to pull films for "The Hangover" frame by frame, wanting to understand what kind of wonder this legendary movie that controls one million seconds every second.

After such research, more and more people have discovered that "The Hangover" is actually a movie that sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, and you can hardly find any Chinese comedy or even the style of Chinese movies in it...... In fact, this movie is just an American comedy under the yellow skin package...... It's just that even if such a comedy is made by an American director or something, it is still an absolutely good film, because the idea of the movie and some unique things are so funny...... The ideas are so wonderful.

After this kind of research, many people began to wonder about the question - is it possible that Americans nowadays have begun to like the kind of movies that appear to be people from other countries, but are actually American films? Or do they also start to like movies that are drenched in scolding and mixed with all kinds of swearing, and it is difficult to have any advantage in terms of censorship?

As a result, some guys who wanted to try the American market began to take action, including some Chinese filmmakers...... As a result, within a year of the release of "The Hangover", all kinds of foreign and even American comedies began to spring up like mushrooms after a rain rain - titles such as "One Night of Laughter", "The Night That Disappeared", "Drunken Party", "Drunken Night" and other titles constantly challenged the lower IQ limit of the people of the world, and some of these films were really appreciated by American distributors, hoping to create a miracle at the American box office of foreign-language films like MGM...... It's tragic......

Many Americans do not hesitate to insult such films as "despicable imitators", "pathetic parrots", "ridiculous clowns" and other hurtful words, which make the makers of these movies embarrassed after hearing them...... As a result, this frenzy of imitating "The Hangover" ended vigorously, and many investors found that they used the same model as "The Hangover" but the movie still failed miserably, and they felt very curious about what Luo Mo should do, and their "Inception" had already caused a storm around the world.

At this time, these people suddenly remembered a sentence that was about to be said by everyone - "has always been imitated and never surpassed ......"

The speed at which "The Hangover" makes money makes Luo Mo himself feel particularly magical, and it also makes him find that making money from foreigners is really cool, especially in those places where the film supporting industry is already very mature and developed! At this moment, there will definitely be no problem with the follow-up funding of his "Inception", the question is just how much production and publicity costs he intends to invest in this film.

Of course, Luo Mo also clearly knows that he can make money so easily abroad because of the prestige of "The Hangover" in the North American box office market...... If "The Hangover" doesn't have a good reputation at the box office, the American film ends hastily with fifty or sixty thousand dollars...... It is conceivable that even if Luo Mo wants to kneel and beg these people to buy the DVD and other copyrights of his "Hangover", it is impossible.

Therefore, Luo Mo knew that if he wanted to make a lot of money in the future, he would have to compete for his own movies...... Competing in the Chinese market and competing in other markets...... "Inception" must also embark on such a path.

When "The Hangover" hit more than 60 million US dollars at the box office in two weeks after its release in North America, Chinese mainland almost rejoiced, and Luo Mo was also at this time, and his reputation among fans in Chinese mainland has almost been pushed to the highest -

"Magical Director", "China's Most Talented Director", "China's Most Amazing Director", "Magical Young Director" and other halos have all been added to Luo Mo's body, which makes Luo Mo's reputation in China close to the top of the entertainment industry, and he has stood at the top of the Chinese entertainment industry in just five years......

Of course, there is not such a high prestige now...... Although it seems that his reputation has become very loud and he has become a figure who can influence many people in China, in fact, he is still not comparable to some of the old superstars. After the other superstars have been frustrated in one or even two or three films, there will still be many fans who still worship them, and their box office appeal is still very strong......

Two of these obvious examples are Aaron Kwok and Tim Koo, two difficult brothers in the bad film industry, Aaron Kwok even starred in the "City on Alert" kind of earth-shattering bad movie, but it is still easy for people to make a comeback...... Of course, these are not superstars, but their experiences are more suitable for analogy.

And Luo Mo ...... Now his aura, the two most important words, is called magical. So if his next movie hits the box office, he will probably be knocked off the altar in an instant, because the feeling of constantly creating miracles in him has disappeared. The fame he has gained now for making those films is certainly a good thing, but at the same time it is also a heavy shackle. Because people have not allowed him to fail, the burden of this shackle is very heavy.

Therefore, this time his "Inception" is also a situation where he can only win and not lose...... Of course, if Inception can be followed by a big victory, his myth will be stronger and his position will be more solid.

Of course, even if it wasn't for these, Luo Mo had to shoot "Inception" well.

Now the entire crew is filming "Inception" on the set in the suburbs of Beijing, and Luo Mo is dispatching and directing at this time, holding a walkie-talkie in one hand and a relatively rudimentary megaphone in the other, staring nervously at the various schedules on the scene.

The scene is in a state of hustle and bustle...... In order to shoot this shot, Luo Mo put a lot of effort into it, and he was only allowed to win and not lose......

The field staff were busy communicating, busy arranging the venue, and the props began to check for any inappropriate props under the leadership of Meng Yifan, after all, what they are building now is a set of a European palace, so many places have to be inspected......

At this time, Shen Dan ran over to Luo Mo's side, put it next to Luo Mo's ear and said to Luo Mo: "Senior, those guys said that there was something wrong with the water pipes and needed to be repaired." ”

"Okay, let them hurry up, don't get to the bottom and the whole crew will stop and wait for them!" Luo Mo commanded Shen Dan, and then Shen Dan nodded and trotted out.

Luo Mo frowned, sure enough, these many shots are not so easy to deal with, and many times people will face more problems, but he still has to solve these problems, one by one.

For example, this scene is a very difficult scene to shoot now, they want to shoot the scene at the beginning, the protagonist wants to steal the dream of the guy who gave him a job in the future, but then he begins to react, the dream space collapses, the palace collapses, and the flood rushes in from all sides......

One of the biggest difficulties in this shot was the splashes that could have been made with CG effects...... But Luo Mo thinks that since the whole palace is set up, there is actually no need for CG, and the feeling of CG will give people more unreal, he has seen the movie called "The Legend of the White Snake" on the mobile hard drive, and the CG effect of the water mountain in it is ...... Hehe.

Since you don't use CG, you need to find a way to shoot on the real scene, Luo Mo's method is actually quite crazy - he wants to install 26 water tanks on the windows around the palace that has been built, and these 26 water tanks are filled with 18 tons of water...... When it's time to shoot, the 26 water tanks with the mechanism will be under control and rush to the built palace scene as fast as possible.

At that time, the feeling of the crazy impact of the water has already been formed......

This idea actually has a lot of risks, but also has a lot of overhead, originally it has cost a lot of money to build this European palace on real life, but now it has to use a big flood to destroy this palace, and it is also necessary to install a water tank with a mechanism, and it is necessary to shoot it in real time...... All in all, it's a big investment.

But Luo Mo is still willing to shoot with live action.

Luo Mo has increasingly discovered a lot of benefits of live-action shooting, of course, this is not to say that he has become a fan of Nolan completely in filmmaking, but live-action shooting does have some advantages that are difficult to complete with other computer special effects...... It's that realism that bears the brunt of this. For example, in this scene, after Luo Mo's conception and adjustment and real use, under the shooting of the 3D live camera, the feeling of water rushing down from all directions will be very real, which is something that CG can't do...... Of course, the CG technology in the United States is amazing, and maybe it can be done with this, but it is estimated that the cost and cost will be greater than now, and it may not be able to achieve the completely real effect like now.

Thinking that such a shot appeared on the screen of a 3D movie, many people had to experience the feeling of this kind of water crashing down from all directions, and a strong sense of pride also emerged in Luo Mo's heart...... He is indeed trying to create something, trying to welcome the arrival of a new era of cinema.

Of course, this is only in Luo Mo's imagination now, and it is really transformed into the most effective effect, and there are still several essential processes to go in the middle. These processes are also bound to be very complex.

And right now, what Luo Mo is most worried about is the remake...... This is no ordinary shot, NG can just start over casually...... The shot in front of me is completely different, once the reshoot is reshot, the water needs to be drained, the previous props have to be rearranged, and the water has to be dried so that there are no traces to be seen, and a lot of resources and more importantly, a lot of time has to be wasted......

Therefore, Luo Mo is not qualified to NG on this lens at all...... Therefore, he strictly demanded that everyone involved in this scene must do their best to ensure the normal shooting of this scene.

Finally, all the preparations are in place.

Meng Yifan and Shen Dan were also running back as soon as possible and told Luo Mo that they were already ready, Luo Mo nodded, his face flashed a little resolute, and then he raised the megaphone and yelled at everyone: "Prepare to shoot!" One must pass! It's a death order! ”

Everyone said yes...... Then, after the scene took the order, all the twenty-six tanks were opened, and the white water rushed down from the windows like twenty-six dragons, and with a loud bang it slammed into every part of the palace.
