Chapter 362 Interview with Time Magazine. Luo Mo appeared in the American edition of Time Magazine this time, and in many countries in Asia, everyone calls it a 'big event'.

Luo Mo is the first Asian star to appear in the US edition of Time magazine in recent years, and his appearance in this interview is also very convincing.

After the interview, Luo Mo's popularity in the United States will be higher, and he will be recognized by the mainstream media.

Soon, reporters from the United States came across thousands of rivers and mountains.

This blonde reporter Christian Rogge arrived with a smile on his face, and he was warmly received by Luo Mo's studio when he first came to China, which made this guy feel very satisfied.

So, an exclusive interview with Luo Mo was also carried out quickly.

This interview was specially arranged in the café, and in the soft light and music, the two began to chat.

"Luo Dao, seriously, I don't speak Chinese, if you don't mind, I hope you can talk to me in English." I've watched your show, and your English is so good that it will even make many Americans feel ashamed. Rogge said with a smile.

"As you wish." Luo Mo said: "I will try to answer your questions in English." Also, thank you for your compliment. ”

The two of them have a polite beginning, and they have also won each other's favor in this regard.

"The craze for Inception is still going on in the world, and crazy people are still continuing to interpret dreams of Inception, do you think they are talking about the essence of Inception for some of the results that are now in the mainstream?" Rogge asked his first question.

"This, I can only say, the director created a movie, but many things in the movie don't necessarily need to be explained everywhere." Luo Mo moved slightly and said: "This year, I also watched an American movie, "Shutter Island", I first need to praise, this movie is very good." And at the end of the movie, many people are discussing, is Shutter Island a real military base, or is the protagonist really delusional? You know, it's hard to choose, because anyway, everybody thinks it makes sense. And "Inception" is the same, whether the last spinning top will stop rotating, I think this requires everyone's own judgment, which can cause everyone to think and deconstruct after watching the movie, which is a very successful thing for me! ”

Luo Mo is not wrong, in fact, if a movie can cause others to think, this is indeed a quite successful thing for the director.

"Inception" has caused many people to think, and even caused a dream interpretation storm of "Inception" in the entire world, in this sense, Luo Mo is very successful.

"After the release of "Inception", many people were saying that this movie has the style of a Hollywood American blockbuster, very much like an American film, including "The Hangover", which was also said after the release, what is your attitude towards this point of view?" The journalist asked.

It's not that they have to have anything to do with Luo Mo and American style, they are not Smecta, and they don't have a special fondness for this kind of relationship, but many people think so, and they will ask.

Luo Mo pondered for a while and said: "Seriously, although I live in China, in addition to watching domestic films, I also watch Hollywood and American movies the most, so in many cases, I will also be unconsciously influenced by Hollywood blockbusters, so maybe in my "Inception" and "The Hangover", I will find the shadow of American blockbusters, but I dare to pack tickets, everyone can't see any director's style in movies!" Because although I was influenced, the film itself is my own work, and that's how it is. ”

What Luo Mo said is not wrong, even if this is posted to the last comment, there should be no problem.

"As the director of Inception, the current highest-grossing foreign-language film in North America, what do you think of the North American box office? You know, many people think it's a miracle! Rogge said.

"This is an achievement that I didn't expect, and of course, my own goal at the beginning was that Inception would eventually surpass Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and become the number one box office in North America. But in fact I found this movie to be better than I expected, it is a magical movie, I found a lot in the movie and understood a lot. But at the same time, I have to say, it's also the result of our hard work. "Inception" took nearly a year from the preparation for filming to the official shooting, and the official filming took nearly half a year! I've spent so much time working on Inception, so I'd rather see the final success of Inception as a reward for our efforts. ”

"So, what would you choose for your new film plan?" Rogge asked, "You know, this is a question that many people in the world are concerned about, just as they are concerned about who the future president of the United States will be." ”

This can be regarded as a disguised compliment, and it actually dragged Luo Mo and the President of the United States together without any discipline......

However, Luo Mo also had to admit that after hearing such words, he shamefully felt secretly happy in his heart, he smiled and said, "I thank you very much for your concern...... But, in fact, from "The Hangover" to "Inception", the movies I have made in the past two years not only want to gain the status of the domestic box office, but also hope to be able to make a name for themselves abroad. In the next films, I may focus more on the domestic market, and in the international market, I may have to take a break for a few years. As we all know, the aesthetic vision of Chinese films is different from that of foreign countries. ”

After Luo Mo said this, he immediately attracted Rogge's rebuttal: "But we all know that your "Hangover" and "Inception" are not only popular at the global box office, even in Chinese mainland, they have also broken records one after another!" ”

"But, as you know, a lot of people also accuse Inception and The Hangover of being films that I have a completely bias towards the Western market!"

"That's more about films in the domestic market...... Do you mean movies like "Red Sorghum" and "Alive"? Rogge asked with interest.

In fact, the beginning of Chinese mainland films really going to the world is not martial arts films, but literary films such as "Red Sorghum" and "Alive", although many people attack these films for getting high international praise by scandalizing China's image, but in fact, these movies are basically reflecting the national character of Chinese and reflecting the plot of China's land.

Many foreigners have the best image of Chinese films.

Luo Mo shook his head slightly and smiled: "I have to depend on the specific situation!" But I'm going to reshoot my old business for the time being – you know, I started out in comedy! ”

Rogge nodded in understanding.

An interview that went on in a good way, halfway through the coffee, and now that the heat has dissipated, the interview is almost over. The two stood up and shook hands, and Christian Rogge smiled: "Thank you for your answer, Mr. Luo Mo, you are a person who makes me remember deeply, and China is also a country that I remember deeply." ”

"Oh, thank you." Luo Mo turned to smile and said, "Why are you impressed by China?" I guess it's not because of something bad? ”

"Oh, of course not! In fact, this is my first time in China, and before I come to China, I always think of the terrible India, the dirty streets and the Ganges with corpses, man, I was surprised there, I didn't have a good time there, and the most important thing I wanted to do every day was to go back home! But a lot of people say that China is not as good as India, and that worries me and scares me. But in fact, I understand that you have a saying in China called seeing is believing! When I actually came to Beijing and Shanghai, I found that it is not much different from our Los Angeles and New York, and I am very happy and looking forward to coming to China again. Rogge said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you for your evaluation of our country." Luo Mo smiled and said, "Let's go, today's meal, count me as inviting you!" ”

"Thank you!"

When Luo Mo invited Rogge to dinner, this guy was a big eater, and he was very happy to eat. During the banquet, this guy suddenly said: "Luo Mo, in fact, I have a purely personal question I want to ask you, have you ever thought about developing in Hollywood?" ”

This question made Luo Mo stunned, and then smiled: "It depends on what they asked me to do in the past, if I am asked to be a director in the past, then I have to see how much authority I have and how much investment in the film is." Dude, don't blame me for being pragmatic, but I have to ask these things clearly, if I am to be an actor, at least I need to know what the script is, do you understand when I say this? ”

"Of course! Couldn't be clearer! I love your answer! I hope to see you again in the near future. ”

"Me too."

Luo Mo and Rogge raised their glasses and drank.

When Luo Mo appeared on the American edition of Time Magazine, the title was "The New Power of Chinese Films", and then there was an interview with Luo Mo, which described many of Luo Mo's personality traits, and many fans who were eager to know more about Luo Mo were very happy, and the number of Luo Mo's Twitter fans continued to soar, moving tirelessly towards the number of 10 million.

However, it is a bit of a pity that everyone said to Luo Mo to pay more attention to Chinese movies, and they really want to see Luo Mo have a new movie similar to or even surpassing "Inception".

I don't know if Lu Dao Luo Ge asked that on purpose, or because he received some wind, he revealed a little bit of wind to Luo Mo in advance, in short, what he said was soon fulfilled!

In June 2010, the crew of Hollywood's "Transformers 3" sent Luo Mo an open invitation, inviting him to participate in the performance of "Transformers 3" and play a role in this movie.

When I received the news, many domestic fans were very excited - Luo Mo is now so influential, and "Transformers 3" is such a good movie, and now he can be invited to participate, which is definitely a huge achievement for Chinese stars.

It's just that this news has just been sent, and another blockbuster news has also appeared - Luo Mo did not hesitate to refuse the invitation to "Transformers 3".

As soon as the news came out, Chinese fans felt very confused about Luo Mo, and they didn't know what was going on in the head of this guy.
