Chapter 538: "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" premiered in the United States
“CUT。”
With the order of the field reporter, several martial artists suspended their movements and began to rest.
The work is very dangerous and tiring, they have spent a lot of time practicing, and now under the capture of the camera, they have finally shown the results of the exercises, and from now on, their results are very good.
After filming a few more scenes, this complicated fight scene is basically over today's scene.
When Shen Dan came over and told Luo Mo that these scenes were basically over, Luo Mo pinched the T-shaped area of his eyebrows and the base of his nose with his right hand, and said, "Let them call it a day first." ”
The crew on the American side has a lot of rules, and everyone is strictly abiding by such rules, and they don't want to make any mistakes at all...... For example, they say that the eight-hour work system is an eight-hour workday, and if you exceed it, you will have to pay overtime, and there is no room for ambiguity.
Moreover, the crew also needs to follow a series of rules and regulations, which are directly formulated by the actors' union and American law...... Every time you film in the United States, you have to follow more things, which is a more cumbersome thing, but it is also a guarantee for the crew and actors.
After a lot of things are roughly done, Luo Mo still has to watch the replay at night, and if there is something that is not suitable, he must shoot again tomorrow.
However, fortunately, there is basically nothing that Luo Mo needs to reshoot tomorrow today, so Luo Mo explained to Shen Dan and asked him to be responsible for tomorrow's work, of course, mainly to cooperate with other people, those producers from Warner...... When Luo Mo was away, Shen Dan certainly had good energy as his representative, but he also had to respect the opinions of those producers.
Because Qianmo Entertainment Company invested half of the money in this film, and Luo Mo is the chief director, this film is basically in Luo Mo's hands, but after all, this is in the United States and Hollywood's territory, and many times you still have to listen to the main opinions of those producers.
Luo Mo has something to do tomorrow, and it's a big deal.
After several months of preparation, the release of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" in North America is finally about to officially begin! After all, this film is not a pure Luo Mo movie, so its popularity in the United States is extremely limited, but Luo Mo is the starring role, which is a pretty good gimmick, and after the publicity, there are many people who are interested in this film.
This is a key battle that Qianmo Entertainment needs to fight well, and it is also a good opportunity to test Luo Mo's influence in the United States and the distribution ability of Qianmo Entertainment in the United States.
Warner has also invested a lot of resources in "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King".
Although Luo Mo now has a high reputation in the world, "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" uses him as the leading actor, as long as the foreign box office requirements are not too high, they must be satisfied, and there can even be some surprises. This can be easily seen from the Southeast Asian box office of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" so far, as well as the European box office.
But whether this film can be accepted by Americans, whether Americans still like to watch this kind of costume action movie, in fact, everyone has no bottom in their hearts.
Even Luo Mo's heart has no bottom......
Warner's side and Luo Mo's expectation is that the North American box office of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" can keep about 80 million US dollars, and try to strive for 100 million US dollars.
In order to make Americans better accept that the American version of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" has been revised, removing some content that will be incomprehensible to Americans, and editing the whole film into a fast-paced movie, there is not much need for everyone to calm down and think, but will always follow the plot.
This is similar to the strategy of "The Grandmaster".
The American version of "The Grandmaster" is also as simplistic as possible, as fast as possible, without any dragging - if you talk to Americans about the inside, face, and about themselves, heaven and earth, and sentient beings, how can they understand the meaning?
As a result, the American version of "The Grandmaster" was basically completely cut into a beautiful Chinese martial arts action movie.
"Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" also minimizes the complex detective content, and makes action the main theme of the American version.
Luo Mo specially came to the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles to participate in the premiere of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King".
There is a five-day gap between the premiere of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" and the official release of this film, the reason is that it is necessary to spread the good reputation of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" through the mouths of the people who first saw this film.
Originally, "The Grandmaster" premiered a week in advance, and then received a good response, and it was released in 624 American theaters a week later.
In the past two years, although Luo Mo's movies have been used as support, other people's films in the United States have long been less popular than in the era of "Kung Fu" and "Ambush on All Sides", and now Chinese costume films have even become a poison point for some Americans and are reluctant to pay attention to them.
Therefore, if you want to make a Chinese film do well at the box office in the United States, you really need too high-intensity public relations.
This time, the early premiere of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" is a public relations.
Tsui Hark and Luo Mo both came to the scene in advance to receive people here, and today Warner is also face-saving, and invited many well-known figures in the entertainment industry to come over and cheer. Of course, it's not just Warner's face, but more importantly, Luo Mo is among them, and there are definitely many characters in the American entertainment industry who want to come over and make friends with Luo Mo now.
Tsui Hark watched many great directors who almost only appeared in legends come over to greet Luo Mo very affectionately, and his heart was also full of surprise and envy......
Although Luo Mo is very young, his strength and connections are not comparable to him.
Of course, he may have a wider network, but the people Luo Mo met in the foreign entertainment industry were not the ones he was able to maintain an intimate relationship with them before...... But now Luo Mo, in the mouths of these foreigners, almost everyone knows the same as him, and their attitude towards him is also very affectionate.
There is no way, Luo Mo now has that kind of connections in the United States......
Of course, no matter what his connections are, and no matter how many rivers and mountains he has created here, whether "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" is good or not, whether it can get good evaluations, and attract more Americans to watch it in the cinema, still depends on these people themselves and what they say about this film.
The reporters also ran after Luo Mo, and when he was just a little free, the microphones of the reporters came up: "Director Luo, you are the co-director of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King", so is this film mainly your work?" ”
This Luo Mo doesn't dare to be greedy, in fact, most of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" is the work of Xu Laowei, but if you don't say that this film is your own work, it will have some impact on movie sales.
After thinking about it, Luo Mo said: "There are a lot of my insights and things in this film, I think, as long as you watch the movie carefully, then your investment in it can also be seen." ”
Luo Mo still chose a relatively vague statement.
"What do you think will appeal to American fans about this film?" The reporter then asked.
"It's all about the quality of the movie...... I think everyone will applaud the quality of this film, the special effects and 3D effects in it, and the fight scenes and gorgeous ancient scenes in it. ”
"So do you have confidence in the quality of the film?"
"Of course...... Specifically, as long as you watch the film, I think everyone will be very interested in what is in it. ”
"What is the difference between the movie and the previous Chinese costume martial arts films? You must know that in the past two years, the sales of discourse costume martial arts films in European and American countries have not been large. A reporter said.
"It's all about quality and special effects, but also imagination...... Everyone will see more wonderful imagination in this film, and see more exquisite and beautiful fight scenes, I think, no one will refuse something like this......" After Luo Mo's words came out, the reporters didn't ask more questions.
Luo Mo walked out of the circle of reporters, came to the designated position and sat down in a low-key manner, waiting for the official broadcast of the film.
Although it is not an IMAX theater today, the projection system in the United States is more advanced, although it is an ordinary theater, the 3D effect is also very good, and there will be no dark picture. The 3D effect is also very good.
The picture of "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" began in the eyes of everyone at the scene.
The opening water battle scene made everyone a little amazed......
To tell the truth, although the technology of Hollywood in the United States is quite good, but in the past two years, Hollywood has also been a pseudo-3D masterpiece that cheats dad and cheats money, and it has also made everyone miserable enough, more and more people like to watch 2D movies instead of 3D movies, unless it is guaranteed by technology.
As a result, now everyone looks at it, "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" still has the style of Luo Mo's movie, at least in the 3D scene, it is not fake at all, and the opening scene of Tang Jun being subverted by the water is very shocking.
Next, the plot of the movie officially developed, a magnificent Tang Dynasty slowly walked towards American fans, beauties, beautiful scenery, everything was presented in front of these American fans, so that they couldn't help but be amazed, and those fight scenes opened their eyes, and they were scared to close their eyes many times, but they felt very cool to watch. Because they haven't seen a costume Chinese action movie for a long time, let alone a costume action movie like "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King", which has excellent 3D effects......
Luo Mo's expression in terms of action also amazed the big guys, and they all felt that even if Luo Mo went to be an action superstar, he was completely competent.
In addition, although "Di Renjie Shendu Dragon King" is a simple version of the American version of the specially edited, the plot still has to be roughly explained, and the plot is quite attractive, and the picture is beautiful, the fight scenes are exciting, and the 3D effect is realistic, which immediately attracted the attention of American people, and basically all of them have been immersed in the movie.
