Chapter 41: The Great Leap
The news that Li Xiuying passed on to Zhou Sichao was that now Huayi Brothers Company had arranged for Luo Mo to play a role in the past!
Moreover, this is not an ordinary character, not even a character in a TV series...... It's a movie, a character in a blockbuster!
"Night Banquet"!
Although Luo Mo saw in a Chinese-style blockbuster analysis report that "Night Banquet" had a low reputation and a good box office, Feng Xiaogang was also widely criticized.
But it's a blockbuster!
Being able to play a role in a blockbuster is really a complete big thing for Luo Mo, a marginal star like "Soldier Assault" who has not yet been released.
"Night Banquet" gathers big-name male stars such as Wu Yangu, Huang Xiaoming, and Ge You, as well as real first-line actresses and actresses at the top of the pyramid in the Chinese entertainment industry such as Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi, which can be described as a gathering of big names.
"Night Banquet" claimed to invest 200 million yuan, and when it was released in Europe, it claimed to have invested 40 million US dollars, which was an investment of 300 million yuan at the exchange rate at the time. But in fact, the real investment in this movie should be about 80 million to 100 million yuan.
This is Huayi Brothers' annual blockbuster, in fact, "Night Banquet" at this time should have been cut and sent to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for review, this is just a shot reshot because of plot problems.
For this shot, the Huayi brothers arranged for Luo Mo to ......
In fact, fighting for this role, but Li Xiuying also used a lot of resources, it just so happened that there were other Huayi brothers in the crew of "Struggle" in addition to Luo Mo, and judging from their reactions, Luo Mo's performance was very good.
In this way, Li Xiuying finally won this role to Luo Mo's head!
Filming in that kind of blockbuster with big names, although it is only a make-up, and I can't see Zhang Ziyi and other big-name stars, Feng Xiaogang was still there when he was filming.
For Luo Mo, this is a rare opportunity, a rare experience, and a rare qualification.
Luo Mo was also very excited when he heard the news...... Grandma's, this is a big leap forward, from the TV drama circle to the film industry all of a sudden, and it is a big production like "Night Banquet"!
Luo Mo felt that he had really made a ...... No matter what the result is, at least he showed his face, and his qualifications will look much better in the future-
"Soldier Assault" male number two.
"Struggle" male number two.
"Night Banquet" performance......
The first two, after being launched, must be well-known and popular TV series, and the latter one, although the reputation is not good, it is a super production!
Such a resume is enough for Luo Mo to receive many roles.
It's just that he doesn't know if there will be any conflict between Lu Dao and the schedule of "Struggle" when he goes to shoot "Night Banquet", which needs Luo Mo to think carefully about it.
However, after asking Zhou Sichao, Zhou Sichao said that there was no problem in general, and it was enough to communicate and coordinate with Zhao Baogang a little.
In this way, there are no worries about the future.
A few days later, Luo Mo set off from Xiamen and arrived in the imperial capital...... From South China to North China, this is also the first time Luo Mo has been to the imperial capital.
The suburbs of Beijing are Luo Mo's destination this time.
"Night Banquet" was filmed in the suburbs of Beijing in the early stage, and the current post-production is also completed in the suburbs of Beijing.
To get such an opportunity, it is also a very celebrating thing for Luo Mo, the budget for this reshoot shot is four days, but Luo Mo can get a reward of 10,000 yuan from it! After all, this is making a movie, and the money is a lot to make.
Luo Mo once saw in an analysis report that in 2013, on the Forbes list of Hollywood movie stars, the first place was Robert Downey Jr., the star of "Iron Man", and his ability to attract money in a year has reached a terrifying 7500W US dollars.
This is a very scary statistic, and it makes people feel scared when they see it.
This is the earning power of Hollywood stars, which makes people blush and envy, but so much salary is absolutely just a myth in China.
Luo Mo just thinks about it casually, the main thing he is facing now is the performance of "Night Banquet".
I have to say that the role that Li Xiuying won for him this time is really unusual, this role can't be counted, at least it's much better than the dragon set.
This character also has some room for Luo Mo to grasp, because this character is faced with a choice.
After Luo Mo came here, he received the latest exciting news...... Luo Mo wants to play with Wu Yan!
Hearing this news, Luo Mo himself couldn't help but be a little excited, of course, this is not because he likes Wu Yan's group, in fact, there are not too many stars that Luo Mo particularly likes, and the domestic ones are Xing Ye and Cheng Long, and most of the others are not very feeling, they may appreciate it, but they can't reach the level of liking.
He was excited that he was going to play against Wu Yan this time!
Wu Yan's group is now a popular student in Hong Kong and the mainland, this handsome boy who has been martial arts since elementary school is becoming an idol in the hearts of many people.
After "Eavesdropping 2", "The King's Feast", and "Eavesdropping 3", Wu Yan's group's achievements have reached the pinnacle and promoted to domestic first-line male stars.
In "Night Banquet", the person who mainly plays against Wu Yan is Zhang Ziyi.
And now, it's Luo Mo......
This time, Luo Mo came to this crew temporarily, and the later reshoot, but the others were all before, only Luo Mo was a newcomer.
Although it is said that it is now a reshoot of "Night Banquet", the current "Night Banquet" has basically come out, and there are only a few shots left, so Feng Xiaogang is not very busy, he deliberately took time to meet Luo Mo.
Feng Xiaogang started making comedies, Feng Xiaogang + Ge You once became the box office guarantee of the Chinese film industry, and "Big Names" became a box office miracle and a stepping stone for Huayi Brothers to truly enter the world market.
Of course, the overseas distribution of "Big Names" is still because of different cultural backgrounds, and many Chinese jokes foreigners do not understand and drift into their souls, but this movie is finally a positive attempt by Chinese filmmakers, and Feng Xiaogang has gradually become a first-line director in China.
But...... Luo Mo saw the evaluation of Feng Xiaogang in some materials, that is, this person is talented, has ideas, and can make movies like an assembly line at a very high level...... But this person has a bad place, that is, he is open-mouthed and says everything.
Luo Mo has read an interesting analysis (of course, in the future), which analyzes how celebrities as public figures should master their own art of speaking, and Feng Xiaogang has become a negative teaching material.
Feng Xiaogang was actually not wrong with publicly supporting Shu Qi, and he didn't say anything overdone, just said that Shu Qi was very kind...... As a result, the online violence of netizens is jaw-dropping......
Then Feng Xiaogang began to fire the cannon, and this is where he is not very mature in dealing with the problem.
There is a reason for this incident, but in later life, he publicly scolded the Chinese for calling themselves the grassroots of Dixi, which is completely unreasonable.
Of course, the reason is also easier to guess, some people have a small investment in movies but have brushed up on the miracle of more than one billion Chinese box office, he has been filming hard for a long time, and "Reminiscences of 1942", which has cost countless hardships and obstacles, has failed at the box office, and it is inevitable that he will be unbalanced.
But even with these things, it cannot be denied that Feng Xiaogang is indeed a director who can make good movies...... At least, he was able to make very good genre films.
This time, Feng Xiaogang's filming of "Night Banquet" can also be regarded as a transformation, and he could have continued his Feng comedy, but there is no way, now many film production companies are aiming at foreign countries, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", "Ambush on All Sides" has not faded at all, phenomenal movies like "Night Banquet", plus Zhang Ziyi, who has a foreign distribution worth at least millions of dollars, means that it has to make money when filming.
People are ambitious, just like some street writers write about competition and entertainment, and they want to write fantasy when they write about entertainment.
Then, the results ......
Feng Xiaogang filmed "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" again in 2014, and some street writers continued to write back to the competition...... (Jokes, a certain street writer definitely doesn't dare to compare himself with Director Feng, everyone should not take it seriously).
is such a Feng Xiaogang, he met Luo Mo in a room.
