Chapter 546: It's Going to Be Idle......
Luo Mo's script for "Yue Fei" has not been fully polished, but the filming permit has been taken down.
Moreover, after communicating with the military, they are also willing to help, the crew cannot let them do it in vain, and their participation in the filming of this film can also let everyone know about the existence of such a company.
Although the horse teams that are specifically responsible for film and television production are much more professional, Luo Mo feels that these horse teams do not have some things from the cavalry company.
Those who have watched "Bright Sword" should not forget the tragic scene - almost all the cavalry companies were killed by the Japanese army, and only the company commander with a broken arm was left holding his saber high and shouting: "The cavalry company is attacking......
What Luo Mo needs is a formation, the kind of real iron-blooded advance and retreat, showing the courage of the golden soldiers.
There was a TV series "New Three Kingdoms" before, which was known as a grand war scene and a magnificent masterpiece, but in fact, one scene showed their ignorance vividly - in the scene where Zhao Yun rode the Savior alone, Cao Jun had already lined up his troops, and surrounded Zhao Yun like Tietong?!
Even if "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a historical romance novel, people try their best to describe the scene of Zhao Zilong riding the savior alone - because the two armies faced each other, Liu Bei's army was scattered, and Cao Cao's army pursued Liu Bei's army was also scattered, so Zhao Zilong encountered a group or several stragglers, plus Cao Cao did not let people kill him, so there was the possibility of escaping.
If he encounters the army with a strict array in the TV series, then give him three heads and six arms, and he will not be able to escape.
But after all, it is a mainland TV series, mainly filmed for housewives and children, and cannot be compared with American dramas.
In the American drama "Spartacus", although those schemes are naΓ―ve and unreasonable, and the two armies also fight as hooligans after rushing and killing, when needed, the unique formation of the Roman army they discharged is quite good-looking and has a grand momentum.
What Luo Mo wanted to shoot "Yue Fei" was grand, and it had to be reasonable, to restore history, there could be no overly obvious logical loopholes, and it had to conform to the real situation at the time. In this way, the people and horses who play the cavalry of the Jin Army have to go through specific training, and it is better to say that the training of horses is a big project.
Luo Mo found the company commander of this cavalry company, and they had no objection to the task arranged by their superiors, and they also received Luo Mo, the great director, warmly.
It took more than a week for Luo Mo to arrange these things after negotiating things and arranging for some cooperative horse teams to train under the guidance of historical advisors and other professionals.
After the matter was done, Luo Mo's heart was very tired, and at the same time he was a little helpless.
Such a film, since it has been decided to make an epic blockbuster, to show everything reasonably and in line with history, it requires too much energy and financial investment. The cost of training these horse teams alone is as high as tens of millions...... big investment in "Yue Fei" has been unveiled.
As some shares of Qianmo Entertainment Company are gradually held by outsiders, Luo Mo's desire to shoot a large-scale investment film is no longer the same as before, and the left hand is handed over to the right hand as before, but needs to be discussed with more people, although everyone has confidence in him, but the investment plan of the film "Yue Fei" is too big, and it still took some effort to slowly get everyone to agree.
Thinking of this, Luo Mo was very helpless, but if there was no share distribution, his company would have to be crushed by hungry wolves.
Qianmo Entertainment Company is now developing bigger and bigger, but the ingredients are becoming more and more complex, and many times it will face more complex situations. It will no longer be as unrestrained as when Luo Mo just had a studio.
But even so, now the company is still in accordance with Luo Mo's will in major matters, such as the shooting plan of "Yue Fei", so far, after some rough calculations, the professional team has already calculated, plus the calculation that they have made so many movies, the investment in this film, just to say that the investment when it is actually filmed, will reach more than 500 million yuan, counting post-production and special effects, as well as publicity costs, the real investment will reach 200 million US dollars!
Such a terrifying investment has certainly caused some people to worry, and Qianmo Film Company also has some other shareholders, who are a little dissatisfied. Although Luo Mo can be arbitrary, he also needs to listen to their opinions, and after explaining and ensuring that he can return to his roots, these people will not make trouble.
Because this incident made Luo Mo think about more things, he even wanted to make Luo Mo Film Studio independent, directly invest in the movie himself, and then hand it over to Qianmo Entertainment to distribute...... But when he thought about it carefully, in that case he would return to the old way, without himself, it would be difficult for Qianmo Film Company to support it.
In short, many things now involve the whole body, and Luo Mo is rarely able to rule out all things and only make movies.
Gradually learning to coordinate these things is also the process of Luo Mo's growth.
Luo Mo stood next to the window of his apartment in the capital, it was the height of summer outside, and the current capital temporarily left the influence of the haze, and the heat gradually enveloped the city. Luo Mo looked at the historical materials at hand, and suddenly felt that he was inexplicably idle.
Yes, "Superman v Batman" only has post-production left, and he went to the United States for a month to supervise the post-production.
He didn't have any other films......
On the USC side, his practical work is "Superman v Batman", and now when he goes back to school, he is just boring himself.
There is still a long time before the official filming of "Yue Fei" begins, although polishing the script is a job that requires a lot of patience, but this job cannot be rooted in it 24 hours a day.
So, Luo Mo, who had been very busy, didn't touch the ground with his feet and didn't have any time at all, suddenly found that he was idle, and he actually felt a little unsure of what he was going to do.
Why don't you want to do a PhD? Luo Mo immediately vetoed his idea, read the yarn...... Now that he has sufficient theoretical knowledge, he does not need to continue to go back to academic work for the time being.
So what can it do?
Luo Mo thought, or give yourself a vacation, go home, or do anything. It's just that Luo Mo had been at home for a month before, and now he is going home...... Forget it, wait a few days......
Luo Mo first went to Henan to watch the horse team train.
In fact, the quality of these horse teams is quite good, after all, they rely on this to eat, and if the quality is poor, it will naturally not work. And they not only have to be skilled in bow horses, but also have to adapt to film and television shooting. And now, under the training of professionals, the people of the horse team have become more disciplined, and at the same time there is a faint murderous atmosphere.
After Luo Mo arrived, Pan Ming, the leader of the horse team, immediately ran over, and then said, "Director Luo, are you here?" β
"Hmm." Luo Mo looked at the training ground, and then asked, "How do you feel?" β
"Of course it's good." Pan Ming straightened his chest: "The quality of the brothers is still very high, and the enthusiasm is also very high. β
Luo Mo nodded, seeing that these people did look a little good, he said, "If you really start filming at that time, will it be okay according to my requirements?" β
Pan Ming was a little helpless at this moment: "Well, there must be a step-by-step process!" Luo Mo snorted, and then said, "Later, the actor in charge of playing the soldier will also come to the training ground with you...... In that case, giving you a year should be enough. β
"One year is definitely enough, and it will definitely not delay your business." Pan Ming said with a smile.
Later, the actors who played Song Bing would also come here, and with the guidance of the historical advisors and many professionals, as well as the coordination of their leaders, they began to receive some training, and after a few months of training, they began to start filming in earnest.
After almost a year of training, I think these people, even if they don't know anything at the beginning, should be able to train that feeling.
Luo Mo stayed here for two days and watched their training all the time......
They train for a few hours a day, but they can't do it in a year, so they do some circus from other crews as well.
Luo Mo's plan is to shoot war scenes before the script is really completed, although they can be combined, but I always feel that it will lack sufficient purpose and planning, after all, Luo Mo's requirement for himself is that special effects serve the plot, and the ancient war scenes are not purely for good performance, but to serve the era, and the guidance of the script is needed.
Seeing that the horse team is training very hard and becoming more and more proficient, there is already the feeling of ancient cavalry, although it is impossible to be as fierce as them, but when the time comes, it should be seamless with the lens language.
After coming back from Henan, Luo Mo was a little bored for the time being, so he read books every day to live, although he also had all kinds of invitations, but it was impossible to agree to everything, and there were not too many promises, so Luo Mo was still a little bored.
On this day, Luo Mo sat in his room and watched "The Three-Body Problem".
This is the second time he has read the novel.
He is now watching "Three-Body Problem 2: Dark Forest", and Qianmo Entertainment Company bought the film and television adaptation copyright of "Three-Body Problem" when it was Luo Mo's studio, but it has not been filmed until now, and there is no shooting plan. Because if this movie is made, it will be difficult to find a selling point in the first part of "The Three-Body Problem", and there is a description of that period in China in it, and it will not pass the review even if it is killed.
The story of "Dark Forest" has some headlines, but it still lacks enough big scenes, and the most lucrative here relies on the laws of the dark forest that the protagonist Luo Ji understands to save the earth, rather than the two sides of the spaceship really shooting, the only time that the hand-to-hand combat, the teardrop-shaped flying machine destroyed the human fleet......
So, again, it lacks enough selling points.
This makes Luo Mo very regretful, "The Three-Body Problem" is too good as a science fiction novel, it can almost be said that Liu Cixin single-handedly used "The Three-Body Problem" to raise Chinese science fiction to the level of the world, but it lacks enough movie elements, which is a pity.
Luo Mo is looking at this set of books now, just to find out if he can try to make this film as possible through some methods such as adapting the plot.
Thinking about it this way, if "Three-Body Problem: Dark Forest" takes another shortcut, it may be able to be made into a science fiction movie with a pure plot and no big scenes.
Luo Mo gradually fell into deep thought.
