Chapter 331: Venice Film Festival. Director Luo Mo, the movie "The Hangover" has brought you a lot of honors and created a super high box office...... Especially now that "The Hangover" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have taken the top two box office rankings of foreign language films in North America, what does such an honor mean to you personally? ”

Not too many people are concerned about this question, because these are more official questions, and there will be more official answers.

However, after Luo Mo heard this question, he did not take it seriously, but showed a smile with a bit of playfulness, and even, in his eyes, if anyone noticed, he would feel a trace of sharpness flashing! Seeing this scene, everyone suddenly remembered that the person in front of them ...... It's not the kind of person who thanks this and that all day long, decent, and never offends anyone.

The one in front of him has let go of a lot of mouth cannons! Although most of the mouth cannons came true later, when he said those words, everyone still attributed what he said to the mouth cannons because of the unbelievable extent of those words! Therefore, it is also doubtful today, will he continue to release any mouth cannons? Anyway, the big guys are looking forward to it.

Luo Mo did not live up to everyone's hopeful eyes, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "This honor is very important to me!" I'm honored to be able to make my own film accomplish such a thing. Still, I would say that we still have to look ahead and see more! In front of me, in front of Chinese movies, there are countless challenges waiting for us to challenge. So, although "The Hangover" has a high level of glory, I believe that such glory will not stop there......"

"Right now, "The Hangover" is the No. 2 grossing foreign language film in North America! And "Inception", which I am currently shooting, my goal is to be the No. 1 foreign language film at the box office in North America! surpasses the current "The Hangover" and even "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". That's my goal, and that's what I'm working for and striving for for my new film! ”

Luo Mo said this with a smile.

He is not afraid of being called arrogant, and he is always a cautious person in the entertainment industry, and their reason comes from the chains tied to his body, and the chains make them dare not talk nonsense. But Luo Mo is different, his movies are independently produced, there is no need to ask for help, and he now has fame and the guarantee of box office hits, so the movies he makes are not worried about having no place to distribute...... Even he himself can set up the distribution department of Luo Mo's studio, but with the help of Huayi, the distribution channels are wider, and Huayi's distribution ability is really not covered...... Feng Xiaogang's popular movie, which one can lack Hua Yi's shadow behind it?

Since there is no need to ask for help, Luo Mo doesn't have to have too many scruples when he speaks. He said that the box office hope of "Inception" is actually a kind of hype, and many people will also pay attention to it, this movie that Luo Mo actually pinned so much hope on, will the North American box office be the same as he thought at that time.

However, predicting is one thing, and disrespecting people is another. So, Luo Mo added: "I like director Ang Lee very much, and I also like his movies very much...... It's just that "Inception" is the movie I have pinned on everyone, and I still hope that its box office can surpass "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and reach a new record, "Hangover" is also a thing of the past, and my "Inception" is in the present and future tense! ”

"! Sure enough, there is a fierce news! The people below were all trembling with excitement, and sure enough, Luo Mo was a person who couldn't be idle, and his mouth was the same kind of person as the small steel cannon he had cooperated with before. However, Luo Mo just likes to put his mouth out, but he doesn't spray people much, he sprayed domestic blockbusters before, but what people say is also very reasonable.

And now, as soon as Luo Mo's words came out, they immediately attracted the excitement of everyone at the scene.

Immediately, a college student who couldn't help but stand up asked: "Director Luo, I like your movies very much, and I am also surprised by the box office records that your movies have set, and I like them too." However, I beg your pardon for being presumptuous, I still want to know where your confidence comes from. The North American box office of "The Hangover" has greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, and is even considered a myth by some, wanting to be more than a myth, what gives you so much confidence? ”

This question is very sharp, in fact, it is what many people want to say, and it can be summed up in this point - why is your grandson so confident? Aren't you afraid of the wind flashing your tongue?

Luo Mo smiled slightly, indeed, the question was very sharp...... However, for a director who deliberately hyped up the new movie, he not only did not resent such a question, but also welcomed it.

"This question...... I can answer with what you just said. Many people say that the North American box office of "The Hangover" is a complete miracle, it's incredible, it's very simple, I have created such a miracle before, then, I have the confidence to create such a miracle in the new movie, but this miracle is even bigger! Before the release of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", no one thought that the box office of this movie could exceed 100 million, and before the release of "The Hangover", no one thought that this movie would get a high box office overseas! So, that's where my confidence comes from, and I've put a lot of effort into Inception, and I've put so much thought into it, and I'm confident that I'm going to surpass the miracles that The Hangover and 33 Days of Broken Love have done......"

When Luo Mo said this, he was actually a little excited in his heart, but this is also a normal situation, there is no way, young man! When he said what was on his mind, the excitement would follow.

Some of you are also thrilled to hear it! If another person said such things, everyone would only think that he was arrogant and that he didn't know the height of the sky, but when this sentence came out of Luo Mo's mouth, it always made people feel very convincing...... Indeed, his two films have created one legend after another, which is shocking in Chinese films. So, he said he was going to create a new miracle, so what's impossible?

He is a legend who has never appeared in the history of Chinese films, and he is also an absolute leader among young people.

So, the sound of applause also rang out.

Luo Mo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that because he has the foundation of those movies in the past, he can also get a lot of tolerance from everyone when he says something that others will think is very unreliable.

At this time, someone stood up again and asked, "Director Luo, your hand was injured during filming before, is it better now?" Why do you get hurt? ”

Because Luo Mo was injured because there was communication in advance, the media was somewhat evasive, and they didn't say much.

When Luo Mo himself heard this, he sighed in his heart - there is finally someone who really cares about me......

At that moment, Luo Mo paused slightly, and then said with a smile: "My arm has returned to its original state now, there is nothing wrong, Xie Lu Xie cares...... I was injured after falling from a car during a fight, and I was diagnosed with a slight bone crack at the time, and now a week has passed, and I have basically fully recovered. ”

Everyone applauded again.

Today's meeting, sure enough, became Luo Mo's publicity meeting for "Inception", because after the meeting, what impressed everyone the most was basically Luo Mo's expectations and ambitions for "Inception", and his high expectations for this movie exceeded everyone's imagination. It's just that he has such high expectations for this movie, can it come true in the end?

No one knows what to do.

However, everyone is divided into many factions, and some people support Luo Mo very much, while some people think that he is very arrogant, and the box office of the new movie will hit the streets, but no matter what, in short, Luo Mo's discussion has set off another wave of climax, and there are more and more discussions about his "Inception".

At the same time, there are many places where such titles are used -

"Luo Mo proudly said that "Inception" will surpass the box office achievements of "The Hangover" and reach a new high."

"Inception is in full swing? Where does Luo Mo's self-confidence come from? ”

"Luo Mo opened his mouth again and suspected hype, the latest developments of the crew of "Inception" ......"

…… In the midst of all kinds of discussions and reports, Luo Mo was busy with "Inception".

The filming in the Vientiane Ring has finally been completed, and I have to say that this Vientiane Ring is one of the shots with the most NG times and the highest difficulty in shooting Luo Mo's movies so far. In this paragraph, at least three million funds were consumed, which is still not counting the post-production costs, if the post-production price is included, the cost is equivalent to a domestic small-to-medium-cost movie. However, Luo Mo was still very satisfied with the effect of shooting these shots.

When the time comes to put it into the lens of a 3D movie, it will definitely be terrifying! It feels unexpectedly good.

After filming the Vientiane Ring, everyone immediately moved to the next studio. In this studio, the first thing that sets up the Penrose Ladder is the Penrose Ladder.

The Penrose Staircase will appear in the scene where the protagonist of Inception and the Dream Builder first visit the Dream Space.

Penrose Stairs is a famous mathematical paradox, on a staircase, people have been walking up the stairs, but the result is still walking in a circle in a plane, Luo Mo is not in the mood to pay attention to mathematics, but in order to design such a paradox, something that does not actually exist, he still used his brains and discussed it with many people in the props team...... The final solution is to create a staircase, go up, and then come back, but when it is time to start the second circle, the front of the staircase is cut off, and by looking at the camera from above, plus a little post-production, it can cause visual deception and make people think that this is actually connected to the stairs below.

Then, when Luo Mo and Zhang Mengya walked to the end of the stairs above, a shot was finished, and then they went to the stairs below to walk again, and in the above shots, it seemed that they were walking an infinite loop of stairs. There are a lot of incredible special effects in "Inception", which makes the people of Weta Digital and the guys who direct the 3D real shooting feel a little headache, but they didn't expect that this young Chinese director can always use more unbelievable and whimsical methods to complete the shooting, and most of the filming has been completed so far.

The Penrose Staircase came to an end, and the next thing was the fierce battle in the snowy mountains, and the shooting scene of the fierce battle in the snowy mountains was in the studio...... In order to simulate the effect of the snow-capped mountains, it was necessary to go to the snow-capped mountains to shoot on the spot and then compose them with the things filmed in the studio. But before that, Luo Mo asked Shen Dan to take everyone to shoot other shots first, because it is almost October now, and there is a film festival waiting for Luo Mo to participate, that is, the Venice International Film Festival in Italy.

Luo Mo took "The Hangover" to get a familiar face, and this movie actually barely entered the competition unit of films that are not very similar to other film festivals in Venice...... And there is still an element of the financial crisis in it.

However, just mix up the familiar face...... His main goal was to sell the European rights to The Hangover for a high price.
