"See this makeup shot...... The only thing I want to say is: Why is there no movie that will be released this year? ”

A netizen said it casually, but it was instantly approved by everyone.

That's right! With such a handsome armor, the actors who seem to fit the characters very well have already made everyone's blood boil, and they can't help but want to watch this movie anymore.

"Handsome or second...... The key is this attitude of making movies, which is amazing! When I saw their makeup photos, it was really that the most well-researched friends around me couldn't find fault with them...... It seems that after all, it is a movie directed by Luo Mo, and after all, it is what he said about making the same Yue Fei, at least we don't have to worry about problems such as brain damage happening to this film! Some netizens praised it from the bottom of their hearts.

"That's all missing...... You just saw the costumes of the main actors, and in fact, even the appearance of ordinary soldiers is quite elegant. Someone immediately added: "If you don't believe me, just look at the makeup photos of those ordinary soldiers." ”

Indeed, as you can see, many people who have studied armor really can't find fault with it.

The crew of "Yue Fei" specially made more than 2,000 sets of armor for ordinary actors, including Song soldier armor and Jin soldier armor......

These armors are also extremely sophisticated.

In terms of weight, the armor of the Song Dynasty was the heaviest in Chinese history, and the infantry armor of the Northern Song Dynasty was close to the armor weight of the European hoplites.

During the same period, European chain mail weighed only 15 kilograms, and in the 15th century, Gothic full-body armor weighed only 20 kilograms. Although the heaviest armor of the 17th century reached 42 kg, the average heavy three-quarter armor was only in the range of 20-30 kg. HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO THE OFFICIAL REGULATIONS OF THE SONG DYNASTY, THE INFANTRY ARMOR OF THE SONG SOLDIERS CONSISTED OF 1,825 ARMOR LEAVES, WITH A TOTAL WEIGHT OF 29KG, AND THE PROTECTION COULD BE IMPROVED BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF ARMOR LEAVES, BUT THE WEIGHT WOULD INCREASE FURTHER.

Many people were influenced by the textbooks and felt that the Southern Song Dynasty was too peaceful and weak militarily......

In fact, the army of the Song Dynasty at the turn of the two Song Dynasty became stronger and stronger in the War of Resistance against Jin, and it was very powerful, and Yue Fei's army was a heavy infantry with iron armor, spears and crossbows as the main equipment, and the weight of the whole body had reached forty or fifty kilograms......

In order to make realistic armor, the crew really spent a lot of time and money on it, and the Song Bing armor after it was made, although it was only used for filming, had to have more than ten kilograms in one set, and it was still very heavy to wear.

…… For the crew's various costumes, the crew of "Yue Fei" has invested more than 30 million, which is already the final amount of investment in many films, but here it is only the costumes......

You can imagine how much money this film will cost.

Moreover, there are various props, as well as a city scene that has been built......

The stall of "Yue Fei" is spread out too much, which makes people tremble when they see it.

Many Chinese directors who know the truth of the matter are really frightened after seeing these things in "Yue Fei......

They really didn't expect that there really would be such a bold director in China......

Before, they always thought that Luo Mo's filming of "Yue Fei" and said that he would shoot 300 million US dollars was just a rumor, but when they really saw these things, they realized that these were all true.

At the same time, there is also a faint expectation and enthusiasm in everyone's hearts - if he can also direct such a real big production, then he will really die without regrets.

At the same time, they are also looking forward to the final release of the movie, they want to see what kind of performance Luo Mo has spent so much time and money on, and whether it can have an excellent box office glory in Fuwai?

These are still unknowns.

In fact, Luo Mo is also worried about the budget that is constantly overspending......

Luo Ying had already sent the early investment of "Yue Fei" to Luo Mo, and Luo Mo was really numb looking at these numbers.

Now the preliminary preparation, training actors, training horse teams, making costumes, making props, building scenes, pre-publicity, dotting relationships, upfront remuneration, renting equipment, etc., these things alone have already cost more than 200 million yuan!

More than 200 million!

The movie has not yet been skimmed, and it has not been officially announced, and it has already spent more than 200 million ...... 200 million yuan, this is definitely a super big-budget movie in China, but the same more than 200 million, when it comes here, now "Yue Fei" has only made preliminary preparations.

This gap is really numbing......

If you are a director with poor psychological quality, if you feel such a huge gap, you may have cold hands and feet, and if you continue to shoot, you will walk on thin ice, and you will even lose confidence.

But Luo Mo has not lost confidence, and he is not qualified to lose confidence.

The stall has really been rolled out, and there is no turning back from the bow...... All that's left is to push forward desperately.

With such a large crew and so much budget to make a movie, in fact, even Luo Mo will feel a little like walking on thin ice, and he will also be worried, what if this is messed up...... But he had to suppress such emotions, because things were meant to be done by himself.

The fact that he filmed "Superman v Batman" and got such a high box office did give Luo Mo great confidence, if he didn't have that confidence, maybe he would really have to drop the chain at this time.

Now, the plan of "Yue Fei" is completely ready to fly, to the point where it has to be released.

On September 16, the much-anticipated "Yue Fei" officially held a kick-off ceremony in Zhejiang...... Many of the literary dramas at the beginning of the movie will be filmed in Zhejiang now, and after the filming of the literary dramas, they will move to the war, and the filming of the most difficult and painful martial arts dramas will be made...... That will become the memory of Luo Mo's life.

The opening ceremony of this day made the entire Hengdian a sensation......

Of course, "Yue Fei" only held a start-up ceremony here, in fact, not all the literary dramas had to be filmed in it, after all, although Hengdian Film and Television City was very complete, some places still built their own scenes were relatively good. Even the rooms rented by the crew of "Yue Fei" in the early stage to specialize in filming literary dramas have been changed under the guidance of historical consultants.

The crew of "Yue Fei" is facing everyone with such an attitude of excellence, and it is also facing this super blockbuster with an investment of up to 300 million US dollars.

Under such an attitude, it is possible to make really good movies.

The opening ceremony really caused a great response, and six or seven hundred reporters came directly to the scene, and if it were not for the advance arrangement and coordination, thousands of reporters might come today......

More than 600 reporters surrounded the scene, and all kinds of shooting equipment, recording equipment, etc. are now aimed at several main creators who carried out the start-up ceremony, and most of the shots are aimed at Luo Mo...... At this time, Luo Mo kept smiling and didn't say much for the time being.

However, everyone is staring at him......

At today's press conference, in addition to the main creator of the crew of "Yue Fei", there were also some other leaders and the like, and even leaders of a certain bureau came directly, so many people gathered here, and it really became the best prey in the eyes of reporters.

Under the aim of the camera, Luo Mo and some leaders all said some words, these words are empty words, I wish the movie a good time, and then the meaning of the movie and so on......

Luo Mo said more concisely, but it made the reporters breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt very good, indeed, Luo Mo is such a person who is not willing to waste time.

Finally, it was the turn of the reporters to ask questions freely.

"Director Luo, the film "Yue Fei" invested 300 million US dollars, can you tell us what it was spent?" A reporter asked.

"$300 million ......"

Luo Mo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Actually, I found out now that 300 million US dollars may not be enough to make this film...... Because we are only preparing for the early stage now, and we haven't officially started filming yet, Xiao 500 million has already been spent......" As soon as he finished speaking, he ushered in a neat gasping sound.

After gasping, everyone looked at each other - Luo Mo, this guy, is he bragging about not paying taxes?!

Luo Mo said to everyone: "There may be people who don't believe in this...... But it's true, our armor and props are all newly made, and many scenes have to be rebuilt by ourselves...... At the same time, in order to create a realistic effect on the battlefield, we specially paid some actors to keep them in training...... There are several thousand actors and one or two thousand horses...... This is the early investment of "Yue Fei". Everybody can find proof. ”

Since Luo Mo said so, everyone believed it......

In that case, it is really possible to spend 500 million ......

"How much will the final investment be in the film?" The journalists asked.

Luo Mo shook his head and said: "I can't come up with an exact figure for the time being, but according to the current situation, 300 million US dollars is definitely not enough, and it is estimated that the real investment will reach 3." $500 million, or even $400 million......"

Such a huge number really stunned everyone, and a reporter immediately said: "However, the original "Avatar" only invested 500 million US dollars...... The last thing to get is the global box office of nearly $3 billion, but "Yue Fei" is a Chinese costume epic war film...... Do you think you can get the likes of foreigners and get them to contribute enough to the box office to pay for themselves? ”

The reporter regretted it a little as soon as he said this, because he felt that he had said it too sharply.

But Luo Mo didn't care, he shook his head with a slight wry smile very truthfully, and said: "To be honest with everyone, until now, I am not very bottom, but the movie project has been launched, and it can't be stopped!" Of course, I am also confident, and there is a magic weapon to make this film go to the world, and I also hope that everyone can give us more patience and confidence...... We'll keep it up. As for the box office...... Well, "Yue Fei" is divided into two parts, which more or less relieves us of a lot of pressure to recover costs. ”

Luo Mo's candid words made the reporters at the scene have a good impression of him.

However, everyone is shocked to think about such a large amount of money investment in "Yue Fei".
