Halo of cheating in the entertainment industry

This matter has been troubled for a long time. Su Li's initial plan was to find a Chinese actor with relatively good acting skills to play the role, while he would play a crucial supporting role.

After that, he wanted to find the star of the original movie "Inception" to perform, but he was frightened by the high salary and felt that it was unnecessary to spend so much money on it.

Now, he himself is more and more inclined to be the leading actor in the play.

First of all, only I have watched "Inception", and only I know how the male protagonist in it acted, and he can play the male protagonist well. As for the age issue - in fact, this is not a problem, you must know "Source Code"

》, through special makeup techniques, it was possible to make Su Li look more than ten years older.

This is not an easy task for Su Li and the crew. He has to wear a lot of makeup effects every time he shoots, which is a bit annoying. He also spends a lot of time on it every day during filming.

Su Li is a little entangled on this issue, but it is not yet to the point where he has to decide on the leading role. He still has a few months. He has only roughly determined a few supporting roles: he wants Yang Mi to play the dream master,

In fact, the dream builder even has more roles than the heroine in the movie. This can be regarded as some selfishness of his own.

His own role as the protagonist has its own benefits for the movie, and it is even more beneficial for himself. He knows that "Inception" will eventually go to the entire world. If he plays the leading role, his influence may be even greater.

to expand to the world

The other supporting characters must also be carefully selected. The heroine has not been decided yet (well, I don’t know who should be good myself. Let’s think about it and then say it in the book review area.), whether it is the heroine or other supporting characters.

, all need to have certain acting skills, preferably handsome men and beautiful women, but the acting skills cannot be bad, after all, this is a movie that is going to the world...

The tycoon's son is planning to find Daniel Wu. This man's acting skills have gradually improved after training in the past two years. It is not difficult to master such a role.

There were a few other actors who were a bit confused. He had been thinking about it for some time but was still not completely sure about it. He had considered actors such as Jaycee Chan, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and Wen Zhang, but he had not yet made a final decision.

When it came to controlling the plot of "Inception", Su Li did not dare to make any changes on his own. After all, the original script was already perfect. Once he went out, he would easily add some superfluous information and even ruin the entire movie.

He was mainly thinking about some actors' lines, and he wanted to use easy-to-understand lines to express the deconstruction and context of the movie.

The original version of "Inception" was a brainstorming exercise, with a suspenseful plot, a vast and complex worldview, and some settings that were even more unbelievable than fantasy novels. The structure of the movie caused a stir after the release of "Inception"

After extensive discussions, he wanted to make the lines more understandable and at the same time make the translation work easier - again, "Inception" is a movie that wants to go global.

In the processing of lines, Su Li also needs to add a few things, which are some Chinese allusions. The most important one is naturally "Zhuang Zhou Mengdie". Zhuang Zhou Mengdie is similar to "Inception" to a certain extent.

After "Inception" was released, many movie fans originally had a mature and indestructible world view. They also felt that "Inception" was enough for entertainment. The world view was completely absurd... However, every time I think of the ending,

While the spinning top of suspense is spinning without stopping, many people still can’t help but feel chills standing on end - is the world we live in real?

Even if science and technology have developed enough to send people to the moon, and even if the world we live in every day is visible and tangible...but it is really possible that we are living in a dream, someone else's dream...if it diverges

If we think about it, the world we live in may really be just a false world, and everything we can see is deception. This is even more terrifying than the projection world mentioned by Plato...

This question does have something in common with Zhuangzi - how can you be sure that it is Zhuangzhou who dreamed of butterflies and not Zhuangzhou who dreamed of butterflies?

Therefore, Su Li also added some unflattering things about Zhuangzi in it. On the one hand, this can make the Chinese audience feel more comfortable, and on the other hand, it can also make foreigners interested in Zhuangzi - which can be regarded as a reason.

We have made some contribution to the promotion of ancient Chinese culture, not to mention that this kind of spiritual commonality is indeed mysterious.

Su Li kept the modifications to the plot to a minimum. He never thought that he would be better than a Hollywood screenwriting team, or better than the original "Inception". His modifications would probably only make the movie superfluous or even turn it into a bad movie.

What he slightly modified was just a little setting and a little bit of the plot - a large part of the reason for these changes was actually to save money...

The original version of "Inception" cost too much money. Those twisted and confusing worlds, the collapsed time and space, and the mysterious worlds required too much investment. What's more, there are also the fierce scenes.

Gunfights and hand-to-hand combat...Su Li slightly adapted most of the original movies

The parts that were just for special effects were removed. At the same time, several gunfight scenes with rain of gunfire were turned into fist bumps that the Chinese are very good at. This can ensure commerciality and save money. Several street chases

The scale should be slightly reduced, and the explosion scenes should be slightly reduced.

It can be said that Zurich is budget-conscious in these places and does not want to waste any money.

After these adjustments, "Inception" can be acquired within an investment of about 300 to 400 million yuan.

Actors, props, and venues are cheaper. The special effects may be better, but the cost is far less expensive... Fenying Special Effects Studio is a local special effects team in China and a special effects studio under Liguang Entertainment Company, so in "

The cost of "Inception" is much cheaper.

Taking several factors together, the cost of "Inception" will be reduced a lot, and it shouldn't be difficult to get it for about 300 to 400 million yuan.

Su Li also began to travel here and there for the film, investigating suitable locations.

After much deliberation, I chose Zuli as the city in Inception and finally chose Kunming.

After all, Zuli came from Yunnan and is very familiar with this city. Kunming is not too big among the provincial capitals across the country. It is much simpler to rent out venues, which is also very important for Kunming to promote itself.

, Therefore, the Kunming Municipal Government quickly gave Zuli and others a satisfactory answer, and at the same time, the police were also used to block the road.

Zuli did not choose these things because of his hometown, but entirely for the sake of the movie.

There are also some scenes that will be shot in Shanghai, and these are all carefully considered.

The original "Inception" was filmed not only in the United States, but also in other countries and regions. They will also switch to some urban styles in Zurich, and may even go to Los Angeles to shoot some exterior scenes...

The protagonist's background setting in Zurich has changed a lot - their clients are still Japanese tycoons, but the protagonist's background is Chinese.

The protagonist was suspected because of the death of his wife and wandered around the world. Then he met this tycoon and launched a new plan...

Thinking of these filming, Su Li also had a headache. There is no doubt that this is his biggest move since entering the film industry. The luxury and grandeur of this film can be regarded as the first in the history of domestic films...

Su Li, who has to take on such a task, is not yet 22 years old...

If "Inception" can be as successful as the original version, it will definitely be a shot in the arm for movies made in China. After all, the total box office of the original "Inception" is 8.1 billion...US dollars, which is 60 when converted into RMB.

100 million……….

The world will really pay attention to Chinese movies because of this. In the future, Su Li wants to make Xianxia movies with Chinese characteristics and draw a line between so-called magic movies. Only then will they have the basis to be accepted and recognized by the world.

In fact, "Source Code" laid some foundation for "Inception", and "Inception" will lay the real foundation for Zurich's globalization strategy.

Let's take the time back to May 20, when "Source Code" was officially released in the North American Film Market.

Liguang Entertainment Company has contractual restrictions with foreign theater operators, and Liguang Entertainment Company also invests in publicity in the United States.

However, most of the publicity investment fell on Liguang Entertainment. After all, the theater operators' evaluation of the movie was just indifferent, and they did not want to spend much thought on it. Although "Source Code"

The Asian box office was amazing, but they couldn't believe that "Source Code" was also shocking at the US box office.

Therefore, they finally chose an attitude to make this movie with a little promotion but not too much effort.

When "Source Code" was released, not many Americans knew about the movie. What they knew about "Source Code" was very little, and many of them only stayed at the glimpse of the poster.

The movie doesn't pay much attention to it.

In their eyes, as long as there are no familiar faces like Zhang Yimou, Ang Lee, or John Woo in Chinese movies, they will probably turn a blind eye... Su Li... Who is this? They have never heard of it.

The actors and directors are all people with the same name... As for this movie's high box office in Asia... what does that have to do with them? They are at the center of world film culture, so why do they need to pay attention to Asia?

Therefore, the box office premiere of "Source Code" in the United States was a bit deserted. There were only a few people sitting in the sparse theater, and the attendance rate was less than 15.

"Damn, we really lost money." Most of the theater operators who had negotiated with Su Li and the others are now complaining.

Until later, an arrow stuck into someone's knee...

The cast of "Inception"... I hope you can give me some advice. I have thought of many people for the heroine and supporting actor. For the heroine, I have thought of Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, Lin Chiling and many others, but I feel that she has the acting skills.

Everyone will be disgusted, because the acting skills are too unsuitable, and it’s confusing...

By the way, everyone’s comments this week were very enthusiastic and the essence has been used up. Thank you for your support. Seeing this, I feel very motivated when I write. The weekly votes are almost over 1,500. I am also smiling and adding

The rewards are great. Although the subscription is still not good, it is slowly growing...Thank you.

Thank you very much. Now I feel more and more comfortable writing "Halo of Cheats in the Entertainment Circle". There are many things that I don't want to say.

The box office performance of "Source Code" in North America will naturally turn around, so don't worry.
