Chapter 419 The first appearance after the announcement of the relationship
Luo Mo actually knew very well why Guan Fei was worried about "The Return of the Great Sage" being released during the Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival is the most competitive period, and the box office record of animation movies is there. Judging from the data of previous years, during the Chinese New Year period, the box office of animation movies may not be one-tenth of that of other popular movies.
Then, the film schedule will be severely squeezed, and it would be more cost-effective to release it on another schedule.
At the same time, major theaters also prefer animation movies for children. The box office base of such movies is relatively stable, and they are guaranteed to make money, but they just can't make too much.
Luo Mo Studio and Tongguang Studio have always produced animation works that are "appropriate for all ages". Their works are not just for children.
In the film industry, throughout history, almost everyone in this type of animation film died!
This is just like many years ago on earth, everyone was bleeding and all their underwear was lost.
In Guan Fei's view, let alone whether it is appropriate to release it during the Spring Festival, it is difficult for you to compete for the qualifications to be released!
It's not your turn to pick it, it's probably your turn.
And another important point is that Luo Mo has not proven his box office appeal.
Why are film directors at the top of the contempt chain in the industry?
Why do many film directors feel pretentious and superior to other directors?
In fact, many major movie directors have publicly stated that the reason is that it costs a lot of money to go to the theater to watch movies.
This means that your influence is directly equivalent to real money.
After all, in the early years, everyone watched TV series on TV for free.
The film and television dramas directed by Luo Mo are indeed very popular.
But he has never been in the film industry...
Men, you have to go in and operate it yourself to prove your ability and level.
Otherwise it is all empty talk.
Over the years, many great film and television drama directors have made investors want to kill them after diving into the film industry.
Guan Fei is now on the list of "This guy deserves to be killed".
Of course, in Guan Fei's view, the biggest problem still lies in the subject matter.
If this was a movie directed and acted by Luo Mo, and he himself would be the leading actor, with his incredible traffic and reputation, theaters might still consider it.
Anime...forget it.
Luo Mo felt that he could give it a try.
"For a movie, the hype and publicity before its release is very important."
"When the popularity is high, there will be room to choose the schedule, and the number of films scheduled can be higher."
"But the hype and promotion of big animated movies can be said to be even more difficult than that of real people."
"But it doesn't bother me."
In Luo Mo's view, hyping up animation movies does not necessarily have to start from the animation itself, but can also use other methods.
For example - a song?
………
………
There is still some time before the Spring Festival.
The production of "The Return of the Great Sage" is still in the final stages.
Therefore, this matter is not urgent for the time being.
In the afternoon, Luo Mo and Guan Fei went to interview several actors, and Ding Xiaoyu was always taken by Luo Mo.
After several actors tried it out, Luo Mo was not very satisfied.
In the drama "The Beginning", the bus driver actually doesn't have many moments where his acting skills explode. But the role of "Pot Aunt" is a test of his acting skills.
The few middle-aged actresses just now are actually capable.
But in terms of image and temperament, they are still a bit inferior.
Because according to the character design, Guo Auntie should be positioned as a person with temperament... Crazy criticism!
After all, before playing with explosions, she worked as a teacher, and at the same time, she was also a mother who loved her children extremely.
Therefore, her image and temperament should be gentle, gentle, and intellectual.
In this way, when you show off your acting skills, the strong contrast will make people feel more permeable.
Just a smile can make people feel scared and feel her madness!
"Isn't that Chen Sui just now pretty good?" Guan Fei said.
Luo Mo shook his head and said: "The explosive power is almost meaningless."
In this drama, Guo Auntie has several explosive moments. That kind of madness still requires actors to have strong instantaneous explosive power.
This is a ruthless person who blows up the bus over a disagreement, and he blows up both himself and her husband too!
Throughout the entire audition and discussion process, Ding Xiaoyu remained silent and watched obediently from the side.
At this time, seeing how troubled her master was, she put down the colorful pen she was using to underline the script and gently pulled down the sleeve of Luo Mo's shirt at the elbow.
"What's wrong, Xiao Yu?" Luo Mo asked.
"Um...Master, I have a teacher I know who is quite suitable for this role. She is a teacher at the Drama School herself," Ding Xiaoyu said.
In drama schools, some teachers do not act, but some teachers are also actors themselves.
When Luo Mo heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Yeah, I almost forgot that you are a small actor. You have worked with so many actors that I can't even count them."
"I should have asked for your opinion a long time ago." Luo Mo said cheerfully.
Seeing Luo Mo's reaction, Ding Xiaoyu clenched his hands slightly on his thighs, couldn't help but lift his toes slightly, and then quietly lowered them.
"Then let me... get in touch?" she said.
"Okay." Luo Mo agreed immediately.
Ding Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, took out his mobile phone from his small bag, and trotted out to make a call.
She was halfway through running when she was stopped by Luo Mo.
"Xiao Yu, please tell us this person's name first." He said with a smile.
"Oh, it's Teacher Yu Lijuan." Ding Xiaoyu stopped, turned around, and followed with a flick of his horse's tail, full of youth.
"Yu Lijuan? Her image and temperament are indeed suitable." Guan Fei patted his thigh.
"Okay, let's get in touch." Luo Mo said.
Guan Fei looked at the girl's back as she pushed out the door and said, "Luo Mo, your little apprentice is so easy to deal with. She doesn't even need any reward. Just praise her and she will be happy to the sky."
"Right." Luo Mo responded, and then said: "Don't be like a little apprentice, he is not young anymore, he will be an adult in a few days."
Time flies so fast. When Luo Mo and Ding Xiaoyu first met, she was only sixteen years old, and now she is about to have her coming-of-age ceremony.
After a while, the door opened, and Ding Xiaoyu did not come in. Instead, he stuck his head in the crack of the door and said, "Teacher Yu said that we can meet him on the weekend."
"Okay." Luo Mo had no objection.
After finishing his work, Guan Fei still had preparation work to do.
Luo Mo and Ding Xiaoyu were eating takeout in the office together.
Her mother Chen Ru doesn't allow her to eat some "junk food", but... who doesn't love "junk food"?
Just eat less.
Luo Mo opened the fried chicken box for her and said, "Xiao Yu, haven't you made a movie for a while?"
Hearing this, Ding Xiaoyu said: "After filming "Cat Monster", I made guest appearances in two movies, and then I haven't acted in a movie since."
Luo Mo nodded, handed her the disposable gloves, and then said: "After filming "The Beginning", I plan to temporarily prevent you from contacting the film and television dramas in the studio."
"Okay." Ding Xiaoyu nodded and agreed.
"I haven't even said anything about your follow-up resource arrangements, so you're okay?" Luo Mo said angrily: "When I sell you, you will definitely count the money with a smile, and you might still think that I am
It’s sold too cheaply.”
"You can't be that stupid!" Ding Xiaoyu felt that what Master said was too exaggerated and protested softly.
Because she would not allow Master to sell her, she wanted to follow Luo Mo all the time.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly." Luo Mo urged and said casually: "I will give you several movie books when the time comes. You can pick the one you like best."
"How many?" Ding Xiaoyu looked up with surprise on his face.
Luo Mo nodded and said: "Actually, I just give you a few different choices."
"Some may be more blockbuster and have better box office results. Some may be more suitable for winning awards. Didn't Master say that I will make you a [Best Actress] Dangdang." Luo Mo added with a smile.
