After the launch conference, Lu Hao refused any interviews and also asked other crew members to refuse any form of interviews.
Focus on doing big things.
All my mind and physical energy are focused on filming the movie.
This drama can be said to be Lu Hao's most attentive film to date.
Schedule.
We didn’t rush the schedule, but worked meticulously, polishing each shot.
Budget.
No budget restrictions.
So far, the initial investment has reached nearly 80 million yuan, but it is still far from enough.
There is no upper limit.
To be frank, money is not a problem at all.
The current box office of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has exceeded 5 billion, and the release period has been extended, so it continues to sell well.
"The Great Knight" has basically been completed and is waiting to be released.
In addition, Chu Wen has also begun preparations for the filming of the adaptation work "July and Ansheng".
I bought Star Cinema's stock before the New Year, and it has now risen by 30%.
With the box office profits of Xihong City's richest man, Lu Hao plans to fully acquire a smaller cinema chain.
Anyway…
There will definitely be no shortage of cash flow for a long time to come.
The capital game is like a monster. As long as there is no well-known debt and liquidity crisis, there will be no problem at all. DreamWorks' debt is currently zero.
Don't worry about money at all.
Concentrate on filming.
…
Lu Hao was losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The weight that I worked so hard to gain during the Chinese New Year is now consumed again with great effort.
The shooting progress is actually not fast, but the work intensity is really high, comparable to the 996 welfare of programmers.
Lying in bed after a busy day, Lu Hao really felt drained. His dreams were all about plots, and he dreamed of the monkey countless times.
When I get up in the morning and take a shower, I start to lose my hair.
This has never happened before.
To be honest, it's a bit scary.
Lu Hao hesitated for a moment, prepared a thermos, and filled it with wolfberry water.
But... the show can't stop.
He now has a vague feeling of being a "drama maniac".
There are too many inspirations when filming, and I often have to shoot several versions of a scene, changing the lines, the shots, the body positions, torturing myself and other actors, trying various shooting and acting methods, and then picking and choosing from a bunch of versions. I may even feel that none of them are good enough, so I start over again.
It repeats itself over and over again.
Repeatedly tossing and turning.
Lu Hao knew very well that this was a "problem".
People like Jia Zhangke, Jiang Wen, Wong Kar-wai, or Stephen Chow all have this "problem".
I didn’t have this kind of “problem” before.
Perhaps, this monkey is really too important.
Or, it may be that I have set higher standards for myself, hoping to make further progress in acting and directing skills.
Then grind it.
Greatness and classics are all achieved through hard work.
…
But then... Lu Hao began to suffer from insomnia.
Lying in bed at night, I couldn't sleep all night long. I just looked at the ceiling and the chandelier. Countless images flashed through my mind, but it was a mess.
I wanted to find someone to chat with, but I didn't know who to find. Chu Wen was also filming, and Xiao Meng had to go to class every day. She always had a regular schedule and would have gone to bed long ago at this time.
So, I can only endure it.
I barely fell asleep until three or four in the morning, and had to get out of bed at eight in the morning to continue filming.
I felt confused the whole day.
It has become a vicious cycle.
Lu Hao also realized that this situation was not right and quickly began to adjust himself.
The secret to adjustment is running.
This is the way my heart instinctively chooses.
In his previous life, when he was under the greatest pressure and wanted to give up countless times, he always ran.
Run ten kilometers and experience the "joy of breathing hard", and you will feel that all difficulties are not difficulties. As long as you still have a breath, just do it.
The dopamine secreted by exercise can also make people feel euphoric, and they return to the hotel tired and fall asleep peacefully.
——"Movies are the antidote to life, and running is another antidote. Day one."
Lu Hao posted a Weibo.
Start checking in for running on Weibo.
— “I didn’t feel like running today, so I ran the next day.”
——"If you don't give it your all, you're wasting your life, day three."
…
Since he started running, Lu Hao has indeed found that his condition has improved a lot. After running at night, he goes back to take a shower and sleeps until dawn. The next day, he is full of energy and vigor.
Goji berry water?
Pooh!
No need.
The changes in his Weibo also surprised and amazed many fans.
what happened?
Aren't you a movie producer?
Why does the painting style look like an athlete?
And check in every day.
Many people commented and followed suit.
"I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be a running enthusiast, too. Come on, come on!"
…
"It seems like Mr. Lu has encountered some difficulties. He keeps encouraging himself every day. Is the filming of the new movie stuck? Mr. Lu, you have to believe in your talent."
…
"That's normal. Whether you're making a movie, writing a novel, or writing a song, getting stuck is common. To find inspiration, these people will do anything. Running is good, but like that talented fat guy in the music industry next door...tsk...doing drugs...and that so-and-so, addicted to sex..."
…
"Praise Mr. Lu online, a positive and energetic director. I've decided to go running too. Today is the first day."
