Chapter 200: Betting

The Hollywood commercial blockbuster Inception is located on location in Tokyo, Japan, and some of the main scenes are not too difficult to find. [∞ eight [∞ eight] [∞ read [∞ book,.. o@ just one scene in the movie that needs to be viewed from the sidelines, and when you shoot some movie scenes outside a few hundred meters tall skyscraper in Tokyo, you need to use a helicopter to rise into the air to shoot it.

However, the Tokyo government is not too willing to give the green light to the crew of "Inception", they are filming in the city of Tokyo, and they do not buy the earnest request of Hollywood director Christopher Nolan.

Basically, such a bad situation is indeed a new difficulty and sudden obstacle in the work for the entire crew of "Inception".

Therefore, when Li Xuan arrived in Tokyo at about this time, it was obvious that he could not participate in more specific film shooting work in the first place.

The official process of filming has been suspended, and Nolan is personally leading people to communicate with some officials of the Tokyo government to apply for the ban to be lifted.

So, in such a background, Li Xuan had the opportunity to get acquainted with the Hollywood actors who joined the group first, and he could also have formal contact and exchange with other guys besides Leonardo.

Of course, according to the private way and personality of this group of Hollywood actors, when there is no work, and they are far away from Hollywood, they have a little free time, so they have to drink and go to nightclubs together to have fun, and find the special charm of Tokyo.

These guys do feel that they are far away from the United States now, away from the more powerful Hollywood gossip media, and the security * work of this filming is also relatively well done, so they don't have to worry too much about being maliciously exposed.

Therefore, the true nature of the actors in these crews has long been exposed one by one. Let's go to a hot place like Tokyo and enjoy the unique culture of Japan.

Even with it, Li Xuan had to participate in it. Experience some acceptable and understandable activities in order to mingle with these fun-loving guys. Quickly accepted by them.

Fortunately, Li Xuan is still more careful not to go overboard, he is not as hungry and curious as those guys, he has cleaned himself up a little, and he has not let himself be infected with situations that he shouldn't touch, and he still has a bit of a bottom line.

In fact, after this kind of active fun and friendly communication, the actors in the crew were directly proved that there was no exaggerated bullying of newcomers as in the legend. or the situation where big-name stars wear small shoes for supporting actors like Li Xuan.

Li Xuan soon discovered that Christopher Nolan's crew, in addition to the actors' nonsense self-indulgence, the real and specific working atmosphere and environment are still relatively comfortable, and it makes it easy for him to get along with those stars who are not domineering.

Especially Leonardo, a guy who has become good friends with him, is like suddenly wearing a pair of pants with him, and his attitude is even further, and he thinks about him in various ways. I even saw that he didn't really like all kinds of special industry service beauties in Tokyo, but he even encouraged him in every possible way, and I felt very sorry for him!

Fortunately, Nolan's negotiation methods are more powerful. After several careful negotiations with the Tokyo government, the Hollywood director finally managed to reach an agreement with the Tokyo city officials and finally got permission to shoot. So. Leonardo and the others half-indulged in fun, and quickly and so simply lost the opportunity!

But Nolan didn't express any anger or unhappiness towards these big-name actors and stars who went out to mess around while filming was delayed. He made very serious preparations for the on-set work of filming to continue, and signaled the actors to return to work in time.

Then, the entire crew of "Inception" immediately returned to the right track, and it was like a formal working environment for a professional commercial blockbuster.

When it comes to the production environment of Hollywood blockbusters, this is also due to Li Xuan's rare encounter before, which is a relatively fresh personal experience.

At the beginning, he participated in the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li An. Although I have seen a variety of blockbuster shooting methods and techniques, I have met many professional filmmakers. But in fact, these are still the staff of Xiangjiang Bay. It's all Chinese, and Li Xuan doesn't think it's too special. The almost seamless shunl lì blends into it.

Now facing a real American-style Hollywood team composed of the vast majority of Americans, Li Xuan really has a bit of freshness and specialness.

It's a pity that Nolan didn't give Li Xuan too much specific time to experience the freshness, just when the crew continued to work again, this young director who is very responsible for film art quickly asked Li Xuan to appear in time in front of the camera to prepare, and he was about to play the role of the Asian super-rich in "Inception" that he needed to create!

In other words, even if it was the key clue-style character in this play, Li Xuan didn't have much time to prepare at all, and he immediately had to work hard to deduce the plump image of the character, which can be regarded as starting his personal role early.

This timely resumption of the first shooting scene about Li Xuan should be regarded as the first appearance of Li Xuan described in the script of "Inception", Nolan attaches great importance to the content of this scene and does not want to have a shooting difference.

At the same time, due to the previous communication with the Tokyo government, it seems that the schedule time has indeed been delayed a little, which makes Nolan deliberately strengthen the filming cycle to catch up with the progress a little, and the performance time set aside for Li Xuan and other actors is quietly shortening.

Basically, this can be regarded as another invisible pressure, which makes Li Xuan, a rookie actor who does not have much acting experience, seem to be burdened with more strong expectations.

However, Li Xuan personally doesn't care about this situation, even if the work preparation is a little tighter, and Nolan pays more attention to the performance requirements, such a slightly dignified situation still can't scare Li Xuan.

He originally planned to be able to develop well in the entertainment industry, these are all situations that he has been psychologically prepared for a long time, and he has always been very confident in himself.

……

"Okay, now it's the Tokyo location of "Inception", and the first scene of the scene about the Asian billionaire Saito is ready to shoot immediately. Please hurry up and get ready! ”

Soon, Nolan, who was on the official set, was still not smiling. Very seriously, it is clear that the whole film team is once again organizing the preparations. Immediately implemented the filming work in the Nolan crew environment for Li Xuan.

But at such a moment, Leonardo, as the biggest name in the crew, was not as nervous as others at all, based on his more lazy and natural appearance, and even deliberately laughed at his work partners in other scenes.

"Hey, Lee, this is the first time I've seen you act in person, show me something different. Can you make me forget your identity as a football referee? ”

Leonardo's curiosity about Li Xuan has obviously always been a lot.

However, Li Xuan really didn't be too cautious, and his response was also very confident and imposing: "Leo, don't underestimate me, I will act very well." Then, maybe I'll win an Oscar one day before you! ”

"Hahaha, Lee, you're so poisonous, be careful that our producer, Leonardo DiCaprio, puts little shoes on you. Swap out your characters! Hurry, hurry up and hug Leo's thigh or the other leg like those supermodels or Japanese actresses. Maybe there's room for redemption. ”

Joseph Gordon Levitt, who was also on the scene, was not worried about the trouble that Leonardo would be deliberately arranged on the spot, so he joked together.

Obviously, after these people also passed through the previous little private and chaotic Japanese customs street, they have indeed become very close to each other, and have become good friends like "wolf bèi is a traitor".

"Hmph, dare you say that you got the Oscar trophy a little earlier than me, Li, you don't want to mess around! I'm going to curse you. Curse you for the first time in Nolan's hands to shoot a specific scene failure, and the director immediately continued to ng. made Director Nolan, who was already extremely serious, angry, and then sprayed you on the spot! Leonardo pretended to be angry.

And then. He suddenly seemed to think of something, and turned to Joseph Gordon Levitt, who he had been familiar with for a long time, and smiled: "Hey, Joseph, I'm suddenly curious, I don't know how many ng Lee, who has almost no acting experience, will be in this official first shooting process?" According to the convention of newcomers, if it really exceeds the NG situation of more than ten or twenty articles, it will be quickly sprayed, because I heard that Director Nolan has not been very easy to contact at work recently, and his temper is very stinky! ”

Joseph Gordon Levitt immediately thought about it seriously, and then replied in a seemingly serious, but also a little joking: "Otherwise, Leo, let's make a bet, right?" Who of us can guess that the closer to the number of ng times about Lee's next on-site filming scenes, who will be treated to continue with a Japanese-style body massage service, how about it? ”

"Deal! However, Xiao Li, you dare to hack me, so arrogant and excessive! So, Xiao Li, I bet you will at least have to face Nolan for the first time this time, and you will ng at least fifteen or six times before you can complete the first acting scene that Director Nolan gives you this time. How about you, Lee, do you want to join us in this gamble, and then personally invite us to enjoy the meticulous service of those extremely obedient and well-behaved women and actresses in Japan? Leonardo is very lively, and he led such a bet to Li Xuan.

Faced with Leonardo's ridiculous remarks, Li Xuan shook his head and smiled, and said very confidently: "Hehe, bet on it, let you see it, even if I am a rookie actor, it is not a vase." If I'm going to have fewer times than you two guessed, you won't have to treat me to any massages or special services, and I'll just need you to treat me to a big meal. So, Joseph, would you guess how many times I would have been in front of Nolan's performance for the first time? ”

"Oh, Li, are you really very confident, or are you deliberately deceiving us indifferently?"

Joseph Gordon, Levitt couldn't help but look puzzled, and deliberately looked at Li Xuan's entire facial expression again, before slowly spit out a number, "Okay, OK eight times." I bet you'll ng no less than eight, if not more. As for the outcome of this gamble, it is very simple, it is still a treat. In the end, whoever is closer to the real NG number of times me or Leonardo will win. Of course, Xiao Li, you have almost no hope of winning, just a prop and a participant! ”

When Leonardo heard this, he also nodded quickly: "That's right, in this betting plan, whoever has the closer numbers will win." Xiao Li, we don't even worry that you will deliberately go to NG yourself and create extra times on the spot to win the game. Therefore, you have taken a big advantage by participating in the gambling game this time. Of course, I'll bet you at least fifteen times! ”

"Okay, let you lose clearly, I said, I will do it at all in the next Nolan movie first role performance clip, especially not because of me! Hehe, I'm already waiting for a big meal for you two guys. ”

After Leonardo heard Li Xuan's still confident attitude, he couldn't help but be stunned again: "Your kid's personality is not like a traditional Chinese at all, he is really too immodest, I will wait for you to lose face." ”

"Yes, we have been acting for so many years, and we don't dare to brag about such a bull, but you still dare to be so bold, it seems that you are just talking casually! I really don't believe it, you can't do it for the first time! Joseph Gordon, Levitt was also very unacceptable, looking at Li Xuan as if he was already admiring the mouth cannon loser, and then he changed again, and it seemed that he was about to experience the joy of imminent victory.

And just when these guys were chatting and betting in front of the camera, the rest of the actors or crew members finally took their places one after another and appeared in the first scene of Li Xuan's performance.

Then, Nolan suddenly raised the loudspeaker again to remind the various departments and actors on the scene to make the final preparations, so he simply and decisively shouted "", officially filming again, but it can be regarded as Li Xuan's relatively fresh performance stage.!

In an instant, Li Xuan, who appeared in front of the camera performance stage completely, immediately restrained himself from the ordinary teasing state of chatting and farting with Leonardo and others before, and instantly became a very temperamental and imposing person, with a strategic-like taste in his eyes, and became a lifelike rich character described in the script!

It seems that Li Xuan is still the same Li Xuan as before. He was no different from a fun-loving young man, an ordinary man who had just joked with Leonardo and Joseph Gordon Levitt.

However, at the moment, he seems to have a relatively strong performance feeling.

Because Li Xuan deliberately threw away the sense of local decadence, and replaced it with a super-rich man who looks down on the world and is full of pride. And unlike the nouveau riche state, Li Xuan easily showed a bit of a different state of successful elites, and at first glance he looked like an upper-class successful rich man with a bit of aristocratic temperament!

Obviously, Li Xuan is playing his personal role very seriously, making his role as a rich Asian man more vivid and three-dimensional, not just a stiff role like an introduction and a sponsor of the movie protagonist's itinerary, as if he has directly given a soul to such a role.

"Click! The first one of the first shots just now, once passed, everyone did a good job! Especially Xiao Li, you did a great job, the first time you starred in my movie, but it really impressed me! ”

Nolan didn't pay attention to Li Xuan's extremely outrageous bets or bragging, but in this case, he was regarded as the director of the authoritative terminator, and Li Xuan was given a very clear proof of ability and excellent praise on the spot.

As a result, Leonardo DiCaprio and Joseph Gordon Levitt almost became even more shocked and unbelievable after the first shot of Li Xuan's first Nolan play ended in TongguΓ²!

They were very surprised that Li Xuan's strong acting ability was able to easily complete the first-class requirements from director Nolan, who attached great importance to the quality and effect of the film with his acting skills that were not done for the first time. (To be continued.) )
