The Lost Domain is a very special place, the edge of the subconscious, and in the entire narrative of Inception, the Lost Domain is not a dream realm, but a place that is independent of the three layers of dreams. Once you enter the Lost Realm, you will get lost in it, and in the movie, Cobb and Mel are lost in the Lost Realm.

However, regarding the level of dreams, Shao Shuaijun's design did not specifically delineate them, because the ending is an open-ended ending. If the top stops, it's a three-layer dream plus a lost domain, and if the top doesn't stop, then it's still in a dream, which is a four-layer dream plus a lost domain.

In short, this is a very complicated story, in the foundation action, a total of seven dreams were entered, plus the way of interpolation and flashback, even if you talk about it for ten days, you can't understand the level of the dream. But anyway, it's a sharp story.

The reason why some of the footage was shot in Morocco was because the environment was suitable for storytelling, and because there were often large film crews filming here, there were experienced and talented film crews in the area. At any time, as long as the crew needs to start work, the local cooperation work is very in place, and the local residents are also very accustomed to the working style of the blockbuster crew, and they are very cooperative.

Shao Shuaijun sat under a parasol, with the sea in front of Tangier, and by the sea, the crew built a large row of houses and built the basic prototype of the Lost Domain. In the later special effects, the Lost Domain will gradually expand and create various effects of collapse and destruction. And now, it's time to film the plot of Leo and Allen going ashore.

As soon as the start time came, Shao Shuaijun's tables and chairs were immediately put into the building by the staff. Then he and the crew were one of them. I took off my shoes and socks, ran into the sea, and waited for the shooting. This afternoon, I don't know what's going on, there was no wind, the waves were very small, and the crew had to rent an engine and modify it slightly to build a small wave-making machine.

"Let's go!"

……

After filming from Tangier, the crew immediately rushed to Calgary, Canada. Here in Banff National Park. There is a fortress hill that offers filming. Fresh from the tropics, it's a wonderful taste to head out into the cold zone to enjoy the snow and ice. In order to step on the point shooting, Shao Shuaijun and the photographer. Driving a snowmobile. Speeding through the mountains.

"I love snowy mountains! Whew! What a beautiful view! Shao Shuaijun sat in the car. Loud shouting, panting. The higher you go, the thinner the air becomes.

The guide laughed: "Only very experienced skiers or mountaineers." to reach higher peaks. ”

"Oh my God!" Several assistant directors immediately wailed, and then secretly glanced at Shao Shuaijun, in the past two days, they have seen Shao Shuaijun's crazy side. There is no place he dare not go, there is no snow action that he does not dare to play, he is not here to make a movie, but to go on vacation.

Sure enough, Shao Shuaijun's eyes lit up: "I feel that at this moment, Gongbu, Wang Fuzhou, and Qu Yinhua are possessed!" Let's-go! ”

While driving the motorcycle, the guide asked, "Who are Kampot, Wang Fuzhou, and Qu Yinhua?" ”

Gao Zhisheng gasped while inhaling oxygen and said: "China, the Himalayas, the people who climb up. ”

"They are the heroes of our Chinese mountaineering industry, who have climbed to the top of the Himalayas at the top of the world! They did not use artificial oxygen at an altitude of 8882 meters above sea level, only the Chinese in the world can do it! Whew, Gao Zhisheng is too wasteful, it's only less than 3,000 meters, and you're still sitting on a motorcycle, you're panting like this, your physique is too weak! Shao Shuaijun was very excited, galloping on the snowy mountain, this feeling was very wonderful.

When the motorcycle stopped at the highest place of Fortress Mountain, looking at the plain white world below, Shao Shuaijun felt dizzy, and now it was at least four thousand meters high, and he felt a little unstable when he stood up.

"Director, take a breath of oxygen!"

Shao Shuaijun's face was purple and he rolled his eyes: "Do you think I look like a person who wants to inhale oxygen, four thousand meters, play!" I'm telling you, we're going to start shooting from here and slide all the way down, so it's beautiful enough and I'm going to let the audience enjoy everything I'm enjoying now...... Uh, no, come on, give me a breath of oxygen......"

The shooting in Fort Mountain was painful and happy, the weather was cold, and it felt novel when I first came, and gradually it became boring. About a week or so, the filming at Fort Hill was over, the actors had been evacuated, and Shao Shuaijun, as the director, had to wait a day, because a model of the fortress had to be built here for filming.

In order to be realistic, the scale of the model building is 10:1, and at the same time, it must be covered by snow, fog and other effects, plus the processing of post-production special effects, so that even if it is an IMAX shot, the fortress looks very real.

"Sister Xiuxiu, you definitely can't think of what I'm doing now, haha, we're tearing down a fortress...... Of course, a cool and tall fortress, on a snowy mountain.? Facing the satellite phone, Shao Shuaijun wrapped himself in a wide down jacket and said.

There is no mobile phone signal near Fort Hill, so you can only use satellite phones to make calls. And every three or five days, they have to make a phone call to Li Xiuxiu, which has also become a fixed habit for the two of them.

Li Xiuxiu's voice came from the phone: "Tear down the fortress, you can fool it!" ”

"I didn't fool you, the fortress was formed by our drama...... Haha, the cost is very small, mainly because the labor cost is relatively expensive, there are too few Canadians, and it is not easy to invite workers. We made a 10:1 model, and when the shooting was over, the local government asked us to dismantle it so as not to pollute the environment...... Without further ado, I had to go up and kick my feet twice, and it felt like I was a giant! ”

The fort was demolished and the waste materials were taken away, and the crew officially bid farewell to Fort Hill and Canada.

Now, all you need to do is settle the final scenes in Los Angeles, wait for post-production, and then release it.

However, before that, Shao Shuaijun wanted to return to China to participate in the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In order to cope with this conference, Shao Shuaijun also took time to make a report, the topic is very general, only for the entertainment industry, about the content that should be completed as soon as possible.

At the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Mr. Hu issued a report entitled "Holding High the Great Banner of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics and Striving for a New Victory in Building a Moderately Prosperous Society in an All-round Way".

At the end of the meeting, Shao Shuaijun was blocked by the reporter and asked some questions: "May I ask Director Shao, what are your views and insights on Mr. Hu's report?" ”

Shao Shuaijun said to the camera seriously: "Far-sighted, strategic......"

The conference didn't end until October 22, and Shao Shuaijun didn't return to the United States until the 23rd.

After a week of struggle, finally, on November 2, 2007, after three and a half months of preparation and shooting, the regular scenes of "Inception" were completed! Since this play is involved in the whole process of special effects production, the post-production part, from lighting distribution to special effects, can be completed in about one and a half months.

As a result, "Inception" is officially determined to fight this year's Christmas file!

On November 21, it premiered simultaneously in North America and China, and then landed around the world one after another! (To be continued......)
