After breakfast, Zhang Chengyuan sent the Zheng sisters away, and then rushed to the crew to continue filming. Three days later, he flew to Tokyo, Japan to meet the crew of "Inception". It is estimated that it will take at least a month or two to return to South Korea.

At noon on July 12, Jang Sung-won arrived in Japan and immediately met director Christopher in a hotel. Nolan, actor Leonardo? DiCaprio, Alan? Peggy, Tom? Hardy, Marion? Cotillard, Ken Watanabe, Lucas? Haas and other crew members. Well, and his Hollywood agent Jon? Brian, before Zhang Chengyuan was integrated into the crew, he naturally had to follow Zhang Chengyuan, this was his duty.

In addition to director Nolan, the other crew members, Zhang Chengyuan almost saw them for the first time, of course, this does not mean that he can't recognize them at all, not to mention the agent Jon before this? Brian has done enough homework for him, even if he doesn't do his homework, Zhang Chengyuan can recognize one or two, at least the famous Leonardo, who has starred in blockbuster or classic movies such as "Titanic", "Blood Diamond", and "The Departed"? DiCaprio, he definitely knows, although he now seems to be much more vicissitudes and fortune than the image in previous movies, but he is still quite handsome and charming.

Also, Marion? Cotillard, a famous actress who just won the Golden Globe Award, Oscar and other awards for Best Actress last year for "La Vie en Rose", is also somewhat familiar. As for the other actors, forgive him for his clumsiness, he really didn't have the slightest impression before doing his homework.

However, he does not despise them either, because of their global popularity, especially in the West. Most of them are not below him. There are even many more than him.

Although he is famous in Korea and even in the whole of East Asia. But in Hollywood and the Western world, not many people know each other, at most only in the hearts of some audiences who like kung fu movies, a little famous. However, despite this, with his xing character, he will naturally not be arrogant, and it is even more impossible to grovel to others. At this time, or at any other time.

Fortunately, the Western world does not have South Korea's strict hierarchical and inferior system, so the crew members don't think that Jang Sung-won doesn't respect them enough, but thinks that he is neither humble nor arrogant, which is exciting, and he is fit, handsome and personable, and fluent in English, so he has a good impression of him, and they are also very happy to talk to him.

And in order to be able to communicate better with them in order to make a good movie. Zhang Chengyuan naturally did not hesitate to communicate with them more, and even resorted to a little special means. Let them be able to get acquainted with him quickly, so that they can cultivate some tacit understanding and reduce obstacles when filming. And the effect is obviously good, by the time dinner this night, Jang Sung-won was quite familiar with most of the actors, and even occasionally made some innocuous jokes with each other.

After a night's rest, the next day, "Inception" began filming on the roof of a skyscraper in Tokyo and in a helicopter parked on the roof. There are four main actors in this scene: Leonardo? DiCaprio, Jang Sung-won, Ken Watanabe and Lucas? Haas, along with several other actors hired in Japan, play the bodyguard of the Japanese tycoon played by Ken Watanabe.

Although before filming, the local government in Tokyo had very strict regulations on the flight altitude and flight route of helicopters, so it took a lot of effort for the crew to apply for the right to use helicopters for filming, but the filming of this scene was quite smooth. The four actors are all acting veterans, Leonardo? DiCaprio is free, Ken Watanabe is sophisticated and domineering, Jang Sung-won is confident and calm, and Lucas, who doesn't have half a line in this scene? Haas also behaved in a very natural manner. Of course, this is also because the difficulty of this scene is not great.

But no matter what, the first scene of the opening scene was completed smoothly after all, which made director Nolan and the crew very happy. And the scene of Zhang Chengyuantong guò made people initially realize his superb acting skills, and also won their inner respect. At least for now, his acting skills are not inferior to Leonardo? DiCaprio and others, and the way of acting is also very in line with Hollywood movies.

In addition, director Nolan's directing style left a deep impression on Jang Sung-won, who usually only told the actors about his shooting intentions, but not directly told the actors what you should do and how to say, so it left a lot of room for the actors to play freely. This is like a fish in water for an actor like Zhang Chengyuan with superb acting skills and experience, and he can also give full play to his own strength and maximum potential.

Soon after, Zhang Chengyuan also felt a very interesting difference between Nolan and other directors he had seen - in order to allow the actors to act more immersively and more realistically, Nolan did not allow the actors to have an in-depth understanding of the entire script, and he was the only one in the entire crew, while most of the other actors only had a part of the script related to themselves, so that the actors could follow the role they played, step by step, like a detective investigating the case, With a lot of thoughts, figure out this movie.

……

After about ten days of filming in Japan, the crew ended their scenes in Japan, and then went to the United Kingdom to shoot some important scenes, including a very complicated scene in a converted aircraft hangar in north London - a weightless fight scene in a hotel corridor.

In order to shoot this imaginative fight scene, the crew deliberately spent a lot of money to build a hotel corridor that can rotate 360 degrees, so that when this corridor rotates, the actors can fight like a cornice walking on the wall.

And this scene happens to be the main scene of the dream thief assistant played by Zhang Chengyuan, Zhang Chengyuan gave full play to his superb skills, and only rehearsed for about an hour to fully adapt to the movement and jump in this environment, and then with a stuntman who has been trained for a long time, in this rotating corridor, cooperated to perform an intense, bizarre and wonderful action scene, which made the director Nolan and others feel satisfied and praised, and felt that they had found the right actor, at least use Zhang Chengyuan to shoot this scene, Saved a day or two of shooting time.

In addition, since the start of filming, all the scenes played by Zhang Chengyuan have also made him very satisfied, because he is the actor with the least number of NG times in the whole crew, whether it is literary drama or action drama; Moreover, no matter what time it is, he can show 100% concentration and acting status, which is the most amazing and admirable. Of course, Korean actors will not be surprised if they see this situation, because they have long been accustomed to Zhang Sungwon's filming situation.

After filming the scenes in the UK, the crew moved to Paris, France, and Tangier, Morocco to continue filming. Since there were not many scenes in these two places, Zhang Chengyuan asked the director to put his scenes together as much as possible and started filming first, and after completing these scenes, he took leave twice to return to China, and then seized the time to shoot some scenes of "IRIS" and took time to spend time with some sisters.

Of course, these two periods are not long, and they add up to more than half a month, but in only about half a month, he filmed five or six episodes of scenes related to him. Although he himself is not very tired, he is tired enough to choke the actors and staff who work with him, if it weren't for the actors' roles that can be adjusted and staggered, and Zhang Chengyuan supported a group of film and television drama staff to the "IRIS" crew in time, plus the director has exactly two people who can rest alternately, but I am afraid that the whole crew will be tired and fall apart.

So everyone has some complaints about him, but with Zhang Chengyuan's current status, there are a few people who dare to make irresponsible remarks in front of him, as for secret discussions, it is definitely inevitable, but Zhang Chengyuan doesn't bother to pay attention to it. It's just out of guilt that Lin Jisoo allocated some funds and manpower to improve the diet, accommodation, transportation, medical care and other aspects of the crew members to compensate a little.

And the crew of "Inception" didn't care much about his departure halfway, anyway, it almost didn't affect the normal filming of the crew, and after this period of getting along, everyone's favorability towards Zhang Chengyuan increased dramatically, and even several main actors have treated him as a good friend, so they didn't complain about director Nolan for Zhang Chengyuan's little convenience.

After returning to China twice, when Zhang Chengyuan returned to "Inception", it was almost mid-September, and the filming location was also transferred to Los Angeles, where Zhang Chengyuan had a lot of scenes, so he did not ask for leave to leave, and worked diligently until the beginning of November after all the filming of his scenes was completed, and then he officially left the crew. In the meantime, "IRIS" has already aired eight episodes on KBS, and he has "regretted" been absent from some other related publicity - in fact, he is quite happy because it saves time and talk about boring media.

After he left, the crew of "Inception" went to a mountain range near Banff National Park in Calgary, Canada for the last location shooting, because Zhang Chengyuan did not have any scenes here, so he did not have to go with him. Maybe he needs to come back to the crew when the director feels the need to let him come back to shoot some scenes or the film starts to be promoted.

The filming of this movie consumed Zhang Chengyuan's precious time for more than three months, and it also affected the filming process of "IRIS", and Zhang Chengyuan also put in a lot of money in order to appease the love of the members of "IRIS". However, he is not without gains, not to mention the great director Christopher? Nolan's appreciation, maybe he can work with him again in the future, or be recommended by him to other directors and producers; Not to mention how much this movie will enhance his popularity and popularity after it is released in the future, just get Leonardo? DiCaprio, Marion? Cotillard, Alan? Peggy, Tom? The friendship of Hardy and many other actors has expanded his network among Hollywood actors, which has made his trip worthwhile.

It can be said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so he does not feel that he has suffered losses or regrets. (To be continued......)
