Chapter 11: I'm afraid
Iceland is not an island, but a country.
Under the layers of ice and snow, there is the rushing of volcanic magma, nearly three hundred volcanoes are located under this island country, Lin Xiao was taken aback when he heard it, the word "living fire molten city" is probably designed for this country.
As small volcanoes erupt in the middle of nowhere, you can occasionally see the sunset and puffins flying together, and the red fire and the aurora are a rare spectacle.
At the beginning of March, there is no snow on the ground, it is all ice, and in fact, no matter what the season, you can find a thick layer of snow on the tall mountains around you.
Floating icebergs, in a thousand forms, exist on the surface of the sea with floating ice, and the blue water meets the sky at the end of people's sight, merging into one. On a large and sparsely populated island, there are not many pedestrians as far as the eye can see, even though it is a country.
"Whew." After getting off the plane, Lin Xiao took a deep breath of air, and the fresh air seemed to have the clear smell of ice cubes.
"I don't know how many times the air is better than China and Japan." He smiled emotionally.
"Yes, when I get old, I'll buy a house here, it's too suitable for retirement." Next to the "former boxing champion" William showed an exaggerated smile, "But, I'm afraid it's expensive, right?" ”
Lin Xiao laughed secretly, in a few years, the terrible economic depression in 09 will sweep the world, and a country like Iceland will actually declare bankruptcy.
He patted William on the shoulder, "Werewolf brother, you just need to save enough before 09." ”
"Haha. Do you also know that William is the name of a werewolf? ”
In addition to freshness, the second feeling is - cold!
There are icebergs all around, so it's no wonder it's not cold.
Just when Lin Xiao was about to add another piece of clothing, a tall man, wearing a thick camel hair coat, stepped off the plane.
With golden eyebrows, blonde hair, eyes as blue as the sea, and deep contours, walking down the street is enough to attract the attention of women.
He passed by Lin Xiao, didn't look at it, and walked straight away.
"Christian. Bel. William whistled, his eyes drifting to Lin Xiao, "Lin, he doesn't seem to like you." ”
Lin Xiao spread his hands indifferently.
No one can see everyone love flowers and see flowers bloom, it is enough for him to be himself.
He also understands very well why Bell doesn't like him.
Bell, who started acting as a child star, has a rich resume, and even starred in Spielberg's masterpiece "The Empire of the Sun". "He has enough capital. His mentor originally thought it was Liam Neeson, but it turned out to be a young man a few years younger than himself!
From the very beginning of the selection of the role, it was destined that Bale would not like this person who was seven years younger than him.
Americans' dislike is choosing to ignore them, or bluntly saying "I don't like you." "And no matter how much China wants to maintain a superficial relationship, this is a difference in thinking.
"By the way, when is the boot ceremony?" Lin Xiao put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind and asked.
"Boot ceremony?" William thought for a moment, "To be exact, Hollywood's opening ceremony is to pour a champagne tower in the hotel, but director Nolan didn't do that, and generally speaking, this film doesn't have a opening ceremony." ”
120 million films don't hold a kick-off ceremony? Lin Xiao smiled, it is really a country with its own customs.
"I heard that the opening ceremony in the Asia-Pacific region is very grand? Don't worry, the celebration here will scare the hell out of you – if this film is a hit. Let's go, future big stars. William teased that since Lin Xiao showed his hand, his relationship with the other party has been particularly good, and at this moment, he helped Lin Xiao take a bag and take the first step.
Walking out of the airport, several vans pulled everyone towards the set.
Lin Xiao was also quite looking forward to how to find the mystery of the famous chivalrous shadow in the previous life, the attic between the snow-capped mountains.
After driving for more than two hours, he finally came to the place he wanted to see.
However, this time it was not only him, but all the artists were stunned.
The car drove through a small town, saying that it was a small town, and the population was no different from a village with a large number of Chinese, and continued to turn into layers of snow-capped mountains, and what they saw when they got out of the car turned out to be a loft of several hundred square meters that had been built on the first floor and had not yet been built on the second floor!
Bell in front of the "MYGOD......" took off his sunglasses in surprise, stared intently at the brownish wood attic that was being renovated, and muttered "God" in disbelief...... It turned out to be the loft that I completely rebuilt! Just to shoot ...... at this spot"
"No, it's not all redone." As soon as he finished speaking, a deep baritone voice sounded: "This attic was originally a monastery, but it has fallen into disrepair, and it has been damaged a lot, and there is no second floor, we just add another layer on the basis of the first floor, and change the internal structure by the way." ”
Nolan walked over with a pen in his ear and a notebook in his hand with a smile on his face.
"How?" He asked the crowd with a smile.
"It's great." Lin Xiao said with emotion.
This attic, located between the mountains, is not appropriate to say that it is mountains, the surrounding snow-capped mountains are very far away, above the attic, as if the whole person is in an endless ice and snow world, really respond to the desire to be poor, go to the next level.
It's a bit like when Lord of the Rings Three lit the beacon.
He couldn't help but have respect for Nolan in his heart, just to find this scene, I don't know how much effort it took to find this scene, he doesn't like to use computer synthesis, this attic speaks for itself.
At the same time, it also proves one thing, filming under him is definitely not an easy task.
“OK!” Nolan clapped his hands, and everyone who was busy stopped, "Give everyone a day to get used to, and the day after tomorrow will officially start filming." The climate, the food, when you enter your dormitory -- oh, the row of board houses next to you, there will be someone to explain to you. ”
"In this play, I have only one request, EVERYONE, everyone, must do their best! It is my honor that you have chosen me, but if you make this choice, you must listen to me. I don't want to hear someone say no during filming, even if it's a cliff, you have to jump off it - of course, that's just an assumption that doesn't exist. ”
"Alright, let's go our separate ways."
After speaking, he beckoned to Lin Xiao and Bell, "Gentlemen, this is the place where you will spend about a month or dozens of days, so I will take you to find out." ”
At this moment, Kenya Watanabe finally arrived, he was obviously not used to the climate here, or rather, the climate here caused him to sink into trouble, Nolan said with concern, "Mr. Watanabe doesn't need to go, I'll take Lin and Christian to visit." ”
Watanabe Qian nodded, smiled at Lin Xiao, and also smiled at Bell, and politely walked to the dormitory with the support of the assistant.
Nolan took Lin Xiao and Bell as if for a leisurely stroll, and walked all the way out of the barracks. Only then did he smile and say, "Different styles, different lives, this is the most wonderful thing about making movies, I firmly believe so." Lin, what do you think of this place? ”
"It's very exotic." Lin Xiao smiled: "I don't know if I can catch fish under the lake." ”
"How do you know there's a lake?" Nolan was taken aback and looked around, "There's only a mountain here, right?" ”
Lin Xiao smiled embarrassedly, there is indeed a lake, the mystery of the chivalrous shadow in the previous life was also filmed here, but he didn't expect that he was caught by Nolan as soon as he said something.
"Guess." He laughs.
Apparently, Nolan accepted this explanation, his hand ran over a snowy rock next to him, scribbled "NOLAN" in English, and suddenly smiled and said, "Look at the mountains on all sides, do people seem very small in them?" ”
The two looked around and nodded.
Nolan sighed, "I always feel like I'm so insignificant in this kind of scene. ”
"Even, it's a little scary." He exhaled a white breath, "What about you? ”
Lin Xiao didn't feel anything, he didn't have a fear of heights, and shrugged his shoulders, "I'm fine, this is a contrast between the big and the small, and it's easy to make people feel awe." ”
"Awe?" Nolan thought for a moment, "I don't really understand, but I think I can understand the meaning of the word." ”
"I'm fine." Bell opened his mouth in front of Lin Xiao for the first time, and his voice was a voice unique to middle-aged men, "Director Nolan, don't worry about me." ”
Nolan had already taken the two of them farther and farther, and only a small shadow could be seen in the barracks, he said and laughed, and took Lin Xiao and the two to the edge of a cliff in front of them, and stopped more than twenty meters away from the cliff.
The wind whined through the rocks on the edge of the cliff, ruffling the hair of the three of them, making people feel as if they were in front of the mouth of a demon.
Here, there is a very obvious slope, and more than ten meters ahead, the terrain suddenly slides down at an angle of 60 degrees.
"A miracle of nature." Nolan looked at the slope and muttered, "Sometimes I wonder what's down there." ”
Lin Xiao smiled: "Director, why don't you go and take a look?" ”
"I'm afraid." Nolan made no secret of the fact that "this kind of place is scary when you think about it." I'm curious, but I've never seen it. I knew I could see it from behind the rocks next to me, and I couldn't slip down, but I was scared too. ”
"Three people, I'll pull you, it's okay." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Let's take a look?" ”
Nolan blew in the wind for a full five seconds before he nodded.
The three of them came to the edge of the rocks, which were huge, full of snow, and high enough for their chests that no matter how idiotic they were, they could not have fallen.
In this environment, the feeling of majestic nature that suddenly rises actually makes the three of them hold each other's shoulders and stretch their necks to look down.
Below, nothing.
It's so silvery white that it's not easy to see at all.
I can't see how deep, how far I can't see, I can't see anything clearly.
Anything is dropped, and they believe there is not a single sound.
Including people.
"Whew." Nolan breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought there was a dragon's nest below, but it doesn't look like a dragon has flown out." So I'm relieved. ”
He sat down with his back against the rock, lit a cigarette, looked at the cigarette butt, and suddenly smiled.
"Do you know why I'm afraid?"
"Because, there's a scene where you're going to fall down from here."
"There was only a thin Wia hanging from the slope we just saw, all the way down like a snowball."
"Now, I'm not afraid."
