In Hollywood, Charlotte's original time and space, John Cusack is a powerful actor.

He is best known for his role in "2012", the good father, third-rate writer and super-first-class driver who crossed the Pacific Ocean and secretly boarded the ark in order to escape with his family.

And in addition, the movies starring John Cusack are mostly independent films and some small and medium-budget works -

Like the famous psychological horror film "Fatal ID", the warm sci-fi film "Children of Mars" and the funny "Hot Tub Time Machine" series, etc.

However, most of those are after 2002.

In today's time and space, in 2002, John Cusack's most famous role was the prison bailiff Agent Raj in "Prison in the Sky".

That was in 1997 --

At that time, John Cusack was still mainly playing the handsome boy.

He teamed up with Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage to really create a very popular action movie.

Nicolas Cage further completed his transformation into a tough-guy action star, and John Cusack's performance was also quite acclaimed.

But it doesn't stop there.

In the following years, although John Cusack starred in many movies and generally received good reviews, he did not make his career any further.

- Obviously his acting skills are good, and his appearance is not low, but John Cusack has always maintained a state of half-red and not purple.

His status among Hollywood movie stars can't fall, but he can't come up either.

This left John Cusack quite depressed.

By Christmas last year, he was starting to think about whether he was going to make a complete transformation into independent films.

But at this time, he received an audition invitation from the crew of "Inception......

"I hope the role of Arthur can bring some different impact to my career!"

Thinking back to his experience of getting the role, John Cusack looked forward to it.

Charlotte didn't know about John Cusack's psychology.

- Although he is proficient in magic, he is not an immortal after all, and he cannot penetrate into everyone's heart.

In fact, he invited John Cusack to play the role of Arthur, which was also a no-brainer.

After all, Arthur's actor in the original "Inception", Joseph, is now only in his early 20s, and it is okay to be the leading actor in youth idol films, and he is still unable to play an important supporting actor in commercial blockbusters.

- Although Charlotte likes this good-looking actor very much, and even in this time and space, she worked with the young him once because of "Hell Detective", and left a good impression, but after all, she can't joke about her own movie.

In contrast, John Cusack, who is now 36 years old, is very suitable for the role of Arthur -

John Cusack, though he doesn't have the "embarrassed" face, is also very suitable for the kind of serious but occasionally funny character.

In fact, Agent Raj, whom he played in "Prison in the Sky", is such a type.

And that's the main reason Charlotte chose him.

In particular, his current age is the best age for Hollywood actors.

Put on old makeup and let go of some weight, you can play a mature and stable uncle-type role;

And the makeup is younger, and then the thin and slim is not a problem, and it is not a problem to play a young man in his 20s.

Coupled with John Cusack's own acting skills, Charlotte is quite satisfied with her choice.

In fact, in the current shooting, John Cusack has done a really good job.

Not to mention anything else, he and Charlotte's partner are very compatible, and the tacit understanding between Arthur and Damme Cobb in the story is vividly expressed.

Even the action scene filmed in a giant gimbal ring, he didn't have a lot of experience in action movies before, and he acted very hard.

- That's right, it's the fight scene where Arthur is weightless.

According to the story, because the car in the first dream fell from the bridge, the second dream with a slower flow of time appeared in a state of weightlessness.

And it is precisely this state that creates the most classic fight scene in "Inception".

To film this scene, a giant gimbal machine was needed.

Of course, this is talking about the filming method of the "Inception" crew in the original time and space.

In this time and space with spells, Charlotte can actually use spells to achieve a similar weightlessness effect without the help of gimbal rings or other special effect technologies.

However, in order to avoid too many people knowing the secret of the spell, he still asked the prop team to build a giant gimbal ring.

It's just that the structure in it is not complicated, and it can't complete the weightlessness effect alone, so it must be used with his spells.

Of course, apart from Charlize and others, most of the cast and crew of the crew do not understand this.

- Most people just don't know what to do.

Overall, the filming of Inception went relatively smoothly.

While some may have some criticism of Charlotte's self-directed and self-starred approach to a commercial blockbuster, his previous Oscar nomination for Best Actor was not for nothing.

What's more, the people in the real "Inception" crew, as long as they have worked together for a period of time, will not doubt Charlotte's acting skills.

- Actually, Charlotte sometimes brazenly thinks that she plays better than the original Little Plum.

After all, although Leonardo DiCaprio's peak appearance can be called invincible, when it came time to shoot "Inception", he had already made himself a rough uncle for the Oscars.

- At that time, Xiao Lizi, even if he hadn't picked up the water gun, but if he got on the boat with Kate Winslet, it was enough to make the Titanic tremble.

Not to mention that Leonardo's performance mode at that time was already a bit routine - frowning and growling, these two iconic movements, made him always feel like a DiCaprio no matter what role he played.

In addition, Charlotte thinks she is pretty good-

Although he is not a professional actor, the professional characteristics of the master of deception make him have acting skills everywhere in his life, so when it comes to real acting, it is not difficult to achieve this transformation.

In particular, Charlotte feels that she is better than Xiao Lizi in terms of giving souls to the characters.

Of course, this kind of performance is a matter of opinion and wisdom after all. But—

"At least, the two heroines I played with were much more beautiful than Marion Cotillard. ”

Charlotte thought boredly.

At this time, the old gun's "Midnight Bell" has been produced, and it is not far from the release-
