Chapter 241: Water guns, sunglasses, trousers
"Pangong Lake? Where is it? β
"Over there on the XZ plateau, at the border." Li Yifei said, two slender arms passed under his armpits, and typed the three words Pangong Lake on the keyboard, "Oh, you can see for yourself." β
This Pangong Lake, Tianchi Lake, and Xingkai Lake are known as the Three Great Boundary Lakes. It's just that the identity of this section of the Gonghu is more sensitive, and it is at the junction of the Sino-Indian border.
The big head of Pangong Lake belongs to the country, and the small head belongs to Ah San next door.
As for distinguishing this boundary line, it is also very easy, which side is lush with water and grass, birds and flowers, is domestic; Where there is no grass, a desolate place, is next door.
The reason for this spectacle is that this Pangong Lake is a mixture of fresh and salt water.
Huo Yunting searched for relevant photos again, and couldn't help but feel a little moved, just like Liu Yifei said, the beautiful ones seemed to be fake.
The place is really beautiful, but he is a little worried that Pangong Lake is in the border area, and idle people can't enter it casually.
"Don't worry, Brother Yun, I've seen it in advance, this is a tourist area, you can go. I still have a lot of pictures. β
Hearing Liu Yifei say this, Huo Yunting made up his mind that the filming location would be temporarily set at Pangong Lake, which was really poking his heart.
The matter that was pressing on his heart was another matter, Huo Yunting breathed a long sigh of relief, and scratched the tip of Liu Yifei's upturned nose, "Look down on you, you still know such a place." β
Liu Yifei snorted proudly, "Of course, I've been looking at this place for a long time." I've been to the field. β
"What do you think this place is for?"
"I think we're going there for our honeymoon." This time it was much quieter.
As soon as the words came out, Huo Yunting's body stiffened a little.
The engagement has not been mentioned yet, and this girl has already begun to figure out where to spend her honeymoon after getting married.
Soon, the stiff body softened again, and he scratched her chin slightly, "Let's discuss it with the old people next New Year's Day, the date of engagement and marriage." β
Seeing that the year 10 is getting closer and closer, the matter of the two of them should also be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and it cannot be delayed any longer.
His illness was the same.
"Uh-huh!" Liu Yifei nodded heavily.
Liu Yifei took a lot of photos when she visited Pangong Lake, and her camera happened to be in the suitcase, Huo Yunting looked over one by one, and felt more and more that this place was deeply in his heart.
So he sent a message to Nolan and told him that he had already chosen the place for the opening scene, which was at Pangong Lake.
Later, these photos taken by Liu Yifei, as well as the exterior and interior drawings of the Chinese buildings that he had designed before, were sent over together.
After three or five days, Nolan came back with the news, and he had no objection to the filming location of Pangong Lake. The same goes for architecture.
Only then did Huo Yunting breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Nolan, I'll leave you with the rest. Please send me a message if you have questions. β
"Of course."
Then the two agreed on a shooting time, which will be on January 3 next year.
Huo Yunting had already greeted Wang Jiawei in advance, and he might have to take another leave on New Year's Eve.
Wang Jiawei didn't say much, because according to his mind, he waited until the end of this year to give everyone in the crew a New Year's Eve leave.
I can't stand it.
After writing the script and writing the storyboard, his brain rotated every day, and he felt that billions of brain cells had died in the past few months.
He also had to rest, and he suspected that he would die suddenly.
On December 29th, the crew of "The Grandmaster" finished filming all the scenes in Chikan Ancient Town, and then it was time to go to the snowy Harbin.
Wong Kar-wai revealed that he also invited Zhao Benshan to play a cameo role in one of the roles.
Go back, but not now, everyone in the crew needs a good rest.
After the filming of the last scene in Chikan Ancient Town, Wang Jiawei loudly announced that he would give the crew a ten-day vacation, but it was not good to make everyone happy.
I took ten days off today, and when I caught up with the New Year in two months, I could take it for ten days and a half months, and there was nothing more beautiful in the world than this.
Huo Yunting instructed Shi Xingyu and Chen Weitao to take care of his father, and then took Liu Yifei to Pangong Lake, preparing to shoot "Inception".
Although there is no Liu Yifei's role in the script, it is still okay to take a look at the past, otherwise it is somewhat unreasonable to throw her to the ancient town and run away.
Huo Yunting only gave a general direction, and in Pangong Lake, the specific filming location and other issues were arranged by Nolan himself.
Huo Yunting's eyes couldn't help but light up after arriving at the place.
The white sand on the ground is distinct from the clear water of the lake, and the sky is blue and pure color.
Looking at the prospect, Huo Yunting couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The autumn water is the same color as the sky......"
The water of the lake is very clear, and you can see it at a depth of about four or five meters.
Not far away, there is a small building with cornices and corners, which was originally a nearby B&B, but the roof and walls have been repainted, and now it looks antique.
When Huo Yunting arrived, Nolan and the others had been waiting here for a long time, and when he looked sideways, he found that there were still people rowing a small boat on the lake.
"Long time no see, Huo! I have to say, the place you chose is amazing. Seeing Huo Yunting, Nolan smiled, opened his arms and gave him a big hug, and then looked at Liu Yifei beside him, "Who is this?" β
"My fiancΓ©e, Liu Yifei."
Liu Yifei was slightly stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.
Nolan was also stunned for a moment before he reacted.
To be honest, he felt that Huo Yunting was the oriental version of Leonardo, and he thought that he would be as bohemian as Leonardo in his private life, but he didn't expect to be engaged at such a young age.
"Hello, Miss Liu."
"Hello, Mr. Nolan."
"Please allow me to take the liberty of asking, Miss Liu, how long have you been with Huo?"
"It's been three or four years." Liu Yifei smiled warmly, and then added, "He and I are each other's first love." β
Now Nolan was completely shocked, he really called Leonardo over and asked him to listen to how people talk about feelings.
After saying hello, Nolan began to introduce the rest of the crew.
Nolan introduced the names one by one, and Huo Yunting and Liu Yifei also shook hands and said hello one by one.
Tom Hardy, Ellen Paige, Srian Murphy......
Liu Yifei silently chanted the names of these people in his heart, his eyes opened slightly, this cast is too luxurious.
An Oscar winner and an Oscar actress, as well as five Oscar nominees, this is indeed a full luxury lineup.
However, Huo Yunting didn't react much, because he had never heard of any of these names, and only when Leonardo was introduced, his eyelids twitched a few times.
"Huo, this is Leonardo DiCaprio."
He knows that his domestic nickname is Xiao Lizi, he has seen many Leonardo movies, and the most impressive is "Titanic", I have to say that he is really fucking handsome.
However, when his eyes focused on Leonardo, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
A middle-aged uncle with a slightly fat figure stretched out his hand to him with a bright smile on his face, "Hello, Mr. Huo, I know you." The Guinness record holder for thirteen punches in one second. β
Huo Yunting squinted his eyes for a long time before he could see a little similarity with Leonardo from the middle-aged man in front of him.
Although Westerners have a relatively short flowering period, Leonardo is also a little too short.
After introducing everyone, Nolan began to prepare to give a lecture, but before the talk, Huo Yunting dragged Nolan to whisper a few words.
"Mr. Nolan, was that Leonardo just now?"
Nolan nodded, "Is there a problem?" β
"How do I remember not looking like this? This one is a lot wider. β
Nolan was also speechless for a while, and thought for a long time before he held back a sentence, "Men always change ......"
Huo Yunting nodded in agreement, fortunately, he has always insisted on exercising, and his figure has not been out of shape for so many years.
After whispering, Nolan called Leonardo over and began to talk to the two.
In this scene, the two of them are the protagonists, and Huo Yunting has already memorized the script in his mind, and Nolan is slightly transparent and understands what he wants.
Just by virtue of being able to explain the requirements, he is eight streets stronger than Wang Jiawei.
Leonardo is also worthy of being a man who has rubbed shoulders with the Oscar actor many times, and his comprehension ability is no less than Huo Yunting, and he soon made an OK gesture towards Nolan Bi.
After finishing the play, Huo Yunting went to change clothes.
Nolan and Leonardo on the side glanced at each other and rubbed their shoulders and necks in unison.
"It's a troublesome scene this time. Leonardo muttered quietly, "How long do you think it's going to take?" β
"A morning?"
"Is Ken Watanabe bad?"
Nolan sighed helplessly, "I owe him a big favor, Leonardo, please be considerate of me this time." β
Huo Yunting's role is a little difficult, there are few lines, no expression, and it is not easy to perform the kind of sharpness from confusion to insight into everything in just a few seconds.
I have to admit that Huo Yunting was nominated for Best Actor in Cannes as a newcomer, but he was several years ago.
A few years have passed, and who knows if his acting skills have improved again or regressed?
"Well, I just hope that this kung fu master's acting skills are half as good as his."
Nolan shrugged, undeniable.
Looking at the clothes in the changing room, Huo Yunting frowned, it was either a Tang costume or a Hanfu, but Huo Yunting felt that it was strange how to wear it, and finally changed into a Mao suit at his strong request.
The screen, coffee table, wooden chopsticks, and porcelain in the house are very flavorful at a glance.
It's all arranged, and with Nolan's action, it officially begins.
The part where the main character, Cobb, wakes up on the beach, is filmed at the end, because it gets wet and is a bit of a hassle to dry out.
The first scene filmed was the rivalry between Cobb and Tang Ke.
"What is the most tenacious thing about parasitism in you? Is it a virus? Is it bacteria? Or intestinal worms? β
"What Mr. Cobb is trying to say isβ"
"One thought."
The fewer lines and the fewer expressions there are, the more difficult it is to play the character. Because there are very few opportunities for you to highlight the personality and characteristics of the characters, most of them rely on their eyes.
Huo Yunting silently ate the food on the table, listening to Leonardo who was sitting on the side talking.
It is worth mentioning that this meal is a standard state banquet, Huaiyang cuisine. I have to say that Nolan has really worked hard.
Listen to Leonardo talk about the Dream Thief, and listen to him say that he can protect his dreams...... The only response Huo Yunting made was to glance at him.
Then he buried his head and continued to eat.
βOKοΌ catοΌ β
With Nolan's excited shout, Huo Yunting swallowed the last piece of shrimp in his mouth, and Leonardo turned his head to look at him in unison.
"Over and over again! Huo, I don't think it's too much for you to be an actor in your acting skills. What did the Cannes judges think? β
This scene can be said to be the most difficult section, and the only shots left for Huo Yunting to play are a short one or two seconds of side eyes.
There were no lines, no expressions, just a simple look, but Nolan felt an indescribable power in it.
Huo Yunting didn't speak, just smiled faintly. This kind of look was learned from his fellow patient next door, Lao Wang, when he was in a psychiatric hospital.
After all, Lao Wang has always felt that he is Qin Shi Huang, and everyone is inferior to him. I vaguely remember that Lao Wang also offered to exchange the Tiger Talisman of the Founding General for half an apple with him.
Huo Yunting smiled indifferently, and Leonardo on the side looked a little embarrassed.
I didn't expect people to pass one.
Without giving Leonardo a chance to react, Nolan puffed up and continued to shoot the next one.
Most of the scenes at the beginning can be solved at the homestay in Pangong Lake, and the rest of the scenes that will appear together will be made up later in the film.
In less than a day's work, that is, around four o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Yunting was finished.
Originally, according to Nolan's expectations, it would take two days to shoot, but no one expected Huo Yunting's strength to be so energetic.
"Look down on people." Looking at Huo Yunting's back, Leonardo couldn't help but sigh.
"It's good that you take the time wasted on a woman's belly to hone and hone your acting skills."
Ignoring Nolan's teasing, Leonardo picked up the water gun and went to fight with the others.
Pangong Lake is indeed beautiful, so beautiful that this group of foreigners can't help but play, the only flaw is that it is now in winter, and the water is too cold.
Looking at Leonardo's appearance with sunglasses in his eyes and a water gun in his hand, Huo Yunting's eyelids twitched.
is already quite handsome, how can he become like this now.
When I was feeling sorry, my phone buzzed and vibrate.
"Hello? Which one are you? β
"Mr. Huo, it's me, Gavin Hood!"
"Gavin Hood? Who are youβOh, long time no see, Mr. Gavin. What's the matter? Huo Yunting slapped his head and recalled who this was, the director of "Wolverine".
As the old saying goes, nothing will go to the Three Treasures Palace. Gavin Hood suddenly called today, and I don't know if it's good or bad.
"Of course, and it's a good thing."
Meddlesome?
Huo Yunting thought about it, could it be that which boss in Hollywood saw that their Huo family class had a good foundation and wanted to ask them to do it?
"Mr. Gavin, don't sell it, just say it."
"At the 19th MTV Television Awards, Wolverine was nominated for Best Fight Scene."
"What about the new book?"
"It's still in preparation."
"Is the heroine decided?!"
"Uh... β¦ Not yet. β
"Then why don't you write me!"
"You're my girlfriend, you let me write you!?"
"I'll double the manuscript fee for you!"
"What style of male protagonist do you want?"
