After Liu Yifei left with the staff, Sun Yi didn't have much interest in staying, and wanted to smoke a cigarette to relax, but after looking around, he couldn't find a smoking room, and finally reluctantly gave up this idea.

What he didn't know was that Nolan, the stubborn director himself, did not smoke, and at the same time did not allow anyone in his crew and office to smoke.

Sun Yi just waited with Liu Yifei in the reception hall, he walked into the office area, after realizing that it was rude to do so, Sun Yi wanted to go back the same way, but the sudden appearance of the exhibition hall attracted his attention.

The exhibition hall is semi-open, with a row of specially made glass display cases along the corridor.

Inside there are posters of director Nolan's films from the first film to the present, as well as some shooting commemorative props, as well as award trophies.

From his first film "Following" shot by himself in 96, as well as the first Hollywood theatrical film "Fragments of Memory", to the later "Deadly Magic" and the Grandpa Vane series.

Although the quantity is small, the quality is very high.

4 theatrical films, three of which have entered the global film and television TOP250.

His current status in Hollywood, if not as good as the ultimate directors like Truck Driver and Spielberg, is not much different.

Sun Yi knows that when his "Inception" comes out, it will establish his status as a world-class director.

Speaking of which, there is some envy.

I don't know, when will we be able to mix in the first place in Tianjin!

Sun Yi followed the showcase, and unconsciously came to the end of the corridor, and just wanted to turn around, he saw a tall figure around the corner, standing by the window and looking at the city street outside.

Driven by curiosity, Sun Yi leaned sideways and probed the probe.

A short blond hair, neatly combed, the only regret is that the hairline is a little anxious, the thick eyebrows are twisted into a "Chuan" word, and the lips are still squirming.

This middle-aged and handsome guy in England looks like Nolan?

Still muttering something?

Sun Yi thought for a moment and walked closer.

"The City of Dreams Shocking Display"

A few words that were half-formed, Sun Yi thought about it for a while.

Do you want to show the earthquake of the city in your dreams through the lens?

It should be.

Tentatively asked:

"Do you want to try to subvert the rules of physics?"

"Subverting the rules of physics?"

Nolan's brows relaxed slightly, but then he wrinkled back again, his eyes still staring out the window, and continued:

"I've thought about this, but how to subvert it is the key."

Sun Yi raised his eyebrows, it was really Nolan, and it was obvious that he was trapped by the problems in the movie at the moment.

Taking two steps forward, also close to the window, Sun Yi looked at the city outside, hugged his shoulders and said easily:

"How to subvert? How about letting people walk in the sky and cars driving in the sky? ”

As soon as the words fell, Director Nolan's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at Sun Yi with a little shock, obviously moved by his idea, but then frowned and shook his head in denial

"That's not going to work, it's a bit excessive, it's magic, even dreams have to be based on certain rules."

Sun Yi nodded, pondered for a moment, and then smiled confidently.

"It's easy."

As he spoke, he raised a palm to the street outside the window, then slowly fell, turned his head to Nolan and said lightly: "How about stacking the city, for example?" ”

"Stacked up?"

“yep。”

Nolan's pupils were slightly out of focus, obviously building something in his mind, and then his eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he slapped his hands and exclaimed loudly:

"oh~my, this is a genius idea, as long as the city is stacked, then from below, the people and cars on the street are flying in the sky!"

Sun Yi nodded with a smile, "That's right." ”

Director Nolan asked Sun Yi with a look of surprise: "Thank you very much, how did you come up with it, it is so in line with my movie." “

Sun Yi chuckled lightly and raised his right hand, "Hello, Director Nolan, officially acquaintance, my name is Sun Yi, I am a Chinese director, and I am also one of the investors of this film, I have read the project script, as a director, I subconsciously thought about how to shoot in my mind, and now it seems that it has helped you?" ”

"Sun ~ Yi, oh, I know, you are the Chinese investor introduced by Thomas. Chinese director? I would venture to ask, are "Shelter" and "Untouchable" your works? ”

"Yes."

Nolan shook Sun Yi's hand with a look of surprise, and when he heard Sun Yi admit, the smile on his face was even better, and at the same time laughed:

"Haha, I just knew, it turns out that you are the same person, I have seen these two films, they are very good, very distinctive, your creativity just now really inspired me a lot."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"No, no, please don't be polite, your idea really helped me a lot, you don't know, because of this problem, I haven't slept well for a long time."

Sun Yi smiled heartily and said, "Haha, then I hope you can have a good dream tonight." ”

"Haha, of course, by the way, why did you come to me today, do you want to know about the progress of the project?"

Hearing this, Sun Yi's expression was stunned.

Your sister's!

After making trouble for a long time, I took Xiao Nizi to participate in the audition, and I forgot about it at all.

"No, I'm here with my girlfriend today, who came to audition for the role of Dream Builder."

Hearing this, Nolan was a little puzzled, and remembered it for a long time before remembering.

"Oh, it's Miss Crystal, the Oriental actress?"

"Yes, she's my girlfriend."

"I remember, Thomas told me. Oh shit, auditions. Nolan remembered that he had an audition assignment today, raised his watch and looked at it, and immediately apologized to Sun Yi:

"I'm sorry, Director Sun, I have to accompany me, I still have an audition task to participate, it's been delayed for a long time, I hate wasting other people's time, but sometimes I forget everything when I think about things in my head, damn it."

Sun Yi nodded lightly and replied, "It's okay, I don't think my girlfriend will feel that it has been delayed for a long time." ”

After saying that, Director Nolan strode out, didn't take two steps, and turned back.

"Excuse me, Director Sun, do you have time, I don't know if I can talk to you after the audition."

Sun Yi pretended to think about it, nodded and said, "It's an honor." ”

This time Nolan is really gone, and Sun Yi didn't expect that the first meeting with director Nolan was in this situation, and by chance he helped him solve a big problem.

Although it won't be long before he can figure it out himself, but after all, if he thinks about it early, he will be able to stabilize the extinct hairline as soon as possible, and it will be a favor no matter how you say it, I hope he is good enough, otherwise I will have to reason with him at that time.

You don't want Interstellar anymore.

After Liu Yifei followed the staff inside, it was directly a small room, Emily Blunt and Keira Knightley were also here, and there was no agent by her side.

The three of them greeted each other amicably, no matter how fierce the competition in the entertainment industry is, the harmony on the face is still very necessary, besides, Liu Yifei is obviously in a weak position among the three at the moment, and in the eyes of the other two, she doesn't think she is a big competitor, she just feels like a licking head.

The staff gave each person a small card, which is the content of today's audition, a total of two paragraphs, both of which are rival scenes with the male protagonist, that is, Xiao Lizi.

The first paragraph is the hero's wipe of the dream builder joining the team, asking to draw a maze within ten numbers that can stump him for a minute.

The main thing examined in this scene is the basic skills of acting.

It took a total of three times for the dream builder.,From the first time it was a little boring.,It's very casual.,The maze drawn made the male master crack it in a few seconds.。 The next day,I felt a little difficult.,Began to become solemn.,But it's still cracked.,And was ridiculed by the male owner.,The third time,The momentum of not admitting defeat burst out.,Slapped the male owner's face hard.,Draw a maze that amazed him.。

Here to highlight the dream builder's thinking creativity, as well as the character of not admitting defeat, in the performance to use three different emotions and expressions, although the requirements for acting skills are not harsh, do not need any flash of inspiration, but the requirements for basic skills are also very high.

The second scene is the first time that the male protagonist takes the dream builder into the dream world, and the dialogues and lines here are mainly to introduce the rules of the entire dream world and the method of building dreams, there is nothing difficult about this performance, as long as it is properly coordinated with the male protagonist.

The three of them each prepared for a while, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't see the staff say that they would start the audition, until the biggest name, Keira Knightley, was a little irritable, knocked on the door first, found the staff, and asked about the specific situation. But after learning that it was Director Nolan who was delayed, he honestly sat back in place.

After waiting for a while, the audition officially began.

The first one is Emily Blunt, she auditioned for about 10 minutes, and when she came out, she was expressionless, not happy or sad, so that people couldn't see a clue.

Keira Knightley took a little longer, close to 20 minutes, and when she came out, she smiled and nodded encouragingly in front of Liu Yifei, as if she had been officially selected.

In fact, this is a strategy to disturb the minds of those who come after them and make them play abnormally.

To be reasonable, with Keira Knightley's current status, there is no need to do this, but it is clear that director Nolan did not leave her any substantive commitment in the audition just now, so she used this method.

Liu Yifei was obviously inexperienced in the face of such a world-wide project, and the psychological state that was originally adjusted by Sun Yi's gag was affected again.

But there is no time to adjust now, so I can only walk in.

"Leo, thank you for taking the time to audition today."

"Christopher, it doesn't have to be this way, the Dream Builder character is one of the actors who play against me the most, it's important for the whole film, and I want to find the best partner."

As soon as Liu Yifei entered, she saw Director Nolan talking to Xiao Lizi, and after seeing her, she greeted her with a smile.

"Welcome, Miss Crystal, I'm looking forward to your next performance, let's get started, I'd like to have a good chat with Director Sun Yi as soon as possible."

Huh? Brother?

I heard it right, I heard my brother's name from Director Nolan.

Liu Yifei was a little puzzled, but looking at Nolan's expression, it didn't seem to be fake, but smiled very sincerely, and her heart settled down a little.

Believe my brother, there must be no problem.

As for this little plum, that's it, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Compared with her husband, she is still so short, with a beard and a small belly, her figure is obviously a little fat, how can her husband be so strong and brave, people are embarrassed to say it.

Well, in all respects, it can't be compared.

Phew, fine dog~

Hey, where did you see this word?

Forget it, get ready for the audition.

Liu Yifei's eyes were clear, she looked at Xiao Lizi, nodded and smiled: "Mr. Leonardo, I can do it." ”

"Okay, let's get started."

"Don't ask me why I found you, first you need to pass a quiz, otherwise you don't have the right to know anything, give you ten seconds, draw a maze out and trap me for at least 1 minute."

Liu Yifei was a little puzzled, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she drew a maze very casually.

"Fail, second chance."

Seeing that the maze she drew didn't stay in the other party's hands for three seconds, Liu Yifei's eyes became more serious and drew one again.

"It's still not enough, one last chance, it seems that I made the wrong choice to come over today."

Looking at the picture book that was called back again, Liu Yifei's eyes were a little angry, and she stubbornly looked directly into Xiao Lizi's eyes.

"You only have ten seconds."

Liu Yifei's lips moved slightly, although her heart was full of anger, she did not lose her cool at all, and after thinking about it for two seconds, she quickly drew a picture again.

"It's still like this, and today is not in vain."

Xiao Lizi finally praised her, but Liu Yifei was not happy, but the corners of her mouth twitched disdainfully, and she didn't take it to heart at all.

"Ok, great show."

"So are you."

The first scene ended smoothly, and Nolan also nodded secretly in the back.

The Miss Crystal in front of her has no problem with her performance.

The second paragraph is even simpler, and it doesn't take long for it to end.

When Liu Yifei walked out of the audition room, she remembered to look at the time, it didn't matter, she was blinded directly, she was the fastest, and she didn't even use it for ten minutes, at this time, the confidence just now suddenly dissipated and became apprehensive.

It's over, isn't it going to be eliminated?

Just when Liu Yifei was pouting and suffering from gains and losses, Sun Yi's voice suddenly appeared in his ears.

"Yo, what's going on?"

When Liu Yifei saw Sun Yi, she suddenly became even more aggrieved, grabbed the hem of her blouse, pouted, and said:

"Brother, I can't seem to act anymore."

"Why do you say that?"

"I auditioned the fastest, I was done in one go, I didn't use it for ten minutes, and I didn't say anything about the rest."

"Oh, oh."

"If I don't make it, won't you be disappointed?"

"Ha, how is it possible, besides, whoever said that the audition time is short, it must mean that he has been eliminated."

"That"

Liu Yifei was about to speak, but was interrupted by a staff member.

"Director Sun, Miss Crystal, and Director Nolan are waiting for you in the office."

Liu Yifei's eyes are full of big question marks.

When he came to Nolan's office, this man was extremely hot, and he personally served coffee and took Sun Yi's hand to give up his seat, how could there be an outsider's serious stubbornness and arrogance British.

The two didn't use any opening remarks, and they started chatting about "Inception".

From the shooting technique to the use of the lens, it also involved the deployment of the crew.

"I love IMAX70mm film, I love it, and my dream is to one day shoot a real IMAX feature film with it."

"Of course, Christo, no one doesn't like it, it has a high image quality that digital shooting can't match, a wider color gamut, a larger dynamic range, very suitable for large-scale high-definition shooting, but the requirements for the playback equipment of the film are very high."

Nolan is a fan of IMAX film, especially IMAX 70mm film.

But it's not just about getting bigger.

IMAX includes a series of systems such as IMAX cinema, IMAX movie format, and IMAX movie projector.

A real IMAX movie needs to be shot with an IMAX camera from the beginning of production and shown in an IMAX theater to get the experience that is closest to the director's idea.

Take his favorite IMAX70mm film as an example, its negative size is 48.5mm×22mm, the scanning resolution is about 12K, which is about equal to more than 20 1080P screens covering the same size screen, and now Hollywood has just popularized 4K, just 4 1080P screens are covered with the effect, and the domestic side is still the 2K standard.

The exponential increase in image information has led to more stringent shooting restrictions.

I can only sigh here, Nolan is really an out-and-out film technology stubborn.

As a director, Sun Yi also wants to play the most high-end, but he doesn't allow it in the domestic environment, there are not a few IMAX screens in total, and more than half of them are still in the Science and Technology Palace to show the great discovery of the universe to children, how can it be his turn to play movies.

Sun Yi and Nolan talked until afternoon tea, and Nolan took the two to another place to continue chatting.

One piece in the east, one piece in the west, talked about everything, and finally asked meaningfully:

"I heard that Miss Crystal is also an action actress?"

Liu Yifei looked at Sun Yi, and then nodded lightly.

"So, don't you object to me adding some action scenes to the role of Dream Builder in the movie, after all, a group of men are fighting around, where are beautiful women playing good!"
