The two slept well on the plane, and when they landed in Los Angeles, it was noon local time, so there was no need to travel jet lag.

Eddie sent a car to pick them up, and before getting into the car, Zhang Yuanjun also met Lu Chuan and his party, Lu Chuan said that he had time to go to the crew to see them, and the two teams broke up.

The next day, Zhang and Liu came to the studio of Warner Bros. Studios and met Nolan.

Nolan was the quintessential English gentleman, even when he worked in the studio, he wore a shirt and meticulously combed hair, but he didn't wear a tie.

"Zhang, Crystal, welcome to Inception. Zhang, I've seen "Detachment" and your performance is amazing. ”

"Detachment" was not released in the United States or the United Kingdom, and he may have seen the English subtitled version at a film festival.

"Miss Crystal, your King of Kung Fu is equally impressive." Zhang Yuanjun doubted that if there were more than two people here today, Nolan would praise everyone.

The two sides greeted each other, and Nolan immediately took them on a tour of the studio, where the film's luxurious Japanese castle in Saito would be built.

Zhang Yuanjun also saw a high-pressure water pump placed in each window of the castle.

Liu Yifei asked Nolan: "What are these tank pumps for?" ”

Nolan explains: "We have a scene where the water washes away the castle, and these pumps are controlled by the mechanism and the water is poured out and the castle is flooded. ”

I have long heard that Nolan is a real shooting maniac, and you can know a little bit about this, and he is really trying to find a way to shoot as much as possible.

After spending the whole morning in the studio, several people agreed that they would still be in the studio on the 10th, and Leonardo and the other main actors would come over, and the crew would have a script reading meeting.

To put it mildly, not only Liu Yifei, "Inception" is also the biggest crew Zhang Yuanjun has ever been.

With a budget of $160 million, Nolan has a terrifying amount of resources at his disposal, and he can use the latest and most advanced technology to accomplish his vision.

Some of Nolan's equipment and shooting techniques, Zhang Yuanjun is also the first time to see it.

The two returned to the hotel suite that the crew had booked for them, and the two invariably took out the script to refamiliarize themselves with the lines.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Liu Yifei also said: "Aren't you familiar with it." ”

Zhang Yuanjun stiffened: "I look at my opponent's lines, I'm afraid that they will affect me." ”

"Burn the bun." Liu Yifei ignored him.

During the period before the official start, Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei spent the rest of their time playing in addition to familiarizing themselves with the script again.

Now that the two are public, there is no need to hide it anymore, even if the reporter who followed him in China took a photo.

So in the past few days, the reports sent by Los Angeles reporters back home are the Los Angeles travel diaries of the two of them.

Where did you go today, what you ate, what you played.

The next day I went shopping in Beverly Hills, and Liu Yifei bought a bag for her assistant and Zhang Yuanjun's assistant.

On the third day, they went to Wolfgang Parker's restaurant to taste the Oscar-winning chef's skills.

Zhang Yuanjun also warmly invited reporters from China to have dinner with him.

Zhang Yuanjun introduced to the reporters at the same table: "Since 95, the Oscar dinner has been chef Parker, and everyone can try it. ”

The reporter who followed me on Weibo asked with a smile: "Cannes also won, is it time to win the Oscar next?" ”

Zhang Yuanjun said: "I would like to, but this kind of opportunity may not be encountered in a lifetime." ”

Compared with the Oscars, Zhang Yuanjun is more willing to continue to impact the three major in Europe.

Zhang Yuanjun poured a glass of champagne for the reporter sitting next to him: "It's okay to drink some, you are tired of running news abroad." ”

"Yuan Jun, how long will "Inception" be filmed?"

"I'm going to shoot it until October. I went to several countries, and I had to go to Africa. ”

"What about the domestic "Source Code"?" "Source Code" has been scheduled to be released on August 7.

"I will go back to the premiere, run for two days to promote, and then I will rush back." Zhang Yuanjun said.

"The incident is very tight, you have another "Love Has an Afterlife" behind you."

"Is "Love Has an Afterlife" finalized?" Zhang Yuanjun asked, others are abroad, and some domestic news may not be so well-informed.

"It's settled, in September, it was said that there was a problem with the copy, and it had to be rewashed." The news was only released at this time.

"That's a pity, I'll try to go back to the premiere." Zhang Yuanjun is also very helpless about this film.

"That's it, this summer, you dominate the screen." The reporter laughed.

Isn't it, from 7 to 9 months, Zhang Yuanjun has films released every month.

"I heard that you also signed a Mango TV series later, is it true?"

"Hmm."

"Many film actors will be very cautious when filming TV series, especially if you have just won the Cannes Best Actor."

Zhang Yuanjun chewed slowly and replied: "I didn't think about it so much, I shot it when I saw a good script, I didn't think about whether it was a TV series or a movie, and I haven't acted in a TV series for a long time." ”

"Then your itinerary is very full this year, ...... shooting?"

Zhang Yuanjun counted in his mind and said, "Two movies, one TV series later." ”

"Aren't you tired?"

"I'm not tired." Zhang Yuanjun said, "I played very happily. ”

Zhang Yuanjun's answer was something that the reporter didn't expect, filming three dramas a year, running all over the world, and actually saying that he was very happy.

Looking at the reporter's expression, Zhang Yuanjun said: "Don't you see that I have been resting for more than a month since I came back from Cannes, but I am not very tired." If I really want to turn at full capacity, I can shoot from the first day of the new year to the thirty nights. ”

"I think the same batch of actors as you are almost like this, I can't wait to live on the set and shoot five or six dramas a year."

"That's really tiring." Zhang Yuanjun doesn't agree with this work model, but he understands it very well, because other actors don't have such favorable conditions as him, he can refuse, but it is difficult for others, and in the initial stage of his career, it is difficult to say, no matter what kind of film, he has to keep filming and acting, so that he can have a chance to get ahead.

"Neither Yifei nor I are the kind of people who would fill our lives with work." Zhang Yuanjun led the topic to Liu Yifei.

Sure enough, the reporter asked Liu Yifei: "Yifei filmed this year?" ”

"Plus these two plays."

"Will you join the group again this year?"

"I can't tell you this."

"Is that there?" How could a reporter listen to her.

Liu Yifei smiled: "I didn't say it, don't write it when you go back." ”

There are not ten or eight books looking for Liu Yifei, and she is also picking now, but she is indeed not sure whether she will enter the group after "Inception".

The guests enjoyed the meal, the reporters ate and drank, and indirectly did an interview between the two, and there was something to write when they went back.

Please make more of this kind of business trip.

Of course, the two of them are in Los Angeles, and the time before the start of the film is not all eating, drinking, and having fun.

Zhang Yuanjun's Z Studio also has a lot of work to deal with him, and Zhang Yuanjun has been quite busy these days.

On the 10th, the two met all the leading actors of "Inception" in the studio, Liu Yifei put aside her boyfriend and asked Leon for a group photo and a conversation, which was very happy.

Then he posted a photo of himself and Leon on Weibo, and his boyfriend Zhang Yuanjun sat in the corner of the photo, like a minion.
