Zhang Yuanjun's return to China this time was very full, and he attended the premiere and dinner in the magic capital the night before, and appeared at Louis Vuitton's fashion event in the capital the next morning.

In the afternoon of the same day, he appeared at the airport and was ready to fly to the United States.

Waiting for the plane at the airport, I also did an interview.

"When I went to Los Angeles, I filmed part of it in San Francisco before, I went back to Los Angeles to train, and there was a big action scene to shoot later, so I got used to the venue first."

The action scene that Zhang Yuanjun said was a scene where Arthur fought against the villain in the corridor of the hotel in his dreams.

The difficulty of this scene is the weightlessness, because this scene is in a dream, and the owner of the dream is in the back seat of a truck that tells it to move at this time, so the whole scene has a sense of weightlessness, and even turns upside down.

In order to restore this scene, Nolan made a huge hollow cylinder rotating steel frame, and built the scene of the corridor inside the steel frame.

Driven by the machine, the entire column rotates along the corridor.

Zhang Yuanjun had to undergo 1-2 weeks of training before filming this scene to get used to this strange machine and fighting movements.

The reporter asked him again: "After filming in the United States for half a month, what is the biggest feeling?" ”

It may be that Zhang Yuanjun is too sensitive, and he feels that the reporter wants to guide him to say that there is a gap between Chinese and American crews.

So Zhang Yuanjun chose to answer conservatively: "The biggest feeling is to admire the imagination of the director and the behind-the-scenes staff." I've also filmed a lot of scenes, but in the crew of "Inception", I still admire their imagination when I see them trying to do something weird to restore the shot. ”

The reporter simply stopped pretending: "Then what do you think is the biggest difference between filming in China and filming in the United States?" ”

Zhang Yuanjun was not fooled at all: "The biggest difference is that one speaks Chinese and the other speaks English." ”

The discerning person had already seen that Zhang Yuanjun was impatient, and Xiao Zhao immediately came over to set up the reporter: "I'm sorry, Yuanjun is very tired these days, let's be quiet for a while, okay." ”

The journalist couldn't and had to leave.

Not long after, the two flew to the United States.

The crew gave Zhang Yuanjun a maximum of 2 weeks of training time, but a week later, Zhang Yuanjun said that he could shoot.

Nolan, who is far away in San Francisco, doesn't believe it, but Zhang's action director says: "Zhang's training is very good, and I think he's ready for filming." ”

So, two days later, Nolan returned to Los Angeles with the crew from San Francisco to start filming this major action scene.

Although Zhang Yuanjun is not a professional action actor, he has also filmed several action scenes, especially "Lone Agent", in which Zhang Yuanjun received strict action training, and was involved in sanda, fighting, firearms and daggers.

After the movie was completed, Zhang Yuanjun also often hit sandbags, and he found that occasionally hitting things to vent violence was very decompressive.

Therefore, Zhang Yuanjun's movements are very beautiful, whether it is fists and kicks or necessary firearms, he can play well.

Even Nolan exclaimed: "You really only trained for a week? ”

Zhang Yuanjun said: "My last play was a spy action movie, and I trained for 3 months for that play, so I ......" Zhang Yuanjun shrugged.

Nolan nodded: "No wonder. ”

Zhang Yuanjun's abundant physical fitness and beautiful and skillful movements saved Nolan a lot of time, and the scene was filmed in 2 days, and it took another 3 days to finish filming the weightless scene in the same scene.

"it!" Zhang Yuanjun and Nolan watched the real shooting effect together and exclaimed.

Nolan glanced sideways at him, unable to understand what he was saying, but confused.

In the Los Angeles studio, Saito's castle scene will also be filmed, this scene is not Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei, it is Leon's one-man show.

Through the contact for more than half a month, Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei both found that Leonardo has a characteristic, or rather, big stars more or less have this trait.

Close but not intimate, warm with obvious estrangement, you can feel that you can't be close to him, that you are just a colleague with him.

Liu Yifei is close to Leon, but she can clearly feel that Leon doesn't want to "be friends" with her.

Liu Yifei and Zhang Yuanjun also feel this way when dealing with fans and other co-actors.

In general, it is a sense of alienation from the outside world of a big star.

In the past few days, they have been filming Leon, Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei have not been idle, and they go to the studio every day to watch the crew work.

The point is that they want to see the flooding.

Finally, on the fifth day, the drama was about to begin.

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei didn't watch on the monitor, but together with the staff, they entered the set in raincoats and stood next to Leonardo's camera three steps away.

Nolan was also on set, and the monitors were controlled by the executive director and assistant director.

Before the flooding, this Japanese-style villa still needs to "collapse".

Everyone hopes that this scene can be done all over again, otherwise it will be troublesome and laborious to rebuild this villa.

“3 2 1，Action！”

The villa began to collapse, and bricks, planks, and slag fell down.

Leon starts his show with a gun.

The angle at which all objects collapse is precisely calculated, and the materials are made of lightweight materials, so even if they hit people, they will not be injured.

Zhang Yuanjun and Nolan followed the cameraman's lens together, running with Leon on the set.

The executive director shouted a click, and the villa stopped "collapsing", Leon stood in the ruins, and Nolan stepped forward to talk to him, telling him to slow down, so that the camera could capture the collapse of the entire villa.

Leon nodded in understanding, and Nolan motioned for another shot from the middle.

The shoot went well, and Leon successfully completed the shootout shot, standing at the top of the staircase.

Looking at the empty vestibule of the villa in a daze, he felt that something was about to happen.

Suddenly, a huge stream of water shoots out from the windows - in the play, Leonardo is pushed off the bathtub and forced to wake up from his dream.

5,000 gallons of water pass through 26 tanks and rush from the windows to the interior.

Really watching the shooting on the set is more shocking than watching it on the monitor than watching it in the theater.

But knowing his shooting techniques, it's a little uncomfortable.

"it!" Zhang Yuanjun scolded again, and Liu Yifei beat him.

Nolan was very satisfied with the scene, watched the replay, and announced it.

Nolan then asked Zhang Yuanjun a question: "What do you mean by?" "Nolan really doesn't like that.

Liu Yifei slapped Zhang Yuanjun again and said in Mandarin: "Tell you not to swear, you see what you taught." ”

Zhang Yuanjun said: "You can't blame me, when I saw that scene, I couldn't think of anything else except that word, otherwise I wouldn't be a good word when I said Niubi." ”

Nolan said: "I've seen you say this word a lot on the set these days, what does it mean? ”

Liu Yifei didn't allow Zhang Yuanjun to teach Nolan the word, and said to Nolan: "This is a dirty word." ”

Zhang Yuanjun disagreed: "How is this a dirty word." "Turning to Nolan and explaining," the word is a universal word in Chinese.

"It can be expressed as surprise, which is equivalent to oh my god.

"It can also be a swear word, equivalent to shit and f**k."

Zhang Yuanjun patiently taught Nolan how to pronounce it, and it was always easier to learn than a cow.

Jiang Wen can teach Quentin Niubi, and Zhang Yuanjun can teach Nolan to say what's wrong with the groove.

Liu Yifei couldn't help it, watching the two of them talk one by one, only thinking that these two people were sick. (End of chapter)
