Chapter 300: Shooting

Zhang Yuanjun was even absent from the promotion of his Sino-American co-production "Source Code", and if he didn't come to "Love Has an Afterlife", Yu Feihong really didn't say anything at all.

But on August 26, Zhang Yuanjun still appeared at the premiere of the movie in Beijing.

Zhang Yuanjun's "airborne" really surprised Yu Feihong, and even explained to the media: "I said I couldn't come back yesterday, but I didn't expect ......"

Zhang Yuanjun said: "It was Mr. Qin who asked me to keep it secret and give you a surprise." ”

The main controlling investor of "Love Has an Afterlife" is Xingmei International.

"It was a real surprise." Yu Feihong hugged Zhang Yuanjun with tears in his eyes.

At the scene, Zhang Yuanjun said frankly: "I also had love in my previous movies, but "Love Has an Afterlife" is my first love-themed movie, and my biggest wish now is to watch "Love Has an Afterlife" in the cinema with the audience and be moved with them." ”

On the day of the premiere, Lu Chuan chatted with Zhang Yuanjun several times, according to Lu Chuan: "I have always wanted to cooperate with Zhang Yuanjun, my "Nanjing!" Nanking! I invited him, but I missed it because of the schedule, so I met him today and told him about some cooperation, hoping to make progress. ”

can not refute Lu Chuan's face in public, Zhang Yuanjun also said: "Director Lu Chuan is also a director I have always wanted to work with, if there is a suitable movie, of course, I must try my best to promote cooperation." ”

The film was not screened at the premiere of "Love Has an Afterlife", and in the interview after the ceremony, Zhang Yuanjun was asked: "How do you feel about the 20 days after the release of "Source Code" and the box office exceeded 200 million?" ”

The reporter tacitly did not mention the American market, Lionsgate mobilized 319 theaters to screen "Source Code" on the first day of the United States, no way, the faculties are not interested in Chinese science fiction films at all, these 300 or so are already the limit.

Zhang Yuanjun said: "I am filming abroad, but I want my assistant to always pay attention to the domestic market, so I have always known the box office of "Source Code", I learned that "Source Code" has 210 million before I got on the plane yesterday, right, I am very happy, thank you very much for the support of the audience and friends." ”

"Can the success of "Source Code" be said to be the success of Chinese science fiction, and will more science fiction movies be made in the future?"

Zhang Yuanjun answered the previous one first and gave a negative answer: "Source Code" is not representative, its success is not the success of domestic science fiction, and domestic science fiction still has a very long way to go. ”

Science fiction is the pearl of the film industry, and now China does not have the environment and strength to do science fiction.

Then answer the second question: "If there is a good script, I want to act in any genre, not only science fiction, I also want to act in domestic fantasy movies." ”

"Do you still have a job schedule when you come back from Inception?"

"There is still a drama to be entered into the group, and it will be filmed until the beginning of next year."

"Snow Leopard" is scheduled to start shooting in November, and Mango Channel is already preparing to attract investment.

Zhang Yuanjun + Tang Yan, both of them are super popular now, and Mango Terrace is lying down to attract investment and money.

Of course, two super popular people mean super high salaries, which is another matter, anyway, it is the investor's money that is spent.

After the premiere of "Love Has an Afterlife", Zhang Yuanjun wanted to go home to rest, but he couldn't get his wish.

Xiao Zhao made an appointment for him to have supper with Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng and his wife.

"What's the matter with me?" Zhang Yuanjun asked in the car.

"That sequel to "New Dragon Gate Inn", forgot?"

Zhang Yuanjun reacted at this time: "That, there's news?" ”

"Xu Class finished "Di Renjie" and started to do this play, there is already news in the circle, we will go to have supper today, and we will also arrange a draft."

"Okay."

At noon the next day, Zhang Yuanjun was still on the plane to Paris, and the domestic press release came out.

"Zhang Yuanjun parachuted into the premiere of "Love Has an Afterlife" and admitted that he was moved by Yu Feihong's directorial spirit.

Lu Chuan: I want to cooperate with Zhang Yuanjun the most. Zhang Yuanjun: Try your best to promote and adjust the schedule. ”

Yesterday, "Love Has an Afterlife" held a grand premiere in Beijing, and the actor Zhang Yuanjun flew back to Beijing from Paris, giving the crew a big surprise. After the premiere, the reporter photographed Zhang Yuanjun did not go back to his home in Dongshan Villa, but went to an ordinary hotel for supper, to the reporter's surprise, not long after Zhang Yuanjun entered the store, Director Xu Jiao, who had just finished "Di Renjie", also arrived at the hotel, and an hour and a half later, the two shook hands at the door of the hotel and said goodbye. After director Xu Ke finished "Di Renjie", it was rumored that the next movie would be a martial arts action movie, and this time he met with Zhang Yuanjun, or finalized the schedule in advance.

"There have been rumors in the industry about director Xu Ke's new film, but there is no definite news."

…………

Zhang Yuanjun's scenes in Paris are very scattered, the kind of filming for one day and two days, but Liu Yifei has a lot of scenes in Paris.

Early this morning, Liu Yifei was going to shoot the scene where she and Leonardo entered the dream world together, which was a blasting scene.

Cobb, played by Leonardo, took Adrian, played by Liu Yifei, to feel the collapse of the dream for the first time.

This time the dream collapsed, and Nolan chose a different way to deal with it than the flooded mansion in Los Angeles - blasting!

Zhang Yuanjun was worried about Liu Yifei and came to the scene to watch.

According to special effects director Chris Kobaud, the angles of the blasts are rigorously calculated so that flying objects do not hit two actors.

The crew filmed this scene on a street in the center of Paris.

In Nolan's script, because the scene takes place in a dream, the blast can't show any real fire and smoke, which is already difficult to do.

But the authorities in Paris demanded that the sound of the blasting scene should not exceed 104 decibels.

The crew had to prepare a large number of lightweight simulation props for this purpose, such as fake fruits, rubber glass, and so on.

The shooting plan for this blasting scene is to use air pressure cannons and high-pressure nitrogen to launch props out, causing the effect of urban collapse.

In fact, this scene was tested several times in the studio in Los Angeles, and Leonardo and Liu Yifei both went into battle in person, and they were indeed not injured.

But today's real shooting, Zhang Yuanjun is still very nervous.

Nolan communicated with the actors and the camera on the set about the shooting, and after a while, Nolan walked away and made an OK gesture.

Before the blasting scene, Liu Yifei and Leonardo had already finished filming the literary drama, and today they are mainly filming the blasting scene.

β€œaction!” Both Nolan and Zhang Yuanjun stood by the monitor watching the midfield.

I can only hear a bang in the middle of the field!

Cars and motorcycles on the side of the road were pulled down, windows were shattered, and pieces of paper, wooden boards, fruits, tables and chairs were in chaos.

This shot was shot in less than 5 seconds, but it will be handed over to the special effects crew to do it again later, making the scene bigger and more shocking - Nolan is crazy but not so crazy that he really blew up the center of Paris, and he still has to rely on the special effects crew.

Nolan was not satisfied the first time, and organized the crew to shoot two more times - each time the preparation time was more than 2 hours - before letting Leonardo and Liu Yifei go.

"It's not hurt, is it?" Zhang Yuanjun asked.

"No, it's safe, it's just that the hair blown by the air cannon is a little messy." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

After a day's shooting, the two went back to the hotel to rest, Liu Yifei lay in Zhang Yuanjun's arms and slept soundly, while Zhang Yuanjun couldn't sleep with his eyes open, not knowing what he was thinking. (End of chapter)
