At the end of May, "Tenet" officially started shooting at Warner Studio Studio 23. The first scene was a fight in the hallway between the protagonist played by Lee Hyuk and his reverse self.
For this scene, he trained with an action actor of similar size for half a month, and it was time to witness the results. Before the filming started, director Nolan and Li He took a group photo, and assistant Yuanyuan sent it to
On Weibo and Li Hyuk’s personal Twitter.
"This is my second collaboration with director Nolan. This time I am the protagonist. I feel a lot of pressure. I look forward to giving everyone a wonderful performance..."
In the photo, Li Hyuk and Nolan were standing together in suits and ties, giving the impression of a male duo. The photo also attracted heated discussion among fans, and Power Studio even bought hot searches for it, successfully grabbing the headlines.
From this point of view, Li Hyuk is no different from those popular celebrities. They are both masters of creating topics and hype, and they are also good at buying headlines. As the black people say, posting photos can make headlines. In the entertainment industry,
They're like birds of a feather.
The majority of passers-by and netizens are not too impressed. After all, they have seen it a lot in the past few years, and it is better for Li Hyuk to buy headlines than for those with low traffic to buy headlines. At least Li Hyuk has works.
The public is always very tolerant of actors who have works. As long as it is not a big mistake, they don't care about the trivial matter of buying hot searches for hype. However, people are not so polite when it comes to popular stars buying hot searches, and there are countless people who abuse and ridicule them.
However, traffic users all have fans to control their comments, so the bottom of Weibo is full of rainbow farts from fans, which cannot be viewed at all.
Warner Pictures, the distributor of "Tenet", has also begun to promote the film in the early stage. One of the easier things to do is that Li Hyuk has a certain popularity base in North America. He still hasn't eaten up the original capital of "La La Land".
End. Therefore, the protagonist is Li He, which did not arouse violent reactions from other groups except Uncle Black. Many Chinese even expressed surprise.
The reason for Uncle Black's objection is also very simple, because John David Washington did not become the leading actor. In order to balance Uncle Black's sensitive mind, Nolan gave a more important supporting role to a black actor who starred in "Iron Man"
Don Cheadle, who played the role of Lord, barely soothed Uncle Black's sensitive heart.
Nolan always likes to make movies quietly. The film didn't even have a press conference and went straight into filming. The protagonist played by Li Hyuk fights with his reversed self. This scene took a full week to shoot before it reached Nolan's expectations.
Require.
Although it was shot at Warner Studio in California, the scene actually took place at the Oslo Airport in Norway. Nolan shot the scenes before filming started, and then built a one-to-one real-life set for filming.
After filming the action scenes this week, Li Hyuk felt very sympathetic to the action actor he was fighting with. The two of them had a tacit understanding, so that the final effect was great.
Assistant Yuanyuan was always on set to take care of Li Hyuk. When he saw Li Hyuk's handsome fighting scene, he wanted to make a video and upload it to Douyin, but the crew would not allow such a thing.
In fact, the video of Li Hyuk training with a group of actors has been circulated on the Internet, including a set of extremely weird action routines, which made netizens confused.
However, a replica team on the domestic B site, the remake team, set up its own plot and reproduced the action routines in the training video, which made domestic netizens praise it as "excellent and enjoyable".
The copied video was also uploaded to foreign YouTube channels. Many international friends praised Chinese Kung Fu as being awesome, and the popularity of the video further increased. However, what everyone is most curious about is how the film will present these weird physics-defying action scenes. It is said that director Nolan
It's real shooting, real shooting, not special effects.
Real shooting means that the actors have to go into battle and complete the action in person. One or two scenes are okay, but if it is like this for the entire film, isn't it a bit too crazy?
In fact, this is all speculation by the media and netizens. It is estimated that the specific content of the film is difficult for anyone except Nolan to grasp, including several leading actors.
During the filming break, Li Hyuk accepted an exclusive interview with Warner's media "TMZ", in which he talked about the story of the film. Li Hyuk told the reporter: "Yes, actually I didn't understand the script."
The reporter looked surprised and said: "Don't understand? Is the script difficult to understand?"
"Actually, it's not just me, including Robert and Elizabeth Yin, none of us understood it. The first time I watched it, I thought I understood it. The second time I thought I didn't understand it that well. After the third time, I completely fainted.
Already."
"Then how is the filming of the film carried out?" Can you still film if you can't understand the script? The reporter said he couldn't understand.

"Everything is under the control of Director Nolan. He is undoubtedly a film genius and one of the best Hollywood directors I have ever worked with. Before every filming, he will explain in detail how we should shoot the scene and how to do it."
Only by doing it can he achieve the effect he wants. In fact, filming is more tiring except for action scenes, but other times it is better." Li Hyuk replied.
On the other hand, Nolan also accepted an interview with Time magazine. He said that you need to be very smart to understand the film. It is a very brain-burning film.
The keyword is brain-burning. Fans who follow Nolan understand that the film is probably another Inception-type film. But in fact there are differences between the two. "Inception" seems to be brain-burning, but in fact the story
The structure is a traditional drama three-stage structure, that is, receiving the task at the beginning, performing the task in the middle, and completing the task at the end.
The reason why the audience is brain-burning is because of the deception set up by Nolan, which makes the audience and the protagonist and his party always feel like they are in a dream. By the end of the film, it is no longer clear whether it is a dream or reality.
"Tenet" is different. In essence, it actually has a bit of religious overtones. Nolan himself believes in fatalism very much. He believes that all the choices a person makes in life are predestined. The subjective choices you think are all predestined long ago.
Okay.
This kind of thinking was also used in the creation of "Creed". The protagonist of the film thought that every choice he made was his own subjective action, but he did not expect that all his actions were destined to be taken by his future self.
of.
The structure of the film is also a special large loop structure, that is, from the beginning to the end, it all depends on the director's scheduling.
The two interviews did not reveal much, but they are enough to make Nolan fans look forward to it. In fact, Nolan's popularity in China is actually higher than that in Hollywood. Even Nolan is a bit overhyped and deified.
smell.
Many of Nolan's films have received higher ratings in China than abroad, and have also attracted a large number of movie fans. This time, the strong cooperation between Li Hyuk and Nolan can be said to be reasonable for both parties, and Nolan can continue to consolidate Chinese movie fans.
And Li Hyuk also took this opportunity to continue to broaden his path in Hollywood and create a win-win situation.
But movies are never just about movies, especially movies that involve cross-national and racial cooperation. The complex situation behind them is beyond imagination.
