Finally, after half a night of thinking, Liao Yuan put a checkmark on the suffix of the movie title "Inception".
He decided to film "Inception."
Because compared to other movies, the creativity of "Inception" is top-notch. The most important thing is that "Inception" has an excellent reputation in its previous life, with an IBMD score of 9.3, ranking third in film history. This is a huge
At the same time, its box office performance was also very good, and it was one of the most blockbuster blockbusters of the year. It grossed 292 million U.S. dollars in North America and 5.483 billion yuan at the global box office.
This result is more popular than Robert Downey Jr.'s "Iron Man 2" and "The Twilight Saga 3" of the same year. After deducting the cost, the film studio earned at least more than 2 billion.
Although the script is quite brain-burning and Liao Yuan is still not sure about it, the box office is a huge temptation.
In comparison, although "Shutter Island" is also very exciting, it is a very pure suspense movie. Of course, the main reason is the box office problem. "Shutter Island" had an excellent first week at the box office in its previous life, but its follow-ups continued.
It was weak, and in the end it only achieved a total global box office of more than 2 billion yuan.
"The Truman Show", "Shawshank Redemption" and "Shutter Island" are actually not commercial films in the strict sense. Moreover, the times are different and the background is different. Although the film is a classic, in 2024, Liao
Although I can guarantee that these movies will not hit the streets, it is still worth thinking about whether they can achieve the expected blockbuster movies.
In addition to these films, among the films that Liao Yuan can think of, "Independence Day" and "The Martian", like "The Truman Show" and other films, have an uncertainty because they are not very creative films.
Genre, there are many similar science fiction films in this world.
In the end, I could only choose between "Inception" and "Interstellar".
"Interstellar" is an excellent film. Liao Yuan has reviewed it five or six times in his previous life. The memory is relatively deep. However, writing the majestic physics knowledge in the script requires Liao Yuan to spend a considerable amount of time.
We must take care of everything from beginning to end. During this period, we must discuss with top physicists and astronomers at home and abroad. Therefore, just the preparation of the script and the preparation of subsequent props and scenes may take a long time. Although Liao
Yuan really wants to shoot this sci-fi epic film, but he obviously doesn't have much energy at the moment.
Therefore, in comparison, Liao Yuan finally chose "Inception".
This is a landmark work in the science fiction film industry. It caused a sensation all over the world when it was released. Countless film critics praised it and were impressed by the unparalleled imagination and logical ability shown in the film. The burning passion shown in the film
The details are mind-boggling.
Of course, the script of "Inception" was not something that Liao Yuan could write overnight. He needed to think carefully. He remembered the general plot and had seen detailed explanations of the relevant movie content, but this did not make Liao Yuan happy.
I wrote the entire script of the movie in just a few days. This was not about composing music and lyrics, but rather requiring lengthy theories and footnotes to support the smoothness of the entire script.
Therefore, this night, Liao Yuan worked a rare all-nighter.
It was in the early morning that he felt a little sleepy, then he simply washed up and went to sleep. At noon, he woke up in a daze, ordered a takeaway, had a quick meal, and then continued writing at his desk in the study.
His focused look was very much like the time when he and Lin Weiyin first fell in love.
Liao Yuan is like this. Once he concentrates, no one can wake him up even if the sky falls. He refuses to answer calls from the company, relatives and friends. People know that he is writing a new script, and no one bothers him.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed and the script was more than half completed.
That night, he picked up a pen and wrote and drew in his notebook. The entire notebook was full of complicated and confusing characters that only he could understand. So even if the notebook was lost, no one might be able to understand what it was written on.
What is this thing?
But at the next moment, Liao Yuan, who was writing on the desk, suddenly had a convulsion all over his body, his brain was confused, and his eyes were filled with darkness. Finally, with a bang, he fell down on the desk with a fragrant breath coming from his mouth.
"I!"
Liao Yuan's eyes widened and he felt it was difficult to breathe. He seemed to be dying. His whole body was completely unable to move.
I could only hear my heart pounding in my ears.
At this moment, his mind was still in the state before work, with words such as "dream", "reality", "lens", and even broken words such as "city in the rain", "luxury hotel" and "snow mountain fortress" appearing.
screen.
These are the broken lens languages in "Inception".
By now, Liao Yuan has realized that crazy recalling the past will cause a certain degree of damage to his brain, and this damage will even accumulate.
When the damage accumulates to a certain extent, it will be like now, like a living dead, lying motionless by the desk.
He remembered the last time when he was filming "The Pianist on the Sea". Due to the surge of emotions and the brain's memory of the details of the music, he was like a computer outage. He passed out in front of everyone and was then sent to the hospital.
Got to the hospital.
But the strange thing is that this time, he was not unconscious.
He only felt that his breathing was a little difficult and his heart was beating too fast.
Although his eyes were bloodshot, he could still clearly see things in the room.
But soon, he discovered a problem. The scene in front of him seemed to gradually turn into a two-dimensional space. Computers, bookshelves, chandeliers, curtains, etc. seemed to have become flat bodies at this moment.
They all turn into one page!
A painting!
a photo?
The next moment, the beating of the heart in my ears intensified again.
There was a loud bang.
It was as if someone had flipped a switch.
The picture in front of me was instantly shattered. The bookshelf disappeared, the computer disappeared, the lights disappeared, and the hanging murals also shattered...
Liao Yuan's eyes turned into darkness, and all he could see were fragments floating in the darkness.
It didn't take long for all the fragments to come together and gradually form a picture.
In the dilapidated warehouse, there were smelly garbage piles, and squeaking rats walked arrogantly from behind.
A weak air current blew towards my face.
In front of him was a dirty operating table, with various needles and tubes placed on the medical cart.
The light bulbs hanging from the ceiling emitted a faint light, and the current seemed a little unstable, making a buzzing sound.
This is……
Liao Yuan's pupils shrank sharply.
At this moment, that familiar voice came again.
"I'm sorry, I really just do it for money..."
"Your family is extremely wealthy. The salary from one movie is enough for us ordinary people to live for a lifetime. Why are you forcing me?"
"I used to be a fan of yours. I've seen all the movies you starred in..."
Chattering words floated around, faintly visible.
Liao Yuan's brain was a little confused. He had heard these words when he was in a coma last time. Now that he heard them again, memories came flooding back to him.
How did you die in your previous life?
Kidnapper, tear up the ticket?
In other words, this speaking voice is the kidnapper?
Liao Yuan suddenly had some enlightenment.
At this moment, he felt the sluggishness of his body, the sticky touch on the ground, and the feeling of weakness all over his body. All of these made Liao Yuan feel a little unbelievable.
Are you back?
Or...in a dream?
His mind was extremely clear, and his hands and feet gradually regained consciousness at this moment.
But he soon discovered that his hands and feet were tied with nylon cable ties. If he struggled even slightly, the cable ties would cause pain like they were sinking into his flesh and blood.
The pain was so profound that it made Liao Yuan feel terrified.
Is this reality?
Is this reality!?
So what are the four years that I have experienced?
Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly? Huang Liang had a dream?
impossible!
Liao Yuan's heart was filled with turmoil. He couldn't believe it. He struggled hard to look at the figure of the person who spoke, but his cervical vertebra seemed to be fixed and he couldn't move at all.
He wanted to speak, but all he heard was a gurgling sound coming from his throat.
At this moment, Liao Yuan could only use his eyes to look around, silently observing the surrounding environment.
This is a dilapidated warehouse that has been silent for an unknown period of time. As a result, the entire warehouse is covered with garbage. Rats are running around in the corners wantonly and arrogantly...
At this moment, he felt someone lift his arm, and a laugh came. Soon, a slight pain came, and Liao Yuan realized that he had been injected with something...
He passed out again, and everything fell into darkness and silence.
I do not know how long it has been.
Liao Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and saw a quiet study room. He was lying in front of the desk, his face pillowed on the notebook, and the drool flowing out wet the pages...
He stood up suddenly, hesitated for a long time, then touched the side of his face, and suddenly slapped himself hard.
