Waking up from her sleep, Fu Xiaoci was already dripping with sweat, her face was full of pear blossoms, and her eyes were filled with fear.
"how so?"
She had a dream, a dream of grief.
This dream made it impossible for her to sleep anymore because those images were always echoing in her mind.
This made her confused, but she didn't know what to do next, so she kept staring at the ceiling blankly.
Gradually, the sky became brighter, and Fu Xiaoci felt her head was dizzy. After she realized something was wrong, her whole body became limp and weak, and it was extremely difficult to even get up.
She touched her forehead with the back of her hand, finally picked up the phone and dialed 120...
I reported my address to the command center, and the nearby hospital drove an ambulance as quickly as possible.
Fu Xiaoci got up and opened the door.
At this moment, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the hot forehead seemed to burn out her brain.
Between waking up and not waking up, Fu Xiaoci cried again, tears falling down her face as if they were free.
She dreamed that he was dead in her arms.
Why! Why is this happening?
…
Funds were raised, actors were recruited, and after more than a month of prop production, in early April, Liao Yuan officially started filming "Inception" with the power of "The Pianist" winning the Berlin Golden Bear.
The cast of "Inception" is quite luxurious this time. The addition of two top Hong Kong music tycoons, Tan Jie and Ai Shi, has already made this movie a hit before it was released, causing heated discussions in the film and television circles. Secondly, Zhang Ziming
, Zhong Jiancheng and others are also domestic actors with extremely mature acting skills. Coupled with the collaboration of the Liao brothers and sisters, as well as the participation of many top male and female supporting actors in the industry, "Inception" has become the most anticipated domestic science fiction movie this year.
Before filming started, Liao Yuan described the script of each main character in detail, breaking the plot into pieces for the actors. But even so, including Ai Shi, Zhang Ziming and others, in fact all
I heard it half-understood.
But one good thing about them is that they are very obedient. They will act however the director tells them to act. Therefore, in this case, it is not difficult to understand whether the plot is understood or not.
When shooting the plot scenes on the first day, it was customary to do it in one take, so Liao Yuan only shot some simple scenes and then called it a day.
It wasn't until the second day that the filming of the plot officially started.
What was filmed on this day was a big plot: Cobb and his teammate Arthur were embedded in the two-layer dream of Saito, the president of a Japanese energy company, to steal company secrets. Things were going smoothly, but Cobb's wife Mel suddenly appeared and helped Cobb.
Bu added trouble, and after Cobb saved the day, he retreated to the first level of Saito's dream.
In the first level of the dream, the dream builder who hesitated to hire made a mistake, causing Saito to realize that it was a dream. So Saito woke up, returned to reality, and used the power of the chaebol to capture the protagonist in reality.
This is an introduction and an important prelude to the unfolding of the subsequent plot, so we must strive for excellence in filming.
Liao Yuan was very serious about filming, and his acting was even more superb, leaving everyone in the crew dumbfounded.
"No wonder he won the Berlin Best Actor."
Zhang Ziming couldn't help but sigh: "It's true that real gold is not afraid of fire!"
Others were also amazed. Even some veteran actors, after seeing Liao Yuan's acting skills, were completely convinced that Liao Yuan won the best actor award.
On the set, Ai Shi also performed very well. Although she is a singing queen, she has often appeared in film and television works in the past few years since her debut. She has participated in and starred in dozens of movies and TV series.
In this time "Inception", she plays Meier, the protagonist's wife. Meier is also an excellent dream builder, but because she has been immersed in dreams for a long time, she cannot distinguish between dreams and reality and commits suicide by falling from a building. This is also
It became the protagonist Cobb's nightmare, causing loopholes in Cobb's future dreams.
In the original work, when the director started filming "Inception", although there were many hallucinatory plot scenes in the film, he always insisted on creating real scenes.
Therefore, when Liao Yuan was filming "Inception", he also tried his best to avoid excessive use of GI technology, which can be regarded as a tribute to his predecessors.
Even when special effects are used when necessary, Liao Yuan always shoots the real scenes as perfectly as possible. In this way, the special effects can only serve as the icing on the cake.
This involves some pretty masterful photography skills.
For example, the camera roll axis can be rotated 360° to shoot.
The film shot in this way will have a strong visual impact, giving the work richer creative expression.
The operation is also very simple. Click the button on the dial three times, and the Magic Claw Stabilizer will automatically move forward horizontally. Then move the joystick left or right to shoot this special effect. As for the rotation speed, you can adjust it in the photography software.
Free settings.
As a well-known contemporary director, Fu Yuntao has made four or five hit movies in a row since "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", so his directing skills are naturally profound.
But when he saw Liao Yuan instructing photographers and special effects supervisors on how to shoot and produce scenes, he still felt a little unbelievable.
"Where did you learn these idiots?"
Fu Yuntao was a little surprised.
He probably knows a little bit about Liao Yuan's activities in the past few years. He has a purely wild background as a director, but his current shooting techniques can be considered unconstrained even in the industry.
This is real skill, and today's younger generation of directors don't even listen to it. It probably only appeared at the end of the last century, because since computer special effects became popular, such shooting techniques have become rare.
Liao Yuan smiled mysteriously and did not explain anything, because these photography techniques were all learned on the set of his previous life, and they are relatively retro and old-fashioned film shooting techniques.
After he used these shooting techniques, the computer became somewhat worthless in the production of "Inception".
In addition to filming the movie, Xinyuan Film and Television Production Company also rented and arranged scenes around the world in accordance with Liao Yuan's requirements.
It is planned that the main filming of the film will involve eight countries on four continents.
Of course, most of the scenes were shot in China, such as the scorching heat in the west and the heavy snowfall in the northeast. In addition, Tokyo, Bally, and Beijing were also included.
During this period, in order to complete a set of vehicle action shots, the visual effects team also used artificial rainfall and other means to complete the plot of a freight train sweeping through the city center. The scene was realistic. Due to the cooperation of the local government, the filming went smoothly, but
Even so, it caused a great sensation in the local area during the filming. After the filming, thousands of people watched inside and outside the studio.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and more than half of the filming of "Inception" has passed.
During this period, all the crew and actors were impressed by Liao Yuan's seriousness and dedication. The team flew around the world for nearly seven months, which really made all the actors very tired.
"The 1.3 billion film production is indeed not simple."
Zhang Henge, one of the Seven Sons of the Empire, was wiping his sweat while reciting his lines. He will appear in the next scene.
He came in as a temporary replacement, directly replacing one of the actors arranged by Hualong Media. In the film, he played Fisher, the son of a chaebol rival and the main target of Cobb's team. The role was very long and required high acting skills.
Although he is a top performer in the industry, Zhang Henge's acting skills can only be said to be average, so he was often yelled at by Liao Yuan on the set.
Zhang Henge complained secretly, but did not dare to resist Liao Yuan. Not to mention that Liao Yuan had already won the Berlin Best Actor and was much better than him in acting skills. Liao Yuan himself was also the target of Zhang Henge's sincere fawning. He also hoped that Liao Yuan could have sex with him again.
Unparalleled collaboration, dominating the music scene.
At the same time, he also lamented in his heart that Liao Yuan was usually gentle and courteous, but after he arrived on the set, he turned into a tyrant on the set. No one dared to resist his opinions, because he directed the film and wrote the script. No one
He understands this drama better than he does.
But the effect of such a talk is also very obvious. The whole set is full of centripetal force. As long as what Liao Yuan said is basically correct, everyone does not need to work hard. Just perform according to the effect described by Liao Yuan. After some integration, in the camera
The footage that appeared turned out to be even better than the actors intended.
As a result, Liao Yuan's prestige was established through shooting after shooting.
After Zhang Henge finished reciting his lines and brewing his emotions in his mind, he stood up and said to Liao Yuan on the director's chair: "Director Liao, I'm ready to rest."
Hearing this, Liao Yuan picked up the microphone and shouted to the audience: "Everyone is here and rested. After filming this scene, we will finish the work as soon as possible and continue in the afternoon."
The shooting of the scene went very smoothly, mainly due to Zhang Henge's good performance, so the antagonist scene was filmed in less than ten minutes.
At this time, there was a commotion not far away.
Liao Yuan looked back and saw Lin Weiyin walking over with a warm box while smiling and nodding to the staff around her.
Everyone's eyes turned over.
Liao Yuan paused, looked at his watch, then picked up the phone and said, "Are you hungry?"
"Not hungry, not hungry!"
Everyone suppressed laughter and shook their heads.
Liao Yuan said with some embarrassment: "I'm a little hungry. Please wait for me for a while while I finish this bowl of chicken soup."
"Hahaha!"
"Go, go, go!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Liao!"
There was constant laughter all around.
Liao Yuan packed up his things, stood up, and walked towards Lin Weiyin: "Chicken soup again?"
"Uh..." Lin Weiyin was stunned, and said a little embarrassedly: "Yes, you have been sick these past few days, and the doctor told you to make chicken soup for you to drink."
Liao Yuan was a little helpless.
Not long ago, I was filming in the Northeast. After I came back, Liao Yuan was infected with pneumonia. He kept coughing. He went to the hospital for a check-up. Because he was so busy, his body couldn't stand it anymore. So after he got sick, the doctor suggested that Lin Weiyin give Liao some treatment.
Stew an old hen far away.
The doctor only gave the advice once, but for four or five days in a row, all Lin Weiyin brought to the set was hen soup.
This is a bit upright.
And since Lin Weiyin started "Inception", she would come to the set to visit whenever there was a scene in the East China Sea. After going back and forth, everyone on the crew knew about the relationship between Lin Weiyin and Liao Yuan, and it was considered completely public.
.
Seeing this scene, Fu Yuntao felt very complicated in his heart, but he didn't say anything. Men love women, so you can't beat them up just for the sake of kinship, right?
It's just a pain for my sister...
On the other side, in the lounge, Lin Weiyin opened the thermos box, looked at Liao Yuan faintly, and said softly: "I have it." ——
