Wu Jianye made several minor changes to the movie "Inception". For example, the identity of the dream thief was changed from an American to a Haojiang person, so the shots of North America in the main scene were also changed to Haojiang people.
lens.
At the same time, the role of the tycoon was also replaced by Jiang Qian, which actually removed the rb plot. This is also the reason why a Chinese-style building was built at the Zhu Xinzhuang Tangting Cultural Filming Base.
But some things have changed, but some things will never change, such as the scenes in Paris, France!
This is where the dream thief Chen Daohuan and the dream builder Zhou Gongzi met. It is also the place where the special effects in this movie are the most amazing.
After the crew of "Inception" came to Paris, Wu Jianye was not in a hurry to shoot, but met with Liang Zhengting first.
Liang Zhengting has been here for nearly half a month.
"How did the photo shoot go?" Wu Jianye met Liang Zhengting in the hotel room.
In order to perfectly present the special effects in the movie to the audience, Liang Zhengting took people to Paris early to take photos and collect materials. In the later stage, he will use digital technology to perfectly present the scenes in the movie to the audience.
Liang Zhengting smiled bitterly and said: "Fortunately, I finally completed the photo shoot during this time!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "This shot can be said to be the most shocking special effect in the whole movie. Your job is not light!"
Liang Zhengting said: "Don't worry, Director Wu, we promise we won't let you down!"
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "With your guarantee, I feel relieved!"
Now that they have met, Liang Zhengting reported some of the film's special effects processes to Wu Jianye. The two chatted until late at night before Liang Zhengting left. However, he will stay in Paris during this period in order to obtain the special effects during the filming process.
More material.
On the next day, Yang Sanpao also found Wu Jianye, accompanied by an interpreter. The passports and visas for Yang Sanpao and others were finally obtained. They arrived in Paris one day earlier than Wu Jianye and the others, "Inception"
"Another reason why the crew did not shoot immediately after arriving in Paris was actually waiting for the work progress of Yang Sanpao and others.
"Director Wu, the Paris city government doesn't agree with the use of explosives for filming. It seems that the only option is to use nitrogen cannons!" Yang Sanpao said somewhat unhappily.
This was the first task Wu Jianye gave him, but it was not completed perfectly. Yang Sanpao was still a little unhappy.
Wu Jianye smiled and comforted: "It's okay, don't take it to heart, we didn't have much hope before, so we can just shoot according to the original settings!"
Yang Sanpao nodded seriously and said: "Director Wu, don't worry, we have done a lot of experiments and calculations, and we guarantee that no one will be hurt!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "That's what I came for, so of course I believe it." After saying that, he looked at Zhao Fei and asked, "Has the scenery over there been finished?"
Zhao Feidao: "There is still a little bit of finishing work, but don't worry, it will definitely be ready by the time of filming!"
Wu Jianye then smiled and nodded, saying: "That's good, let's go shoot the college scene first!"
The filming in Paris mainly consisted of two scenes. One was the scene where Chen Daoxuan met his father-in-law and met the dream builder Zhou Gongzi under his introduction.
The second one is the meeting between Mr. Zhou, Chen Daohuan and Xu Zheng and their scenes in the dream.
The person who was invited by Wu Jianye to play Chen Daoxuan's father-in-law was not a domestic actor, but Zeng Qiang, an old actor from Xiangjiang!
Zeng Chang's version of Huang Yaoshi can be said to be the most similar among all the "Legend of the Condor Heroes", and he is also a very experienced actor in Hong Kong. There is no problem for him to play this role.
Before coming to Paris, the film crew had already negotiated with the University of Paris about borrowing the venue. In fact, when the University of Paris first heard that a Chinese movie was going to be shot here, they disagreed, but when they
When I heard it was Wu Jianye's movie, I immediately agreed!
This also made those who went to negotiate with the University of Paris lament Wu Jianye’s global influence!
The crew did not delay the filming any longer and soon arrived at the University of Paris for filming.
For students from the University of Paris, the arrival of the crew is actually a bit curious.
First of all, China has always had a very mysterious feeling in Europe, even in the era when Wu Jianye was reborn. However, the situation at that time was actually somewhat different from now. At this time, China's voice in the international community was still
Not as big as later generations.
So at this time, Europeans also lack the arrogance they had when Wu Jianye was reborn!
It may be a bit difficult to understand, but in fact it is true. In the era when Wu Jianye was reborn, as China's voice became more and more important in the world, European and American countries felt that kind of pressure, so
At that time, their governments would intentionally guide the people to have some bad ideas, which also led to the attitude of ordinary people in Europe and the United States towards China at that time being different from what it is now.
At the same time, the development of the Internet has not yet taken off, and the so-called global village concept has not yet been formed. The mystery of China has always been a place that they are very curious about.
In their hearts, they have their own understanding of China. This understanding is deeply ingrained and it is not easy to change it.
One thing about this matter is actually very easy to explain, and that is reflected in Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" movie.
There is a plot in the movie where the heroine is a Chinese veteran. In the movie, whether it is the appearance or the attitude of the veteran, from the perspective of us Chinese people, it actually feels fake or cliched from the inside out.
But this is how people in Europe and the United States imagine China.
Therefore, Wu Jianye has always believed that whether it is movies, TV or later online novels, they should become an important part of domestic image output, because this can allow people in Europe, the United States and other countries to understand China more clearly.
Unfortunately, sometimes what you think does not represent what some people think. Some people are more pursuing stability. Under the word "stability", a lot of things are actually revealed, and there is a good side.
Even the good side still accounts for a large proportion, but some people regard this stability as not wanting to try, because if they don't try new things, there will be no trouble...
Another thing that makes students from the University of Paris curious is the director of this film, Wu Jianye!
At this time, Wu Jianye has actually become a business card of China overseas. A few months ago, Europeans knew Wu Jianye as the world's top director, rock singer, and best-selling novelist.
They like to watch the movies they make very much. Whether they are oriental movies or Hollywood movies, they can control them perfectly.
Then, with the outbreak of the Phantom incident, although not many people knew about it in China due to news suppression, it was different in Europe. As the most popular news at that time, it was really lively in Europe for a period of time.
With the exposure of Caroline Wu's identity, everyone knows that she is Wu Jianye's daughter, and the actual person in charge of Phantom Media is Wu Jianye!
This surprised many people and at the same time they couldn't believe it...
This is Wu Jianye's first official appearance in Europe after experiencing the Phantom incident, which naturally made many people curious.
Not only students from the University of Paris, but also some media in Paris wanted to come in to interview Wu Jianye. Unfortunately, they were blocked by the University of Paris, Chen Hai and others, and couldn't get in at all!
There are not many scenes at the University of Paris, only a few short scenes.
At this time, Mr. Zhou had already changed into costumes and was holding a stack of books. He couldn't tell the difference between him and the college students who were hanging around here as extras.
"For a while, when you sit there and see Dao Ming, you will have some doubts at first, because you didn't expect Dao Ming to come here, and then your mood changes to worry, because Dao Ming has already thought of countless ways to go back.
But there has been no success. You think he is doing it in vain, and at the same time you are worried about his mental state..."
At this time, Wu Jianye was narrating a play to Zeng Jiang. Today's scenes are for Zeng Jiang, Chen Daoxuan, and Mr. Zhou.
"I think we should arrange some students in the class later. Although get out of class is over, I always think this can give the audience a more realistic feeling." Zeng Jiang suggested.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "No, Chen Daoxuan's identity in the play cannot be exposed. He cannot appear in front of the public. At the same time, the script also states that your character does not like to work in an office.
....."
"Director Wu, can you sign your name for me?" At this time, a young female college student came over, holding a French version of the "Harry Potter" novel in her hand, and came to Wu Jianye, with a look in her eyes.
Have expectations, said in English.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, we are about to shoot now. If you are not in a hurry, can you wait until after we finish shooting and I will sign your autograph for you?"
The female college student showed a look of disappointment on her face, "It'll be fine in just a moment!"
"I'm sorry, this is the rule of our crew, wait until I finish filming!" Wu Jianye emphasized.
"Okay!" Although she was disappointed, the female college student still left politely.
Mr. Zhou looked at the female college student curiously and asked the translator beside him: "What did that student just say to Director Wu?"
Because the filming was to be done in Paris, basically none of the crew spoke French, so Wu Jianye specially found two students from the University of Paris for the crew to serve as temporary translators.
They are not only responsible for the crew's filming at the University of Paris, but they will also follow the crew during the time they are in Paris.
The translator who happened to be standing next to Mr. Zhou was a girl named Su Cheng, who was already a sophomore at the University of Paris this year.
Su Cheng smiled and said: "That girl must be a fan of Director Wu's books, so she asked Director Wu to sign the "Harry Potter" novel. It is said that the fifth novel of "Harry Potter" will be released this year.
I’m really looking forward to it!”
Mr. Zhou looked at Su Cheng curiously and asked, "Harry Potter?"
Su Cheng was not surprised by Mr. Zhou's doubts. In fact, this did not mean that the "Harry Potter" series of novels had not been released in China.
This set of novels is on the market in China, but the sales are a bit bleak and not many people have read it. First of all, the background of the story is a bit unfamiliar to domestic readers, and it is pirated!
The domestic crackdown on piracy has never been strong enough, even in later generations. Some piracy websites are not worried about being reported or caught because the punishment is not strong enough.
The profits created by a pirated website may be millions or even tens of millions, but the penalty is often tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. It is impossible to crack down on piracy with such intensity...
.
Due to piracy and unfamiliarity with the story background, this series has always been tepid in China, with not many people watching it.
It was when Su Cheng came to Paris to study that he learned that there was such a series of novels. People tend to follow the herd. When everyone around him was discussing this series of novels, Su Cheng also read it. In addition,
The experience of studying abroad gave her some understanding of the historical background of Western countries, so it was easier to understand.
After explaining to Mr. Zhou the relationship between Wu Jianye and "Harry Potter" and the status of the "Harry Potter" series of novels in Europe and the United States, Su Cheng even glanced at the female college student with some pride.
, because she had already gotten Wu Jianye’s signature!
At this time, Mr. Zhou's application became more and more confusing. Wu Jianye had already surprised her when she was in Haojiang. She didn't expect that she could feel different doubts in France.
"There are still many things you don't know. Director Wu's reputation here is no worse than that at home, and is even better than that at home!" Su Cheng said proudly.
Because she studied abroad here, she was able to see more about Wu Jianye in Europe and the United States, and she also remembered her expression when she just learned about these things. So at this time, she looked at Mr. Zhou's puzzled expression, and felt a very strong feeling.
sense of identity.
"I'm telling you..." Just when Su Cheng wanted to tell Mr. Zhou something that Mr. Zhou and the others didn't know, Wu Jianye was already calling Mr. Zhou.
"You go over first, and I'll tell you when I have time!" Su Cheng said to her.
Mr. Zhou didn't think much about it. When he came to Wu Jianye, Wu Jianye called Mr. Zhou over. In fact, he didn't hear their conversation. At this time, Wu Jianye was focused on the movie both physically and mentally. It was impossible.
After hearing this, she called Mr. Zhou over and actually explained her performance for a while.
Mr. Zhou stood there and listened carefully to Wu Jianye's lecture. This was also her advantage, because Mr. Zhou knew clearly that there was no way he could compare with people who graduated from the three major art academies such as Xu Zheng, Huang Xiaochu and Duan Yihong.
, so I was more serious when shooting.
"Do you understand?" Wu Jianye asked.
"I understand!" Master Zhou said.
"Very good, all departments are ready to start filming!" Wu Jianye shouted!
