"Inception" is definitely a big project for Li Yi.
Moreover, he is too lazy to adapt this film into a domestic version, but he will adapt the film into an international version.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is a domestic version or not, because as long as the director is Li Yi, then it can be said that this is a Chinese film.
For example, some characters in the movie, such as the island elements in the movie, can be completely replaced with Chinese elements.
Naturally, the role of a Japanese old man can be replaced by a Chinese, or a Chinese rich man.
The protagonist group can also be mixed and matched. If a movie like "Inception" is simply made into a Chinese version, many places will actually need major changes.
Moreover, the all-Chinese class is not good at competing internationally. This is something that cannot be done. The influence of Hollywood over the years is deeply ingrained and cannot be changed overnight.
At the same time, this movie must also attract Hollywood giants to join, such as Dean Films. To put it bluntly, every place has its own local rules.
For example, some people say that Asan's company is overbearing and almost steals a certain company's shares, but in fact, it is similar in any country.
The same is true for movies, such as "Inception". If you want to succeed in Hollywood and succeed on a global scale, profit sharing is a must.
If there is no benefit, why should the other party open the door?
Why should I help you?
Of course, compared to the "Inception" in my memory, Li Yi's movie will definitely have more Chinese elements in it.
And there is a saying, similar to the movie with a criminal background, the old and American social background is indeed more useful. The key is that you can do whatever you want without having to worry too much.
Like the protagonist of the original Dream Inception, it would be obviously inappropriate for you to play the protagonist in a domestic movie. No matter how much you say, he is still a wanted criminal.
Dean Pictures naturally attaches great importance to Li Yi's movies.
And although the script of "Inception" is brain-burning, it is absolutely stunning.
Coupled with the blessing of Li Yi's own name, this kind of movie does not need to discuss too much at all.
Soon, "Inception" officially entered the preparation period. This film requires much more work than "Source Code".
Shooting scenes, actors, etc. can be said to be a myriad of things, and it all takes a long time.
Fortunately, Li Yi's team, coupled with the professional team in Hollywood, are all mature and have the richest experience in the industry. Therefore, after the preliminary preparations began, they were carried out in an orderly manner.
As for Li Yi, in fact, there are not many things that need to be done personally. He mostly accepts various reports from the team leader and then makes a decision.
The more than four months of preliminary preparations for "Inception" have been officially announced as completed.
Officially entering the filming stage, the filming of "Inception" will be shot in multiple locations around the world.
Therefore, the shooting cycle this time will be relatively long.
The shooting process will not be described in detail.
All in all, all in all, this movie can be regarded as a movie that Li Yi took a relatively long time from preparation to shooting.
Fortunately, the film has finally been completed.
In terms of post-production, it also takes a relatively long time. However, Li Yi is not the director of the original version. He has the original version as a reference. And for this kind of classic film, to be honest, there are really very few things he needs to change!
So on the contrary, it accelerated the process in all aspects.
This time "Inception" will be released simultaneously around the world, and the premiere location was chosen by Li Yi in the capital of China.
In fact, Dean Pictures did not agree at first, but Li Yi insisted, and the market size of China is now no less than that of Hollywood. For this reason, Dean Pictures had no choice but to compromise in the end.
Of course, there will also be a simultaneous premiere in North America.
It is naturally impossible for a movie like "Inception" not to promote it. In fact, at the beginning of the filming, this movie included many domestic and foreign superstars, and it was also a "super science fiction movie" directed by Li Yi. Pay attention to
There are always a lot of people.
The popularity has been maintained until one month before the release, a large-scale publicity bombing began.
Beijing International Cinema.
The first screening of "Inception" was held here.
Almost all well-known film critics and media people at home and abroad were present.
Soon, the words "Director Li Yi's work" began to appear on the big screen, and now this has become the most resounding golden sign in the film and television industry.
The first shot that appeared on the screen was a fade-in shot: dawn broke, rough waves, and waves washed an unshaven man onto the sand of the beach. He lay there.
A child's cry made him raise his head and look around: a little boy with blond hair and fair skin was crouching, with his back to the audience, watching the tide swallow up the castle built by Sha Jian. A little girl with fair skin and blond hair was with him to keep him company.
The unshaven man tried his best to greet them, but they ran away without seeing his face.
The man collapsed on the beach.
Suddenly, the barrel of a rifle was poked at the unshaven man's back.
A Chinese security guard looked down at him, then shouted to his colleague who was leaning against the jeep on the shore.
Behind them is a cliff, and a Chinese-style manor stands on the beach.
The camera turned and gave a close-up of this huge garden-style manor. Outside is a huge gatehouse, and different scenic spots such as lakes, pools, and streams are formed inside, combining the artistic conception of landscape poetry, landscape paintings and the natural environment.
The real scene is reproduced in the garden, full of poetic and picturesque charm. The entire garden building seems to be floating on the water, with trees reflecting flowers and flowers. It is pleasant in all seasons, sentimental everywhere, poetry everywhere, implicit twists and turns, and endless aftertaste!
Foreign film critics and media people who came from afar were amazed.
The camera zoomed in again, showing a luxurious restaurant that combined classic and modern styles. Security guards were waiting, and a waiter reported to an older Chinese man sitting at the table.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! His back is turned to the audience.
The waiter said in Chinese: "He is unconscious. But he keeps calling your name. And..."
Then he said to the security guard: "Send it over quickly."
The security guard said: "He only has this on him..."
He put a pistol on the table. The Chinese old man continued to eat. The food on the table was not so luxurious, but it was very exquisite.
Security guard: "...and this."
The security guard placed a small top made of tin and lead next to the gun. The old man stopped eating and picked up the small top.
The old man said: "Bring him here and get some food!"
The scene changed, still in the restaurant, the old man watched the unshaven man wolfing down the food.
The old man pushed and the pistol slid along the table towards him.
He said in English: "Are you here to kill me?"
The unshaven man looked up at him, then at the food.
The old man picked up the top with his thumb and forefinger.
The old man continued: "I know what this is."
He turned it on the table - it turned gracefully on the shining ebony. …
The camera is focused on the spinning top, and it keeps spinning!
The old man said: "I saw one before. Many, many years ago..."
The old man stared at the top, looking a little lost and obsessed.
"It belongs to a person I met in a dream, a dream I vaguely remember..."
The camera once again moves closer to the top of the elegantly rotating top...
The old man continued: "He is a man with crazy ideas!"
He stared, lost in memories.
Cobb's voiceover: "What is the most resilient parasite?"
The scene changed again, and the voice-over was Cobb saying: "35 years old, handsome, well-dressed. Young Chinese man named Li Teng!"
Listen and eat at the same time.
Cobb: "Bacteria? Viruses?"
Cobb gestured to the rich dinner with his wine glass.
Cobb added: "Intestinal parasites?"
Li Teng's fork stopped in mid-air. Cobb smiled, and another man appeared next to the dining table.
His name was Arthur, and he intervened to clear things up.
Arthur said: "What Mr. Cobb wants to say is..."
Cobb responded: "An idea."
Li Teng looked at Cobb, full of curiosity.
Cobb continued: "It's very resilient, it's very contagious. Once a thought takes over the mind, it's almost impossible to eradicate it. People can cover it up, ignore it... but it stays there.
.”
Li Teng was a little confused: "But it will definitely be forgotten...?"
Cobb shook his head: "Information, that's what it is. But an idea? A fully formed, fully understood idea? It will persist, take root here, somewhere in here."
He said and tapped his forehead, obviously referring to his head!
Li Teng asked: "So that people like you can steal it?"
Arthur nodded and answered: "Yes. In the dream state, your conscious defenses will be weakened and your thoughts can be easily stolen. This is the so-called "dream theft"."
Cobb smiled: "Speaking of which, Mr. Li Teng, we can train your subconscious mind to defend against the most skilled dream stealers."
Li Teng was curious: "How can you do it?"
Cobb is confident and confident: "Because I am the most skilled dream stealer, I know how to search your mind and find your secrets. I know these tricks, and I can teach you these tricks, even if you are in your sleep, you
The defense will not be reduced."
Cobb leaned forward and met Li Teng's eyes.
Cobb continued: "If you need my help, you must be completely open and honest with me. I need to understand your mind on my own terms, more than your wife, more than your personal physician, more than anyone else."
know about you."
He pointed around: "Suppose this is in your dream, and you have a safe that hides secrets. I need to know what is hidden in that safe. In order to work effectively, you must treat me as one of your own."
Li Teng smiled slightly at this and stood up. A bodyguard opened the double doors and led him to a luxurious party.
Li Teng smiled: "Gentlemen, enjoy your night and I will consider your suggestions."
They watched Li Teng leave. Arthur turned to Cobb, looking anxious——
Arthur was a little nervous: "He saw through it."
Cobb signaled silence, and there was a tremor. They held their glasses steady, and Cobb stared at his watch—his stopwatch was frozen.
Arthur asked: "What happened up there?"
The scene changes again. Cobb is sitting on a chair at the end of the steam room, asleep. The chair is placed on the cabinet, and the ends of the chair legs are flush with the edge of the tub.
A sweaty man, about 40 years old, looked at Cobb in the distance. His name was Nash. The roar caused by the explosion in the distance penetrated the entire room. Nash walked to the window and opened a corner.
Curtains, only the outside is visible: the city is in chaos - the streets are full of rioters - beating, smashing and burning.
Nash checked Cobb's left wrist: On his watch, there were two yellow thin tubes taped together. Nash looked at Cobb's watch - the second hand was abnormally slow.
Nash followed the tube and saw a silver box placed at Arthur's feet: Arthur was asleep in an armchair, and the tube was connected to the box and Arthur's wrist.
Nash followed the other tubes connected to the box, and they passed under the door to the bedroom. Through the crack in the door, Nash saw Li Teng asleep on a bed, and the tubes connected to his wrists.
Boom! An explosion sounded!
Just the next moment, the scene switched again. On the bullet high-speed train, Nash fell asleep. The train bumped on an uneven track, and Nash's head hit the window glass. A Chinese man named Chen Tian was nervous.
He looked at Nash. He looked at Nash's wrist: two yellow tubes connected Nash to other people on the train.
Three men were connected together: Cobb, Arthur and Li Teng.
Chen Tian checked his watch: the second hand accurately recorded the flow of real time. Another train roared past from the opposite direction - Chen Tian's eyes moved to Nash's sleeping face - Nash followed the movement of the train
, the expression is a little spasmodic.
The scene returned to the bathroom and exploded again - Nash looked at the sleeping Cobb.
Then the scene came to the manor again, and a slight shock spread throughout the manor. Cobb and Arthur steadied themselves against the wooden guardrail. Several tiles and some ash fragments of porcelain stone fell down, and underneath them,
A black sea roared. Other guests meandered up the huge and rugged stairs.
Arthur: "Li Teng saw through it, he was playing tricks on us."
Cobb: "I can get it here. The information is in the safe - as soon as I mentioned the secret, he looked over there."
Arthur nodded. Then, through Cobb's shoulder, he saw a person.
Arthur looked surprised: "What is she doing here, Cobb?"
Cobb turned around and saw a beautiful woman, elegantly dressed and looking into the depths of the sea. Her name was Mal. Cobb was staring at her.
Cobb said to him: "You go back to your room first, and I will take care of the rest."
Arthur said matter-of-factly: "Of course it's up to you to handle it. We still have work to do here."
Arthur and Mal passed by, shaking their heads at the same time. She approached Cobb, and they looked at the cliff below their feet. A gust of wind rolled up her hair.
