Chapter 946: In Cao's Camp, but Heart in Han (Asking for Monthly Ticket)
Chapter 947: Being in Cao's Camp but Heart in Han (asking for monthly votes)
Nolan: Well, you see...
Hao Yun: I think it should be like this...
Nolan: You think so too?
Hao Yun: Ah, too? You think so too!
Nolan: Hahahahaha
Hao Yun: Ha...ha...
When it's Hao Yun's turn to shoot, the set of Inception is always much more relaxed and happy.
The staff can also take a breather.
It's a pity that Hao Yun's part is finally coming to an end.
Inception will be finished in early November, and Hao Yun has finished shooting in late October.
Three weeks have passed since An Xiaoxi left.
In a group portrait movie, the second male lead will not have much more scenes than other important supporting roles, and in different parts, everyone can be said to be the protagonist of the plot.
Of course, Hao Yun was able to finish shooting early because Nolan took care of him.
Sending Hao Yun away early did not prevent Nolan from being reluctant to let him go. He very much hoped that Hao Yun could participate in the later music creation of the movie.
Nolan often collaborates with composers such as Hans Zimmer (Batman), David Jullian (The Prestige, Memento), etc.
This time, he plans to collaborate with Hans Zimmer on the soundtrack for Inception.
When contacting Hans Zimmer, Nolan gave Hans Zimmer the song "Time" that Hao Yun gave him.
After listening to it, Hans Zimmer said that the six notes of "Time" cycle upwards, like layers of climbing and crossing, forming a dream space, which fits the theme of the movie "Inception" very well.
So, he asked Nolan, what do you want me to do? Can't you just let the person who created this music write it for you?
How dare Hao Yun take this job.
He decisively rejected Nolan on the grounds that he was not good at "propositional composition" and relied entirely on inspiration in music.
Nolan was unwilling, but he could only pin his hopes on Hans Zimmer.
I hope Hans Zimmer can complete Hao Yun's unfinished career.
And Hao Yun was indeed very busy.
He had started to grow a beard, and his dressing and mental state were beginning to develop into a decadent man.
Fortunately, it did not affect the filming here.
For a man who was in Cao Ying but his heart was in Han, Nolan could only let him go.
The Chinese phrase "being in Cao Ying but his heart was in Han" was popularized by Hao Yun.
Now that I think about it, it is indeed meaningful.
Many people from the crew came to escort Hao Yun and hugged him one by one. During this period of time, they witnessed Hao Yun's various strengths in acting, directing, and music.
Although Hao Yun went out to play with An Xiaoxi several times, when working on the set, Hao Yun was more serious than anyone else.
His performance was accurate and efficient. It seemed that he could understand the effect the director wanted in an instant and execute it without any deviation.
During the break in filming, Hao Yun did not collapse on a chair like others, or go out to have fun.
Hao Yun spent most of his time reading a book.
For example, he is going to shoot "Manchester by the Sea" recently, and he is reading all kinds of related materials.
There are all kinds of similar news, and all kinds of psychology books.
He will also take notes in a notebook with a pen while reading. After people get used to it, they will no longer bother him because they all know that he is doing serious things.
After packing his luggage, Hao Yun did not return to China.
He plans to go back after finishing "Manchester by the Sea", which will be around January, just in time for the Chinese New Year.
If the shooting goes more smoothly, it may be finished in December.
After all, the scene of this play is relatively simple, and it does not require too much natural environment to cooperate.
It only needs to snow, and then the snow stops before shooting.
Manchester, which everyone often hears about, is the second largest city in the UK after London. It is an industrial, rock and football city with a population of more than 500,000.
This was Hao Yun's impression when he first saw the script.
Later, when he saw Boston appearing many times in the script, he realized that the movie "Manchester by the Sea" was about a completely different place:
There is a quiet town with only 5,000 people living in Cape Ann, about 30 kilometers north of Boston, the capital of Massachusetts, about an hour's drive.
The name of this town was originally Manchester. In 1989, local residents launched an activity to change the name of the town to "Manchester-by-the-sea" in order to distinguish it from the big city of Manchester in the UK.
In addition, the largest industrial and commercial city in New Hampshire is also called Manchester.
But they are not called "Manchester by the Sea".
The beach sand here is fine and makes a singing sound when you step on it.
The town is so small that everyone can call each other's name.
Hao Yun did not step on the beach where they were said to sing. He didn't bring enough clothes. He got off the plane and took a car to the town. He was almost frozen to death.
When he arrived at the accommodation arranged by the crew, he sat by the fireplace and slowly warmed up.
It was only October 25th.
In fact, Massachusetts is northeast of Miguo, and the latitude of Manchester by the sea is the same as that of Changchun, a Chinese city. The winter there is almost the same as that of Changchun.
It often starts snowing around November.
This year, the snow fell particularly early. It is said that the first snow fell on October 16, and the snow on the ground is the second snow.
The long cold season, the delayed spring, the bright and distinct snow and blue sky in clear weather, and the whistling cold wind mixed with snowflakes in haze weather.
This damp cold is more uncomfortable than the dry cold in the capital of China.
Hao Yun was very glad that he did not let An Xiaoxi come with him.
An Xiaoxi took cold water baths many times when filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes". Although her body recovered a long time ago, she still had the problem of fear of cold.
Therefore, Hao Yun likes to hold her to sleep, just to prevent her from getting cold when she sleeps.
After An Xiaoxi went back, she began to promote "Sword Rain" enthusiastically. This movie happened to be released today.
It's almost the end of October, and it just missed the National Day period.
It can be regarded as giving way to "The Founding of a Republic".
Although "Founding of a Republic" was not the only film to enjoy the National Day period, it broke through 374 million yuan in the national box office when "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Sword Rain" all gave way to it.
This is another film that broke through 300 million yuan this year.
The most important thing is that this film invited so many big-name stars, and the production cost was only 30 million yuan.
The reason is that all the stars starred in it without any pay.
Hao Yun played a cameo role in it and didn't get a penny.
Back then, Huang Jianxin was also a director who shot such a masterpiece as "Back to Back Face to Face", so how could he become so shameless?
I heard that he was going to shoot "The Founding of a Party", which really understood the business thing.
Perhaps because the town was too small, the quiet streets and the sea would only bring people a dull and depressing feeling, so Hao Yun had no interest in throwing a party or having dinner with the crew members. He announced that the crew would start working normally on the first day he arrived.
He gathered everyone together to study the script and lines.
Ning Hao likes to do this kind of script reading the most, so there are so many wonderful lines in his movies.
However, it is not his first creation, Hollywood has had it for a long time.
Abroad, the behavior of reading the script mentioned by film and television drama practitioners will have various expressions: read-through emphasizes the process, table-read emphasizes the location, and table work emphasizes the nature of the work.
Some film producers or directors will hold multiple script readings before filming.
The reason why Hao Yun held a script reading was that he was not only unfamiliar with these actors, but also not from the same cultural range, so it was very necessary to further communicate the roles and scripts.
"Buried" and "Source Code" are far less complicated than "Manchester by the Sea".
The actors who participated in the script reading can figure out the roles in advance in this link, and fully understand a Chinese director, understand a Chinese director's script, and find the cultural and language differences that may exist between the two sides. Finally, director Hao Yun will give correct guidance and corrections.
Hao Yun needs to explain the psychological state of the characters in each scene, and the actors need to understand how to make such a sad movie.
"Director, I... I always feel a little uncomfortable. Some plots... For example, the line 'Dad, can't you see we are on fire?' is simply too much!"
Josh Hamilton, who plays the lawyer, currently has a four-year-old child. As a father, he felt that he was almost out of breath when he saw this plot in the script.
In fact, since he got the script of this play, he wanted to beat up Hao Yun, the director and screenwriter.
It's too depressing.
"This scene is actually Li's dream. I also think this scene is terrible, but this scene is not entirely my original creation," Hao Yun is unwilling to take the blame: "It is a story I moved from Freud's "The Interpretation of Dreams". It is a very sad dream."
In the original book, it says that the little son who just died was lying in the bedroom. The father dreamed that the child was nestled in his arms and said, "Dad, I'm on fire, don't you see?" He woke up in shock and saw the candle burning the curtains.
"It's really heartbreaking." Rosamund Pike, also known as Rosamund Pike, patted her chest.
She understood it.
In this movie, Li, played by Hao Yun, is the only protagonist, and all perspectives are from him.
There is no heroine at all, she is actually a supporting actress.
This is actually good, the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress is also a popular award for actors to compete for, and if she plays this role well, she can be nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
Forget about the Best Actress, it is impossible to be nominated for Best Actress in such a male-dominated drama.
Jennifer Connelly also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "A Beautiful Mind".
The effect of the reading is very good.
After an afternoon and a night of reading the script, some actors have cried their eyes red.
