I'm a movie star on earth

Chapter 166 Nolan's Audition

In Warner Film Studios, in a certain studio, Li He and Damien Chazelle met the filming crew, and the film crew received them two.

The original idea for "Interstellar" came from Spielberg, and Spielberg invited Nolan's brother Jonathan to write the script.Spielberg eventually abandoned the project because of the movie "War Horse". Nolan took over, and after rewriting the script, it was quite different from the original script.

In order to verify some of the scientific settings in the film, Nolan even invited the famous physicist Kip Thorne to serve as the scientific consultant and producer of the film.

Nolan is undoubtedly a skilled and real-time shooting maniac director. He has always insisted on using film cameras to shoot, and tried his best to focus on live-action shooting.Li He heard that in order to shoot the cornfield scene, the crew planted 500 acres of cornfields in Canada six months in advance. The spaceships in the movie are all built from one-to-one models. Except that they cannot go into space, they are almost exactly the same as the real spaceships. .

"My god, are these real?" Damien asked with admiration looking at the realistic spaceship.

The producer of "Interstellar" is Nolan's wife Emma. She smiled and said: "These are just small scenes. Christopher also transformed the studio where the Batcave was once built into a space capsule and set up a surround screen. It shows black holes and spinning stars."

"It's really crazy, Tom, have you ever seen such a director?" Damien Chazelle turned his head and asked Li Hedao.

Li He replied: "I heard that a director in our country used thousands of troops to shoot a film, and the director built a huge palace in order to restore the ancient city. Damien, if you have a chance Should go see it."

"Really? If I have a chance, I will definitely go to Huaxia to see..."

Emma smiled and said, "Okay, the crew should be filming now, I'll take you to visit."

Li He and Damien Chazelle followed Emma to the shooting location. At this time, the crew was shooting. A middle-aged man with short hair and short hair was holding the camera himself. It was the film director Christopher Nolan.

With a click, Nolan ended the scene, Emma led the two people forward, and introduced: "Darling, these two are the director and star of "Blowout Drummer", Damien Chazelle and Tom Lee."

"Hello, Director Nolan..."

"Hello, I heard that Warner Pictures has won the distribution rights of "Burst Drummer". Congratulations." Nolan has an author-director temperament that is rarely seen in Hollywood.

"You are too kind. The purpose of our trip is to learn from you. This time we have benefited a lot." Damien Chazelle said.

"It's all about learning from each other," Nolan said politely, then turned to Li He and said, "Warner asked me to give you a role in the film. Are you an islander? Or a Nanbang person?"

Li He found that everyone who asked about his identity never asked if he was a Chinese. At this time, Li He would usually reply quite proudly: "I am a Chinese..."

"Oh? A Chinese actor, I know Jack Cheng, and his kung fu is great." Nolan looked at Li He strangely, unable to understand the relationship between Li He and Warner's senior management.

Damien Chazelle was also very puzzled, didn't he agree to visit?How did you talk about movie roles?

Instead, Emma explained: "Warner has already seen the first cut version of "Burst Drummer". Li's performance is great, but the release strategy of this film is to go to the film festival first, so Warner arranged for Li to appear in "Interstellar" first. A cameo role in "."

The whole story is like this, at least let Li He get acquainted first, and when the film is released in theaters, Li He will not be unknown in front of the audience.

From this point of view, the date of "Burst Drummer" may land on the theaters after next year's summer. In this regard, the crew has no choice but to accept Warner's arrangement.

But for Li Hyuk, it is undoubtedly an opportunity, this is Nolan's new movie, even if he only plays a small role in it, saying one or two lines, it is enough to make many actors fight for their heads.What's more, Li Hyuk is still a Chinese, and it is even more difficult to survive in Hollywood, which has always been xenophobic.

Nolan was somewhat resistant. As a director with a strong desire for control, he was absolutely unwilling to have a production company randomly stuff his crew with people. However, he has been in Hollywood for many years, and some things are unavoidable, so Nolan decided to audition for Lee Hyuk. to see the effect.

"If you want to get a role, you have to prove your own strength. It seems that your English is not a big problem, and you can't hear the difference in accent, but the job of an actor is to act. I will find you an actor to play with, Matthew Come here." Nolan called to the resting actors in the distance.

Matthew McConaughey, the lead actor in the film, has received acclaim for his acting skills. His starring role in "Dallas Buyers Club" received unanimous praise from film critics in the preview and is expected to be released in November this year. Matthew is expected to win an Oscar Nominations for acting awards.

"Director, what do you want from me?" Matthew was wearing a bloated space suit. Of course the space suit is fake, but it looks the same as the real thing. This is the details.

"You have a scene with him, just the scene between Matt and you, 5 minutes to prepare." Nolan handed Lee Hyuk a script and asked him to put on the spacesuit and then prepare.

Although Matthew is a little strange, Matt Dameng's cameo role has already ended, so why is there still an audition, and he is still an Asian.

However, Matthew didn't raise any objections. He re-familiarized with the script and prepared to play.In this scene, Matthew doesn't have any lines, mainly Lee Hyuk's lines.

After Li Hyuk was ready, Nolan asked the photographer to record it, so that if Li Hyuk didn't meet the requirements, he would have his own statement and evidence.

"OK, are you all ready?" Nolan asked.

In order to observe the facial expressions, neither of them put on their helmets, and nodded to indicate that they were ready.

"Okay, get ready, let's start..."

Li Hyuk entered the state in a second: "Do you know why we don't send robots to execute these characters? Machines can't adapt to changes, and you can't program the fear of death into them.

Our survival instinct often makes us survive in desperate situations. Taking you as an example, as a father, your desire to survive extends to your children.

Do you know that according to scientific research, what is the last picture a person sees before dying? "

Matthew shook his head, expressing that he was not clear.

Li He continued: "It's the children, it's their faces. At the moment of death, your consciousness will stimulate you to struggle to survive, for them."

"Ka, very good..." Nolan finished the scene and said to Li He: "Hey, boy, your acting skills are really good, can you tell me how you practice?"

Emma said from the side: "He is a person who has won the best actor, of course it is not a problem."

"Oh my god, is it true? Which actor award did you win?" Matthew asked in surprise.

There is no need to be polite in front of foreigners, Li Hyuk replied directly: "It's the winner of Shanghai International Film Festival, and I just got it in May."

"It's amazing. I've been to Shang Hai and know about this film festival. Li, you are really amazing." Matthew gave a thumbs up.

Nolan covered his head and said to Emma, ​​"Don't you tell me about this kind of thing?"

Emma smiled and said, "You didn't ask me either..."

Nolan shook his head, shook hands with Li Hyuk, and said, "You are great, how about it, there is also a doctor in the film, how can I teach you?"

Li Hyuk would not be polite: "Thank you, Director Nolan."

Nolan waved his hand and said, "This is the role you deserve. I hope you can spare half a month in August to report in Alberta, Canada. Is it okay?"

"No problem..." Lee Hyuk said he was very happy to get the role by accident.

　Yesterday I planned to have a big explosion, update ten chapters, and challenge myself.But in life, it is inevitable that there will be some people who have to deal with it, there is no way...

　　I went to work today and found that the manager hadn’t left yet. This chapter was coded during the noon break. Today there are probably only two updates, and you can’t fish when you go to work.

　　What's the matter with feeling more and more owed?Can anyone tell me how many chapters I owe now?
