Chapter 304 Strange Stories
"Zhang Hao never knew what green screen technology and CG are. What he wants is the feeling of real shooting."

"Upstairs, you can blow it up, but don't overdo it. How dare you say that "The Martian" doesn't have a single CG shot?"

"It can't be said that there are no, but there are not many."

"Looking at the still photos, the crew is really awesome, and the setting of the Vientiane ring is really amazing."

The discussion of the above netizens is all because of the first batch of stills of "Inception" officially issued by Tianmi Film and Television Production Company.

According to the normal rhythm of publicity and release, it is not appropriate to carry out too many publicity and release actions for films under production.

This is done to prevent premature publicity from raising the audience's expectations. When they find out that they have to wait too long, the previously accumulated advantages of publicity and distribution will become a disadvantageous factor.

So the crew of "Inception" also released stills, plus a little content revealed by Director Wang Jing.

But there's no way, who told this to be Zhang Hao's crew, who are born to be the focus of the media.

There is no need to buy trending searches, the huge popularity and traffic will put everything about "Inception" on the top of the trending searches.

Some people may say, isn't it just a few stills?What's the big deal?
Everything has to be compared, a few stills are nothing special, it's just that the stills are from the crew of a big director who sold a billion-dollar box office in the world last time.

And the other things on the hot search list are either that a certain traffic Xiaohua is so beautiful in street photography, or that a certain traffic is so handsome in selfies with fresh meat and no makeup.

Just say these hot searches, are they really valuable and have content?These hot searches are really bought to hype.

In contrast, the stills of "Inception" have at least a lot of points for netizens to analyze.

No, immediately there were film and television bloggers who were tortured enough by the movies released in theaters, and began to analyze the content of the movie based on these few still photos.

Although the analyzed content is far from the real story plot of "Inception", it is at least valuable, and it is enough for netizens to discuss it for a while.

Throughout October, the crew of "Inception" was filming intensely at the studio in Qingdao.

Because of the shooting cycle, starting from November, the crew began to shoot outdoor scenes.First shoot in Shanghai, then transfer to Xinjiang, Tokyo, Paris, Zazat in Morocco, and finally back to the studio in Qingdao.

In fact, the original role in Mombasa was chosen in the coastal city of Mombasa in Kenya.

But I don't know what happened. The filming permit originally obtained from the Mombasa city government was not recognized by the local central government.

To put it bluntly, we are good brothers with Africa and Kenya.Only then did people let go, but they had to pay, which was twice the original price.

They also have a reason, since we are friends, today my friend is short of money, and you just asked me to do something, wouldn't it be nice if both sides get what they need.

What, you said you are Zhang Hao, a Chinese?I don't even buy Spielberg, an American, let alone you, a Chinese director.

So the crew failed to reach an agreement with the local government, so they had to find another place to shoot.

Since we are no longer shooting with you, the money we spent in Mombasa must be refunded to us!
But no, since you use our territory, you have to pay, whether you need it or not, and you don’t even want to go out if you don’t have a penny.

So the matter froze, and the experience of Zhang Hao's team in Kenya immediately spread all over the world.

Netizens from other countries are gloating, but Chinese netizens are a little bit outraged, feeling like their good intentions are being treated like donkeys.

Fortunately, the embassy in Kenya learned of this and took the initiative to help the crew solve the difficulties and got the money back.

Now, the Mombasa city government is good friends with the film crew again, and they promised to shoot scenes in Mombasa without charging any fees.

But after this incident, Zhang Hao completely lost interest in Mombasa, and didn't want to shoot there anymore.

So the crew turned to Morocco, which is also the filming location of many Hollywood crews, known as Mollywood.

Although the price here is more expensive than in Mombasa, but the price is clearly marked, so it's no lie!

After this incident, Zhang Hao understood that he must fully learn from the rich experience of Hollywood.Wherever they go to shoot, there is usually no big problem in that place.

Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" was also filmed in Kenya, but encountered many difficulties, and even almost died.

After finishing her role in "Wolf Warrior 2", Ying Bao went to Xiamen first, played a guest role in Da Mimi's new drama "Want to See You", and then came to the crew of "Inception" with Da Mimi.

She talked about the hard filming experience in Africa and said it was very unforgettable.

"There are a lot of slums over there. We have to go deep into the slums for filming, and we need the protection of the local gangsters, otherwise we can't shoot."

During the meal break, Yingbao and Da Mimi were both in the director's rest tent, chatting while eating.

Da Mi Mi took a piece of braised pork and put it in Zhang Hao's bowl naturally, and Zhang Hao ate it with a big mouthful of rice.

Ying Bao saw it, but said nothing.

She has been relieved, and now she has become a career-oriented strong woman, and she even has a backlog of five dramas next year, which can be called terrifying.

Da Mi Mi doesn't know what to think, it stands to reason that this kind of woman who used to miss her husband, she should guard against it.

But Da Mimi actually became friends with Ying Bao, and even invited Ying Bao to guest star in her new drama, and did not object to Ying Bao continuing to get along with Zhang Hao as a good friend.

It can only be said that Da Mi Mi has a really big heart.

Perhaps, this is the inexplicable friendship between two outstanding actresses.Or maybe, the two of them have something in common, so they can become good friends.

You know, the fans of Da Mi Mi and Ying Bao can be said to be incompatible, after all, both of them are in the first and second positions of the first echelon of Bawuhua.

Fans fought to the death for their idols.

But the two parties didn't feel anything, and often posted photos on Weibo, showing the good relationship between the two, making fans feel that their hard work was in vain.

"You were filming in Africa, did anything happen?" Da Mi Mi asked.

Ying Bao recalled: "Of course there is, the big cameraman has been robbed by local gangsters, usually as long as you give money, they will not embarrass you.

Maybe girls are a bit dangerous, after all..."

Zhang Hao also echoed: "It's true, my crew also had an accident, but it was in Los Angeles."

"I know this matter. At that time, the media hype was very strong. It was also this matter that made me not like the city of Los Angeles." Da Mi Mi also remembered this matter.

When going out to film, safety is very difficult to guarantee, especially when filming in a dangerous place.

Wu Jing described his filming trip in Africa in this way: "I was filming at the gunpoint of the local warlords, and at night I had to face blackmail from gangsters, and I had to worry about lions when I went to the wild..."

From this point of view, it is still domestic security.

Although there will be some vicious security incidents, once they occur, they will be national incidents.Unlike North America, the number of shootings is too high to count.

People don't care about it anymore, and they just mention it in the news, and they don't care about this kind of thing at all.

Chinese netizens on the other side of the Pacific are more concerned about their shootings than people in North America, and the security situation is mediocre.

When vicious security cases in the country become so commonplace that they don't even bother to report the news, that will be the real disaster.

At least now, go out to have a barbecue and drink beer, so you don't have to worry about someone suddenly pulling out a rifle and starting to shoot.

Students can also go to school with peace of mind, without worrying about gunmen rushing into the campus with submachine guns and sweeping themselves to death.

The crew can also film with peace of mind without worrying about making things difficult.

But, sometimes there is no way, after all, the Eiffel Tower is in France and not in China.If you want to shoot, you have to go to Paris to shoot.

You can't build one yourself, that would be a bit too much.

The filming of the scenes in Qingdao studio was not finished. Taking advantage of the good weather in Shanghai, "Inception" was filmed in Shanghai.

Ying Bao also played a cameo role in the crew of "Inception", that is, the beautiful woman disguised by the pretender in the third dream.

You can't let Yan Biwen disguise himself as a woman, can you?

If it's Lu Xiaohan, maybe he can give it a try.

But with Lu Xiaohan's poor acting skills, he couldn't act in Zhang Hao's play, so he didn't have this chance.
