Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 296
The two of them had slept well on the plane. When they landed in Los Angeles, it was noon local time, so they didn't have to suffer from jet lag.

Eddie sent a car to pick them up. Before getting in the car, Zhang Yuanjun met Lu Chuan and his group. Lu Chuan said he would go to the set to see them when he had time, and the two teams separated.

The next day, Zhang and Liu came to the studio of Warner Bros. Studios and met Nolan.

Nolan is a typical British gentleman. Even when working in the studio, he wears a shirt and his hair is meticulously combed, but he does not wear a tie.

"Zhang, Crystal, welcome to "Inception". Zhang, I have watched "Transcendence", and your performance is really amazing."

"Transcendence" was not released in the United States and the United Kingdom. He may have seen the English subtitled version screened at a film festival.

"Miss Crystal, your "The King of Kung Fu" is equally impressive." Zhang Yuanjun wondered if Nolan would praise everyone if more than two people came today.

The two sides said hello, and Nolan immediately took them to visit the studio, where the scenery was being set up. Saito's luxurious Japanese castle in the film will be built here.

Zhang Yuanjun also saw a high-pressure water pump placed in every window of the castle.

Liu Yifei asked Nolan: "What are these water tank pumps used for?"

Nolan explained: "We have a scene where a flood destroys the castle. At that time, these water pumps are controlled by the mechanism and pour out the water, flooding the castle."

I have long heard that Nolan is a real-shooting fanatic, and you can get a clue from this. He is really trying to find ways to shoot as realistically as possible.

After staying in the studio all morning, several people agreed that if they were still in the studio on the 10th, Leonardo and other main actors would come over, and the crew would hold a script reading meeting.

To put it bluntly, not only Liu Yifei, but "Inception" is also the largest crew that Zhang Yuanjun has ever been on.

With a budget of US$1.6 million, the resources Nolan can mobilize are terrifying, and he can use the latest and most advanced technology to complete his vision.

It was also the first time that Zhang Yuanjun saw some of Nolan’s equipment and shooting techniques.

The two returned to the hotel suite booked for them by the crew, and they coincidentally took out the script and reacquainted themselves with the lines.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Liu Yifei also said: "Don't we know each other by heart?"

Zhang Yuanjun said harshly: "I read my opponent's lines, and I'm afraid they will affect me."

"Shaobao." Liu Yifei ignored him.

During the period before the official launch, Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei, apart from familiarizing themselves with the script again, spent the rest of their time playing.

Now that the two of them have gone public, they don't have to hide it anymore. It doesn't matter even if reporters from China take pictures.

Therefore, the reports sent back to China by Los Angeles reporters in the past few days are all their Los Angeles travel diaries.

Where did you go today, what did you eat, and what did you play?

The next day, she went shopping in Beverly Hills. Liu Yifei bought a bag for her assistant and Zhang Yuanjun's assistant.

On the third day, several people went to Wolfgang Puck's restaurant to taste the skills of the Oscar dinner chef.

Zhang Yuanjun also warmly invited reporters from China to have dinner with him.

Zhang Yuanjun introduced to the reporters at the table: "Since 95, Parker has been the chef at the Oscar dinner. You can try it."

The reporter who followed me on Weibo asked with a smile: "I also won it in Cannes. Now is it time to win the Oscar?"

Zhang Yuanjun said: "I would like to, but this kind of opportunity may never come across in my life."

Compared to Oscar, Zhang Yuanjun is more willing to continue to impact the top three in Europe.

Zhang Yuanjun poured a glass of champagne for the reporter sitting next to him: "It's okay to drink. You guys are tired from running news abroad."

"Yuanjun, how long will it take to shoot "Inception"?"

"The filming will last until October. I will travel to several countries, and I will also go to Africa."

"What about the domestic "Source Code"?" "Source Code" has been scheduled to be released on August 8.

"I will go back to attend the premiere, run for two days to promote, and then I will rush back." Zhang Yuanjun said. "The event is very tight. You will also have a film called "Love Is Afterlife" next time."

"Is "Love Has an Afterlife" scheduled to be released?" Zhang Yuanjun asked. He was abroad and some domestic news might not be so well-informed.

"It's decided, it will be released in September. It is said that there is a problem with the copy and it needs to be re-washed." The news was released at this time.

"That's a pity. I'll try to go back and attend the premiere." Zhang Yuanjun was also helpless about the film.

"So, you will dominate the screen this summer." The reporter laughed.

Isn't that right? From July to September, Zhang Yuanjun has a movie released every month.

"I heard that you signed a contract for a TV series on Mango Channel later on. Is it true?"

"Ah."

"Many movie actors are very cautious when filming TV series, especially if you just won the Best Actor at Cannes."

Zhang Yuanjun chewed slowly and replied: "I didn't think too much about it. I just filmed it when I saw a good script. I didn't consider whether it was a TV series or a movie. Besides, I haven't acted in a TV series for a long time."

"Then you have a very busy schedule this year. Have you filmed...?"

Zhang Yuanjun counted the numbers in his head and said, "Two movies, followed by a TV series."

"Aren't you tired?"

"I'm not tired." Zhang Yuanjun said, "I had a great time acting."

Zhang Yuanjun's answer was something the reporter didn't expect. He was filming three movies in a year and traveling all over the world, but he actually said that he was very happy.

Looking at the reporter's expression, Zhang Yuanjun said: "Look, haven't I rested for more than a month since I came back from Cannes? In fact, I'm not very tired. If I really work at full capacity, I can shoot from the first day of the new year to the third day of the new year." Ten nights.”

"I see that the male actors in the same group as you are almost like this. They wish they could live on the set and shoot five or six movies a year."

"That would be really tiring." Zhang Yuanjun doesn't agree with this working model, but he understands it very well, because other actors don't have such favorable conditions as him. He can refuse, but it is difficult for others, and at the beginning of his career, he said It sounds a bit ugly, no matter what the film is, you have to keep filming and acting, only in this way can you have a chance to get ahead.

"Neither Yifei nor I are the kind of people who let work fill their lives." Zhang Yuanjun introduced the topic to Liu Yifei.

Sure enough, the reporter asked Liu Yifei: "Is Yifei filming this year?"

"Plus this two-part drama."

"Will you join the group again this year?"

"I can't tell you that."

"That means yes?" How could the reporter listen to her?

Liu Yifei smiled: "I didn't say anything, so don't write anything when you go back."

There are not ten but eight scripts for Liu Yifei. She is also choosing now. She is really not sure whether she will join the group after "Inception".

The guests and hosts had a great time, the reporters ate and drank, and indirectly interviewed the two of them, so they had something to write about when they returned home.

Please do more business trips like this.

Of course, the two of them were in Los Angeles, so the time before filming was not all about eating, drinking and having fun.

Zhang Yuanjun’s Z Studio also has a lot of work that needs to be handled by him. Zhang Yuanjun is quite busy these days.

On the 10th, the two met all the starring actors of "Inception" in the studio. Liu Yifei put aside her boyfriend and took photos with Leon and chatted. She was very happy.

Then he posted a photo of himself and Leon on Weibo, with his boyfriend Zhang Yuanjun sitting in the corner of the photo, looking like a follower.
