Actor: My Entertainment Era

Zhang Yuanjun was even absent from the promotion of his Sino-US co-production "Source Code". Without "Love After Life", Yu Feihong really had nothing to say.

But on August 8, Zhang Yuanjun still appeared at the film's premiere in Beijing.

Yu Feihong was really surprised by Zhang Yuanjun's "airborne landing". He even explained to the media: "Yesterday I said I couldn't come back, but I didn't expect..."

Zhang Yuanjun said: "It was Mr. Qin who asked me to keep it a secret and to give you a surprise."

The main investor of "Love Is Afterlife" is Xingmei International.

"It's really a surprise." Yu Feihong hugged Zhang Yuanjun with tears in his eyes.

At the scene, Zhang Yuanjun said frankly: "I have also had love in my previous movies, but "Love Is Afterlife" is my first love-themed movie. My biggest wish now is to watch "Love Is Afterlife" in the cinema with the audience. Move with them.”

On the day of the premiere, Lu Chuan chatted side by side with Zhang Yuanjun several times. According to Lu Chuan, he revealed: "I have always wanted to collaborate with Zhang Yuanjun. I invited him in "Nanjing! Nanjing!" but missed it because of the schedule. I will meet him today to tell him We have some cooperation matters, and I hope there can be some progress.”

Lu Chuan's face cannot be refuted in public. Zhang Yuanjun also said: "Director Lu Chuan is also a director I have always wanted to work with. If there is a suitable movie, of course I will try my best to promote cooperation."

The film was not shown at the premiere of "Love After Life". In the interview after the ceremony, Zhang Yuanjun was asked: "'Source Code' has been in theaters for 20 days and the box office exceeded 2 million. How do you feel about it?"

The reporter tacitly did not mention the US market. Lionsgate mobilized 319 theaters to screen "Source Code" on the first day in the United States. There was no way, the department had no interest in Chinese science fiction films, and these [-] theaters were already the limit.

Zhang Yuanjun said: "I am filming abroad, but I want my assistant to always pay attention to the domestic market, so I have always known the box office of "Source Code". I learned before I got on the plane yesterday that "Source Code" has already sold 2.1 million, right? I am very happy. , thank you very much to the audience friends for their support."

"Can the success of "Source Code" be said to be the success of Chinese science fiction? Will more science fiction movies be made in the future?"

Zhang Yuanjun answered the previous one first and gave a negative answer: ""Source Code" is not representative. Its success is not the success of domestic science fiction. Domestic science fiction still has a long way to go."

Science fiction is the pearl of the film industry, but China currently does not have the environment and capabilities to produce science fiction.

Then answer the second question: "If there is a good script, I would like to act in any genre. Not only science fiction, I also want to act in domestic fantasy movies."

"Do you still have work plans after returning from "Inception"?"

"There is also a film that is about to be put into production and will be filmed until early next year."

"Snow Leopard" is scheduled to start production in November, and Mango Channel is already preparing to attract investment.

Zhang Yuanjun + Tang Yan, both of them are very popular now, and they are just lying on the mango table to attract investment and make money.

Of course, two super popular people mean super high remuneration, which is another story. Anyway, it’s investors’ money spent.

After the premiere of "Love Is Afterlife", Zhang Yuanjun wanted to go home and rest, but was unable to do so.

Xiao Zhao made an appointment for him to have supper with Xu Ke, Shi Nansheng and his wife.

"What do you want from me?" Zhang Yuanjun asked in the car.

"Did you forget about the sequel to "New Dragon Gate Inn"?"

Only then did Zhang Yuanjun react: "Um, is there any news?"

"Xu Ke started working on this drama right after he finished filming "Di Renjie". There is already news in the industry. We will have a late-night snack today and we will also arrange for the draft to be approved."

"alright."

At noon the next day, while Zhang Yuanjun was still on the plane flying to Paris, the domestic press release came out. "Zhang Yuanjun parachuted into the premiere of "Love Is Afterlife" and admitted that he was moved by Yu Feihong's directorial spirit."

"Lu Chuan: I most want to cooperate with Zhang Yuanjun. Zhang Yuanjun: Try your best to facilitate it and adjust the schedule."

"Yesterday, "Love Is After Life" held a grand premiere in Beijing. The leading actor Zhang Yuanjun flew back to Beijing from Paris and gave the crew a big surprise. After the premiere, reporters photographed Zhang Yuanjun not returning to Dongshan Villa Instead, they went to an ordinary restaurant for a late-night snack. To the reporter's surprise, not long after Zhang Yuanjun entered the restaurant, director Xu Ke, who had just finished filming "Di Renjie", also arrived at the hotel. An hour and a half later, the two shook hands and said goodbye at the door of the hotel. , it can be seen from the picture that the two were chatting happily. After director Xu Ke finished filming "Di Renjie", it was rumored that his next film would be a martial arts action film. This meeting with Zhang Yuanjun may have finalized the schedule in advance.

"There have been rumors in the industry about director Xu Ke's new film, but there is no confirmed news."

…………

Zhang Yuanjun's scenes in Paris were very scattered, with one day of filming and two days off, but Liu Yifei's scenes in Paris were quite large.

Early that morning, Liu Yifei was going to shoot the scene where she and Leonardo enter the dreamland together. This was an explosive scene.

Cobb, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, takes Adrian, played by Liu Yifei, to experience for the first time what is going on when dreams collapse.

This time the dream collapsed, Nolan chose a different method from the flooded mansion in Los Angeles - blasting!
Zhang Yuanjun was worried about Liu Yifei and came to watch.

According to special effects supervisor Chris Cobbard, the angles of the explosions were strictly calculated so that the splashing objects would not hit the two actors.

The crew sealed off a street in central Paris to film the scene.

In Nolan's script, because this scene takes place in a dream, there cannot be any real fire and smoke in this explosion, which is difficult to do.

However, relevant authorities in Paris required that the sound of this explosion scene should not exceed 104 decibels.

The crew had to prepare a large number of lightweight simulation props, such as fake fruits, rubber glass, etc.

The shooting plan for this explosion scene was to use air pressure cannons and high-pressure nitrogen to launch the props, causing the effect of the city collapsing.

In fact, this scene was shot several times in a studio in Los Angeles. Leonardo and Liu Yifei both acted in person, and indeed neither was injured.

But today's actual shooting, Zhang Yuanjun was still very nervous.

Nolan was on the set communicating with the actors and photographers about shooting matters. After a while, Nolan walked away and made an OK gesture.

Before the explosion scene, Liu Yifei and Leonardo had already finished filming the literary scene, and today they mainly shot the explosion scene.

"Action!" Nolan and Zhang Yuanjun both stood by the monitor and watched the midfielder.

Only a bang was heard in the field!
Cars and motorcycles on the roadside were pulled down, windows were broken, and pieces of paper, boards, fruits, tables and chairs were in chaos.

This shot took less than 5 seconds to shoot, but it will be handed over to the special effects staff to do it again later to make the scene bigger and more shocking - Nolan is crazy about real-life shooting, but he is not so crazy that he actually blows up the center of Paris. He still has to Rely on the special effects people.

Nolan was not satisfied with the first take, and organized the crew to shoot it twice more - each time taking more than 2 hours of preparation - before letting Leonardo and Liu Yifei go.

"Nothing hurt, right?" Zhang Yuanjun asked.

"No, it's safe. It's just that the air cannon blew my hair a little messy." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

After the day's shooting, the two went back to the hotel to rest. Liu Yifei lay in Zhang Yuanjun's arms, sleeping soundly, but Zhang Yuanjun couldn't sleep with his eyes open, not knowing what he was thinking. (End of chapter)
