This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 947: In Cao's Camp, but Heart in Han (asking for monthly ticket)
Nolan: Well, look...

Hao Yun: I think it should be like this...

Nolan: You think so?
Hao Yun: Oh, too? You think so too!

Nolan: Hahahahahaha
Hao Yun: Ha...ha...

When it is Hao Yun's turn to shoot his scenes, the set of "Inception" is always much more relaxed and enjoyable.

The staff can also take a breather.

It’s a pity that Hao Yun’s role is finally coming to an end.

"Inception" will be wrapped up in early November, and Hao Yun had already finished filming 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 filming ahead of schedule because Nolan took care of him.

Sending Hao Yun away early did not prevent Nolan from being reluctant to let Hao Yun go. He very much hoped that Hao Yun could participate in the later soundtrack creation of the film.

Nolan's frequent collaborators include Hans Zimmer (Batman), David Julien (The Prestige, Memento), and others.

This time, he plans to collaborate with Hans Zimmer on the soundtrack of "Inception".

When contacting Hans Zimmer, Nolan gave Hans Zimmer the song "Time" that Hao Yun gave him.

After listening to the song, Hans Zimmer said that the six notes of the song "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, why do you want me to do this? Why don't you just ask the person who created this music to write it for you?

How could Hao Yun dare to take this job?

He decisively rejected Nolan on the grounds that he was not good at "topic writing" and that he relied entirely on inspiration in music.

Nolan was unwilling, but he could only place his hopes on Hans Zimmer.

I hope Hans Zimmer can complete the unfinished work of Hao Yun.

And Hao Yun is indeed very busy.

He had started growing a beard, and his dress and mental state were beginning to resemble that of a decadent man.

Fortunately, it did not affect the filming here.

For a man who is in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han, Nolan can only let him go.

The Chinese phrase "being in Cao's camp but heart is with Han" was introduced to him by Hao Yun.

Now that I think about it, it does make sense.

Many people from the crew came to see Hao Yun off and hugged him one by one. During this time together, they witnessed Hao Yun's various strengths including acting, directing, and music composition.

Although there were several times when Hao Yun went out to play with An Xiaoxi, when working on the set, Hao Yun was more serious than anyone else.

His performance was accurate and efficient. He seemed to understand the effect the director wanted in an instant and execute it perfectly without any deviation.

During breaks in filming, Hao Yun did not slump down in a chair like others, or go out to have fun.

Hao Yun spends most of his time reading books.

For example, he is going to shoot "Manchester by the Sea" recently, and he is reading various related materials.

There are all kinds of similar news, as well as various psychology books.

He would also take notes in a notebook while reading. After everyone got used to it, they stopped disturbing him because they all knew he was doing serious work.

After packing his luggage, Hao Yun did not return to China.

He plans to finish filming "Manchester by the Sea" before going back, which will probably be in January, just in time for the Chinese New Year.

If the filming goes more smoothly, it might be completed in December.

After all, the scenes of this play are relatively simple and do not require too much natural environment coordination.

All it takes is for it to snow, and then when the snow stops you can shoot.

Manchester, which we often hear 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:

In Cape Ann, about 30 kilometers north of Boston, the capital of Massachusetts, and about an hour's drive away, there is a quiet town with only 5,000 people.

The original name of this town was Manchester. In 1989, local residents launched a campaign to change the town's name to "Manchester-by-the-sea" in order to distinguish it from the big city Manchester in the UK.

In addition, the largest industrial and commercial city in New Hampshire is also called Manchester.

But none of them are called Manchester by the Sea.

The sand on the beach here is very fine and makes a singing sound when you step on it.

The town was so small that everyone knew each other by name. Hao Yun didn't go to the beach where they were said to sing. He didn't bring enough clothes, and when he got off the plane and took a car to the town, he almost froze to death.

When I arrived at the accommodation arranged by the crew, I sat by the fireplace and slowly felt warm.

It was only October 10th.

In fact, Massachusetts is in the northeast of Miguo, and the latitude of Manchester by the sea is the same as that of the Chinese city Changchun, where the winter is almost the same as that of Changchun.

It usually starts snowing around November.

It snowed especially early this year. It is said that the first snow fell on October 10th, and the snow currently on the ground is the second.

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 cloudy weather.

This damp cold is more uncomfortable than the dry cold in China's capital.

Hao Yun was very glad that he didn't let An Xiaoxi follow him.

An Xiaoxi took cold water baths many times while filming The Return of the Condor Heroes. Although her body recovered a long time ago, she still suffered from the problem of being afraid of cold.

Therefore, Hao Yun likes to hold her in his arms while sleeping, for he is afraid that she will feel cold while sleeping.

After An Xiaoxi returned, she began to promote "Sword Rain" enthusiastically. This movie happened to be released today.

It’s almost the end of October, and we’ve just missed the National Day holiday.

It can be considered as giving way to "The Founding of a Republic".

Although "Founding of a Republic" did not enjoy the National Day box office exclusively, its national box office exceeded 3.74 million yuan as films such as "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Sword Rain" all gave way to it.

This is another movie this year that has exceeded 3 million.

The most important thing is that this movie invited so many big-name stars, but the production cost was only 3000 million. Can you believe it?

The reason is that all the stars performed for free.

Hao Yun played a cameo role in the film and didn't get a penny.

Thinking back, Huang Jianxin was also a director who had made masterpieces like "Back to Back and Face to Face". How come he has become so shameless?

I heard that he is going to shoot "The Founding of a Party" too. He really understands business very well.

Perhaps because the town was too small, the quiet streets and the sea only made people feel dull and depressed, so Hao Yun had no interest in throwing a party or having dinner with the crew. On the first day he arrived, he announced that the crew would start working normally.

He gathered everyone together to study the script and the 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 was not his invention, as Hollywood had had it for a long time.

Abroad, the act of reading scripts as referred to by film, television and drama practitioners has various different 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 reading sessions before filming begins.

The reason why Hao Yun held a script reading session was because he was not only unfamiliar with these actors, but they were not even from the same cultural range, so it was very necessary to further communicate about the roles and the script.

"Buried" and "Source Code" are far less complex than "Manchester by the Sea".

Actors participating in the script reading can try to figure out their roles in advance, fully understand a Chinese director, understand a Chinese director's script, and find out possible cultural and language differences 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 depressing movie.

"Director, I... I always feel a little uncomfortable. Some scenes... 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 like he was suffocating when he saw this plot in the script.

In fact, ever since he got the script of this play, he wanted to beat up the director and screenwriter Hao Yun.

It's so fucking depressing.

"This scene is actually Li's dream. I also think it is scary, but it is not entirely my original creation," Hao Yunke was unwilling to take the blame: "It is a story I copied from Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams. It is a very sad dream."

In the original book, it says that the little son who had 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, can't you see it?" He woke up in fright and saw that the candle had burned the curtains.

"It's really heartbreaking." Rosamund Pike, also known as Rosamund Pike, patted her chest.

She also understood.

In this movie, Li, played by Hao Yun, is the only protagonist, and all perspectives start from him.

There is no female lead at all, she actually plays a supporting role.

This is actually a good thing. The Oscar for Best Supporting Actress is also a popular award among actors. If she plays this role well, she can be nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

Forget about the Best Actress award. It's impossible to be nominated for Best Actress in such a male-dominated drama.

Jennifer Connelly also won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in "A Beautiful Mind".

The effect of reading in circles is very good.

After an afternoon and an evening of script reading, some actors had red eyes from crying.
