Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 268 This is not scientific
Cao Yang selected five locations for the filming of "Inception", including Shandong Island, Beijing, Paris, France, Tangier, Morocco and Montreal, Canada.

The filming on Ludong Island went smoothly. It took only eight days to complete all the seaside scenes.

Next, based on the principle of proximity, we went to Beijing to shoot first.

Before leaving, the officials of Ludong Island were a little reluctant to leave. They clearly felt the influence of Cao Yang and "Inception". That unique launch conference made Ludong Island appear in news all over the world.

The Olympic Sailing Center also became known to many people.

In addition, many foreigners in Europe and the United States also saw the skyscrapers looming in the distance through pictures or videos of the press conference, and were surprised that China actually had such a modern city.

In their impression, whether it is reported by their own media or by well-known European and American media, China is a poor and backward world with ignorant people, backward cities, and political...

At this moment, at least many "high-handed" Europeans and Americans realized that China also has skyscrapers.

This city called Ludong Island must be the number one best city in China, right?

That's what elite education is.

A small number of elites certainly know what the world is like, but apart from them, the majority of the people who have been educated with happiness receive information that is instilled in them by the upper class and what they want them to know.

Not to mention them, even the Hollywood staff and individual actors from the "Inception" crew had their cognition overturned after coming to China.

Although China has not yet started to take off, this stage is the time to accumulate strength, and cities have also begun to recover, at least much better than what their media reports.

Compared to these people, the person who felt the most shocked and lost was Claire Danes, who played the protagonist's wife in "Inception".

Claire Danes suddenly "got it" on the first day of filming, and has always believed that she is one of the actresses who is most compatible with director Cao Yang.

This feeling reached its peak after she filmed opposite Depp.

That's Depp, the Oscar-winning actor. There's no need to say much about his acting skills.

Especially Claire Danes saw with her own eyes on the set these days that Depp's performance was so relaxed and natural that people who didn't know him well might have thought he was fooling around.

However, anyone who has seen Depp's performance will definitely not think so.

Depp's acting doesn't even seem like acting, it's as if he is the male lead in the movie. Many times he doesn't even need to memorize his lines seriously, as soon as the filming starts, even super long lines come out naturally.

Claire Danes didn't believe it at first and thought Depp was joking. He must have memorized his lines very seriously in private.

It wasn't until Claire Danes acted opposite Depp that she couldn't remember many of her lines very well.

But as long as the camera was rolling and the shooting began, she didn't need to think about her lines or not. She just opened her mouth and continued the speech as if it was a normal conversation.

This made Claire Denis once again confirm that she, like Depp, was the "most suitable" person for director Cao Yang.

Therefore, my self-confidence is extremely inflated, and I always feel like I have to express myself, and I always want to find someone to talk to.

She first found Leo, the person she hated the most. This was because she was most familiar with Leo and she could also "show off" her superiority in front of the person she hated the most.

"Leo, have you worked with Director Cao Yang before?"

“Although I have never worked with Director Cao Yang before, he is one of the directors I have always wanted to work with.”

Leonardo DiCaprio didn't have many scenes, but he claimed to the public that he had a good relationship with director Cao Yang, so he came to play a cameo role.

"Really? You also participated in the pre-shooting training. Do you have a deeper understanding of the role of Fisher that you are going to play?"

Claire Danes asked casually.

At this moment, Leo wanted to slap his thigh. Claire asked at the perfect time.

Since the day that filming officially started, Leo found that after a nap and a dream, his understanding of the character of Fisher suddenly became countless times deeper, as if he had resonated with the character.

With his many years of acting experience, at that moment he was extremely confident that no one understood Fisher better than himself.

Like Claire Denis, he wanted to find someone to talk to about this unprecedented feeling. How could acting be so easy? The key is that he could play the role well with such ease!

However, Leo is an international superstar, so of course he cannot be so "superficial". It is not something that someone of his status can do to find someone to talk to. Simply put, he has the burden of being an idol.

Ha, Claire Danes has walked into trouble. I couldn't tell anyone about it, but someone came to me and asked this kind of question. It's just, just great!

"Claire, you know, I started training a little late due to some work reasons, so I may not have enough knowledge about the roles, especially the role of Fisher."

Leo grinned, wanting to laugh out loud, but he held back. He couldn't help being "modest". Claire Danes also grinned, wanting to laugh out loud, but she also held back. Isn't this exactly what she wants?
“As for the role of Fisher, I think it should be viewed from two perspectives. This is also the strength of director Cao Yang. He can always look at problems from different angles and make the actors understand the role.

On the one hand, Fisher's appeal is psychological. He wants to seek his father's recognition and confirmation of his self-worth.

He longs to break free from the shackles of the label of heir. He has long been shrouded in the shadow of his father's business empire. Subconsciously, he desires to prove his ability through independent achievements rather than passively accepting inheritance.

This can be seen from the third level of the dream, when he faced his dying father and found his childhood windmill in the safe. He realized that his father really hoped that he would not be another self, which triggered his decision to give up the inheritance.

The scene of his reconciliation with his father in the dream symbolizes his inner shift from business confrontation to emotional redemption, which is the second aspect I want to talk about.

The second aspect is behavioral choice, reconstructing the life path to achieve self-salvation.

Fisher eventually chose to dissolve his father's company. On the surface, it seemed that he was controlled by Zhimeng, but in fact it was the awakening of his self-awareness. He realized that the right of inheritance was a constraint on personal creativity, and turned to pursue an independent career.

Dissolving the company is not only a business decision, but also a rebellion against family authority and a declaration of individual independence..."

Claire Danes was a little dumbfounded. Looking at Leo who was talking non-stop, she really wanted to slap him in the face and ask this damn playboy, is this the "inadequacy" of your understanding of the character?
Damn!

shit!

fraud!

I was right to reject this playboy. He is a big liar who is full of lies!

Well, this liar has his current status, it is one thing that he has a pretty face, but it is also inseparable from his acting skills. His acting skills are still okay. Can't you see that he has deceived himself?

Claire Danes comforted herself that maybe Leo is also a talented actor, so he can fully understand what Director Cao Yang said.

So, in order to verify her idea, she decided to find someone else to verify it.

Mark Ruffalo definitely can't do it. This guy has worked with director Cao Yang and won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Cao Yang's "Meanwhile Milk".

Yes, just find another little Karami Tom Hardy. This guy is so old and still not famous. He is definitely not a talented player.

"Hi, Hadi, you participated in Director Cao Yang's pre-shooting training throughout the whole process. I wonder what you think about the role you are going to play?"

Then, Claire Danes seemed to see a flash of excitement on Tom Hardy's face.

"Hello Dennis, I play the role of the pretender Eames. After Director Cao Yang's explanation before the filming, I have a good understanding of this role."

Claire Danes smiled and nodded on the surface, but she didn't quite believe it in her heart.

The character of the pretender Eames is one of the main characters and has a lot of scenes. Like the other two main characters, he appears almost throughout the entire movie.

She doesn't believe that a young actor like Tom Hardy can understand the role as thoroughly as Depp and Leo.

"As an assistant hired by Cobb and a well-known 'disguiser' in the industry, Eames' professional mission is to promote the dream-planting mission through disguise technology.

This can be seen from the fact that he can adopt different camouflage strategies according to different situations in different environments and dreams at critical moments.

For example, in the second dream, which is the hotel scene, he pretends to be Fisher's godfather Peters and guides him to trust the false narrative designed by the team through forged dialogues.

For example, in the third-level snow fortress, he disguised himself as an armed guard and used his dual identity to infiltrate the enemy's defense line. When Fisher's subconscious projection posed a threat to the dream, Eames needed to adjust his disguise strategy to resolve the crisis.

In the Snow Fortress raid, create chaos by detonating structures to give your team access to Fisher.

When the client, a Chinese tycoon, was on the verge of death and the mission was on the verge of failure, he took the initiative to propose to speed up the plan and use explosions to simultaneously wake up the members in multiple layers of dreams...

In addition to his professional mission, Eames also has a personal pursuit, which is to break through technological boundaries and consolidate professional values.

Eames regards difficult tasks as a test field for verifying ability. In the fourth level of dreams, that is, the subconscious world of Cobb and Meier, he tries to disguise himself as Meier to test the tolerance threshold of the deep subconscious for identity recognition..."

Looking at Tom Hardy who was talking nonstop and getting more and more excited, Claire Danes fell into deep self-doubt.

Why did everyone become so outstanding after Director Cao Yang's explanation of the play? Why did everyone understand the role so clearly?

Am I not the so-called "most compatible" person?

Does it mean that every actor who attends director Cao Yang’s play talk will become the “most compatible” one?
How can this be?

This unscientific!
