    For Wan Xiaohu and Su Ya, New Year's Eve means taking their children to meet relatives and friends and ask for lucky money.  The next day, the couple discussed taking Xiao Yangyang and inviting their younger siblings to go to the cinema to watch "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Awesome" together.  This Spring Festival, for children, what they hope most is to go to the cinema to watch "Xi Yang Yang" accompanied by their parents.  Wan Chengyang may not know any movies yet, and his eyes are not fully developed yet, so he cannot see objects clearly.  But Wan Xiaohu and Su Ya hope that they can take their son to the cinema and watch cartoons every Spring Festival until their son grows up.  Wan Xiaohu is definitely not a qualified husband. Besides, there are many women and busy careers, so he doesn¡¯t have much time to spread among several children.  Then it is particularly important to be able to insist on accompanying your children and doing one or two meaningful things every year.  On the third day of the Lunar New Year after the Spring Festival, Wan Xiaohu left the capital and returned to Banff National Park in Calgary, Canada, to continue filming "Inception."  At the same time, the 36th Annie Awards were awarded in Los Angeles.  "Wall-E", the second animated feature film produced by Abao Animation, unsurprisingly replicated the miracle of "Kung Fu Panda" and once again won most of the Annie Awards for animated films, becoming the number one Oscar favorite.  In addition, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" directed by Wan Xiaohu also won an award.  won the award for Best Character Animation in a Live-Action Film, recognizing the success of the film¡¯s chimpanzee Caesar.  Not long after the Annie Awards, the 81st Academy Awards were held at the Kodak Theater. Sasha Entertainment once again became the biggest winner after winning Best Picture for "The Departed" in 2007.  "Slumdog Millionaire", released last year, has a special theme and idea, a legendary story of a poor boy's wealth.  It fits the mentality of Americans currently affected by the subprime mortgage crisis.  For the second time, Sasha Entertainment took home the Oscar for Best Picture, as well as Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Original Song, Best Score, Best Sound Effects, Best Cinematography and Best Cinematography.  Director, a total of eight awards.  In fact, throughout the entire awards season, "Slumdog Millionaire" received a total of 105 nominations and won 79 awards.  A veritable ¡°millionaire¡± during the awards season.  As you can imagine, it was the day after the Oscars.  How much media touts Sasha Entertainment.  An independent film company that has been involved in film production for less than six years has already won the Oscar twice in 2007 and 2009. This is the rhythm of becoming the next Miramax.  Miramax Pictures was once a legend in Hollywood. Under the leadership of the Weinstein brothers, it dominated the Oscars and produced numerous award-winning films.  "Compared with distributing literary films as its specialty, Sasha Entertainment is more committed to making money. In just a few years, it has produced blockbuster movies one after another.  A great company on the rise.  ¡­ ¡­ Cardington is a suburb north of London, England.  Since the beginning of the last world, this has been London's airport. Later, part of the airport was abandoned due to urban planning.  Now it has been converted into a photography base, which houses the world's largest photography stage.  Any scenery can be modified on the stage. Since the old airport has enough space, you can also conduct all-round tests at will to ensure that the shooting requirements can be met from all angles up, down, left, and right.  The crew of "Inception".  Just because of this benefit.  Bang, bang, bang.  Clang.  The sound of machinery running echoed throughout the set.  In the greenhouse on the stage, workers are debugging a very strange piece of equipment.  "What materials are used for the set, and can it ensure safety?" Standing under the steel equipment, Wan Xiaohu touched the materials inside with his hands.  This set.  It is actually a hotel corridor, wrapped in a steel frame and placed in a pulley brush system.  After filming in Canada ended, the crew officially moved to Cardington, London.  Now in front of Wan Xiaohu is a huge pulley brush system.  As the name suggests.  The pulley brush system is a large support frame that can rotate, like a huge barbecue grill.  The hotel corridor built inside is a weightless fight scene in the movie.  In the second-level dream, affected by the dream on the upper level, gravity is disrupted and turned upside down.  In order to create a scene where the actors are standing and fighting on the roof, the center of gravity has to be constantly changed, so a rotatable corridor can only be built here.  We also need to build a bar tilted 30 degrees and an upside-down hotel room.  "Our original idea was to have a 40-foot-long corridor, but due to problems with the angle and depth, we ended up building a 100-foot-long corridor. On the outside of the corridor's wall, eight concentric rings were placed at equal intervals to make the corridor  Suspended and able to rotate outside the walls of the corridor, these rings are formed byTwo huge engines operate.  ¡± Special effects director Tris Cobod explained: ¡°The speed of this rotating set can basically reach a speed of 8 cycles in 1 minute.  It can ideally create a weightless effect.  But to ensure the actor's movement, we need a lot of wires to fix and lift.  " Even in the pulley brush system, there is not much guarantee for the stability of the actor's movements. Although computer special effects can make up for it, it is not as good as using wires to fix the body and bring more realism. "Inception" wants  The most important thing is the real audio-visual shock. If we can reduce unnecessary special effects, we will try to reduce them as much as possible.  " "Don't worry, director, because the actors have to be bounced around in our scenes, we use soft materials to build our sets.  Fortunately, many modern hotels now use leather or textiles to cover their walls during interior decoration.  We just need to imitate this decorative style and replace the bricks at the back with soft filler.  " Wan Xiaohu nodded with satisfaction: "Despite this, you still have to pay attention to whether door handles and lamps are 'fragile' and whether they can be successfully destroyed by strong force. In short, the safety of the actors must be ensured.  " "Okay.  "The filming of the hotel corridor started on the second day. Early on, the crew began to install wires for the actors. "Bob, when you push the gyroscope out from the guide rail, remember the depth of the lens I mentioned.  Don't push too fast. I'll watch the monitor later to tell you to move forward and back.  "Wan Xiaohu assigned tasks to the photography team. Because it is in the pulley brush system, in order to maintain the stability of the shooting picture, the camera is still fixed with a gyroscope. A gyroscope is a fixed camera device that can rotate. When the pulley brush turns the top of the corridor toward  When a person stands on it, the gyroscope will change the direction of gravity to create an inverted visual effect. ¡°So, we will adopt a fixed position for the second camera position?  " "Okay, wait and see the effect. If it doesn't work, add a set of guide rails and gyroscopes.  " Seeing that all the preparations were done, Wan Xiaohu stood under the pulley brush and confirmed again that the actors were in place. He shouted start. " Kang, Kang, Kang! " The pulley brush started, like a merry-go-round, slowly  Whispering, although the speed was very slow, the sound of the wind was not small, and the sound of the bearings suddenly echoed throughout the set. Wan Xiaohu picked up the safety helmet on his head and rubbed it.  Put it on again, and then stare at the monitor at the far end of the corridor. The action director is sitting on a special seat, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, constantly instructing the actors on how to act.  The intercom is connected to the loudspeaker in the corridor, otherwise the actors would not be able to hear it in such a noisy situation. ¡°Stuck!  Gordon.  Your position is wrong and your behavior is not natural. Keep your arms more natural and don't be affected by Wia!  "    "Card!  Leonardo, pay attention to the angle.  I can¡¯t take a picture of your face!  "    "Card!  Andy, get back to your position quickly and shoot!  " "Stop, stop, stop!  Stop it all!  Rearrange it, it¡¯s so messy!  " "Okay, let's do it again!  "    "Card!  Don't worry about whether you can stand or not, complete the movements first and you won't fall!  " "Very good, this set of shots has passed, let's change to the next one!  ¡± The filming was stumbling at the beginning, but finally after a period of exploration, the actors adapted well, and the progress was greatly accelerated. A month later, cheers came from the Cardington studio, located in this abandoned aircraft  The filming on set was all over and the crew packed up and headed to Paris, France the next day. After shooting in Paris for half a month, the crew returned to Los Angeles and spent another half month. When the time entered May, "Theft"  The crew of "Dream Space" came to the magical city of China. The final part of the movie will be completed in the magical city of Chongming Island. When the big-name stars of the crew arrived in the magical city, it can be imagined that the entire airport was surrounded by countless fans.  The media, waving slogans, colorful flags or microphones, welcomed the arrival of the superstars. Except for Natalie Portman, the one who received the most welcome when they came to China for the first time was naturally Leonardo.  DiCaprio and Natalie Portman, as well as Chinese stars Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau, needless to say, they cheered. But to the regret of reporters and fans, director Wan Xiaohu did not appear at all.  I didn¡¯t take this flight. Instead, I stayed in the United States and took the time to get there.The completed "Time Planning Bureau" was edited and then used for publicity.  The schedule of "Time Planning Bureau" has been finalized and will be released simultaneously in North America and mainland China on July 10, 2009, competing for summer slots.  Needless to say, in mainland China, Wan Xiaohu can release it whenever he wants. In North America, we are not so lucky. This year¡¯s summer blockbusters are packed with movies. The first two weeks of "Time Planning Bureau" are "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen"  ¡± and ¡°Ice Age 3¡±, and the following week is ¡°Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince¡±.  With such a luxurious lineup and a Chinese-language film with no lineup like "Time Planning Bureau", even if it has Wan Xiaohu's name on it, it can only rely on the tiger's mouth to grab food and depend on luck to grab the box office.  In fact, Wan Xiaohu originally did not want to come to the summer season to compete with special effects blockbusters, but in August and September this year, several movies released in North America were very good and had strong box office capabilities, such as "Special Special" released in August.  The Force: Rise of Cobra".  The number of moviegoers in the off-season is very small, and there cannot be too many movies competing for the box office, so Wan Xiaohu decided to try his luck in the summer season.  "Okay, I have edited the trailer. There are three versions in total. You can release it to the media and the Internet at different times." Stretching, Wan Xiaohu ordered his assistant.  (To be continued)
