    After breakfast, Zhang Chengyuan sent the Zheng sisters away, and then rushed to the crew to continue filming.  Three days later, he flew to Tokyo, Japan to meet the crew of "Inception."  This time, it is estimated that it will take at least one or two months to return to South Korea.  At noon on July 12, Zhang Chengyuan arrived in Japan and immediately met director Christopher Nolan, actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, and Marion in a hotel.  ?Cotillard, Ken Watanabe, Lucas Haas and other cast members.  Well, there is also his Hollywood agent Jon Bryan. Before Zhang Chengyuan has integrated into the crew, he naturally has to follow Zhang Chengyuan. This is his responsibility.  Except for director Nolan, it was almost the first time for Zhang Chengyuan to meet the other crew members. Of course, this did not mean that he could not recognize them at all, not to mention that his agent Jon Bryan had helped him do it before.  Even if he doesn't do his homework, Zhang Chengyuan can still recognize one or two, at least the famous Leonardo DiCaprio, who has starred in blockbuster or classic movies such as "Titanic", "Blood Diamond", and "The Departed"  ?DiCaprio, he definitely knows him. Although he seems to be much more weathered now than in previous movies and has gained a lot of weight, he is still quite handsome and charming.  In addition, Marion Cotillard, a famous actress who just won the Golden Globe Award, Oscar Award and other awards for Best Actress last year for "La Vie en Rose", is also familiar to him.  As for the other actors, sorry for his blindness, he really didn¡¯t have the slightest impression before doing the preparation work.  However, he will not despise them, because most of these people's popularity in the world, especially in the West, is not lower than him, and many of them are even much higher than him.  Although he is well-known in South Korea and even the entire East Asia, not many people know him in Hollywood and the Western world. At most, he is only a little famous in the hearts of some viewers who like kung fu movies.  but.  Despite this, with his character, he would naturally not belittle himself, nor would he be groveling to others, whether at this time or at any other time.  Fortunately, the Western world does not have the strict hierarchical system in Korea, so the crew members did not feel that Jang Chengyuan did not respect them enough.  On the contrary, I feel that he is neither humble nor arrogant, which is admirable. In addition, he has a strong body, handsome face and elegant demeanor, and speaks fluent and standard English. Therefore, I have a good impression of him, and I am very happy to talk to him.  And in order to be able to communicate better with them.  In order to make good movies, Zhang Chengyuan naturally did not hesitate to communicate with them more, and even used some special methods to allow them to quickly become familiar with him, so that they could develop some tacit understanding as soon as possible and reduce obstacles during filming.  The effect was obviously good. By the time we had dinner that night, Zhang Chengyuan was already quite familiar with most of the actors.  We even occasionally make harmless little jokes with each other.  After a night's rest, the filming of "Inception" began the next day. The shooting location was on the roof of a skyscraper in Tokyo and in a helicopter parked on the roof.  There are four main actors in this scene: Leonardo DiCaprio, Zhang Chengyuan, Ken Watanabe and Lucas Haas. There are also several supporting actors hired in Japan to play Ken Watanabe.  He plays the bodyguard of a Japanese tycoon.  Although before filming, the local government in Tokyo had very strict regulations on the flying height and flight route of helicopters, so it took a lot of time for the crew to apply for the right to use helicopters for filming.  But the filming of this scene went quite smoothly.  The four actors are all veterans of acting. Leonardo DiCaprio plays with ease, Ken Watanabe is experienced and domineering, Zhang Chengyuan is confident and calm, and Lucas Haas, who did not have a single line in this scene, also performed well.  Express your facial expressions and actions very naturally.  Of course, this is also because this scene is not very difficult.  But no matter what, the first scene was completed quickly and smoothly, which made director Nolan and the crew very happy.  And Zhang Chengyuan passed this scene.  People initially recognized his superb acting skills, and initially won their inner respect.  At least for now, his acting skills are not inferior to those of Leonardo DiCaprio and others, and his acting style is also very consistent with Hollywood movies.     in addition.  Director Nolan's directing style left a deep impression on Zhang Chengyuan. He usually only told the actors his shooting intentions, rather than directly telling them what to do or say, so he left a deep impression on the actors.  Lots of room for free play.  For an actor with superb acting skills and rich experience like Zhang Chengyuan, this is like a duck in water, and he can better display his own strength and maximum potential.  Soon after, Zhang Chengyuan also felt an interesting difference between Nolan and other directors he had seen - in order to allow the actors to act more immersively and realistically, Nolan also  Allowing the actors to understand the entire script in depth, he is the only one in the entire crew who has a complete script, while other actorsMost of them only have part of the script related to themselves, so that the actors can follow the characters they play, step by step like detectives investigating the case, and figure out the movie with their heads full of thinking.  ¡­ After filming in Japan for about ten days, the crew ended their scenes in Japan and then went to the UK to shoot some important scenes. Among them, there was a very complicated scene in a converted aircraft hangar in north London¡ª¡ª  The weightless fight scene in the hotel corridor.  In order to film this imaginative fight scene, the crew spent a lot of money to build a hotel corridor that can rotate 360 ??degrees, so that when the corridor rotates, the actors can fly down and down the wall for a while.  Sometimes they were on top, and sometimes they were fighting on the left and right sides.  And this scene happened to be mainly about the assistant of the dream thief played by Zhang Chengyuan. Zhang Chengyuan gave full play to his superb skills. It only took about an hour of rehearsal to fully adapt to the jumping in this environment.  , and then together with a group of stuntmen who had been trained for a long time, they performed a fierce, strange and wonderful action scene in this rotating corridor, which made the director Nolan and others very satisfied and praised them deeply.  I found the right actor, at least using Zhang Chengyuan to shoot this scene, which saved a day or two of shooting time.  In addition, since the filming started, Zhang Chengyuan has been very satisfied with all the scenes he has played, because he is the actor with the least number of NGs in the entire crew, whether it is literary scenes or action scenes; and, no matter what time he is, he can  Showing 100% concentration and acting skills is the most amazing and admirable.  Of course, if Korean actors saw this situation, they wouldn't be surprised, because they have long been accustomed to Jang Cheng-won's filming situation.  After filming the scenes in the UK, the crew moved to Paris, France, and Tangier, Morocco to continue filming.  Since there were not many scenes in these two places, Zhang Chengyuan asked the director to put his scenes together as much as possible and started filming first. After completing these scenes, he asked for leave twice to return to China and seize the time to shoot.  I did some scenes in "IRIS" and took some time to get along with some sisters.  Of course, these two periods are not long, adding up to just over half a month, but in only about half a month, he filmed five or six episodes of scenes related to him.  Although he himself was not very tired, he exhausted the actors and staff who worked with him. If the actors' roles could not be adjusted and staggered, Zhang Chengyuan promptly supported a group of film and television drama staff to the "IRIS" crew.  , and there are exactly two directors who can take breaks alternately, I'm afraid the entire crew will fall apart from exhaustion.  So everyone has some complaints against him, but with Zhang Chengyuan's current status, a few people dare to make irresponsible remarks to him face to face. As for secret discussions, it is definitely inevitable, but Zhang Chengyuan is too lazy to pay attention to it.  Just out of guilt, Lin Jixiu allocated some funds and manpower to the crew members to improve their food, accommodation, transportation, medical care and other aspects as a slight compensation.  The crew of "Inception" didn't care much about his departure midway. Anyway, it hardly affected the crew's normal shooting. After getting along with each other for this period of time, everyone's favorable impression of Zhang Chengyuan increased sharply, and even several of the main actors had already  I treat him as a good friend, so I don't complain about this little convenience that director Nolan gave to Zhang Chengyuan.  After returning to China twice, when Zhang Chengyuan returned to "Inception", it was almost mid-September, and the filming location had also moved to Los Angeles. Here, Zhang Chengyuan had a lot of roles, so he did not ask for leave again.  , worked conscientiously until the filming of all his scenes was completed in early November, and then officially left the crew.  During this period, "IRIS" had already aired eight episodes on KBS TV, and he was "unfortunate" to be absent from other related promotions - in fact, he was quite happy because it saved him a lot of time and effort in dealing with boring media.  tongue.  After he left, the crew of "Inception" moved to a mountain range near Banff National Park in Calgary, Canada for the last location shooting. Since Zhang Chengyuan did not have any scenes here, he did not have to follow him.  .  Maybe he will need to return to the crew only when the director feels it is necessary to let him come back to reshoot some scenes or when the film begins to promote the film.  The filming of this movie consumed Zhang Chengyuan's precious time for more than three months, and also seriously affected the filming process of "IRIS". In addition, Zhang Chengyuan also invested a lot of money in order to appease the emotions of the "IRIS" crew members.  However, it is not without gain. Not to mention that he has been appreciated by the great director Christopher Nolan, and may be able to work with him again in the future, or be recommended by him to other directors and producers; not to mention that this movie  When it is released in the future, it will greatly enhance his visibility and popularity. He has won many awards including Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, etc.  Actors' friendship expandedHis connections among Hollywood actors have already made his trip worthwhile.  It can be said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so he does not feel that he has suffered a loss or regrets.
