0358 [Dream Machine]

The filming progressed very smoothly. Leonardo is a well-known actor who pursues acting skills. Liu Dehua has also been struggling in the entertainment industry for decades. The two can barely be called veteran actors, and they can handle this content in Tangier's plot.

A week and a half later, the crew successfully finished filming, packed up, and set off for the Canadian ski resort Calgary. Calgary is a mountain city located in the Rocky Mountains, where Banff National Park is located. "Inception" is to be filmed at the ski resort of Banff National Park.

It is not easy to obtain a shooting permit for Banff National Park and build buildings on snow-capped mountains. The clerk of Sasha Entertainment communicated with the park manager many times before he received the permit at a considerable price.

Because it is the peak skiing season, shooting will delay the opening of the ski resort. Therefore, the park management’s requirement is to open the shooting of movies for tourists to watch and replace skiing events.

For the beautiful scenery here, Wan Xiaohu finally agreed to the request.

Therefore, when the crew arrived shortly after New Year's Day, a large number of tourists were already stranded in Banff National Park, and a large number of fans were enthusiastic fans of the starring "Inception". The crew's bus just drove into the park gate and was warmly welcomed by these fans.

"Well (Okay), stop the car first, you go down to meet with the fans, sign an autograph, let's wait ten minutes before going to the hotel." In this situation, Wan Xiaohu is not good at ruining the scenery.

But, Leonardo, Allen Peggy, Liu Dehua, Zhou Runfa and others got off the car to sign, but he was hiding in the bus and enjoying the warmth of the air conditioner. In January, Canada is still a snow mountain, and the temperature is not low. It is best not to reach out without reaching.

Fans outside the car, when they saw their idols get off the car, burst into loud cheers and kept squeezing forward, wanting to hand the notebook in their hands to the idols for autographs.

"The enthusiasm of fans is still really strong." The driver sighed.

Wan Xiaohu then casually replied: "The real measurement of a star's value depends on his fans. If there are no fans, no matter how good the acting skills are, he can only play villains and supporting roles. With fans, even facial paralysis can also be used as idol dramas."

The producer on the side laughed and said, "Youths are the best to make money nowadays, and they are all obsessed with idols. In the era when we grew up, science fiction films are the king. Everyone is obsessed with the characters in the movie, the queen and the black warrior in "Star Wars", wow, I have a deep memory. Nowadays, kids, tsk. They are obsessed with the actors behind the movie. No matter what acting skills you have played or what bad roles you have played, they will also like you."

"So, the main offensive direction of Sasha Entertainment is the teenagers. "Twilight" is our pillar for the next five years, and we will continue to develop "The Hunger Games" in the future. We will target the teenagers."

Several people talked about fans, and then the topic shifted to recent shooting.

"It's not easy to live this period. I am not afraid of heaven or earth, but I'm a little afraid of the cold." Wan Xiaohu wrapped his fur coat.

"The planned shooting time here is not short. After all, it is the third dream space, so the difficulty is quite grasped."

"There is no way, overcome it! It is quite interesting to enjoy the snow scene occasionally, just try to experience the life of the Eskimos!"

"Tiger, stay in a hotel and have air conditioning. You can't experience the life of the Eskimos. It's better to set up a tent on the snowy mountain, which is delicious." The producer suggested.

"Well, since you can enjoy it so much, I will arrange for someone to return your hotel room and set up a tent for you in the photography area. By the way, you can also help our crew watch the equipment and save back and forth transportation."

"Uh, I remembered that I have old cold legs and can't sleep in the snow..."

Soon, ten minutes arrived. With the fans reluctantly, the actors returned to the bus and drove to the hotel in Banff National Park. The crew had a life producer and arranged everything in the hotel. The external producer found Wan Xiaohu and asked him to lead the starring actors to the hotel's conference room and accept interviews from reporters.

Wan Xiaohu is now the most popular director in Hollywood and a master figure who leads the science fiction trend. The $160 million blockbuster "Inception" directed by him naturally received strong attention from major media before it was finished. When he learned that the public shooting was in Banff National Park, the reporters could not sit still.

After getting off the car and getting into the room to change clothes, having a little light meal, Wan Xiaohu met with the leading actors and went to the conference room.

The content of this filming is the Battle of the Snow Mountain on the third floor of the Dream. There are not many actors, only a few starring actors who have left the country. Leonardo, Liu Dehua, Zhou Runfa, Allen Peggy, Sri An Murphy, and the rest are a few supporting roles who don’t need to show their faces.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a vast white space in front of me. The reporter's flash weapon was too powerful.

"Ten Thousand Directors..."

"Leonardo..."

"Liu Dehua..."

"Zhou Runfa..."

There are Chinese and foreign journalists, and they are crowded in small conference rooms, which makes Wan Xiaohu and others stand on the side of the wall of the conference room. Moreover, the microphones with long spears and short cannons in their hands seem to have to be stretched to the faces of the stars before they stop, for fear that their microphones would be far away and they would not be able to get the opportunity to ask questions.

"Don't worry, this time there is plenty of time for the reporter meeting. Everyone enjoys the air conditioner and take it slowly. Everyone has a chance to ask questions." Wan Xiaohu dodged the microphone and said helplessly.

When the reporters heard that everyone had a chance to ask questions, they shrank back.

Then a slightly chaotic but still orderly question began.

"Director Wan, I am a reporter from NBC TV. My name is XX.XXX. I want to know, will there be any directors in "Inception" be your performance? We searched for it from "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" but couldn't find you."

Wan Xiaohu pondered for a moment and said, "Everything is possible. I think I should appear in "Inception", but you need to find it. I can reveal that in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", I have had a wonderful performance. Well, I play an orangutan, Caesar's younger brother, and I have a close-up of facial expressions, although it is very short."

In the past, Wan Xiaohu was keen on playing supporting roles and had an addiction to acting. Now he has experienced more things and has no interest in acting anymore. The reason why he plans to play supporting roles in movies is simply to add a promotional gimmick. Some viewers just take this trick. In order to find Wan Xiaohu, they did not hesitate to go to the cinema several times.

During the release of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", many obsessive-compulsive fans went to the cinema repeatedly in order to find Wan Xiaohu. Then many movie fans online discussed what is the hidden part of Wan Xiaohu in the movie. It can be said that "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" has a global box office of 630 million yuan, and Wan Xiaohu himself also contributed a small contribution.

Moreover, we will make contributions to DVD sales. The final answer must be answered in the behind-the-scenes attached to DVD.

"Director Wan, you have not disclosed what kind of science fiction story "Inception" is talking about. Now it is open for filming. Can you tell us what this movie is talking about?"

"The foundation of this movie is a dream inception. The secret of this dream inception, we hide it in some small objects, and will be distributed for free to the hands of movie fans who have expectations for "Inception" at many comics and movie exhibitions this year and next year. I believe that with the wisdom of movie fans, it will only be a moment to unlock the secret of the dream inception."

Wan Xiaohu smiled a little meaningful.

Using Dream Inception as the main promotion is the plan developed by Sasha Entertainment Planning Department.

"Inception" will adopt viral marketing and spread some words through the Internet to attract the audience's curiosity. In the early stage, it will build several websites with introductions from Dream Inception, and then print these websites on T-shirts, hats, kettles and other souvenirs in QR codes.

Then, it is distributed to movie fans at comic exhibitions and film exhibitions around the world. What these otakus who like to attend comic exhibitions and film exhibitions like the most is that they will think about it without any trouble, and they will definitely find these QR codes, then scan it, and finally enter a specially set website.

At the same time, some small gyroscopes and USB flash drives will be distributed in various ways, and there will be hidden mystery in it, shifting the attention of movie fans to the website.

The first website is very simple, called the Dream Inception website. It contains an elaborate instruction manual for the "Dream Inception" and then some clues and tasks are placed, mainly to explain the possibility of Dream Inception. As long as these tasks are completed, you can jump to another website.

The second website is called the "Conscious Crime" website.

There is also a third website called the "What is Dream Sharing" website, which is hidden on the poster on the street, and then mainly introduces the source and theoretical basis of Dream Inception, trying to uncover the conspiracy of "Dream Inception", and eventually you can also jump to the "Conscious Crime" website.

Awareness crime website will be the main promotional venue for the movie. According to the release schedule, some posters, trailers, etc. will be released in stages this year and next year. To be the first to see these content, you must first complete some small tasks such as maze mini games to attract everyone's interest.

These websites will neither reveal the content of the movie too early nor tell it too profoundly, which makes people confused and bored. The main thing is to emphasize the two science fiction concepts of "your brain is the scene of the crime" and "dreams are also real".

Then find some experts who study dreams to explain these arguments and create a feeling that this is not an illusory movie, but a real scientific documentary!

In short, the promotion of "Inception" is a huge war.

"Ten Thousand Directors..."

The reporters had many questions, and the meeting lasted until noon before ending in a group photo that the reporters still wanted.

In this way, the shooting progress of "Inception" has been rapidly advancing.
Chapter completed!
