Huayu: Starting from "The Heavenly Bodyguard"

Chapter 131 Dream Space

The two generals initially thought that Shen Danu insisted on taking the crew on bicycles, and that he wanted to sell the used bicycles to supplement his family's income.

Having witnessed how those blind boxes worked, how could Shen Mo miss out on the opportunity to be the one in charge?

Now, Wula Cao's daily expenses are entirely covered by Shen Daniu'er's bicycle trading to supplement the family income.

A mature industry chain needs to be established, encompassing everything from taking the photos to their release and circulation in the secondary market.

The two were at the roast duck restaurant when Qian and the others didn't show up. So they called their informant and found out that the bastard was out partying again.

Finally, the two generals cursed each other from afar, ordering him to hurry up and come to the roast duck restaurant. Shen Mo was still a little unsatisfied.

He was telling those ignorant foreigners how the Boxers treated foreigners like roast ducks, hanging them all on the city gate towers.

Tianxian Baobao was happy to watch Shen Daniu fool people, and she was so happy that she grinned from ear to ear.

When Yang Tianzhen arrived at the private room, he noticed that none of the people there looked too happy.

She is the general manager of Wula Grass. The boss is unreliable, and she has to find a replacement.

When the roast duck arrived, in an attempt to break the awkward atmosphere, Erpang Yatou began to explain to everyone from the beginning how roast duck is made.

Especially how to bake it in the oven until it's golden brown and crispy.

She was initially confident in trying to lighten the mood, but the more she spoke, the worse the foreigners' expressions became.

Bell couldn't help but turn pale.

Nolan was now feeling very excited. Damn it, was this Shen Daniu toxic? And the people in his company didn't seem quite right either.

Damn it, we're all good kids, why do we have to suffer like this?

The angelic baby who witnessed the whole thing felt like rolling on the ground, but she held back for the sake of her image.

Now that Yanzi is by my side, rolling around on the panel is no different.

It burrowed straight into the swallow's broad chest and began baring its teeth without any regard for its image.

The meal was quite lively, but no one touched the roast duck.

Shen Daniu realized this wasn't going to work; it was disrespectful to him as the host. He quickly gave Zhang Jin a knowing look.

Zhang Jin kept his eyes fixed on his nose, his nose focused on his heart, and remained completely still.

Shen Daniu held up his Motorola V3, showed Zhang Jin a phone number, and whispered in his ear, "I told..."

You, a former Miss Hong Kong, are still an A8, don't force me to push myself to the limit.

"Son of a bitch!"

Finally, Zhang Jin reluctantly pulled a bag out of his pocket, which contained a plastic bucket.

As soon as the sweet drink arrived, Shen Mo immediately began to serve it.

After a hearty meal, Nolan felt his tongue was a little numb and his head was a little foggy.

But with his strong willpower, he still mysteriously pulled Shen Mo closer and asked him to confirm something.

This matter has been keeping him up at night lately.

So, is the script for "Inception" registered by Shen Mo?

Shen Danu let out a burp, his mouth smelling strongly of duck.

Damn, these foreigners have such a high alcohol tolerance; my little sweet drink hasn't kicked in yet.

It seems that only through trials and tribulations can one make it in Hollywood.

Nolan's mind is in a mess right now, but he has no choice but to bow his head when he's under someone else's roof. Ever since he saw the script for Inception on the "blacklist," he felt that he had to make the movie himself, or he would regret it for the rest of his life.

The "blacklist" in this Hollywood script doesn't mean a blacklist in the literal sense.

The Hollywood Blacklist is the most authoritative and influential annual list of unfilmed screenplays in the global film and television industry.

It is considered the "ultimate standard" for top Hollywood scripts and a "stepping stone" for new screenwriters to break into new circles.

Initiated by Franklin Leonard in 2005, it is announced on the official website every year on the second Friday of December.

The purpose of creating this "blacklist" is to discover high-quality unfilmed scripts that have been overlooked and to break down the information barriers between screenwriters and production companies.

The initiator's original intention was to solve the industry pain points of "difficulty in finding good scripts and difficulty for newcomers to get ahead". He sent emails to 75 development executives to solicit the best unfilmed scripts of the year, just to find reading material for his Christmas holiday. As a result, the list quickly spread throughout Hollywood.

The name is a double entendre: it pays homage to the "Hollywood Blacklist" of screenwriters who were blacklisted during the McCarthy era, and it is also a self-deprecating reference to the founder's African American identity.

The list was now compiled by a vote of approximately 500 anonymous development executives, producers, and script development leaders in Hollywood.

Since the list was established, over 440 of the screenplays have been adapted into films, generating over $400 billion in global box office revenue.

In the Oscars, it has been unstoppable, accumulating over 300 Oscar nominations and over 50 Oscars, including 12 Best Screenplay awards and 4 Best Picture awards.

The King's Speech, Juno, The Social Network, The Imitation Game, Spotlight, Manchester by the Sea, and The Girl with a Bright Future are all from this list.

Nolan's studio contacted the author named Joker Shen through a blacklist, but the other party has not responded for a long time.

Nolan had a few drinks today, and although his head was spinning, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.

I feel like that Joker Shen is just silent. A normal person who hasn't eaten mushrooms couldn't possibly write a script like that.

That's when he mysteriously came to ask Shen Daniu.

Nolan now dreams about scenes from Inception every night when he goes to sleep.

The effects of the sweet water gradually became apparent, and Nolan felt the world turning upside down and his dreams being eroded.

The feeling of being top-heavy and lightheaded instantly sparked a flood of inspiration.

We need to use IMAX cameras to film those scenes where dreams are shattered.

Using the most realistic physical filming techniques to present the most absurd dream logic, the audience accepts the "impossible" through "seeing is believing," thus becoming completely immersed in their own dream labyrinth.

In the scene with the rotating corridor, Nolan built a 100-foot-long real corridor that could rotate 360 ​​degrees. The actors performed the fight scenes while the corridor was rotating in real time, without stunt doubles or green screens. The camera rotated in sync with the space to create an absolute sense of weightlessness.

For the folded scenes of Parisian streets, he wanted to first shoot real Parisian street scenes and then use lasers to scan the buildings, and then synthesize the folded effect frame by frame to preserve the real light and shadow and perspective.

The explosion in the cafe inside was filmed using compressed air cannons to spray real materials such as rubber and foam, demonstrating the impact of the explosion.

In an instant, Nolan felt as if the sea in front of him had been split in two.

He shouldered a heavy responsibility and moral obligation, and had to bring those miraculous scenes to the world.

Seeing Shen Danu'er's lifeless appearance, Nolan urged him anxiously.

"Did you actually write that script?"

Shen Daniu handed Nolan a piece of salt-baked duck carcass and said slowly, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

Nolan's eyes turned bloodshot, and he grabbed Shen Danu'er by the neck, roaring angrily, "You damned Joker!"

"Speak! State your greedy conditions!"
