Song Qi is not in a hurry to start filming. The film he plans to make is really not that easy to make. There is a lot of preliminary work to prepare.

This time, he plans to hit his best performance in history, so naturally he cannot make a movie casually.

The movie he is planning to shoot is none other than "Inception", which is known as a brain-burning masterpiece and one of Nolan's trilogy!

Strictly speaking, this movie does not belong to the category of horror movies.

However, many viewers who have watched this movie will be led to doubt life by the complex and exquisite story settings in its plot, and even have doubts about the authenticity of reality and their own consciousness.

What is true? What is false?

Who can guarantee that the world we live in is not a huge dream?

This kind of doubt about everything will gradually destroy what people were sure of in the past, as well as the sense of security rooted in the belief, and then create fear from the depths of the soul about the world.

Sudden danger may cause people to have strong fear, but the tearing feeling that suddenly awakens after deep thinking can make people's souls tremble. This is the so-called extreme fear of thinking carefully.

The filming of this movie is very difficult and cannot be solved simply by relying on the system.

Just the completely different scenes in the movie cannot be shot in one studio, or even in one country.

If a director unfamiliar with the script was asked to shoot this movie, it would probably take a year and a half to prepare just for location scouting.

However, this is not a problem for Song Qi.

This had a lot to do with his two years of traveling around the world with An Qin. After recalling it, he basically determined where the scenes in the movie were suitable for filming.

He and An Qin had been to similar places and even left their contact information just for emergencies like today.

For example, the plot related to meeting Mr. Saito in the original film could be filmed locally in the capital. There are many similar skyscrapers.

The scene where the male protagonist tracks down the best disguiser in the industry can be filmed in the Sands City of Afi Country.

The cafe scene can be shot in Bari, the Principality of Europa, or in China.

The scene where the train enters the streets of the city center can be placed in Jinshan City in the Free Federation, where a complete urban railway track is still preserved.

The snowy mountain scene in the later period could have been placed in Cart's Lar in the Inca Republic. The ski resort environment there is very good and the facilities are very convenient, making it very suitable for shooting.

But the real environment is easy to solve, and some special scenes require serious efforts.

For example, the most complicated "weightless fight" scene in the movie had to be shot in a real hotel corridor scene that could rotate 360 ​​degrees, otherwise the actors would not be able to perform the results required by the plot.

At this point, Song Qi had to seek help.

It is not easy to build a scene that is exactly the same size as the real scene and can rotate in all directions. It requires the use of many large mechanical devices and sophisticated software control systems.

Although the Miracle Film and Television Base can build many scenes, the team has only been established for a few years, and the talent pool is not enough. It is not yet possible to build such a professional and large-scale scene.

Just because Miracle Film and Television Base can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it.

At least for Starry Sky Studio, which is recognized as the most technologically advanced studio in the industry, this is not a problem at all.

Starry Sky Studio is recognized as the technical ceiling in the industry and has a strong technical team, props team and scenery team.

It does not belong to a certain company, but is a studio built by several big players in the industry who pooled resources together.

Among these big guys, one of them is Jianghuai.

Sci-fi movies often shoot some weightless scenes, which require special means and shooting techniques to be shot in specific scenes.

There is a 5,000-square-meter black booth in the Starry Sky Studio, which is a shooting space often used by Jianghuai.

Jianghuai's famous and representative works are all science fiction masterpieces set in space, many of which were shot in this studio, such as "Star Destroyer: Dawn".

Song Qi visited the studio. At that time, there was a cockpit scene of the most famous starship "Feiyan" in the "Star Destroyer" series restored on a 1:1 scale.

JAC used a huge mechanical roller system to control the direction of the cockpit so that the actors in the cabin could perform performances similar to floating in space.

When he visited last time, Song Qi had his eye on this roller system and wanted to build one for the Miracle Film and Television Base.

But after asking about the price, he gave up.

This system is patented. If you want to buy a complete system of the same type, the price will start at least 200 million.

Spending 200 million to buy such a big toy feels a bit expensive even though Song Qi is rich.

Anything is worth it as long as it is used regularly and provides convenience to life.

This system has been used in many of Jianghuai's films, and it is certainly very cost-effective for him.

However, there are not many places where Song Qi can use this system. There is really no need to spend money on one. It is better to spend some money to rent and use it like other science fiction film producers, which is convenient and saves money.

Therefore, after Song Qi confirmed the film shooting project, he contacted Jianghuai and made an appointment through him to use the black studio and the drum system.

But even if Jianghuai helps him arrange it, if he wants to use it, he will have to wait until early December.

Therefore, Song Qi adjusted the shooting plan and planned to start shooting the scene in the cafe first.

It's already mid-October, and the weather has turned cooler. If we delay any longer, it will be winter in the northern hemisphere, and it will be difficult to shoot the scene in the cafe.

After some preparations, on October 21st, Song Qi finally set off and took the crew to the city of Bari in the Principality of Europa.

This scene didn't take long, but Song Qi gave a planned shooting time of nine days because the filming of this scene was quite difficult.

Song Qi estimated that it would take at least five days to shoot just that set of dreamy slow-motion explosion shots, not to mention other scenes.

There are many scenes in this drama, leaving Song Qi with not much filming time.

In order to reduce the difficulty of filming and save time, Song Qi personally played the role of the leading actor Song Ke.

The heroine of the movie is Hu Lanhui, who gave a wonderful performance in "Fatal ID".

The male protagonist's deceased wife's phantom in the movie is naturally An Qin himself.

She and Zhen Zhen also came to the Principality of Europa with the crew, but her role was very small, only one scene, so most of the time she took Zhen Zhen to play in the streets.

Zhen Zhen's reputation as the goddess of luck did not stop just because she changed places. When An Qin was visiting a newly opened local supermarket, she happened to come across a lottery.

She asked Zhen Zhen to pick a number, and she won the first prize directly, which was a three-day trip to the capital of Daxia, including round-trip air tickets and local hotel accommodation.

But this is indeed a bit funny to An Qin, who just flew over from the capital.

So, she changed hands and gave the numbered ticket to a housewife next to her who also had a child.
