Chapter 911 1011. Hush
October 5th, Kyoto International Airport.
A plane that was about to fly to Canada was already full of passengers, all of whom were from the crew of "Inception".
There were a total of 310 crew members going to Quebec this time, so Huayi directly paid for a Boeing 747. In addition to the crew members, the crew's photographic equipment and other items also went to Quebec on the plane.
This trip to Quebec is expected to take two weeks. After the filming is completed, they will go directly to Alaska. It will take more than a month before they can return to China.
So many staff members prepared a lot of instant noodles and Lao Gan Ma in their suitcases, just in case they were not used to eating abroad. With these things as a base, at least they would not starve themselves.
When the plane arranged seats, Nie Wei and Zhang Ziyi sat together.
After three consecutive days of high-intensity filming, except for a pair of dark circles under Zhang Ziyi's eyes, she did not look tired at all, but was full of energy.
After getting on the plane, she was busy. First, she took out the prepared fruits from her carry-on bag and distributed them to everyone. Then, she took out a small can of tea from somewhere, asked the stewardess for hot water, and brewed a large pot of tea, which she then distributed to the crew members. Nie Wei also had a cup.
She didn't stop until the plane was about to take off and the stewardess reminded everyone to fasten their seat belts.
However, after the plane flew into the stratosphere, she started to chat with Nie Wei, who was reading a magazine, and asked Nie Wei with great interest about the story behind the photo uploaded by Zhou Xun.
"I saw something interesting online. Netizens guessed the meaning of the deck of cards on your table, and some people said that you were planning some big event. Tell me, what did you do in the box that day?"
Nie Wei looked at Zhang Ziyi blinking her bright eyes, and her eyes looking at him were full of curiosity. He sighed helplessly and explained the question that had been explained hundreds of times again.
"We are really just playing Landlords."
"I don't know who mentioned poker, and then President Han got interested. What else can we play if not Landlords? We are just playing a game to kill time while we are bored before the movie starts. There is no big plan."
"Really?" Zhang Ziyi glanced at Nie Wei and said doubtfully: "But you three big guys get together, and your time is so precious, and you just play Landlords. I don't believe it."
"Don't make yourself more dramatic." Nie Wei smiled and shook his head. He didn't care about Zhang Ziyi's doubts. He could see that the other party was joking.
However, the photo did bring some troubles to Nie Wei recently.
Three big guys in the entertainment industry got together, and they were just playing Landlords? What kind of story is behind this photo? This has become the most hotly discussed topic on the Internet in recent days.
Netizens have used their imagination to guess, and they have all kinds of guesses.
Some netizens even wrote stories about this photo, such as XX Fengyun and XX Legend, with ups and downs and exciting plots. The most popular articles even had more than 100,000 views. Although countless netizens agreed or questioned, the popularity did not decrease.
Occasionally, some people called on everyone not to think too much, but unfortunately, the closer the truth is, the less accepted by the public.
After all, in the eyes of many people, those big figures can't just have a meal and chat together. There must be some big plans, but they never thought that these big figures are also people, who also need to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep. Some dinners are really just to solve a physiological need.
Of course, as a member of the entertainment industry, Nie Wei was also mentally prepared, so the public took his photos for entertainment, and Nie Wei didn't explain much. Sometimes watching these netizens guessing blindly was actually quite interesting.
"Nie Wei, I have a villa in Quebec. After we finish shooting, I will invite everyone to my house for a dinner party. How about it?" After joking, Zhang Ziyi invited Nie Wei again.
Celebrities love to buy houses. Small celebrities like to buy houses in China, while big celebrities like to buy houses abroad.
Especially livable cities such as Canada and Australia are the favorites of these celebrities.
The previous US real estate bubble also affected neighboring countries, so taking advantage of the decline in housing prices, Zhang Ziyi had some spare money and bought a lakeside villa in Quebec.
This time she happened to go to Quebec for filming, so she wanted to take the opportunity to invite everyone to her new home as a guest, which was also a warm-house party. Of course, she also wanted to enhance her friendship with Nie Wei in this way.
"Okay, I'll buy the ingredients when the time comes." Nie Wei agreed readily.
"Then it's settled." Seeing Nie Wei agreeing readily, Zhang Ziyi said happily. What she feared most was that Nie Wei would be polite to her, because politeness means alienation.
Since entering the entertainment industry, Zhang Ziyi has really experienced too much.
From becoming famous overnight to being at the peak of her career, and then a few bottles of ink and a scandal pulled her down from the peak, she knows more and more how to choose her friends.
In her eyes, Nie Wei is a friend who is worth her deep friendship and careful management of friendship.
Whether it is Nie Wei's status or his personal qualities, Zhang Ziyi can't find any faults with him. During the time she worked with Nie Wei, she really benefited a lot from Nie Wei, and she also realized that some of her previous choices were too blind.
Nie Wei can feel Zhang Ziyi's "flattery" to him, and Nie Wei is also happy to deepen the relationship between him and Zhang Ziyi.
Nie Wei felt very comfortable being friends with this woman.
Because this woman is really smart, she will never touch your bottom line, and she is very careful about what she says and does. Being with her always feels like being in the spring breeze, especially after experiencing that negative news, she gradually learned to restrain her edge and became more friendly in dealing with people.
Just like this collaboration, the entire crew was basically conquered by Zhang Ziyi's charm.
The girls in the costume and makeup group pestered Zhang Ziyi every day, calling her Sister Ziyi all the time. Those who didn't know her would think she was Zhang Ziyi's assistant.
Among men, Zhang Ziyi's reputation is also very good.
The most common words Nie Wei heard were "I thought Zhang Ziyi would be the kind of high-handed look, but I didn't expect her to be so approachable."
Previously, the media praised Zhang Ziyi too highly. In fact, more than 70% of these reports were fabricated by the reporters themselves, and the halo imposed on Zhang Ziyi, but the audience could only understand this woman one-sidedly through these reports, and gradually created an unreal Zhang Ziyi, and turned her into a goddess Zhang Ziyi.
But when they approached the "goddess", they found that this "goddess" was actually like a girl from the neighbor's house. She would joke, make childish actions, greet them with a smile, and even call out her nickname. That kind of contrast really made people feel more favorable.
"The lake in front of our villa can still be fished. Nie Wei, do you know how to fish?"
"Do you think the villa I bought in Quebec will increase in price? I think it will definitely increase, but I don't know how much it will increase."
"What gift are you going to buy for Shu Chang..."
The two chatted for nearly an hour, and Nie Wei felt a little sleepy. Seeing Nie Wei's tired look, Zhang Ziyi gradually ended the topic. When Nie Wei woke up again, the plane was less than an hour away from the destination.
Then Nie Wei pushed Zhang Ziyi who was still sleeping beside him.
"Ziyi, we will land in less than an hour." Nie Wei reminded.
Zhang Ziyi had just woken up and was still a little confused, but after listening to Nie Wei's words, she patted her cheek to cheer herself up.
Although she knew that there would be no fans to pick her up in Quebec, she still had to pay attention to her image. After waking up, Zhang Ziyi went directly to the bathroom of the plane to simply make up, and then changed her clothes before returning to her seat.
"Nie Wei, have you prepared a coat?" Seeing that Nie Wei was only wearing a shirt, Zhang Ziyi asked with concern: "I checked the weather forecast. The highest temperature in Quebec is only 12 degrees, and it is even only 2 or 3 degrees in the early morning. Find me a thick coat to wear."
"Don't worry, I'm prepared." Nie Wei replied with a smile.
As a man who checks the weather forecast every day, Nie Wei certainly knows how low the local temperature is, so he naturally has to be prepared.
In fact, he didn't have to worry about it. After Shu Chang knew that her husband was going to Quebec, she immediately checked the local weather forecast and prepared a bunch of clothes for Nie Wei according to the temperature. Not to mention coats, Shu Chang even prepared two down jackets.
The plane landed at the airport at four in the morning, which was the coldest time of the day.
Nie Wei, who changed into a cashmere windbreaker, couldn't help shivering when he walked out of the plane. Zhang Ziyi beside him was shivering with cold, and her voice was trembling.
After all, she was still living in Kyoto with a temperature of 30 degrees yesterday, and in a blink of an eye, she flew to a place with a temperature of only 3 or 4 degrees. This temperature difference is not something that can be adapted to immediately with just a few clothes.
The airport was very quiet, and there was no lively scene of thousands of people seeing off when everyone boarded the plane. After all, including Nie Wei, no one had ever been active in Canada, so there would naturally be no crazy fans who would endure the cold and run to pick them up in the middle of the night.
"Ah, finally I don't have to be followed by so many cameras." Zhang Ziyi couldn't help laughing the moment she stepped out of the airport.
Nie Wei didn't agree. Such scenes are okay occasionally, but for people who are used to being pursued, if there is really less noise in life, they will be very uncomfortable and even feel deeply lost.
The crew did not stay at the airport for long. They took the bus that had been booked long ago and rushed to the hotel to rest tiredly.
Nie Wei didn't wake up until 10:30 in the morning that day. The first thing he did was to order a hearty lunch.
After lunch, Nie Wei called several assistant directors and cameramen of the crew to inspect the shooting site, and also asked the staff to confirm the shooting time.
Because the local shooting requires many public places, the time is naturally limited. Although it has been coordinated before, Nie Wei is very afraid that something unexpected will happen, so it is necessary to confirm again.
Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen. Everything went smoothly. Even the maple leaves in Quebec were very kind to Nie Wei. The maple leaves around all the locations where he filmed were about two-thirds red, and the remaining one-third had basically turned yellow. Nie Wei liked this layered look very much.
The filming date was October 7th in the local time. On the morning of that day, Nie Wei received good news that the box office of "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" had exceeded 300 million, and Huayi had already started preparing for the celebration banquet.
This good news put Nie Yiwei in a good mood. In addition, the weather was exceptionally sunny that day. Everyone in the crew was talking and laughing early in the morning.
The first filming location was a local university. Nie Weiwei also collaborated with an old actor from the UK. He played a professor and answered many of the protagonist's inner doubts.
Although this old actor is not well-known, his acting skills are indeed very solid. After all, his age has given him rich experience, and before he became an actor, he was a teacher by profession, so he is naturally very confident about this role.
Nie Wei's performance is as stable as ever.
The three scenes ended in less than two hours, and then the crew went outside the school to film a scene in a public basketball court where the protagonist and the front line team were exercising and talking at the same time.
When Nie Weiwei arrived at the stadium, the local police had already arrived to clear the stadium.
"Mr. Nie Wei, you only have one hour to shoot, please seize every minute and every second." Seeing Nie Wei's arrival, a person who claimed to be the person in charge of the local police station came over and said to Nie Wei.
Nie Wei nodded. One hour is definitely enough. There are only two scenes in this scene. Except for a little more lines, it is not too difficult.
Of course, time must be seized. After all, Nie Wei also spent money to use this basketball court. Not to mention the venue rental fee of 5,000 Canadian dollars, he also sponsored equipment worth 10,000 Canadian dollars to the local police. Otherwise, these policemen It's impossible to help the crew clear the scene so wholeheartedly.
Nie Wei looked around and saw some people wearing sportswear and holding basketballs watching indifferently.
"They should be here to play at this golf course." Nie Wei knew it in his heart. It was normal for these people to dislike his group. After all, the filming occupied their golf course and made it impossible for them to play. It was normal for them to feel unhappy.
Nie Wei didn't pay much attention and continued to tell the crew to get ready.
The filming started soon. Joseph was holding the ball and standing outside the three-point line, while Nie Wei stood casually in front of him and said his lines.
This scene was not originally focused on basketball confrontation, it was just a conversation about spiritual communication through this sport, so no one really focused on basketball. Nie Wei defended very casually, and Joseph was not a basketball player. Man, he took a few shots and threw the ball towards the basket, and the result was a three-pointer.
But the lines between each other were very good. Just when everyone thought that this scene could be passed in one go, a burst of boos suddenly came from the sidelines, accompanied by the sound of the basketball falling to the ground, which was particularly harsh.
Thanks to Fantasy Park, 0773 for the generous reward.
