Millennium director

Los Angeles, Hollywood filming district.

In a filming building next to the "White House", the crew of "The Martian", which was founded not long ago, is intensively preparing for filming.

"Hey Daniel, I'm here."

"How's it going? Not bad, right?"

Matt Damon, wearing a leather jacket and jeans, slipped into the shooting area with his hands in his pockets.

"Hey, Matt."

"How did you come."

Wu Yuan, who was sitting behind the monitor and directing the adjustment of the camera position, raised his head in surprise and said, "I won't have any scenes with you these days. Didn't I tell you not to come?"

According to the shooting schedule of "The Martian", the first half month of shooting is mainly for NASA scenes on the ground, which has nothing to do with Matt Damon, the scientist who was left behind on Mars.

Film shooting here in the United States is different from that in China. Generally, actors who don’t have roles will not come to the set.

Filmmaking is similar to a slightly special kind of job, with an eight-hour working day and a punctual commute to and from get off work. Those who have scenes come to work and then leave after filming. Those who don’t have scenes are treated as a holiday.

It’s the same as clocking in to work.

Who would come to the company on their day off when they are working in the company?

Therefore, Wu Yuan was very surprised when he saw Matt Damon appear.

"I'll come over and take a look." Matt Damon shrugged: "This is the first time I've made a movie where I'm the protagonist but there was no scene in the first half month of filming."

"I have to say that this experience is quite special. I only had this experience when I first debuted and played a small supporting role. I miss it a bit."

"Ha." Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "I hope that when you are all alone in the future, your mentality will be as good as now."

"The Martian" was not an easy movie to shoot.

This movie has a lot of scenes shot in the desert, and Matt Damon has to wear a 20-pound spacesuit, which will definitely be very tiring.

However, Wu Yuan looked Matt up and down for a while.

Matt has been working hard in the past few months and is now in great shape. His biceps and chest muscles are bulging, and he looks like he will be able to hold up well.

"I'm ready." Matt Damon made a strong movement and said with a playful smile.

"OK, all units are ready. The first shot of the first scene begins!"

"The Martian" was launched in North America in such a low-key manner.

There was no launch press conference, and no press releases were deliberately issued to promote the film. The filming started in a building in Hollywood that had been transformed into something similar to NASA headquarters.

Because Wu Yuan is not an American director, compared with the original version of "The Martian," Wu Yuan did not receive much support from NASA. Although there are also NASA scientific consultants to provide scientific support, and there are also consultants to help restore some of NASA's majors ing things.

But Wu Yuan was not able to directly visit NASA's headquarters like the original director Ridley Scott and received full support from NASA.

Wu Yuan still remembers that 50 pages of Ridley Scott's "The Martian" script were all about NASA details, and it took the crew 21 days to shoot the NASA details.

Wu Yuan cannot be compared with him.

However, he is not a person without support behind him. The domestic China Space Administration also provided technical support to Wu Yuan. At the same time, because he has the memory of the original movie, Wu Yuan can also know some details that originally required detailed communication with NASA. Without communication, just write it directly into the script.

As for whether NASA will wonder why Wu Yuan knows NASA so well after it is released, he even knows the real name of NASA's supercomputer platform - Pleiades.

Then let NASA slowly guess.

Anyway, this kind of secret that is not a secret is not completely unknown. At least the influential space science experts in the circle and the biggest rival next door, the China Space Administration, must know it.

Wu Yuan is not afraid of having his water meter checked by the CIA.

In this way, the filming of "The Martian" was on track.

However, even if Wu Yuan deliberately kept a low profile, many media reporters were still staring at him.

Since the release of "Interstellar", its global box office performance and reputation have made Wu Yuan the world's best director of hard-hitting science fiction films.

Perhaps the box office performance of "Interstellar" is not as impressive as that of "Avatar". The hard and in-depth plot and content of the movie also make this movie naturally unsuitable for audiences of all ages.

But it is this kind of hard science fiction depth that makes Wu Yuan's level of professionalism much higher.

Just like Nolan became a god in the original time and space with "Inception" and "Interstellar".

Wu Yuan has also become a god in the global science fiction film field with "Gravity" and "Interstellar".

These days, there are really too few directors who can really produce good hard science fiction blockbusters, so few that there are only two people, Nolan and Wu Yuan.

Ever since it was revealed that Wu Yuan's new movie will be a science fiction movie, countless pairs of eyes have been staring at him throughout North America and even the world.

Even though there was no special promotion, as soon as "The Martian" was launched, the news was learned by media reporters, and a large number of reporters came to the set with cameras.

A lot of gossip about Wu Yuan's new movie "The Martian" is flying everywhere online and offline, whether it is true or false.

Hollywood is the birthplace of paparazzi.

In less than two days, the list of most of the starring actors participating in this movie was revealed by so-called "informed people".

The combination of Matt Damon x Wu Yuan also made many North American fans shine.

"Daniel finally worked with a really big-name actor!"

"I thought Daniel was going to find an unknown actor to play the leading role like he did in "Interstellar" again."

"Wow, the collaboration between Matt Damon and Daniel is really exciting."

"Is this time Matt Damon is going to be a spy in space?"

"It's also possible that he goes into space to save the world."

"The movie is called 'The Martian' and it's obviously a space disaster movie like 'Gravity'. Maybe Matt plays a hero who will rescue victims in space?"

"A space version of The Bourne Supremacy?"

"No, Daniel will not make such a superficial movie, maybe it will be a more in-depth "Avatar"!"

Discussions about "The Martian" are abuzz on the North American Internet.

Matt Damon saw that the news of the launch of "The Martian" had spread all over the street. With Wu Yuan's consent, he simply retweeted a BBC article about "The Martian" on his Twitter after holding it in for a long time. 》Report on the launch, commented:

"Yes, I joined Daniel's new movie, which is full of challenges for me, but I am confident that I can make this movie well."

"Daniel is a very good director, and I am really happy to be able to work with him!"

"This is a movie that only concerns one person's life, but highlights the value foundation of the entire human civilization. Please look forward to it!" (End of Chapter)
