asks every day: when does
cinema open?
But I can't help but ask again:
cinema is open, what new movies are available, will the audience join in?
This worry is redundant because of a person's name.
He vowed to be the savior of the global film "city"-
Christopher Nolan .

, also known as the Tranquility Man, temporary translation: "Creed".
In fact, "Creed" is not re-fixed, but the schedule has not changed since last year-
July 17.
, a date that matches the title, has remained unmoved in the face of the epidemic.
You must know that other Hollywood giants are standing still, waiting for the film market to recover, ranging from several months to one year.
Nolan himself put down his ruthless words: do not withdraw the file, do not postpone.
and relying on it, "restore the order of the global film industry" . The idea of
was supported by the top executives of Warner Bros., the production company, and also received many help. Richard Geerfang, CEO of
IMAX, said in a previous conference call:
Nolan really wants to launch this upcoming movie. In the United States, no one has worked harder than Nolan to push theaters to reopen and let his films appear.
faced the risk of a US$227 million budget and bit to death.
"Creed" why dare to be the first to break the siege? The trailer for
has missed three points from the side. Isn't
looking a bit...
confused?
Nolan’s movie, you don’t want to see through it at a glance. Even after watching the movie, you have to convulse many times to figure it out.
So, want to find the answer from the trailer, it's no use.
What about the teaser?
Don't worry, Sir has three things to watch for you-
reverses time. The title "TENET" of
is a palindrome, that is, written in positive and negative order, both of which are the same word.
is specific to the story setting.
means that in the same space, two timelines flow in completely opposite order. These shots of
have left clues-in the background of
, there are both forward and retrograde trains.
The waves on the side of the hull do not surge upwards, but shrink downwards.
The most obvious is this paragraph.
A scientific researcher said to the protagonist: You are not shooting a bullet, but "catch" it .
raised the gun, the shell flew back into the barrel, a crater on the stone target in the distance was "filled", and the bullet flew straight back to the pistol.
in a flash.
removed the magazine, a good bullet.
It can be speculated that the "creed" in the film is a special item. The protagonist of
is selected and uses the "creed" to complete a certain task. How powerful is
's ability to reverse time? Use an analogy with
.
Even if you are Ma Baoguo, once you open the "creed", you can instantly reverse the situation and become a fighting master.
and set it to increase the level of brain burn to the philosophical level. In the
trailer, there is a line like this: "Time reverses, and we are here now, does it mean that it never happened at this moment?"
Advanced.
advanced. Sir carefully tasted the line
three times, and finally-
one. head. fog. water.
has never happened at this moment? clam?
Sir can't think of how Nolan would make it.
only hopes that this ability to reverse time and space can be retracted freely, otherwise it may be a little troublesome to go to the toilet.
Don’t say you can’t guess.
even the actor who read the script did not understand what he was acting-
Robert Pattinson finished the "Creed" in confusion.
However, there is such an interesting speculation right now-
"Creed" may be linked with "Inception" ten years ago. There are a few pieces of evidence for
.
1, the playing rhythm is almost synchronized.
From the announcement of the preview to the set time, the key time points of the two films 10 years apart are very consistent.
(very reasonable look...)
2, the aesthetic settings are consistent (simplistic).
In "Inception", the prop that connects to the dream is an infusion tube similar to an intravenous injection.
In the trailer of "Creed", the protagonist and the related props for controlling time are an oxygen mask. The aesthetic settings of
completely follow the minimalism of ordinary wards.
Needle tube, stethoscope, surgical kit?
or...
3, the lead surrendered. In an interview with the media, the protagonist of
, John David Washington, admitted that "Creed" and "Inception" have a certain connection.
I would say that there is a relationship between "Creed" and "Inception", they get together for Thanksgiving, family barbecue, and so on. In the
trailer, there is a line that is the same as Inception 10 years ago.
This association, whether it is the story level or the perception level, still needs to wait for the feature film to appear.
Speaking of the "creed" is the most exciting.
Sir believes that all Nolan fans will talk about it-
real shot crazy magic.
Nolan's request for the actual filming of the film is as stubborn as a straight man of steel who refuses to use his beauty. The protagonist in the movie
is chatting-
, do you plan to blow up a plane?
Don’t be naive to think that this is just a chat. At the end of the trailer,
saw the familiar "evil" operation that Mr. Nolan loved:
can be shot in real life, never CG.
He exploded a real Boeing 747.
△ In 2018, the same model Boeing 747-8 was quoted at US$4.029 million, equivalent to RMB 28.52 million.
originally planned to use model special effects + a small number of computer animations.
did not expect to usher in an impulsive consumption. When
was looking at the shooting location, the crew found that many old airplanes were available for purchase. After calculating the cost, they discovered that OMG is much cheaper than CG.
real shot madman Nolan is as happy as a child.
buy it!
Nolan’s director label, in addition to brain explosion and complex narrative, another is the extreme rejection of digital technology.
has a car chase in the trailer of "Creed".
The white vehicle is driving in reverse. From being knocked over to returning to normal driving state, it was another time for
to reverse.
Frankly speaking, in today's action movies, this scene is not grand. It is not difficult for
to perform through CG.
However, a video exposed on the Internet proves that Sir still thinks of Nolan simply...
Estonian studio, the crew covers the next highway, and all vehicles are driving in reverse gear.
It is conceivable that the rolling and crashing of the white car is not completed by CG, it is nothing more than the completion of one of the most primitive special effects means: upside down.
is only for following the most real physical laws and lens performance.
is not unexpected.
because there are only two ways to shoot blockbusters today.
is a special effect.
The other is Nolan.
Today, many celebrities are incarnation of technical madman .
, like James Cameron, is challenging the more realistic CG technology.
, for example, Lee Ang, broke the expressive limit of images with 4K120 frames.
and Nolan, is a conservative technical fear.
1. Stick to film shooting.
2, never CG can be shot.
told the outside world, he said:
3D technology is still immature, I don't like it, CG special effects should be limitedly used in the film as an auxiliary, instead of burning money to create meaningless visual wonders through CG.
real shot, notBurning money?
Before the "Creed" is served, Sir will take you to review Mr. Nolan's real shot scene .
He is not only a master of film.
is also the number one (destroyed) figure master.
The first "Dark Knight".
has so far occupied the top spot of Nolan's movie money burning list with an investment of 250 million US dollars.
money, where did you spend it?
opened the crew bill, too much money is incredible.
for example.
Batmobile is real.
is improved from the Batmobile that appeared in the previous song "The Mystery of the Shadow" and was crashed in this episode.
Batmobile remote control model is real shot.
Many action shots that are difficult to achieve with homemade Batmobiles, such as drifting and sharp turns, are completed by a 1/3-sized model remote control car.
At the same time, the crew will also completely restore the selection of props, location and brightness.
implements real shots.
bat locomotive is true.
can also hit the road.
Nolan made a model car and made a request to Party B: "You have to make it move."
Party B is dumbfounded: How can this thing turn?
After several weeks of production, no, it is research and development, testing and improvement. The results of
shipments far exceeded expectations.
In addition to these, it also includes most of the Batman armor, helmets, and cloaks that can be put into actual combat. The "Dark Knight" crew has almost contracted all the production capacity of Wayne Industries.
But beyond that, there are some bills.
may not be necessary.
For example, a brand new Lamborghini.
For example, there were only 4 IMAX cameras in the world.
Another example.
Build a hospital and blow up the budget of the hospital.
This is the craziest scene in The Dark Knight.
You are not mistaken, this is a real shot. The
crew spent three weeks designing the structure of this hospital.
also designed a variety of explosion methods-
small detonators to blow glass, gasoline cans to create flames, and directional explosives to destroy buildings.
Even, every splash of rubble is in the engineer's design.

thoroughly showed the most crazy and cruel side of the clown. Among them, a section of explosives stopped exploding, and the clown stopped to check and repeatedly tapped the long shot of the remote control, which has become a classic in movie history.
It was rumored that there was a problem with the explosion, and Heath Ledger improvised on the spot.
In fact, this is a rumor. The rhythm of
's entire performance is already the result of the arrangement and calculation.
On the day of filming, Heath Ledger rehearsed 12 times on the set before having this final real shot.
In this scene, you can never imagine the only CG.

had to use CG to make three or four layers of glass.
can you see it?
But, perhaps Teacher Nolan hates forever.
If the "Dark Knight" has always been shot, it is for the excitement and shock of the scene.
restores the physical world.
The real shot of "Inception" is for psychedelic and illusion.
is beyond physical reality. In the first scene of
, Leonardo fell into the bathtub while the dream collapsed and flooded into the castle.
Nolan’s original plan was to use a large water tank and pour water directly into the studio.
But after experimentation, even the professional stuntmen could not stand firmly in the water.
then switched to air cannonballs, and "punched" 15,000 liters of water into the air in turn to produce jet effects.
connects reality and fantasy.
is the biggest difficulty of Inception.
Of course, this forced Nolan to use CG to complete his ideas.
But some seemingly unimportant scenes are actually made by troublesome real shots.
A shot of less than 10 seconds.
The hotel in the second dreamland has a strange gravitational phenomenon.
just for this few seconds.
Nolan built a huge seesaw , and built this bar on this seesaw.
so that the world in the lens can be tilted by 20 degrees.
not only suddenly overruns the budget.
Even shooting has become a problem. It is difficult for
whether it is the staff or the extras to be natural at the oblique angle.
Am I pitting myself?
This is all considered light. In the
movie, the most influential thing is the mutual fight under the gravitational flip in the hotel corridor.

misses, it will miss the rotation and fall.
There are many movies about dreams.
But "Inception" is so biting, minimalist, and has a unique texture that justifies it.
only this one. How does
use images to create dreams?
Nolan’s creative logic is to return to the basics.
Over the years, we have tried more surreal transitions such as Rongjian, but I think that in the grammar of movies, simple editing is one of the movie techniques closest to the actual thinking of the brain.

The spacesuits worn by the protagonists of "Interstellar Crossing" have functions almost comparable to those of NASA: water-cooled circulation, air delivery, wireless intercom...

In the same way, a spaceship is "built" by shooting a spaceship. The spacecraft and space stations in the
film all use real materials (including the discarded lunch boxes of civil aviation airliners) and are designed and constructed in accordance with the living environment of real space.

is actually an honestly built spacecraft, which simulated a landing by a crane.
want to shoot a black hole?Then make one to make a real shot.
Remember the scene where the main corner entered the black hole and entered the "five-dimensional hypercube"?
Yes, this scene is also based on real shots.
According to the theoretical five-dimensional projection of the five-dimensional space in the three-dimensional world, a "hypercube space" was built in the studio.
Even the dynamic ripples stretched out by gravity in the lens are also realized through on-site video projection.

Actually, Sir even thinks that Nolan's paranoia is a bit sick...
But it is this paranoia that can create a world we can't even think of.
is not so much the pursuit of texture, this time detail control is more like a kind of fun.
In Nolan's films, there are really too many "useless" details that have no chance to show.
In the movie, there is a robot named TARS.

But Sir never expected...
its actor , Bill Owen, is a Hollywood actor.
Yes, it is played by an actor.
as it is: a puppet weighing ninety kilograms with a sports aid.
And, because of Nolan's habit of (hairy) on-site radio: During the filming, Bill was also operating the puppet while reading lines. Although
will be processed into machine electronic sound in the later stage.
Sadism, this is...
But, it is still not the most exaggerated.

He will be responsible for "creating" the most exaggerated man-made landscape in the movie. The corn field in front of the protagonist's family of

Why do you want to plant it now?
is not unaffordable, but unavailable.
is because the story is set: the earth's environment is extremely deteriorating, and the corn has to follow along with it.
So, corn can't grow vigorously yet.
Nolan’s demand is: to find a place that is not suitable for corn growth, but can cultivate corn, and plant corn hard.
You taste a product, is this human?
We really wanted to get some feeling
corn planted after so confusing "movie agriculture" operation, finally showing a movie cornfield appearance in
those places

If you look closely, you will find out. The cornfield in the movie

and reality.
root. this. No. What. What. difference. do not. what!
Who can tell that he is not very productive? !
The above glorious deeds have been proven.
The paranoia of a director can be so suffocating.
But at the end of this big inventory, Sir has to mention the "bad" habits of Nolan-
doesn't need a mailbox or a mobile phone.
only uses film to take pictures.
does not carry any electronic equipment.
except for this iconic, portable monitor.

Nolan, always wandering around and messing around on the set, insists on observing the camera from the first perspective.

no matter how small things are.
paranoid, nervous, carping.
is such a monster.
uses "real" to build a fantasy maze one after another, hunting your curiosity, deceiving your eyes, and reaping your admiration.
This is a game he is crazy about.
is also his belief in light and shadow.
Are people like Nolan too alternative?
actually.
In the hall of movies, he is not alone.
The worshipped idols all have their own reluctance.
Hitchcock is known for being demanding on actors.
exhausted all stimulating means to arouse the emotions of the actors. He once said such a rhetoric: "Actors need to be treated like livestock."

For example, when filming "Spartacus", hundreds of corpses are put on a sign, and the actors are not allowed to move; for example, when filming "A Clockwork Orange", the male protagonist is given eye drops every 15 seconds, causing him to collapse and cry at the scene; A scene from "The Shining", he called Jack Nicholson 61 times, "Do it again"...
