Chapter 302 "Interstellar Travel" begins filming.
July 24, Los Angeles.
The day before filming began for Interstellar.
Fu Yibai took Fan Binbin to a photography studio on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
The studio features the interior of the Eternal spaceship, including a circular corridor, cockpit, hibernation chambers, and biological laboratory. Every detail was replicated according to the drawings that he and the art team had worked on for half a year.
Fan Binbin stood at the cockpit door, looking up at the dense array of buttons and screens, his lips slightly parted.
"Is this where I'll be spending the next two months?"
"almost."
Fu Yibai stood behind her, his hand resting on her waist.
"Most of the interior scenes were filmed here."
Filming on location in Iceland won't start until the end of May.
January 25nd, 9:00 AM.
Interstellar has officially begun filming.
An offering table was set up at the entrance of the photography studio, with roast suckling pig, fruit, snacks, and tea—everything was there.
The incense in the burner was lit, and wisps of smoke rose up, dispersing into a pale blue mist beneath the towering ceiling of the photography studio.
Fu Yibai stood in front of the offering table.
Fan Binbin stood next to him in her costume.
Matthew McConaughey stood next to Fan Binbin, watching the opening ceremony from the mysterious East with a curious expression.
Michael Kane stood next to Matthew, his hair completely white, wearing a light blue shirt, and leaning on a cane.
The filming team from Franchise Films had worked under Fu Yibai many times and were already familiar with this mysterious opening ceremony.
But these actors, who were working with Fu Yibai for the first time, were seeing this scene full of oriental charm for the first time, and their faces were filled with curiosity and focus.
Fu Yibai picked up three incense sticks, respectfully raised them above his head, and bowed deeply in all directions.
Fan Binbin followed his example and also bowed down devoutly.
Matthew McConaughey blinked, then followed their movements, solemnly completing the ceremony.
.........
After the ceremony, Matthew McConaughey walked up curiously and asked in his Texas-accented English.
"Dear Mr. Fu, did those things just now have any special meaning?"
Fu Yibai answered with a smile.
"This is a prayer for a smooth shoot and a successful film."
It's like how some Western film crews pray before filming, only the form is different.
Matthew nodded thoughtfully, his gaze sweeping over the abundant offerings on the altar once more, a knowing smile appearing on his face.
The event staff began removing the offering table, and all departments quickly got to work.
Fu Yibai clapped his hands, the sound echoing in the empty photography studio.
"Lights ready, actors please take your positions."
"Scene one, shot one, action!"
Tails: "How did you find your way here?"
Cooper: "Where is my daughter?"
Tails: "You marked the coordinates here on the map."
Where did you get these coordinates?
Cooper: "Where is my daughter?!"
…………
Cooper: "Who are you?"
Brand: "Dr. Brand."
Cooper: "I know a Dr. Brand, he's a professor."
Brand: "What makes you so sure I'm not?"
Cooper: "He's not that handsome."

About 50 years ago, we began to detect gravitational anomalies.
Most of these distortions are caused by minor aberrations in instruments placed in the upper atmosphere.
In fact, I believe you yourself have experienced this.
"Yes, on the straight road."
Something interfered with my fly-by-wire system during that crash.

"Twelve possible planets, twelve rover spaceships, carrying the bravest astronauts..."
The first day of filming didn't wrap up until 8 PM.
Throughout the entire day, only half of the space agency's scenes were filmed, covering the entire meeting.
But this speed is already very fast.
The next three days were spent filming indoor scenes at the space agency.
Fan Binbin plays Dr. Brand, Matthew McConaughey plays Cooper, Michael Caine plays Professor Brand's father, and a host of other actors move back and forth in cramped conference rooms and laboratories, engaging in numerous dialogue scenes and delivering a great deal of information.
Today, the scenes finally entered the space station.
As for the actual scenes at the beginning of the movie, the cornfields were just beginning to grow.
When it grows to the desired effect, it should be around mid-June.
After filming began for "Interstellar," Fu Yibai practically lived in the studio.
This reminded Fu Yibai of when he was filming "Gravity".
Both are science fiction films, both involve extensive green screen shooting, and both require actors to perform against thin air, with all emotions relying on imagination.
On May 1, "No Man's Land" was released in the country.
With the support of the Berlin Silver Bear and Ning Hao's reputation, the film grossed 1350 million yuan on its opening day.
Although this is an award-winning film, it has a very wide audience because it continues Ning Hao's dark humor style.
The following day, box office revenue reversed its decline, earning 1500 million.
As word-of-mouth spread, the film grossed over 1 million yuan in just seven days after its release.
On May 12th, the weather in Los Angeles was already getting hot.
Fu Yibai is filming the scene in the studio where the Eternal spaceship travels through a wormhole.
This scene was one of the most difficult to film in the entire movie. The actors needed to express the fear, shock, and awe of traveling through time, but all they had in front of them was a green screen and a few flickering lights.
"Card!"
Fu Yibai put down the walkie-talkie and rubbed his temples.
"Take a 15-minute break."
He stood up and walked out of the studio.
Guo Zhenni followed and handed him a glass of warm water.
"Mr. Fu, have some water."
"Um."
Fu Yibai took the cup and took a sip. The warm water slid down his throat, taking away some of his fatigue.
My phone vibrated in my pocket.
He took it out and glanced at the caller ID: [Jing Tian].
