MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 248
A little bit of money is saved there, and it's not really happy to change any director.
After listening to Dawson's question, Christopher Nolan knew that this was the last level before meeting Kevin.
After organizing the language in his mind, Christopher Nolan said:
"Because I am a commercial film for making money."
Christopher Nolan is a huge fan of Kevin.
And it all started with Batman The Dark Knight.
Christopher Nolan has been madly obsessed with Steve Kevin's movies ever since he saw Batman The Dark Knight.
Pull the film, look at Kevin's way of filming, as well as the language of the lens, as well as Kevin's philosophy.
He also probably understood the various ideas of Steve Kevin.
Therefore, he knew what Kevin valued most.
As soon as Christopher Nolan's words came out, Dawson knew immediately that the first film of Morning Sun Pictures' foreign investment was about to appear.
A director who understands that his film is for making money, plus a mature film plan, the film produced should be more or less reliable.
Of course, the judgment of this step is left to Kevin.
"Okay, I'll ask the secretary to take you to Kevin's office later."
"Whether or not we should invest in your film, Chen Xi Film, depends on the opinion given by Director Kevin.
Christopher Nolan nodded.
My heart is also lifted up, we must seize this opportunity.
・・・
Inside Steve Kevin's private office.
Kevin is playing a computer game.
I have to say that until this time, Kevin felt a little bit of the feeling of the Internet age.
Although the games of this era are slightly boring compared to the later ones.
But Kevin also found some part of his childhood fun.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and Kevin turned off the computer.
In front of outsiders, you still have to pay attention to your appearance.
That is, Mitt, Schneider, Downey, Cage and others can see what he looks like in private.
Of course, including his girlfriends.
As for other people, it is naturally impossible to see this image of him.
Chapter 363 Invite Nolan to the Dawn Movie
On the Internet, there used to be a trend of advocating every move of the rich.
For example, a certain Jiacheng, who eats a healthy meal, has been advocated for saving and maintaining health.
In this regard, Kevin just wants to say that when others eat a big meal, they don't know where they are.
I need you to advocate.
The physical work done by the laborers, what kind of work you do in Jiacheng.
It also advocates health preservation and makes people vegetarian.
Really disgusting.
After all, these messy marketing is to make money.
Although Kevin is at the top of the capital society and has a very comfortable life, if Kevin is from the middle and lower classes, he really doesn't want to live in the capital society.
To put it bluntly, in a capitalist society, only a small part of the top upper class is human.
The other bottom and middle layers are nothing but leeks.
The so-called middle class is nothing but a trick used by capital to differentiate ordinary people. The key is that ordinary people really eat that trick.
Born in a capitalist society, if you are not at the top, you can only live...
Just by looking at the performance of various countries in the disaster that happened in 2020, you can see how unreliable capital is.
Of course, when thinking about these things, the core idea is that Kevin has an external image and an internal image, and it is not advisable to brag about it.
The luxury behind the rich is the norm. Occasional simplicity is just an occasional one, just like Wang Gongzi exposed his father's coercive act, what about working 18 hours a day.
Obviously it was a busy day that day, so it was advertised as being so self-disciplined and working so hard every day.
The thought went by in a flash, and Kevin packed up the evidence.
This is how:
"Come in."
At the door, Dawson's male secretary walked in, gave a brief overview of the situation, and then handed Christopher Nolan's film project plan and script to Kevin, before turning around and leaving.
Christopher Nolan was obviously a little restrained in front of Kevin, and his face was no longer so confident when facing Dawson.
"Sit down, don't be nervous."
The moment he saw the name on his resume, Kevin became more kind than ever.
No way, the name Christopher Nolan is doomed to Kevin's attitude towards him.
As the director of Batman The Dark Knight and Inception, two commercial films with good box office reputation, he is one of the few directors who can grasp the core of commercial films and so-called art films at the same time.
Such people are rare in the film market.
Of course, it is also a high-quality director that Chenxi films lack.
The moment he saw the name, Kevin decided to keep him.
Christopher Nolan saw that Kevin was so polite, and his nervousness eased a little.
He used to think he was a big heart until he met Kevin, one of the most powerful directors in the world.
Only then did he discover that he just hadn't seen the big man he really recognized in his heart.
When he saw Kevin, the top director he recognized in his heart, he felt a little nervous and uneasy in his heart.
In case of being praised by Steve Kevin, what kind of appearance should he treat, in case of criticism, what should he do.
Following Kevin's words, Christopher Nolan nodded, sat down, and waited quietly for Kevin to finish reading the project book and script.
and gives his conclusions.
Kevin looked at the script and the project book with admiration in his heart. It was the familiar Christopher Nolan.
In a word, it is the right taste.
Directors have their own unique style.
For example, Kevin is known for his fast-paced editing, straightforward plot lines, and many of his unique details.
Of course, most importantly, his story style, as a whole, is easy to understand.
He has never played anything sophisticated, and the main line of the plot is always so clear and straightforward.
The characteristic of Christopher Nolan is that most of his films have a heavy atmosphere and theme, and the substitution of the plot is relatively slow. The audience needs to spend more time and attention to be able to substitute into the film.
Of course, here's a comparison with Kevin's film.
In fact, compared with those art films, his themes and atmosphere seem to be less heavy.
This is also his characteristic.
Can better grasp the distance between the two.
This is something Kevin can't do either.
Kevin's films have always been too commercialized and not so heavy on the inside.
He couldn't grasp the distance between the two.
Of course, this is just a difference in style, and the quality of the director himself is another matter.
After confirming that this Christopher Nolan is the Christopher Nolan in his memory, Kevin said:
"Yes, with enough feasibility, I am very optimistic about this movie called Memento."
This kind of suspense film, which relies on the narrative and the protagonist's own acting skills, generally does not require much production costs.
Millions of dollars are sky-high, and if it has to be tens of millions of dollars, it can only be said that the cost is in the actor's salary.
Simple sets and other things don't cost much.
And this kind of film can be made very fast, and it can be done in a few months.
In Kevin's general impression, this memory fragment seems to be Christopher Nolan's famous movie.
With this film, he seems to have won several awards, which made a great contribution to his subsequent move to Hollywood.
Yes, this memory fragment is not actually a Hollywood movie.
And Christopher Nolan started out as a British director.
Thinking of this, Kevin knew that this was another influence of the butterfly effect.
Or, the original Christopher Nolan came to Hollywood to seek investment and failed, and then returned to the UK to shoot the film Memento?
Naturally, Kevin couldn't have known such a detailed matter.
If it weren't for Memento, famous for winning several awards, Kevin might not even have the memory of the movie.
As soon as Steve Kevin's words came out, Christopher Nolan couldn't hold back the joy in his heart any longer.
Kevin's words are almost saying that he is willing to invest in this film.
"Don't worry about investing."
"Director Nolan, are you interested in signing a contract with Chenxi Film?"
Kevin asked with a smile.
Christopher Nolan was in shock.
This is Steve Kevin's personal invitation, and at the same time, this is the director's appointment of the morning movie.
in Mitte. Under the performances of the Russo brothers, Schneider, Tsui Hark and others, the director of the morning movie has almost been deified.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you can sign a contract, it can almost be said that you have become a famous Hollywood director.
There is fame and fortune, as well as continuous filmmaking.
There is no need for him to run around with a script as he is now, begging others to invest.
This kind of good thing suddenly fell from the sky, and Christopher Nolan lost his mind for a while.
But after only three seconds, he reacted immediately and hurriedly said:
"I'm interested, I'm willing to sign a contract with Chenxi Films."
Chapter 364 Interview
Christopher Nolan isn't really ready for Hollywood.
Although as a director, he would like to enter Hollywood, this trip to Hollywood is also to seek investment.
But he didn't hold out much hope.
Unexpectedly, Steve Kevin took a fancy to it.
Now he has even sent him an invitation to sign a contract with the director of Chen Xi Movie.
This···
He really couldn't refuse.
"Okay, you can sign a contract with Dawson later. The company can arrange a nearby residence for you. If you have your own residence, you may not accept the arrangement."
"The treatment is the same as other directors, with an annual salary of $200,000, a guaranteed minimum income, and a ten-year contract."
