How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 471: There is time, but the schedule is up. This is not a contradiction.

【Inception】.

This was Zhang Nan's first reaction after seeing the beginning of the script handed over by Christopher Nolan.

Because the plot set in a multi-layered dreamland is really distinctive.

However, just from the perspective of the script, the entire "Inception" story is not as exciting as the movie screen shows.

This is also understandable.

Because if you look past the appearance of the entire "Inception" and look at the essence, "Inception" is actually just an old-fashioned action movie.

And it's the most clichéd action movie of gunfights, car racing, kidnapping hostages, protecting hostages, rescuing hostages, detectives looking for people...etc., etc. that were poorly made.

If you don’t believe it, you can think about whether the specific plot of [Inception] is like this.

From the very beginning of the dream, driving on the street to avoid subconscious pursuit, to the deeper level of capturing the snow mountain fortress...the scenes are actually the same plots repeated in action movies.

Of course.

This is not to say that the script of "Inception" is not good.

On the contrary, it is very good.

Because the same old story, why the same old story?

It’s just because I took too many photos.

So why do you take so many pictures?

Because it’s really exciting, a hit, and beautiful!

It's just that many years of filming have made the audience numb to this type of action plot.

But Nolan uses a multi-layered dream setting to add a novel coat to the old-fashioned and exciting plot, and inside this novel new coat, the core of various old-fashioned and wonderful stories is mixed.

Just relying on this operation, "Inception" is worth at least [-] million US dollars in global box office.

Because those old-fashioned but wonderful action movie essences have this value.

"Zhang, this project is really good. If you can star in it..."

Seeing that Zhang Nan had no expression on his face after roughly browsing the script, Nolan spoke nervously and wanted to further introduce to Zhang Nan the benefits of starring in this project.

But mid-sentence, Nolan got stuck.

Because Nolan's original plan was that as long as he could star in this movie, his fame would definitely increase and the box office would be a hit. This movie would become a milestone in the career of the starring artist.

But these words are useful to 90.00% of people in Hollywood, but they have no effect on Zhang Nan.

A rise in fame?

How can Zhang Nan's current reputation soar?

A box office hit?

Which of Zhang Nan's movies didn't sell well at the box office?
A milestone in your artist’s career?

Nolan thought about Zhang Nan’s current achievements as an artist——

突破全球30多亿美金票房的里程碑【末日重生2】、突破全球20多亿美金票房的里程碑【末日重生1】、突破全球more than one billion美金票房的里程碑【末日求生1.2.3】、【指环王索伦传1】、【侏罗纪世界1】、【加勒比海盗2】、【变形金刚1】、【哈利波特-伏地魔1】。

There is no milestone here that Nolan now has the confidence to make a promise to Zhang Nan.

Even the reason why Nolan came to Zhang Nan as soon as he finished writing the script.

The main reason is that I have seen so many milestones in Zhang Nan's acting career, and I want to rely on Zhang Nan's fame to achieve such a milestone in his director career, with a box office of over one billion US dollars.

Yes.With the ending of "Batman 2" barely breaking [-] million US dollars, Nolan is now a little obsessed with the record of [-] billion US dollars in box office.

Of course, wanting to rely on Zhang Nanda to reach the milestone of breaking one billion U.S. dollars in box office is not only Nolan's idea, but also the project of many Hollywood directors.

Without it.

Because so far, it can be said that 100% of the live-action movies with a global box office exceeding one billion US dollars have Zhang Nan's participation, either as a guest star or as a starring role.

So in the middle of the conversation, Nolan couldn't open his mouth. Finally, after much thought, he could only dryly say in a short time: "It would be great if you could star."

Seeing that Christopher Nolan, who was full of character in the original time and space, was so dry when speaking in front of him, the corners of Zhang Nan's mouth raised slightly.

But he was still silent for a while, and then he spoke slowly and said: "I read the script. It uses settings to package the core selling points of various action movies together, and if you add some visual special effects, the quality of the final film will definitely be It will be much more exciting than what is described in the script.

If the rhythm during the filming process is more perfect, the box office will definitely be excellent, and Director Nolan is particularly experienced in rhythm control, so this is indeed a good project. "

Listening to Zhang Nan explain the core of [Inception] and its advantages.

Christopher Nolan couldn't help but nodded slightly and sighed in his heart. Zhang Nan's success in Hollywood to this point cannot be explained by the superstitious luck of the box office mascot. Zhang Nan's own hard power is enough.

But Nolan also knew that after Zhang Nan praised him, it was time for him to turn around. This kind of rhetoric is universal.

Sure enough, with this thought in mind, Nolan heard Zhang Nan's turning point.

"but--

I have just finished filming [Jurassic World 2], and I have another film [Transformers 2] about to be filmed, which makes my schedule this year a bit full.

It’s not that I don’t have time, but there are only two hot schedules in the global film market. I already have works for next year’s summer vacation and Christmas.

If you take over your movie "Inception", then let's not talk about the left hand fighting the right hand. There will definitely be an influence on each other. Just like this year, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was placed in the summer vacation, then "The Ring" King of Sauron 2] can only be placed in the Christmas season to compete with [Avatar] at the wrong time.

I'm a little heartbroken about the loss, so - if you really want me to star in this project, it can only start filming next year. "

Listening to Zhang Nan's explanation of the schedule, Nolan's face froze.

Because Zhang Nan's explanation is too fresh.

Other actors say that their schedule is full, which means they simply don’t have time.

But Zhang Nan's calculations are based on hot schedules and the number of films, which is too Versailles.

But you have to admit that Zhang Nan's lack of schedule is indeed the reality today.

"As long as you can star in it, it doesn't matter if the project is postponed to next year." After Nolan thought for a moment, he immediately said without hesitation that it would be okay to postpone the project.

Without it.

Zhang Nan's schedule was not enough, so he had already convinced Nolan.

And it was convinced by facts - [Batman 2] was persuaded by [Harry Potter and Voldemort 1], but the global box office failed to exceed one billion. Nolan was not convinced.

and……

Nolan is also afraid of being involved in a movie starring Zhang Nan.

On the one hand, it is to give up the starring role of Zhang Nan, and then compete head-on with the movie starring Zhang Nan in the summer vacation or Christmas season.

On the one hand, I am delaying the project schedule to pursue the starring role of Zhang Nan. If I can't win, I will join. There is a high probability that I can achieve a milestone of one billion U.S. dollars in global box office.

Faced with this multiple-choice question, let alone Nolan.

Even an outsider knows how to choose.
