Coquettish Rebirth

Should Nolan be given the position of director?Can Nolan hold up such a movie now?It goes without saying that Nolan is talented, and his work personality is very similar to Jia Hongjian's. It can be said that if they cooperate with each other, they will definitely be very comfortable!However, after all, Nolan has only made two films, the first one is just an independent film, and the second "Memento" has just finished filming. Under such circumstances, Nolan can handle [-] million USD investment?To put it mildly, can a rookie director like him hold back the stars?

One must know that Jia Hongjian wanted Jiang Wen to play Monkey King this time, and an actor like Jiang Wen is at the level of a drama master!What is Xiba level?That was in history in 01, when Jiang Wen went to cooperate with a well-known young director at the time, and then filmed again, because the young director couldn't suppress Jiang Wen at all. "Prohibition of filming" prohibits the director from being the leading actor, so he directly empties the young director, and he directs and acts in the whole scene himself!After someone emptied the director, it was a man who commanded the whole crew like an overlord and only listened to his command!

Such a domineering Jiang Wen, a rebellious Jiang Wen who is like a "living bandit", can Nolan hold back?Could it be that Nolan's momentum was too weak, and in the end, Jiang Wen let Jiu occupy the magpie's nest again?This is what Jia Hongjian had to guard against!He didn't mean that he didn't want Jiang Wen to be the director, but that if Nolan couldn't suppress Jiang Wen, the final work would become Jiang Wen's style.Then let's go directly to Jiang Wen to take pictures, okay?Now Jiang Wen hasn't made "The Devil Is Coming" so he hasn't been banned from being a director for a few years. It's so nice to find him to shoot directly and quickly without any worries!So what should we do now?Nolan is looking at us so expectantly in front of us, should we reject him?If he refused, Nolan would have to be hit?So what should we do?

"Mr. Jia, shall we sign the contract now? I can't wait!" At this time, Nolan took the initiative to "force" Jia Hongjian. It can be said that at this time, Jia Hongjian was in a dilemma. !If it's someone with a weaker personality, such as an ordinary girl, she may be really embarrassed to refute her face at this time, and then she can only agree to it half-heartedly and half-heartedly.But Jia Hongjian is not such a person!He is not a person who will not reject others!

How did Jia Hongjian do it?How did you refuse?At this moment, Jia Hongjian's face straightened.Coughed a bit. "Mr. Nolan, I don't intend to offend, but I want to ask, do you have enough control over top actors now? I'll tell you the truth. I've fallen in love with an actor who plays the Monkey King. And this actor has a very strong personality. If you can't hold him down, he will empty you and hold you down. In the end, your movie is no longer a story that you understand. It becomes his story, his movie, please tell me , do you think you can hold him down? Can you guarantee that you can keep filming the story in your heart without being disturbed?"

When Jia Hongjian asked, Nolan was dumbfounded.From Nolan's point of view, he was originally recruited to be a director!But what does Jia Hongjian mean now?Does this mean he doesn't want to be a director anymore?Or what?Or is this an interview?Need to prove yourself?What on earth does this mean? "Sir, what do you mean?" He finally asked in confusion.

As for Jia Hongjian, of course, it is impossible to block the possibility of Nolan as a guide all at once.To be honest, he is now worried about Nolan's lack of experience. If Nolan has enough experience, he really thinks that Nolan's leadership may be better than Lee Ang's, because Nolan is relatively more commercialized and more capable. Make some money!Although Jia Hongjian wanted to promote Chinese culture to the whole world, he never said that it must be so advanced that there are not many audiences!Being able to make more money means that there are more viewers, which means that there are more people in the entire communication. From this perspective, it is also good for cultural promotion!After all, in this day and age, the promotion of culture is all about industrialization, and industrialization is about making money!Only when it is profitable can more people join in to make the promotion more effective!

So, after Jia Hongjian thought for a while, he said, "Mr. Nolan, I think so, why don't we work together to get the script out first. Let's do it step by step, and I will follow the The standard of a playwright pays you to write a script. I hope that you, as a producer, will start preparing for the film first, choosing actors and communicating with them... Through such step-by-step steps, you can prove that you have the ability to control the overall situation... ..."

That's right, Jia Hongjian didn't resolutely refuse, nor did he agree all at once. On the basis of his rejection, he didn't close the door completely, and left a space for Nolan to work hard to get opportunities.From this point of view, Jia Hongjian's approach may be a bit like a goddess keeping a spare tire—the goddess obviously cannot let the spare tire completely give up, otherwise the goddess may not have a choice.Then, you can't let the spare tire feel too much that you are already in charge, otherwise the goddess will also lose the right to choose.So no matter from which point of view, it is necessary for the goddess to keep a spare tire and not let the other party take the lead, but also let the other party be ambiguous with herself. Chance!

Of course, the so-called "goddesses" in the general society may not be able to do the last step, which is to stimulate the spare tire to make progress and become a regular. They may just ride a donkey to find a horse. Just to give yourself an extra layer of protection.So from this perspective, it can also be said that this is the difference in life between Jia Hongjian and those so-called goddesses.If Jia Hongjian was a goddess, he would definitely not let the spare tire realize that he is a spare tire, but would make the spare tire think that he is not too far from the standard of a goddess, and that he still has the opportunity to work hard. As long as he works hard enough, You can win the heart of the goddess!Even if it is unsuccessful in the end, the spare tire may be gently comforted by Jia Hongjian, making the spare tire feel that he just didn't work hard enough to become the goddess's true destiny before the goddess finds her true destiny...

Not to mention hypocrisy or hypocrisy, at least after Jia Hongjian said so, Nolan was full of energy! "Alright, Mr. Jia, don't worry, I will definitely prove myself!" British Nolan said very "American" at this time.Nolan obviously understood that Jia Hongjian didn't trust him a little bit - half an hour ago, before he signed the non-disclosure agreement, he himself was a little bit unconfident in himself!He was also worried that if he failed the filming, he would become the same as the leading actor of Water World in the future, and he would not have the chance to take a big movie in five or ten years!If it wasn't because such a plot was too in line with his aesthetics, why would he work so hard for it now?So Jia Hongjian was a little suspicious of him, which is very normal!

Even, in the eyes of Nolan and his wife, a big boss like Jia Hongjian flew over from China to meet with Nolan, and then spent a lot of time talking to him about the whole story, and finally gave him such a There is room for him to fight for the opportunity to direct. Why?At least in Nolan's view, the only reasonable explanation behind this is that Jia Hongjian is actually very optimistic about his Nolan's potential, but because Nolan has only made two films, he is afraid that he is inexperienced and too young Shi, he needs to prove that he can handle such a top-level film during the preparation process!Therefore, all of this was Jia Hongjian's doing for his own good!

In fact, from Jia Hongjian's point of view, he originally only wanted to find the other party to be a screenwriter, and then the other party suddenly asked to be a director, and then he refused the other party and gave the other party a hope for improvement space only.Of course he is optimistic about Nolan, but he needs Nolan to prove himself!So in fact, until now, neither Jia Hongjian nor Nolan realized that there was a misunderstanding between them!What's even more amazing is that the two of them didn't realize that there was a misunderstanding between them, and after chatting for a long time, they actually reached a consensus!It's just amazing!The two people understand it from different angles, and it can be said that the ideas are completely irrelevant, but in the end, they come to the same goal by different routes!If both of them found out about this, they would probably laugh outright, but the problem is that they really don't know about it!

Here, Jia Hongjian got a lawyer to draw up a contract on the spot and printed it out. After both parties read it, it was signed.In the contract, Jia Hongjian hired Nolan to become the producer and screenwriter of "Tang Xuanzang's Fantasy Journey", while Nolan's wife was hired to be Nolan's assistant—according to Nolan Well, the wife of his college classmate has been helping him as a producer. When he was in charge of filming, his wife would always be in the front line and help with logistics in various ways, doing what executive producers do.Hearing this, Jia Hongjian curiously inquired about the history of the two of them—these two were really classmates they met in college, they fell in love all the way to graduation, and they just got married two years ago!Then this woman is working with her husband Nolan. The two majored in English literature in college. After they came out, the woman basically gave up her career and concentrated on helping her husband in the film field. Struggle, she is responsible for all kinds of underhand work...

Listening to the happy life of this husband and wife, Jia Hongjian simply and generously gave Nolan's wife a permanent contract.After all, this Nolan's wife helped her husband all the way, so is that a certain degree of positive energy? (To be continued..)
