Chapter 38: The Situation (6/6)

Nolan is British, a standard English gentleman, with a three-seven-point hairstyle, hair that goes back, very bright, and feels like a fly can fall...

Dressed appropriately, with a black suit, a white shirt and a black tie...

In comparison, Lu Xiaoran's dress is a bit out of style, and he doesn't tie the knot.

Liu Cixin also wore a suit.

Lu Xiaoran contacted Liu Cixin as early as 10 years, and the adaptation rights of his works are basically in the hands of Orange.

For a work like "The Three-Body Problem", don't touch it for the time being, start with "The Wandering Earth", and wait until China's science fiction technology matures to form a complete system, and then it's not too late to shoot "The Three-Body Problem".

......

"When I was seven years old, Star Wars came out for the first time, and it was the greatest movie for anyone my age, and it gave me the idea to make a movie and got me interested in space and science fiction. Subsequently, I was amazed by the re-release of 2001: A Space Odyssey, and I will never forget the shock of that magnificent story on the big screen. I just want to bring the same feeling to today's audience through Interstellar. ”

"Interstellar was influenced by a lot of films, most notably Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey..."

The host is obviously a fan of Nolan, and several questions are all asked to Nolan...

Even if he is not a fan of Nolan, Nolan's white skin alone is a little more noble than the yellow-skinned Lu Xiaoran...

As for the worth?

Worth is a fart, why do some women look for foreigner husbands and don't pay attention to houses and cars?

Lu Xiaoran didn't bother to pay attention to him, and whispered to Liu Cixin about "The Three-Body Problem", such as the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award.

Da Liu's fame came after "The Three-Body Problem" won the Hugo Award!

"The Three-Body Problem has been shortlisted for the Nebula Award, and I think it can hit the Hugo Award!"

"I don't really care about that..."

"That's not good, you don't care, I'll help you run it!"

In fact, the situation of science fiction in China is very embarrassing, according to the classification, it belongs to children's literature...

Lu Xiaoran respects Da Liu very much, just that sentence: Starting from "The Three-Body Problem", I have no doubt that this person has single-handedly raised Chinese science fiction literature to a world-class level.

"I'm still more concerned about "The Wandering Earth"..."

"Don't worry, in 2017, you will definitely see this film released!"

Here Lu Xiaoran and Liu Cixin were chatting happily, and the host over there finally finished licking Nolan and began to ask Lu Xiaoran: "Director Lu, what do you think of "Interstellar"?"

“... I heard it was very good!"

"Is there anything you'd like to ask Director Nolan?"

"I wanted to ask him what he thought of Gravity. ”

Nolan: "It's an amazing movie, I've always wondered how you made it..."

"It's a secret..."

"When I was growing up, there was a fanatical desire for space. But in the decades that followed, those passions had faded, and Interstellar represented my childhood obsession with space, flying into space to explore the unknown. What did you think about Gravity?"

"A sense of powerlessness over the sudden catastrophe..."

......

Nolan admires Lu Xiaoran very much, or respects it, and around the world, there are few people who dare to spend money on original themes, and there are few that sell well!

Martin Scorsese found Paramount and spent $170 million on "Hugo", which was evaluated by film critics: Martin Scorsese wrote "a love letter" to the movie.

Unfortunately, this love letter failed miserably at the box office, grossing $150 million worldwide...

Then Martin Sr. took a break for several years, filmed "The Wolf of Wall Street" halfway, and helped HBO supervise the production of "Atlantic Empire"...

It wasn't until 2019 that he took Netflix's $90 million investment to make "The Irishman", and only released it symbolically for one week in more than 100 theaters in North America.

In contrast, Lu Xiaoran spent $150 million to make "Gravity", and he made a lot of money...

It's called!

At the end of the forum, Lu Xiaoran and Tangtang took the car home, and Tangtang uploaded a photo of Lu Xiaoran and Nolan talking and laughing, with the text: Two big directors.

Previously stepping on Lu Xiaoran to praise Nolan's selective ignorance that "Interstellar" may not sell 1/3 of the box office of "Gravity", but Nolan is still 3 Lu Xiaoran higher!

It's still the same sentence: Nolan's awesomeness doesn't mean that Nolan's fans are awesome!

All of them are noble and cold, with whom are they?

It's really not as noble as liking Nolan than liking Mikami!

Tangtang simply posted on Weibo: "I've watched everything that happened on the Internet in the past few days, and I have one thing to say, you like Director Nolan, and I like it too, but it doesn't mean that you are more noble than Lu Xiaoran's fans, and I am very disgusted with this chain of contempt..."

Lu Xiaoran's Weibo paid attention to Tangtang, as soon as she posted on Weibo, she received the news here, frowning: "You don't post this kind of on the Internet!"

"I'll take care of it for you!"

“... Thank you..."

Tens of millions of protection fees are not paid in vain every year...

The scum wave has a number in his heart!

Tangtang suddenly asked, "Do you want to invest in Nolan's new work?"

"His work is not my turn to invest! He has a good relationship with Warner, and it should be a contract relationship. ”

"Then why didn't Warner help him get the Oscar?"

"How do you know that Warners didn't work hard, and a good movie in the eyes of fans and audiences is not the same as a good movie in the eyes of the judges. ”

"And he's still so mythologized?"

"Kubrick and Hitchcock haven't won the Oscar either, but it doesn't affect their greatness, and the Oscar has to consider all aspects..."

Tangtang hurriedly asked, "Then do we have a chance this year?"

"There should be, Hollywood needs Chinese capital, if I can win the award, it means that Hollywood accepts Chinese filmmakers and accepts Chinese capital..."

If there is no chance of winning, will Lu Xiaoran spend three months running to the United States to brush his face?

He's not that idle!

“... Really? Can I tweet?"

"Don't wait until the nominations are announced..."

......

The news of Nolan's arrival in China did not stimulate the box office of "Interstellar" much, after all, it is a movie within 169 minutes, and there is really no way to schedule more films.

However, the reputation of "Interstellar" is so good that in the box office market after November 12th, "Interstellar" dominated the box office championship for 18 consecutive days, and before the release of "The Best Life of a Coquettish Woman", the box office exceeded 700 million...

Globally, "Interstellar" has also begun to reach the top, and it is estimated that even if it is difficult for the box office of this movie to surpass "Inception", it can exceed 600 million US dollars...

failed to play "Gravity", the global box office of "Gravity" has exceeded 800 million, and it is still rising, if there is the blessing of the Oscar, it may not be able to exceed 900 million US dollars!

By the way, the mainland box office of "Gravity" stopped at 2.29 billion, just surpassing "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", and it was released...

There's no way, when the Chinese New Year file arrives, you have to make room for other movies...

However, the online copyright of "Gravity" is not directly sold, and Orange knows that "Gravity" is rushing for awards, and if it can win an award, even if it is the best foreign language film, the price can be increased by at least 5 million....

Mr. Lu also has Sugar Candy running a drinking party in the United States, and the New Year stalls have been handed over to the company...

In this year's Chinese New Year file, the recognized head works "One Step Away" and "Taiping Wheel", Orange has two works, the first is "Donkey Gets Water", which has no hope at all, will be released on December 1, and the other is "Love Saint" with strong dark horse attributes...
