Chapter 366: Dark Style
After entering the theater, Kate Beckinsale had not yet reached the front row and was stopped by her agent. Mobile
The agent beckoned Kate Beckinsale to an inconspicuous place and asked in a low voice, "Did you say that?"
Kate Beckinsale was a little embarrassed and said, "I haven't found a chance to say it yet. β
The agent reminded: "Kate, don't hesitate about this kind of thing, Hollywood's top production! The director is still a big director like Stephen Sommers, he watched the trailer of "Tales of the Night", he saw you at a glance, and he plans to invite you to play the heroine! It is said that the investment is as high as 160 million US dollars. β
"I know. Kate Beckinsale also whispered: "You have to find a suitable opportunity to say it, right? You can't tell Ronan Anderson in public that I want to star in a new film and let the sequel to "Tales of the Night" adjust the schedule, right?"
The agent said: "As far as I know, the first draft of the script of "Legend of the Night 2" has been completed by the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment, and as long as the film meets expectations tonight, the sequel will be scheduled soon." β
Kate Beckinsale thought for a while and said: "Although I signed a trilogy contract with Shahai Entertainment, I also have the freedom to take on other films. β
Agents are veterans of relationships, and Kate Beckinsale is thoughtful: "Never ignore the influence of a producer, especially a successful producer like Ronan Anderson in the future. For this kind of thing, it's best to say hello to him in advance, so that the sequel production can have enough time to adjust. β
Kate Beckinsale nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Ronan Anderson when I get the chance." β
The agent still advised: "As soon as possible." β
Kate Beckinsale said: "I see. β
She turned around and walked to the front row, saw Ronan and Will Smith talking and laughing, and decided to talk to Ronan this week.
The screen lights up, the ceiling lights go out, the auditorium quickly quiets down, and the premiere screening officially begins.
This is a film about the feud between werewolves and vampires, which highlights the typical Gothic style from the beginning, and the film basically ignores the world of ordinary people, focusing all the cameras on the underground world composed of werewolves and vampires.
At the same time, this is another typical werewolf and vampire version of Romeo and Juliet.
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has been brought to the screen many times, and at the same time, it has also brought inspiration to many countless filmmakers, so alternative adaptations like "Romeo and Juliet: Postmodern Passion" have also emerged.
"Tales of the Night" is a wolf-ghost romance based on Romeo and Juliet, but Romeo is a werewolf and Juliet is a brave and warlike vampire female warrior.
In the film, the two races of vampires and werewolves have been fighting each other for centuries and are bitter rivals. But one day, a vampire female warrior who is feared by werewolves falls in love with a peace-loving wolf boy, and a tragic story begins.
The ending is certainly not a Romeo and Juliet tragedy, this is a commercial movie, and the ending is definitely that Romeo the werewolf and Juliet the vampire come together.
Finally, another old stubborn who wants to continue to ruin Romeo and Juliet's love comes out of the coffin to add light to the sequel.
Christopher Nolan watched the film very seriously, the black picture and the black outfit of the character seemed to pass through his mind like an electric current, stimulating his thinking.
All the stories take place in the dark of night? The protagonist is tormented by guilt and anger and wants to avenge his parents? Strong skills and strong willpower give the protagonist the ability to fight and destroy the forces of evil? The protagonist will eventually face a villain who is also a father and a teacher?
These have inspired Christopher Nolan a lot.
Gradually, he found more and more useful things for himself from the style of the film.
The rough and bold, dark and realistic style outlines a kind of operatic spirit that he admires unusually, and pushes the dark wind of the film to a high point.
Oh yes, dark style! yes, dark style!
Christopher Nolan's fingers kept tapping his knees, and his thoughts became clearer and clearer, and the inspiration from that movie became more and more obsessive.
He thought about what kind of style he needed for his next film, what kind of spirit he needed.
Dark style!
It's one of a kind!
Christopher Nolan remembered that during the filming of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", he fell into a long-term insomnia due to the influence of the polar day environment where the filming was filmed.
This film brought the longing for darkness that had faded back to him.
Yes, dark style!
Although the subject matter of the film has not yet been decided, Christopher Nolan is very sure that the style of his next film must be darkened.
Having decided on the style, Christopher Nolan's mind turned to the subject matter again.
What kind of subject matter and content are suitable for the darkening film style?
For a moment, Christopher Nolan had no clue.
After the film is shown, the subtitles appear, and Christopher Nolan is still pondering, creating a dark-style film?
What about adaptation? It seems that there is no genre suitable for adaptation into a dark movie in the academic works I have seen, right?
That's really a problem.
The warm applause rang out, interrupting Christopher Nolan's thoughts, and he quickly came back to his senses, applauded with the people around him, and gave the film a round of applause.
To be honest, the film is not particularly exciting, but the style is very unique, and it is a good movie.
It's a pity that the subject matter is a little niche.
As soon as the idea came to mind, Christopher Nolan was surprised, the dark style is inherently niche, and if the next film uses this style, it will be a bit difficult to get a higher investment.
But continuing to shoot independent films with small fights is not in line with his plan.
How could a director like Christopher Nolan, who is aspiring to a big production, be willing to stay in the independent film industry.
On the premise of insisting on the dark style, it is necessary to make the film popular. Christopher Nolan is still thinking about choosing a popular theme with a wide audience to achieve a dark style.
The two must also be paired with each other.
Otherwise, what will come out in the end will inevitably be an incongruous movie.
In this way, the range of subject matter options is smaller.
Christopher Nolan shook his head, stopped thinking about it for a while, and followed some of the people who had been invited to the premiere to walk towards the front row to congratulate the crew.
"Ronan, this is a masterpiece!" Christopher Nolan shook Ronan's hand and said, "Thank you so much for inviting me to the premiere, this film has inspired me a lot." β
Ronan smiled and said, "Chris, you're too awarded." β
Christopher Nolan insisted on his point of view: "What I said is true, and this film made me sure that my next work must go in the dark style. β
Ronan's heart moved, and he said: "The dark wind is not easy to shoot, it's too niche." β
Christopher Nolan nodded and said, "It's very troublesome to choose a theme, and I don't have any clue for the time being." β
Someone else came to congratulate him, and Ronan said to Christopher Nolan, "I'll visit you at Warner Studios when I have time, I especially like the dark style, let's talk about it." β
"Okay. Christopher Nolan thinks of the first few conversations with Ronan, which is undoubtedly a very appetizing producer: "I'm always there. β
Ronan smiled and nodded to Christopher Nolan, shook hands with the people who came behind him, and said polite words.
At the premiere, you cheered me on, and I cheered you on, which is the norm in the circle.
To paraphrase the words of the previous life, even if the competition is fierce, the enemy of life and death will not run to the premiere to smash people.
The premiere screening was followed by a regular press conference, and since the film was almost entirely devoted to highlighting Kate Beckinsale's heroine, almost all of the reporters' questions were directed at Kate Beckinsale.
After experiencing the big battle of "Pearl Harbor", Kate Beckinsale also has some experience, and the public relations of the intensified group is mentioned from time to time, which can be regarded as a decent response.
The premiere went very well, and Ronan left the theater at the end of the show and returned to Forlì Hills.
As with most of the time, having dealt with work emails in the mailbox, Ronan read books and read materials, continuing to recharge his batteries until twelve o'clock before going to bed.
The next morning, I woke up on time to run and exercise, and when I arrived at the restaurant after all this, not only was the hot breakfast ready, but the butler Nikia had prepared the newspapers for Ronan as was customary at movie premieres.
The premiere of "Tales of the Night" is about to be screened in 2,950 theaters in North America, and it can be said to be one of the largest and most talked about films since April, attracting a lot of media commentary.
Ronan first read "Premiere" magazine, although the magazine did not get all kinds of data for the premiere, but for the time being, through the analysis of the content of the movie, "Tales of the Night" will be a success.
"First of all, in terms of the chemical field, many people may not have noticed, but the vampire craze is revival, and the subject matter of this film has an innate advantage. Secondly, the worldview of completely abandoning humans and directly attacking the grievances and hatred of the two major races of vampires and werewolves is quite innovative. Third, the alternative black decadent beauty throughout, plus the cool styling of several protagonists is very interesting. β
Most of the media are more optimistic about the film, and although the reviews are mixed, they basically believe that the film will be a commercial success.
After breakfast and the newspaper, Ronan was about to go to work when he received a call from Kate Beckinsale.
