First choice
Recommended song: backstreet.boys - bye.
When he saw Christopher Nolan again, Li Zhunyi was quite embarrassed, because the plane was late, but today there was a storm, and the car was hung up halfway. It seems that since 2010, all of Li Zhunyi's bad luck broke out in one day, which made Li Zhunyi go through a lot of hardships on the way here. When he arrived at the hotel where the crew members of "Inception" stayed, Li Zhunyi thought very angrily that Tang Seng learned scriptures from the West is what it feels like: a bunch of speechless ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulties.
Seeing such an embarrassed Lee Joon-yi, Christopher Nolan was really a little surprised, "This is surrounded by fans?" If Joseph Gordon Levitt was here, he would definitely say, "Was it robbed?" But Christopher Nolan's humor cells are obviously not so developed, and he still said a little conservatively.
Fred Pyle, who was also embarrassed, went to the front desk to register, and Lin Xiyuan instructed the waiter in the lobby to bring in the luggage from the taxi outside - yes, they had taken a taxi into the city, and it had been a long time since they had been so embarrassed.
Li Zhunyi looked at the slightly empty hotel lobby, it stands to reason that knowing that the "Inception" crew is staying here, fans will definitely come to watch, it seems that the crew has done a good job of secrecy, and this bad weather has also blocked the enthusiasm of many fans. "It's hard to put into words. Li Zhunyi briefly told what happened on the road just now, which made a smile appear on Christopher Nolan's calm face.
"Why are you downstairs alone, Joseph, Allen?" Li Zhunyi rubbed his hair with his hand, shaking the water droplets from his hair to the ground.
"I felt a little bored playing cards upstairs, so I came down for afternoon tea. Christopher Nolan said simply, "By the way, I heard you've already bought a house and will be ready to move in soon." "Looks like Smith Frank told him.
Li Zhun Yi smiled, the accident just now did not destroy Li Zhun Yi's good mood, in fact, it is good to be embarrassed occasionally, which can remind people of the days when they performed on the street in the past. "I have to thank you a lot for letting me, a renter, finally have a fixed property. "If Christopher Nolan hadn't taken Li Zhunyi to that New Year's Eve party, Ding Shaoguang's house wouldn't have Li Zhunyi's name written on it.
Christopher Nolan was not polite, smiled slightly, and accepted Li Zhunyi's thanks, "When will you move, do you have any plans to invite us to be guests?"
This made Li Zhunyi laugh, "Of course, of course, you are welcome to come to my house as a guest." "In the past, when I lived in a small suite in Seoul, Lee Joon-yi liked to entertain friends at home, but now that he has changed to a large villa, he naturally welcomes everyone more, "Recently, I have been busy with the promotion of movies, and it is estimated that when I move, my family will act first, and I will be able to move in directly." โ
There, Fred Pyle and Lin Xiyuan had already completed the formalities and had already gone upstairs. Lee Joon-yi and Christopher Nolan walked in the direction of the elevator. Li Zhunyi's canvas shoes have become a boat, his feet are stepping on a pile of water stains, making a popping sound, Li Zhunyi doesn't take care of himself anymore, the image is secondary, the point is that it is not good to be sick, and there will be a busy schedule in the next period of time.
Although Li Zhunyi was covered in water stains and left a large puddle of water everywhere he walked, the staff of this five-star hotel did not complain at all. I don't know what a beggar would do if they passed by the hotel lobby like this, but Lee Joon-yi, a top star, would not have any complaints even if he was walking and throwing garbage.
Li Zhunyi's wet feet stepped directly on the gorgeous Persian carpet in the elevator, and he didn't feel distressed by this expensive carpet at all, and his attention was more focused on the topic that Christopher Nolan said, "Yi, I don't know if you've seen the 'Dark Knight'?"
In response to Christopher Nolan's question, Li Zhunyi frowned slightly, looking dissatisfied, "Chris, isn't your question obvious, of course I've seen it." Otherwise, when I met you in Cannes last year, I was so happy to do something. Lee Joon-yi's bluntness made Christopher Nolan touch his nose. This "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" has almost won the box office and word of mouth around the world, and it has also become a peak in Christopher Nolan's directorial career.
"I just wanted to ask you if you're interested in 'Batman Begins 3'?" Christopher Nolan asked without going around in circles. At this time, the elevator just reached the floor, and the two people were stunned, walked out of the elevator first, and then walked to Li Zhunyi's room: Fred Pyle was waving at Li Zhunyi at the door.
"You mean the movie 'The Dark Knight Rises'?" Although "Inception" has not yet been released, but about the planning of Christopher Nolan's next movie, in fact, Warner Bros. is already running, the last "Dark Knight" made Warner Bros. make a lot of money, and the "Harry Potter" series will officially end next summer, so it is natural that Warner Bros. will find a new box office high after that. Christopher Nolan is at the top of Warner Bros.' list.
"Batman Prequel 3: The Rise of the Dark Knight" In fact, there is no news in the media at present, Li Zhun Yi just heard Fred Pyle mention it once, and Li Zhun Yi also recalled it after thinking about it just now.
"Shouldn't Christian Bale be your first choice?" Li Zhunyi did not rush to make a judgment, but put forward a news that everyone knows, Christian Bale has always been Christopher Nolan's first choice for leading actor, including "Inception" When it was in the preparation stage, Christopher Nolan was also the first to ask Christian Bale and after confirming that he had no schedule, he was excluded from the cast list in subsequent preparations.
Unexpectedly, this time in the preparatory stage of "The Dark Knight Rise", Christopher Nolan's first object of inquiry became Lee Joon-yi. That's a leap forward.
"Yi, I won't deny that Christian is still the best candidate for Batman, after all, he is very good in the 'Dark Knight'. Christopher Nolan is a person who doesn't beat around the bush, and in front of Lee Joon-yi, he doesn't need to be polite, "It's just that I think you have convinced me with your own performance that you are more sรจ than Christian." The words that came out of Christopher Nolan's mouth meant a lot.
As we all know, Christopher Nolan has never worked with big names, and he himself has a good temper, so like Steve Spielberg, Christopher Nolan is also used to working with the old team, constantly changing partners, which is also a burden for him.
After the death of Heath Ledger, who had a stunning performance in the role of the Joker in "The Dark Knight", Christopher Nolan was asked who he would consider as the Joker's successor if he continued to shoot the Batman series. As a result, Christopher Nolan was furious, and he said that there would be no more clowns in the future, because it was a classic that could not be surpassed.
From this small detail, you can see Christopher Nolan's nostalgia and unwavering recognition of fixed facts. Therefore, today Christopher Nolan said such direct praise to Lee Joon-yi, and promoted Lee Joon-yi to the position of the first choice for the actor in "The Dark Knight Rises", which is completely a breakthrough.
After entering the room, Li Zhunyi stood in the center, did not speak, but thought seriously for a while. In fact, Christopher Nolan only asked about it today, and did not send a formal invitation, after all, this new movie does not even have a script. But Lee Joon-yi knows that his answer largely determines Christopher Nolan's attitude when casting later: if Lee Joon-yi says he is interested, then it is not surprising that he will be the first choice for the new Batman, and if he refuses, then Christian Bale is very likely to play Batman again.
This is not the first time that Lee Joon-yi has to make a decision without a script, and this is the case with the "Witch's Condition" at the beginning, but this is the first time that Lee Joon-yi has to face a completely unknown challenge: not only does there be no script, but there is also a huge pressure on the previous Christian Bale to perform, and the only thing that can be believed is Christopher Nolan.
With a lot of thoughts, when Li Zhun Yi looked up again, Christopher Nolan found that Li Zhun Yi's slightly frowning brows had been stretched out at this time, his hair was still wet, and the clothes on his body were also tightly attached to his body, but the smile on his face revealed sunny confidence, "Chris, I hope I have this honor to be the first reader of the script of 'The Dark Knight Rises'." The answer couldn't be clearer.
Receiving an affirmative answer, Christopher Nolan smiled with relief and patted Lee Joon-yi on the shoulder, "You will." Then he said, "Go and take a bath, or you will catch a cold, which is doubly painful in the summer." Then he left Lee Joon-yi's room.
After seeing Christopher Nolan leave, Fred Pyle hurriedly asked, "Yi, did Nolan invite you to star in 'The Dark Knight Rises'?" If this is true, then this kind of blockbuster with good box office and word-of-mouth may become the first film in Lee Joon-yi's history to get paid $20 million: although Lee Joon-yi has reached this level, and there are definitely not a few companies that offer this price, but so far it has not really succeeded. How can this not excite Fred Pyle.
Li Zhunyi looked at Fred Pyle and Lin Xiyuan, who looked expectant, and said with a smile, "Yes!" Then he turned around and walked into the bathroom, leaving two ecstatic people laughing outside.
