Don't be a screenwriter? So what do you do?

"Do you want to be a director?" Nolan couldn't help but ask, looking like a little boy who was about to be robbed of candy.

"Hahaha...... "What kind of director, Wu Xiang smiled, smiled sincerely, "Chris, I want to ask, what do you think about this movie, I'm talking about the shooting problem, who to invest in? Who to find to be the distributor?"

Actually, when it came to this, Wu Xiang also heard it, that is, Nolan just wanted to be a screenwriter, but in fact, this is different from Wu Xiang's cooperation, and there is a lot of difference.

But fortunately, now that Wu Xiang knows, now that we know, let's say it well, and lead you, the great director, to my road.

"I'm going to go to Warner Bros., they are very strong, they have plenty of money to provide us with the one we want. Nolan spoke his mind, as if it were a matter of course.

This is the normal idea of a big Hollywood director, no matter how good his idea is, he will go to a big company to let them invest in him, that's what they think, no matter what kind of good idea, if you want to make a good film, you have to go to a big company, you have to go to a big company, you have to.

To say, Nolan is also a big director, he has money, he has connections, he has a lot of resources, he can do it himself and invest by himself, but Nolan still wants to find a big company, is he a little petty?

Yes and no.

It's a bit petty. Without the slightest entrepreneurial ambition, this is indeed a saving ziài.

But the problem is that this is forced by the environment. Hollywood directors are really well-informed, they know how to make a movie successful.

In Hollywood, you have to rely on big corporations, you have to be big corporations.

We hear a lot of stories about successful small-budget films, but in reality, these films are successful. Most of them also rely on large companies, and can really succeed in small budget, independent films. There are already fewer and fewer of them, and in terms of proportion, there is no doubt that large companies have more say. Their stuff is more likely to succeed.

Other than that. In addition, the taxes of the cheating fathers in the United States, not only corporate taxes, but also personal income taxes, and they have to be calculated again for the federal and state governments, even if the movie is completed, then a large part is given to others, and if it doesn't work, it will simply be compensated.

Other words. No matter which way you look at it, rely on large companies. It's the best choice, it's too risky to invest yourself, it's better to be a director, no matter what the box office is, you can make money, and if you are a little adventurous, you can sign a sharing contract with a big company, and if the box office is good, you will take more.

Risk avoidance, this is something anyone can do, and it is understandable, so many big directors in Hollywood have chosen this way, and in fact, this is also a process of social division of labor, forcing you to focus on one job.

Director, just director.

Nolan may open his own company, but he probably won't let his company lead a movie, he is not Wolfgang Peterson, that guy is actually a technology controller, Nolan is the kind of guy who eats by ideas, he just has an idea and can make a good plot, and in Hollywood, where technology is king, he doesn't have much space.

"Chris, if I say this movie, I'll give you the funds to make it, what do you think?" Wu Xiang said his thoughts, he wanted to start a business, so he also added, "We are our own bosses, isn't that good?"

"Be your own boss......?" Nolan certainly knew what Wu Xiang meant, but it was not easy to be his own boss. "I think it's better to forget it, it's too risky, it's better to let those big companies take the risk, how good is that? Don't you know, Wu, now Hollywood's independent film companies are no longer there, let alone blockbusters. ”

Independent film companies, the most famous of which is Spielberg's company DreamWorks, but now they sold the company to Paramount in 05 because of poor management.

DreamWorks' movies are still good, with a reputation and a box office, but even so, it's still a good thing.

Wu Xiang understands Nolan's doubts, it seems that we can strengthen the temptation and throw a big turnip.

"In this way, if I say, the investment in this movie is all made by me, and then the box office is shared, and we are one and a half, of course, you have to take care of everything, what am I talking about, you should be able to understand. To put it bluntly, if you make money, you get half of it, and if you lose money, it's all my business, do you want to do it yourself under such conditions?"

This condition is really good, only a stupid X would refuse, but Nolan doesn't believe it.

"This, this is incredible, but, Wu, do you know how much investment I envisioned for this movie?"

It's a very real question, and it's also a very normal one, because Nolan wasn't Edward Kennedy, and he had no way of knowing how strong Wu Xiang was.

"Hahaha......" Wu Xiang laughed of course, the feeling between him and Nolan now is like a beggar asking a millionaire, the pancake fruit you eat today or the tofu brain?

That's right, that's what it feels like.

"......" Nolan was confused, what the hell is going on with this Wu Xiang, what a normal question, what are you laughing at?

"I said Wu, do you know or not, Nolan is very willing to spend money, and he can't do anything without one or two hundred million dollars. Heath Ledger interjected, he knew that Wu Xiang had some strength, but he didn't know how much.

"Okay, let's set the budget at $200 million first, what do you think?" When this guy Wu Xiang said $200 million, he really had a calm expression, as if it wasn't $200 million, but just two steel hammers.

"......" Nolan and Heath Ledger were both stupid, and their expressions at this time were as if they had seen aliens.

Faced with such an expression. Wu Xiang's heart is really, cool!

"Wait, wait, Wu. Do you really have that much money? Even if Source Code is a big hit, but you can have that much money? That's, isn't it?" said Heath Ledger said he would do the math, he wasn't American, he was Australian, and he was good at math.

"yes, that's $200 million, even for a big company. They all need to finance from the bank, and it's no joke. "Obviously, Nolan knows the ins and outs of the big companies.

Financing. To further reduce the risk, Wu Xiang said that he understands.

"It's nothing, it's just 200 million dollars, of course. I'll send a finance officer to tell you when the time comes. Investment is not a problem, I don't need to cheat you, right?" Wu Xiang still had an expression like 200 million was just a thick roll of paper.

"Okay! I'll do it!" What else can I say? Everyone has promised that no matter how arrogant he is, it will be a pure fool, so Nolan seized the opportunity, and at the same time he made his own promise, "I can't come up with so much money." It's true. But if you are so powerful, then after our cooperation is successful. I hope to be your partner, what do you think?"

The concept of partner is often found in European and American companies, if an employee is particularly good, then the boss will let him be a partner, which is actually an equity incentive measure.

"No problem!" Of course there is no problem, Wu Xiang is actually thinking about this, he is tantamount to recruiting another general in the United States.

"Oh roar! I really didn't expect that I actually knew a billionaire, ahaha! By the way, you are Chinese, Chinese are rich!" Heath Ledger interjected again.

"Hahaha......" The topic after this is naturally much hotter, but since Wu Xiang is so rich, what else is there, a treat!

Well, in fact, being an iron rooster is sometimes very happy to say......

Wu Xiang used 200 million to recruit a general, which is definitely a value-for-money deal, not to mention that the global box office of the original "Inception" exceeded 800 million, let's just say that Nolan is worth this price.

It's just that what Wu Xiang didn't know was that Heath Ledger's big mouth told Lindsay Lohan about today's events, so there was a legend in Hollywood that those who hit China were rich people!

After talking about a film plan again, Wu Xiang's trip to the United States is almost over, of course, he is ready to stay for a while, because there are still many things in the company that he needs to fiddle with.

In addition, Wu Xiang didn't want to return to China for the time being, because he was afraid that he would think of that woman again, so it would be better to stay in the United States for a while.

However, Wu Xiang's current identity really makes him unable to stay for a long time, and there are still a lot of things in China.

The main things that need Wu Xiang the most are two things, it should be said that there are two scripts.

"Latent" and "The Wind", the scripts of these two plays have come out, of course, this is the first version, and it needs to be studied carefully.

The script, in a relatively mature team, needs to be studied repeatedly, and sometimes it needs to be overturned several times before it can be finally confirmed. When Wu Xiang was filming his debut film, of course, it wasn't so complicated, and he could decide it himself, but now it's different, there are more people, and there are more opinions.

The first is the script of "Latent", which has a lot of controversy.

"Does Zuo Lan want to die? This female number two seems to have a little effect, so it's better not to die, isn't that good?"

"Does Captain Ma want to die? This character seems to be good, can you keep some more time?"

"It's a pity that Liao Sanmin died, such a good image, isn't it a bit hasty to let him die?"

In short, everyone is discussing whether these characters survive or not, which sounds quite cautious, but in fact this is a deep dig into the plot of the script.

The most debated is not the life and death of these characters, but the heroine.

"Does Cui Ping want to die?" (To be continued......
