Chapter 768: There Must Be Something Misunderstanding Here
In the top-level office of Dragon Soul Film Company, Layla was quite happy to hear Nolan's visit at first. After all, he is the top director of Hollywood in the future, and he has his own set of ideas in the understanding of movies, so yesterday's conversation benefited both of them a lot. But when she heard what he said, she was dumbfounded.
"Let me shoot Batman, and you will be my assistant director?"
Which one is this playing?
Nolan propped his hands on the desk with bright eyes: "That's right, Director Moran! I think only you can create the most outstanding Batman! You also said yesterday, it's not that we can't shoot what we want to shoot, the important thing is to shoot what we like so that everyone can like it! I like the dark realistic style of Batman, but I seem to have failed." But I don't think I made a wrong decision, Director Moran, it's up to you to tell everyone that the dark and realistic style is the best Batman!"
"Wait!" Leila held her forehead with her hand, feeling that she needed to be quiet: "Director Nolan, you have done a good job, you have to believe in yourself!" What did she say yesterday that would make him think that he could shoot Batman well?
"Director Moran, as I said yesterday, I have a magic movie that I really want to make. Originally, I was going to try to shoot Batman after I finished filming. But through our discussion yesterday, I can't suppress the desire in my heart! I can't wait to get investment and form a crew now. You know what? I've been tinkering with the script since I got home yesterday, and my head is full of inspiration!"
Leila was dumbfounded when she heard this, and it was really her relationship that made him have such an incredible idea?
How could she refuse, saying that she knew he would make the remaining two successful films in the future?
Don't say such things that no one will listen to, and even if you do, they will only be taken as comforting words, right?
"Director Nolan, we had a good conversation yesterday, and I think you'll do well with the remaining two. And you know I still have Lord of the Rings to make, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take your recommendation. ”
This question was said just now, and Nolan answered it more fluently: "I am also a director, and I know that it will take not much time in the post-production." Don't worry, come back when you need to come back, and I'll do the rest for you!"
How generous, how empathetic, if you want to skip work, you can skip work, and there are people who wipe their butts with a lot of salary, which is simply the best treatment.
But Lela just wants to say that she really doesn't want this kind of treatment!
It's not that she's not interested in Batman, it's that she doesn't want to get in the way of Nolan's growth. It can be seen from his life that the movie in which he really entered the ranks of first-class commercial directors is this series of Batman, if he is taken away from him, will he still be the big director who made "Inception" in the future?
"Director Nolan, I'm sorry I really have to turn you down. Leila's mind raced to find a reasonable reason to reject him. Not to mention, she really found one. "You should be aware that I bought Marvel, and Batman's company is DC. Marvel and DC have been competitors since their inception. You can't let me make a movie for a competitor, can you?"
Nolan looked at her blankly, and this kind of thing?
He knows that DC naturally knows Marvel, but because of competition, he can't make movies, and he doesn't know anything at all.
It is also for this reason that the representatives of Batman Productions are sure that his invitation this time is meaningless, otherwise who would not want to let Layla help him make a movie.
Nolan didn't say anything like "dedicate yourself to art, you should throw away all preconceptions", and finally left in disappointment.
Leila had him see him off from the window and watched him get into the car and leave, before she let out a sigh and sat down in her chair.
Movies are also art, and people who play art have more or less personality. If they don't have a personality, they can't create their own style, and if they don't have their own style, they can't be successful.
Because of this personality, Layla felt that she was not very good at dealing with them. Whether it's Nolan or Janet, it feels like they have a lot of problems talking to themselves, and they don't listen to other people's words at all. Well, in fact, she has this problem too, but she thinks she is quite a good talker, and she doesn't suddenly have a scaring idea like them.
If you want to talk about tempting, in fact, she is also quite tempting. She has watched "The Dark Knight" many times, whether it is the acting skills of the characters or the plot, she is fascinated by it. Heath Ledger's performance is unparalleled, the plot arrangement is impeccable, in short, Nolan has created one of the most charismatic Batman in film history, and also created the most charismatic villain.
I believe that it will be interesting to make a movie like this.
Louise brought over a stack of papers, and as soon as she entered the office, she saw the boss leaning back in his chair, looking up at the ceiling, with a somewhat subtle expression.
"What are you doing?"
"It's nothing, it's just thinking about something. Leila quickly straightened her expression and sat down at her desk.
"These are some documents that need your signature, and there are several applications in the emerging program, which I think are pretty good, so you can consider it. Louise handed her the papers.
Leila took it and opened it in front of her.
The so-called application plan refers to the directors or actors, or screenwriters supported in the emerging plan, if they have new ideas that they want to implement, such as the planning of a new movie, apply for more support funds, or want more suitable crew members. At this time, an application will be sent to Leila in the form of a proposal.
Usually, such an application cannot be handed to him as soon as it comes up, and it needs to be reviewed by at least three people before it can finally be placed in front of her. And in this way, the company has indeed made many popular films.
Now that the cutting-edge project is still expanding because of the relationship between word of mouth, many young people who have heard the news have found an organization here, and they can discuss it with many other people who have common topics, and they can also apply to shoot it after their minds are mature. It can be said that this is the cradle of incubating the pillars of future films, and many people who have gone out of here have already established a place in Hollywood.
The most intuitive is the group of horror movie lovers at the beginning, who have made several series of classic horror films, accounting for almost half of the horror films in recent years.
The ones that can be put in front of Leila are some projects with great potential or large investment requirements.
Seeing that she was reading the documents, Louise asked curiously, "Director Nolan just came, right?
