Chapter 119: Nolan Visits
Hearing Sid's words, Robert De Niro suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, although Sid's words were not complicated.
But this logical relationship is very simple and clear, as Sid said, the film company will never be the wrongdoer, if CAA's movie superstars get more salaries, then since they are squeezing their middle-level actors with millions of salaries in disguise.
In the past, when he was a first-line star, of course, he welcomed CAA's approach, but now as he gets older, it is obviously impossible for him to maintain the same coffee position as before.
At that time, it will definitely be him who will lose his interests.
With this thought in mind, Robert De Niro had no hope of drinking, and after nine o'clock he took his leave to Sid.
Watching the other party leave the party scene, Sid suddenly straightened his waist, where was there a drunken look on his face, he looked at the direction Robert De Niro left, and couldn't help but show a faint smile.

"Who of you is the head of Warner TV?" At Studio 23 of Warner Studios in Los Angeles, a team of elite people in suits and leather shoes broke into the filming crew.
"Damn, who are you? There's a TV series going on here!" the angry director stood up as outsiders broke in, and several producers noticed the situation.
One of the people in the suit took out a document and showed it to everyone: "We are the lawyer team of Baker Martin Law Firm, and here is the document proof of the Lion Group's full acquisition of DC Comics, according to the agreement between us and AOL Time Warner Group, from now on, all film and television works related to DC must be reviewed by the Lion Group, and all projects will be urgently stopped before the review is passed!"
The lawyer's words made several producers' scalps tingle, although they also knew that there was a fierce internal conflict in New York about the spin-off and sale of DC, but they didn't expect the result to come so quickly and so violently.
One of the main producers in front took the document from the lawyer, and after a quick glance, his face changed, and after several other producers next to him quickly passed it on, his face couldn't help but change greatly.
Seeing the expressions of several producers, the director and leading actors of the series couldn't help but gather one after another, and they asked questions to find out what was going on, and the scene was quite chaotic for a while.
And this is just a microcosm of DC-related projects.
With the public change of ownership of DC Comics, many animation and drama projects that were originally in progress have been stopped and retried by Fire Lion, among which "Superman Prequel", which was broadcast on Warner TV, is one of the most famous.
"Well, I still like Wonder Woman more than Superman and Batman. Sid shrugged.
"Ha, I knew that. Britney showed a "I already knew" expression, smiled and raised her pink fist to hit Sid, "Sure enough, it's still a mature big sister with an explosive body like Wonder Woman, who is the most likable." β
Hearing Britney's words, Sid couldn't help but laugh, this Nizi has also learned to insinuate.
"Isn't it you the most explosive body next to me?" Sid smiled and grabbed Britney's pink fist, and Nizi immediately glanced at the Nolan family across from the two.
They weren't home alone today, and Mr. and Mrs. Nolan, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, also came to visit, and Sid knew that Britney was thin-skinned in front of outsiders, so he let go of her hand and looked at Christopher Nolan with a smile.
"Chris, how's the end of Fatal ID going?"
Looking at Sid, who changed his face faster than turning a book, Jonathan Nolan dripped, and Nolan smiled without changing his face: "The editing has been completed, and now the post-production visual polishing and soundtrack work is underway, and in general, there is no big problem." β
Although "Memory Fragments" has not yet been released, Sid's "Fatal ID" for Nolan has also been filmed and entered the post-production stage.
When Sid was filming "The Departed", the others were not idle, although it is still impossible to see the true value of Nolan, but for the director who can complete the film version of "The Da Vinci Code" in a decent manner, the evaluation of Nolan within Fire Lion Pictures is not bad.
In addition, the cost of "Memory Fragments" and "Fatal ID" is only at the level of millions to tens of millions, so Fire Lion Pictures has also given a green light treatment internally.
Now that after a few more conversations, the topic has also shifted to the biggest incident that has happened to the fire lion recently.
Nolan's wife, Emma, took the initiative to say: "Having said that, Sid, you won DC like a blitzkrieg this time, which is really beyond the expectations of most people." β
"It's because most people don't think about it, so it's worth realizing. Sid said with a smile, he knew that the Nolan family was in a hurry after he returned to Los Angeles, of course, not to visit his friend.
But he didn't break it, but said sharply, "And I just said that I like Wonder Woman, not just because of the character itself, but because of her creator." β
"Creator?" Although he didn't understand why Sid brought the topic back to him, Nolan asked curiously.
"Yes, Wonder Woman was created by Professor Marston, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, who invented the lie detector. Sid smiled faintly, "He used to say that his lover was pretty, honest, kind, and innocent in heart, while his wife was 'smart, fierce, unstoppable, and an A-class who couldn't stop there!'"
Hearing Sid's words, Jonathan Nolan subconsciously looked at his sister-in-law, and Emma Nolan immediately glared, "What are you looking at!"
"No, I didn't see anything. Jonathan immediately looked like a cat and a mouse.
"And if the two of them are together, they are 'the most perfect woman in the world'. Sid's two fingers came together and he smiled slightly, "Soβdoes the image of this perfect woman sound familiar?"
Nolan reacted immediately, "Are you saying that Wonder Woman is the image of the perfect woman in Marston's mind?"
"Not bad. Sid nodded, the smile on his face faded, and said solemnly, "At that time, it was still the sixties and seventies, and the 'comic book theory of harmfulness' was very popular in North America, and he used to say so when the official review of Marston was at that time. β
"The reason why he set Wonder Woman as an Amazonian is because in Greek mythology, the Amazons are a powerful tribe of women who do not rely on men to survive. β
