Chapter 182: Capture a general

"Ben, what are you doing?"

Ben Affleck turned his head and smiled, pointing to Anne Hathaway not far away: "What do you say?"

Looking at Anne Hathaway, who was wearing a one-shoulder dress and revealing her left shoulder, several people let out the laughter that we all understand, and looked at Chen Tian and Jessica Alba at the same time.

Although there were rumors of Chen Tian and Anne Hathaway at the beginning, the two did not have any intersection later, and in their opinion, it was just a hype at the time.

Ben Affleck is 192 tall and is a standard white handsome guy, which is the external reason why he has captured many Hollywood beauties.

"Ben, you're going to be able to succeed. ”

"Of course!" said Ben Affleck, full of confidence, ruffled his hair, and saw a flower arrangement not far away, and walked over first.

Picking a red rose, he pinned it behind him and walked towards Anne Hathaway.

Anne Hathaway's more than a month-long job as an assistant ended two days ago, and she arrived in Los Angeles yesterday to audition for a film.

She knew that there might be a party for her, so she came.

As soon as she walked into the manor, she saw many directors.

Walking through the fruit area, she saw a familiar figure, and this figure was Chen Tian.

However, she also saw Jessica Alba standing next to Chen Tian, although she was far from recognizing it as Jessica Alba, but her height made her sure that the other party was not Scarlett Johansson.

Anne Hathaway wanted to walk over to say hello, and Ben Affleck, who had finished picking the flowers, was walking towards Anne Hathaway. I saw Anne Hathaway walking towards Chen Tian.

"Why don't we go get something to eat?"

Chen Tian looked at Jessica Alba and nodded. He didn't eat much at night.

"Justin!"

Chen Tian just turned around. A familiar voice was heard.

"Annie. Chen Tian looked at Anne Hathaway and laughed, "I didn't expect to meet here." ”

Anne Hathaway laughed, "Can't I come here?"

After speaking, he looked at Jessica Alba: "Hello Jessica, I'm Anne Hathaway, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"Hello Annie, I'm Jessica Alba, nice to meet you. You're so beautiful tonight. ”

Tonight, Anne Hathaway wore a one-shoulder dress with her sleek left shoulder exposed to the air.

The proud breast enlargement is covered by more than half, and the slightly white ravines exposed are even more attractive.

Even if she is also a woman, Jessica Alba has to admit that Anne Hathaway's body is much better than hers.

Ben Affleck walked over and was amazed by Anne Hathaway's playboard, closed his eyes, and focused on Anne Hathaway's face.

The long blonde hair that coiled up perfectly flattered Anne Hathaway's cheeks.

Chen Tian then noticed that a stranger had come to this side, looking at Anne Hathaway.

"Annie. Nice to meet you, I'm Ben Affleck. This is for you, and it really matches you. ”

As Anne Hathaway looked at him, Ben Affleck pulled out a rose from behind.

With what he thought was a charming smile, he brought the flowers to Anne Hathaway.

Anne Hathaway didn't expect to meet someone who would give her flowers here, and being favored by a man as a woman speaks volumes about her charm.

As for liking each other or not, that's another matter.

In particular, Ben Affleck is really handsome, a typical white handsome guy.

Chen Tian looked at Ben Affleck, he was not impressed by Ben Affleck's appearance, but he knew his name.

"Escape from Tehran", the Oscar-winning film, is his own work directed and acted in, with which Ben Affleck has become a hot person.

However, this film will not be released until 2013, and there are still ten years before now, and Chen Tian doesn't know what kind of actor Ben Affleck is at this time.

Ben Affleck glanced at Chen Tian and Jessica Alba, smiled at Anne Hathaway, did not speak but the meaning was obvious, hoping that Anne Hathaway would accept the roses he had given.

Ten-year-old children know that roses are not just given to the opposite sex, Anne Hathaway looked at Ben Affleck, she knew that Ben Affleck's woman was very popular, and many famous A-list actresses had a relationship with him.

"Thank you for the flowers. Anne Hathaway took the flower and smiled charmingly.

"Can you invite you to a late-night snack then? You're charming tonight. Ben Affleck thinks he's very attractive, and he does, otherwise there wouldn't be so many actresses willing to give him a hug.

But he's not trying to catch up with Anne Hathaway, he's targeting Jennifer Garner right now, he's just hoping for a friendly match with Anne Hathaway.

He has realized this idea in many women, and in Hollywood, this kind of thing happens every night, and there are many of them, who wake up in the morning and go their separate ways.

Anne Hathaway is not a fool, although agreeing to date a guy means that you are willing to be in a relationship, whether the end goal is a one-night stand or a long-term one.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I made an appointment with Justin tonight. Anne Hathaway said apologetically.

"And Justin Chen, is this your reason for rejecting me?" Ben Affleck still maintained a charming smile, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious when he glanced at Chen Tian.

In his eyes, Chen Tian is not a threat at all, not to mention that Chen Tian is accompanied by Jessica Alba tonight.

Chen Tian didn't expect that he would be so despised, although he was used to this before, and he was also working hard in the contempt of others.

After returning to 2003, he relied on his own efforts to change this view little by little.

Whether it's Lionsgate, MGM or Universal, they all have a lot of respect for him. Although this respect is based on the other party's desire to rely on him for profit.

Chen Tian knew that most of the people in this world did not have friends for no reason. Especially in shopping malls. The so-called friendship is based on certain needs.

The three major companies' wooing and respect for him also made Chen Tian's mentality and before the crossing change.

It's no longer the mentality of being cautious about ruining his efforts for fear of offending others, which is the fundamental reason why he dared to bet with George Edgar of the New York Post.

"Isn't it impossible?" Chen Tian looked at Ben Affleck.

Anne Hathaway stood next to Chen Tian, and on the other side was Jessica Alba, and Chen Tian became the focus of the scene with two beautiful women beside her.

Ben Affleck seemed to feel the ridicule of his friends not far away, and he felt embarrassed.

"Do you have time tomorrow?" said Ben Affleck, ignoring Chen Tian's words, looking at Anne Hathaway.

Being ignored so nakedly also aroused the competitiveness in Chen Tian's heart.

Anne Hathaway hasn't spoken yet. Chen Tian took over the conversation: "It's impossible tomorrow, and it's not possible the day after tomorrow." ”

Ben Affleck's anger rose suddenly, but in order to maintain his gentlemanly image, he suppressed his anger: "Annie?"

Anne Hathaway didn't reply, but moved her steps to Chen Tian's side.

"Don't you think it's rude to disturb people like that? If you're willing to stay here, then please. After Chen Tian finished smiling, he directly let Ben Affleck walk towards the place where some meals were placed.

Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba also left with Chen, and Ben Affleck was left alone.

It made Ben Affleck's face hot, and he rarely had such an embarrassing experience. Not to mention being a man he thinks is far inferior to himself.

"You should have given that guy a punch just now. Just as Chen Tian was chatting with Jessica Alba and Anne Hathaway, a man's voice came from behind him.

Anne Hathaway turned her head. He looked surprised, because it was the genius director Quentin Tarantino.

"Beauty, don't look at me like that, it will put a lot of pressure on me, I know I'm not as good-looking as Justin.

I think the most important thing for a man is talent, and of course Justin is very talented. "Quentin Tarantino looks like a hooligan, and if you don't know him well, you must be a little scared to see him, especially a woman.

Chen Tian turned around, he didn't expect it to be Quentin Tarantino talking to him.

Although he and Quentin have never met, the two are kind of sympathetic.

For Quentin Tarantino's cinematic ability, Chen Tianhe appreciates.

When Chen Tian broke the negative news several times, Quentin Tarantino stood up and publicly expressed his support for Chen Tian.

The last time he met Waltz at the New York International Film Festival, Chen Tian had fantasized about meeting Quentin Tarantino.

Later, several times of support from the air made Chen Tian want to see Quentin immediately, he didn't expect to see it in such a place.

"Should we come for a hug. Chen Tian put down the plate and opened his arms.

"Actually, I would rather have a hug with two beautiful women. Quentin Tarantino smiled and hugged Chen Tian.

When the two met for the first time, they didn't feel the slightest sense of being separated like old friends who had known each other for a long time.

"Quentin, I have a lot of ideas to talk to you about, maybe you can help me. "Chen Tian wanted to invite Quentin Tarantino during the filming of the new "League of Assassins".

At one time, Chen Tian also planned to invite Wu Yusen, after all, he was the one who carried forward the aesthetics of violence.

Although Quentin is only a learner, Quentin adds a lot of his own characteristics to the process of learning to imitate.

In Chen Tian's opinion, this is very suitable for the appreciation style of Europeans and Americans, and Quentin Tarantino is a very important person in the independent film revolution in the United States in the 90s.

The ability to control commercial films and art films is very good, Chen Tian's understanding of commercial films is more of his own summary, "The Queen Wears Prada" is fortunately a simple modification of the original script after all.

"League of Assassins" is different, this is Chen Tian's first commercial masterpiece in the true sense, and Chen Tian cannot accept the result of failure.

Plus Quentin Tarantino is a super screenwriter in his own right, about the new League of Assassins script. Perhaps Quentin can give a lot of useful good advice.

In the same way, Quentin might be able to give him some other useful suggestions. So he wanted to invite Quentin Tarantino.

"I can't ask for it. But don't you worry about leaving two beauties behind?" Quentin said with a smile.

Jessica Alba laughed, "Go ahead, we'll be waiting for you here." ”

"Jessica, you need to come along, you're the heroine, I want Quentin to give some advice, Annie, come over too, how about we go over there and sit?" Chen Tian pointed to the rest area not far away.

Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba watched the two chatting like friends who had known each other for a long time. Especially Jessica Alba is the heroine.

But there was hardly much time to talk during the whole process, and the two of them were completely accompanying roles.

"I'll go back and study it seriously and then give you some of my suggestions. Quentin Tarantino said with a smile.

"Quentin, I don't have such a simple request, I also hope you can help me, how about co-directing?" Chen Tian thought about it and proposed this proposal, originally he wanted Quentin Tarantino to be his deputy and be an assistant director.

But now that he's changed his mind, he's worried that Quentin will feel slighted if he brought it up.

Although the other party may not necessarily think so, Chen Tian is worried that this may happen in case of this.

Quentin Tarantino didn't expect Chen Tian to come up with this idea. He is no stranger to co-directing, and he often directs films with others.

If it were any other time, he would have agreed. But this time he refused: "Justin, I'm really sorry, I can't promise you this." ”

Hearing Quentin's answer, Chen Tian couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Looking at Chen Tian's disappointed expression, Quentin acted as if his prank had succeeded: "If you don't co-direct, I can be your deputy, assistant or assistant director on the set?"

Chen Tian was stunned, he looked at Quentin Tarantino and felt incredulous.

Quentin Tarantino shrugged as if I was the bad guy: "Your idea ticks my heart, but I can't say yes, and I don't even want to be on the credits."

I know you're making a bet with Fox on this movie, and if I show up I think it's going to give people some bad feelings, because I seem to be a little bit more famous than you right now. ”

"Even if I don't have any credit, there will be some bastards who will think that I am the most important one, and I don't want to affect your success because of my bastard's existence.

So I'll help you, but I won't accept your invitation, but I'm not without a request. Quentin looked at Jessica Alba to the side.

"Jessica Alba, you must want me to help Justin, right? If I help him, you need to grant me a request, will you agree?"

Jessica Alba didn't expect this incident to have something to do with him, looking at Quentin's wicked smile, Jessica Alba didn't feel at all that it must be fake.

But the thought that Chen Tian seems to attach great importance to Quentin Tarantino, and that she is also the heroine of this movie, is a little embarrassed: "What request?"

"Justin, I envy your charm so much. Quentin Tarantino laughs, "I was recently working on a script with my friends, and now the script has been perfected.

We need a heroine, the perfect heroine.

It's a big production, male-dominated, but the heroine is important. ”

"A role?" Jessica Alba didn't expect the deal to be a job for her, and that role was a heroine.

Even without the influence of Chen Tian, she is willing to appear in Quentin Tarantino's films, even if she has not read the script herself, because Quentin Tarantino represents high-quality films.

So when she heard that she was invited to play the heroine, she naturally wouldn't refuse, which also made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"However, there is a problem, the heroine in this play plays a stripper, so ......"

"A lot of nudity?"

Jessica Alba couldn't help frowning, this is something she doesn't want to hear, she has missed a lot of opportunities in her acting career so far because of her refusal to be nud.

"Yes, there are many, because this is the story of Sin City, and this comic, perhaps you've heard of it, is based on this one. Quentin Tarantino said truthfully.

The film is the pinnacle of his personal violent style, and he has recently been in contact with the actors. Jessica Simpson expressed to him the idea of playing the role of Nancy as a stripper.

He also thought about it seriously. But after seeing Jessica Alba tonight. He felt that Jessica Alba was a better fit.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept nudity. Jessica Alba didn't want to refuse, but she shook her head and refused.

Anne Hathaway was envious and wanted to tell Quentin Tarantino that she would like to play such a role.

She'd already figured it out, and if she could, she wanted to fight for it when she was done.

"It's a shame, but I think you can play that role perfectly. Although it doesn't sound like a good character. Quentin Tarantino said with some regret.

Chen Tian knows that in the end of "Sin City", the role of Nancy is still starring Jessica Alba, and there are many fewer nude scenes in it, but they are all done as stand-ins.

"Quentin, why not use a stand-in, I've seen the Sin City comics, and to be honest I don't think anyone could be more suitable for this film adaptation than you. ”

"Stand-in? Wow, I didn't think of that, Jessica, when I get back, I'll send you the script. If you'd like to star, give me a reply. OK?" Quentin Tarantino said with a smile.

Anne Hathaway felt a little lost in her heart, even though the role was not hers in the first place.

Jessica Alba is a year younger than her, and she and Jessica Alba are more actresses on the same level.

After all, Scarlett relied on "The Horse Whisperer" to make a name for herself when she was a child, and she and Jessica Alba only became famous in the past two years.

She took over "The Queen Wears Prada", and Jessica Alba took over Chen Tian's 100 million yuan production "League of Assassins", and Quentin Tarantino's "Sin City".

Before these two big productions, there was also a comic book adaptation of "Fantastic Four", although none of these three films started filming, and it was at least a year before their release.

But Jessica Alba, who has three major commercial films in hand, has obviously surpassed her, and Anne Hathaway has a little loss, and she can only hope that "The Queen Wears Prada" can change her acting career.

Jessica Alba nodded, if she used a stand-in, she wouldn't have any problems.

"By the way, don't forget to ask the Waltz you introduced to contact me, and you can help me see my Inglourious Basterds script, don't forget to bring up any suggestions you have.

I still have something to do over there, so I left first, and I am often in contact by phone and email. Quentin Tarantino said as he looked at the text message on his phone.

"Okay, no problem, you go over first, I'll contact you. Watching Quentin Tarantino leave, Chen Tian felt that tonight's party was really worth it.

If he hadn't come to the party, he wouldn't have met Quentin Tarantino.

Looking at the time, Chen Tian stood up and prepared to look around with the two of them before leaving.

As soon as Chen Tian stood up, Jessica Alba shouted, "Be careful!"

But her reminder was too slow, not to mention that Chen Tian was too close to the people who came over.

Bang!

Chen Tian directly crashed into a person and directly crashed back into his position.

The person who was hit by Chen Tian stumbled, and the fruit in his hand spilled on the ground on the side.

"I'm really sorry I bumped into you. Chen Tian was embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. The person who was bumped into by Chen Tian wiped his suit.

Chen Tian bumped into not a woman, but a man.

However, this man brought Chen Tian a surprise: "Christopher Nolan?" Chen Tian asked with an inquiring tone.

The man in the suit stopped his movements and looked at Chen Tian: "Yes, I'm Christopher Nolan, and you're Justin Chen?"

"Yes, I'm Justin Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you here, I'm a big fan of Memory Fragments. Chen Tian smiled and stretched out his hand.

Chen Tian is indeed a loyal fan of "Fragments of Memory", he watched it seven times when he watched it for the first time, and then he watched it countless times.

And this "Fragments of Memory" is also Christopher Nolan's famous work, which became famous at the St. Denis Film Festival, thus making him famous.

He is an all-round talent who can direct, write his own scripts, and shoot his own photography. Not only is he very capable of directing and scripting. In photography, it is far from Chen Tian's level that can be compared.

Christopher Nolan is a quintessential Englishman. However, Chen Tian is happy not only because he bumped into an all-rounder like Nolan, but because the key figure in the later Batman reboot is Christopher Nolan.

He wrote the script and then finished the new Batman story that impressed Warner executives, and then he got the opportunity to direct the new Batman.

In the end, the super blockbuster "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" successfully appeared, not only a box office hit, but also a good reputation.

The important thing is that in this big production, Christopher Nolan's use of IMAX, the most advanced film shooting mode, gives the film a greater effect.

How popular IMAX technology was in later generations. Chen Tian knows, but Chen Tian is not very good at this technology.

Chen Tian also intends to learn through the opportunity system, and Christopher Nolan is undoubtedly a good candidate, and more importantly, he can direct Batman, which is supposed to be what he directs.

In this way, Chen Tian himself can direct Superman, so he needs to choose one of the two films, and he is unwilling to give up either one.

Of course, Chen Tian wanted to invite Christopher Nolan to direct, and he and the Ellison siblings were responsible for part of the investment, so that they would not completely make a wedding dress for Nolan.

Including the next Dark Knight, also directed by Nolan. This film finally won a global box office of up to $1.08 billion, becoming the fourth film in the world to have a box office of more than $1 billion. It is also the first superhero movie to exceed 1 billion at the box office.

The box office alone is enough to make countless people crazy, if Batman continues to hand over to Nolan, then as long as the quality of the future generations is maintained, Chen Tian is confident that Warner will hand over the follow-up rights to him.

"It's an honor that I have Justin as a big fan of Miracle Director Justin, and I'm a big fan of yours too, it's not a lie, and I admire your ability to control the film.

I've always wanted to find a chance to study, but I didn't expect to meet here, and it's such a coincidence, if I change to a beautiful woman, it's a standard movie scene, isn't it?" Christopher Nolan said with a smile.

"Why does it sound like we can make a gay movie? I have an idea, do you want to try it?" Chen Tian said directly.

"Idea, give me a try, is it a good script, and now all of Hollywood knows that your script is valuable. Christopher Nolan wasn't a compliment, he meant it.

"No, it's not a script, it's a right, I want to invite you to write a script for Batman, of course it can be Superman, but I want to give Batman to you. ”

Christopher Nolan was stunned, thinking there was something wrong with his auditory system.

"Batman, Superman? Justin, are you talking about these two?"

"Yes, it's these two big guys, I got the authorization of Warner, I will be responsible for the production of these two films, of course, if the early stage is not done well, then I can only regret saying goodbye to these two big guys.

I'm going to be in charge of Superman myself, I've been looking for the guy with Batman lately, I didn't expect to meet you here, my gut tells me that you're that guy, that guy Batman is waiting for.

Are you interested? I would like to invite you to cooperate. ”

Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba both looked at Chen Tian, who had just learned that Chen Tian had been authorized by Warner Bros. to obtain the rights to Superman and Batman.

Neither League of Assassins nor Sin City can compare to Superman Batman's fame, even though these two superheroes have not appeared on the big screen for many years.

But this does not prevent people from loving these two big guys, even "Fantastic Four" can only barely match, but only barely.

And these two films will definitely have heroines, and they don't have to imagine that the heroines of these two films will make many girl stars crazy.

Anne Hathaway was determined to try to get one of the roles, and Jessica Alba went with the flow, even though she wanted to get the role too.

"Justin, can I confirm that what you said is true and not a good-natured joke?" asked Christopher Nolan cautiously.

His last film was "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" the year before last, although this remake of his Norwegian film ended up grossing hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide, but he did not get more opportunities for guidance.

In the past two years, he has appeared more as a screenwriter and cinematographer in major films, although he has received the attention of many big directors. But that's not what he wants.

He has always been eager for the opportunity to direct himself. It's a pity that he didn't have many opportunities in the past two years.

Come to this gathering today. He didn't think about any opportunities to direct himself, after all, this was a gathering place for directors and actors, and he got more opportunities to invite him to write scripts.

Writing scripts and making films, he prefers the latter, but the Goddess of Opportunity comes so quickly that he can't help but feel crazy, even if it's just an invitation at the moment.

"Yes, it's not a joke. But really, if you want, I will give it to you, including the final directing rights, of course, as for how you write the script or shoot it, all I want is a proposal.

If there is no problem, I will not veto, I believe that your ability can handle it. Chen Tian said with a smile, Christopher Nolan's expression made him happy.

This also gave him a long-term idea, which is to reach a more long-term cooperation with Christopher Nolan. Instead of letting him sign a contract with Warner Bros. as he did in later generations, and become the exclusive director of Warner Bros.

"Christopher. The most important thing is that you don't think about saving money, you aim for the best, as long as you can get it done, I think it's valuable, then I'll let you direct, I promise.

I have a request, though, and I hope you'll give it serious consideration. ”

"A request?" Christopher Nolan thought for a moment, he knew that no chance would fall on his head for nothing, as long as the request was not too much, he was willing to agree.

"I want to sign you a contract, not just for this film, but more precisely for you to be my partner. Chen Tian looked at Christopher Nolan, who was a little puzzled, and continued, "A ten-year contract, in this ten-year contract, I will give you an annual salary worth 1 million every year.

On the basis of annual salary, as long as you have a good script, I want to have the right of first refusal, and of course, if I have a good script, if you are satisfied, you can also direct.

On top of that, you'll get the director's salary, including the screenwriter's fee and the box office share. ”

also has a basic annual salary, and at the same time can direct movies, and if the script he writes is excellent, he can also get the right to direct, Christopher Nolan really can't believe that there is such a crazy good thing in the world.

It wasn't just smashed on his head, but the pie fell straight into his mouth.

"I will guarantee that you have the right to direct several films in the next ten years, you can propose this yourself, I believe in your ability, if you don't have a good idea or a good script, you won't just try to direct, right?" Chen Tian said with a smile.

Chen Tian, who has experience in later generations, naturally knows how good Christopher Nolan is in later generations, and if it weren't for the contract signed with Warner Bros., he would have become the object of competition from countless large companies.

There aren't many films, but each one is a big hit.

If Christopher Nolan really agrees, it will be an important help for Chen Tian, and with Wen Ziren, he believes that the team of the three of them will become a powerful force to be reckoned with in Hollywood.

Chen Tian's words completely touched Christopher Nolan, and it was so incredible.

But Chen Tian's expression and words didn't look like a joke at all, which made him so tempted that he almost agreed.

But it was better for reason to tell him to be cautious, although Chen Tian didn't look like he was lying to him at all.

"Justin, can I see why you're willing to give me this opportunity? There are too many people like me in Hollywood? I don't think a lot of people will turn you down. Christopher Nolan said seriously.

Chen Tian laughed, of course he wouldn't say that he knew how sought-after he was in the later generations, so he did this: "Christopher, I said that this is God's arrangement, do you believe it?"

It was such a coincidence that I bumped into you, and I admire your directing and writing abilities, and I considered some screenwriters when I received permission from Warner, and you were one of them.

Just bumped into you and there seems to be a voice in my head. ”

Chen Tian shrugged: "It's just so amazing, I don't know why, but I just did it, I want to come according to what I really think in my heart."

If you don't believe it for a while, I won't mind, because if someone says this to me suddenly, I will also feel that it is okay, I can ask Warner Bros. to give me a proof of authorization, and then I think you will not doubt me again. ”

Although Christopher Nolan is more than ten years older than Chen Tian, he is only 33 years old now, and his experience over the years has made him a little troubled and lost, and Christopher Nolan immediately said when he heard Chen Tian's words.

"Justin, I'm not suspicious of you, I believe what you say, you're a miracle director, and if you're really willing to offer me a contract like this, then I don't think there's any reason for me to refuse. Christopher Nolan said seriously.

If Chen Tian really deceived him, he could use the weapon of the law to protect his rights and interests.

Chen Tian is also a public figure, and he believes that Chen Tian should not joke about his reputation, so he feels that he will directly agree.

Hearing Christopher Nolan's words, Chen Tian smiled and stretched out his hand: "I'm glad you agreed, I just said a lot of ideas casually, we can discuss it at a deeper level, if you have any good ideas or what ideas are requested, you can put them forward." (To be continued......)
