Chapter 166: Inception

Although there was still a bit of unbelievability in his heart, Li Xuan quickly got up from the bed, simply cleaned up, and then contacted his personal agent team as soon as possible.

Because he is in Los Angeles, Rob Pelinka chose to personally help him fight for this opportunity this time, obviously also attaching great importance to the temporary role interview opportunity given by Leonardo's rise.

After simply saying goodbye to the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and letting them leave first, Li Xuan, who had postponed his return, quickly went to the agreed location with Rob Pelinka and the director who forwarded Leonardo before.

"Christopher Nolan, such a new Hollywood director, can casting be such a child's play?" In the process of going to the agreed place with his agent, Li Xuan, who barely made himself mentally better, was actually a little unconvinced, and still a little thought that Leonardo's recommendation was too easy.

However, Li Xuan's agent, Rob Pelinka, has been taking Kobe Bryant and other NBA superstars in an entertainment city like Los Angeles for a long time, but he doesn't care at all: "Do you really think that getting a chance to stand out in Hollywood only depends on outstanding personal ability? In fact, that is just a very unimportant point among many reasons." After all, in a city like Los Angeles, there are too many actors and models with real level and strength, but only the ones with the best luck can really succeed. And why are they lucky, is it really God's mercy and favor for them, not exactly, connections, these are the more important factors!"

"Are you saying that in Hollywood, in addition to luck, in fact, those stars rely more on connections, just like I was recommended by Leonardo this time?" Li Xuan also understood this statement more easily.

"Of course. It's a bit of luck that you're able to meet Leonardo this time. But to get Christopher Nolan's audition opportunity, it was not just luck, it really relied on Leonardo's connections. So. You'll have to get on good terms with a big Hollywood name like Leonardo, but don't get into a fight with Orlando Bloom like you did in London. While it's true that Orlando Bloom's fault, it doesn't do you much good. in this circle. It's more about learning to be false and wrong. Rob Pelinka, the agent, is seriously telling his personal work opinions.

Li Xuan nodded, showing respect for his words. However, there are some situations that I will slowly grasp by myself, and I will not argue with my professional agent for the time being.

He is still focusing on the opportunity to be interviewed, and he is still trying to adjust his mental state: "Listen to Leonardo, this is a movie about dreams, do you think this is a literary film or a commercial film?"

But Rob Pelinka clearly cares more about the director Christopher Nolan himself, whom Leonardo worked with: "No matter what style of film it is, it's a Christopher Nolan film, and it's a great director with quite a lot of potential." As long as you can make the most of today's interview. It is very beneficial for the future development of your career as an actor. After all, you are an extremely special one, not only a super football referee, but also an actor whose image and acting skills have been simply recognized but are still in the state of a newcomer. If you can continue to get roles in Hollywood movies that are not Chinese-style, you can instantly expand your development path even more!"

"I hope so, but I also like Christopher Nolan's style of film, and he's a very thoughtful director. Li Xuan did have a little expectation and emotion.

Indeed, Christopher Nolan, who is a very literary Hollywood film director, may have something to do with his growing up constantly shuttling between Britain and the United States. His films are always a little different from traditional Hollywood films, but they are full of different charms.

In particular, his superhero movie series "Batman" reboots this set of American superhero movies that have been filmed many times, but brings a new and different dark style interpretation to the movie. It is still well received by the majority of fans and peers, and has created a rather beautiful result.

And his other film works, although they may not all have achieved excellent box office results, they are still easy to impress people, and they are definitely not linked to bad movies.

The film of such a director is, first of all, in terms of the quality of the work. Don't worry too much, for many actors, working with such a director proves in itself that it will not fail!

Of course, Li Xuan is relatively clear that he can't get a role like Leonardo's actor in Christopher Nolan's movie.

Therefore, he is actually in a more expectant mood, and slowly makes himself less urgent and suffers from gains and losses, and instead chooses to repay with a mentality of knowing a great director like Christopher Nolan first, just like when he first met Li An.

I have to say that it was a very good experience to have a local snake agent in Los Angeles, so Li Xuan came to the agreed location by Christopher Nolan very smoothly.

The time was just right, not too early or too late, and as soon as they sat down here, Christopher Nolan came over in time.

Like most Hollywood directors, Christopher Nolan travels very low-key, without the posture of those superstars, and a very simple casual dress, but few people can recognize it in time.

If it weren't for the fact that before he came, Li Xuan deliberately found a few photos of Christopher Nolan, and he wouldn't have dared to confirm that the other party was Christopher Nolan.

"Hello gentlemen, I'm Christopher Nolan!" Christopher Nolan, who was born in the seventies, still looks relatively young, just a little chubby, and looks like an ordinary employee working in the crew, with a good attitude.

Li Xuan and his agent, Rob Pelinka, of course, responded politely at the first time and introduced themselves briefly.

"Rob, I remember that you should be the agent of Kobe Bryant in the NBA, why are you also in the entertainment industry now?" Christopher Nolan seems to have heard of Kobe's agent, so he seems a little curious.

Rob Pelinka explained very casually: "For a new challenge, I want to participate in the magical life of you amazing people. ”

Of course, after accepting Rob Pelinka's explanation with a smile, Christopher Nolan also remembered that he did not snub Li Xuan, and even expressed even more incredulity: "Actually, in addition to Rob's new career, I am more interested in your career." If I remember correctly, you are a football referee, and I briefly checked your information before I came, but I still can't believe that you are still an actor!"

"In the same way, like Rob, I am looking for a new challenge outside of football, to enrich myself and to reflect more of my personal value. Li Xuan said this deliberately, but hurriedly made the three of them laugh together.

Just a simple smile, the atmosphere between the three people, which was still relatively unfamiliar, was immediately dispersed a lot.

Then, Christopher Nolan began to get straight to the point: "Gentlemen, I have a film in my hand right now, which is waiting to be produced, but I haven't gathered all the actors, except for Leonardo and the heroine, the rest have not yet been decided. Then, I happened to be recommended by Leonardo, so now I really want to talk to you seriously. ”

"I take the liberty of asking, can you tell us what kind of movie it is? I heard Leonardo say that it will be a movie about dreams, that is, a dream or a memory movie?" Li Xuan saw Christopher Nolan shift the topic to work, so he didn't hesitate too much, and quickly raised his personal doubts.

Anyway, both parties have already officially met, and it would be a complete waste of time not to talk about something important right away.

Christopher Nolan was not surprised by Li Xuan's doubts: "I knew that Leonardo didn't tell you in detail what kind of movie this was." In fact, in my plan, this dream movie should be a sci-fi commercial film. And it's not as simple as dreaming as you understand it, but we're going to turn dreams into reality!"

"The dream came true, and it sounded like it was very feeling. Li Xuan immediately became excited, "In other words, Mr. Nolan, are you going to shoot a scene about someone dreaming?"

"So to speak, and then, we will continue to enter the scene of dreams within dreams, just like a ring after a ring, a mirror within a mirror......"

In fact, I gave him a name for the time being, called Inception, and you can barely get a literal feel for the framework and content of the whole movie. Nolan confidently and briefly, but his attitude was full of pride and appreciation.

When Li Xuan heard this, he became even more interested: "Wow, Inception, what a great feeling! Then I don't know what roles Mr. Nolan still needs, I'll try to see if I can be qualified for one of them?"

"How about the character of a wealthy Asian, a young business tycoon who is trying to prove himself by going on a big job?" Christopher Nolan seemed to have an idea, and then said a character prototype very seriously. (To be continued.) )
