"No, I see that the manager is like this, and he almost made you an ancestor, and I think Mr. Kirk is very fond of you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info" said and glanced at the manager, and found that the other party's expression was as uncomfortable as eating a fly, but he didn't have a seizure, just stood silently on the side, waiting for Nolan's instructions at any time.

Nolan glanced up at the submissive manager next to him, and immediately became angry and said, "That's a superficial effort, if he really wants to talk to me, how can he leave me here alone?" In his opinion, MGM is just a pawn that can be discarded, and only this casino is his heart. ”

After speaking, he punched heavily on the sofa, looking like he hated iron but not steel. Zhao Chenfeng does not know much about the current situation of MGM, this company can be said to be infinite in the last century, its "Cat and Mouse" is popular all over the world, and its logo roaring lion head is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but in recent years, it has gradually disappeared from everyone's field of vision, until a few years before Zhao Chenfeng's rebirth, I learned the news of MGM's bankruptcy.

"Mr. Nolan, would you like to talk to me about this company? I came to Mr. Kirk this time because I wanted to work with him and invest in Marvel movies. MGM's professional ability Zhao Chenfeng is still quite assured, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, in the end, it is one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, even if the economic situation is not good now, but it is not a problem to make a movie, not to mention that he will choose to be a sole proprietor of this movie.

Nolan picked up the fruit on the table, stuffed a few mouthfuls into his mouth, and said: "I'm afraid it's difficult, MGM's budget has been very tight in recent years, and many high-level executives have changed jobs, although this year's "Legally Blonde" and "Hannibal" have good box office revenues, but there is still no way to recover the decline, so Mr. Kirk is also a little disheartened and intends to concentrate on the casino." ”

Zhao Chenfeng has also heard of these two films, and he saw a lot of related reports when he watched the news a few days ago, and took more than 400 million box office revenue. But MGM's pit is too big, if it can't continue to make profits, just the maintenance of the company's equipment and the salaries of professionals are a large amount, and the boss has no intention of making great efforts in the film industry, it is inevitable that people will be discouraged, and it will be a matter of time before the top level changes jobs.

"I think these two films should give Mr. Kirk a renewed confidence in the film industry, and when the time comes, MGM will make a few more blockbuster films, and MGM should get better and better." Zhao Chenfeng was relieved, he knew the future of MGM, if he didn't interfere, it was estimated that he would continue to degenerate according to the trajectory of his previous life.

Nolan shook his head and said: "It's difficult, MGM has prepared a film before, and it will be finished soon since 2000 called "Wind Whisperer", by the way, the director is still Chinese, Mr. John Woo, the investment in this film is not small, it is 110 million US dollars, but this film is ......."

Speaking of this, Nolan looked embarrassed, glanced at Zhao Chenfeng, and hesitated for a while. Zhao Chenfeng hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Mr. John Woo is a famous director in China, and the movies he has made before are also quite popular. "Zhao Chenfeng hasn't watched the film Wind Whisperer, because it's too long, and he doesn't have any nostalgic plots for old films, so he doesn't know much.

When Nolan heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "With all due respect, I'm afraid the box office of this film will not be good." I've seen the demo in Mr. Kirk's hands, but the whole story is so, the main character is like a plug-in, can sweep the entire European battlefield, and the soundtrack is substandard, I wonder if the soundtrack is sent by a competitor. As for some war scenes, Director Wu's handling is not good, it is too unreal. Anyway, all kinds of reasons are superimposed, and it brings all kinds of discomfort to people. ”

Nolan didn't have much experience in this kind of war movie, but as a director, he still has a high sensitivity to movies, when he watched the Wind Talker, he was disgusted for several days, and Kirk insisted that he give an evaluation, so he could only reply truthfully, but today he received such treatment.

After listening to Nolan's evaluation, Zhao Chenfeng blushed slightly, he has also seen the movies directed by John Woo, most of them are pigeons flying around and a shootout, the so-called Wu's violent aesthetics, but I have to say that the shooting of its gunfight films is still quite good, but war films will inevitably be substandard.

"The most important thing is that Mr. Kirk actually asked for a postponement of the schedule in order to avoid the war film causing the American people to hurt 911, which is simply nonsense! This period is the best time to release, even if the movie is a little worse, but with the current trend, it can also make "The Wind Whisperer" have a certain box office increase, at least it will not fall into a loss. ”

Nolan's words gave Zhao Chenfeng a great reminder, judging from the current situation, MGM is not far from bankruptcy, and Kirk does not have deep feelings for MGM, and is close to the stage of abandonment, as long as the box office of the wind whisperer hits the street, MGM will step into the auction ranks in a very short time, and his opportunity has come.

It's just that the current $1.3 billion is far from enough, he still needs to accumulate capital, and MGM is not the best choice, due to its excessive debt, after Zhao Chenfeng takes over, it is likely to be a mess.

"Mr. Nolan, what do you think of Marvel movies? If I were to start working on a Marvel movie, would you like to direct it? "Zhao Chenfeng is still quite interested in Nolan, this big director is willing to come over, I am afraid that the level of Marvel movies will go to a higher level, especially now that the other party has not yet ascended to the altar, it is definitely the best time to take the opportunity to win over.

Nolan touched his chin and said: "Marvel's movies are going to start filming, and they can only take the route of commercial films, but superheroes with current film and television special effects are very interesting, if you can really start filming, I am willing to try, but you can't be stingy with funds, this kind of blockbuster investment is too small, and it will definitely not achieve the expected effect." ”

got Nolan's approval, Zhao Chenfeng was also a little excited, the other party has also filmed superhero movies, but it is DC's Batman, and the clown in it is even more lifelike at his request, and is known as one of the most impressive villains.

Although many Marvel movies do not have too many requirements for the acting skills of the actors, and it is only the special effects of the movies that attract the audience to the cinema, but with such a big director as a guarantee, at least Marvel's previous movies will not follow the old path of the previous life. The Hulk directed by Ang Lee in 90 can be said to have been criticized countless times, whether it is lens processing or special effects, it has not been well evaluated, but it is just an early superhero movie that has not ended up on the street.

"Two gentlemen, Mr. Kirk has finished his board of directors and is rushing here." The manager went out to answer a phone call, and hurriedly ran to ventilate the two, Nolan is about to tear down the gambling paradise, if Kirk doesn't come again, then he will probably be unlucky.
