The two superstars did not stop performing the bridge in "Inception", when they heard the back of the person who had never looked back ask in an extremely powerful voice:

"Why do you think you can make The Dark Knight?"

"Mr. Abel, please allow me to introduce myself. Jason coughed dryly, just about to say something.

"Don't talk nonsense, answer my questions, you only have a few minutes."

Abel Warner took a puff on his cigar and didn't look back.

"Well, if that's the case, Mr. Abel, I don't think there's any need for us to talk any further." At this time, Jason showed his sophistication in lobbying the company's managers, and his tone became tougher.

"The gate is there." Abel leaned over and pointed with his hand, seemingly unconcerned about Jason's threat.

When Jason's face was full of embarrassment, Gu Xiaofan said loudly: "I wrote the script, I can only shoot it." ”

Gu Xiaofan showed his hole cards at the beginning because he felt that he was just an insignificant little person in front of Abel Warner, and he needed to take the initiative to fight for it.

At this time, Abel Warner turned his head, with an aristocratic elegant smile on his face, but the laughter was choking like cigar smoke, and beckoned to Gu Xiaofan:

"Director Gu, come and sit down, we're doing a casting, it's interesting."

Jason and Liu Shishi were stunned, but Gu Xiaofan stepped forward and sat down next to this old-fashioned white man with elegant manners and extremely vulgar feelings.

"Hello, Director Gu, you are more miniat......ure than I imagined" Although Abel is fifty years old, his figure is still very well maintained, he stood up and stretched out his strong arm, patted Gu Xiaofan's shoulder strongly, and shouted to Bell and Leonardo:

"Go on, two, the audition isn't over yet~"

The two Hollywood superstars hurriedly continued to perform hard, and the British director Nolan just focused on writing something with his head down, as if he was also waiting for Abel Warner's final decision.

Abel Warner crossed his legs, held a cigar in one hand, and clenched his fists excitedly and shouted:

"I want to see despair, your women die in front of you! You have to be more desperate~! ”

Bell and Leonardo immediately fell to their knees in even greater grief, screaming and criing, hammering the ground hard.

"Yes, that's how it feels." Abel Warner waved the cigar in his hand with satisfaction, and smiled presumptuously while holding Gu Xiaofan's shoulder with one hand:

"Director Gu, how about you see the two of them play Batman and Joker? I think they're very good, I'll give you two movies first, and I'll let Hasson arrange it for you, it's something like "Fast and Furious", and if you can do it, you can take over this "The Dark Knight". ”

Hearing this, Jason and Liu Shishi were both extremely surprised, they didn't expect this Abel Turner to be so easy to talk to, and he agreed to let Gu Xiaofan be the director of "The Dark Knight" from the beginning.

This is great news, but why isn't there a little excitement or excitement on Gu Xiaofan's face?

"What are your conditions?" Gu Xiaofan is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Script, what kind of NB script, isn't the copyright all in your company? That is, your hands. Abel stroked his pale blonde hair and smiled:

"You give me the script, I give you the opportunity, fair trade."

Gu Xiaofan shook his head: "I thought that the fair deal was that I took out the script of "The Dark Knight" and cooperated with Warner, I served as the director, selected the actors, and then I handed over the film to Warner for distribution, and the necessary condition was that I wanted to play the role of the Joker." ”

"Do you think that's what fairness looks like?"

Abel Warner showed a surprised expression, thinking to himself that a third-rate director from China was not attracted by his offer of such generous conditions, and he wanted to open his mouth and play the clown himself?

Gu Xiaofan knows that this is not easy, but it is not the first time he has persuaded others, he has already prepared gifts, he brought "Black Swan" and "Bursting Drummer", two Oscar-level scripts, which he wrote in the last year, which were used to make conditions for Warner, and were not made public.

But before he could speak, Abel Warner burst out laughing: "I said, Director Gu, are you kidding, you want to play a clown?" Haha, he said he was going to play the clown? ”

Abel Warner was smiling, but those who knew him knew that he was furious, he felt that he was going crazy, he had never encountered something more ridiculous than this, a young Chinese director, actually bargained with him, and what was even more incredible was that he actually wanted to play a clown.

That hook-nosed Moki was also laughing, and even Professor Jason was laughing, and they all seemed to think that Gu Xiaofan had made some ridiculous joke.

Gu Xiaofan wanted to explain, saying that he could come up with chips that could make your Warners excited, but Abel Warner's smile, the undisguised contempt and indifference between his eyebrows, made him unable to open his mouth.

"You can be a director, but you can't play any big role in Batman."

Abel Warner took a puff of his cigar, sprayed the choking smoke directly on Gu Xiaofan's face, and continued:

"I know you're a smart boy, so we should talk like decent people, and now you're not going to think about how to get a role from me, but about whether you have the ability to make the two movies I gave you, and how you got the right to be the director of The Dark Knight...... Oh my God, you want to play a clown~~"

Abel Warner smiled unscrupulously, wanting to make Gu Xiaofan embarrassed and make him lose confidence in continuing negotiations with him, this deliberate condescending posture was to tell the other party how small they were.

Gu Xiaofan only felt that his heart was stabbed by something at this time, and the enthusiasm when he came instantly became cold, and asked:

"Why can't I play the clown? This is a person wearing makeup, no matter what skin color. ”

I'm not going to play Batman, I'm just the villain of the Joker! And I don't have an accent problem now, why not?

"Why? That's not a question for smart boys. ”

Abel Warner looked at the low voice, and said with his hands outstretched:

??“ Look here, my friend~ Because this is Hollywood, and you are a Chinese, because Batman is the most beloved cultural symbol of the American public, even the clown has countless fans, among them are engineers, Ivy League students, sons of congressmen......

They are all Anglo-Saxons, and Chinese in the minds of many of them, they are still insidious villains with pigtails and only promising to be on the plate, and the Chinese can play good roles, but you can only play the 'Chinese' instead of the United States, such as a police detective from China, such as a martial arts master from China, such as a monk from China......

Am I clear enough that way? ”

Gu Xiaofan's fists clenched slightly, but his voice did not tremble: "It's very clear......"
