"Bingo! That's right—"

Nolan seemed to be in the mood for this topic, snapping his fingers, "Jonathan, what do you think if Sean became a director?" ”

Jonathan nodded, got the croissant in his hand from somewhere, bit the bread by himself, raised his head and looked at the surprised Sean, grinning, "At least you are much better than many pseudo-directors who claim to be great directors now, when the time comes, find an experienced assistant director, a reliable cameraman, I think you can try." ”

Nolan shrugged his shoulders with a look of "look".

Sean has to admit that the Nolan brothers' words made him feel a little hairy, although he is committed to improving his acting skills and wants to be an actor. But there's no rule that actors can't be directors, right? His idol Robert De Niro also made cameo appearances as producers and directors in his spare time in movies! So being an actor is actually a shortcut to directing.

It's a little exciting, uh, Sean thinks it seems, maybe, probably he can try to make a movie and play with tickets.

When it comes to playing tickets, Sean remembered his previous absurd experience in the Netherlands, when he bragged with Da Chang Face and Mr. Tang, he also seemed to have said that he planned to find an opportunity to film their experience, thinking of this, the corners of Sean's mouth curled.

"I have to say, you have found an investment project for our future film production company. If I have the chance, I will try to be a director. But now we seem to be concerned about the progress of the two ladies......"

"I'm sorry, we've already talked about what you're talking about—"

Michelle came over with a coffee and said to Sean with a smile, "Congratulations, you'll have an extra identity soon, no." Maybe it's two identities. ”

Emma Thomas also smiled and sat next to Nolan at this time, holding a stack of documents in his hand.

"Congratulations to the three gentlemen, our film company is here."

The three men looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and took three documents, and it seemed that after some consultation, the two women finally had a common understanding. The bond of representatives of this film company was also officially established.

"20 million!"

"Payroll?"

"Niang Xipi?"

The voice belongs to Christopher Nolan, a British golden retriever with a black teacup, Jonathan Nolan, a gluttonous strong man biting a croissant, and Mr. Sean Clos, a cute tough guy.

Mrs. Michelle and Emma Thomas looked at each other and smiled, this is the specific cooperation agreement after the two have been negotiated, and the terms are very careful.

The studio, which was named Sinkepi Film Productions, was funded with $20 million and a base salary for its employees. Nolan was surprised by the abundance of start-up capital, and Jonathan was more practical about having a salary.

As for Sean, at this time, he stared at the name of this Xinkepi with a cute face. Sean's silence was so silent that the other four were a little apprehensive. They all looked at Sean.

"What does this p mean?" Sean pointed at "Xinkepi" and looked at the two girls with a puzzled expression, and then his gaze swept to Nolan's face, "Are you sure this is the name of our film company?" This mother-in-law? ”

"This is the name of a German café that Nolan and I met at the English station." Emma Thomas explained very frankly, "I think this sounds good, doesn't it? ”

Nolan nodded happily and smiled pleasantly.

"Mother......" Sean shut.

"It's not Niang Xipi, it's Xinkepi!"

"Niang Xipi Film Production Company—" Sean continued in understanding.

"It's Xinkepi, not Niangxipi." Emma Thomas corrects Sean's pronunciation. Finding that Sean had a hard time curling his tongue for this slightly German-toned name, he couldn't help but cover his head. "Well, whatever you want...... You said that Niang Xipi is Niang Xipi, anyway, this is our Niang Xipi......"

"What do you mean?" Nolan looked at Sean suspiciously.

"The mantra of a certain character in an autobiography that I read earlier, you know, I have Chinese ancestry, and my Chinese language is okay. It's just that writing and reading are still a lot worse. When I was reading a book, I knew this sentence, which should belong to my mother's greetings......" Sean explained seriously, "You should understand that China has always been broad and profound. ”

"The Mystical Oriental Culture."

"I'll register the company with Mrs. Michelle this week. Then choose the office address and related affairs, I believe that I will be able to prepare this film production company in no time. You're not just a director, an actor, a screenwriter, you've added the status of the owner of the film production company, oh, as Michelle said, maybe the status of the producer. Of course, that will happen later......" Emma Thomas said with a laugh.

Sean, the owner of a film production company?

Gold medal producer Sean?

Great director Sean?

Actor Sean?

Sean thought about it for a while, and none of these titles seemed to be read by actor Sean.

In this not very spacious apartment, Niang Xipi movie ...... Ahem, the Sinkpi Film Production Company was officially established. Sean and Nolan have deepened their collaboration, and this collaboration has brought the two together.

Xinkepi, a family-owned studio-style film production company, has also become an old friend's workshop-style film company.

I believe that there is a difference from the previous life, maybe Xin Kepi will start to get in touch with film production earlier. The filmmaking here does not refer to Nolan's films, but to other film investments and productions.

For example, "Superman: Man of Steel", which was cooperated with Legendary Pictures and Warner, and later "Superman? Batman: Dawn of Justice and other films.

Of course, this seems to be too early now, and the company is still part of one of Hollywood's small studios that are closing every day. It is not a film company that will have in-depth cooperation with Warner in the future and has a very personal label. And with the transformation of the film company from a family type to an old friend type in this life, although the workshop method will not change, it is foreseeable that the personal label of this company will undoubtedly be reduced a lot.

Whether it is Sean or Nolan, no one has ever thought of developing this company into a movie giant like Warner and Paramount. This is basically impossible in Hollywood today. Living examples were placed in front of Sean and them.

Spielberg is the best example of this. What has happened to DreamWorks in recent years is clear. How difficult it is to become a Hollywood giant. Even the Spielberg trio were ultimately unable to support it. In the end, it was also acquired by giants.

The previous Nolan's approach was actually a bit smarter, he backed up to Warner, and deepened his cooperation with Warner, and this sharing of interests made him the new king of Hollywood.

Of course, none of these Sean nor Nolan will know now.

After the cooperation of the film company was confirmed, everyone's conversation became much more casual. Nolan talked about his interest in a Swedish film. After the release of "Memory Fragments", he thought about adapting the Swedish film.

"Is there any interest in participating in this film? If I can, I plan to start filming at the end of this year. In the second half of the year, I will run a film festival for "Memory Fragments", and it is estimated that I can start a new job at the end of the year. Nolan deeply understands that the distribution rules of his small-scale film are nothing more than running film festivals, Sundance Film Festival, an independent film festival in the United States, he will not give up, and from his other words, he seems to have ideas about several international film festivals.

This kind of film festival distribution and promotion method is indeed very suitable for this type of small-scale film, or many independent filmmakers take such a path. The Mexican director who shot the commercial before was also a forced routine, among which Wong Kar-wai was a leader.

Get an invitation from Nolan. Sean hesitated, "I'm sorry, Christopher. I'm almost going to start filming Fast and Furious in July, and Doug Riman already has a plan around the end of the year that I'll probably be involved in his films, and with a few more films coming out in the second half of the year, it's probably a bit too late. ”

Sean carefully calculated his schedule, and suddenly found that he really didn't seem to have a schedule at all. "Fast and Furious" is a movie that is settled. As for Doug Liman's film shooting, it is still a plan, but Doug Liman specially greeted Sean before. Sean can't be untrustworthy.

In addition, "Gladiator" and "Memory Fragments" have been released one after another, and Sean, as the starring actor of the two dramas, cannot avoid running publicity, which will delay a large part of Sean's energy, in addition, BMW's advertising will also be launched in the second half of the year.

Count it this way. Sean found out that he was going to be busy for a year, and it hurt a little to think about it.

Listening to Sean's words, Nolan felt pity. But sometimes it's just like that. The other party has no schedule, he can't force it, right? It can only be said that the shooting of the two people this time is a bit out of sync, and the timing is not right. But this is a common occurrence in Hollywood.

"It looks like I'm going to invite you to make a movie in the future. It's really time to set a schedule in advance. Nolan joked and teased Sean, "Looks like you're starting to be a Hollywood star!" ”

"You mean a ninth-rate star?" Sean laughed to himself.

"No, no, brother! You can at least be considered a third-rate star! Nolan said with a smile.

"Well, I'll admit I'm a third-rate star." Sean's expression changed, and he stared at Nolan viciously, "My offer for a third-rate star will not be 100 US dollars next time." ”

"Haha......" Everyone laughed, but they all understood that Sean was joking.

"I promise it won't be $100, man." Nolan continued, "I'll give you $200 as payment, how about double it?" ”

Sean raised his middle finger with a smile. In a joke, he made a future cooperation with Nolan. When the time comes, Sean will be able to star in Nolan's movie. (To be continued......)

ps:ps: Thanks to the bookworm for the big 200 tip!

Weak explanation, although Lao Mo is very chaotic, the gap between the rich and the poor is very serious, but the economic aggregate is really not very weak, there is a big saying that the Mexican economy is really not very good, I can only say that you are misleading. It's a messy place, and the gap between the rich and the poor is quite large, but just like our average salary report, the total economic output of people is still quite good! Anyway, our average salary is in the tens of thousands, right?

A remake of Infernal Affairs? Think about it, Martin Scorsese is playing too high, Infernal Affairs is really not fanciing! That proper Oscar consolation
