Levy expressed his support for Nolan's desire to shoot Inception. Although he didn't know if Nolan would still be as successful as he remembered a few years earlier, since he had already brought it up, Levy chose to believe in his self-confidence.

And since he went to prepare for that movie, then there is a new problem here.

Since Nolan is no longer filming X-Men, Levy naturally has to find a new director to direct the scene. Originally, the first name that popped into his mind was Brian. Singh – After all, he is the one who directed the film in memory, and there is nothing wrong with him directing it.

However, this idea was soon shattered by reality: compared to the X-Men, Brian. Singer was more interested in Warner's return to Superman.

This result made Levy a little helpless: in his memory, this guy was a Superman fan and quit the X-Men filming in order to direct Superman's return. Unexpectedly, now, he prefers Superman and refuses to shoot the X-Men.

Levi could only accept this result, and after he refused, Levi quickly thought of another person: Stephen. Sommos, who seems to be idle at home now.

This director is also a very famous director, and he also knows many famous movies. It's just that in his movies, there are both successful series of movies like The Mummy, as well as things like Extreme Cold and Van Helsing, which are relatively poor at the box office. Now, he really doesn't have any movies to make - Van Helsing, which was released in 2004, invested 160 million, but only got 120 million at the North American box office, which greatly damaged his reputation, and no one asked him to film during this time.

However, Levy thinks that his films are still okay. The problem with his films is that the brain hole is too big, too fantastical and jumpy. However, in terms of business elements, the use is still very good. For such a director, if there are some restrictions and management, and don't let him make the movie too nonsense and bizarre, he can make achievements.

The filming of the mummy was done after he failed to shoot the extreme deep cold, and he cooperated with Universal Company. At that time, the script was also written by him and five screenwriters, so it was much better. If Universal can do something to limit him, so can Levy.

Let him take over. It should be possible.

Choosing directors for other films in his own company is also what a film company boss should do, and his business is more than that.

Because he needs to shoot this movie for a long time, he can't help more people, so when Levi thinks about company affairs, he also has to think about getting actors who have a good relationship with him. There are some plays that can be played.

However, what kind of play should these actors play, and how can they be most beneficial to themselves, this is also a headache for Levy.

In fact, when I saw this year's Brokeback Mountain win. Levy is also thinking about this problem: the impact of some of the things he did in his early years now seems to have a butterfly effect, and this effect will only get bigger and bigger. By next year. There's never going to be another Infernal Affairs to win an award, and if Martin Sr. wants to win an award, he's going to have to shoot something else - albeit with his qualifications. As long as he shoots a gangster film that he is good at, and the shooting level is above the standard, he can almost win awards in this environment, but will he shoot something above the standard? That's a problem.

In addition, this year's crash did not win an award, so will next year's Tower of Babel attract so much Pete and others? Without stars, will it still get attention? This is also a problem. Besides, Eavesdropping Storm has already been released, what will be the best foreign language movie next year? Will Pan's Labyrinth get an award? Or will other films compete with it?

These questions are now starting to surface. If in the past, Levy could take a good movie and collide with a movie that he knew the level, then now his trouble is that he doesn't know what level other movies will shoot at all.

And, as time went on, he just wanted to use some more scripts: who knows if these scripts are already drafted? In this regard, he can no longer act arbitrarily.

However, although these things cannot be messed around, it does not mean that he cannot do anything. He can still do it by buying the rights to adapt the novel, or by relying on his own memory to suggest that others act in some movies that can be successful.

And, there are films that he can be sure of, and whose original authors don't know how to write, and he dares to write them - for example, while directing his own films, he writes the draft of Midnight in Barcelona, and the rest is polishing.

This script was originally written by Woody Allen, and Woody Allen has very strong scriptwriting skills. However, one of the most striking features of Woody Allen's films is that many of his films are made for the characteristics of a certain heroine. In my memory, when Scarlett Johansson was working with him, he wrote the novel Midnight in Barcelona, but now that Scarlett Johansson is not working with him, it is unlikely that he will write this novel.

For such a talented person, the purpose of writing is to please the beautiful woman. But the premise of pleasing is that the beauty is on the side, and if the beauty is far away, they are too lazy to write.

Moreover, when Levy was filming, he also heard that it seems that Anne Hathaway, another Hollywood movie star, is now very close to Woody Allen.

Hathaway's career development can be said to be a complete tragedy. After acting in the princess diary became famous in one fell swoop, she became more and more crooked. Although she works hard enough and is serious enough, she has some problems with overexertion in everything she does, and it seems that there are some problems with her performance and career planning.

Although she also participated in the performance in Brokeback Mountain, and she performed well, her role in this play can only be said to be soy sauce. And for the sake of her own career, she is also working hard, and it just so happens that Woody Allen does not have a suitable movie girl now, and with Hathaway's hard work, they can also be said to hit it off.

I heard that Woody Allen has also decided to make a movie for her now, but the place where they shoot the movie is set in New York instead of Europe - obviously, Hathaway's temperament and style lack Scarlett's kind of burnout and confusion, and more of an American's stupid big sister temperament, she can't get along with the European atmosphere, so Woody Allen still chose the stage of the movie in New York.

For a truly talented person like him, the work written for different people is, of course, completely different. Scarlett and Hathaway are two different people, and the works they write are naturally different. Although his story is estimated to be a lingering scarlet love affair between men and women, but with a different protagonist, the story is different.

And this also allows Levy to leave the script of Midnight Barcelona to Scarlett.

The filming of X-Men 3 is over, and she has not found any good scripts for the time being. In Levy's memory, she worked with Woody Allen, but now she didn't go to Woody Allen, and in her original memory, she was filming Escape from Clone Island, but Michael Bay ran to shoot Batman, and these butterfly effects made her not have a very good script to pick up.

And her solution was naturally to ask Levy for help, and Levy also wrote this script. Of course, he himself is not going to shoot, just find a director to direct.

And Levy chose Sophia. Coppola.

In this world, Sophia. Coppola didn't shoot Lost in Tokyo, and although she divorced Spike Jones and went on to become a director, she made some other films, but her influence was slightly less significant, which made her less famous. Because she doesn't have enough fame, she is not as likely to get the investment amount of the film Cleopatra as Levi remembers, and it is still her main job to shoot some films with relatively small investment.

As a female director, the portrayal of delicate feelings and the portrayal of women's psychology in her films are very in place, which can shape female characters well. She came to direct Scarlett's movie, and Levy was very relieved.

In addition, some other novels and movies based on true stories in his hand, in his opinion, can also be tried to make. For example, a changeling suspicion based on real events, or some other movies based on novels, he can use all these things.

Levy can't guarantee that he will always be able to write a good script, but he can definitely guarantee that the actors who follow him will be able to choose better films than the ones he remembers, which will help their careers more. At least, Levy won't let someone he knows pick up some bad movies that can get golden sour plums.

Moreover, he also has such abilities.

In Levy's memory, from the latter part of the first decade of the 21st century, Hollywood films began to face problems with scripts. Now, this situation has begun to emerge: because the income from script creation is nothing compared to commercial blockbusters, people who study scripts seriously might as well write TV drama scripts to make money. This led to the decline of Hollywood's movie scripts. More and more biopics, more and more adaptations of novels, flooding the market in large quantities, began to crowd the stage of original films. Compared to the glory of the past, this has to be said to be a step backwards.

However, this regression is a good thing for Levy. After all, in such an environment, he can also seize more scripts and get more opportunities.

It's just that there is no need to rush these movies to shoot - if the memory is correct, next year's Best Actor and Actress will be Whitaker and Helen. Miller takes, the Doomsday Dictatorship and the Queen, these two biographical films, will be the mainstream tone next year, and it will be quite difficult to compete with those two actors.

Therefore, these films can be invested in filming later, and there is no need to rush. Moreover, maybe after Levi finished filming Three-Body Problem 2, his reputation will go to a higher level, and when the time comes, he will make a movie in exchange for greater benefits.

He has a lot of confidence in this. (To be continued......)
