231, loser

Larry looked at Wright dumbfounded, before Wright asked him to say that he wanted to make a movie, he didn't think much about it, because he always thought that Li Zhong was in charge, and Wright was just an investor, after all, Wright's identity was more or less known to everyone, but it wasn't until now that he realized that everything that turned out to be done by Wright, and the crew sent it over, except for an executive director, none of the rest could take charge of it alone.

"I regret 30 million, since you didn't shoot, you shouldn't have spent much, right?" Larry felt that his brain nerves were a little beating, although Time Warner was rich, but he couldn't be so stubborn, he really regretted it, especially now that Nolan's next movie is also a big production.

"Daddy Larry, don't worry, I'll call you the money in a while, this movie should be our independent investment, we don't miss these dollars, but we still have to rely on your Time Warner in terms of distribution." Wright is still relatively clear about reality, Larry paid the shooting funds so readily because of the background behind him, not to mention that he is still so unreliable, but with Li Chong, a filmmaker with a real background, Wright no longer has to worry about things other than money, after all, he also decided to make a movie when his mind was hot.

Larry shook his head and didn't say anything more, now it seems that it is really a good choice to let Li Chong and them invest independently, originally he thought that Li Chong had already written the script and planned to become an instant hit in Hollywood, who would have thought that Wright would be such a child's play, it was 30 million, not 3000 yuan! "Steven, there were originally two things to find you, but now it seems that there is only one left, and there is no problem with the release of the movie, even if it is a small-budget movie, we have released it. There's another thing that has to come to you. Didn't you send me some scripted snippets before? Nolan took a fancy to one of them and wanted you to write it, or you could sell us the license to adapt it. ”

After Li Chong sold the adaptation rights of "Chaser" last time, he took the time to send Lai Rui a script sample composed of more than 10 short stories, all of which are some of Li Chong's wild imagination, and Li Chong can expand them into movie scripts if he has time.

"Which paragraph? If Nolan is optimistic, is it the period that travels through the past? Or is it the microcosm? Or is it the Machine Age? Then it must be the part of the dream......." Li Chong crossed his fingers, and looked at Nolan every time he said one, Nolan in front of him kept shaking his head, until Nolan nodded when Li Chong said about the dream, "It's the part of the dream, I have always had the idea of making a movie about dreams before, and this little paragraph of yours has inspired me a lot, but I also read the movie script of your "Chaser", so I think it is more appropriate for you to write this script." ”

Li Chong heard Nolan say this, he had some heartbeat, if he wrote the script, he would have a great hope of becoming the assistant director of this movie, after all, they had worked together before, and Li Chong knew Nolan's shooting techniques very well. But thinking about it again, he doesn't seem to have that much time, he has to clean up Wright's mess, and there is a movie in South Korea that is about to be completed, a movie that is about to be filmed, and a TV series that has already begun to be filmed. His bet with Liu Xiuli is next year, and he can't afford to lose!

Thinking about it like this, Li Chong sobered up, Li Chong looked at Nolan and could only smile bitterly and said, "Nolan, it's not that I don't want to help you, I really don't have time in the past two years, I have to clean up the mess of Wright, a dead boy, I still have a movie that is about to be completed, a movie and a TV series that are about to start shooting, how can I have time!" ”

Nolan frowned when he heard this, "Then do you have time to write me an outline of that script about dreams?" I wrote the script for this movie myself. ”

Li nodded emphatically, "There is no problem with this, when I have time in a while, I will write out the outline, in fact, it is really a very interesting story in my mind......."

The four of them chatted for a while, and after Wright sent the money to Larry, Lee Chong and Wright returned to the hotel. Today, the two of them plan to talk at night, but in fact, Li is important to understand the situation and see what Cheng DΓΉ has come to this mess.

Li Zhong called for a bottle of red wine and said to Wright, who was already sunk into the sofa, "Say, how much money do you already have?" Don't say those perfunctory words to Larry, don't I know you yet? 1 million? Or is it 2 million? Li Zhong knew that Wright was an absolute loser, otherwise they wouldn't have almost sold their butts in Las Vegas when they came to Las Vegas.......

Wright smirked, "You still know me, I chartered Caesar's Palace for two days, and then I watched the movie and didn't know what to shoot, so I quit." ”

Li Chong is really speechless, Caesars Palace is one of the iconic hotels in Las Vegas, how much does it cost to charter a day!

"How much is left of that 30 million? Don't tell sΓΉ I don't even have 10 million left. Li asked after a pause.

At this time, the red wine came, and Wright poured a glass for Li Chong and himself, "How can there be so much, I invited the entire script to play for two days, and it cost less than $5 million in total, how can there be so many gamblers in the current economic crisis!" ”

Li Chong smothered the red wine in the cup in one gulp, but fortunately, it was much better than he imagined, at least 25 million remained, and it was enough to shoot a small-budget movie. "Wright, let's do it, I'll write a script, and then Time Warner will find a director to shoot, you will be the producer, and I will be the executive producer."

Wright was a little puzzled, "Aren't you a director yourself?" Since it's our film, why don't we make it ourselves? ”

Li Chong felt that he had been smiling bitterly after hearing that Wright was going to make a movie tonight, "How can I have that time?" It's not like you haven't heard just now, I've worked a lot in the past two years, and it's my best effort to be able to come up with a detailed script for you, and you said that if you come to this two years later, I can still have the time and energy, but I really don't have time now!! Li Chong now has a headache when he thinks about what is going on in him.

It doesn't matter if Wright thinks about it, in fact, this movie is the product of his bad mood when he thinks about Li Chong, and what impresses him the most about their college life is the madness in Las Vegas, they went from millionaires to penniless in three days, although absurd, but it is indeed his most memorable time.

After thinking about it for a while, Li took out the phone and dialed a number, and a slightly lazy voice came, "Uncle, is there something wrong in the morning?" It's only 8 o'clock! ”
