230. Deliberation
After all, Li Chong tossed all day, and in the afternoon in such a tense atmosphere, this time after getting into Wright's car, he began to be groggy, Wright did not bother Li Chong, but went straight to a bar in Brooklyn, where Larry was waiting for him.
Originally, Larry was going to accompany Louis and wait for Li Chong, after all, he was also half of Li Chong's teacher, and some things would be easier to do if he was present, but before Li Chong arrived this morning, a phone call from one person made him change his itinerary, and that person was Nolan.
"Batman: The Dark Knight", which was released in July, swept the world's major theaters, and has won nearly $1 billion at the global box office so far, which is the highest box office in the Batman series, and it is also the one with the best reputation, which is nearly three times the box office of the previous "Batman: Time to War", Nolan saved the Batman series with two movies, and Nolan has plans for a new movie in less than three months, of course, the first to find is still Time Warner, and it is still the old partner Larry.
As for Li Chong, it's not a big deal for Larry, let's put it first, anyway, Li Zheng wants to enter Hollywood sooner or later, he has to find himself.
"Steven, wake up, we're here." Wright woke up Li Chong, who was already asleep, and Li Chong shook his still somewhat dizzy head, and it was already sunset outside.
"Man, let's go, Daddy Larry is waiting for us, but there's another guest there, we need to be careful." Wright looked at Li Chong, who was still a little confused, and said.
Li Zhong followed Wright into a bar in an alley, and as soon as he entered, there was a burst of country music inside, very cheerful and fresh, "Look, there, let's go over." Wright saw Larry there and waved at him and said to Lee.
Li Chong walked up to Larry's table and saw the wine glass on the table, "Larry, do you think you should punish yourself with a glass, you woke me up in the middle of the night!" Li Zhong said with a smile.
"Steven, you little fellow, I did a good thing, you can't be ungrateful, I just heard about it, you are like a pie in the sky to make a lot of money, this meal is not your treat!" Larry doesn't know why he's so happy, so he's in the mood to joke with Lee.
"No problem, as long as you can drink, I pay as much as I drink." Li Chong also said with a smile.
"And mine!" A very magnetic, slightly London accent came from behind him.
When Li Chong came over, he saw a man sitting at this table, but he had his back to him, and he didn't care, anyway, Larry would introduce it later, but as soon as he heard this voice, Li Chong suddenly had some surprise, and turned his head suddenly, "Nolan?" ”
"Of course it's me, it's been a long time since I've heard from you kid, I heard that you've started to be a film director?" Nolan looked at Li Zhong and said.
Li Chong is really a little surprised, in 2000, Li Chong was the photographer of Nolan's movie "Memory Fragments", and then in 2001, he participated in the filming of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" as an assistant director, so Li Chong and Nolan are very familiar.
"It turns out that Larry's father saw you as the person, but didn't you just finish filming "Batman"?" Li Zhong sat next to Nolan and asked with some confusion.
"He's a person who can't be idle, and he started preparing for the next movie when he was filming "Batman", if I wasn't the producer, he would have started writing the script, and even if you don't come today, I'll go to you." Larry took the call.
Li Chong was a little puzzled, what does it have to do with himself? "What does it have to do with me, is it because you're already planning to shoot my "Chaser"? Are you going to let me adapt the script? There is only one reason that Li Chongneng can think of.
"Hehe, little one, what are you pretending to be foolish with me? You're not going to Hollywood? Even the movie has been chosen, my crew has gone, and now the funds are almost not in place, as long as Wright calls the money, we can start filming immediately. Larry was very dissatisfied with Lee's attitude of pretending to be stupid.
Li Chong was a little confused by what he said, what did he enter Hollywood? What movie? What crew? What funding? What a place to be!
Larry saw that Li Chong really didn't know this, so he asked Wright, who was already sitting next to him, "Isn't the movie you want to shoot Steven is going to shoot?" ”
Li Chong also looked at Wright.
Wright smiled bitterly, "What is it! This movie was decided to be made by a few of our classmates to commemorate Steven, and since graduation he seems to have disappeared, none of us have found him, and we all thought he was gone, so we planned to express all the beautiful moments of our college years in the form of movies. I happened to have some money in my hands, and I knew Larry's dad well, so I had this movie. ”
Li Chong listened very moved, after he returned to South Korea, he didn't say that he forgot these classmates, just because he had been busy with his own affairs, and then his feelings were frustrated, he really didn't have the face to come back, so Li Chong has been avoiding these things psychologically, delaying and delaying, delaying and delaying, until now, I didn't expect Wright to plan to make a movie to commemorate him.
Larry also felt novel, and there were such people, "Wright, you are really rich, and you took out $30 million just to commemorate your classmates, but why didn't you shoot in New York and go to Las Vegas?" ”
When Li Chongyi heard Las Vegas, he covered his forehead and said helplessly, "No, Wright, are you planning to shoot that experience and put all the memories of our ugliness on the big screen?" ”
Li Chong smiled bitterly when he remembered their experience in Las Vegas, it was really an unbearable experience, and every time someone mentioned that experience, the others would laugh like crazy, laughing until their stomachs cramped, and they rolled on the floor.
"Shoot, why don't you shoot, but this time you're back, you can take over, after all, you're a director!" Wright thinks why not shoot such an interesting thing, they have money anyway, and the film has been approved, the preliminary preparations have been completed, and now the crew is in Las Vegas.
"By the way, what was that experience all the time? Where's the script for the movie? I, the producer, have never seen it! Larry had been listening to the conversation between Lee Chong and Wright, but he couldn't understand it, and the two of them didn't make it clear at all, as if they were guessing riddles.
Wright was suddenly a little embarrassed, and scratched his head uncomfortably, "Well, I haven't got a script yet, so I'm going to come back and plan to let you find a screenwriter for me, and I'll dictate him to write it down." ”
Li Zhong picked up his beer and took a sip, then sighed. Sure enough, Wright does everything except for investment, and never plans in advance, when he was in school, every party was planned by others, and Wright left a very, very deep impression on them when he planned once.
That time was a Las Vegas Super Party!
