Chapter 134: Fruits of Victory (2)
Almost instantly, he was firm in his thoughts.
The temple of this world movie, there are a large number of eye-stimulating and flashy commercial films, but there are also many really good films with gold and jade, as long as you are a filmmaker, no one does not yearn for here.
Once, he never dreamed of a place, but in this life, he got a ticket for 2012.
And now, directors and artists, because of this lawsuit, almost consciously stand together, and his connections can be said to have invisibly sown seeds!
What is missing is just a blockbuster film to prove his acting skills!
However, Nolan can give him this opportunity, maybe Nolan himself doesn't know how wonderful Batman 2 is, and how expressive the legendary "Joker" cast by Heath Ledger with his life is the legendary one who has no one to come.
The least thing he worries about is his acting skills, this role is what he took the initiative to ask, and it is the role he really wants to challenge!
Prove yourself in the madness!
Nolan doesn't even know how high the evaluation of Inception is, IDMB is a once-in-a-century encounter, and the masterpiece with the same score as "The Godfather" completely sent Leonardo to the altar!
Now, there is no Leonardo, only him! With Nolan, a verbal promise that he didn't know how important it was, after a Sceptlene, Lin Xiao didn't say anything about the Super Process Dragon, but it would never be too low!
Inception, Batman 2, two plays down, is enough to prove his worth.
"Mr. Nolan." Lin Xiao sighed, "Thank you." ”
"You shouldn't say thank you, I don't think I can go to heaven after I die without forgiveness." Nolan said sincerely.
Lin Xiao stretched out his hand, "Lin Xiao." ”
Nolan was stunned for a moment, then showed his first smile of the night, and also stretched out his hand, "Christopher. Nolan. ”
Laugh at the grudge.
And Lin Xiao believes that Nolan, who has a guilty heart, will only go all out to shoot these two dramas!
"Mr. Nolan, I have two reluctant requests. I'd like to discuss it with you. Lin Xiao thought for a while and said.
"Well, you say that, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."
"First thing ......," he pondered, "I actually think the dream script is pretty good......
"Smack!" Nolan clapped his hands and smiled, "Coincidentally." ”
"Lin, you know, I told you that I had been thinking about this story for almost ten years! I've had this dream since I was a student. ”
"If possible, I want to shoot Mr. Nolan first, I'm afraid Mr. Nolan doesn't know yet, I have made an agreement with Warner, it will be the time I choose for Batman 2 to shoot, Mr. Nolan doesn't have to be afraid of no filming."
"Yes!" Nolan agreed without thinking, "I've been obsessed with this script lately, oh, the idea of several layers of dreams, it's incredible, it's completely appealing to me!" ”
"Mr. Nolan, how long do you think it will take to complete this script if you put your best foot into it?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Half a year! Give me another half a year! Nolan said solemnly, "This is my dream, I already have a lot of things in my head, and now all I have to do is to coordinate them and write this script, I feel like a fish in water!" That's the script for me! ”
Lin Xiao nodded secretly, this way of interweaving time, space, and thinking is indeed what Nolan is good at.
"The second thing is that I am going to set up a school in China, and in order to improve the level of China's developing film and television industry, I hope that Mr. Nolan can go and teach, and he can ...... once a month."
Nolan suddenly waved his hand and smiled slyly, "Lin, China is your territory, right?" ”
"Huh?"
"Then why don't you rent a room with beautiful mountains and rivers, and I write scripts in China and give lectures by the way?"
Depend on!
Lin Xiao smiled, this method was good, he didn't even think about it, but Nolan proposed it himself.
He wants to change China's film and television industry, but the task is like a mess, as if he can start anywhere, but he can do it everywhere.
Brought in, he didn't know what to bring in, whether it was appropriate or not. And letting Nolan teach is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to probe it!
Even if the Guangying Department is dissatisfied, but this is his school, it must turn a blind eye.
In addition, the 07 Asia-Pacific Film and Television Awards, the highest award in Asia in the future, should be prepared.
In the dark, he has an intuition that this award is the most critical step to bring in.
"Thank you."
"You don't have to say thank you."
After Nolan left, Lin Xiao asked his secretary to book a plane ticket to return to South Korea.
However, he did not have time to leave.
The head of the artist department of the WMA asked him to meet in San Francisco.
seemed to have pinched the right time, and just when Lin Xiao was about to book a ticket the next day, the other party's phone called.
San Francisco, which was glorious during the gold rush of the mid-19th century, was named Gold Mountain, and later changed its name to San Francisco in order to distinguish it from Melbourne, Australia.
"Mr. Lin." A gray-haired lady greeted Lin Xiao with a smile on her face, "I'm the deputy director of the artist department of the WMA, you can call me Mary." ”
"Miss Mary."
The meeting place was a private club, and Mary brought a secretary with her, as well as a heavy amount of information.
"It's your contract."
Lin Xiao took it and looked at it suspiciously, and raised his eyebrows.
Level 2 Contracts!
"My salary hasn't reached five million yet, right?" He asked quietly.
"It doesn't matter." Mary smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, according to the contract, we didn't pave the way for you in Hollywood before, but you single-handedly brought down Warner, and you paved the way for yourself." ”
"Now that you enter Hollywood, it is only a matter of time before you get a salary of five million, and the most important thing is ......" she glanced at Lin Xiao and said, "With this opportunity, you already have room to develop in Hollywood." You don't have to start from scratch like other Asian artists. ”
"According to this contract. WMA will connect you with Hollywood films. From now on. And everything else that can be convenient, fast, and solid to boost your popularity. Moreover, advertisements in Europe and the United States will also enter our sight. ”
"Provided, of course, that you have to get into Hollywood as soon as possible. The audience is forgetful, this time the turmoil is too big, everyone remembers it vividly, but how long can it last? Half? A year? I feel like a quarter at most. ”
Lin Xiao nodded: "Then please worry more about the company." ”
"This is as it should be, and we will dig into the value of every artist, but ...... It's really rare for an artist like you to encounter this kind of thing and turn it into a huge opportunity. ”
"Mr. Lin, we look forward to your arrival." Mary stood up and smiled, "Come to the very top of this colorful movie pyramid." ”
"Don't worry, I'll stand up."
"Oh, by the way, besides, the generic ad has been put in place for you. You are really a blessing in disguise this time, and after learning that you brought down Warner, GM's top management immediately made a decision. Your agent will let you know when the time comes. ”
Mary was gone, and Lin Xiao stood in front of the window, looking around at San Francisco.
Hollywood, I didn't expect to cut in with this opportunity, which is something he didn't even guess.
But, as Nolan and Mary say, this is really the best opportunity. He's ready to walk to this final stage.
The accumulation of little by little has finally arrived today.
"There are still a few months." He secretly clenched his fists.
As for how the Hollywood public speculates and comments, he doesn't want to pay attention, and he, because of this big lawsuit, received Warner's $20 million in compensation, the role of the Joker, the Norland promise, GM's endorsement, and WMA's second-tier contract.
Such a lawsuit simply made him want to do it again.
The plane carried him from the clouds to South Korea.
At this moment, it is eleven o'clock in the evening in South Korea.
Cui Rongpei sat on his sofa and did not fall asleep.
The computer in front of him and the web pages he opened were all related to the big lawsuit in the United States.
Hollywood's film and television, part of which represents the world's film and television popularity, as a government supported by the United States, the Korean film and television industry pays great attention to Hollywood.
In the past few days, he has watched a life-and-death battle.
The number of characters involved, the high status of the characters, and the amount of money involved are almost unheard of in the history of Hollywood.
He originally scoffed and secretly laughed at Lin Xiao for being crazy, but he didn't expect that in just one week, the situation changed abruptly, and Warner, who originally had the advantage, was defeated!
Shocked, he had other thoughts for the first time.
Warner is defeated, if the protests at the end of the year break out, will Yingxing dare to tie Lin Xiao up?
Once it goes too far, will it become the next Warner?
He didn't want to know what Warner paid for the out-of-court settlement, but he could guess it, it was definitely the price for Warner to vomit blood.
Once this thought germinated, it was like a devil lingering in his heart.
"Chairman...... He arrived. Suddenly, someone gently pushed the door and said.
Cui Rongpei's eyes flashed, and he was silent for a while before saying, "Did the car send it over?" ”
"It's already at the airport."
"Well, let's go down."
The staff went out, and he frowned as he recalled the chips in his hand.
He didn't really want to go toe-to-toe with Lin Xiao, even if he invited the other party to help, it seemed that he would have to take some kind measures now.
One person challenged a company, and he won! forced Warner, one of Hollywood's Big Six, to settle out of court. With this kind of experience from the past, he also felt that he couldn't see through Lin Xiao.
"Looks like ...... I'm going to have to talk openly and honestly with each other......"
