The appearance of Inception, he expected, but how to shoot now? Time simply can't be worn.

As soon as Nolan's script appeared, there would certainly be a lot of companies willing to invest money, but the economic crisis would soon erupt.

It is impossible for Lin Xiao to invest in Inception, because of the lack of cash in his hand, and now the funds for DVD and online on-demand have not returned, it has only been more than a month, and he only has a total of about 500 million US dollars in hand, and the contract of Warcraft is about to expire, if he fails to cooperate with Blizzard this time, it may be difficult for Blizzard to sell movie rights next time, and the most important thing is that the merger of the new line needs to eat a large number of shares, and then invest in a Dream of Theft, and the funds cannot be transferred at all.

Holding back the thoughts in his heart, he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Nolan, I must tell you one thing, that is, now that all the funds in my hands are planned, there is not much money to make your movie. Earliest...... It's going to be 08. ”

Nolan was stunned, "Chibi has returned a large amount of money, and it is a net profit, it is hundreds of millions, and you have used it all up?" ”

Hearing that Lin Xiao didn't speak, Nolan also sighed, "Lin, we are friends, but you can understand the screenwriter's feelings, once it is written, I can't wait to shoot it immediately, it has been more than a year since the last Batman, I am very satisfied with this movie, and I have decided to launch it as soon as possible." ”

Lin Xiao nodded secretly, the relationship between the two was not good enough for the other party to keep a painstaking script for him to film.

After thinking about it for a long time, Inception, the global box office of 700 million, is not only a box office success, but also a very good reputation.

Investment is possible, but it cannot be wholly owned, which always makes him unhappy.

But now, many things are about to come, and it can only be said that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and after a while, he helplessly asked, "So, actor, have you decided?" ”

"Starring me, I've decided to leave it to you." Nolan's voice rang over the phone: "This is an apology for having appeared in court to testify against you. ”

"Can you shoot it within next year?" Lin Xiao sighed: "I don't have any time in the first half of next year, and I will only be free after August." ”

"It's okay, but August is the deadline, and beyond August, I won't wait."

It's nothing to drag on a film, even if Nolan starts planning now, it will start filming at the end of the year and be released in July and August next year, and he can drag it out for three months now, start filming in March and April next year, filming other roles, until Lin Xiao comes to make up for it in August.

After talking about this, he hung up the phone and smiled silently, Hollywood's first step, incomparably steady, World of Warcraft plus Inception, these two films that are bound to succeed are destined to push him to the club of ten with 20 million plus dividends.

Time passed day by day, he nested in the villa every day, either to write scripts or to accompany Qin Xin to go shopping, the two little guys have grown up slowly, crawling around like meat balls every day, attracting countless laughter from the two.

Of course, they don't shy away from others, Hollywood is very tolerant of artists, especially if he is not an idol artist.

The contract was taken quickly, and a few contracts were settled, which also gave him a little bottom in his heart.

JOBS SAID YES, AND DID NOT REGRET IT AFTER THE IPHONE WAS RELEASED, BUT NODDED AND TOOK OUT THE CONTRACT. GM, Cartier, are all contracts handed over by themselves, and he doesn't need to talk about anything.

During this time, he has been writing scripts, and what he wrote is not the script of Warcraft, but the Olympics, compared to Warcraft, the Olympics is the real top priority.

This script is not too difficult, the difficult thing is to implement, as long as this script is taken out, it is a top-secret existence, and its implementation will begin to be realized in the hands of Lin Xiao and Zhang Yimou, after the script is completed, it will be submitted for review, and then you need to customize props. Then there is a discussion between the two, what show will be on when, how many minutes will be over, how long the whole show will take, these are all things that the two directors need to consider, after these are completed, the props will be made, and finally, it will be a rehearsal day after day, intensively.

Therefore, his process is to finish filming Warcraft as soon as possible, and then put it into the rehearsal of the Olympic Games, for this reason, Warcraft must be filmed as soon as possible.

The days passed quickly, and Lin Xiao's whole person was almost immersed in the script, but the investment was huge, and the result was not satisfactory.

The highest, there are only two four-star stars, and most of the others barely reach three stars after countless modifications.

"Samsung." A cold voice sounded like a boulder again, Lin Xiao frowned and deleted the script he had just written, and this script was another week later.

In fact, these scripts only come from a prototype, that is, the prototype of the Battle of Quicksand, what he has to do is to disassemble these articles of only a few thousand words into parts one by one, and then select the characters who make the blood of Warcraft lovers boil the most, and revise the entire script based on the eyes of these people.

Thanks to the existence of the Warcraft Chronicle, Blizzard continued to improve the Azeroth Continent, which allowed Lin Xiao not to be blinded.

The current script is not far from the beginning, because the main line will not change at all, but the more he revises, the more he finds that it is too difficult to make a flower like a red cliff from this movie.

"Is there any hope for this script to become a five-star......" he couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Did you finally find out?" At this moment, the voice of the system suddenly sounded, "Warcraft, unlike the Three Kingdoms, the Three Kingdoms really have this history, which can be improved with reference to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms." But Warcraft is different, they only have one outline, and this outline is the Azeroth Chronicles, although it is much more detailed, but it is still far from the novel. Harry Potter can be said to not need a script, because even the lines can be copied. But Warcraft is different, it is a conjecture, a story, and the story is mostly used for circulation, and any story that circulates in the host's memory has only the main line, and no details. ”

Lin Xiao was stunned, isn't this normal? Which story has gone through thousands of years and still has details?

"So, the host's definition of this script in the first place is wrong."

"What is a five-star script, none of the five-star scripts are science fiction films, ghost films, but almost all of them are based on the theme of analyzing people's hearts, people are the main body of this world, and if they deviate from it, no matter how good the script is, it will be difficult to become the mainstream." The system was stunned and continued, "First of all, it is difficult to resonate with the audience, and secondly, Warcraft wants a magnificent atmosphere, not a cruel reality like Chibi, and you want to write it to five stars, which is a wrong concept in itself." ”

"This movie, which the system judged to be the top enjoyment of popcorn movies, can finally reach four stars. But it is impossible to reach five stars. ”

Lin Xiao frowned, and was about to say something, when the voice of the system continued, "Don't underestimate popcorn movies, it has another name, it's called commercial films." In the film industry, commercial films will always be the mainstream, but all five-star scripts can be named a 'niche', like you Chibi, in fact, it is stained with the light of IMAX+3D, the host should know what kind of sensation Avatar caused in the world you were alive. Avatar is not a five-star script, but the honor it has received is not inferior to a five-star script. ”

"Without commercial films, the film industry will not be able to make money, and if it is impossible to make money, no one will make it, and in the long run, the industry will fail. Now the three legendary directors, Lucas, Spielberg, and Cameron, are almost all outright commercial film directors, and more Oscar Best Picture is not remembered. Why? It's very simple, art can't be eaten, and when a company has money, it will want to win awards and increase its value. If you put Spielberg and Michael, the director of the big artist, in a small and medium-sized company at the same time, and only one can be left, there is no doubt that Spielberg will stay. ”

"If the award is not popular, it is high and low, no Hollywood artist dares not to make commercial films, because if they don't make popular movies, their worth can't go up, it can be said that 20 million superstars, of course, need the basis of awards, the host is now the halo of the two major actors, which is enough, but the club of ten needs the support of big red movies. None of them worked. So, the host doesn't need to be discriminated against for popcorn movies. ”

"In fact, the host of the previous life of Christian. Bale, because of the Batman trilogy, entered the 20 million club, but there is no dividend, and it is one of the top ten grossing artists in the world, so will the host still underwatch the popcorn movie? The system went on to say, "Four-star, in fact, is the top of commercial films, five-star movie scripts, can be met but not sought, that is a screenwriter's soul and thinking fierce collision, clever hand, and Warcraft, the host must recognize that this is a commercial film that will break itself into the 20 million club, it may have a part of analyzing human nature, but if you insist on adding, it will continue to be mink." ”

After saying so much in one breath, Lin Xiao was like a lightning bolt in the cloudy sky, and his whole thinking was transparent.

Oh, yes...... He sighed with emotion, it was he who was stubborn, and again, it was because Chibi's evaluation was too high, so that he had a kind of pressure not to reach the five-star level, but the pressure also depends on the material, the material of Warcraft, compared to Harry Potter, it is obviously light and thin, and Blizzard in many places can't justify itself, and Harry Potter is the product of J.K. Rowling's painstaking efforts, building a complete fantasy world, in which each person's personality and habits have strict character cards, and Warcraft itself is not the same level.

Even if it is Harry Potter, Warner has also chosen the positioning of commercial films, and Lin Xiao knows very well that his vision is definitely not as toxic as Warner's.

"That is to say...... I've already written the best myself? Lin Xiao smiled bitterly.

"If you are willing to give up, you will have to give up, you have given up the impossible five-star, in exchange for the spiritual carnival of fans around the world, this film is destined to be your name will be widely circulated among American teenagers."

"Just imagine, when Marshal Lin of Stormwind City walked up to Silisus, which was covered with yellow sand, with a big sword, from that moment on, these future masters of the United States completely accepted you. It's better to get a foothold from the game than if you shoot a five-star film. After all, movies are a kind of entertainment, and entertainment, what is needed is relaxation, and games are the best form of relaxation. ”
