Lin Xiao's brows furrowed.

This clue seems to say everything, but it doesn't say anything.

He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember what the head of the demon in Arab mythology was.

With a sigh, he withdrew from his mind, sat down with a smile, and said to Li An in front of him, "Director Li, when we meet for the first time, I really admire you." ”

The two complimented each other insincerely, and then he smiled and asked, "Director Li, is there something that I need to pay attention to?" ”

Li An smiled, "Indeed, there is something I want to talk to you about." ”

He restrained his smile, looked at Lin Xiao seriously and said, "You know, as a goodwill ambassador, although the Blue Camp will fully support you, but the Green Camp is not very good. ”

"For example, this time, there were a lot of directors from the Green Camp present. Young and vigorous, and a newcomer, I'm afraid there will be some offense, Mr. Lin has to bear with me. ”

Lin Xiao nodded, it seems that there are not many Taiwanese directors who are unhappy with him in this line, and they all have to let Ang Lee's identity play a round.

At the same time, he also gave Ang Lee a thumbs up in his heart.

The identity of the other party can ignore Taiwan and attack Hollywood wholeheartedly, but the other party is afraid that Lin Xiao will open his mouth to block these new directors with blood and strength, and he actually personally helps the other party intercede, this kind of incense is also extremely heavy.

It's a pity that he was afraid of Lin Xiao's small belly, but he didn't know that the other party didn't take these jumping clowns to heart at all, with the dawn in hand, if the other party really dared to jump out, then he would not be the director, but stunned.

"As long as they don't go too far, I can see that Director Li is not guilty of the past."

Li An was silent for a moment, sighed and said, "Mr. Lin, both sides of the strait belong to China, Taiwan's film and television industry is in a big decline, and it needs a lot of new blood to join, if you block it in Taiwan, they will be finished." ”

"Taiwan's entertainment industry can't survive without relying on the mainland." He smiled bitterly, "I will try my best to warn them, and I hope that Mr. Lin will give me a face when the time comes, and don't embarrass these juniors." They are newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, but they do not know that tigers can bite them to death. ”

Lin Xiao nodded. His position, as long as he holds the dawn, those who offend him dare to say that he is half dead.

There has never been an artist in China who dares to take over a big company like this, or even the entertainment circles of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait!

Li An saw that Lin Xiao agreed, and he didn't say much, this issue is too sensitive, if it involves the national issue, it will be self-defeating.

He changed the subject, smiled again and said, "Mr. Lin, do you know that this is the second time I've seen you." ”

"The second time?" Lin Xiao was puzzled, "It's the first time I've met Director Li, right?" Seen it before? ”

"You just don't know." Ang Lee laughed, "When you were in your last film, I watched you with the screenwriter of my new film. You didn't see us, though. ”

"Do you know Balzac and the little tailor?" He pretended to mysteriously lower his voice, "This film is my collaboration with its screenwriter, Miss Anne. ”

It's a pity that he didn't know that Lin Xiao even knew the content of his next plot clearly, but he still had to cooperate with Ang Lee's expression to make a serious expression.

"Anne and I were originally in Shanghai for a meeting, and when we heard that you moved the set, I stopped by to take a look."

Li An said while paying attention to Lin Xiao's expression, but unfortunately, he only saw seriousness, but did not see expectation.

He was stunned for a moment, his attractiveness in the country could not attract the other party?

"This film, I plan to hit the Oscars." He said in depth, "It's a love movie, and it's also the type you have played, I think you're very suitable, especially you don't reject love movies, so, is Mr. Lin interested in participating in the interview?" ”

Lin Xiao sighed in his heart, this is still here.

This kind of film is very controversial, especially when he knows that he is playing Broken Arm Mountain, although he can win awards, but now he is not what he used to be, and he doesn't need to take such a big risk to shoot this kind of scene.

However, out of politeness, he still symbolically asked, "Director Li, how is the schedule of this film arranged?" ”

"Filming starts in January next year."

Lin Xiao made a very sorry look, "I'm really sorry, Director Li, I already have an appointment for a film in January, and until June, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to find time to shoot." ”

"Oh, that's right." Ang Lee didn't feel sorry for it, he just made a symbolic proposal, after all, Oriental cowboy, this setting is too difficult to convince the public.

"It's okay, we still have a chance to work together in the future." He perked himself up and smiled, "Then let's talk about the main thing this time." ”

"Mr. Lin, I don't know what you think of China's film and television industry?"

Lin Xiao didn't expect him to ask like this, and said after a deep sigh, "It's still developing, but it's very limited." ”

"yes." Ang Lee patted the armrest, "Mr. Lin, any film and television person, Hollywood is their ultimate goal, we go out, bring back advanced methods, and spread culture for China in the world, this is the real film and television people." ”

"If you are not famous enough, you can only look at your own class. But artists like you, who have almost come to an end in China......" He paused and said, "I think it's necessary to go out and see a different sky." ”

"Director Li is right." Lin Xiao knew that the other party was the kind of film and television person who was unwilling to be lonely, and replied with deep sympathy, "Don't hide it, I'm ready to start planning to go abroad immediately, and I'm currently tutoring English." ”

Li An nodded, "I have a chance here, think about it, you are very suitable,

"What chance?" Lin Xiao's heart was shocked, the reward of the system came so quickly?

"I don't know if you know, Tim. Director Burton? ”

Is it his message? Lin Xiao's mind instantly lit up.

Director Tim, whose famous work Edward Scissorhands, can be said to be resounding in film history, familiar at home and abroad, and his unique scissorhands shape has fascinated countless fans.

He doesn't have many works, but each one of them is good at the box office, Planet of the Apes, Martians...... He is not a top director in Hollywood, but he is definitely a first-line director.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Xiao asked, "Director Bolton has a film appointment?" ”

Aside from this, he really couldn't figure out why Ang Lee would come to tell him in person.

Ang Lee smiled and said, "It's not a film contract, but there is a role that needs to be cast in Asia, and I recommended you." ”

Lin Xiao recalled it in his mind, but he was immediately confused.

Tim Burton, there are two films in '05, one is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the other is the zombie bride.

The two films all rushed into the top ten box office in Europe and the United States!

However, there is not a single Asian face in these characters. Where does the mission of the head of the demons begin?

After thinking about it, he decided to ask Li An directly.

"Director Li, is it convenient to reveal the name?"

Ang Lee looked at him seriously for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "Lin Xiao, you must think well, if you take this step, there is no turning back, Hollywood, it is definitely not as easy to mix as you think, even if you are a country and a line, as long as you are not from Europe and the United States, you will start from scratch when you come to Hollywood." ”

"Zhou Runfa, is Li Lianjie red? What about Hollywood? ”

"If you don't have a strong determination, you don't have to hit the foreign market, because if you fail, Hollywood's investment in production and director will not give you a second chance! If you succeed, the domestic expectations for you will be higher and higher, because you represent China! ”

"Have you really decided?"

Lin Xiao nodded without hesitation: "I've decided!" ”

The two looked at each other, and after a few seconds, Ang Lee retracted his gaze, "I said everything that should be said, and I can tell you in the video, it's Christopher. The film directed by Nolan, Batman. The Mystery of the Shadows! ”

Lin Xiao's heart beat violently.

He definitely didn't expect that the system would send such a big gift! It's a New Year's luxury package!

Christopher. Nolan, Inception became famous as a great director in one fell swoop, and the memory fragments of 2000 shone in Cannes, but they were not popular, but they won him a good name. And the Batman series is the first step for the other party to become a great director!

He finally remembered where the head of the demon came from!

Batman, the boss of the Ninja Organization, Lars El Gul! Man who lived for seven centuries! Die and soak in the mire to resurrect! The ultimate boss.

This role originally belonged to Japan's national treasure artist - Ken Watanabe.

I see! His hand jerked and tightened his grip on the armrest.

It was none other than Tim who brought Batman to the screen. Burton, known as the "founder of Batman." "But it's Nolan who makes it spring.

This old and young perfectly interprets the spirit of European and American hero comics for the world's audiences.

In the previous life, when Nolan was filming the mystery of the Heroes, he asked Bolton for advice many times, and the two talked about everything from the plot, from the original spirit, to the characters and props, until after the filming, Nolan's first sentence was "Pay tribute to the founder of Batman, director Burton." ”

In terms of age, Ang Lee has a pretty good relationship with Nolan. Moreover, the two have one thing in common, that is, they don't like to use computer special effects!

Nolan is notoriously repulsive to special effects, and in his opinion, there is nothing more immersive than the artist in person. And the world-famous Inception, the layers of wooden houses in the dream realm are actually made by him himself! Even this is reluctant to do it with special effects.

Unless it is a last resort, he resolutely does not use special effects. Therefore, his criteria for selecting artists, the first is, can they endure hardships?

And Ang Lee is good at seeing big things from small things and carrying big feelings with small people. For example, Broken Arm Mountain is like this, using special feelings to explore the society's tolerance of this circle, and also rejecting special effects, because this will destroy the strong sense of substitution in his films.

Lin Xiao secretly came to a conclusion in his heart, and it was probably because of this reason that the two came together.

"In this film, there is an Asian character, and many Asian group performances." Ang Lee looked at him deeply and said, "My relationship with Nolan is quite good, this opportunity is not to be missed!" ”

He suddenly slapped down the chair, "By the way, maybe you don't know who director Nolan is." Although he is a rookie, I believe he definitely has the potential to become a great director......"

"I know!" Lin Xiao suppressed his excitement and said, "I'm willing to try." ”

Ken Watanabe, it was because of this film that he cooperated happily with Nolan and then participated in Inception!
