"Does the director have a choice?" Lin Xiao suddenly spoke.

"Nope." Christina shrugged her shoulders, "You have to know that the people behind the scenes will not appear, and the mood of the Big Six is not fixed, if Nolan succeeds in directing, it is impossible to say whether the next film will be replaced by Cameron, they have no choice." ”

She rolled her eyes, "However, directors and artists have a basic right, that is, the right to fail." ”

"The number of times a director is allowed to fail is three. In other words, if his first film is bad, and the second and third are still bad, then he can get out of Hollywood. Artists should be more lenient, it is a four-time right. ”

"Finally, I would like to remind you not to challenge the Trinity now, there are some things that are taboo if you don't do it! I know you've had this experience, but it's better not to continue for now. ”

"Plus, I've got you a name on the Screen Actors Guild in Hollywood. A lot of things are more convenient, save it for when your focus really shifts to Hollywood, it's just a protective layer for you. ”

After saying this, Christina yawned, "Handsome guy, I'm going back, I can give you three seconds to think about whether to let me flow down." Three, one, well, the time has come, and since you have been so sincere in keeping me, I have decided to leave you with an unforgettable night. ”

"You seem to have omitted something." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Go back, see you tomorrow, I won't send it." ”

"No gentlemanly manners at all." Christina rolled her eyes and made a kissing gesture, "Keep up the good work, you have a chance to capture my heart." ”

Lin Xiao shrugged his shoulders and watched her plump back disappear outside the door.

The next day, Nolan's contract came over.

The million-dollar signing fee is the cheapest of all, and the contract clearly states the right to choose.

Sure enough, there is also a series of propaganda that Dawn must make.

Sid, the assistant director, was looking at Lin Xiao's expression at the moment, and his heart was full of emotion.

I heard that yesterday Nolan personally opened his mouth to give away a heavyweight role, like child's play, and when he learned that it was the villain of the Batman series, he was surprised.

This news was fed back to Warner that night, and Warner was almost furious, with an investment of 120 million! Warners paid $30 million, and they didn't want to repeat the mistakes of Cleopatra in the 20th century.

Just when several ministers were said to be rushing to Asia to theorize, the CEO himself spoke and suppressed all voices.

And the people below know that this artist is actually the largest shareholder of Shuguang.com and Sequoia!

Immediately, the original momentum suddenly turned into overjoy, and Shuguang has a good relationship, almost every large company compulsory course, although Shuguang is very low-key in the United States, for fear of attracting the attention of the anti-monopoly law, but, under the operation of Sequoia behind it, it actually lived well for most of the year, and the judicial department did not come to the door.

Watching the dawn every day can be regarded as a compulsory course for the Big Six, big and small artists, and independent film companies, and the impact of this website on the entertainment industry is fatal, not only in China, but also in the world.

It stands to reason that the judiciary should have had a heart-to-heart conversation with the head of the United States at Dawn, but no.

Opponents are red every day, trying in vain to dig out a fatal anti-monopoly flaw from the dawning buyout of the artist's broadcast rights, and then immediately report it to the judicial department, but unfortunately, Sequoia This kind of giant has supported Google, supported Oracle, and invested in Microsoft, how could this kind of mistake happen?

The Internet and film and television circles, coupled with a cautious venture capital giant, have formed a strange dawn phenomenon in Hollywood.

And now, the major shareholder of Dawning has actually entered into a relationship with Warner, and those who don't know have been smiling, but those who know can't cry or laugh.

Few people know that before today, the previous chairman Steve Keys had a move with the other party, to be exact, it was Steve Keys who pushed the wall down, and the drawbacks of the AOL acquisition broke out in 04, and the users fell sharply, forcing him to make a desperate bet before stepping down, trying to save the situation with the Chinese market, but he was unexpectedly pitted by his Asia-Pacific president Li Kebao and Camur.

The "culprit" who has now led to Steve Case's direct resignation has become their partner in the most important project in recent years.

What else can an insider say but a wry smile?

And in Japan, inside the Ministry of Transport, young people are already banging on the table and yelling.

"Deputy Chief Mishima! You're the deputy head of the Public Relations Division! Entrusted by Deputy Policy Reviewer Asakawa, he couldn't take the next role! You've let me down so much! ”

In front of Mishima was a man in his forties who was already bald and had delicate skin like a baby, his face was flushed at the moment, and his expression seemed to be eating people.

"This project can bring too much tourism revenue to the Shinkansen! The film with an investment of more than 100 million dollars involves the yen to be calculated in trillions! The deliberators, and even the head of the house, attach great importance to it, and now you actually tell me that Watanabe-kun, who represented the endorsement of the Shinkansen, was actually suppressed by a small Chinese artist? A mere Chinese plays his boss? Let the above know, is your PR a success or a failure this time?! ”

Mishima's face turned pale, and he kept saying, "Hi." "But he was still too hard to get his head up.

"So, you can only be a deputy section chief." The bald man trained for a long time, probably feeling that his mouth was dry, he picked up the delicate teacup on the table and took a sip, and said lightly, "This matter has been accepted by me, since Nolan doesn't give us face, we don't need to give him face." ”

"Mr. Matsuda, what is the Ministry of Transport going to do?" Mishima asked cautiously.

Matsuda was silent for a few seconds, his two fat and stubby hands rubbed against each other, his extremely light eyebrows were twisted together, and he said for a while, "It's not easy to do anything, Nolan's reputation in Hollywood is on the rise, if we do too much, everyone will not be able to talk about it in the future, the Japanese side does not have a leading practitioner in Hollywood who can speak too well, and the high-pressure policy will make the United States disgusted......"

"Then endure it?"

"Hmph." Matsuda snorted coldly, "Just master the degree, although we can't kick the Nolan crew out, but it's no problem to make him uncomfortable, I've approved the venue he wants, but drag him for a few days, let Warner allow us some benefits, such as still choosing Tokyo for the next film, which should be no problem." ”

He knocked on the table, "This morning, the approval has been sent, but I have attached a clause that is not allowed to be filmed during peak hours." ”

"The meaning of this peak period is wide, the peak is not the peak, it's not that I have the final say, he wants to stop all the lines, how can there be such a cheap thing?"

"The section leader is smart." Mishima said with a smile.

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a "bang", and a staff member walked in sweating, first bowed, and then said with a nervous expression, "Section Chief Matsuda, your approval for the morning ......"

Matsuda frowned, "Say!" ”

The staff glanced at Mishima lightly and whispered, "Pressed down......"

"What?!" Matsuda frowned, "The Ministry of Transportation nodded in this matter, and several censors spoke, could it be that the chief of the house personally suppressed it?" ”

"I don't know......," the staff member swallowed, referencing the wording, "as if ...... Reputedly...... It's a big guy who speaks...... In a word...... and did not implement the approval ......"

There was silence in the room, and after a few seconds, Matsuda waved his hand irritably, "Let's get out." ”

After the staff left, Mishima asked the general question, "Section chief...... You see? ”

Matsuda smiled, "There are powerful people involved, but it has nothing to do with us, we did it according to the instructions above, the sky has fallen high, what does it matter to us?" ”

Mishima thought for a moment, "Section Chief...... This character...... I'm afraid it's not simple, it was pressed down when it was sent out in the morning, obviously biased towards Nolan's side, and it's already afternoon, and the chief of the house has nothing else but ......"

He gritted his teeth, "I'm afraid, it's a certain big chaebol......"

Japan is a chaebol economy, and the status of the lord is not trivial.

Matsuda smiled, "Mishima, so I said you can only be the deputy section chief." ”

"Showing goodwill to Nolan, the big chaebol, related to the film industry, has extended its tentacles to the United States...... Who else can Japan think of? ”

Mishima's eyes lit up, "You mean ......"

Matsuda waved his hand, "It's good to know, since they are involved in this game, then it's none of our business, to put it bluntly, the Ministry of Transportation has to think twice, that one is in Japan...... No, the status in the world is very important, but I wonder why the other side is involved......"

No one knew about this scene in the Ministry of Communications, let alone Lin Xiao, because at the moment, he was going all out to study the script.

Generally difficult roles, the director will communicate with the artist in advance, such as the role of the Joker, Heath Ledger even got it half a year ago, and then, in order to ponder the Joker, he stayed in the madhouse for half a year.

This role has no emotional scenes, but many action scenes require him to be fully prepared.

At Christina's suggestion, his team of lawyers were insured in Japan and China, and this drama, judging from the filming alone, is definitely not easy to do.

Coupled with Nolan's aversion to stand-ins and synthesis, the danger to entertainers rises exponentially.

Action scenes, in general, except for real stars, there are not many people who want to pick up. Especially for such an extremely dangerous action scene, it's okay to be fine, once there is something long and two short, and you miss the film appointment for the next play, it is a big loss, and what is more serious is that you have signed a contract with a certain company in advance, miss the filming, delay the progress and even be unable to participate, and face a large amount of liquidated damages.

Lin Xiao has no new film contract recently, and it is impossible for foreign countries to be like in China, now it is not the film looking for him, it is he who contacts the film.

"Sleeping bags, down jackets, skin care products......" Christina took a list and checked the four or five large boxes in the room as if they were all in the room, and the people who were organizing the items were already sweating profusely.

“OK。” She quickly put the list into her clothes, "You and Nolan and they set off from Japan, and the address will be sent to me later, I need to help you solve some worries, I'm afraid the time will not be short." ”

Lin Xiao, who knew this well, didn't understand, he thought for a while and said, "On the American side, can you suppress it?" ”

"Wrong, it's not that I can't press it, Warner itself will press it."
