"Confirmed to be Christopher. Nolan? At the door of JSY, reporters gathered, and from time to time someone rubbed their faces and asked their colleagues next to them.

"Confirm!" Colleagues tend to answer with a sparkle in their eyes.

"The one who filmed 'Batman'?" Some people can't help but reconfirm. Before many of them could figure out the situation, they were directly yelled at by a phone call from the head.

"Hmm!" This kind of news cannot be hidden, and the situation at the airport has long been restored by netizens.

Occasionally, citizens passed by and saw the "grand scene" at the door of Jin Shengyuan's company, and couldn't help but guess that he had officially filed a lawsuit with the court? That's not right, there are too many journalists! Could it be that TVXQ's dissolution really has something to do with him?

In the company, Cui Xianjun and the three looked at these reporters speechlessly. It's not that they didn't invite these people to sit down in the living room, it's that they won't!

It's just that they are destined to wait in vain, and Han Jimin had already notified Kim Sung-won with another mobile phone when he received the call.

These people also understand, but on the one hand, they don't give up, and on the other hand, someone else has gone to search for Jin Shengyuan's whereabouts.

……

After receiving a call from Han Jimin, Kim Sung-won learned that the company had been "occupied" by reporters from all walks of life, so he took Chris directly to his villa.

The position of journalists is special.

South Korean police officers have this kind of awareness: In broad daylight, if the door of the police station is suddenly kicked open, don't be afraid, it is not the boss who is checking the work, let alone the terrorist attack, but a certain newspaper has recruited new reporters.

The habit of Korean newspapers is: When a new journalist joins the industry, the first lesson he and his seniors teach them is: "Firmly establish the dignity and self-confidence of a journalist!" That is, to get new journalists to establish the concept of "I am a journalist, who am I afraid of?" I dare to kick anyone's uncle's ass! "To do this, the first task for a new journalist is to kick the door of the police station! In the course of work, when a reporter who runs to the judicial entrance asks the police for news clues, he must not beg for news clues, but must sit down at his desk. patted the policeman on the shoulder and asked, "Big brother, what's the news lately?" "Only after completing this process can a journalist really enter the industry.

For journalists. Jin Shengyuan can only choose to avoid it, especially when reporters from all walks of life gather.

……

"What a nice residence!" Chris said with some surprise after seeing Jin Shengyuan's small manor-like villa. Although not familiar with Seoul. However, judging by the buildings, people, and billboards on both sides of the road, it is one of the busiest places in Seoul. He didn't know that Jin Shengyuan was so rich!

Speaking of the understanding between Jin Shengyuan and Chris, there are quite a few "twists and turns".

In October 2008, BOA debuted in the United States, and Kim Sung-won specially went to the United States to cheer for her. After that, Kim Sung-won did not return to South Korea immediately, but watched an NBA game.

On that day, there was a middle-aged woman with a small child next to Jin Shengyuan, and the child asked him, "Sir, can I ask you for help?" Then he let the child ride around his neck.

After the game, the child's mother invited him to dinner to thank him. He didn't refuse either.

During the dinner, Kim Sung-won learned the mother's name: Emma Thomas, Chris's wife and royal producer. Although she is a Jishu-type producer, Emma is very talkative and learns that Kim Sung-won can actually speak seven foreign languages. And after being proficient in the four foreign languages of Chinese, English, Korean, and Japanese, he suddenly began to cherish his talents and began to consciously test his knowledge in other aspects.

In this conversation, Emma found that Kim Sung-won's personality actually has many similarities with Chris: he is more old-fashioned and old-fashioned, and he doesn't like to show his feelings. But there is no lack of warmth and fun; Some are mavericks, like to think and study deep things, giving people a sense of wisdom.........

As the conversation deepened, Emma almost saw the shadow of Chris in Kim Sung-won - this metaphor is not too much, Chris was already a world-famous director at that time, and in Emma's eyes, Kim Sung-won was just a young man with great talent and potential. Maybe thirteen years from now he will be able to do something like Chris in some areas, but at least not yet.

Even Chris's son thinks that Kim Sung-won is really similar to his father in some ways, especially his old-fashioned and stubborn personality although he seems to be soft.

Surprised, Emma introduces Kim Sung-won to Chris.

Originally, Chris just met Jin Shengyuan with a perfunctory attitude, but he didn't expect that the two ...... Belch! To use an inappropriate analogy, it is simply "the thunder of the sky and the fire of the earth"! That night, Chris and Kim Sung-won chatted in the study all night, and Emma slept with the child in her arms.

It's too late to meet! In just one night, the two became confidants - much like the plot on TV! But the relationship between people is so wonderful, there is an allusion in Chinese history that "the white head is like new, and the cover is the same".

Especially for people with the personalities of Jin Shengyuan and Chris, once they meet someone who can talk about them, it is easier to become a confidant.

Although Kim Sung-won's major is linguistics, he is not without knowledge in other aspects. What's more, the way of thinking brought by high education and high IQ, and similar personalities, this is the foundation of mutual recognition between the two.

After that, Kim Sung-won deliberately stayed in the United States for a few days to have a long talk with Chris and became a confidant. Even when they return to South Korea, the two will keep in touch often.

"Inception" is a script that Chris has been conceiving for nearly ten years, and it is very mysterious and very challenging to the human mind! It seems to be challenging the limits of one's intelligence, imagination. This script was also something that Chris used to test Kim Sung-won at that time.

Of course, Chris did not and could not talk to Kim Sung-won completely about the script, and he only proposed a small part of the ideas and subtleties. And some of Jin Shengyuan's questions and opinions will always make him speak, but occasionally they can make him have new ideas.

For a while, Kim Sung-won spent more time talking to Chris than Taeyeon about "Inception," and Chris reworked the nearly finished script as a result.

……

"Chris, I probably won't be able to take you on a tour of South Korea." After bringing Chris to the living room, Kim Sung-won said to him with some regret.

"Well, I gave you a small surprise, but you gave me a big surprise!" Chris shrugged and grumbled slightly.

In the eyes of outsiders, Chris is very difficult to get along with, some actors are afraid to look him in the eye on the set, and even a top Hollywood producer said to the Warner executives who signed him: "This is a cold-blooded guy who makes cold-blooded movies!" ”

However, in fact, it is because he is too focused on expressing his inner feelings and neglects to reconcile the balance between darkness and light in the film. In life, he was a traditional English gentleman, and Kim Sung-won often saw him look excited when they talked.

After the greetings, Kim Sung-won prepared two breakfasts himself—he hadn't eaten breakfast himself—and the two talked while eating breakfast.

"Chris, you said Inception was going to shoot soon?" Kim Sung-won thought of what Chris had said earlier.

"Yes," Chris frowned slightly, slowed down the movement of his hand, and said, "But there may be some problems with funds." ”

"What's the problem?" Jin Shengyuan's heart moved slightly and asked.

"You should know that the studios' favorite is commercial blockbusters! They believe that only niche literary films and films with experimental themes can be allowed to test the audience's IQ! Speaking of this, Chris simply put down the knife and fork in his hand and told in detail, "However, because "Inception" is a story that takes place in a dream, it needs to be filmed in many places such as Japan, France, and the United Kingdom, and it needs to build special scenes. DiCaprio came to play ......"...,

Just hearing this, Kim Sung-won understood the crux of the problem, so he asked, "What is the estimated shooting cost?" ”

"$180 million!" Chris said.

"Oh! Warner should thank you for not liking CGjishu. Jin Shengyuan made a little joke. The CGjishu in "Haeundae" accounted for half of the total investment, which is the one thing he remembers most clearly.

"Warner always wanted me to strike while the iron was hot and continue to shoot the Batman franchise!" Chris shook his head and laughed, then continued, "But Inception is a dream I've been dreaming about for almost a decade! ”

"What about now?" Kim Sung-won understood, and Warner thought that Chris was going to use the company's money to fulfill his own dreams.

"They were thinking about it, and then Emma advised me to come out and relax, and not to be in too much of a hurry." After Chris finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders a little self-deprecatingly and said to Jin Shengyuan, "No, I'll come to you to relax." ”

Although Kim Sung-won has not read the script of "Inception", he has participated in many plot discussions, and to be honest, he understands the thoughts of Warner's top management very well, because this is completely a film that challenges the audience!

What's more, "Inception" is only the seventh film directed by Chris, and it is also his first test in the field of science fiction films! If it weren't for Chris's $185 million last year, he shot "The Dark Knight" for Warner, which was nominated for an Oscar and grossed more than $1 billion worldwide, it is estimated that Warner would never consider this obviously easy to lose money!

Speaking of this, the topic seemed a little dull, and neither of them spoke again, but quietly finished their breakfast.

After serving the fruit and tea, Jin Shengyuan coughed lightly and said, "Chris, what if I come to invest?" ”

"What?" Chris was holding a strawberry with a toothpick and sending it to his mouth with some novelty, when he heard Jin Shengyuan's words, his hand shook, and the strawberry almost fell.

"You heard me right, I mean, what if I come to invest?" Jin Shengyuan looked at Chris and said seriously. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
