After the decision was made to let Christopher Nolan take over "Terminator 3", the project became much simpler, because at the same time as he was introduced, Jonathan Nolan, who is closely related to him and talented, will also enter the market.

Jonathan Nolan, the younger brother of Christopher Nolan, is the screenwriter of "Memory Fragments", "Deadly Magic", "Unknown Death", "The Dark Knight", "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Interstellar", not only that, but he also created the "Suspect Tracking" series on CBS and the "Westworld" series on HBO, and he is only forty years old after all of this.

Just like Kevin Feige.

Some people may be geniuses.

Of course, results are not the best label attached to him, because while he has results, he is also the only guy in the whole circle who can control Christopher Nolan.

Let the work serve the public while having a brain, this is his first consideration when writing the script, if his brother goes off the center during shooting, then he will unceremoniously let those wild ideas die on the set.

Unbelief?

Neither the box office nor word of mouth can deceive.

While working with his younger brother Jonathan Nolan, Christopher Nolan made "Memory Fragments," "Deadly Magic," "The Dark Knight," "The Dark Knight Rises," and "Interstellar."

And after leaving his brother, Christopher Nolan, who let himself go, produced "Dunkirk" and "Creed".

If before, some people thought that Christopher Nolan's biggest weakness was action scenes, and the action scenes of the "Batman" series and "Inception" were simply crotch-pulling, then now, all the capital has seen his weakness......

Actually, it's his younger brother.

And after Jonathan Nolan was willing to supplement the script of "Terminator 3" according to Roland Allen's brain hole and acted as the executive producer of the film, the budget of 200 million made "Terminator 3" the largest project that Warcraft Film and Television has handled since its inception.

Although the entire process of creating, discussing, and forming the project has never been disclosed, except for Roland, Kate and the future governor, even Evelyn Watson, the president of Warcraft Films, does not know what the specific content of the film is, but after the filing was made public, Hollywood giants are still like bedbugs that smell a bad smell, and they are pouring in.

Disney, which has signed a live-action film outsourcing agreement with Warcraft Film and Television, hopes that "Terminator 3" can become one of their cooperation projects, even if the "Pirates of the Caribbean" that the two sides are preparing has used up next year's share, Disney doesn't care, because the film and television project in 03 years is still a blank;

Warner, who hasn't seen the establishment of the DC project for a long time, sent people to knock on the side, wanting to know if Christopher Nolan is the director that Roland Allen specially cultivated for DC superhero movies, if so, then they will be full of expectations for the 200 million giant production of "Terminator 3", and are willing to contribute half of it to co-production;

And was acquired by Napoleon Water, that is, Vivendi? Life is worse than death, and the world wants to participate in investment? attempting to turn over;

As for Paramount and Fox, who have worked well with Roland Allen......

After carefully inquiring about the project formation plan, the former expressed his willingness to undertake the distribution of the film;

And the latter is in the know? This is a 200 million project launched by Roland Allen himself? They have tasted the sweetness on "Titanic", and they have shown that they are willing to make a joint venture with Warcraft Film and Television? to alleviate the financial pressure on this leather bag company.

When Evelyn Watson, the president of Warcraft Films, found out that she simply couldn't handle these unintended invitations? Passing it over to the boss? became her first choice, and when Roland Allen learned that the projects she was doing casually could gain so many follow-ups, those giants in the eyes of the public? Immediately became a fat sheep in his eyes!

Because in a situation where the future of a project is uncertain? Pulling others to work together can share a lot of risks.

Just like the Fox in the previous life, he pulled Paramount to invest in "Titanic" together.

Although this move eventually made Fox a laughing stock all over the world, but while Fox was ridiculed, didn't Fox still make a lot of money with the exaggerated overseas box office of "Titanic"?

It's a matter of luck and success!

And what if "Titanic" hit the streets like "Future Water World"?

Fox, who has Paramount to share the risk, will not lose to his pants like Universal!

So? This kind of afterthought, like 'I would have bought a house if I had known' is meaningless.

In the case of another instance of failure, amortize the risk? That's what capital should do!

Not to mention, the box office curve of "Titanic" also proves that it is not a commercial film that makes money through orthodox means.

So—

In a past life, memories can't tell Roland? When this adaptation can be successful, pulling people into the gang has become his first choice.

Can now? He decided to wait.

Because Roland knows? Those fat sheep in Hollywood? Also waiting.

No way, who made "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" about to be released soon!

…………

Yes, when the eyes of the whole world are attracted by the 9/11 incident, and everyone is paying attention to the war on terror launched by the small bushes, Thanksgiving and Christmas are actually quietly coming!

Although because of the war, various film companies are actually not optimistic about the last two schedules of this year, after all, on September 28, Fox's "Without a Word" ended dismally with a box office of more than 50 million, and "Zuland", which was launched by Paramount on the same day, has not even received 50 million at the box office, and "Training Day", which was released on October 5 and starring Denzel Washington, also failed to stand out from the public opinion of the war, and Kevin Spacey's "K Star Stranger" even failed to reach the box office of the whole line. Black Hawk Down", a movie that adapts to the times, has slashed 250 million at the box office in the past two months and has become the biggest winner in the shadow of the war, but people, you have to think about it a little, right?

Just like twenty years later, in the face of the crazy impact of the epidemic, Time Warner is going to take the lead in bringing "Creed" and "Wonder Woman 1984" to the market on time!

Since they think that man will conquer heaven, what ......

As the audience, what choice does the public have other than applauding?

Not to mention, before this grim moment, the guys who take the lead are not those second- and third-tier directors who are eager to be famous, let alone those second- and third-tier actors who want to be famous, but Steven Spielberg, who has rarely missed in more than 30 years.

Especially after Steven Spielberg directed the project that Roland Allen had picked......

The so-called superstition naturally appeared......

After all, so far, Roland has only been wrong once on Memory Fragments, a project he didn't personally handle.

And after successively betting on specific films such as "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Black Hawk Down", which rely on public opinion to turn over, the word failure was forcibly erased from Roland's dictionary by his peers.

Because no one would believe that a guy who can win outrageous victories in a row will look away at the project he pulled with his own hands.

But what about the facts?

Well, in fact, Roland himself is not clear.

Because after getting married last year, he was kidnapped by the old man from Kauai to London, chatted about everything related to DreamWorks, and by the way, after shooting a few "Harry Potter" movie scenes, Roland didn't care about the project at all.

The reason is also very simple, I believe in the level of the old man!

And it is precisely because Roland has never taken care of all this, so when the world premiere of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" arrives on November 16, Roland, who does not know what the old man has made the movie look like, is a little anxious.

After thinking about it again, he grabbed his daughter-in-law, dressed up in disguise, and went to the movie theater near his home.

Although the temperature in London in the middle of the night in November is only about five degrees Celsius, the cold and humidity can't stop the fanaticism of fans at all.

But when he looked around and found that all the people who came were in his teens and twenties, and there was no audience for "Harry Potter" at all, let alone the money bag of the audience, Roland, who took his wife's hand and inserted it into his pocket, his face was suddenly full of regret, "Hey, Steven is really old, and his influence is not as strong as before." ”

Such emotion made Kate roll her eyes, and replied angrily: "Today is Thursday!" Tomorrow is Friday! With teenage kids going to school and adults in their thirties and forties going to work, how many guys come to the cinema in the middle of the night to watch a midnight show? Unless the brain is broken! Because that's what they're going to sleep for! ”

Having said that, Roland was still not satisfied, "But if they don't come, the box office of the midnight show will not look good!"

If the box office of the midnight show is not good, then the box office on the first day will not be good!

If the box office on the first day is not good, then the box office on the first weekend may not meet expectations!

And once the box office in the first weekend does not meet expectations, won't theaters in various countries cut back on their film schedules?

And once the theaters of various countries cut the schedule of "Harry Potter", then our movie will hit the streets! ”

The babbling words made Kate pout.

Although she felt that her husband was naïve, she still took the opportunity to ask: "Then according to your statement, if "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" fails, then it must be the problem of those fans?" ”

"Of course!"

Roland nodded justifiably, "Love costs money!" You can't even afford to spend money, so why do you say love? ”

"Poof!" Kate, who thought it was funny, burst out laughing on the spot.

But she didn't refute it, because she understood that in the eyes of capital, the so-called loss does not mean that a project is really losing, but that a project does not earn the expected returns.

In this case......

Wishing everyone could watch the movie in one day is what Roland wants to see.

Oh no, if he could, Roland would have hoped that fans would be able to buy a billion at the box office in one day.

Surrounded by bodyguards disguised as ordinary fans, they chatted with each other, and when the clock rang at midnight, the logos of all parties finally appeared on the screen where the advertisements were still played.

First, Time Warner, the global distributor with half of the investment, and then the orc silhouette of Warcraft Films, the copyright owner.

As for the old man's amperin entertainment?

This company, which was used by the old man to make money, has no logo all year round.

Low-key! Low profile!

At night, Dumbledore appears on the streets of Privet Road, meets with Professor McGonagall, the cat lady, and in an ambiguous conversation, Hagrid on a flying motorcycle descends from the sky and hands over the baby in his arms to the two, and in their dispute, the toddler with the lightning bolt on his head has his own destiny - he will grow up in a Muggle family until he can accept his own origins.

To be honest, even though Roland can't remember the plot of the "Harry Potter" movie in his previous life, after seeing the opening scene of the old man's shooting, the absurdity across time and space still made him shake his head, because ......

I don't understand!

Say seriously! Roland in his previous life was very strange, there are many people who can fall in love with this IP without reading the original Harry Potter books, this kind of behavior, it is simply incomprehensible to him!

As soon as the movie opens, all three characters are playing dumb riddles.

Dumbledore didn't explain why Harry Potter became famous, Hagrid didn't explain why staying away from wizarding was a good thing for Harry Potter, and if these are the plot content, digging a hole first and then explaining it is not much of a problem, then what about the word Muggle in Professor McGonagall's mouth?

As. Rowling's first term refers to the die-hard people in the world who don't believe in magic, and this kind of vocabulary is not the key that everyone can understand! And shoot it without explaining the word?

Seriously, this kind of behavior of creating a threshold for ordinary movie fans is really very pitiful.

But even so, the whole movie was a success!

That's ......

It's kind of weird, right?

But when the title of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" flashed, ten-year-old Daniel Radcliffe woke up from the storage room under the stairs of his aunt's house, and the sudden exclamation made Roland understand what it was that drove those who had never seen the original book to like this movie and be willing to take the time to understand the story behind it-

"Wow~ Harry is so cute!"

"He's so cute in ill-fitting clothes!"

"It's so good to be wronged but don't dare to resist!"

"I want to touch his head and kiss his face!"

Yes......

Daniel Radcliffe, or Harry Potter, actually eats on his face.
