'Hold the grass! ’

'What the hell is this?' ’

When the bright big light bulb appeared in front of Roland at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, Roland was startled by the shiny skull that seemed to be smeared with oil, if it wasn't for Steven Soderbergh to report himself, then he would even suspect that this was an employee of his own family who flew from America to the corrupt country, and wanted to report to him that he predicted the arrival of the Internet bubble, and if he didn't respond in time, he might lose 30 billion enough to buy TikTok in the first half of the year.

But when he sees the appearance of the person who came......

"Ah~ Aren't you a friend of George Clooney? Hello hello hello~"

Raise a smile and shake it, and the kind words are like a spring breeze.

But the problem is that he doesn't actually know George Clooney.

But it doesn't matter, because in the eyes of everyone, he is now amiable.

This is not only because of the beauty of distance, but also because of the psychological suggestion when asking for others!

When you hope that someone else can help you solve a problem, will you make up other people's brains into demons before the ending comes out?

Don't be kidding, even if you have never been in contact before, even if others have a bad reputation, as long as the other party treats people with a smile when they see you, then your eyes will automatically add a filter to him, making him a bodhisattva with a great aura.

Therefore, when Roland subconsciously said 'George Clooney', his bald face was filled with joy, and when Roland took the initiative to cross him to greet the target group, he was not annoyed, but happily stayed aside and acted as Bole.

"Susan Todd? I know you, I've watched Die Hard 2. ”

“Oh！ Thank you! That was the first film I made. ”

"Jonathan Nolan? Please forgive me for reading you before the official publication of the publishing house, your "Death Warning" is very well written, and I think you will become an excellent writer in the future! ”

"Really? This is really amazing! Thank you for your blessings! ”

"Emma Thomas? Your husband is amazing. ”

"Haha~ That's why I married him~"

After politely saying to the three guys, Roland also came to Nolan, who was smiling but restrained, looking at the future famous director who wanted to speak but couldn't speak, Roland took the initiative to reach out and shake him, "We are all meeting for the first time, and we are very strange to each other, so you can come as comfortable as you want, and you don't have to endure the discomfort to communicate with me." ”

Such words surprised the four people at the scene, but for Christopher Nolan, this was the most heartwarming move, because he didn't like to talk to strangers since he was a child.

Christopher Nolan has always had social problems, not social phobia, not language disorder, or simply unwilling to communicate with strangers, although as his fame gradually grew, his social resistance problem has improved a lot, but until the filming of "Interstellar", he still maintained the same habit.

Anne Hathaway once broke the news that in the scene where "Mercury" was filming "Mercury" looking for the data box, Christopher Nolan felt that they acted poorly, so he called to stop and asked the assistant director to give them a lecture, while he himself sat behind the monitor and sulked.

As a result, when the time came to start filming again, Anne Hathaway and they were still playing the same bird.

So, Christopher Nolan went on a rampage.

But unlike James Cameron, who can spray the actor with blood, Christopher Nolan's rampage is a rampage in the real sense, because he left the set in a rage!

Of course, the outbursts here only refer to what he thinks he is, and the real situation is ......

Christopher Nolan put his hat on the director's chair and left the set silently, unnoticed.

People just thought he was going to the toilet.

When Anne Hathaway and Matthew McConaughey finished filming, and the assistant director asked the set staff to prepare for the next scene, and went to the monitor to ask the director's opinion, people found out that the director, who wanted to show his anger by snubbing the crew, found out that he was left out after leaving, so he ran away alone and walked back again.

As for what you just shot?

He didn't know anything about it.

What's more, this is still the state he has been in after becoming a billion-dollar director.

And in the words of his wife, it is the film experience over the years that has made him a lot more cheerful.

It is precisely because of these things that even if Roland wants to meet Christopher Nolan, he actually doesn't expect to be friends with the other party, so he greeted everyone cordially and chatted briefly about the work......

All right......

In fact, there is nothing to talk about in the works......

Because Roland didn't like "Memory Fragments".

Of course, he doesn't like "Memory Fragments" for the same reasons as Harvey Weinstein.

Harvey Weinstein felt that 'Fragments of Memory' simply disrupts a flat and straightforward story with complex editing, and uses a mixture of narrative and flashback to forcibly complicate an ordinary story. This method of selling editing techniques is not really suspenseful, because Christopher Nolan does not do it when the movie is coming to an end, giving all the clues and making the audience feel creepy. Instead, he took advantage of the characteristics of the vast majority of people's poor memory, forcibly stuffed the audience with a bunch of broken information, and then laid out his own editing logic, thus forcing the audience to watch a film repeatedly, collecting clues with the help of tools, trying to piece together the whole story completely, and then obtaining the spiritual pleasure of understanding. But this kind of acquisition is actually doing intelligence questions, not watching movies. ’

But Roland thinks that "Fragments of Memory" can actually be made into a comedy.

Since the whole film is about the male protagonist who suffers from short-term amnesia and wants to catch his wife's murderer John G, then you can add some jokes in the process, don't be so serious and suspenseful, but take the way of "Drunken Night", use the male protagonist's amnesia, and play some jokes about the failure of the pursuit, which may be more profitable.

That's right, or talk about money.

It's so vulgar.

But isn't the fundamental purpose of his search for Christopher Nolan also for money!

So, without psychological pressure, he went straight to the point after a simple exchange.

"Susan."

"Huh?"

"Are you willing to transfer me the entire Memory Fragments project?"

"Yes, you make a price."

"An investment of 4.5 million will give you a return of 1.85 million, 5.85 million."

"Deal."

The meaning of the existence of film private equity funds is actually to make money.

Therefore, Roland will not break the bottom line of this industry and use the method of treating castle stones to pit these private equity funds to death.

As a project that only received investment in August '99, after six months, it won 1.35 million yuan with a principal of 4.5 million yuan, which is already quite a high rate of return.

There's no way, who let the six major public funds pay back the money of investors!

After simply and clearly reaching a business that should not have been done by himself, Roland also amiably probed Nolan's claws, and in front of everyone, he showed his joy for Nolan happily (falsely).

"After the contract is signed, I will ask the company to hold a special viewing party for "Memory Fragments".

"At that time, we will send invitations to directors such as David Fincher and David Lynch, and invite the masters of suspense to come and taste them live."

"The reason why I don't call Steven and James is because their fans and suspense don't coincide, and inviting them over can indeed stimulate the box office, but for Christopher, it's not good."

"For the audience, Christopher is still a newcomer, and since he is a newcomer, then we will walk a little more steadily."

"After all, I wish Christopher could make more films!"

Such an intimate arrangement made Nolan's family overjoyed!

"No problem, everything on the announcement is up to the company's arrangement, after all, we don't understand." Emma Thomas smiled and nodded.

And Jonathan Nolan smiled even more, "I am the original author, can I not focus on publicity?" ”

"This is my brother's movie, and I want the spotlight to be on him!"

"Yes." Roland smiled, "If you have any demands, tell the company directly." ”

"Just say, don't care if it's unreasonable."

"I'm not afraid to solve problems, I'm afraid I can't find problems."

Listen up!

Listen up!

Sure enough, it is the biggest relationship in the circle!

When other independent film distributors saw their work, they looked sad and said they didn't know how to distribute it.

And Roland......

I'm not afraid to solve the problem, I'm afraid I won't find the problem! ’

This sentence is too domineering!

At the same time as giving the promise of publicity, Roland also said that no matter what creativity he has in the future, he can directly find Warcraft Film and Television, even if the copyright of those projects is in someone else's house, it doesn't matter, as long as the project looks interesting, he can help take the lead and invest out of his pocket.

Such a promise made the Nolan family overjoyed and made Susan Todd envious.

After all, it's everyone who has dreams.

To say that independent films are noble and can fully expound the director's thoughts is just not understanding this business.

Because the real bigwigs, no matter what they make, they are all independent films.

Who cares?

Personally injected Nolan with a financial defense shot, and did not have to worry that this good guy with backing would be Steven Soderberger to Warner, and the purpose of Roland's stay in London was actually halfway there.

And when he said a few polite words to everyone and wanted to take the initiative to say goodbye, he finally opened his mouth when he saw his bald head.

"Roland?"

"Huh? Anything else? ”

"I'd like to talk to you, okay?"

"Yes! Since you can sit together, it means that you are friends, and you can talk about anything. ”

Roland's atmosphere was tight, or rather, he had already seen the problem when he arrived.

Although in the information submitted by Evelyn Watson to Christopher Nolan, the other party clearly marked the existence of Steven Soderbergh in the project "Memory Fragments", but this does not mean that the bald head will accompany the sale of films!

It is true that the bald head has the grace to support Nolan, but he is not the producer of "Memory Fragments", the producer of "Memory Fragments", and the third is not an investor in "Memory Fragments".

If he doesn't exist, it's normal, and once he exists, it's an accident.

So, when Roland recognized the shiny bald head, he guessed that this guy probably wanted to take this opportunity to talk to him.

Now—

Let's talk about it!

Be generous in front of Nolan!

After getting Roland's affirmative reply, the thoughtful bald head did not hide it, and directly took out two books and said: "I came today, first, I hope that Christopher's movie can be released smoothly, second, I want to seek a project for my good brother, and third, I hope to find a path for myself, the first goal has been achieved, and the second and third goals are here......"

"In the hands of Katherine Kennedy, there is a special agent type project, at first she gave the book to Brad Pitt, hoping that he could play the male lead, Brad after reading the book, he thought it was good and wanted to participate, but after learning that the whole project was postponed indefinitely because of Steven Spielberg and your existence, he refused. And after he refused, Catherine, who was busy with "Artificial Intelligence" and "Harry Potter", pressed the whole project down, and had no intention of continuing production for the time being. ”

"In Catherine's words, it's too busy......"

"It's a very common thing, and we didn't take it seriously at first, but one time Brad was at a party with us and he suddenly mentioned the project, and we got a lot of interest in it."

"Matt Damon, in particular, wants to take on the project."

As he spoke, he pushed a blue-covered book in front of Roland, which read: "The Bourne Identity".

"Spy Shadow" has been established in 99, and it was indeed Brad Pitt who was looking for it at the beginning, but because Catherine Kennedy was too busy and told the other party that the film might not start filming until about 01 year, Brad Pitt, who couldn't wait, took over "Spy Game" - yes, it was the movie that was banned in China.

And after that, the project continued to circulate among Brad Pitt's brothers, first by George Clooney, then by Ben Affleck, then by Casey Affleck, and finally into the hands of Matt Damon.

At that time, George Clooney wanted to act, but he already had "Ocean's Eleven" on his back;

Ben Affleck wanted to act, but he already had "Pearl Harbor" on him;

Cassie Affleck also wants to act, but he's still a newcomer;

So, Matt Damon got on.

Not only that, knowing that Catherine Kennedy was too busy to shoot the project for the time being, this guy also found Robin Williams and through Steven Spielberg, gnawed the entire project.

After that, Jason Bourne, who is as famous as James Bond and Ethan Hunter, was born.

Of course, this was all the case in Roland's previous life.

And in this life, when Roland also lost "Harry Potter" to Catherine Kennedy, the second producer in film history, really had no intention of continuing to open the pit, so after learning that Roland was going to buy the copyright of "Memory Fragments", Steven Soderbergh, who was Christopher Nolan Bole, left.

He wanted to give his brother a chance.

But for Roland, it's really ......

It's so hard!

He's almost forgotten about this project!

As a result, it still appears in front of me after going around and around!

"Okay, I'll ask you about this and see what Catherine thinks."

Speaking of which, Steven Soderbergh nodded excitedly.

But Roland's next sentence made him want to jump up and hug each other!

"For the sake of our tastes, we all think Christopher's movie is good...... If Catherine doesn't have time, then I'll let his husband take care of it, I've seen Matt's performance, and Robin also suggested that I vote for "Soul Catcher", but because of Harvey's existence, I refused, so, don't be pressured, if they don't have enough funds, Steven and I can vote. ”

"Thank you so much!" Steven Soderbergh said excitedly.

"Don't be like this, don't be like this, they're all friends......"

Roland waved his hand, motioning for him to calm down, "What about the third thing you said?" ”

"Ahh The third thing is "Solaris", I wanted to remake the film, but the rights are in the hands of James Cameron. ”

'Oh......'

Upon seeing the cover of the book, Roland understood that the project Steven Soderbergh was referring to was "Into Space 2002".

The original film "Solaris" was brought to the screen by Soviet director Andrei Tarkovsky in '72, and after that, James Cameron, who wanted to explore space, bought the rights.

But it's a pity that in the eighties, the special effects did not allow, and in the nineties, a "Titanic" made him lose interest in "Solaris", because he really couldn't think of how to shoot "Solaris" in order to make it surpass "Titanic".

So, when Steven Soderbergh approached the old man, he generously surrendered the project.

Immediately afterwards, he died of "Avatar" without worry.

And Steven Soderbergh's "Fly to Space 2002" is actually very crotch-pulling.

In one sentence, science fiction films are not like science fiction films, supernatural films are not like supernatural films, and romance films are not like romance films.

The point is that not only word of mouth is not good, but even the box office is not good!

But it doesn't matter......

Tens of millions of projects, and it's not him Roland who loses!

So—

"I know that project, if you want to shoot, then I'll talk to James, and then you can find him yourself."

"James's light storm is under the name of Fox, and they have been losing money recently, so I personally suggest that you can talk to James first, and then go to Fox to ...... when Fox's operation improves."

Such words made Steven Soderbergh happy, and also surprised the Nolan family on the side!

As long as you are interested in people, then dare to invest in any project?

Hold the grass!

Roland Allen turned out to be a good man!

Christopher Nolan, who has been silent since he stepped into the hotel, raised his eyebrows and looked at Roland with a look full of longing! If you have to compare it, it's like a hairy child seeing his beloved toy!

Want to get!
