TMZ Headquarters, Los Angeles.

After work in the afternoon, Jody packed up her things, left the company with her computer bag on her back, and when she came to the parking lot, someone waved at her.

A news source from Warner Bros.

Wearing a baseball cap and a paper bag under his arm, the man walked quickly to Jody's car and asked in a low voice, "Big news, do you accept it?" ”

Jody asked, "What news?" ”

The man said quickly: "The crew of the new film "Inception" directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Martin Davis, when filming in Morocco, the physics professor specially hired by the crew was kidnapped, and the kidnappers were arrested before they left the hotel. ”

Jody's first reaction: "Martin got rid of another batch of gangsters? She frowned slightly: "This kind of thing happened to Martin, it can't be regarded as top big news, and the price may not be particularly high." ”

"Uh......" The man was slightly stunned, and quickly said: "It has little to do with Martin, Director Nolan used the knowledge and experience he learned while shooting genre films, noticed a change, and commanded the crew's security personnel to set up an ambush, and easily solved this big case." ”

It's not that Martin's news is not attractive, but the same kind of news happens to Martin, and the attraction is definitely not as great as before, Jody heard that the protagonist was Nolan this time, and his interest rose: "Is there a video?" I need to take a look at the snippet. ”

The man followed Jody into the car, took out a USB drive from a paper bag, and handed it over: "Take a look." ”

Jody took out the computer, turned it on and plugged it into the USB flash drive, the video was very short, but for dozens of seconds, he could hear bursts of loud cheers.

In the elevator room, four people and women were stopped by more than a dozen gun-wielding men, some controlled the woman, and someone opened a trolley box, revealing the old man inside.

Then, Nolan entered the camera and calmly arranged the relevant matters.

Jody subconsciously doubted: "Not making a movie?" ”

The man laughed: "You can look at the press release issued by the Moroccan Security Service. ”

Jody pulled out her phone and made a call.

The colleague quickly checked the relevant news and replied: "The Moroccan Security Service just held a press conference at Astra Studios, and issued a series of statements on the incident of Professor Mordeche, a special physics consultant for the crew of "Inception", saying that it would thoroughly investigate the matter and severely punish the perpetrators! ”

Jody hung up the phone and said, "I want the video." ”

The two sides negotiated the price, and the man got the check and left quickly.

Jody returned to the office with the storage tray in the paper bag and called the department staff next to each other to inform them to come back and work overtime.

Before the poor social animals could get home, they were forced to turn around.

That night, TMZ's homepage once again broke out entertainment news, and released a video of the whole process of Nolan cracking the kidnapping case and arresting the perpetrator on the homepage.

In case anyone suspects, Jody also quoted a press release from the Moroccan security services on the news page where the video is located.

As expected, public opinion in North America exploded, and the popularity of "Inception" skyrocketed, and it climbed to the first place on Google's hot search list the next morning.

Nolan's fans have always been crazy, slaughtering the page directly under the Internet-related news.

"It's worthy of being a director who can make a crime movie like The Dark Knight, and it's easy to get a few kidnappers."

"If Nolan's command is determined, the prisoners will be captured."

"I think Nolan can adapt another crime-themed movie based on this."

"Inception" has attracted a lot of attention, and Warner Bros. also took the opportunity to announce the film's North American premiere.

On the British side, the Sun also received a similar video, and after the news appeared in the newspaper, the reaction of the British people was even stronger.

Some newspapers also targeted Martin, who had just been awarded the Order of Liberty.

"When the so-called American national hero Martin Davis is unaware, Nolan has easily resolved a major crisis in the crew, and it is clear who the hero is."

…………

Astra Studios, Morocco.

Before the crew started work in the morning, Nolan specifically approached Martin and said: "I didn't expect this from the British media, I can explain it to them." ”

Martin waved his hand: "No, Mene and I just provided a clue, Chris, it is you who really makes the decision, if it is me, I will only rush up with a gun, I don't have the ability to command and dispatch so many people, and I saved the professor back with an understatement." ”

He added a few more sentences: "No matter what, the culprit was caught, the professor was rescued, and the news made many people pay attention to this film, and we are all beneficiaries." ”

Nolan thought of the news feedback from North America and the United Kingdom, and said: "Martin, there is always an unexpected gain from working with you. ”

This time, his desire to make things happen was satisfied, and the most important thing was that the harvest far exceeded expectations.

Painstakingly fabricating thirty real tidbits is not as good as the explosion of this incident.

Martin went to the makeup trailer to prepare for today's shoot.

Nolan stood at the door of the studio with his hands on his waist, his seemingly serious face full of imperceptible smiles.

Emma Thomas came over with a middle-aged man.

Nolan is acquainted, deputy head of the Security Service Alabat.

The latter walked a few quick steps and stepped forward to shake hands with Nolan: "When the crew encounters such a problem, it is our negligence. ”

"The criminals are so cunning that they actually took advantage of the opportunity of crew recruitment to get in." Nolan didn't want to get too stiff with the Moroccan officials, so he just said: "Mr. Deputy Director, I have only one request, these criminals must be severely punished!" ”

"We'll definitely give the crew an account, and when the results come out, I'll call Director Nolan and Ms. Thomas personally," Alabath said. ”

Nolan got the sensation he wanted and didn't ask for more: "Thank you for your support. ”

"Morocco has always provided the best service to Hollywood crews," says Alabat with a smile. ”

Nolan said a few more polite words, the working time was almost up, and he left the studio to prepare for this morning's shooting.

Alabat was relieved and drove back to Ouarzazate, and as soon as he arrived at the makeshift office, his assistant came to tell him that someone had come to visit.

It was Hamill, a colleague from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who came in and said, "You just arrested four women?" “

"It wasn't us who caught it, it was the American crew who caught it." Alabat had a guess about what happened and pretended to be confused: "They wanted to kidnap the crew, and they were caught by the great director Christopher Nolan and the crew bodyguards. ”

"It's very complicated, give them some punishment, like financial, and then deport," Hamill said. ”

Albat thought differently, saying: "Just over half an hour ago, I just met with Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas, and they made a request that the perpetrators must be punished severely. ”

"How much money did Morocco spend to become the Hollywood of Africa, and if we don't give the killers the punishment they deserve, the reputation we have built up over the years could be ruined," he stressed. ”

"It's complicated," Hamill said......

Alabat raised his hand to interrupt him: "It's useless for you to talk to me, the big Hollywood directors are staring at me, and making trouble is a negative international impact." ”

Hamill understood: "I'll figure it out." ”

Alabath pushed things out and felt relieved.

This, who stepped on the horse wanted to take it to himself.

Inside the studio at Astra Studios.

Martin sat in a chair and fell asleep, and Mene came over and shook him vigorously, but he could not wake anyone.

The wooden walls were shaking, and outside the open glass windows, a dozen extras made the sound of people running wildly.

Mene grabbed Martin's chair and pushed it back, causing him to fall backwards and fall into the wide tub.

When the water overflowed his face, Martin grabbed the edge of the bathtub with both hands, and the person sat up with a force, wiped a handful of water on his face, and the person seemed to be suddenly surprised from his sleep, and said: "Why is it early!" “

"The situation has changed," Mene said. ”

"Stop, this one is over!" Nolan was very satisfied with the shooting results: "Prepare for the next one." ”

Ken Watanabe and another actor of Arab descent entered the set.

The camera turns to that side through the rails.

Emma Thomas came over and said, "Chris, there's your phone. ”

Nolan said directly: "I'll talk about it after filming." He didn't look at his wife and asked aloud, "Are you ready?" ”

Martin cocked his thumb, and the other actors responded.

With the sound of the board, the shooting began again.

Martin wore wet clothes, filmed scene after scene, and only left the set an hour later to take a shower and change clothes.

The crew is temporarily rested.

Nolan took the phone from Emma Thomas and asked, "What's the matter, so urgent?" ”

Emma said, "London Guildhall, that phone call from your Jewish classmate. ”

Nolan found a quiet place, called back, and it was quickly connected.

After chatting for a few words, things were a little troublesome, and they said that they had seen the relevant incidents, and euphemistically asked Nolan not to pursue this matter too much.

Before he could leave work, a Warner Bros. executive called again.

Although the words are different, the meanings expressed are similar.

Nolan soon found himself poking a hornet's nest, calling one after another at night, classmates and friends in the UK, collaborators in the circle, executives and investors in Warner Bros......

Even Martin's lover, Louise Mayer, one of the film's investors, called him.

Nolan, who is not Jewish, could not withstand such bombardment, and in just a few days, he discovered that the media were hyping up the kidnapping case, but it never spread to other aspects.

It seems that Professor Mordecei's case is just a simple kidnapping case.

Nolan was well aware of the size of the Jewish power and did not put any more pressure on the Moroccan side, and when Alabat called him again, he only said that it would be dealt with according to Moroccan procedures.

The media in North America and the United Kingdom are hyping up the bravery of Nolan and the crew, downplaying the four women.

Although Nolan never said anything, Martin could see that the great director was quite annoyed by the constant pressure from Jewish forces.

Mene whispered to Martin: "I heard Emma say last night that the director was very angry and cursed the vampires in the room several times. ”

"It's none of our business," Martin said. ”

Mene whispered, "Boss, it's better for you to have a good eye. ”

Martin had a very clear feeling after silent observation that he might have changed Nolan in some way, such as the deterioration of relations with Jewish forces.

I just don't know if this one day will get out of control and incarnate as the new Mel Gibson.
