Chapter 820: Bosom Friend on the Movie

The casting of "Wednesday" was decided, and Xu Jia still did not stop.

He came to the United States this time, not only for a TV series, but also to pave the way for the streaming platform, and he also wanted to pave a way for his own Jiaxing.

Such as "Aquaman" and "Megalodon" are not Jiaxing's works in the eyes of Hollywood, and in the eyes of many Hollywood filmmakers, Jiaxing is just a light of investment, and it is Warner's credit behind it.

And what Xu Jia has to do is to use a work wholly owned by Jiaxing to slap these people in the face.

So after finishing the preliminary preparations for the crew, he flew to London, where there was a person who was crucial to his new film project, and he got the other party, and this film project in his heart was the most suitable for making a big splash in Hollywood.

In an English restaurant, Xu Jia saw the person he wanted to meet, with blonde hair and a long beard, and he could vaguely see the shadow of the former spiritual guy.

"Xu, I've heard of you, the new entertainment giant in Huaxia, Kevin said that you will be the only one among overseas filmmakers who has the ability to attack Hollywood, I didn't expect you to find me here, if you let Warner know, I'm afraid our cooperation will not be able to go any further, right?"

Nolan looked at Xu Jia with interest, interested in this investor from Huaxia, whose resume is much more legendary than his own, and then joked: "I thought you would at least find a Chinese restaurant, to be honest, in an English restaurant, I don't know what to eat." ”

I have to say that Nolan's self-deprecation immediately dispelled the strange atmosphere between the two, this guy belongs to the younger one among the directors, born in the 70s, it is foreseeable that after Cameron and Spielberg retire, the other party will be the leader of Hollywood directors.

"No, if Warner's belly is so shallow, this kind of partner has nothing to stay, not to mention that in my opinion, your value is much greater than Warner's, as for the problem of restaurants, it is mainly due to the respect for you, an Englishman, if you are not too troublesome, we can go to eat French food." Xu Jia shrugged his shoulders and joked.

The two laughed at the same time, and immediately became familiar with each other, and they also understood each other's personalities more or less.

"As far as I know, you haven't had a work plan since Dunkirk, do you want us to work together? Trust me, I can give you far more rights and resources than you would in any other film and television company, and I can even help you make your film shoot smoother. Xu Jia said with a serious face.

He is no stranger to Nolan, and even the entire Chinese fans are more familiar with Nolan, whose works can be felt even if there is a cultural barrier, and for Warner, Nolan is also the top priority.

You must know that the success of the "Batman" series depends on the other party's directing ability, and DC Comics has also established the role of Batman, and then "Inception" and "Interstellar" have become gods in the field of science fiction.

"I don't have a work plan because I can't find a suitable subject to shoot, I don't shoot everything, and I think I need to take a break for a while, so I'm probably sorry......"

Nolan is just interested in Xu Jia, who is full of praise from Warner President Kevin, and he really didn't think about cooperating with an investor from Huaxia when making a movie, and he didn't think that the other party could help him in film shooting, just Xu Jia was talking about it.

Besides, he already had the idea of a new movie in his mind, and he was about to sort it out and talk to Warner about the new film project, so he naturally rejected Xu Jia.

"Have you seen Oppenheimer? How about filming his story, as the father of the atomic bomb in the United States, but he didn't want to use this invention in the war, and then he was condemned in his heart, so that he suffered an unfair hearing after World War II, do you think this experience is tortuous enough? ”

Xu Jia ignored Nolan's refusal, talked to himself, and then took out a book, which was "Oppenheimer's Biography" co-authored by Kay Bird and Martin Sherwin.

He knew that Nolan should be conceiving the next movie "Creed" at this time, but he didn't delay himself to induce the other party to join his project, after all, the "Oppenheimer Biography" in his previous life gave the other party a lot of feelings, thus giving birth to "Oppenheimer", and he believes that this life will still be no exception.

Nolan took the book from Xu Jia's hand by surprise, of course he knew Oppenheimer, but it was the first time he had read the relevant biography, so he opened the book and read it.

Xu Jia sat on the side and waited quietly, and the moment the other party opened the book, he knew that his plan was complete.

It wasn't until the band in the restaurant blew the trumpet that Nolan woke up.

He experienced the world's nuclear disarmament when he was a teenager and knew the threat of nuclear war, and now after reading the book, he realized that Oppenheimer's heart was so complicated, so similar to the male protagonists in his previous movies.

Should I say it or not, this book really moved him, and it also made him less resistant to Xu Jia's proposal.

"Didn't you say that you could help me with the filming and make the shooting smoother, in that case, why don't you give me some useful advice now?" Nolan gave his final test.

said that it was a test, but in fact, he was already inclined to cooperate with Xu Jia in his heart, so he said this just to prevent the other party from pointing fingers during the filming of the movie and dispelling the other party's arrogant confidence in advance.

Movies are not something that anyone can point, which is a great insult to a professional director like him.

"I think this kind of biography, we can't jump into the role of the screenwriter right away, write the script in the first person, try to live in the world of the characters with the first perspective, and experience the story with Oppenheimer, instead of judging and criticizing the character from a purely objective external perspective, we can divide the image into two parts: black and white and color. The former represents Oppenheimer in the eyes of others; And the latter reproduces the world as Oppenheimer himself saw it, do you know what I mean? ”

Xu Jia was not stage frightened, and began his own eloquent talk, what kind of jokes, when the movie was first released, he also came to the scene to see it, and even Nolan had heard the interview after the release, and he was very familiar with the latter's creative process, and his words could be said to be in the other party's heart.

Nolan was silent, he didn't expect that he could become a bosom friend in the movie with a Chinese investor.

What he said was all my words.
