In the morning, Lu Ping'an received a call from Hu Qingquan.

Knowing the situation, he couldn't help but shake his head.

went back and forth, and finally returned to square one.

Warner gave him the feeling that a company has several heads, each with a different opinion.

It's no wonder that this kind of company will be scolded as a dog by so many DC fans in the future.

"The question now is whether to accept it, if you don't accept it, there will be a lot of trouble in the future, and if you accept it, Nolan will not be able to be a director."

Hu Qingquan, who was on the other side of the phone, continued.

This is indeed a problem.

Acceptance is definitely to be accepted.

After all, no one likes trouble, and this additional agreement has an impact on the crew, but not much.

In Hu Qingquan's opinion, the only thing that is more troublesome is the director's problem.

It's really not easy to find the right director.

But this matter is actually just a small trouble for Lu Ping'an.

Nolan can't guide, at most it will add a lot of workload to Lu Ping'an.

The rest didn't have much of an impact.

However, Lu Ping'an still asked: "What if Nolan leaves Warner?" ”

"It's not worth it, I asked him when I talked to him before, and they also have liquidated damages, 3 million US dollars."

$3,000,000.

It's really not worth digging up the current Nolan.

But if Nolan could hand over the script "Inception," which he was currently writing, it would be a good deal.

Lu Ping'an and Nolan had talked before, and he said that he was already writing "Inception", but he hadn't finished it yet.

It also took him nearly ten years to write the original time and space.

If he didn't talk about this, Lu Ping'an would not have any psychological burden.

But now that I've said it, it's naturally not appropriate to do it again.

But even so, $3 million can't just be spent.

Poaching people, even with the script of "Inception", what about "The Batman Trilogy"?

Or shoot him?

In the past, it didn't matter if the road was safe.

Anyway, he wasn't too interested in the trilogy, just thinking about making a profit and the second part with the highest rating.

But now people at Warner clearly think you can't do it.

Even if you fight for breath, you have to come by yourself!

So "Trilogy" must be filmed by itself!

You've forced me to "become a god", can I still go?

So if Nolan is willing to be an assistant director, and he can also give the script of "Inception" that is being written.

He spent the 3 million!

3 million to buy "Inception", is it worth it?

On the premise that you can't get it, of course it's worth it, and it's blood earning!

In addition, if Nolan can come as an assistant director, the shooting of the trilogy can be much more stable.

If you don't want to, then it's over.

So Lu Ping'an first said to Hu Qingquan: "Accept it, but we also have to have additional instructions, and they can't interfere in the production later." ”

"I know, hey, to be honest, I would never have thought that this kind of big Hollywood company would be so screwed up before, but now that I have actually participated, I know that this kind of capitalist company is the same as some state-owned enterprises in China."

"Haha, I can't take that."

"Then don't talk about it, you have time to come over as soon as possible, the one named Xiao Wen has already done his job, just wait for you to come over."

"Okay, I'll book the ticket now, and Nolan will tell me in time if there is a situation."

"Hmm."

Hung up the phone and went out to the company safely.

"Batman" will be filmed by itself, which will take up a lot of time.

So domestic things, such as the later stage of "Wonderful Night", have to find a time to step up.

He decided to go to Lao Mei and come back to solve the problem after dealing with the matter.

Today's snow is still falling, it is still very big, Yan Danchen's family has come to the capital, and Zhang Tong is still there on the pear side.

I haven't had to play for the past few days, and it just happened to let Lu Ping'an go to Laomei with peace of mind.

In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Ping'an returned to Summit Entertainment.

The first thing to deal with is "Latent".

The editing of the last part of "Latent" was done by Wen Ziren.

Lu Ping'an looked at it, it's not bad, eight or nine is not far from ten, but Wen Ziren is still a rookie after all, and he didn't edit the original version of "Latent", so there are still some differences.

"It's good, but it needs to be changed, you see, it can be like this here"

In half a day, the editing of the film was completely completed.

Wen Ziren once again saw the power of the Asian rattlesnake.

Then there's the sound effects and special effects of Latent.

The special effects have also been completed, not made by "X", but by the local special effects company of the United States.

It's not expensive, less than 100,000 US dollars, and the effect is okay.

The sound effects have already been done, so the finished film will come out in the afternoon.

Of course, it will take about a week to refine, but it doesn't affect the viewing anymore.

Then the company watched the film, not to mention the effect.

Everyone praised it, and then the time was set, and it was still March.

"Latent" is done, and then "Dead Silence" is next.

Wen Ziren was already poised to go.

Lu Ping'an didn't get stuck with him, three days later it was an auspicious day, and he started work directly.

After arranging the necessary matters, Hu Qingquan also finalized the final matters.

And then there was no accident, Nolan was very injured.

But on the surface, it seems that the most injured is Lu Ping'an.

Because Lu Ping'an called Nolan directly and complained: "Christopher, I'm curious, are you all so domineering in Hollywood?" ”

The anger in Lu Ping'an's tone that he was trying to suppress seemed to be about to explode at any time.

Nolan naturally knew why Lu Ping'an was so angry.

A simple IP lease has gone through so many things before and after.

Threats first, agreements later.

No one will be happy.

It's just that he should be the one who hurts the most.

Warners made it clear to him.

Say you don't shoot, this is the company's rule!

After the cruel words were played, he said, this IP let them shoot, and after the shooting failed, the IP returned to the company, let you come!

I believe you're a ghost!

Let's not talk about whether Warner will give it then.

Just say that now, as a director, can he wonder if there is any hope for this project?

To put it bluntly, I am too weak, and others can't listen to my words!

So it's him who wants to vent the most.

However, he still maintained a certain demeanor, and he replied to Lu Ping'an:

"Lu, I'm not Hollywood, I'm British."

"I don't care what nationality you are, anyway, I don't have a good impression of you Westerners right now."

Lu Ping'an continued to vent.

But after that, he calmed down after taking a few deep breaths.

"I'm sorry Christopher, I was a little out of shape just now, let's get down to business, I'll take over the film, and I'll have to make Warners pay for their arrogance."

"I know Lu, you're going to make it."

"Do you still want to shoot Batman?"

"Ahh

"I mean, a company like Warner is really boring, you leave Warner and join us, let's work on the trilogy together, you will be the assistant director of the trilogy first, and I will support you in whatever you want to shoot in the future, how about it?"

"But my liquidated damages are not low."

"How much?"

"$4.5 million."

"So much?!"

Lu Ping'an was really surprised.

"yes, I've been with Warner for less than a year, and quitting now triggers the rider."

Nolan didn't report much hope.

He didn't think Lu Ping'an would really spend this money.

It's unlikely that anyone else will be replaced.

Now he is not enough for this price.

Unless there are big fools.

As a result, Lu Ping'an said at this time: "Then you have to add money." ”

"What?"

"Is the script you said about dreaming ready?"

"Not yet, the first act is almost there, and the last two acts are still being conceived."

"Give me this idea, I'll give it 4.5 million."

“？？？”

Nolan couldn't help but wonder if Lu Ping'an was really a big fool at the moment
