Lu Ping'an finally spent money to dig up Nolan.

Warners has no problem with that.

It's just Nolan, and if you go, you'll be gone, and you can make $4.5 million for nothing, so it's not too cost-effective.

If Nolan continues to be the director of the trilogy, they will be more relieved.

After all, Nolan might as well be safe.

So the poaching negotiation was completed in only 15 minutes, which was as fast as possible.

Nolan was even more chilled by Warner's attitude.

"I thought Warner was the best studio in the world, and now I think I'm a bit stupid."

After returning to the crew, Nolan shook his head and laughed at himself.

After speaking, he expressed his sincere gratitude to Lu Ping'an.

He didn't think his script idea was worth that much money, after all, it was just an idea that hadn't yet taken shape.

Strictly speaking, how to implement this idea into a complete and high-quality script, he doesn't actually have any ideas now.

So at this moment, he naturally thinks that Lu Ping'an's script is just an excuse.

The actual purpose is to cherish talents.

"Lu, I don't know how to thank you."

"It's too troublesome to thank you, just get things done."

Lu Ping'an waved his hand in a chic manner, not wanting to continue on this topic.

Nolan wasn't a twister either, signed a contract with the summit, chatted a few more words, and then turned around and plunged into work.

After Nolan left, Watts was a little puzzled: "Is he really worth the price?" ”

Lu Ping'an replied casually: "There are not many people who can keep up with my train of thought, Wen Ziren is one, and he is the second." ”

Watts didn't ask any more questions, believing that the road was safe.

The same is true for Hu Qingquan.

But he was more interested in the giveaway, which was Nolan's idea.

Hu Qingquan still knows Lu Ping'an better than others.

So he has already discovered that Lu Ping'an's real purpose may be this script.

But he didn't ask much, and he would naturally know when the script was really finished by Lu Ping'an.

Things were done, and Lu Ping'an spent two days meeting the two protagonists in the film.

One is Christian Bale, this guy is still building muscle, and he is still two months away from his goal, just right.

The other is Morgan Freeman, who was also the first actor to agree to participate.

The two of them didn't react very much when they saw Lu Ping'an.

Because they have long known that the idea of the trilogy came from Lu Ping'an.

Hu Qingquan has already communicated with them.

said that the director has changed, but the rest of the script, salary, roles, schedules, etc. will remain the same, and it will not have any impact.

For the actors, that's not much of a problem.

At most, I will talk to Lu Ping'an, the new director, to see if it is reliable.

And now that I have seen and chatted, I find that Lu Ping'an is even more reliable than I imagined, which is enough.

Of course, what should be worried is still to be worried.

But in general, compared to Nolan, they are actually more at ease with Lu Ping'an, and the reason will not be said, anyway, Nolan has to cover his face and be sad after he knows.

Next, the "Batman" project is in order, with Nolan and Hu Qingquan here, there is basically no need to worry about it.

During the preparation, Lu Ping'an also arranged the filming of the documentary.

The IP of "Batman" obtained by Lu Ping'an only has the right to shoot and part of the distribution right.

Among them, the disc is not affected, and the derivative income of the trilogy itself will not be affected.

For example, the props in the movie can be auctioned, and movie documentaries, posters, etc., can be sold.

Good works, documentaries can sell a lot of money in the future.

The behind-the-scenes documentary of "The Lord of the Rings" is now on sale, and the disc is said to be selling well, so Lu Ping'an will naturally follow suit.

While planning these derivative projects, it is actually a further involvement in the film industry.

So the domestic Wu Guohua team was called to Hollywood.

Now the domestic "Wonderful Night" has not yet started to promote.

Lu Ping'an's goal is to wait for the movie to open, from publicity to release, from the box office to peripheral products, and strive to make commercial profits that exceed "Source Code" and even "Heroes".

Relying on the box office alone, it is actually not easy to count on in this period.

That's why you have to study Hollywood.

Linking all the commercial elements that can be linked is what a successful commercial film should do.

Of course, we still have to grasp the degree of this.

Can't go too far.

However, Lu Ping'an felt that when the time came, with Zhang Weiping, who was very good at excessive marketing, in front of him, his pressure would be much less.

Two weeks later, the production progress of "Dead Silence" exceeded 7%.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Ping'an and Hu Qingquan returned to China.

"Batman" is going to open the domestic scenery link.

This time, the setting will use the mode of live action and special effects, rather than Nolan's real shooting.

This will leave a lot of money and time, and the downside is that it will make Nolan feel uncomfortable.

But now the director is Lu Ping'an, and Nolan can't help it.

But when he knew that the location shooting would be in XZ, that little regret disappeared in an instant.

Nolan has long longed for it, but it is difficult for foreigners to get into XZ.

So this time I was able to shoot there, in fact, not only Nolan, but also Bell was very excited.

But Hu Qingquan also said in advance that whether he could go or not would have to be talked about after communication.

Lu Ping'an's main task when he returned to China was to concentrate on the later stage of "Wonderful Night".

According to the current plan, "Batman" will be able to start at the end of February this year.

It's the beginning of January 04, and two months to get the late stage done, so it's enough time.

On January 8th, the two landed in Beijing, and they didn't call for pick-up, so they took a taxi and left.

The capital in 04 is much faster than before in all aspects.

The Olympic city, from the moment of successful bid for the Olympic Games, has entered a faster development fast lane.

It's just that the air quality is a little worse.

But for Hu Qingquan and them, this is normal, construction is going on everywhere, can the air not be bad, and when the Olympics comes, the whole capital will stop work, and then the blue sky and white clouds will come back.

"The first snow of 2002 came a little later than usual."

That's when a call from DNA came over the radio.

Lu Ping'an's eyes lit up.

Daolang debuted!

I haven't listened to it for years, and the dead memories hula the corpse.

"This song is good!"

Hu Qingquan was pinched on the spot, which caused the taxi driver to resonate very much: "Yes, this singer will be popular." ”

However, he added: "Xiao Young may not like it very much." ”

This was obviously said to Lu Ping'an, who did not speak.

Lu Ping'an smiled: "I think it's pretty good." ”

I really like it, and even like "Impulsive Punishment" on this album.

"Tasteful!"

The driver was happy, and Hu Qingquan also came.

The two old men of about the same age quickly talked about music and politics, and it didn't end until the car arrived at China Film.
