Legendary Hollywood Producer - Chapter 181
Christopher Nolan looked up at the sign of the bar, and made sure that he had made no mistake before pushing the door and walking in.
After a while, the waiter greeted him.
He was about to inquire about the location of the private room.
Before he could speak, a hand stretched out from behind and slapped him on the shoulder. Christopher Nolan turned his head to look, and found that he didn’t know when Roman and Christian Bell had arrived by his side. .
And naturally it was Roman who patted him on the shoulder.
“Here.” Christian Bale greeted.
The three of them crossed the dance floor on the first floor together, and went up to the second floor through the wooden stairs on the side, and finally sat down in the private room.
Roman threw it over and listened to the dark beer, Nolan took it, and opened the lid.
“How about it, are you still used to the job of shooting?” The three of them touched, Christopher Nolan raised his head and drank a half bottle, hearing this question Romain asked. After putting down the bottle, he said, “Very good.”
After another sip of the remaining beer, Christopher Nolan ordered another.
The three of them kept toasting, and the power of alcohol quickly narrowed the distance between them.
And to be honest, as a director, Christopher Nora has been under pressure recently, which is also a good way to vent the pressure, but he doesn’t drink like this often.
As the time gradually became late, the bar began to lively.
More and more people began to walk into the bar. The three of them walked from the box to the guardrail on the second floor. Drinking wine, they could clearly see that the deck on the first floor was almost full.
Roman put down the wine bottle in his hand, looked at Christopher Nolan and said, “After shooting “Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow”, what are your plans?”
Nolan looked at Roman strangely, and then said: “I don’t know, it is possible to shoot another movie during this period.”
After all, for Batman’s entire trilogy work, Warner has strict plans, and indeed there will be a window period after the first movie is released. This is a long break for Nolan, so he Recently, I am also thinking about a new shooting idea that emerged from “Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow” to see if there is a chance to experiment with shooting.
Roman was very happy when he heard this.
In any case, if you can personally tell from Nolan’s mouth that he has this attitude, the next thing will be more negotiable.
Although Roman knows that Nolan will figure out a commercial film of “Fatal Magic” during this period, is it still impossible to know the news for sure? There will always be some guesses as to whether the timeline will be messed up, leading to some changes, but now that I think about it, I guess it won’t.
Because the copyright of the film adaptation of the novel was bought by Roman in advance, when Christopher Nolan decided to take up the role of Warner’s Batman Rebirth Project, he was thinking about how to get more from this excellent director. Favorable factors.
If he can continue to cooperate with him, or even become a long-term, stable partner, even if his directing salary will get higher and higher, Roman is willing.
If you can pick up a big director for nothing, you don’t know how much priority you have in terms of film projects. These days, there are good ideas, but there is a shortage of talents who can realize them.
Christopher Nolan is undoubtedly a very suitable director for this.
Not only does he control the movie budget well, just say as much as it is, he doesn’t think like a truck driver, and he doesn’t mess around with tricks, but he also has nothing to do with the combination of art and commerce. Out of the box.
Nolan’s works can always achieve word-of-mouth and box office gathering. It may be a bit crazy to say that Hollywood’s first director in this area may be a bit crazy, but at least it is among the top ten in the world.
“Is there a chance to cooperate again?” Roman stopped sloppy and directly stated his biggest purpose of this trip.
Any decompression and connection are all imaginary, and only real benefits will not deceive people.
When Nolan heard it, he also understood the nature of the reception.
But he was not disgusted in his heart, but rather interested.
Christian Bell on the side listened to the ears the whole time, thinking in his heart what Roman wanted to cooperate with Nolan, and what it meant to call him, no…
That’s right, for this new project, Roman just wanted Nolan and Bell to collaborate again, so he directly invited him over.
Anyway, the two of them have worked together since then.
When I watched Nolan’s interview, I also said: He prefers the actor Christian Bell.
“Oh?” Christopher Nolan subconsciously felt that cooperation could be reached. For a producer like Roman, there is really little interference with his director’s identity and filming work. No director does not like to have great autonomy over his own work, let alone Roman still today. Helped him and helped him maintain his position and authority in the crew.
“Do you have any ideas? Or is there a script setting, can it be convenient for me to know?” Nolan continued to ask.
“Of course no problem.” Roman was about to talk about the outline of the new project. Christian Bell on the side saw this and had to avoid it. As a wise man, he knows when he should listen and when he should not listen.
But Roman obviously didn’t think so. He directly stopped Christian Bale who wanted to leave, “Man, you can also stay. Maybe the three of us will cooperate in this new project again, and this is just a plot. It’s just the setting, it’s not a big deal.”
Roman said so, and Christian Bale naturally chose to stay.
People are all curious, and they still involve themselves.
“The creative idea of the film comes from a novel written by Pieristover-Pirris, called “Fatal Magic”, which is about the legendary experience of two genius magicians in the Victorian period…” Roman I met Nolan and Bell, drank a sip of beer, soothed the thoughts in my mind, and waited for the two of you to digest what I just said before continuing to speak: “Although this seems to be a non-mainstream movie , But I find it very interesting, so I want to bring this story back to the big screen, how about? Are you interested in cooperating?”
“Not bad.” Christopher Nolan was the first to express his affirmation, “But after I finish filming “Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow”, I guess I won’t have time to set up this project until next year, Roman, what do you mean? “
Christian Bell also said: “My schedule may be available after the filming of this film, but I will also need to follow up on the film promotion afterwards. It is estimated that it will be about the same as Nolan’s admission time.”
