Chapter 353 Nolan and his "Inception"!
"Hello, I am Wu Xiang."
Wu Xiang shook hands with Nolan, but he still hadn't figured it out. Why did this Christopher Nolan come to find him?
Christopher Nolan, this is no ordinary director. He has a very high reputation in our country, especially in the minds of some young people.
To be honest, Wu Xiang also admired the great director Nolan back then. Really, his "Batman" movies should be said to be three. They are really classic enough, especially the third one, which is
"The Dark Knight Rises", which has just been filmed and will be released next year, is beyond words, it is great!
It has an extremely strong dark atmosphere, which creates enough depression and visual shock. It not only has a very successful box office, but also has an excellent reputation. Almost all movie fans around the world recognize that Nolan's version of "Batman" is a classic.
of classics.
Superhero movies are actually not easy to make, especially DC heroes, which are even more difficult to make.
American comics are mainly about superheroes. Everyone knows this, but in fact, these heroes have two owners, one is called DC, and the other is Marvel. MARVEL, these two companies are very powerful, DC's
The representative heroes are Superman and Batman, and MARVEL. There are many more, such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk...etc., they are all theirs.
There are fewer DC ones, and more MARVEL ones. The latter ones can be teamed up to fight monsters, while the former ones are more lonely and can be played alone... Okay, let's not study online games, let's talk about movies.
In fact, DC has a bigger name, its heroes are more powerful, more powerful, and they are more well-known. But...
DC comics are good, but when they are made into movies, most of them are just blockbusters!
Historically speaking, DC’s heroes were the earliest to be adapted. Superman was the first to appear on the big screen, and he was an instant success. Christopher Reeve, who was so handsome that he became the first generation of superheroes, a classic and a box office hit.
hot.
But then, other versions of Superman began to attack, and they continued to attack, attack, and attack again!
This is not only true for Superman, but also for Batman. The first part was okay, but after that, my god, it was really a waste of time and had no friends.
So what's the problem? Isn't the cast and production team just right?
Wrong! It has nothing to do with the lineup or anything.
Whether it's Superman or Batman, from the starring role to the supporting role to the director, they are almost all big names. If we look at the cast and director lineup of these two heroes, we can easily find that, like Jack.
Nicholson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Kelly, Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner…
Each one is a bigger name than the other, but this movie is losing money each one.
The film company that suffered the loss was almost crying. Until a savior appeared, and that was Christopher Nolan!
That's right, it's him. It's him who brought "Batman" back to life. The previous "Batman", especially the "Batman and Robin" with Schwarzenegger and Jim Kelly, was not only a loss-making movie company but also made it cry.
The review of "Dad Calls Mom" is a mess, but when Nolan comes out, who can compete with it?
Not only is it good at the box office, but the movies he made are also very close to the original work. "Batman" is originally a dark hero, but in Nolan's hands, his temperament is darker and more fascinating, almost completely
The world's theory is a good word, and it cannot be better.
It is normal for such a director to attract people's admiration. He can turn the tide before it collapses and support the building before it collapses. Therefore, when Wu Xiang saw Nolan coming to look for him, he was really surprised.
There are some surprises and surprises, and I almost act like a crazy fan and ask for autographs.
You are also a great director, so how can you ask for autographs from others, right?
But what Wu Xiang didn't expect was Nolan's intention.
"Director Wu Xiang, I have watched your "Source Code". It is really great. You are simply a genius. So, I hope to come and visit you. You know, in fact, I also have an idea in my heart
, is to make a movie that is somewhat similar to your "Source Code". That movie is also between reality and fantasy. How can I put it, I personally feel that the two movies seem to be somewhat similar, so..."
Nolan's posture was very low, and he looked like he was asking for advice. This really surprised Wu Xiang, and at the same time he was a little happy!
Can I be unhappy? This director whom I admired before is now asking me for advice. It’s really happening now and then.
"Is it okay if I borrow some of your creativity from Director Wu?"
Nolan has fully explained his purpose. To put it bluntly, he is afraid of copyright issues or being accused of plagiarism. Of course, there is another layer of meaning, and Wu Xiang also feels it.
"Of course, there's no problem with that. Well, I also like your work very much, Mr. Nolan. Really, I've watched "Batman" several times, and it's very well shot.
To be honest, I really hope to cooperate with Mr. Nolan once..."
Wu Xiang spoke up for Christopher Nolan. Isn’t it good that we all cooperate so that everyone can share their ideas?
Of course, that’s actually Nolan’s purpose.
Although Nolan's current fame is not particularly great, it is not as good as after the release of "The Dark Knight Rises", but now he is also a well-known director. However, there are some things that famous directors need to pay attention to, and that is themselves
Try not to have any traces of other people’s films in your films.
Personal style, or tsundere, you can call it whatever you want, but a great director must have his own style, so when "Source Code" came out, Nolan's original plan for a movie had some problems.
A few years ago, Nolan wanted to make a documentary about Edward Hughes, but as we all know, in the end the film was made by the great director Martin Scorsese, and Nolan didn't make it, so he made this
A new version of Edward Hughes would not have been born.
However, Nolan was very committed to that movie. He thought it was a very good idea, so he came to Wu Xiang to see if we could collaborate. For example, Wu Xiang would be the screenwriter.
The name is fine, and then he directs it. In this case, wouldn’t the problem be solved?
"Oh, that's great. Let's go out and celebrate. I think the future of our cooperation will be very wonderful, especially since director Wu Xiang is also an excellent screenwriter. I believe the plot of this movie will be full of twists and turns.
Bizarre." It was obvious that Nolan wanted to treat someone to dinner.
Why should Wu Xiang refuse? But... screenwriter?
"Well, I believe it will be like this." Wu Xiang had no choice but to agree.
"Hey, I won't be missing, right?" Heath Ledger naturally came up.
"Of course." Nolan was very generous.
Soon, a group of three people came to a bar. It was quite quiet here, and there was a singer singing, which was very melodious.
"My idea is this. We can use technology to enter other people's brains, enter other people's thoughts, and then steal some useful information in deep consciousness. This will play a huge role in the future.
It can be used in business wars, it can be used in espionage work. It can be... Anyway, the whole world will change because of this, and it is not easy to get into other people's brains, so someone needs to do it..."
Nolan was talking endlessly about his thoughts, and now, Wu Xiang also understood that this movie should be "Inception"!
Yes, it must be this one. But now this movie is just an idea, an idea of Nolan's.
"So." Wu Xiang interrupted Nolan, "Can we use some special methods, because people must protect their brains. Therefore, it should be difficult to enter in normal times. How about we just
Make use of it, Meng. Meng, what do you think?"
"Oh God! That's great! This is it!" Nolan was very happy because Wu Xiang had the same idea as him.
"I think the protagonist should be an architect, but what he builds is a dream, and he needs a lot of helpers. Obviously he can't do it alone. So, the character has friends, and there is enough plot.
Conflict. In fact, we can make something bolder, that is, the protagonist, the architect, is actually the biggest BOSS. Well, it is actually what is in his thinking, what is in his mind.
That’s the scariest thing.”
This guy Wu Xiang has simply expanded his imagination endlessly. Of course, this is Christopher Nolan's idea, but in reality?
Of course, this is Wu Xiang retelling Nolan's movie as a reborn person. Well, this guy is simply too bad!
But the bad thing is clever, Wu Xiang puts himself in the position of an inspirer, and he doesn't want to constrain Nolan.
"Yes! It's called Dream Builder!" Nolan felt very happy because Wu Xiang's idea was so in line with his own.
In fact, no matter what the co-production is, they are basically the same... Wu Xiang, who is unscrupulous, is already laughing in his heart.
"What are you two talking about? Are you so happy?" Heath Ledger on the side felt like a soy sauce guy. He could only listen to music and drink. If he had known better, he would have gone to a more passionate bar without saying anything.
You can even take off your clothes and have a ball game.
"Just drink your wine." Nolan and Wu Xiang said this almost at the same time, and then.
"Ha ha……"
Both of them laughed. Of course, this smile is different from laughter. One person's laughter means that he has found a soulmate, while the other person's smile means that he has gained an advantage and can't hold it back any longer.
Finally, Nolan and Wu Xiang talked about all the details about the movie "Inception". The details are all covered.
"Wu, that's really great. I'm inviting you to be the screenwriter of our new film now. Of course, if you want to direct the film, that's also possible. Of course, you know, I hope I can...
"Nolan also extended his hand as an invitation.
"Screenwriter?" Wu Xiang laughed when he heard this, "Are you mistaken? I don't know how to be a screenwriter!"
This sentence made Nolan stunned.
PS: Thanks to Swing Rang and Tianmeng for their monthly tickets, thank you very much!
It seems that Baodao has been in trouble again recently, about some kind of trade, hehehe, after looking at the black car, I found that it was just a bunch of politicians asking for votes, it was so ugly, I really set a new limit for myself. This time
