Let you invest, you support half of the entertainment industry?

After deciding on the casting of "Wednesday", Xu Jia still didn't give up.

His trip to the United States is not just for a TV series, it is to pave the way for the streaming media platform, and he also wants to pave a way for his own Jiaxing.

For example, "Aquaman" and "The Meg" are not actually Jiaxing's works in the eyes of Hollywood. In the eyes of many Hollywood filmmakers, Jiaxing is just benefiting from investment, and behind it is Warner's credit.

What Xu Jia wants to do is to slap these people in the face with a work solely owned by Jiaxing.

So after finishing the preliminary preparations for the crew, he flew to London, where he found a person who was crucial to his new movie project. It can be regarded as a real clue.

In an English restaurant, Xu Jia met the person he wanted to meet. He had blond hair and a beard, and he could vaguely see the shadow of the energetic young man he once was.

"Xu, I've heard of you, China's new entertainment giant. Kevin said you would be the only one among overseas filmmakers capable of attacking Hollywood. I didn't expect you to find me here. If Warner knew about it, I'm afraid it won't be possible for your cooperation to continue, right?"

Nolan looked at Xu Jia with great interest, especially interested in this investor from China. The latter's resume was much more legendary than his own, and then joked: "I thought you would at least find a Chinese restaurant, be honest." When it comes to the English restaurant, I, an Englishman, don’t know what to eat.”

It has to be said that Nolan's self-deprecation immediately dispelled the unfamiliar atmosphere between the two. This guy is relatively young among directors. He was born in the 1970s. It is foreseeable that Cameron and Spielberg will retire. Finally, the other party is the one who is the leader of Hollywood directors.

"It doesn't matter. If Warner's appetite is so small, there is nothing left to keep as a partner. Besides, in my opinion, your value is much greater than Warner's. As for the restaurant issue, it is mainly due to the impact on you, an Englishman." Human respect, if you don’t mind the trouble, we can go eat French food." Xu Jia shrugged and joked.

The two laughed at the same time, becoming familiar with each other immediately and understanding each other's personality more or less.

"As far as I know, you have no work plan after "Dunkirk". Do you want us to cooperate? Believe me, the rights and resources I can give you are far better than what you have in any film and television company." If you want more, I can even help you make the movie shooting smoother." Xu Jia said seriously.

He is no stranger to Nolan, and even all Chinese movie fans are familiar with Nolan. The latter's works are of a kind that can be felt by the charm even if there is a cultural gap. For Warner, Nolan Also top priority.

You must know that the success of the "Batman" series depends on the other party's directing ability. DC Comics has established itself on the character of Batman. The subsequent "Inception" and "Interstellar" have established themselves in the field of science fiction. Conferred God.

"I don't have a work plan because I can't find a suitable subject to shoot. Not all films are made. In addition, I think I need to take a break, so I may be sorry..."

Nolan was only interested in Xu Jia, who was praised highly by Warner CEO Kevin. When it came to making a movie, he really didn't think about cooperating with an investor from China, and he didn't think that the other party would be able to make a movie. To help him, he could only treat it as Xu Jia's nonsense.

Besides, he already had thoughts about a new movie in his mind, and was planning to sort it out and talk to Warner about a new movie 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, his original intention was not to use this invention for war. After that, he was always condemned in his heart, so that after World War II You encountered an unfair hearing, do you think this experience was tortuous enough?"

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

He knew that Nolan should be thinking about the next movie "Tenet" at this time, but he did not delay himself to induce the other party to join his project. After all, the "Oppenheimer Biography" had given him a lot of money in his previous life. Feelings, thus "Oppenheimer" was born. He believed that this life would still be no exception.

Nolan accidentally took the book from Xu Jia's hand. Of course he knew about Oppenheimer, but this was the first time he read the relevant biography, so he opened the book and started reading.

Xu Jia sat aside and waited quietly. The moment the other party opened the book, he knew that the prototype of his plan was completed.

It took a long time until the band in the restaurant played the trumpet, which woke Nolan up.

He experienced world nuclear disarmament as a teenager and was well aware of the threat of nuclear war. Now after reading the book, he discovered that Oppenheimer's heart was so complicated and so similar to the male protagonists in his previous movies. .

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

"Didn't you say that you could help me during the filming of the movie and make the filming smoother? In that case, why not give me some useful advice now." Nolan gave his final test.

Calling it a test, in fact, he was already inclined to cooperate with Xu Jia in his heart. He said this just to prevent the other party from gesticulating during the filming of the film and to dispel the other party's arrogant confidence in advance.

Not everyone can give advice on movies, which is a huge insult to a professional director like him.

"I think for this kind of biography, we can't immediately jump into the role of screenwriter, write the script first person, use the first person perspective to try to live in the world of the characters, and experience the story with Oppenheimer, instead of To judge and criticize this figure purely from an 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; while the latter represents the world in Oppenheimer's own eyes. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Jia didn't show any stage fright and started his talk. Are you kidding me? When this movie was first released, he also watched it in person. He even listened to Nolan's interview after it was released. Regarding the subsequent The author's creative process is very familiar, and his words can be said to have spoken to the other person's heart.

Nolan was silent. He didn't even expect that he could become close friends in the movie with a Chinese investor.

What he said were all my words.
