I'm a movie star on earth

Chapter 466 Simple and Complicated Movies

"Actually, director Nolan, not only I can't understand, I think the audience will have some problems understanding this film after it is released." Li He said.

Nolan didn't understand, but he was too confident that the audience would understand after watching it a few more times.Li He did not argue with Nolan on this aspect, and he is not Tom Cruise, even if Tom Cruise came in person, it is impossible for him to interfere with Nolan's script creation.

Li Hyuk's idea was actually that Nolan invited his younger brother Jonathan Nolan back to revamp the script.This is not whimsical. Many people have seen the sci-fi classic of "Interstellar" film history. At first, this project was actually proposed by Kip Thorne, and then handed over to Spielberg.

The original appearance of the film was a typical commercial blockbuster, filled with all kinds of strange alien creatures, and then the protagonist team upgraded all the way to fight monsters and save the earth. It can be understood as a near-future version of "Star Wars".

Since then, Spielberg has been busy with DreamWorks, and this project has been in the hands of Warner Pictures, and Nolan has taken a fancy to it, so he personally adapted the script.The original version of the script did not have the touching father-daughter relationship between the hero Cooper and his daughter Murphy. It was a brain-burning space science fiction film, but after Jonathan Nolan participated in the screenwriting, he added the line of daughter, which made the film touching. level rises linearly.

How exquisite and brain-burning the film arrangement is, it is still essentially a product driven by the senses.The audience will be amazed by the visual spectacle of "Star Wars" and will be moved by the love story of Rose and Jack.

To put it simply, the story of "Creed" lacks a real selling point, and it doesn't count as burning brains. Few of the audience who can come to the cinema intend to bring their brains.In fact, in the film market, simple films are often better sold, otherwise "Avatar" would not have occupied the number one spot at the box office so far.

Some people will say that "Avatar" is a big hit because of its 3D movie. This is just a superficial appearance. Pushing forward, if you make "Batman: The Dark Knight" into a 3D movie, can it earn more than 20 billion US dollars worldwide? ?

A basic logic of the film market's obedience is that simplicity does not necessarily mean a big hit, but complexity often means hitting the street.Except for a few directors such as Nolan, no one can resist this logic.

Li He and Nolan chatted for more than an hour in the study, and they had a deep understanding of all aspects of Nolan's preparation for the film.To put it simply, "Creed" is Nolan's own 007 movie, a spy movie.Nolan is a loyal fan of the 007 series. When he first entered the film industry, the film he most hoped to shoot was 007. For this reason, he recommended himself to MGM many times in his early years, but it was a pity that people looked down on him.

After becoming famous for many years, Nolan finally wanted to fulfill his 007 dream, so the film "Creed" was born.

After admiring the manor, Da Mimi and Mrs. Nolan chatted in the living room. Da Mimi was half-versed in English, and Mrs. Nolan could only speak simple Chinese, so the two practiced hand gestures and chatted half-knowledgeably, and even made a fuss. A lot of jokes.

When Li He and Nolan came out of the study room and saw the two of them chatting chicken and duck, cow and horse, they were also dumbfounded.Mrs. Nolan asked Da Mimi what she usually does, and Da Mimi answered irrelevantly, saying that she usually likes to use those cosmetics.Mrs. Nolan asked Da Mimi if she liked the manor just now, and Da Mimi replied that she had come to the United States for her experience.

Li He and Nolan looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.The funniest thing is that when Li He and Da Mimi said goodbye, Mrs. Nolan still had a look of reluctance, saying that she had a good chat with Da Mimi, so Li He often brought Da Mimi to visit.

After getting in the car, Li He asked Da Mimi: "You and Mrs. Nolan chatted so happily, do you understand each other?"

Da Mimi shook his head and said: "I don't understand, I guessed it, and just caught the familiar vocabulary and chatted nonsense."

Li He was speechless: "It's really stupid, this can be an embarrassing conversation, if I can deduct three rooms and one living room."

"Stop pretending, how was your chat with Director Nolan?"

"It's not bad. After all, we have worked together before and have an impression of each other." Li He said, scratching his head and said, "I still don't understand the script. After listening to Director Nolan's explanation, I became even more confused."

Da Mi Mi patted Li He on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't succeed in the audition, at worst, let's go back to China!"

"Hope it succeeds..."

Warner Pictures is located in Burbank, a small town near Los Angeles, where the famous Warner Studios and Fox Studios are located.Disney has now completed the acquisition of Fox. The Fox studio is said to be dismantled. There is only one Warner studio left.

As a studio established in the last century, Warner Studios can be said to have witnessed the historical rise and fall of Hollywood, and the audition for "Tenet" is placed here.

Qian Duoduo and Da Mimi accompanied Li He to the audition scene, and saw many well-known Hollywood first- and second-tier movie stars.I used to see it in movie theaters, but seeing it in person is even more amazing.

Many Hollywood movie stars were a little surprised and a little suspicious when they saw the three people of yellow race appearing suddenly. Many of them knew Li He's name and knew that Li He was a Chinese actor.

Li He and Qian Duoduo and Da Mi Mi found a seat and sat down first, waiting for arrangements from Warner Pictures.Just then, a black actor with a big beard who looked like NBA star James Harden came over: "Korean? Or Japanese?"

"No, I'm from Huaxia..." Li He replied neither humble nor overbearing.

The black actor looked Li Hyuk up and down, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I know you. You have acted in "La La Land". That movie is really good."

"Thank you, who are you?"

"My name is John David Washington," the black actor replied.

"Could you be?"

"No, I have nothing to do with Denzel Washington, my father is in prison." John David Washington replied.

Li He knew in his heart that he was the son of Denzel Washington. It was said that when John David Washington first entered the show business circle, he did not want to rely on his father's fame, so he made up that his father was a prisoner.From this point of view, John David Washington is much better than many domestic second-generation stars.

"Director Nolan told me that my competitor this time is you. If I don't perform well in the audition, the crew won't choose me." John David Washington said, and looked Li Hyuk up and down. Fan, seems to feel a little incredible.

Li Hyuk smiled slightly and said: "Then let's work hard, we will see the truth in the audition."

"Very well, Chinese people, I will not show mercy." John David Washington left after finishing speaking. As for the other stars who participated in the audition, they had no intention of chatting at all, because they were not familiar with each other after all.

"This John David Washington looks so arrogant as he looks like he has the chance to win!" Da Mimi said.

"It's understandable that compared to blacks, it's really difficult for Chinese in Hollywood. In the IT and high-tech industries, Chinese are definitely the mainstream, but in sports and entertainment, blacks are definitely stronger than Chinese." Li He said.

　After eating hot pot, my stomach hurts so much. I will go to the next two shifts today.
