Chapter 155

In the morning, Lu Pingan received a call from Hu Qingquan.

After knowing the situation, he couldn't help shaking his head.

After a while, I finally returned to the original point.

Warner gave him the feeling that a company has several heads, and each head has different opinions.

No wonder this kind of company will be called a dog by so many DC fans in the future.

"The question now is whether to accept it or not. If you don't accept it, there will be a lot of trouble in the future. If you accept it, it will be difficult for Nolan to be a director."

Hu Qingquan on the other side of the phone continued.

This is indeed a problem.

Acceptance must be accepted.

After all, no one likes trouble, and this additional agreement has some impact on the crew, but not much.

In Hu Qingquan's eyes, the only troublesome thing is the director's problem.

Finding the right director is really not easy.

But this matter is actually just a small trouble for Lu Pingan.

Nolan can't guide, at most it will add a lot of workload to Lu Ping An.

The rest doesn't matter much.

But Lu Pingan still asked: "What if Nolan leaves Warner?"

"It's not worth it. I asked him when I was talking with him before. He also has liquidated damages, which is 300 million US dollars."

$300.

It is really not worth digging the current Nolan.

But if it can get Nolan to hand over the script "Inception" he is currently writing, this deal will be a good deal.

Lu Pingan talked with Nolan before, and he said that he is already writing "Inception", but it has not been completed yet.

It took him nearly ten years to write the original time and space.

If he didn't talk about it, Lu Pingan wouldn't have any psychological burden.

But now that I've said it, it's naturally inappropriate to squeeze it out.

But even so, 300 million US dollars can't just be spent like this.

To recruit people, even with the script of "Inception", what about the "Batman Trilogy"?
Or shoot him?
In the past, Lu Ping'an didn't care.

Anyway, he is not very interested in the trilogy, he just wants to make a profit and shoot the second part with the highest rating.

But now Warner obviously thinks you can't do it.

Even if you want to fight for your breath, you have to come by yourself!
So "Trilogy" must be filmed by myself!

You have forced me to "confess the gods", why should I not go?

So if Nolan is willing to be an assistant director, and he can also give the script of "Inception" that is being written.

He spent the 300 million!
300 million to buy "Inception", is it worth it?

Under the premise that you can't squeeze it, of course it's worth it, and it's blood money!
In addition, if Nolan can come as the assistant director, the shooting of the trilogy will be much more stable.

If you don't want to, it's all over.

So Lu Pingan first said to Hu Qingquan: "Accept it, but we also have to make additional explanations, and they can't interfere with the subsequent production."

"I know, hey, to be honest, I never thought that such a big Hollywood company would be so twisted. Now that I have actually participated in it, I know that this capitalist company is just like some domestic state-owned enterprises."

"Haha, I can't accept that."

"Then let's not talk about it. Find time to come over as soon as possible when you are free. The guy named Xiao Wen has already finished his work, so I will wait for you to come here."

"Okay, I'll book the tickets now, and Nolan will let you know if there is any situation."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Pingan went out to the company.

"Batman" will be filmed by itself, which will take up a lot of time.

So domestic matters, such as the later stage of "Wonderful Night", had to find a time to step up and finish it.

He decided to go to Laomei to deal with the matter and then come back to make a surprise settlement.

The snow is still falling today, and it is still heavy. Yan Danchen's family has come to the capital, and Zhang Tong, the light bulb on Lizi's side, is still there.

I haven't had to play these few days, which is just enough for Lu Pingan to go to Laomei with peace of mind.

The next afternoon, Lu Ping An returned to Summit Entertainment.

The first thing to deal with is "Latent".

Wen Ziren did the editing of the last part of "Latent".

Lu Pingan looked at it and found that it was not bad, almost the same, but Wen Ziren was still a rookie after all, and he did not edit the original version of "Latent", so there are still some differences.

"It's done well, but it needs to be changed. Look, it can be done like this here"

In half a day, the editing of the film was completely done.

Wen Ziren once again saw the power of the Asian rattlesnake.

Then came the sound effects and special effects of "Insidious".

The special effects have also been completed, not by "X", but by an old American special effects company.

It's not expensive, less than [-] US dollars, and the effect is not bad.

The sound effect has already been done, so the finished film will come out in the afternoon.

Of course, it will take about a week to refine, but it does not affect viewing.

Then there is the company to watch the film, needless to say the effect.

Everyone praised it unanimously, and then the fixed time was also set, which is still March.

"Latent" is done, and "Dead Silence" is next.

Wen Ziren is already ready to go.

Lu Ping'an didn't get stuck with him, and it was an auspicious day in three days, so he started working directly.

After arranging all the matters, Hu Qingquan also finalized the final matters.

Then there was no surprise, Nolan was very injured.

But on the surface, it was Lu Pingan who seemed to be hurt the most.

Because Lu Pingan called Nolan directly to complain: "Christopher, I'm curious, are you all so domineering in Hollywood?"

The anger that Lu Pingan tried to suppress in his tone seemed to explode at any time.

Nolan naturally knew why Lu Pingan was so angry.

A simple IP lease has experienced so many things before and after.

Threats first, agreements later.

No one would be happy to change it.

It's just that he should be the one who was hurt the most.

Warner made it clear to him.

Say you don't want to shoot, this is the company's policy!

After finishing the ruthless words, he said, let them shoot this IP. After the shooting fails, the IP will return to the company and let you come!

I believe in you asshole!

Let's not say whether Warner will give it then.

Just now, as the director, can he know if there is any hope for this project?
To put it bluntly, I'm still too weak, people can't listen to my words!
So the one who wants to vent the most is him.

However, he still maintained a certain demeanor, and he replied to Lu Pingan:
"Lu, I'm not from Hollywood, I'm British."

"I don't care what country you are from, anyway, I don't like you Westerners right now."

Lu Pingan continued to vent.

But after speaking, he calmed down after taking a few deep breaths.

"I'm sorry Christopher, I lost my temper just now, let's get back to business, I will take over the film, and I have to make Warner pay for their arrogance."

"I know Lu, you will definitely succeed."

"Do you still want to film Batman?"

"Ah what?"

"I mean, a company like Warner is really boring. You can leave Warner and join us. Let's make a trilogy together. You will be my assistant director for the trilogy first, and I will support you in whatever you want to shoot in the future. How about it?"

"But my liquidated damages are not low."

"How many?"

"$450 million."

"so much?!"

Lu Pingan was really surprised.

"Yeah, I have joined Warner for less than a year, and quitting now will trigger additional clauses."

Nolan didn't offer much hope.

He didn't think Lu Pingan would really spend the money.

It is impossible to replace anyone.

Now he is not enough for this price.

Unless there are big fools.

As a result, Lu Pingan said at this time: "Then you have to pay more."

"what?"

"Has the script about dreaming that you mentioned earlier been written yet?"

"Not yet, the first act is almost finished, and the next two acts are still being conceived."

"Give me this idea, I'll pay 450 million."

"???"

Nolan couldn't help wondering at this moment whether Lu Pingan was really a fool
