Chapter 26: Nolan Brothers
"What? Zhuke, do you know these two young boys?"
Kangdi sitting aside, he saw Zhu Ke staring at the two young men playing with interest.
Hearing this, Zhu Ke denied it on the spot.
Just kidding, how can Zhuke know them now?
Of course, not in the previous life.
These two brothers are still not well-known, but after ten years, no one in Hollywood will not know the names of the two brothers!
Brother is Christopher Nolan;
The younger brother is Jonathan Nolan.
Especially Christopher Nolan, as the older brother, his future will resound all over the world.
"Batman The Dark Knight" trilogy, "Inception", "Interstellar" and other movies, which one is not a household name?
As a director, even in China, some netizens call him Nolan God.
Of course, "Dunkirk" released in China, forget it, don't mention it. It was simply a history of British men's desperate defeat and escape. They were filmed as a triumphant strategic retreat, which was resisted by many domestic netizens. Well, Zhuke himself doesn't like it either.
The younger brother Jonathan Nolan is a writer and screenwriter. Although his name is not as loud as his brother, the adaptation of "Batman Dark Knight" he participated in also illustrates its extraordinary strength.
"what?"
"That's not right, Zhuke!"
"I know you, but you can't afford to have an early character. These two brothers seem to be ordinary people. Can they attract your attention?"
"Could it be that they have a special identity?"
Kangdi was on the side, and began to murmur and guess constantly. Even Victor and Martha next to them were curious.
"Ha ha!"
Zhuke deliberately looked at Condy with a rather disdainful look, with an expression of "you are very immature". This expression made Condy half to death.
Right now, Zhuke ignored Condy, but got up and walked straight to the two Nolan brothers.
"Uh... hello sir, may I have something to do?" Christopher Nolan looked at Zhuke suspiciously.
"Hello two, I'm Zucker Wald, the owner of a Hollywood film and television production company. I just heard you discuss movies and shooting techniques. If I guess right, you hope to also engage in film and television production in the future. This job. If you can, I don’t mind offering a job for both of you. Oh, this is my business card with a phone number on it. Don’t look at me like that. I’m not a liar. You can call to verify." Said.
Upon hearing this, the Nolan brothers were all taken aback.
The owner of a Hollywood studio?
Is this young?
That’s right, even if Zhu Ke provided his business card, the two brothers still thought Zhu Ke was a liar. It's no wonder they doubted, but Zhuke was too young.
As long as he is a normal person, he will be wary.
"Uh, nice to meet you."
Even if the Nolan brothers suspected that Zhuke was a liar, they did not immediately reveal it.
Then the three of them chatted a few more awkwardly, until Victor, Conti, and Martha came to explain, they two believed that Zhu Ke is really the owner of a Hollywood film company.
did not deceive them!
From the words, Zhu Ke also knew why Brother Nolan was at the airport.
Christopher Nolan, 25 this year, is now studying English literature at University College London; and as his only 20-year-old brother, Jonathan Nolan is studying at Georgetown University in Washington. This time he flew from the United States to come. Look at his brother.
after awhile.
Martha suddenly reminded: "Boss, our plane is about to take off."
Hearing this, Zhu Ke said regretfully: "Oh, this **** plane took off at this time. I'm sorry I can't talk more. Well, I take the liberty to ask, can you two keep the phone? Of course, mine. It means that if two people are interested in entering Hollywood, please contact me! Remember! Remember!"
"Thank you!"
Brother Nolan quickly thanked him, and his expression was a little excited.
Both of them are still young people now, and they are not the future great gods. Now that a Hollywood studio owner values them so much, how can they not be excited?
If it weren't for the older brother Christopher Nolan, who is currently shooting the movie "Follow" and has not graduated yet, I would probably have followed Zhuke to Hollywood.
"The movie "Follow"? You finished the film, come directly to Hollywood to find me, I will help you arrange." Zhu Ke was very generous.
"Follow" is Nolan's Virgo.
Zhuke had learned about it in his previous life, and the cost was less than US$6,000, and the box office was not high, only more than US$400,000.
However, after Nolan entered Hollywood in 2000, his first film "Memories", which cost 500 US dollars, received more than 39 million US dollars at the global box office, and won the Saturn Award for Best Action/Adventure Film and two Oscars. Nomination can be described as fame in one fell swoop.
In the face of Zhuke who was generous in his performance, the Nolan brothers again expressed their gratitude and stated that they would definitely go to Hollywood to find Zhuke in the future.
...
After returning to Los Angeles, everyone went home.
Zuke is not idle either. In order to raise funds for the filming of "Spider-Man", Zhuke is desperate to make money, using all available means.
No, just ten days later, the rookie director Zhu Ke actually worked out four scripts in one go. There are four films, "Fatal Turn", "Sixth Sense of Supernatural", "Fruit Hard Candies" and "Juneo".
Of course, the four scripts are all rough versions, and the company’s screenwriters are needed for further refinement and supplementation.
The system pretended to be dead, and Zhuke could only bite the bullet.
During the ten-day retreat, Zhuke was almost exhausted. The four films Zhu Ke chose have one thing in common, that is, they are low-cost and suitable for the current Wald Pictures.
1. The "Deadly Bend" series of films is a typical Hollywood plasma horror film in the 21st century.
The movie content of the series is roughly the same. It's nothing more than a group of young Americans who went to the wild to play, encountered a forest ogre, and then was madly tortured to death by tools such as wire, tree trunks, and kitchen knives, and they were eaten~www .wuxiaspot.com~ I remember that the cost of each movie in the series will not exceed $2 million or less. "
"Can be prioritized."
Actually, Zhuke doesn't remember the box office of "Fatal Turn 1" after it was released, but before Zhuke crossed over, he watched eight movies of the series.
is enough to show that the "Fatal Corners" series is profitable!
"The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" is even more outstanding.
Although its shooting cost is a little higher, it has a full US$40 million, but it was the second largest film in the North American annual box office in 1999, with a North American box office of 293 million US dollars and a global box office of 670 million US dollars. It also won the Oscar for Best Picture. Nomination.
"The box office is eye-catching, but I don't have any money! Let's let it go first."
"Fruit Hard Candy" is also a small-cost movie. It is estimated to cost less than 1 million US dollars and it can be done.
The movie is actually not well-known, and the final box office was more than 6 million US dollars. But as a niche movie, it also has a lot of influence. The movie is mainly similar to the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, but in the film is the story of Little Red Riding Hood killing the Big Bad Wolf and performing castration.
"Well, the cost is low, the difficulty is small, you can consider it."
"Juneo", which is quite famous, mainly tells the story of underage women getting pregnant after being unmarried. Once it was released in 2007, it caused widespread discussion.
The box office is crazy!
The filming was completed, it only took 35 days and the investment cost was 6.5 million US dollars, but 230 million US dollars in box office were harvested worldwide.
After some thoughts, Zhu Ke packed up the four movie scripts and got up and went to Wald Pictures.
