Vol 6 Chapter 104: recommend

He picked up the coffee on the table and found that it was empty again. Nolan raised his head again and saw that it was already dark and the lights outside the room had already been on.

I looked at the watch and found that it was already past 8 o'clock.

He put down the thicker pile of paper in his hand, poured a cup of coffee, rubbed his neck and walked to the window. At night, Los Angeles was brightly lit and sparsely populated, bright and deserted.

Here you can see the Ferris wheel beside Santa Monica Beach in the distance, shining in the night sky. There, perhaps the most lively outdoor in Los Angeles at this time, and other excitement and excitement should be concentrated indoors at this time. , Such as those mansions on the Hollywood Hills.

He is no stranger to those parties. If the news of his arrival in Hollywood is known, he should be at a party in those mansions at this time.

Speaking of which, how long hasn't you waited for someone like this?

Nolan thought for a while. It should have been after he became famous in 2000, he never sat in the reception room like this again, waiting for someone to wait for more than three hours.

Is that Mr. Feng really still in this building at this time, still working?

He glanced over there. The lights in Feng Yiping's office were dim, but the office next to his assistant was still brightly lit.

Well, he should indeed be there.

This level is quite quiet at first, but there are still many Marvel Studios employees walking around. Without exception, from executives to ordinary employees, everyone is full of energy and fast.

Nolan has also visited many companies. He knows that when a company is on an upward track, the status of employees is generally higher, but he feels that Marvel Pictures must have the best employees and the highest morale. Of the family.

He gave him the feeling that these Marvel people with Marvel badges looked like superpower carriers.

Nolan glanced at the thick pile of paper on the table. The nearly three hours of waiting was also very fulfilling. Based on Feng Yiping's rough or detailed basis, he has perfected many plots and scenes.

Among them is Feng Yiping's description of the fight in the hotel corridor under weightlessness that he thought was great.

This kind of passion, he hasn't appeared for a long time, this idea is really amazing, part of the reason, the other part, it should be to win the favor of that Mr. Feng.

Feng Yiping, who is able to come up with such a good idea, plays a pivotal role in the American film circle, and who is also very rich. It is absolutely necessary for Nolan to put out all his efforts to win his favor.

He is about to sit down and continue to work again-maybe that Mr. Feng will be here in a while? Wouldn't he have a better impression of himself if he saw such a scene?

The elevator seemed to be noisy, oh, he should have been up.

Sure enough, a group of people turned out from there, and Nolan saw the young man wearing a white round-neck T-shirt with Iron Man armor printed on it and a prominent Marvel logo. As he walked forward, the people beside him were talking about something.

It seems that he and Marvel's high-level relationship are very close, and everyone respects him very much.

The man next to him wearing a black POLO shirt can clearly see the person whose hairline is just above his head. Nolan has seen him before, and that is the CEO of Marvel Pictures Fitch.

It is rare for him to wear a hat today, Nolan thought, it must be the ultimate reason for the young boss around him.

Feng Yiping raised his head and happened to see Nolan looking at him. He smiled and waved his hand, and walked towards there quickly, Nolan greeted him quickly.

"You must be Nolan director, hello," Feng Yiping held Nolan's hand, "welcome you,"

He looked at the head to toe in front of him, taking care of it meticulously, which was very different from the middle-aged man in the raunchy style of many American directors.

I have to say that culture is indeed powerful.

For example, the gentleman in front of him and the many people beside him should all belong to Anglo-Saxon descent, but you can tell at a glance that they must be from two countries.

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Feng." Upon hearing Feng Yiping's accent, Nora immediately changed her English accent to an American accent.

Because when he was a child, his mother was a stewardess on a flight between Britain and the United States, Nolan was familiar with switching between these two accents at will.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, you must have not eaten yet," Feng Yiping looked at his watch, "Oh, it's already this time, sorry,"

"I have eaten a delicious burger from one of your assistants," Nolan said.

"We're here to eat more, don't you mind," Feng Yiping took Nolan's hand and walked towards the reception room.

"Everyone, hurry up and talk about what you want to eat," Fitch took out a piece of paper, wrote a few lines on it, and passed that piece of paper to the next person.

Feng Yiping saw such a large stack of paper on the table, "This is..."

"These are some plots I added and refined on your basis," Nolan said quickly.

"Can you?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Of course," Nolan took those to Feng Yiping.

Isn’t it what I want you to see?

"Give me a few minutes," Feng Yiping watched, buried his head.

"Nolan, the second Batman, is it going well?" Fitch talked to him.

"The main creators are all the original people, so the current progress is very smooth," Nolan said.

Talking to Fitch, the person in charge of Marvel Pictures, about this issue, he always felt a little awkward. You know, Batman, but from Marvel’s opponent, DC comics.

"This must be another masterpiece that made Warner Music blossom," Fitch said.

"I think more people like me are optimistic about Iron Man," Nolan said.

"Hehe, we also believe that Iron Man should achieve good results," Fitch said with a smile.

Nolan could tell that what he said really didn't mean anything else. He never aimed at himself or Batman. This was just an expression of his full confidence.

Also, for the first big movie that Marvel invested so much resources in, all aspects of work must be in place.

"I heard that your Batman plans to shoot a total of three, and our Iron Man will also shoot three," Fitch said again.

This is also a high degree of confidence.

Because if the performance of the first part is not satisfactory, the second part is generally not available. Similarly, if the second part does not perform well, the third part will probably be cancelled.

That is to say, they believe that the Iron Man series will be successful, and maybe they have already made plans at this time.

After being acquired by Feng Yiping and making up for the shortcomings in funding, Marvel, who has accumulated a deep accumulation, is indeed possible to achieve this.

And Marvel people who have been holding a lot of resources, but can only watch other companies use their resources to make a lot of money, also have this motivation.

"Nolan, are you interested in working with our Marvel?" Fitch asked him suddenly.

"This," Nolan looked at Feng Yiping, who was still watching his supplementary script seriously.

Of course he wanted to.

In the field of comics, although DC can be said to be Marvel’s strongest opponent, in the field of superhero movies, DC is really not worth mentioning. In addition to having made multiple versions, but the content is roughly the same Superman, that is Batman who was rescued in his own hands.

As a director, if you can successfully direct a series of DC superheroes and a series of Marvel superheroes, it is undoubtedly a rare achievement.

"Feng will not ask these questions," Fitch said.

is it? Nolan has some questions.

Feng Yiping seemed to have heard their discussion, and said without looking up, "Yes, I just ask about specific things. You can discuss and see if there are any projects you can cooperate with."

Nolan's heart was hot, isn't this exactly what he wanted to achieve during his trip?

The other person on the table also smiled and said, "This is Hastings, Director Nolan, and you are welcome to come and cooperate with Netflix when you have a good project."

"Good luck meeting," Nolan stood up and exchanged business cards with Hastings.

This is simply not perfect.

The main purpose of this trip does not seem to be a problem. When the conference table was filled with newspapers and filled with takeaways ordered by everyone, Feng Yiping also finished reading those written by Nolan.

"Really, very, very good," he said, "I just gave a mediocre structure, Nolan, you quickly built him into a magnificent mansion, you are a genius!"

"No, the most important thing is that your creativity is good enough," Nolan put down his fork.

He ordered a piece of pasta.

"It's okay, we said while we were eating," Feng Yiping was eating fried rice with a spoon in one hand, and a rib grabbed from someone's plate in the other.

If this is his dinner today, Nolan thinks that his dinner will probably not exceed $5.

And he ate so fast, Nolan's pasta moved a little bit, and his fried rice ate at least one third.

He couldn't help being envious. It's nice to be young.

He looked at the other people on the table. Many of these people with the same wealth were eating simple takeaways. They were also eating while talking and laughing with people around him.

Nolan likes this atmosphere, which makes him feel like he is back in the school cafeteria.

He also believes that in high-end restaurants, most of them cannot have such an atmosphere.

In high-end restaurants, it is not always possible to decide what can be decided here.

Feng Yiping quickly finished his fried rice, "Nolan, if there are no other problems, I wonder if we can finalize this project,"

"The time, of course, is your schedule. As for other aspects, although I don't interfere with Netflix's operation, this time, I want to make an exception. After all, this is somewhat of my creativity."

"You have the final say," Hastings said loudly.

"Then I will decide one thing. The production cost of this project is set at between 150 and 200 million US dollars. What do you think of Nolan?"

"You have the final say," Nolan also said.

He felt that the pasta he ate today must be the most delicious pasta in the world.

Feng Yiping decided to give the movie to himself so quickly, and he also personally set such a high budget, which fully demonstrated his affirmation of himself.

With the invitation of Fitch and Hastings, all the ideas that I had never thought about have been realized. So far, the Hollywood execution this time is simply perfect!

"Everyone eat slowly, Nolan, go, go to my office," Feng Yiping took Nolan towards his office, and there was no lack of beautiful words along the way, "I felt that after reading your memory fragments, You are the best person to make this movie,"

"Thank you very much Feng You for this opportunity, and thank you for your affirmation. Personally, I do have a preference for brain-burning topics like this."

"Inception is really interesting..."

"Haha~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I believe that you will make this movie, it must be the best, what to drink?"

"Whiskey,"

Feng Yiping poured him a glass, "The shooting team is naturally formed by you, and the shooting plan is also arranged by you."

"It's just that, in terms of actors, I want to give you some advice,"

"Okay," Nolan is not surprised, many investors and studio leaders do.

Nolan also considered the actors at this time. He was curious whether Feng Yiping's proposal would be consistent with his own.

"What do you think of the candidate for the actor, Leonardo DiCaprio?" Feng Yiping said.

Nolan stunned.

The candidate in his mind is naturally happy to work with him, that is, he directed the two Batman starring Christian Bale, but let alone DiCaprio, is indeed a good candidate.

"I think it's good," he said.

"Cobb's wife, I think the French Marion Cotillard is very suitable, beautiful and elegant, but with a little nervousness,"

Nolan thought for a while, let alone, Cotillard is indeed very suitable for such a role.

"That young female dreamer, I also have a choice. She is not an actor at the moment, but I think it is very suitable. Of course, you must get your consent then."

"The other major male role is that Mr. Wang from China. I insist that it should be played by a very outstanding Chinese actor."

"This one is my most certain,"

Nolan understood, that is, this one is the least negotiable.

However, he is really embarrassed, that is, for the 6 main characters in the protagonist team, you have set 4 of the main 6 characters in this movie. Is this still called non-interference?
