Vol 6 Chapter 105: Perseverance and compromise

Nolan really refused.

No matter how good a project is, the intervention of amateurs like Feng Yiping, even if the funds are sufficient, generally will not have any good results in the end.

However, he really couldn't make that determination.

Rejecting this movie project is not just rejecting this project, but also rejecting Marvel, Netflix, and YouTube.

In any case, in the presence of so many executives in Feng Yiping, he has already taken over the film, and now he says not to make it. Even if Feng Yiping doesn't care, the high-levels of Marvel, Netflix and YouTube will not care.

Nolan can't bear such consequences.

In many places, talent is indeed very scarce, but in places like Hollywood, film talent is not only not scarce, it is really very surplus.

The humble guy who served you coffee in a street cafe today, as long as there is a chance, you might see him at the Oscars next year.

This is the reason why waves of people flock to Hollywood from all over the world-Hollywood is a land of opportunities and dreams.

Although in terms of probability, there are very few people who can get an opportunity and realize their dreams, but it is undeniable that in Los Angeles, there are many people who are indeed capable of becoming Nolan. They just lack one. Only chance.

"Feng, I think I can understand that these candidates you recommended have your reasons, your starting point, and they are also for the sake of this movie, but I have to say, if you give this movie to me, how should I shoot and find Whoever shoots is my question,"

"I understand, I understand completely," Feng Yiping smiled and sat down opposite him. "Do you think I have any selfishness from the candidates I recommend?"

"Neither Leonardo nor Cotillard, I have never seen them face to face,"

"Furthermore, from the director's point of view, what do you think of the two people I recommend? At least, I think it will fit our setting very well, right?"

"As for Mr. Wang, I have to insist on this point. Since I am a Chinese entrepreneur, it must be performed by a Chinese."

"Do you know what I can't accept the most? Just find a Chinese actor to play the role of a Chinese."

"But those who are Westernized, maybe even Chinese who have never been to China and only speak English, are just wearing a Chinese skin."

"They completely express the true spirit of the Chinese who are not there,"

"Regardless of their acting skills, in the eyes of Chinese audiences, there is only one ridiculous result left in the end, which is like looking for a Frenchman to play a British manor..."

"Feng, I think I understand what you mean," Nolan said.

It must be said that from Nolan’s perspective, Leonardo and Cotillard proposed by Feng Yiping are indeed good candidates.

Especially Cotillard, he also felt at this time that there may be no other actress who is more suitable for that role than her.

French actresses, because of the romantic factor in their genes, play such a neurotic role, and the effect is generally good.

As for the candidate for the actor, although he thinks the best is Christian Bale, Leonardo’s overall strength, especially his own attention, will be higher than Bale.

As for the role of the Chinese, he totally agrees with Feng Yiping's view that a completely Westernized actor with a Chinese appearance is indeed not good at acting as a real Chinese.

He also realized that among the four recommended candidates, Feng Yiping may be mixed with some other factors, that is, the female dream builder.

According to the setting, it was a female college student in school.

Considering Mr. Feng's age, well, this may indeed be a role he prepared for a certain "friend".

Nolan also understands this, who hasn't been young yet?

If given the opportunity, who wouldn't want to take care of those close to him?

For example, he himself often uses his younger brother Jonathan Nolan as his screenwriter.

"But I request that the candidates you recommend must pass my interview in the end,"

"No problem," Feng Yiping said, "I think you will understand by then that I am actually considering you and considering this movie."

"I also hope that you will not intervene in other issues in the future," Nolan said again.

"Hehe, I have to have that time too," Feng Yiping smiled, "Oh, wait,"

Nolan was surprised again, really has other requirements?

"I remembered one more thing. I know you prefer real-life shooting. For cost reasons, I hope that there are some scenes that you think are not good for Hollywood production and shooting. It is best to put them in China."

"For example, those fighting in the hotel corridors under weightlessness will require the production of large props. Believe me, it will be more economical to produce and film in China. We can spend more money on other aspects."

"I know, you have always wanted to make a movie in the IMAX format. In this movie, you can do some experiments."

After hearing this, Nolan believes that even though they consider issues from different perspectives, Feng Yiping's requirements are, in the final analysis, really considering this movie and him.

Therefore, such a compromise is not actually a compromise.

He stood up, "If you don't ask for anything else, I don't have any problems,"

"Nothing," Feng Yiping shook his hand and patted his shoulder, "Haha, buddy, don't be so serious, trust me, this will definitely be a successful project in the future,"

Of course it will succeed. Feng Yiping remembers that the box office of this movie should be in the top dozens of the global movie box office rankings, which will be at least 500 million US dollars.

I heard that many people ran back to watch the second time because they didn't understand it the first time.

"There is a car downstairs to take you back to the hotel, and take a good rest in the evening, and tomorrow morning, my plane will take you back to Chicago."

"I'm sorry this time. Next time, I will definitely invite you to dinner in the restaurant," Feng Yiping said.

"Thank you Feng, but if you let your plane take me off, can you leave now?" Nolan asked.

"Oh, yes, you left the entire crew over there, no problem, Wu Qian, contact the crew," Feng Yiping said.

…………

After Nolan left, Feng Yiping, who took the car home, received a call from Chen Tao, "Yiping, didn't sleep, tell the good news. As soon as Teacher Chen heard that this was your creativity, you also said that you strongly recommend him to play this The character, he didn't ask what kind of character it was, so he agreed."

"Really?" This is indeed good news.

"Yes, Mr. Chen said that he will definitely play this role in response to the changes you have brought to the domestic film and television industry. He also said that he will ask his family to teach English immediately."

Feng Yiping knew that he was talking about the things he had caused when the so-called superstars in Hong Kong and Taiwan did not speak Mandarin when filming in the Mainland.

Behind that incident was the Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, the superiority in front of mainland artists, and the discrimination against mainland artists.

As an actor who has collaborated with Hong Kong stars, Mrs. Chen clearly understands this, so he will agree with Feng Yiping's move.

As for him taking the initiative to learn English, this can be regarded as taking the initiative to solve a big problem for Feng Yiping.

In the process of domestic actors going abroad, the biggest problem is also the language problem. You must know that after a few years, some young actors in China are still deciding on English personality.

This is especially true for people like Teacher Chen. When they go to school, they may learn Russian, but obviously they don't have much contact with English.

He has a movie, and Feng Yiping is very impressed, "My 1919", but in that movie, his English pronunciation is obviously dubbed, which seems to be a pity.

It seems that this movie won't be anymore.

Feng Yiping believes that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in this adapted film, his performance will surpass the original Watanabe Ken.

The original Watanabe Ken’s acting skills are okay, but the tycoon he played is stubborn and gloomy, and looks like a person who is only for the benefit of his company, which actually weakens the power of the whole movie.

Of course, Ken Watanabe and Feng Yiping, who also don't know about this matter, have no opinion. He just has opinions about his country, his clan, and their culture.

He thinks that from now on, these old domestic actors will finally no longer have to play some distressing roles in Hong Kong movies.

For example, the role played by Teacher Chen in Infernal Affairs, and the role played by another Teacher Chen in the Baby Project released last year... and the role Xu Zheng played in Zhiming and Chunjiao later...

What are those special things?

He felt somewhat relieved to think that he could bring such a change.

"Boss, we're home," Irving said, interrupting his reverie.
