Chapter 537 "Interstellar"
"This movie is controlled by Warner. It is a story about a future world where the earth is withering and astronauts find a new home through wormholes, and the method is through space wormholes. Achieving an interstellar jump.”
In the coffee shop, Nolan looked very energetic when talking about the movie he was preparing.
"Sorry, Lin. I can only say so much. The script is confidential, but it is really exciting. Full of fateful paradoxes and causal loops of time travel."
Lin Nan He smiled and nodded, "Of course, this kind of project must be kept secret."
"Let's talk about the issues he is more concerned about, haha..." Leonardo joked from the side.
"Yes, Director Christopher, what do you think of my idea? I know there must be female characters in it."
Lin Nan didn't hide it, and just asked casually. come out.
“There are two female characters, and they are both important. One is the hero’s daughter, who has three stages, childhood, adulthood, and old age;
The other is the hero’s colleague, It is also equivalent to the female lead, set to be the daughter of an old professor, but..."
Nolan stopped mid-sentence and glanced at the two people beside him.
Although science fiction films do not have high requirements for acting skills, skin color is an issue.
Lin Nan and Xiao Lizi also realized this.
"The role of the professor's daughter can be changed. The biological daughter can be changed to an adopted daughter, so that the movie will be very equal and can avoid many real-life problems."
Leonardo drank Coffee, snatched Lin Nan's words.
For this assist, Lin Nan decisively gave Li Zi a thumbs up.
Nolan nodded slightly and glanced at Lin Nan:
"It is indeed possible, but I can't give you a definite answer right now. Lin, come to Warner tomorrow, I will I also want to audition.”
“I wish I could have it.” Lin Nan agreed immediately.
He could hear that Nolan would give him this favor.
As for Warner, Lin Nan has to go there, and it will most likely be just a formality, but this is the most basic respect and cannot be less.
The atmosphere at tonight’s gathering was very good, and Nolan talked a lot.
"The name of the movie has already been decided, it will be called "Interstellar". And its production budget is similar to that of "Inception", about 170 million US dollars."
Listen Lin Nan felt completely at ease when he heard this name.
A Hollywood A-level big-budget science fiction movie!
Lin Nan is bound to win tomorrow's trip to Warner.
…………
Every time Lin Nan flies to Hollywood, he will become the focus of the domestic media, and this time is no exception.
"In the evening of Hollywood time, Director Lin Nan, Director Nolan and Leonardo attended a cocktail party and then gathered in a coffee shop."
"Director Lin Nan's trip to Hollywood , we do not rule out having jobs other than "The Invisible Guest"..."
The attention of the domestic film industry was immediately attracted.
If it were anyone else, it might just be a gathering and chatting between friends, although the coffee tables of these friends are a bit ridiculous.
But Lin Nan is different. This guy always makes trouble and shocks everyone from time to time.
......
Lin Nan found the feeling of lying on the bed and talking on the phone with Liu Yifei very interesting.
With Miss Liu's schedule, she could ignore the time difference and give people the feeling that she and Lin Nan were talking on the phone before going to bed.
Lin Nan was very sleepy, while Miss Liu didn't wake up. The two of them talked on the phone hesitatingly, and finally fell asleep.
Early in the morning, Lin Nan started to wash up. After breakfast, he went directly to Warner with his assistant.
"Interstellar" is an invitation-only audition, not an open audition, and the confidentiality work is very good.
But I guess it won’t be kept secret for a few days, because the casting process is already underway, and it should be announced in the next few days.
"Lin, welcome to Warner."
Lin Nan has collaborated with Warner on two blockbusters, one is "Inception" and the other is "Pacific Rim".
That’s why he is confident, he is just going through the motions today.
"Thank you, long time no see."
Lin Nan hugged him, and the middle-aged man with a beard in front of him was also the person in charge of Warner's "Pacific Rim".
"Nolan is auditioning on the sixth floor, shall I take you there?"
"Okay." Lin Nan nodded.
"Lin, Nolan said you want the female lead in "Interstellar"?"
In the elevator, the other person smiled and suddenly said something.
Lin Nan did not deny it, "Yes, I wonder what Warner means?"
"Of course there is no problem, we are partners."
The other party said firmly, giving Lin Nan a feeling of "buying horse bones for a thousand gold", as if the role was completely trivial.
“Thank you.”
Lin Nan thanked him simply. It seems that Nolan has already been angry with Warner before.
Sixth floor.
Many actors noticed the Warner producers and Lin Nan approaching.
"Lin?"
"Jessica!"
Lin Nan was not surprised at all to see Jessica Chastain here.
After all, this is Nolan’s new movie, and no actor with any reputation would refuse.
In Hollywood, Christopher Nolan's movies represent the box office.
He is the most outstanding director in Hollywood who can perfectly combine commercial elements and artistic elements.
"I'm here to audition, what are you doing?"
"Audition for you. Haha, just kidding, Director Nolan invited me here."
Lin Nan Joking, Jessica and many of the actors around her looked relaxed instantly.
"I'll go in first, see you later."
"Okay, Lin."
In a small conference room, there were only Nolan and his assistant, and An actress auditioning.
In less than five minutes, it was over. The person who came out met Lin Nan.
"Hello, Lin."
"Hello, Annie."
Lin Nan walked in, and Nolan also paused the audition.
"Let Crystal be ready to join the team at any time. My five hundred acres of corn will be fully mature in three months. Before it matures, it must be turned on."
Nolan Looking at Lin Nan walking in, he made a joke.
"No problem."
"If it weren't for Crystal, then this role would have been given to Annie who just went out.
In addition, Leon's suggestion was great. In the script, this role was changed to an adopted daughter. , the choice of Asians is perfect!”
Before Lin Nan could speak, Nolan continued to add: “Can you decide her salary?”
“Yes”
<. br>
"Then 5 million dollars."
When Nolan said this, he glanced at the producer who came in with Lin Nan, who spread his hands and said: "It's very reasonable."
This salary is what Liu Yifei was quoted for foreign language films after the release of "The Genius" last year.
Without a few minutes of delay, the audition continued.
Lin Nan's words came true, and Nolan actually pulled him into a strong position and started to attack him.
But Director Lin Da, who had just secured the role for Ms. Liu, was not angry at all and was in a good mood.
“I think Jessica is very good.”
Under Jessica Chastain’s astonished gaze, Lin Nan said with a smile. Nolan also nodded without refuting.
…………
It lasted two days. Nolan’s audition was still going on, but Lin Nan was preparing to return to China.
At this time, Warner finally disclosed the "Interstellar" project to the outside world.
Before Lin Nan even boarded the plane back to China, word had already spread in China.
"Hollywood film giant, Warner Pictures announced that the new film "Interstellar" directed by Christopher Nolan has been officially approved, casting is already under way, and will start production within the year."
" It is reported that "Interstellar" has an investment of up to 170 million US dollars and is completely based on the black hole theory of physicists. It is a top-notch science fiction movie in Hollywood. "
……
The domestic film and television circles eagerly watched the news coming from the other side of the ocean.
The film production industry can only sigh, it cannot do this kind of thing.
The investment is usually 160 million or 170 million US dollars. Convert it to 1 billion yuan!
There are only three domestic films that have grossed over a billion dollars. Who in China can afford them?
Countless actors are paying attention to this news, but they don’t have much emotion. After all, they are too far away and no one has a share.
But as luck would have it, another piece of news also came back.
"Hollywood movie information: Chinese Golden Lion director Lin Nan spent two days in and out of Warner Pictures, assisting director Nolan and participating in casting auditions..."
This news has made the film industry It exploded all of a sudden.
A large number of filmmakers have only one thought in their minds: They know that Lin Nan won’t run over there if nothing happens!
The film and television industry has become noisy and extremely lively.
"Has Director Lin Nan participated in the casting? Are there any opportunities for domestic actors?"
"According to the news, Director Lin is not among the investors. He should just join in the fun and help, right?"
< br>"Yifei, Producer Liu, what on earth did your director Lin do?"
Actors and entertainers who are familiar with each other in the industry are all posting on Weibo about Ms. Liu.
Many people even sent text messages to tease her, asking Ms. Liu to give some inside information in advance.
Liu Yifei was also confused at the moment.
She posted on Weibo: "He just said it was about "The Invisible Guest" and nothing else."
Zhou Xun wanted to join in the fun on the set, Aite Liu Yifei:
“Quickly, find your Lin Nan and ask him to find a role for my sister. It’s a big production worth 170 million U.S. dollars.”
“Brother Xun, can you pull me down? Yes. If there is a female role, it should be given to Yifei." Huang Xiaoming was holding his cell phone on the set of "The Taiping Wheel" and laughing.
"The phone is turned off and the text messages are not answered. He should be on the plane now."
......
The production companies in the circle are all inquiring about the news. When they learned about this " When the producer of "Interstellar" really had nothing to do with Lin Nan, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I am afraid that Lin Nan will quietly make another "Inception" or "Pacific Rim", which will really leave no way for everyone to survive.
It’s just a pity that China Film, Guangwang, Wanda, and even Shanghai Film Group.
Countless people in the film and television industry focused their attention on Lin Nan, wondering if Lin Nan had brought "something" back.
Liu Yifei was sitting at home, feeling like a cat was scratching her heart. Many people were asking her, but Lin Nan couldn't get in touch with her at all.
Suddenly, she thought of something.
"A gift? He said that if everything goes well, he will bring me a gift? What kind of gift can I bring back if everything goes well?"
Liu Yifei's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the next second she changed. He must be a little arrogant: "Humph, you still play riddles for me. When you come back, you will be dead..."
.........
"Interstellar, US$170 million..."
Many actors still have this movie information reported by the media lingering in their minds.
It would be fine without the news about Lin Nan, but that news made countless actors unable to calm down.
Maybe? if? What if? !
In the eyes of many people, Lin Nan has a girlfriend, and may even be talking about marriage.
If there is a suitable role, he will definitely help Liu Yifei get it! Will it be a little more?
“Why do you think so much? Among actresses born in 1985, she is the only one.
Even if Director Lin brings a role back, it will be Liu Yifei or other actors from Lin Nan Pictures ”
All the actors who had any expectations, especially the A-list actresses, were shocked by similar words.
