I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Chapter 179 I Just Want to Play Football, It’s Okay to Win a Few Oscars
After reading this script, it takes more than 3 hours...

Annie's reading speed is not slow, but Gu Ran's speed is faster.

Annie said, "I mean, where is the ending of this script?"

"Oh! The ending..." Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, "I haven't had time to draw the last few pages yet."

Annie said coquettishly: "Gu! How can you learn broken chapters! I was reading it with great enthusiasm, but suddenly it disappeared. Oh, hurry up and draw, I really want to see it!"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Annie, it's too late today. I'm a little tired after the game, and we haven't cooked yet. Let's do it tomorrow."

In fact, being tired is indeed tiring, but the idea is enough to draw by hand, but Gu Ran's mind is not on the end of hand-drawing at all.

Annie quickly said: "I'm sorry Gu! I was too excited. I forgot that you played football all day today. Let's have a good rest after dinner tonight. You can finish the remaining pictures tomorrow."

Gu Ran said: "Well, no problem. By the way, Annie, you should know the great director Christopher Nolan, right?"

Annie immediately nodded excitedly and said, "I know him, I have his phone number and email address! Although we don't usually chat much, if I call him, he will definitely answer."

"That's good." Gu Ran said: "I plan to pass this manuscript to Director Nolan through you. "Batman" is the copyright of DC Corporation and Warner Corporation, and Nolan directed the first two parts of "Batman" Well, this is the third part I drew, and it can only be handed over to Nolan for filming—if he is willing to accept my script after reading it, then let him come and talk to me."

Scripts are different from novels. Novels are publicly disseminated on the platform, while scripts are not public, they are only used for filming by the crew.

Therefore, even without the authorization of DC Corporation, derivative creations can be made. Of course, derivative creations cannot be used for other commercial purposes, nor can they be publicized. They can only be handed over to DC Corporation for filming, otherwise, it will be an infringement.

DC Corporation and Director Nolan can also choose not to use it, but as long as they use even one character, plot or scene in Gu Ran's hand-painted script, they must pay for the script.

What's more, Gu Ran is very confident in his hand-drawn script - this script completely "coincides" with Nolan's conception, and Nolan will definitely not make things difficult for him.

Annie said excitedly: "Okay! Gu! I think so too! I think Nolan will be shocked and speechless after seeing your hand-painted script! I'll call him right away, first Scan the first half of the script manuscript and pass it to him!"

Annie didn't even care to put on her clothes, so she happily ran to the study to find a scanner with the manuscript in her arms.

Seeing that Annie was back to work as an actress, Gu Ran also heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.

While Annie was going to call Nolan, Gu Ran took a shower in the bathroom, and used the liquid nitrogen freezing space capsule and the sauna by the way.

After this set, my physical fitness has recovered a lot.

The greater the base of physical attributes and constitutional attributes, the higher the recovery effect will naturally be.

Although it is not in the best condition, it is still no problem to fight again at night.

A young body is good, a little bit of excitement can make you tireless...

After coming out of the bathroom, Gu Ran went to the kitchen and cooked a pot of quick-frozen dumplings.

At this time, he was too lazy to make a big meal by himself, and it would be delicious to make do with dumplings.

After the dumplings came out of the pan, Annie ran into the kitchen with a face full of excitement.

"Wow! It smells so good! Gu, your craftsmanship is really amazing!"

Gu Ran supported his forehead, "Stop praising Annie, sit down and eat."

"Yeah!" Annie said showing off while picking up a dumpling, "Look, haven't I made a lot of progress and am good at pinching?"

Gu Ran almost spit out the dumplings in his mouth, "...Yes, very good at it."

Annie happily sent the dumpling into her big mouth, "Gu, I called Nolan just now, but he was still in a meeting at the time, so I didn't say anything to him, I just told him there was a script I wanted him to read it, and he agreed. I scanned the manuscript you drew before and sent it to his mailbox in picture format. He should read it when he is busy. But big directors are usually very busy. Maybe I will watch it tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, or maybe a week... In short, if he hasn't replied to me tomorrow, I will urge him again."

Gu Ran smiled, "Annie, you have to worry."

Annie smiled and said: "This is the script you gave me, of course I have to worry about it! Now I really want to play the catwoman in it!"

——Sure enough, after getting a good script, Annie didn't mention staying and being an ordinary housewife anymore.

Annie ate a mouthful of dumplings, and said again: "By the way, Gu, how much do you plan to ask Warner for this script? In case Nolan negotiates a contract with you, do you want to find an agent to help you handle it? After all, you are in Hollywood You don't have any reputation yet, so it's hard to get a high script price, if you have a famous brand agent, you can get a higher script price for you."

Gu Ran said without thinking: "No need for Annie, my condition is very simple, I have already thought about it myself."

Annie smiled, "Okay—wow, the dumplings are so delicious! Gu you are so amazing! I love you so much!"

Gu Ran said helplessly: "Quick, cough, eat quickly..."

After the two finished their dinner, they walked hand in hand on the beach outside the villa.

The sky is dotted with stars, and the sea and the starry sky are mixed together.

With the cool sea breeze, Annie leaned against Gu Ran's strong arms, "Ah, this kind of life is so beautiful, I really want to stay here forever, stay in this moment forever."

Gu Ran put his arms around Annie and said deliberately: "If you really want to stay here, then let someone else play the role of Catwoman."

Annie immediately said: "No! Do you know how difficult it is for me to meet a good role? The role of Catwoman is tailor-made for me, and I must play it myself! No one can steal it!"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Okay, okay, we won't give it to others. And, in the future, when I have a new inspiration, I'll draw a literary script for you, the kind that can win the Oscar for Best Actress."

Annie hugged Gu Ran excitedly, "Gu...you are really kind to me. Tell me, what should I do to repay you?"

Gu Ran hugged Annie, and said affectionately: "Annie, I didn't do this for you to get you to repay me, if you have to say repayment... You are happy and not depressed, that is the greatest repayment to me."

These love words, which are not sweet words, made Annie's tears roll down.

Deep in love, Annie raised her swan-like neck, closed her eyes slightly, "Gu... kiss me, please."

The two hugged tightly under the starlight of the sea and sky, as beautiful as a romantic oil painting.

After a long time, Annie leaned into Gu Ran's arms and said softly, "Gu, I may be leaving here soon...you won't forget me, will you?"

Gu Ran said seriously: "Why? Annie, I will miss every bit of you, every drop."

Annie chuckled, "...I hate it! You're talking nonsense again."

shit...

I'm serious!
It's obvious you're the one who's being coquettish...

Gu Ran cleared his throat and said, "In short, Annie, what I want to tell you is that everyone's dreams should not be sacrificed for others. Annie, I don't want you to sacrifice for me, and I don't want you to be my vassal either. I want to see you back in Hollywood, I hope you can win an Oscar. Then... I will be the man who won an Oscar."

That's right!

I just want to play football, but I don't have the energy to act in a movie and become an Oscar winner. However, it should be no problem to win a few Oscar queens.

Annie's eyes were full of starlight, "Okay! Gu! From now on, I have a goal to strive for! I will work hard to act and film, and strive to become an Oscar queen! Because this will not only realize my own dream, but also your dream. I will definitely make you the man who won the Oscar queen!"

Gu Ran dotingly smiled and said: "That's right. Let's go, the future actress, it's getting late, let's go back to bed."

Annie blushed, "...Are you still here? Didn't you say you were tired?"

Gu Ran frowned, "You haven't paid off the sins you have done! How can I be tired!"

Annie hangs on Gu Ran's neck coquettishly, her peach eyes are pure and lustful, her voice is tender and sweet, "No, take a good rest tonight, tomorrow you have to paint."

shit...

I can't stand it anymore!
Gu Ran hugged Annie, "Tomorrow I will draw the hand, and tonight I will moisten the pen first!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Ran carried Annie back to the villa directly.

The waves outside the villa were churning, and the floor-to-ceiling glass was wiped over and over again...

at the same time.

Warner Bros. filming base in Burbank, California, USA.

The great director Christopher Nolan, dragging his tired body, returned to his temporary residence at this shooting base.

He just had a meeting with several senior executives of Warner Bros. to discuss the continuation of "Batman 3", and now his mind is full of muddle.

It has been less than half a year since filming such a brain-burning masterpiece as "Inception", and it is time to restart the "Batman" trilogy. This kind of work intensity makes Nolan feel a little out of breath.

For the continuation of the "Batman" series, Nolan is very opposed to it in his heart.

"Batman 2" is Nolan's most satisfying work, especially after the Joker plot, Nolan really can't think of any useful plot that can surpass "Batman 2".

However, the box office results of "Batman 2" are so good that both DC and Warner have made a lot of money, and fans are also looking forward to the release of the third film.

In this case, Nolan had to bite the bullet and agree to continue filming "Batman 3".

"Batman 3" was established as a matter of course, and the executives also promised to give Nolan greater filming rights and box office revenue, but Nolan was really not excited at all.

Now he only has a rough outline of the plot in his mind, but not even a single detail.

What's more troublesome is that he has no inspiration at all, and he has no idea where to start.

Creation itself is a very painful thing.

Especially after creating two sufficiently classic previous works, it is very difficult to break through to a new artistic height and surpass one's own peak.

headache...

pain...

It would be great if there was a ready-made script.

It's a pity... In this world, there is no screenwriter who can synchronize with my thought frequency.

Nolan sighed heavily, sat down on the sofa, and poured an effervescent aspirin tablet into his water glass.

After slumping on the sofa for a while, Nolan suddenly remembered that Anne Hathaway had called during a meeting with Warner executives just now, saying that she had a hand-drawn script and wanted him to read it.

...a hand-drawn script?
Most of the screenwriters in Hollywood are text-based screenwriters, and very few of them can draw by hand.

After all, hand-painted scripts are for storyboarding, and storyboarding is a test of the director's ability.

Nolan couldn't help but twitched his lips: What good script could Anne Hathaway have?

Bacheng is a rubbish emotional drama, right?

Forget it, the other party is Anne Hathaway anyway, so I still have to give face.

Then simply take a look.

Nolan sighed, took his laptop, and opened his e-mail.

Sure enough, there was a letter from "Anne Hathaway" in the mailbox.

Nolan casually clicked on the attachment in the email...

In the next second, Nolan froze!
He saw that the name of this hand-drawn script turned out to be: "Batman 3: The Dark Knight Rises"! ! !
This is this...

Nolan opened his mouth wide in horror:

Could it be that I... have entered my own Inception, right?
I must be dreaming, right?

I must have gotten this script in a dream!

Nolan rubbed his eyes——

It really is the script of "Batman 3"!

Oh, God!
Nolan turned to the first page with excitement.

Dedicated to...

Nolan turned directly to the second page.

Immediately afterwards, Nolan took a deep breath!

This composition!This perspective!The light!This stroke!And the detailing of the characters!This plot structure!
Whose handwriting is this?Why does it feel like I drew it myself? !

Could it be that I have time-traveled by myself, quantum entanglement, or that the future me has drawn a hand-drawn script for the past me that I need now? ? ?

Nolan read the hand-drawn script of "Batman 3: The Dark Knight Rises" to the last page in one breath.

After reading it, Nolan took a deep breath, took out a spinning top, and turned it on the table.

It wasn't until the spinning top stopped that Nolan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is not a dream!"

"I'm not dreaming!"

"My God! This is a ready-made script that can be directly used for shooting!"

"This playwright is almost in sync with my thinking, even a little ahead of me!"

"Who is he? Who is he!!!"

Nolan excitedly turned to the first page, and finally saw a signature under the words "To":
Gu Ran.

Nolan was stunned, "Who is Gu Ran? I've never heard of it before! But his hand-painting is really good! No, I need to contact him right away! This script is still short of the final ending, I want to read it tonight To! I want to know what he thinks, how he creates a script that is at the same high frequency as mine!"

Nolan couldn't wait to grab the phone and dial Annie's mobile number.

The phone was hung up after a few busy tones, and then, Anne Hathaway's recorded voice came from the phone: "Sorry, it's not convenient for me to answer your call right now, please leave a message or call later .When I see it, I will reply to you as soon as possible. Beep—”

Nolan hurriedly said: "Hi Annie! I just finished reading the hand-drawn script you sent. God, this script is very good. It's exactly what I want! Listen, I have a lot of questions I want to ask you, please After hearing my message, reply to me immediately, thank you!"

After sending the message, Nolan excitedly read the hand-drawn script carefully.

This time, he saw many details.

The more Nolan watched, the more he was amazed, "This playwright is so amazing, I really feel that he is another me! This must be quantum entanglement! It must be quantum entanglement!"

Nolan looked at the time and saw that more than half an hour had passed, but Annie still didn't reply.

Nolan couldn't bear to call Annie again.

This time, after two rings, he was hung up, and then there was a message prompt of "not available".

Nolan quickly said to the phone: "Annie, please, call me back quickly! I really want to know everything about that playwright named Gu Ran! I still want to read the end of the last few pages! Please hurry up!" Reply to me, or I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Nolan read the hand-drawn script again, and gained a deeper understanding. He has even figured out how to complete these shots and how to edit them!
Now I'm waiting to communicate with the "playwright" Gu Ran!

Nolan shook his legs eagerly, waiting for Annie's call.

After another hour, Nolan couldn't bear it anymore and called Annie for the third time.

But this time, Annie turned off the phone directly!

Nolan was about to go crazy: "Annie! What are you doing?"

……

the other side.

On the vast sea of ​​the English Channel, a brand new luxury yacht is having a midnight carnival.

A dozen young beauties in bikinis danced happily to the dynamic music.

Old Les and Greg held whiskey in their hands, happily sitting on the deck and drinking.

"Cheers! Old Rice! Thank you for everything you arranged today! I am very satisfied!" Greg drank the whiskey in his glass.

Old Rice also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Greg, thank you for coming today, today is really a happy day!"

Greg put down his glass, "Okay, we ate and drank, played and played, and the beauties watched, and everything was fine except that we didn't catch any fish. Then next... If you didn't If it's anything else, I'm going to go back to sleep."

Old Rice smiled, "Greg, I do have something I want to talk to you about."

"Hahaha! I knew it!" Greg smiled triumphantly: "You said not to mention the labor certification, but you still have to mention it in the end."

Old Rice pointed to his watch, "First of all, it's past 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and secondly, what I'm going to tell you is really not about labor certification, but about you."

Greg asked in surprise, "Oh? About me? What's the matter?"

Old Rice shook the remaining whiskey in the glass, and said in Greg's slow tone: "David Bernstein should retire..."

Greg's expression tightened immediately, he stood up and said, "It's too windy here, it's not a place to talk, let's talk in the cabin."

Old Rice smiled and said, "Of course."

The two walked into the inner cabin one after the other, and closed the door behind them.

Greg frowned and asked, "Old Rice, what do you mean?"

Old Rice smiled and said: "Greg, you should know that David Bernstein is the current chairman of the FA. If he retires, the new chairman of the FA will be born among our five veterans. Here No one else, and I don't treat you as an outsider, so I'll just say it straight Greg, we're good friends, and I think you're absolutely capable of being the new FA chairman - when Bernstein retires, I would like to give you my vote to help you become the chairman of the FA."

After Greg finished listening, he remained calm on the surface, but his heart was already churning like a sea!

Chairman of the FA...

This is exactly Greg's dream position!
He had guessed that Old Rice wanted beautiful women and good wine to get him to agree to a labor permit, but he never expected that Old Rice would exchange his high position as the chairman of the FA with him!

Old Les really spent a lot of money!

And that kid Gu Ran... is indeed worthy of Old Rice's actions.

Greg cleared his throat, "Old Les, you shouldn't have said these things to me, it's less procedural than we were discussing labor certification in private. But, I have to say, I was very touched by your words. I Thank you for your evaluation of me, you are my good friend. As for our conversation today, just treat it as never happened. Don’t worry, I will definitely treat your labor certification issues fairly. "

As he spoke, Greg took the initiative to shake hands with Old Rice.

Among the bosses, there is no need to speak so clearly, everyone understands.

If you can shake hands, it means the deal is done.

Old Rice smiled happily, and shook Greg's hand vigorously, "As I said before, Greg, you are a very capable person."

The two big men smiled at each other in the small cabin.
