Best Movie Star

In a large conference room in the Warner Building, thick black curtains blocked the sunlight outside the window. The room was dark, and on the white curtain hanging in the darkness, the picture was also pitch black, like thick ink.

Batman absconded in the dark, took all the darkness, and wanted to leave the light to Gotham.

Commissioner Gordon issues a Batman manhunt, smashes the bat signal, and gives Batman the title of Dark Knight...

Since the film has not yet added the opening credits, the preview has ended.

The small cameras were closed, the curtains were drawn, and more than two dozen spectators, including Matthew, Helen Herman, Charles Rowan, Akiva Goldsman and a bunch of Warner Bros executives, turned their heads Look at Christopher Nolan, then applaud.

This "Dark Knight" is 90% complete, but it does not prevent it from being a wonderful movie that can shock people.

If Matthew is to say, "The Dark Knight" is completely different from all the previous comic superhero movies.

After the applause stopped, Helen Herman whispered to Matthew, "This film is no less than the Wachowski Brothers' The Matrix."

Matthew nodded lightly and said in a pretentious manner, "The Joker has said everything he should and shouldn't say, and Batman has done everything he should and shouldn't do. Life is a choice, and the era of heroes is over. ."

Soon, the staff of Warner Bros. sent out opinions one after another, which is also common in test screenings.

The purpose of the test screening is to minimize the film's problems or touch the sensitive nerves of the market.

Matthew only wrote one sentence on the opinion sheet - so good that not a second was wasted!

In fact, he can't make any comments. Except for some lines that look awkward, there is really nothing wrong with this film. Christopher Nolan is quite powerful, and even comic superhero movies can be made like this.

Think about the few Christopher Nolan movies I've seen before, and let's not talk about other aspects, he is undoubtedly many times better than the Wachowskis, who are also famous in this area, in terms of the balance between art and business. .

At the end of the preview, everyone dispersed, but Christopher Nolan stopped Matthew and wanted to chat with him alone.

Since Christopher Nolan politely sent the people who participated in the screening away, Matthew waited for him for a few minutes, and then went to the adjacent reception room together.

"It's so good that it didn't waste a second..." Christopher Nolan said politely in the reception room, "Matthew, you are too honorable."

Matthew smiled and said, "This Dark Knight is a great work."

Christopher Nolan didn't expect Matthew to say this at all. He was a little embarrassed, "I just want to make an unconventional superhero movie." Then he asked directly, "Why do you say that?"

He also wanted to know why this work, which has not yet been released, was called great by people like Matthew.

Matthew said without hesitation, "The great thing about it is that it can convey an idea to people, especially those who look down on commercial films."

"Oh?" Christopher Nolan didn't understand what Matthew meant at all, so he had to ask, "Why?"

Matthew is also testing Christopher Nolan's idea in this way, "Instead of fighting in literary films, it is better to raise the level of commercial films like "The Dark Knight"."

Christopher Nolan couldn't help laughing, "Many of my movie ideas must be supported by strong funds."

"Warner Bros. is a good investor." Matthew also said with a smile, "Have you been working with Warner Bros.?"

"Warner Bros. has always wanted to work with you," Christopher Nolan said.

The two said a few words about Warner Bros., and stopped going around in circles. Christopher Nolan said directly, "I ask Charles Rowan to send the script, I don't know if you have read it."

Matthew nodded lightly, "I've read it." He thought about it for a while, and then said, "The script is a bit messy, complicated and ambiguous, which is the biggest feeling I have after reading the script."

"This is just the initial version." Christopher Nolan said calmly, "My brother Jonathan has heard my oral thoughts and wrote a rough script. Because of some unexpected situations, we haven't had time to organize them in detail, so they sent it to me. into your hands."

"Sudden situation?" Matthew keenly captured the key.

Christopher Nolan explained, "Your schedule is very full, you are going to shoot and make two films, and Paramount Pictures is planning to invite you to appear in their new film. The work in the next two years will definitely be very tight, so I want to tell you in advance. Say hello, lest we encounter schedule conflicts if we cooperate."

Matthew immediately asked, "When do you plan to shoot and release this film?"

"Filming starts next summer." Christopher Nolan apparently has plans. "It will be released in the summer of 2010."

"There should be no problem with time." Matthew nodded again, then looked at Christopher Nolan, and asked, "I'm not very literate, the script is messy, and I haven't sorted it out yet, can you be specific? Talk about this project?"

Although he saw some familiar shadows, he wanted to be sure that this was the film he had seen before.

When it comes to cooperation at the level of Matthew and Christopher Nolan, both parties must have enough sincerity. Matthew has already expressed his intention to cooperate.

Christopher Nolan also knew that the script that was hurriedly faxed to Los Angeles and handed over by Charles Rowan was a bit messy. After thinking for a while, he said, "The main body and plot of this project is an elusive dream."

He smiled and said again, "The script I gave you, the things I want to express in it are questions that I have been thinking about since I was sixteen. I have already completed the rough idea seven or eight years ago, but The story goes much further than I imagined by then, and it touches on the relationship between the real dream and the half-awake state."

Matthew nodded lightly, without interrupting.

"I always have a lot of weird thoughts, and I always wake up naturally in the middle of the night, and then I go into a light sleep state, where I often think I'm dreaming." Christopher Nolan further said, "After that , more strange feelings will follow, and I can also use memory to separate the stories in the dream."

Matthew said in a playful tone at this time, "I feel the same way, sometimes..." He pointed around, "I thought it was a dream now, and everything about Matthew Horner in Hollywood is a wonderful dream."

Christopher Nolan smiled and added, "Indeed, Hollywood is a dream, and people who are trapped in it don't want to wake up."

He then went back to the topic, "The human brain can accommodate all real-world scenarios, and I haven't touched the limit of this behavior in my research. It's like walking on a beach, you can look around and grab A handful of fine sand on the beach. I tried to test this by manipulating 'lucid dreams', and my script was based on these common and relatively simple truths. So my assumption is that technology allows people to invade other people's brains, and share the same dream with another person at the same time."

In the end, what Christopher Nolan said, Matthew also saw it from the script.

"After having Charles Rowan hand over the script to you, I have new ideas for this film." Christopher Nolan continued, "Before this, I was planning to shoot a stealing film and let the protagonist pass Dreams come to invade the unsuspecting and steal his thoughts."

He said slowly, "But a good director should have higher pursuits. What I've always been interested in is penetrating a person's psychology layer by layer. If it's just taking something from there, it's really not attractive enough."

Matthew said honestly, "I think it's a good idea."

Christopher Nolan shook his head slightly and said the latest idea, "So, I created a bigger goal for myself, and the new task of the male protagonist in my vision is to put an idea in other people's minds, and one in the other's mind. An idea that they would normally resist, but through their planning, it takes root and eventually makes the target person act according to their employer's needs."

Hearing this, Matthew remained calm, and gradually became certain in his heart~www.readwn.com~ This should be the movie called "Inception".

Isn't that movie about Leonardo DiCaprio contracting someone else, running into someone else's dream to implant an idea and asking them to dissolve their company?

If it was this film, Christopher Nolan's project could be followed.

"You need to put something in one's consciousness and let it grow in a certain way, and you have to foresee how it will grow in a chaotic way..."

Christopher Nolan's words continued, "Of course, there are still many problems in the story and script that need to be solved. For example, the dream must be designed to be both visually and emotionally real, so that the dreamer is in the dream without knowing it. It's just a dream. In that subconscious state, one's deepest, most precious secrets are visible."

Matthew nodded slowly, and then said extremely seriously, "This is a genius idea."

"So..." Christopher Nolan said again, "I want to invite you to join in and turn this idea into a great movie."

Matthew's honest nonsense, "I like the idea." He thought for a moment, then added, "Christopher, I can't promise you anything without the agent, but I really like what you're saying."

Christopher Nolan, of course, knows some of the rules in the circle and said, "When I finish the finishing work of "The Dark Knight", I will transfer to this project. After the new version of the script is completed, I will send it to you."

"When will your crew be established?" Matthew also showed sincerity, "I will notify the agent to contact you."

The two sides reached an agreement in this interview, and then left the reception room talking and laughing.
