Best Movie Star

On the way back in the car, Helen Herman looked at the script, which was like a draft, and fell into thinking. Her comprehension of words was far better than Matthew's. - The situation of Nolan's interview gradually came to his own judgment.

"What do you think?" Matthew asked.

Helen Herman shook her head slightly, "This idea looks very good, and it's actually similar to what the Wachowskis did in the two sequels of The Matrix." She thought for a moment and said, "It's a mystery!"

Matthew didn't expect Helen Herman to say this, glanced at her, and asked again, "Is it as bad as you say?"

"I'm very surprised that you don't like the inscrutable stories of the Wachowskis..." Helen Herman asked instead, "Why do you like..."

She pointed to the draft script, "This poisonous project?"

"Poisonous?" Matthew asked again.

Helen-Hellman reminded, "You forgot? You once told me that overly complicated and obscure plots and philosophical speculations, as well as deliberately added depth and thinking, are the weapons that kill commercial movies, and we also Never take a job like this."

Matthew couldn't help being stunned for a while. When he discussed with Helen Herman before, he did say something like this. Hollywood commercial films, which are really popular all over the world, are undoubtedly easy to understand.

That's what critics call vulgar work.

For a while, he didn't know how to explain it.

Ninety-nine percent of the time, complicated and incomprehensible movies won't become a hit...

Thinking of this, Matthew suddenly remembered one thing. Christopher Nolan's movies that he watched on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, from the "Batman" trilogy to the following ones, are not complicated and difficult to understand, even "Pirates". "Dream Space" can be easily understood. He doesn't know the independent films produced by Christopher Nolan, nor has he seen them, but the commercial blockbusters that follow seem to meet the consistent requirements of Hollywood commercial films.

It seems that when he downloaded "Inception" at that time, he read a sentence on the resource website, Christopher Nolan's film is not complicated, and it also reflects the consistent theme of Hollywood. Momentum is over-interpreted.

Thinking about some of the fans who came to Hollywood and met, many die-hard supporters, such as Phyllis Beretta, are completely irrational towards those they support.

From an ordinary person's point of view, a girl in her twenties is chasing a star to run around the world. Isn't this sick or what?

Of course, this kind of thought will only stay in his head forever, and he will not say it.

It is recognized in the industry that classic films such as "2001: A Space Odyssey", "The Godfather", "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Matrix" have been over-interpreted by fans who like them. Well, the opinions expressed are definitely more than a hundred times more than what the directors, writers and producers had in mind when they conceived the film.

Due to the relationship between the "Dark Knight" crew and him last year, he also paid attention to Christopher Nolan's films, and also took time to watch "War Hour" and "Deadly Magic", and read related fan reviews on IMDB , Christopher Nolan and his films have undoubtedly had a tendency to be over-interpreted on a large scale.

Now Christopher Nolan fans are relatively low-key, but when "The Dark Knight" is released, everything will be different.

There is still a little impression that no fan of any director can be as crazy as the fans of Christopher Nolan.

"It's just the script." Matthew shrugged and said, "Helen, have you seen a few recent Christopher Nolan movies?"

Helen Herman then replied, "I only watched Memento, and then completely lost interest in him, which is one reason why I advise you not to pick up the Joker."

Matthew reminded, "Is The Dark Knight difficult to understand today?"

"Uh..." Helen Herman was stunned by his question, and then reacted, "It's easy to understand, and it's completely different from the type and style of Memento."

"I've seen 'War Hour' and 'Deadly Magic'," Matthew said slowly. "The two films are equally easy to understand. Christopher Nolan and the Wachowskis are completely different directors."

In his opinion, since entering the commercial film circle, Nolan himself has not made any mystery in the film, but too many brainless fans have to over-interpret it, which makes the Nolan film in their eyes obscure and difficult to understand.

These fans definitely think a lot more than Christopher Nolan.

"As a commercial film director, Christopher Nolan will not target the high and the low in any way, so the films he makes are still close to the people in the final analysis - that is, easy to understand."

Matthew said to Helen Herman, "In fact, even a person with limited artistic training like me does not feel that any of Christopher Nolan's commercial works is obscure, which is one of the great advantages of Nolan's films. It’s just that there are fewer flaws in logic, so the various plot twists and changes in the film can basically give sufficient foreshadowing and explanation, and it is almost not difficult to understand.”

He said slowly, "Helen, you only need to look at a few of Nolan's commercial films and you will find that his works are actually quite vulgar."

Helen-Hellman can understand Matthew's words. In the mouths of the two of them, this so-called vulgarity has always been a positive word, not a negative one.

The premise of a successful big-budget commercial is vulgarity.

"I'll have a look back," Helen Herman said.

Matthew nodded, "Christopher Nolan is good at putting a gorgeous coat on an ordinary story, but it can't change its vulgar nature, plus the quality of his works is guaranteed... Therefore, his commercial films have a good reputation. "

In fact, in the eyes of professional film critics, Christopher Nolan's situation is similar to him, and he is not very popular with professional film critics.

After all, those film critics who think they are artistically noble, look down on these vulgar film practitioners.

Having said that, if it weren't for these vulgar people, the film industry would not have become the entertainment industry that can affect the world today.

Maybe they have been killed in the competition with TV long ago, and like European literary films, they have been completely marginalized among the public.

Although Christopher Nolan is completely different from Michael Bay, it seems inappropriate to compare him with Michael Bay, but Matthew has seen most of Christopher Nolan's commercial films and feels that his works with Michael Bay are still the same. What they have in common are the factors that commercial films must have - easy to understand and close to the people!

For example, I have seen "Interstellar". This film is dressed in a sci-fi coat, and has done enough in scientific theory and technical details. However, its core is just to promote "love", which has long been known in Hollywood. It's a topic that can't be more vulgar.

Anyway, a commercial film can make the vast majority of the audience watch it interesting and are willing to buy tickets.

Helen Herman returned the draft script to Matthew and asked, "Are you going to take this film?"

Matthew nodded lightly and said, "The production budget of this film is more than 150 million US dollars. In the style of Warner Bros., it will not take such a high investment to let Christopher Nolan come here."

"It makes sense." Helen Herman has dealt with Warner Bros. management a lot and knows this.

"There is another benefit to taking this film." Matthew continued, "It allows us to keep working with Warner Bros. We can't be like Tom Cruise and Paramount Pictures, just put the future with Disney. tied together?"

Helen Herman gave a rare smile, "You are thinking more and more comprehensively."

Matthew also smiled, "With competition, our interests can be maximized."

Most of Hollywood's top stars will not only cooperate with one film company, as he did before, more flowering is the best choice.

Besides, it is also a good thing for a star actor like him to establish a good cooperative relationship with a director who has been consecrated by many fans after "The Dark Knight"~www.readwn.com~ has a strong appeal in itself.

Back at Angel Agency, Matthew got a piece of good news. Disney Studios had already paid for the later stages of "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End". He asked the accountant to contact the "Twilight" crew and report to the crew as soon as possible. Funding is injected into the account guaranteed by a third party to stabilize the military heart of the entire crew.

During filming, as an investor, no amount of promises made is more useful than money.

If you don't have money, what kind of movies can you make?

Maybe it was because Sofia Coppola and Sean Daniel had no worries after the last $20 million arrived, or maybe the filming of this film was really much less difficult. The "Twilight" crew was in the studio. The shooting of the film went very smoothly, and in just ten days, the shooting of the interior scenes ended.

In early March, Sofia Coppola and Sean Daniel led the crew to a small town in the Portland area to continue filming on location.

Matthew didn't go there. Sean Daniel is a serious and responsible producer, and it's enough to have him there, and he will stay in Los Angeles to make final preparations for "Fast and Furious 4".

Firearms, driving, fighting, rehearsals... These all have to be done in advance. Justin Lin is not that kind of on-the-spot director. Most of the difficult scenes require certain rehearsals in advance.

Rehearsals can lead to templating, but that's never a problem in commercial movies, and movies like "Fast and the Furious" are built to be streamlined from a successful template.

In mid-March, the film officially started shooting in the studio.
