Chapter 1455

"Trump card?" Lanli knows Andy. If he doesn't, he's already a blockbuster. So far, their cooperative relationship has always maintained a harmonious and happy, because the two people for the balance of business and art, has been walking in the rhythm of the relative fit, so, can be Andy called the mace, must be worth looking forward to.

Andy didn't show off intentionally, but only said a name, but the expectation and curiosity leaked out had overflowed, "Christopher Nolan."

Each era has its own cultural brand, and each generation has its own classic worship. Among these cultures, some have withstood the scour and tempering of time and become true classics, which are widely spread; Some regret to be mediocre in the occasion of time, but it has become a unique memory of that generation.

The former is like "Star Wars" series, and the latter is like "growing pains".

It can be said that Christopher Nolan is one of the cultural symbols of film in the 21st century. From his first novel "following", to the mature style of "memory fragments" and "chasing the murderer at night", to the well-known "Batman" trilogy, and then to the altar of "fatal magic" and "Inception", Later, there were "Star Trek" and "Dunkirk" self breakthroughs... One step at a time. Along the way, Christopher was solid and steady.

In less than 20 years, Christopher has had countless fans all over the world, and some people even think that he is the greatest director of our time.

Of course, such adjectives as "the greatest" tend to irritate other senior fans, and even lead to countless loyal fans who hate Christopher because of this, because "the greatest" is an issue with numerous controversies. It is obviously too early to discuss it now, only after the precipitation and erosion of time, only after the test and tempering of years, Excellent talents make classics, top talents make greatness.

There is no doubt that it is worth discussing whether Christopher can be a God; But there is no doubt about whether Christopher has become a cultural phenomenon. For the audience of this generation, the impact and influence of Batman: Dark Knight and inception are immeasurable.

Lanli is no exception.

In fact, in Christopher's works, the director's style covers everything. Even actors like Christian bell and Leonardo DiCaprio, they just leave a stylized outline in the film, and all the other highlights fall on the director——

Heath Ledger's clown is a special case. The role is a special case, the story is a special case, and the actor is also a special case. The three special cases just collided together, which created the most classic villain image in the history of film, which has little direct relationship with Christopher himself.

In the process of shooting, Christopher's habit is to set the frame and context of the role in advance, to make sure that the role can be integrated with the story, lens and picture, and to leave other acting work to the actors themselves, but he doesn't need the extra play of the actors. It's just like drawing a dungeon. It's just enough to be properly confined to the circle.

Objectively speaking, Christopher left some space for the actors to perform well; But the problem is that Christopher's editing and picture style is too strong, and the story is the most important. The audience tends to ignore the importance of the actors, and more often focus on the director's figure hidden behind the screen, so that the actors' performance is good or bad, so they don't have much impression.

In other words, Christopher is not a director who is good at shooting and training actors. He can only say that he is a director who knows how to use actors.

Still, there are countless actors who want to work with Christopher. It's not for performance, but for the director's wild imagination, which really brings the charm of the film to the extreme——

Whether it's "Dark Knight" or "Inception", or "memory fragments" and "fatal magic", Christopher uses the art of editing and lens to construct an illusory and real film time, which implies the director's thinking and exploration of philosophy and life, and brings a completely different viewing experience.

This is very rare indeed.

So being able to work with Christopher is another charm of acting.

Is Christopher Nolan Langley's favorite director? Maybe not; But is Christopher Nolan one of Langley's favorite directors? There is no doubt about that.

If there is a chance, Langley also hopes to play in Christopher's works. "Dark Knight", "Inception" and "Dunkirk" can be regarded as Langley's top three favorite directing works. Once upon a time, lanli was choked because he regretfully missed "Inception".

Never thought that the name of "Christopher Nolan" would come out of Andy's mouth.

"Wow, are you serious?" Lan Li did not hide his joy and joy, and his words were full of joy.

On the contrary, Andy remained calm, deliberately lowered his voice and said, "which one do you prefer, Night Walker or Nolan?"

It's just a hypothetical question, but Langley pondered for a moment, "Nolan." The answer surprised Andy. "Remember what I told you before? I want to challenge some more relaxed and different roles. "

"Yes, I remember, you were even willing to challenge the role of a vase." Andy grins his head gently.

"That's what it means." Lan Li went on to say, "the script and characters of Night Walker are undoubtedly fatally attractive. This is the most exciting performance opportunity for me after crazy love; But now, I'd like to challenge some characters who overthrow me. They can be villains' dark characters or relaxed comedy characters. Nolan's film is a more suitable choice. "

Andy suddenly realized. In the final analysis, it's still a matter of timing. The impact of "pop drummer" is now more and more obvious in Lan Li.

"But it's not because of the name Christopher Nolan, it's because everything hasn't been decided yet." Andy then said, "now the whole project is still in the preliminary preparation stage. I don't have a script or a project plan. Everything is uncertain. I just talked with Christopher once, that's all."

Lan Li didn't rush in and listened patiently.

Andy went on to explain.

The film project dates back to 2007, when the famous astrophysicist Kip Thorne and producer Lynda obst discussed making a film about black holes and wormholes, and constructed the basic theory of the whole story.

Kip is a professor of Feynman theoretical physics at the California Institute of technology. As one of the most outstanding scientists in the field of black holes and general relativity, he is a long-term friend of Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan. There is an intuitive example of his position in the industry. In the film "theory of all things", Kip is a famous scientist in the field of black holes and general relativity, One of the three mentors who judged whether Hawking's doctoral thesis passed was Kip Thorne.

In 2017, Kip Thorne won the Nobel Prize in physics.

The original intention of the film project is to explain the complex concept of relativity to the public, which is what he always hoped to achieve during his tenure at Caltech - to promote science to more ordinary people and encourage more people to participate in scientific research.

At that time, Linda obster found Steven Spielberg, and Steven showed great interest. He found Jonathan Nolan to write the script. At that time, Jonathan had already written two plays of "memory fragments" and "fatal magic". After completing the script of "Dark Knight", he was able to write two plays, He started to prepare for Steven's project.

After a while, the project has never been able to make breakthrough progress, because Kip hopes that the whole story will be based on real and scientific theory.

Kip stressed that all the theories of celestial bodies, physics and the phenomena guided by them in the film must conform to science, which not only created many difficulties for Jonathan's script writing, but also posed numerous difficulties for the film shooting. This reminds people of the work gravity. Without enough technical support, the film is impossible, and so is this project.

In the end, Steven quit the project, while Christopher, who had just finished filming the Batman trilogy, took over.

After taking over, Christopher went to Caltech to seek help from Kip. It took him six months to have a class first, then discuss, and finally write the script. After all the theoretical knowledge structures were really built, Nolan brothers completed the final version of the script. At this time, it is far from the original version in 2007.

Anyway, the script is finally finished, and the technology seems to have reached the corresponding height. Everything is ready. It seems that it can be shot now; But there are also problems. Warner Bros. and legend are going their separate ways.

As mentioned before, Christopher Nolan is the direct director discovered by Jeff robinov; What's more, all the works he worked with Warner Bros. were handled by Thomas tour.

Now, robinov is forced to leave, and Thomas cooperates with universal pictures, which also makes Christopher in a dilemma——

Should he continue to work with Warner Brothers?

Now, the project is in a chaotic situation, and it seems that there is no way to sort out the ideas in a short time. Andy and Christopher once talked about the possibility of joining Langley, and Christopher expressed great interest, but that's all. Nothing has been determined, Because Christopher himself can't be sure.
