The caller is Christopher Nolan.

"Evan, did you find me last night?" Christopher Nolan's voice was hoarse and full of exhaustion, "I have been researching materials last night."

"Information? What, do you have a plan for a new work?" Evan Bell did not give the reason for his call, but continued following Christopher Nolan's words.

"Well, I'm studying the life of Howard Hughes recently." Christopher Nolan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone. There was a faint breath in the receiver, but hidden behind his tired tone, there was a touch of Excited, "You know, he's really a legend. He's called the storm in Hollywood, he has also developed and developed combat aircraft, and has made great contributions to satellite technology. Famous. It's hard to imagine that one person can do so many miracles at the same time."

Evan Bell smiled, the legendary tycoon Howard Hughes is famous.

Howard Hughes has created outstanding achievements in the aircraft and film industries, and has always been complacent in love. Katherine Hepburn, Eva Gardner and other top "female" actors have an affair with him. In addition, he was an "excellent" pilot, but in 1946, when he was testing a new type of aircraft, he crashed due to technical reasons and was seriously injured. In addition, Howard Hughes also gradually developed the "psychosis" of obsessive-compulsive disorder because of his high "energy" concentration. Then, physical and "mental" trauma prevented him from continuing to pursue his career in person. Therefore, the aircraft company owed huge debts because of the delay in the development of the new aircraft, was harassed by the US government, and was on the verge of bankruptcy. At this time, Howard Hughes almost completely collapsed and locked himself in a room all day. In the small room, there was a nervous "nonsense" talk. Thanks to the help of his former lover, Eva Gardner, Howard Hughes was reinvigorated and finally completed the research and development of a new type of aircraft, making the company out of the predicament and striding toward glory again.

That's why Evan Bell called Christopher Nolan last night. Recently, Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese are discussing a new work, which is the "aviator" that tells the legendary life of Howard Hughes. Evan Bell confirmed with Leonardo DiCaprio before leaving the restaurant.

"The Aviator," the film is Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese's second collaboration after "Gangs of New York." The idea originally came from Leonardo DiCaprio, who thought it would be an amazing idea to make a film about the life of Howard Hughes. After more than half a year of negotiations, Martin Scorsese was finally confirmed to be the director.

From the beginning of the preparations for "The Aviator" to the confirmation of the entire team, the essence of the film was quickly determined: this is a film that caters to the taste of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. filmed. Legendary experience, "schizophrenia", ups and downs, inspirational stories... Martin Scorsese hits the best director statuette, Leonardo DiCaprio tries to win his first best actor The Golden Man, of course, and the heaviest Best Picture.

The fact is also true, "The Aviator" received unanimous praise after its release. Whether it is Martin Scorsese or Leonardo DiCaprio, they are considered to be the most powerful contenders for the little golden man. Leonardo DiCaprio also broke the academic paranoia with this film and won his first best actor nomination in his life.

But as Evan Bell said before, in addition to strength, you also need luck. The more powerful he is, the more disliked Oscar is, and he always hopes to do something different to break the so-called "tradition". As a result, the "aviator" who swept almost the entire awards season, encountered Waterloo at the Oscars. After that, Martin Scorsese has almost become the saddest person in the world.

From the standpoint of a friend, Evan Bell jokingly persuaded Leonardo DiCaprio, "Movies made to win awards are often not favored by the judges."

In fact, at dinner yesterday, Evan Bell said, "For the sake of winning an award or for the box office, to take up a work exclusively, it loses the fun of being an actor, doesn't it?" However, with Leonardo DiCaprio's current state of mind is still difficult to understand the experience summed up by Evan Bell II.

So, after hearing Evan Bell's ridicule, Leonardo DiCaprio just took it as a joke. Evan Bell also knows that he can't force it. It must be Leonardo DiCaprio's ups and downs before he can calm down. Besides, "The Aviator" is indeed a huge test for Leonardo DiCaprio's acting skills, which also has an immeasurable effect on his future.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese collaborated on "The Aviator". After Evan Bell confirmed it, he remembered that he once read a rumor that Christopher Nolan was in After the filming of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", I actually considered filming a biographical film about Howard Hughes. However, Evan Bell didn't check relevant information in his last life, and he wasn't quite sure about the true "sex", so he never thought of it before.

Now, with Christopher Nolan's confirmation, Evan Bell can't help but smile bitterly. It seems that Christopher Nolan is destined to miss Howard Hughes in his last life or this life.

"How about it, don't you think this is a very suitable story to be made into a movie?" Although Christopher Nolan was tired, he was still very happy when he found a theme that suits his heart.

"Chris, this is really suitable for making a movie. But..." The transitional words are always the most depressing, and Christopher Nolan couldn't help but ask "What?" Fortunately, Evan Bell didn't hang his appetite. "But this subject has already been prepared for filming, and it has almost entered the actual preparatory stage."

"Who? Which company?" Christopher Nolan sat up abruptly, and a tiredness that had not slept all night suddenly disappeared.

Evan Bell recalled it carefully and found that it was really flooded with the Dragon King Temple. "Scoxis and DiCaprio. Warner Bros. and Miramax co-produced." Warner Bros., they are inextricably linked to Christopher Nolan.

Warner Bros. invested and filmed "White Night" at the beginning, and they were very optimistic about Christopher Nolan's potential and hoped to sign an agreement with him for three commercial films. However, Christopher Nolan felt that it would affect his own creative rhythm, and he was troubled for a while, and had discussions with Evan Bell.

"Damn Warner Bros." Christopher Nolan has always been an elegant gentleman, but he couldn't help but swear. But all along, he has been burying himself in researching materials and writing scripts. Naturally, he won't tell Warner Bros. before the script is finished, and he won't show the script he has just started to the studio to see. All I can say is, one step away. "Well, it seems that my script was not written fast enough, and I was preempted by others."

Evan Bell is not very worried, Christopher Nolan's talent will never be buried. If the timing doesn't go wrong, it is estimated that Warner Bros. will approach Christopher Nolan with the script for "Batman" before long.

The Batman series is one of the most profitable comic book series in Hollywood, but in 1997, director Joe Schumacher, who had worked with Evan Bell in the "Sniper Phone Booth", shot "Batman 4". "Frozen People" was not only criticized for its quality, but also had the worst box office. That led Warner Bros. to put the series on hold to prevent the loss of the franchise.

Evan Bell remembers that Warner Bros. should have had "negotiations" with Christopher Nolan this year for the remake of the "Batman" series. They will start shooting tomorrow and will be released in the summer of the following year. This "Batman: War Hour" "It also opened the second brilliance of the Batman film series, and also let audiences across the United States know Christopher Nolan, the talented director.

"What was the final result of your last negotiation with Warner Bros.?" Evan Bell didn't talk too much about missing out on Howard Hughes, because that's what the entertainment industry is like, opportunities are everywhere, maybe the same opportunity There are countless individuals who fight for it and can win it, in addition to strength, it depends on luck and timing. Christopher Nolan is tangled, but he won't be depressed for too long.

"It's still in the tug-of-war Warner Bros. and I have different ideas." Christopher Nolan has no intention of concealing it at all. It was with the help of Evan Bell last time that he made him The partnership with Warner Bros. took a turn for the worse. However, it has now been a year, and I did not expect that the two sides still have not reached an agreement. It seems that the weight given to Christopher Nolan by "White Nights" is still not heavy enough, so Christopher Nolan thought of writing a biographical film of Howard Hughes and then negotiating with Warner Bros.

"I wish I made two movies according to Warner Bros., and then Warner Bros. made one movie according to my intention. However, Warner Bros. want the ratio to be three to one." Christopher Nolan sighed, and Negotiations with big studios are always so difficult. "I was originally a slow worker. If I made three movies according to their intentions, it is estimated that three or four years have passed before and after. This time ratio is too long." Christopher Nolan's insistence naturally has his reasons. .

After Evan Bell heard it, an idea flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but jokingly said, "Why don't you join Studio Eleven and I'll help you talk to Warner Bros.?" It seems that Evan Bell has recently become addicted to poaching.

Then broke out, asking for recommendation, asking for monthly pass, asking for subscription!
