Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

With the name of "Batman" and Warner Bros., Christopher Nolan can choose his favorite actors as much as he likes in the selection of actors and create a satisfactory cast. That's one of the benefits of big companies doing big things.

For Evan Bell, the casting review was a new experience. The last time the main casting work of "Deadly Identity" was done by David Greenblatt and James Mangold, Evan Bell just listed the cast based on his own memory. Moreover, due to the shortage of funds at Eleven Studios at that time, inviting actors was completely tightening the belt to live. Now, although Evan Bell has a fresh memory of most of the cast of "Batman: Time for War", after all, they are all big-name actors and their works are also impressive, but when discussing with Christopher Nolan, it is more about Let your imagination run wild and discuss actors who are suitable for roles.

This is a very happy thing. It's like playing a football manager type game. You can choose your favorite actors at will. There are no restrictions on big names, small names, and unknown names. The important thing is to be "appropriate", and then create the best Satisfied with the lineup, go to shoot a movie. It's a nice feeling to have everything in your hands.

"If only when 'Mystery Skin' started filming, I could choose actors so freely." Evan Bell joked.

Christopher Nolan knew that Evan Bell was just talking, so he rarely ridiculed Evan Bell, "Then you handed this script to Warner Bros., or you signed with Warner Bros. directly. Whichever option it is, I think Barry would definitely welcome it."

Evan Bell was stunned for a while, then he laughed, and occasionally he was counterattacked by an honest person, which really made him unexpected.

See Evan Bell's silly expression. Christopher Nolan didn't show a big smile either, but the corners of his mouth were drawn into a pleasant arc, as far as his style was concerned. Bright and brilliant is not his style. "Or, you can make more money and build Eleven Studios into a big company like Warner Bros. It's the same effect."

"Chris. Do you think I'm Spielberg?" Evan Bell's counterattack this time blurted out, with a deep smile on his face. It is very difficult for a company to develop into a giant like Warner Bros. without decades of accumulation. Now Hollywood has only developed DreamWorks in just ten years, and DreamWorks was founded by Steven Spielberg. Founded by three bigwigs, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen, Evan Bell's current level has not yet had such a strong network and appeal.

Christopher Nolan's face that looked like a cold London winter couldn't help but see a ray of sunshine, which could be seen from the look in his eyes. He smiled happily. However, Christopher Nolan did not intend to continue on this issue, and now the development speed of Eleven Studios has been very fast. And he really likes the current atmosphere of the Eleventh Studio, which is free, comfortable and full of personality. Even now Christopher Nolan has embraced commercial blockbusters like "Batman: War Hour." Under the insistence of Eleven Studio, he can still maintain his own style, which is absolutely the best thing for him. If Eleven morphs into a big company like Warner Bros., Christopher Nolan isn't sure it can stay the way it is now.

"Are you planning to produce the script of 'Mysterious Skin' yourself?" Christopher Nolan knows a little about the adaptation of the script of 'Mysterious Skin'. You must know that he is not only a brilliant director, but also an outstanding screenwriter , "Memento" earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay.

"Well, but the script has not been completed yet, and I will enter a new crew next. I don't know when it will officially enter the preparations." Evan Bell shrugged, from taking over the adaptation of "Mysterious Skin" to Now, half a year has passed, and he has been busy all the time, which makes Michelle Hathaway's expectations a bit disappointing.

"Are you going to perform by yourself?" The style of "Mysterious Skin" is what Christopher Nolan likes very much. It can be seen from his previous works, and "Mysterious Skin" is also deep enough for the description of several protagonists. Let Christopher Nolan also have great expectations for Evan Bell's adaptation. Before that, Evan Bell worked as a producer twice, one was "Fatal Identity" and the other was "Crash", and Evan Bell personally participated in the performance. Therefore, Christopher Nolan will have this question.

Originally it was just a casual question, but Evan Bell hesitated for a while, "I'm not sure either." The actor Neil of "Mysterious Skin", Evan Bell plans to follow the trajectory of his previous life and invite his friends Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, because Joseph Gordon-Levitt really played Neil very well! The other character, Brian, is not easy to perform, but Evan Bell has not yet decided whether to join the show.

Christopher Nolan glanced at Evan Bell, then put his hands on the table and said seriously, "Have you ever considered being a director?"

Hearing this proposal, Evan Bell raised his head, looked at Christopher Nolan, and found the sincerity on his friend's face. However, Christopher Nolan speaks with a serious expression most of the time, and it is not easy to see him joking.

"You can try to take up the position of director yourself. In terms of your understanding of the script, the understanding of the characters, and the control of the movie screen, I think you are the most suitable candidate." Christopher Nolan thought in his mind After thinking about it carefully, his expression became more and more serious. This is indeed a feasible plan. "Also, you can also choose your favorite actors and control the entire work in your own hands. This is also a compensation for your inability to Like Warner Bros., you can choose the actors as much as you like."

Evan Bell didn't care about Christopher Nolan's last joke, and thought about it carefully. In fact, in the past few months, although he has not officially thought about this issue, whether it is in the process of script adaptation or when conceiving the movie screen, it is undeniable that he has always stood in the director's position to "mysterious skin". ” explained in detail. Also, Evan Bell had been learning how to be a good director long before "Deadly Identity" was filmed.

Therefore, Christopher Nolan's words suddenly awakened Evan Bell of the authorities. In fact, he really wanted to be the director of "Mysterious Skin", to be able to shoot a special movie and adapt himself. The script evolved into the language of the screen to tell the story. This idea just wandered around in his mind, and it made Evan Bell feel jittery.

Seeing the thoughtful expression on Evan Bell's face, Christopher Nolan immediately understood, and went on to say, "The director's position actually requires more talent. For picture composition, lens language, and the use of light, a director You must have your own ideas and styles, not necessarily a fixed style, but you must have your own characteristics, and know how to use the lens to imprint your own logo, this is the most important. As for experience, you can continue to accumulate in practice Well." After a pause, Christopher Nolan added, "I see that when you shoot a music video, you have your own ideas. Although the style is not fixed, your lens language can always convey you clearly. Intention, that's talent."

Christopher Nolan recalled the time when he and Evan Bell first met, the two discussed the storyline of "Memento". It can be seen from that time that Evan Bell has his own unique intuition for the structure and picture of the film. This is a very important talent for a director.

As soon as the idea of ​​directing "Mysterious Skin" appeared, it was like seeds taking root and sprouting, spreading uncontrollably in Evan Bell's mind, wildly growing grass.

Now that you have thought of it, do it. Isn't this Evan Bell's life philosophy in life, not to mention that this idea has been hidden in the depths of his brain for some time, and today it was just woken up by Christopher Nolan. Soon, Evan Bell was no longer bothered, but just smiled relievedly, "Let's finish the script first, let alone, I don't know when the filming of 'The Mechanical Enemy' will be finished."

Christopher Nolan knows that Evan Bell has made up his mind.

If he wants to direct "Mysterious Skin", then Evan Bell should not appear in this work He hopes that he can devote more energy to the position of director. He is not the kind of heaven-defying character who can write, direct, and act as soon as he comes out, and he doesn't want to show too much ambition when he first challenges the director position, but instead leads to half-heartedness and ruins the work. Even if you want to write, direct and act, we will talk about it later. So, who is going to play the role of Brian? This is indeed a problem.

Evan Bell breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's talk about it after the filming of 'Mechanical Enemy', don't worry now."

Christopher Nolan nodded in agreement. Although Evan Bell is not doing his job properly and he is in every field, he still has enough concentration when doing one thing, otherwise he will not be able to achieve in every field. Not bad results.

"I heard that you have made a lot of revisions to the script of 'Enemies Mechanical'?" The matter of "Batman: Time for War" has been discussed today, and Christopher Nolan naturally focused his attention on Evan- on Bell.

Evan Bell nodded, "I suggest enriching the male protagonist's psychological changes to make this character three-dimensional."
