Chapter 398： The more successful, the harder

"How is the script preparation?"

During the meal, Dunn was accompanied by Penelope Cruz and Michelle Rodriguez on the left and right, and Christopher Nolan on the opposite side.

Nolan put down the knife and fork in his hand, "There are still a few details to be scrutinized, but it will not delay the start of the movie."

According to the plan of Marvel Studios, Daredevil will be released in May 2003. For this project, Nolan has to work hard for two years.

Tang En stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that he could talk while eating, "The same sentence, the idea of ​​the story should be high, the thinking should be deep, and the self-sacrifice of the superhero should be shown."

Nolan nodded and said sternly: "The film will start shooting in October, and will be shot in Chicago, New York, London, Iceland and other places. The studio of Shepparton Film Studio in the United Kingdom is also being renovated. I plan to... For another 7 weeks, I have already applied to the production department, and I will not participate in next year's awards season."

"Oh why?"

Tang En couldn't help but put down the knife and fork in his hand and looked at him intently.

Nolan said: "After all, this is the first time I've made this kind of commercial blockbuster. I hope... I can do my best to be foolproof, including action shots and some framing shots in Iceland and other places. I also want to participate in person, guarantee The overall idea of ​​the film can be carried through to the end.”

Generally speaking, a commercial blockbuster does not have only one film crew. The director will be responsible for the shooting of the main content, and the action shots and auxiliary shots will be handed over to the second film crew to complete.

If it is an American drama, it is even more exaggerated. It is common for three or five film crews to start shooting at the same time.

Dunn nodded. In terms of professional attitude, Nolan's success was by no means accidental.

Just listen to him continue: "Although Daredevil is a superhero movie, you have also said that this film is different from "Spider-Man" in that the focus is on the style of realism. I will take more practical measures. Shooting, studio set shooting and live-action model shooting, computer animation technology...it's not mature enough, and it always feels a little less textured."

Dunn took a big gulp of red wine, and Michelle Rodriguez next to him immediately stood up to take the bottle and filled it for him. Dunn didn't care, and said lightly: "I will be named a producer, but the content of the movie... I hope it's Nolan's style, not a typical Dunn Walker movie."

Nolan's face suddenly flashed a little excited.

Dunn's commercial films have shocked the world in the past few years. Many film academies have set up research projects to discuss Dunn's use of film language and special effects, and analyze the reasons for his success.

Even many producers in Hollywood require the director to shoot the movie according to Dunn's way.

At this time, Dunn allowed Nolan to make a movie of his own style, which is a great trust!

"I...I won't let you down!"

Nolan raised his glass and saluted Dunn.

The wife on his right, Emma Nolan, raised a glass to him with the same excited expression.

Dunn smiled mildly, stood up, like a master, "Let's have a drink together, just be... Celebrating the box office sales of "Unsinkable" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"!"

Lao Mei didn't like this kind of noisy drinking scene, but the big boss led the team, and everyone became lively, and Zack Snyder also shouted, "I wish "Resident Evil" a big box office sale! But "Unsinkable" has to meet the standards of "Mrs. & Mrs. Smith"!"

Fiancee Deborah Johnson said casually, "Zach, are you drinking too much?"

For a while, there was a group of laughter around the dining table.

Everyone was dressed in formal attire, especially the ladies, all dressed in evening dresses, which seemed nondescript in this noisy atmosphere, but it was clear that everyone was laughing happily.

After being seated, Michelle Rodriguez finally found a chance, showing a row of white teeth, and asked with a chuckle: "Mr Walker, how much are the box office of "Unsinkable" and "Mrs. & Mrs. Smith" now? ?"

Tang En glanced at her and found that she was wearing a low-cut dress, and her upper body was leaning forward, deliberately allowing him to appreciate the subtle style inside the dress.

Looks like... Deborah Johnson's job, well done!

""Unsinkable" $890 million, "Mrs. & Mrs. Smith" $520 million." Dunn said without looking.

"Wow! So many?"

Obviously, Michelle Rodriguez was deliberately trying to please, "Mr. Walker, you...you are so amazing, I adore you so much, "Unsinkable" will be your first Four movies that grossed over $1 billion worldwide?"

Over $1 billion?

It's a bit difficult.

It is now the end of August, the craze of the summer season has passed, and it is coming to an off-season at the box office.

Without special means, the box office of "Unsinkable" is almost difficult to surpass that of "Jurassic Park" in 1993.

As for "Mrs. & Mrs. Smith"...it has been completely discontinued.

At least $220 million at the North American box office has lost room for growth.

"911" is coming soon, and action films and war films will encounter a wave of serious boycotts.

Even if "Mrs. and Mrs. Smith" is full of laughs, the overly hot explosion scenes in it will remind the American people of the bang of an airplane building.

There is no need for the audience to choose, the theater will automatically adjust the scale of the show.

Dunn shook his head and said, "The director of "Unsinkable" is James Cameron, not me."

"That's your movie too, you're the producer!" Michelle Rodriguez tilted her head, acting a little coquettishly.

Tang En's heart was beating, and he lowered his voice, "How is your relationship with Mila?"

"Very good!" Michelle Rodriguez glanced at him shyly, biting her red lips, "Originally, Mila said that she would... want to tell you about interesting things during the filming process, no? Thought you brought Miss Cruz with you."

Tang En was overjoyed, pretending to be at a loss, "At night... is this convenient?"

Michelle Rodriguez blushed, and he didn't know whether it was acting or real. In short, it was very realistic. He said, "Anyway... it's storytelling, and nothing else."

"Oh? Since I don't do anything else, why is it inappropriate for me to bring Penny with me?"

"Oops!" Michelle Rodriguez patted her chest and whispered softly, "Mr. Walker, you...you're so bad, you take other people's words!"

This sentence has made it clear that she is willing to accompany Dunn with Milla Jovovich.

But Dunn's interest has decreased.

Such a woman, too much disguise, too much drama, too contrived!

That is, ons, just for fun.

Dunn put his hand under the table, put his hand inside her skirt, walked on her thigh, and said, "Call Mila later, and come to my place at night."

Michelle Rodriguez glanced at him shyly, and said softly, "Well, what about Miss Cruz?"

"Of course together."

"Ah? Oops, Mr. Walker, your hand is dead!"

...

Penelope Cruz pushed open the door of the study, and sure enough, he saw Dunn sitting in front of the computer, writing something quickly.

Since last night, she found that Dunn's attitude towards herself has changed, she is more gentle and doting, and she will talk about interesting topics from time to time instead of simple and primitive physical communication.

This made Penelope Cruz very happy, walked over gently, and was hugged by Dunn in his arms, "Wake up so early?"

"You woke up early." Penelope Cruz glanced at him with a half-smile, "You dealt with the three of us last night, how can you still get up so early today?"

Tang En put his arms around her and laughed, "Are you doubting my physical strength?"

Penelope Cruz pursed his lips and asked quietly, "How was last night?"

Tang En said with a smile: "It's very good, I enjoy it very much."

Penelope Cruz said coquettishly, "If you like...you can convince Rose and Abby, now that Charlie's not here, I can join."

"The two of them?" Tang En shook his head, "Forget it, if the three of you are really together, they will definitely bully you to death. Those two girls... play crazy!"

"How crazy?"

"Crazier than you and Charlie?" Penelope Cruz opened his mouth wide, suddenly interested, twisted his body, and kept saying, "Come on, come on, what are they doing? like?"

Tang En couldn't help laughing, and whispered a few words in her ear.

"what?"

This time, Rao was Penelope Cruz, who had a crazy act last night and played a lot of large-scale tricks. He couldn't help blushing, and his shy eyes were moist, "You...you lied. Humans? How could they…”

Dunn glanced at the door and said quietly: "I'll tell you a secret, Rose and Kate...Cate Blanchett, they were in love, so...you know? Hey, Lara world, you don't understand."

Penelope Cruz bit her lip tightly, her nose raised, "That's too embarrassing, I... I'm not with them anymore, they are too... a little disgusting."

Dunn held her tightly in his arms and laughed happily.

Her figure is very plump, and she is on the same level as Charlize Theron, comparable to a supermodel, and it is very comfortable to hold in her arms.

Penelope Cruz sat on Dunn's lap, snuggled in his arms, glanced at the computer screen, his beautiful eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "Are you writing a book?"

Dunn shook his head, "It's the script."

"Didn't you say that the script for the treasure hunt is finished?"

"another one."

This time, Penelope Cruz was even more surprised.

In the last script, "National Treasure", the girls in Mid-Levels Manor knew that the heroine would be handed over to Rose Byrne.

Dunn has already finished the script, but I didn't expect... A few days later, he started a new script idea again!

So successful and so hard.

How to let others live?
