Nolan really stepped on shit.

At the beginning of "Inception", he was interested in Bale for the role, but as a result, he was out of schedule, so he replaced him with the more expensive Xiao Li. He wanted to give the heroine Adrian to Evan Rachel Wood, but Boss Cheng took it away directly.

Gave it to my girlfriend.

Arthur, the second male forward, wanted to find James Franco, but Franco was not available either.

After all, Nolan is also a great director with a global box office of over 1 billion, and Xiao Li has been cast as the male lead. Is it so difficult to find an actor for "Inception"?

It has been more than 4 and 5 months since the project was launched, and Nolan is a little upset.

At the suggestion of his wife Emma, ​​Nolan and Cheng Yuan went to China to relax together after Christmas.

To add, after Christmas, Disney generally agreed to Cheng Yuan’s investment plan.

But in terms of dividends, Disney only promised to share dividends from box office, DVD and pay TV, as well as profits from peripherals and new media (online on-demand), but Disney refused to give it to Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yuan finally agreed to give up part of the profits, but the condition was that in addition to Kui La, he also wanted the casting rights for another supporting actress, Gem.

Disney has no objections in this regard. "Tron: Legacy" is a special effects action film and a man's drama. Regardless of the heroine or the supporting character, they are all mere foils.

Moreover, Disney was unsure about restarting this project after 27 years. If Cheng Yu'an wants to sell two female characters for 60 million, just give it to him.

The two landed in the capital without causing any commotion.

Cheng Yu'an has been away from the stage for a while due to preparations for "The Wind", and Nolan has not yet become a god in China.

The two left the airport quietly, and Cheng Yu'an took him back to his home to sit down.

"Crystal, long time no see." Nolan saw Liu Yifei doing rehabilitation training at home and greeted her warmly.

"Nolan, are you coming to China for vacation?" Liu Yifei asked.

"Yes, the preparation for "Inception" is too difficult. I need to go out and relax."

"Nolan, you can stay in China for a few more days. Chinese New Year is coming soon. We will take you to feel the Chinese New Year atmosphere."

"Thank you, but I still want to go somewhere else to have fun first. I will definitely come back to the capital to see you in the New Year."

Nolan chatted for a while at Cheng Yuan's house, and then consciously returned to the hotel to catch up on jet lag.

Liu Yifei put her foot on Cheng Yuan's leg, and Cheng Yuan held it over:

"The heating in the room is quite strong, why is it still so cold?"

Liu Yifei sat next to him and asked him how he was doing in the United States.

"It's not bad. The company's performance this year has been good. All the movies it produced have made money, and the bonuses have been paid out. By the way, we've reached a cooperation agreement with Disney."

"Oh no, Disney cheated me out of 60 million before I even had money in my hands."

"Don't say bad words!" Liu Yifei slapped Cheng Yu'an.

"Bah, bah, bah." Cheng Yu'an sighed several times.

"What project are you cooperating with Disney on?" Liu Yifei asked him.

"A sci-fi film about a video game, 60 million was invested for two female characters. Don't look at me," Cheng Yu'an knew what Liu Yifei was planning as soon as he looked at her, and said while warming her feet, "There is a fight scene in it.

, your waist finally has a chance to be cured, if something happens again, your mother will beat me to death."

"That's what I thought, I'm very satisfied to be able to cooperate with Xiao Li." Liu Yifei smiled, feeling very happy that her boyfriend was taking such good care of her.

"Actually, I'm a little unsure about this movie. The last one was 27 years ago. Disney made it clear that they wanted to find a bad guy to share the risk."

"Then you still take it."

"I am doing this project mainly to train our special effects team. The special effects of this movie are very good. If our people can participate, the 60 million will be worth it."

"Then the tuition you paid is too expensive, 60 million US dollars, more than 300 million US dollars!"

"Fool, when did I say that I personally spent 60 million US dollars? Disney knows how to find people to share risks, but I don't know how? I am going to divide this investment, and the two female characters have also been sold."

"Profiteer." Liu Yifei curled her lips.

"How can I support you if I don't make money?" Cheng Yu'an climbed up the pole.

"Who wants you to raise me?" Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, took her feet out of Cheng Yu'an's arms, and went upstairs.

Two days later, an "insider" broke the news: Cheng Yuan's major Hollywood film company reached a cooperation with Disney, investing a total of US$160 million to produce a sequel to "Tron", with filming expected to begin in April.

And Cheng Yuan has the power to decide on the casting of the female lead and second female lead.

This "insider" doesn't know what happens next.

At this point, I can no longer understand what it means.

There are no female artists signed by Yuan Yuan, which means that the two roles played by Cheng Yuan are equal to everyone!

Cheng Yu'an didn't say that these two roles would be given to China, but he had to fight for them!

That's Disney!

A-level science fiction masterpiece with a total investment of US$160 million!

However, Cheng Yuan, adhering to the principle of taking a long-term view to catch the big fish, disappeared in an instant!

Master Tang said well, hold on! The longer you hold on, the more you earn!

Interested investors and production companies called Yuanyuan to inquire. The reply was: "This is Director Cheng's personal project in Hollywood and has nothing to do with Yuanyuan Media. The company has no right to intervene and cannot answer you."

Cheng Yuan plunged into the preparation of "The Wind" and no one could contact him.

The main actors of "The Wind" are still undecided.

The remote person took the script and went to Japan to find Kagawa Teruyuki, hoping to cast him as Takeda. However, Kagawa Teruyuki has been very busy in the past two years and the schedule could not be adjusted.

Cheng Yu'an originally thought that Kagawa Teruyuki was very friendly to mainland filmmakers and would not reject roles like Takeda. If he could take the role, he would take it, and if he couldn't, he would find someone in China.

But he underestimated his appeal as the best director in Venice.

The Japanese entertainment industry heard that the best director in Venice was looking for a Japanese actor to star in a movie. No matter whether he was playing a Japanese military officer, various agencies contacted him to promote their artists remotely.

In the past few days, at least ten Japanese agents have brought people to the preparation team of "The Wind" to meet with Cheng Yu'an.

Finally, after a costume test, Cheng Yuan personally selected Hidetoshi Nishijima to play Takeda.

First of all, Nishijima is tall enough. He is 178cm tall and looks like he is wearing a Japanese military uniform.

I'm not talking about you, Xiao Ming.

Secondly, in terms of lines, Cheng Yu'an shouldn't worry about Xi Dao not being able to pass the test.

Furthermore, Nishijima's image and acting skills can control Takeda, a careerist who can wash away the family's humiliation, a perverted heart, and a hint of cowardice in his bones.

During the audition, Cheng Yu'an was very satisfied with his performance.

Hidetoshi Nishijima and the manager from Quarter Tone Agency bowed to Cheng Yuan and exited the audition room.

After Nishijima was confirmed, he did not return to Japan and stayed directly at the crew hotel to figure out the role.

The role of Li Ningyu was more troublesome. She had to find someone who could match Mr. Zhou's acting skills and position. Finally, Cheng Yu'an found Jiang Wenli.

Jiang Wenli graduated from the Film Academy in 1993, and Cheng Yuan affectionately called her senior sister.

Jiang Wenli is over 40, but she is doing very well. As soon as she got the role of Li Ningyu, she couldn't put it down. She immediately agreed to play the role without even asking about the salary.

Wu Zhiguo gave Heizi, the actor who played Wu Tian in "Journey to the West".

He has an upright appearance and a tough temperament, which is very suitable for a tough guy like Wu Zhiguo.

On January 15th, a press conference was held remotely to officially announce the main creator of "The Wind".
Chapter completed!
