During the month he came to China, Nolan not only saw all the scenery, but also had an eye-opening experience.

Nolan traveled along the way and took notes with his notebook and mobile phone whenever he had inspiration.

In one month, I accumulated half a box of manuscript paper.

That night, Nolan took Cheng Yuan to the study to discuss the lens design of "Inception" all night long.

Cheng Yu'an got excited about chatting and stayed up all night with Nolan.

It was dark the next day, and Cheng Yu'an went to the set to start work in high spirits, leaving Nolan alone in the hotel to continue thinking hard.

"Yuan Yu'an, tell us, was the foreigner who came last night Christopher Nolan? That British guy?" Cheng Yu'an was surrounded by people as soon as he arrived at the set.

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "Yes, that's him."

"How do you know him?"

"I have a movie to shoot with him, and I have been preparing it for half a year. Now I come here to relax and find inspiration." "Inception" is almost about to be announced, and Cheng Yu'an didn't hide it.

"What movie? When will filming start?"

"An original science fiction film is initially scheduled to be released in July, and if it comes soon it will be June. Okay, let's start work quickly and shoot two more sets today."

The more calm Cheng Yu'an speaks, the more others think he is pretending.

The first step is to cooperate with Disney on the sequel film of "Tron", and the second step is to develop an original science fiction film by itself.

It has been in preparation for half a year, and the earliest production will start in half a year. With a one-year preparation period, it looks like it will be another big production.

Cheng Yuan was not only worried about Nolan leaking the secret, but also took him to visit the set of "The Wind" in the next few days.

Nolan said: "I found that you Chinese directors are too tired of filming. You have to take care of everything, lighting, photography, props, all have to be checked by the director."

When filming in Hollywood, the director is just a tool. The producers and coordinators make the shooting plan perfectly, leaving very little room for the director to express himself. Hollywood directors do not need to do everything.

It is indeed much easier on the set than a Chinese director.

Cheng Yu'an couldn't answer anything. The two parties had different filming methods, so there was nothing to talk about.

Nolan stayed in Dalian for three days before returning to the United States: "I have a lot of good ideas that I need to communicate with the preparation team quickly. See you in the United States, g."

After January has passed, the Lunar New Year holiday is truly over.

The results for the year begin to be settled.

This year's Lunar New Year performance was surprisingly good, if "Mei Lanfang" is also included.

There are six movies with a box office of over 100 million: "Mei Lanfang", "Ip Man", "Red Cliff Part 2", "Crazy Racing", "If You Are the One" and "You Long Xi Feng".

Domestic films achieved an overwhelming victory.

A thoughtful person will judge after looking at this year's Lunar New Year report card: "Domestic productions account for three parts of the world. China Film, Remote Control, and Huayi."

All six movies are produced by these three companies.

Among them, China Film is the strongest, accounting for 2.5 films: "Mei Lanfang", "Red Cliff Part 2" and half of "Crazy Racing".

Huayizhan 2: "You are the Dragon and the Phoenix" and "If You Are the One".

Remote accounted for 1.5: "Ip Man" and half of "Crazy Race".

Yuan Yuan is quite satisfied with the performance of this year's Lunar New Year film. The key is that he let out a bad breath, as "Ip Man" overwhelmed "Mei Lanfang".

"Ip Man" relied on Cheng Yu'an's reputation and the marketing of "Bruce Lee", and the copyright was sold well overseas, and the cost has been recovered.

The remote profit from "Ip Man" is more than that from "Racing".

The crew of "The Wind" stopped work that day, and Cheng Yu'an received a call from Cheng Lingfeng from the capital:

"Huayi wants to invest in "Tron: Legacy", but it can't come up with so much money at the moment. They have prepared 35 million for Feng Xiaogang's "Aftershock", Xu Ke is preparing for "Di Renjie", and Huayi is also the main investor, so at least it has to be spent.

If it goes down to 100 million, Huayi really has no money."

"If you have no money, just look for someone else."

"But they were unwilling to give in. Wang Zhonglei came to me specifically during the day today and wanted to exchange resources with us."

"Give me "Aftershock"?"

"Tangshan Earthquake" earned Huayi at least 100 million. If Huayi is willing to spin off "Tangshan Earthquake", Yuan Yuan will definitely be happy to take it.

"What are you thinking! Huayi will distribute Feng Xiaogang's movie to us? He wants to transfer "Detective Dee" to us. This movie is too expensive. It hasn't started shooting yet. The preparation alone has cost Huayi 2,000 yuan.

Wang Zhonglei couldn't bear the tens of thousands and wanted to take over from us."

Cheng Yuan was not angry: "I know this movie. "Detective Dee" is a bottomless pit. It is Xu Ke's experimental project to play with his technology. We don't need to take this offer. Tell Huayi that South Korea's CJ Entertainment has offered 30 million.

SM Entertainment offered 37 million, if they don’t have money, they won’t play.”

If "Detective Dee" is an exclusive IP, even if it loses money at the box office, it will be willing to take it on. It can make up for it elsewhere. But this is a public IP and anyone can film it. Why would Cheng Yu'an take it?

The entire series of "Detective Detective" actually lost money. Huayi almost lost money after taking control of "Tongtian Empire". Andy Lau stopped playing with them, so the second part had to diversify its investment.

"Huayi has no money, but the two brothers have money." Cheng Yu'an is very familiar with Huayi's methods. "If they really want to invest, they can always make money. Didn't they use the land to build a movie town?

If things get worse, you can give us the land."

Cheng Lingfeng thought for a while and said with a smile: "So that's what you had in mind. You want to suck the blood of these two brothers."

"How can you call it blood-sucking?" Cheng Yu'an laughed, "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. The Korean side took the money and waited for me to sign it. If they wanted to invest, they told them to hurry up. There are no two in "Tron: Legacy"

It will be launched in a month, and I don’t have time to waste with them.”

"Okay, I understand. Oh, by the way, I have something else to tell you." Cheng Lingfeng remembered, "Lu Zheng also has great ideas about "Tron: Legacy", so he took Tian Tianqiu to the old man's place.

Already."

"What kind of fooling around is he following?" Cheng Yu'an didn't like others to trouble the old man because of business matters.

"The old man means the same thing, but I can't help you and Tiantian having a baby kiss. Lu Zheng has been running to the racecourse every day for the past few days, and Tiantian is calling her grandpa, which is so affectionate. Sissi has complained to me several times."

"The old man is relieved because of his old friendship. If you want us to help, please help."

"What's going on!" Cheng Yu'an was annoyed, "How much can he pay?"

"He wants Kui La as the protagonist and offers 35 million, but only needs 20 million investment shares."

"Is he crazy? Such a bad movie costs more than 200 million?" Cheng Yu'an knew that Lu Zheng was rich, but he didn't expect to be so willing.

"They are rich. What do you say?"

"What else can I say? He has already begged the old man to give it to anyone. Lu Zheng will have to sign the contract in two days." Cheng Yu'an finally said, "It's really too much money to burn."

"Okay, you're not happy if someone gives you money. Then I agree with Lu Zheng. It's up to Huayi to see what they want. You call Sissy and try to coax her."

"Okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yuan called his girlfriend.

"Humph~" the young lady said arrogantly as soon as she answered the phone.

"What are you doing, my aunt is here? You don't want to answer my call." Cheng Yu'an said with a smile.

When Liu Yifei hummed this sentence, Cheng Yu'an knew that Cheng Lingfeng had just called her in front of her.

"You two are old friends and we're close since childhood. I can't compare to you."

"Be more serious."

"That's right!" Liu Yifei was really jealous.

When the old man passed his birthday, she got his personal recognition that she was the wife of the Cheng family.

But in the past two days, Lu Zheng and Tian Tian were whispering in the old man's ear, and the old man was soft-hearted and agreed to help Tian Tian, ​​which made her feel a crisis immediately.

Cheng Yu'an hurriedly coaxed: "The old friendship between the two families is a matter of the previous generation, and I don't recognize it."

"Besides, this matter has to be done on a first-come, first-served basis, right? Why don't I leave the fairy sister alone and fall in love with a half-grown girl?"

"You're not a big girl, she's only one year younger than me."

"Okay, don't be so jealous. I really only like you, really."

"you swear!"

"I swear." Cheng Yu'an coaxed, "Okay, I still have a meeting with the crew here. After I finish working on "The Wind", I will take you on vacation to spend time together."

Liu Yifei reluctantly believed Cheng Yuan's words: "Okay."

The young lady hung up the phone, and Cheng Lingfeng on the side joked to her: "Are you satisfied this time? I grew up with Yu'an, and he is very stupid and direct in relationships.

"I can tell that he really likes you, otherwise he wouldn't take you to his company in the United States and let you act in "Inception" with Xiao Li."

"I know, but I just..."

"He has a business relationship with Lu Zheng. Emotionally, my little aunt will support you."
