Hollywood Rhapsody

The author has something to say: ——The following is the main text, ok, happy new year everyone!

"I can't bear it anymore! I can't bear the sight of a young man who has both a successful career and love, and wants to show his love in front of me, an old bachelor!" The door slammed shut, and Sarah and Leonardo stood in the Michael Ove Looking at each other outside Ci's office, he was surprised that he was expelled by the old guy.

"It seems that old Michael broke up again..." Leonardo stared at the closed door and whistled, and then whispered to Sarah with some emotion, "There is a wife who still calls himself a bachelor, Tsk, so marriage is such an unreliable thing."

"The female lawyer looked good before, but it's a pity..." Sarah is not good at commenting on Michael's private life. She obviously has a wife and children at home, but the relationship between him and his wife seems to have tended to be frozen, so Michael keeps The marriage relationship has already regarded itself as a bachelor, and the dating has never stopped...

While the two were whispering, the office door was opened again, and a big box was pushed out, and at the same time, "Bachelor" Michael babbled angrily: "I'm too indulgent to you two little ones, huh? You still have time to go to the pet hospital? Anyway, Martin Scorsese’s movie won’t start shooting until the end of the year at the earliest, so you’re all busy now, right? Three days! Finish reading this box of scripts within three days, and the company will at least release it next year. Three new works, as partners, you can figure it out yourself!"

"Bang"...the door was slammed again, Leonardo and Sarah seemed to feel a hurricane sweeping through, messing up their hair, the two stood there blankly watching Staring at the big cardboard box in front of him, he was dumbfounded—the big cardboard box was full of scripts, and on the script sat a little Noah with a silly smile, holding a soft little milk dog in his arms, and the little milk dog There is also a lizard with its head held high on its back.Three cute animals and six pairs of eyes stared blankly at Sarah and Leonardo, as if waiting for the next move of the two parents.

"I guess..." Leonardo scratched the back of his head and coughed lightly.

"Michael must have had an unpleasant breakup this time." Sarah nodded tacitly, and whispered in a rather serious tone.

"OK, we don't care about poor people who are broken in love. Isn't it just a box of scripts? Little case!" Leonardo muttered while leaning over to pick up little Noah, teasing the little baby with a smile, "Our little Noah I'm worried that there is no suitable bedtime reading material! Right? Our little Noah likes listening to Uncle Leon's stories the most!"

Little Noah was also smiling while holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, and motioned to his dear Uncle Leon to read to him now.

Seeing this, Sarah couldn't help but smiled and shook her head. While rescuing the torn script from Noah's hands, she pointed at her son's little nose and scolded softly: "Naughty boy, this is all the painstaking effort of the screenwriters, word by word. Don't waste it. Let Mommy see, whose masterpiece you tore up? The name of this script is..."

Sarah's words stopped abruptly, staring at the piece of paper crumpled by her son, her heart skipped a beat——

"《Memento》... Krystal...?"

Sarah's pupils couldn't help shrinking, and she quickly squatted down to find the half piece of paper that was torn by little Noah, and finally saw the complete author's name——

"Christopher Nolan!"

For a moment, it seemed as if fireworks exploded in my mind, and movies that people talked about in my previous life quickly appeared in front of my eyes, such as the fantasy thriller "The Prestige", "Batman: The Dark Knight", the classic "Batman: The Dark Knight" that made the clown, and "The Dark Knight". "Inception" between dreams and reality, cosmic sci-fi film "Interstellar"...how old is Christopher Nolan who directed these films?Less than thirty! ?Such a great god would take the initiative to send it to your door?Although the Great God has not yet become a Great God, it still surprised Sarah as if she had won the lottery.

But after rational analysis, Nolan's visit seemed reasonable.With the success of the talent show "Tomorrow's Star" and the movies "Sarah" and "Requiem for a Dream", Starlight Company has become the dream place that young people most yearn for, regardless of the talent show concept of "Tomorrow's Star" or The sentence at the end of "Sarah", "Dedicated to you who have dreams", has attracted filmmakers and even musicians from all over the country to send their self-recommendation letters and works to Starlight with the most ardent and beautiful vision, hoping that one day they can Realize your dreams like Sarah, double your net worth and become famous overnight.

The quality of these works is uneven, and the number is too large, so it is impossible for Sarah to personally screen, but now she is very grateful that this happened today, thanks to Michael who lost his temper like an old child, and thanks to the little boy who tore up the script. Noah, otherwise, wouldn't she just pass by my dear God Nolan?Who would have thought that there was an Oscar-nominated script hidden in such an unremarkable large cardboard box? "Memento" has a more well-known name in China - "Memory Fragments".

This is the famous work of director Nolan. It is a brain-burning movie. The hesitant and unique narrative technique makes many fans even watch the movie four or five times in a row before finally seeing all the clues. Sarah was also hurt by it in her previous life. Knowing the ins and outs of the movie, she watched it 6 times before writing a review that satisfies her, which shows the excellence and brain-burning of this movie, but now, it is like a phoenix chick that has not yet spread its wings. Laying tenderly in Sarah's palm, waiting for her to let go.

"Damn! I almost missed it!" Sarah cursed in her heart, and while returning to her office with Leonardo, she pretended to scan the script quickly, and soon, under Leonardo's surprised eyes She couldn't wait to dial a series of handwritten numbers under the script.

Leonardo couldn't help being aroused, picked up the script on the table and flipped through it while laughing: "You don't have to be so efficient, do you? You've found your target after reading the first one? My dear, we still have three days left Well, there is no rush."

"But I'm in a hurry! I'm afraid the script has been taken away by other companies! God knows how long it's been since this book was delivered!" Sarah replied silently in her heart, listening to the prompt tone that hadn't been picked up on the other end of the phone, She couldn't help becoming more and more anxious, and even checked the number again to see if she had dialed the wrong number. She prayed in a low voice, "Quickly answer! Nolan, you must answer this call!"

"Beep~beep~" After dialing twice in a row, Sarah's heart sank to the bottom.

She stared at the script in Leonardo's hand, her lips pursed unconsciously, just when she was discouraged and planned to try again another day, there was finally a response from the other end of the phone, the line was connected, and a man's voice was clear It came to Sarah's ears: "Hello, this is Christopher Nolan..."

"Hello..." Sarah let out a sigh of relief, and she realized that her hand holding the phone was covered with sweat. She forced herself to maintain a calm and friendly tone, and introduced herself with a smile , "Hi, I'm Sarah Stern, it's a pleasure to read your script, Memento, a very good story... Excuse me... Are you still looking for investment? If it's convenient, we can make an appointment It's time to talk about cooperation..."

"Sarah? Sarah Stern!" There was a gasp on the other end of the phone. Nolan's voice sounded full of surprise, and he obviously didn't expect that the caller would be Sarah herself. Look, Sara is already a young actress who has won the Golden Globe Awards all over the country, and Nolan is just an unknown young director who has just started, so Nolan was indeed pleasantly surprised by the phone call.He paused for a second before replying, "Great! Did you like that script? I mean... I didn't expect to receive this call. After all, I have sent it for a long time and haven't heard back, so... Cough cough, sorry... I actually just found a film company that is willing to invest, and I'm negotiating with it..."

"We are negotiating?" Sarah's heartbeat fluctuated in this simple answer.

But it's okay, it's okay!As long as everything is in the negotiation, it is not too late!She couldn't help but waved her fist silently. This action made Leonardo beside him laugh silently. He had already quickly read the outline of the script, and he was looking at it with bright eyes, looking forward to what Sarah said. result of the phone call.

When Sarah told the phone with pride, "As long as you dare to shoot, we dare to invest", Leonardo put his arms around his girlfriend's waist and laughed out loud. He knew that the script had been won without asking him. Even though other companies have already taken over, his little girlfriend is so capable!And... rich!Domineering!

Sarah glanced sideways at Leonardo, she also paid attention to the other's expression, the corners of her mouth curled up a little smugly, this is bound to be a day full of surprises, especially Leon's lucky day, with "Memory Fragments" And "Gangs of New York", Mr. DiCaprio will be busy in the second half of the year and even next year. His eyes unconsciously glance at the French bulldog who is rolling with his stupid son. The arc of Sarah's mouth is raised a little bit. I will never admit my petty thoughts at the moment-in fact, the way to control my boyfriend is quite simple, just let him work harder and be more productive!

So, Sarah smiled and put her finger to her mouth to make a silent gesture to her boyfriend, and then said to Christopher Nolan on the other end of the phone: "Dear Nolan, I guess you may lose the choice of a leading actor." This is my chance, because I happen to have a good candidate here, of course, I guarantee that if Mr. DiCaprio cannot satisfy you, I will personally reject him, and I will never make it difficult for you.”

Christopher Nolan on the other end of the phone opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened, satisfied!Of course satisfied!Could not be more satisfied!His hand holding the phone receiver unconsciously tightened a little, and his breathing became even more rapid. When he first sent the script to Starlight Company, he had considered Leonardo more than once, although Leonardo Duo is very young and looks a little too beautiful, but his performance in "A Different Sky" is amazing. This year's "American Psycho" is also amazing. Maybe some people are born for acting. That kind of innate acting skills and talent is what all directors don't want to miss.

Could it be that Sarah guessed his mind?That's why it's such a considerate arrangement?Even in order to get Leonardo, it is impossible for him to refuse Starlight and choose another film company!

However, within an hour, Michael Ovitz's office was pushed away again, and Sarah slapped the script directly on the old "Bachelor"'s desk, crossing her arms and raising her chin arrogantly: "If The workload of "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" can't satisfy you, then add another "Memory Fragment"! Keep the consistent style of Starlight Company-low cost, high quality! This script will definitely not Let you down."

"..." Michael Ovitz raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and looked at Leonardo uncertainly, "You guys are making out in the office enough, just grab a script and come to fool me?"

"It's wrong! I wanted to make out, but Sarah spent an entire hour on the phone with a man named Christopher Nolan, and she didn't even give me a kiss." Leonardo made a heart-shaking gesture aggrieved, watching Xiang Sarah's small eyes are like a poor little daughter-in-law who is dissatisfied with desire but dares not to speak out.

In this regard, Sarah could only grin her teeth and roll her eyes. She tapped her fingers lightly on the script: "Nolan's idea of ​​the movie is very mature. This is a low-budget movie with not many roles. , the scene is simple, as long as the most important male protagonist understands the characters thoroughly, I believe the filming will start soon, so..."

"Ha! I like this rhythm!" Michael, who was still sullen just now, slapped his hands and laughed loudly, "High efficiency, high output, and of course high quality! I said Leon followed Sarah "Ten Things I Hate About You" being a baby daddy is such a waste! We should be running at such a high speed! GO! GO! GO! I believe in Sarah's vision, so GO! GO! GO ! How much budget does this film need? 500 million? 800 million? I'll give it to you right now!"

Looking at the old "bachelor" who changed his face in an instant, both Leonardo and Sarah couldn't help but twitch their mouths—rich!Domineering!This is the real domineering president!

——Hey, I feel a little more energetic after the injection today, the real-time body temperature is 37.5, and I can already code words, ok!

The author has something to say, and I want to say that I saw some readers writing prophecy stems. Although Dailin Zai’s copywriting, Chapter 1, and Chapter 17 have repeatedly reminded mine clearance, and if there are prophecies and mines, you can skip them directly, but it is still... Hey, I want to It is said that when the author wrote the article, he really had such a brain hole, and he did not explicitly mention the specific box office figures, nor did he specifically predict the specific awards, so why...

Let’s not talk about it, the article has already written almost 40 words, and it’s impossible to change it. I can only say sorry to those readers who stepped on the thunder. Sure enough, no one will read the copywriting mine, right?

——And congratulations to Pudding, you can enjoy New Year's Day happily after the exam!

Ahem~~~~~ So much nonsense, I always just thank you!Dailin bows!mwah!

Today, because the article mentions Christopher Nolan, I will post the profile of Christopher Nolan!

——克里斯托弗·強納森·詹姆斯·诺兰（英语：ChristopherJonathanJamesNolan，英语发音：/noln/，1970年7月30日－）[1]是一名英国男导演、编剧及监制。他的九部电影在全球获得超过42亿美元的票房和囊括26项奥斯卡提名和六项大奖。

His films revolve around concepts in philosophical sociology, exploring human morality, ideas of time and memory.The use of elements of metafiction, time and space changes, solipsism, nonlinear narrative, visual language and narrative elements are also commonly used by Nolan.Nolan prefers to shoot on location rather than indoors, often using practical effects rather than CGI.In addition, he is also a proponent of film film, which is how he used to shoot the film.

——Nolan used his father's Super 8 camera to shoot his own toy soldiers at the age of seven, and started the earliest film creation.As a child living in Chicago, he made short films with future director and producer Rocco Bellik.

Nolan graduated from Haileybury College, an independent college in Hertfordshire, London, and later entered University College London (UCL) to study English literature, where he made a lot of short films. In 1989, the short film "Tarantella" (Tarantella) was screened at ImageUnion, an independent film and video exhibition founded by PBS.Another short, Larceny, was screened at the Cambridge Film Festival in 1996. "Doodlebug," one of his better-known shorts, starred Jeremy Theobald, who also starred in "Following." In 1997, Nolan married Emma Thomas.

Brother Jonathan Nolan is a screenwriter and often collaborates with Christopher.

In 2000, Nolan was nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the 74th Academy Awards and the 59th Golden Globe Awards for "Memento". In 2005, he directed and filmed the movie "Batman: The Mystery of Shadow". In 2006, the directed work "The Prestige" won the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film for its eerie atmosphere and fine structure. In 2008, he won the Best Screenplay Award at the 35th Saturn Awards for the film "The Dark Knight". The film broke multiple North American box office records within a week of its release and became the fourth film with a box office of US$10 billion in the world. In 2012, he directed the series of films "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" again, which was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Director. In 2010, he was nominated for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay at the Golden Globe Awards for "Inception".

----

There is also a small detail here, which Dailin finds very interesting. Before Martin announced the filming of "The Aviator", Nolan had already started preparing the script for the Howard Hughes biopic, and planned to star Jim Carrey.In an interview with "Empire" magazine in July 2005, Nolan once said: "I think I just can't write the script fast enough." So "The Aviator" was filmed, and Nolan's Mr. Hughes project was ultimately aborted. .

Hahahaha, Lin Lin wanted to laugh when I saw this, hey, thanks, otherwise my handsome Hughes would have a miscarriage?

—————Another super super good-looking film that must not be missed, you must say it!Heath Ledger's Joker!

Forever clown!If you like Heath, you must not miss "The Dark Knight"-the following are small tips about the Dark Knight-

In the month since "Batman Begins" was released, Nolan has said several times that he will follow up with a sequel to the film. In late July 2006, it was officially confirmed that Nolan would direct "The Dark Knight" (The Dark Knight), and then Heath Ledger would join it, and he would play the role of the Joker (Batman's arch-nemesis).

The first trailer for the movie, focusing on Heath Ledger's Joker, launches on Dec. 12 alongside the film I Am Legend.In IMAX theaters, "I Am Legend" appeared to be overshadowed by a trailer for "The Dark Knight," featuring the Joker.Actress Katie Holmes, who played Batman's girlfriend Rachel Dawes in Batman Begins, was replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal in this film.Aaron Eckhart (Aaron Eckhart), who once turned down the lead role in "Memento", this time plays "Two Face" Harvey Dent (TwoFaceHarveyDent).Eric Roberts (Eric Roberts) plays the corner of Gotham City underworld boss Sal Maroni (Sal Maroni).Jonathan Nolan wrote the final script from a script by Nolan and David S. Goyer.

Nolan and the cast and crew of "Batman Begins" at the European premiere in London.

The film began production in 2007 and was released nationwide on July 2008, 7. It broke multiple box office records in the United States within a week of its release, and became the fourth film in the world to exceed US$18 billion, and it was also the highest-grossing film in 10.

4366 theaters opened at the same time, creating the record for the largest release (breaking the record of 3 in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4362: At World's End")

Opening box office record of 1850 million at Zero Point (breaking the record of 3 million for "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith")

The fastest record of over 2 million in 3 days (broke the record of "Spider-Man 2", although it was also [-] days, but "The Dark Knight" was faster)

——Then talk about the "Memory Fragments" mentioned in this article

(English: Memento) is a 2000 American thriller film directed by Christopher Nolan, starring Guy Pearce and others.The content of the film is adapted from the short story "Memento Mori" (temporary translation, formerly known as Memento Mori) by Christopher Nolan's younger brother Jonathan Nolan, which ostensibly describes the process of a man suffering from anterograde amnesia looking for the murderer of his wife , In fact, it brought out the procedure of another murder case.

This movie is a very famous brain-burning film, but I personally think it is a little easier to understand than "Mulholland Drive", but the plot is actually more attractive. If you are interested, you can find it and watch it. It is definitely worth recommending!Not as niche as Requiem for a Dream and Mulholland Drive.

What's interesting is that the hero of this film is called Leonardo, hahaha, so it's perfect for our handsome Leon to play the role in the article, this is fate!

As for the leading actress in this film, Kellyanne Moss, hahaha, everyone is not familiar with this name, but everyone will definitely remember the heroine of "The Matrix", yes, she is the cool woman in black !

-------The following is the behind-the-scenes footage of the filming from Baidu Encyclopedia

1. There is a scene in this film that the hero Leonardo passes by a comic shop.We can clearly see a Batman logo on the store window.Christopher Nolan later directed Batman Begins, Batman II: The Dark Knight and Batman III: The Dark Knight Rises.

2. Before Carrie-Anne Moss was determined to play Natalie, movie stars Ashley Judd, Famke Janssen, and Angelina Jolie were all considered objects.

3. When filming Leonardo killing Jimmy, Larry Holden, the actor who played Jimmy, told Guy Pearce to beat him for real.Pierce, the bodybuilder, followed Holden's advice.As you can imagine, Holden was covered in bruises after filming the scene.

4. Before Guy Pearce got the role of Leonardo, movie stars Aaron Eckhart, Brad Pitt, Charlie Sheen, and Thomas Jane were all on the shortlist.

Memory pieces

Memory Fragments (3 photos)

5. The tattoo shop that appears in the film is named after Emma Thomas, who is the wife of director Christopher Nolan and one of the co-producers of the film.

6. Director Christopher Nolan's Honda Civic also appears in the film, parked outside the motel next to protagonist Leonard Shelby's Jaguar.

7. Christopher Nolan's screenplay is based on his brother Jonathan Nolan's novel Death Warning.Since the novel was published after filming was completed, the screenplay is still believed to be Christopher Nolan's original.

8. The filming took only 25 days.

——Alas!Saying that this kind of film is really suffering, because if there are too many introductions, it will be spoiled!Who actually killed the hero's wife? ? ? ?Hahahahaha!Interested in going to the movies!Dailin has seen quite a few movies, and there are absolutely no bad movies to recommend...

——Speaking of bad movies—here I would like to say a good word for director Zhang Yimou. Before Dalin, he had no hope for "The Great Wall" because of all kinds of rumors on the Internet, and he didn't even plan to watch it in theaters. Saw imax, sincerely!It's not easy to shoot like this, the online scolding, I personally feel a bit too much, some of you may be really disappointed with the movie, but are you more scolded by the scolding?It is not easy for Chinese movies to produce such an effect. Spending money to make foreign productions at least shows that I am popular and rich!Hehe~~~ Anyway, I personally think this movie is still worth watching, can it be regarded as a landmark turning point of Chinese blockbusters?I think we should be more tolerant towards domestic filmmakers, after all our appetite has been spoiled by Hollywood blockbusters!Now domestic films are slapping horses to catch up, everyone is always scolding, hit people more, Lao Mouzi scratched his head, I believe your next one will be even better!

There is a lot of nonsense, I don’t know, it’s all Dailin’s personal opinion, if you don’t like it, don’t spray it... Just like Dailin’s prophecy, hey, it’s too late to spray it, and it’s hard to change it...

Then...the next chapter will have new characters appearing!It also has a bit of intersection with God Nolan...

Guess it?

That's right!It's Heath Ledger who played "Brokeback Mountain" and the Joker!I hope Dailin will be in good spirits tomorrow, and I can code out a chapter. Nima has had a fever on and off for so long!I really want to escape from Beijing!It's not Beijing's fault, it's Dai Lin's poor health!Eyes full of tears...
