Start by trimming cow hooves

It was Christmas Eve last year.

While Suri was traveling, the movie "Inception" also held a grand premiere ceremony at the Huaxia Theater on the Avenue of Stars.

With his influence, coupled with the fame of director Christopher Nolan and actor DiCaprio, many first- and second-tier stars came to support the film.

Many actors have taken advantage of the situation. In the past, they could care less about small screen dramas and ignored Netflix entertainment.

But today is different from the past.

The news that Suri was frantically recruiting screenwriters and preparing more than a dozen film projects in a row has spread in Hollywood for several months. It has been known to everyone for a long time. Countless people are waiting eagerly and paying attention to the news about auditions.

Whether a young actor can be selected depends entirely on luck. If you want to win some important roles, you need a little extra effort.

Suri's temperament and character are basically well understood. The closer you are to him, the easier it is to get important roles.

For example, Ashton Kutcher, "Star-Lord" Chris Pratt, Bradley Cooper and others all got opportunities and became famous because they were Suri's poker friends.

Even Talia, an outsider, was brought into the industry by Suri, the owner of Lanai Island, because of her beauty. Her resources are so good that many second-tier actresses are jealous.

Now Talia not only became the heroine of the "Bad Thief" movie and successfully received a salary of 4.5 million US dollars, she also played a supporting role in "The Vampire Diaries" and the new drama "Holy Grail".

This group of actors who have been waiting eagerly for opportunities all day long regret that they failed to "invest" in Suri in advance and missed the opportunity to get close.

In their eyes, although Daju Film Company was founded just two years ago, in terms of recent film investment scale, it is no worse than established giants such as MGM and Paramount, and it has full potential.

Let’s not mention anything else.

At the very least, he helped Suri film movies, making everyone famous and famous. There were many new actors and outdated actors, and they all benefited a lot because of him.

In addition, Suri is still competing with traditional film and television and media industry giants, winning by a large margin, even forcing companies such as Universal, Time Warner, and Disney to pick up scraps in the online TV industry, leaving countless people Jaw dropped.

The "Death is Coming" series launched by Daju Film Company has grossed more than US$790 million at the global box office.

"Little Wish", which was released during the summer vacation last year, also performed very well, and it can be said to have initially built up the company's reputation.

This prevented anyone from being stupid and actually cooperating with the old giants and jumping out to confront Suri.

After attending the premiere of "Inception", a large number of celebrities publicly praised it, saying how shocking, interesting and novel its plot was, which helped attract a lot of attention.

The theaters were also very cooperative and gave the film the highest film scheduling rate in the entire Christmas season.

Suri's "invincible myth" did not disappoint them. "Inception" was a hit and a hit as soon as it was released.

Christopher Nolan is the director, DiCaprio plays the male protagonist, coupled with Daddario, the sexy female protagonist, and Suri, who is responsible for conceiving the script, the luxurious lineup they form is no better than last year's "Atlan". "Theis Project" was poor, and its box office appeal was so strong that it made its rivals released in the same period despair.

Maybe it's the "face fruit" that works again.

When this "Inception" was submitted for review in China, it actually succeeded in not making any cuts, with only some minor flaws in violence, but it was turned a blind eye.

Suri felt that the movie's plot of bullying the Japanese chaebol might have helped during the trial process.

If a disaster film similar to "The Sinking of Japan" were made, it might not only be easy to pass the censorship, but it could also organize primary and secondary school students to watch the film together, and then write a few hundred words of their thoughts after watching it.

Due to the time difference, "Inception" premiered slightly earlier in China than in North America. The entire Greater China region has already contributed approximately US$130 million to the box office.

It can be said that from filming to release, director Christopher Nolan and the producers never let Suri worry, and the whole process seemed so smooth and smooth.

To this day.

"Inception", which has been released for more than two months, is still able to bring in about 10 million U.S. dollars in box office every week, and the total global box office has successfully exceeded 1.2 billion U.S. dollars.

Compared with the total production and publicity costs of approximately US$120 million, this project casually invested by Suri undoubtedly made a huge profit.

The current gross profit is about 450 million US dollars, and it continues to increase every day. It will also bring some additional income in the future, including video rental, digital version licensing, etc.

It is precisely because "Inception" made too much profit.

Like other Hollywood studios, Suri began to worry about how to do its accounts.

It is not difficult to find someone to do the accounting. What is difficult is how to minimize the taxes paid through legal means.

In order to increase the company's expenses, many film projects may have to start shooting in advance, in order to turn profits into losses on the company's books by the end of the year.

to this end.

Suri made an appointment to meet with director Christopher Nolan at the Musso-Frank Grill, which opened in 1919.

When they first met, before Director Nolan had time to pick up the menu, he heard Su Rui get straight to the point and ask:

"I saw the photos you took some time ago from your Facebook page. You were on vacation in an Amish settlement. Have you had enough rest? Can you continue to work recently? You will definitely be interested in my script. "

Although the Amish live in the United States, they refuse to use electricity, cars, etc., and live a life without competing with the world.

Director Christopher Nolan shook his head and said with emotion:

"I originally planned to stay for a month, but ended up staying for only 10 days. Many Amish people have begun to use electric lights, washing machines, mobile phones and computers. Like the Eskimos, they are gradually losing their traditional characteristics."

Seeing that he didn't respond, Su Rui handed over the script directly and continued:

"If primitive life was really that interesting, human beings would not pursue technological development, and religion should keep pace with the times, otherwise it will only gradually fall behind."

There is no idea of ​​​​making a new movie in the short term, but Suri has already submitted the script, so it would be very disrespectful to reject it directly.

Director Nolan put down the menu, took out the script, took a look at it, and found "The Martian" written on the cover.

As Suri said, he was indeed a little interested, and then he discovered that there was another script under the script of "The Martian" called "Interstellar."

This made Director Nolan slightly speechless and said:

"Are you going to learn from "Star Wars" and create your own science fiction series? Why are there two scripts with the same theme? I have never made a space-type movie, George Lucas Sir is very good at this."

Suri smiled and said:

"They are all yours. If you make these two movies within three years, I will give you 30 million US dollars..." (End of Chapter)
