Chapter 26 The Nolan Brothers

"What? Zhuke, do you know these two young boys?"

Condy, sitting beside him, saw Zhuke staring at the two young men with interest and playing.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke denied it on the spot.

Just kidding, how could Zhuke know them now?

Of course, the previous life didn't count.

These two brothers are not famous yet, but in ten years, no one in Hollywood will not know the name of their two brothers!

The older brother is Christopher Nolan;

The younger brother is Jonathan Nolan.

Especially Christopher Nolan, as his brother, has a future that will be resounding all over the world.

Which one of the films such as "Batman Dark Knight" trilogy, "Inception", "Interstellar" and other films is not a household name?

As a director, even in China, some netizens call him Nolan the master.

Of course, "Dunkirk" released in China, forgot it, it's okay not to mention it. It's just a history of British people defeated and escaped. It was filmed as a strategic retreat like a victory, and was boycotted by many domestic netizens. Well, Zucker himself doesn't like it either.

The younger brother Jonathan Nolan is a writer and screenwriter. Although his name is not as good as his brother, the adaptation of "Batman Dark Knight" also shows his extraordinary strength.

“Huh?”

"No, Zuc!"

"I know you, but you have a personality that is not profitable and cannot afford to get up early. These two brothers seem to be ordinary people. Can they attract your attention?"

"Does they have special identities?"

Condy began to talk and guess on the side. Even Victor and Martha next to her became curious.

"hehe!"

Zhuke deliberately looked at Kangdi with a rather disdainful look, with a look of "You are very childish". This expression made Kangdi angry.

At the moment, Zhuke ignored Condy, but stood up and walked straight to the Nolan brothers.

"Uh...Hello sir, is there anything?" Christopher Nolan looked at Zucker in confusion.

"Hello two, I am Juke Wald, the owner of a Hollywood film and television production company. I just heard you discuss movies and shooting techniques. If I guess correctly, you hope to work in film and television production in the future. If possible, I don't mind providing jobs for both of you. Oh, this is my business card, with a phone number on it. Don't look at me like this. I'm not a liar. You can call to verify it." Juke said.

Hearing this, the Nolan brothers were all stunned.

The owner of Hollywood Film Company?

So young?

That's right, even if Zucker provided the business card, the two brothers still thought Zucker was a liar. It's not their fault that they would suspect that Zucker was too young.

Anyone who is a normal person will have this warning.

"Uh, I'm glad to meet you."

Even if the Nolan brothers suspected that Zhuke was a liar, they did not expose it directly at the moment.

Then the three of them chatted a little more, until Victor, Condy and Martha came over to explain, and they believed that Zucker was really the owner of a Hollywood film company.

Didn't deceive them!

From his words, Zucker also knew why the Nolan brothers were at the airport.

Christopher Nolan, 25, is now studying British literature at University College London; and as his younger brother, Jonathan Nolan, who is only 20 years old, is studying at Georgetown University in Washington. This time he flew over from America to see his brother.

After a while.

Martha suddenly reminded: "Boss, our plane is about to take off."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke said regretfully: "oh, this damn plane took off at this time. I'm sorry I can't talk more. Well, I took the liberty to ask, can you both leave a phone number? Of course, what I mean is that if you two have the aspirations to enter Hollywood, please contact me! Remember! Remember!"

"Thanks!"

Brother Nolan quickly thanked him and looked a little excited.

Both of them are still young people now, and are not the great masters of the future. How can they not be excited if a Hollywood film company boss values ​​them so much?

If Christopher Nolan, who was the older brother, was filming the movie "Following" and had not graduated yet, he would probably have followed Zucker to Hollywood.

"The movie "Following"? If you complete the film, come to Hollywood to find me directly, and I will arrange it for you." Zhu Ke was very generous.

"Following" is Nolan's Virgo.

Zhuke had known about it in his previous life, and the cost was less than $6,000, and the box office was not high, only more than $400,000.

However, after Nolan entered Hollywood in 2000, his first film "Memory Fragments" directed by him cost $500, earned more than $39 million worldwide box office, and won the Saturn Award for Best Action/Adventure Film and two Oscar nominations, which was a hit in one fell swoop.

Faced with Zhuke who performed generously, the Nolan brothers expressed their gratitude again and stated that they would definitely go to Hollywood to find Zhuke in the future.

.........

After returning to Los Angeles, everyone went home.

Zhuke was not idle either. In order to raise funds for the filming of "Spider-Man", Zhuke was fighting hard, using all the means he could use to make money by making life.

Just ten days later, the rookie director Zhu Ke actually tinkered with four scripts in one breath, namely "The Deadly Bend", "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural Sense", "The Hard Candy of Fruit" and "Juno".

Of course, the four scripts are all roughly written versions, and the company's screenwriter also needs to be further refined and supplemented.

The system was pretending to be dead, and Zucker could only bite his teeth.

The ten-day retreat almost exhausted Zhuke. The four movies that Zhuke chose have one thing in common, that is, the cost is low and suitable for the current Wald Pictures.

1. The "Deadly Bend" series of movies is a typical example of Hollywood plasma horror movies in the 21st century.

The content of the movies in this series is roughly the same, it is nothing more than a group of young Americans who are dying about death. They go out to play in the wild, encounter forest ogres, and then are crazily tortured to death by tools such as wire, tree trunks, kitchen knives, and are eaten.

“I remember that every movie in the series costs no more than $2 million, or less.”

“It can be given priority.”

In fact, Zucker does not remember the box office after the release of "The Deadly Behind 1", but before Zucker traveled through time, he watched eight movies in the series.

It is enough to show that the "Deadly Bend" series is profitable!

"The Sixth Sense of Supernaturalness" is even more outstanding.

Although its shooting cost is a little higher, it is the second-place movie in North America's annual box office rankings in 1999. It has a box office of $293 million, a global box office of $670 million, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture.

"The box office is envious, but I have no money! Let's put it aside first."

"Hard Fruit Candy" is also a small-cost movie, which is expected to cost less than $1 million.

The movie is actually not famous, and the final box office is only more than 6 million US dollars. However, as a niche movie, it also has a considerable influence. The movie is mainly similar to the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. However, the movie is a story of Little Red Riding Hood fighting against the Big Bad Wolf and castrating it.

"Well, the cost is low and the difficulty is small, so you can consider it."

"Juno" is quite famous, mainly telling the story of a minor woman who is pregnant before marriage. Once released in 2007, it caused widespread discussion.

The box office is even more crazy!

The filming of the film took only 35 days and the investment cost was US$6.5 million, but it harvested $230 million in box office worldwide.
