"The work that has been conceived" Nolan was stunned, he only had such a follower in his hand now, and the film was not even sure if it could be released, how could he have the heart to conceive a new work He was about to tell the truth, but Emma next to him suddenly kicked him. { "Yes, we do have the idea of a new film in our hands now, but we have been busy following this film for a long time recently, and if Mr.
Litt needs it, we can get the script out in the shortest possible time, three months, two months."
Emma looked at Litt expectantly, but Nolan couldn't sit still on the side, he looked at his wife frequently, his eyes looked a little anxious.
Li Teh clasped his hands, frowned slightly, and said: "Isn't two months too hasty I mean, under normal circumstances, it takes at least a year for an excellent idea to turn from a concept to a script, and I'm not in a particular hurry here, so you don't have to be too anxious, the key is that the story idea you just mentioned is really as good as you said."
Littlet wasn't sure if Nolan had already started working on the movie at this time, so he deliberately extended the time, but just because he wasn't in a hurry doesn't mean Emma wasn't in a hurry.
In the conversation just now, MacDonald has made it clear that he can buy and follow the film and promote its release in the future, but only if Nolan can be liked by Little.
If Nolan can't become famous in the future, it will be worthless as a follower of his debut film, on the contrary, if Nolan can really become a big director like Litte said in the future, the film will have the value of buying.
Emma has been running around for the film for more than half a year, meeting with countless studios, and only MacDonald has shown some interest in the film, so she must seize this opportunity. g The benefits of Nolan's future development.
These things were too far away for her to even think about more.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."
Nolan got up suddenly, glanced at his wife with some dissatisfaction, and turned away.
Leeter and MacDonald looked at each other and pouted at each other.
Seeing this, Emma also stood up, said sorry to the two of them, and chased after them.
"You shouldn't have said that," Nolan and Emma stood facing each other in the aisle outside the bathroom, "I don't have any ideas for a new film at all, and you're lying to the other party when you say that, maybe you'll say."
It's nothing, half a year is enough time for us to come up with a new script, but you think Leet is so easy to deal with, his attitude just now is actually very clear, if we don't come up with that idea now and impress him, then all his promises will not count."
The more Nolan spoke, the more emotional he became, and in the end Emma had to raise her hands and try to persuade him to calm down.
"You think I'm talking about it" "I didn't mean that.
I just wanted to say" "No need to explain, that's what you mean," Emma interrupted Nolan unceremoniously, "but I'll warn you, I'm not talking nonsense.
Have you forgotten Jonathan's unpublished novel, the last time he told you about it, I used to say that this story would definitely be a good film if it were made into a movie, and that's what you said at the time, I'm not mistaken."
Nolan was stunned.
He did say that, but at the time he just said it casually, and he didn't mean to take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, Emma took this seriously.
"Since you think that story is good, why don't you adapt it into a movie," Emma asked rhetorically.
Nolan couldn't help but waver, but he was still a little worried.
"Are you sure Leet will approve of this story?"
Emma looked at Nolan intently, "He just watched and followed and came to you, which shows that he must have a unique appreciation for you, we take out this story, whether it can be recognized by him is one thing, but it is another thing to prove our sincerity, even if he is not satisfied with the story, but he will be very satisfied with you, so maybe he has the right script in his hand and will consider you to be a director, so that it is not one step closer to your dream of being a real film director" Nolan's eyes flashed with a hint of struggle, but he finally nodded.
The husband and wife reached an agreement and returned to their seats together.
Li Tee put down the coffee cup in his hand and asked with a smile, "It's all talked" A hint of embarrassment flashed across Nolan's face, and he knew that his excuse to go to the bathroom had been seen through by Leeter.
Emma didn't rush to explain, just gave Nolan an encouraging look.
Nolan thought about his words for a moment and said, "Mr.
Leeter, when it comes to the idea of a new film, I do have an idea in my hands, but first I have to state that the source of this idea is not my original, but my brother Jonathan, who is a writer, some time ago he conceived a story and then brought it up to us at a party, and I thought it was a good idea at the time, so I joked with him that maybe I could make it into a movie." ” Litte nodded after listening.
"Thank you Mr.
Nolan for your honesty, this situation is actually very common in Hollywood, especially in AG, among the eight directors signed by the company at present, except for Rob Cohen and Stephen Sommus, the remaining six are brothers, they are the Wachowski brothers, the Ferrari brothers and the Coen brothers, so I also very much welcome another pair of Nolan brothers on this list in the future."
Nolan excitedly swapped colors with his wife before Emma interjected, "I think Jonathan will be overjoyed to hear this." ” "Now," Litt said, glancing at Mr. and Mrs.
Nolan, "can you tell me what kind of story this is?"
"The story is not complicated, it is mainly about the process of a man suffering from short-term memory loss to find the murderer of his wife.
One of the biggest highlights is the hero's fragmented memories, which makes it difficult for him to track down the murderer, because he can only recall the past with bits and pieces such as tattoos and polaroid snapshots, and whenever he finds some valuable clues, he must use all methods to record them immediately, because it is likely that after ten minutes, he will not be able to remember where he is or what he came to do. ” Litt listened attentively, but MacDonald on the side couldn't help frowning.
The story doesn't seem to be as wonderful as it seems, at least MacDonald doesn't find the setting very appealing, even a little confusing, of course, it's just from a commercial point of view.
As for thinking about it from an artistic point of view, it's not something that a profit-seeking filmmaker like Macdonald often thinks about.
MacDonald's performance left Nolan, who was telling the story, a little uncertain, but Leett's reaction was much more than he expected.
"And then" Leeter's urging brought Nolan back to his senses, and at the same time realized that he was the protagonist of today's conversation, and convincing him was equivalent to convincing MacDonald.
The male protagonist wants to avenge his wife, but he doesn't remember that he has actually killed the murderer, and he has to find another person with the same name to continue to take revenge.
A policeman takes advantage of this and uses the male protagonist to kill his enemy, and the male protagonist realizes this later and finally kills the policeman. ” Macdonald tilted his head to Leett's side and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "With all due respect, this story seems bland in all respects, except for the fact that the male protagonist is a little creative with short-term memory loss." ” "But don't you think this story has found a coherent rehash of the kind of radical reverse narrative technique that Nolan showed in following this film, arranging the details of the flashback story requires special thinking, and finding a story that fits the framework requires inspiration, which in my opinion is a very rare thing."
Leet briefly introduced his idea to MacDonald, and he didn't plan to convince the other party at this time, because unless the film is made, some things are really difficult to explain.
And in this world, no one can clear the value of this film more than Little.

Although the performance of memory fragments at the box office is not worth mentioning compared to Nolan's later works, Litt has always felt that this is Nolan's best film In the film, Nolan uses an unprecedented reverse order to create the atmosphere of "fragmented" memory, allowing the audience to deeply experience the broken life and inner feelings of the male protagonist, and in this atmosphere, the audience will easily be substituted into it, and follow the male protagonist to find the so-called truth in the movie.
"If self-deception is what makes me happy, I choose to live like this."
Li Te carefully reflected on Nolan's last words, and couldn't help but nod.
Nolan was shocked, because he didn't expect that from the simple plot concept, Li Te had accurately grasped the essence of the whole story, and then he suddenly felt how correct it was to follow his wife's advice just now.
"There is always a reason for us to live in this world, otherwise it will be schizophrenic.
But what we insist on may be just an illusion in our own illusions.
Wake up looking at the ceiling and asking yourself: who am I and why am I here.
And then you start to recall, and when the fragments of those memories are pieced together little by little, and a complete reality that may not be objective is presented in front of you, the assumption of whether you are afraid at this time is what fascinates me with this story. ” t1706231537:
