William Wang has already met two Hollywood directors.
Whether it's the little-known Neil, or the already well-known Nolan, Hollywood directors have always felt more like a businessman than an artist.
But this time, when William Wang met the director named Zack Snyder, he realized that there are still some artists in Hollywood.
And when he read the script of the movie that the director intended to ask him to invest in, he found that his judgment was basically correct.
On the way over, Li Zhina had already shown him the information of the filmmaker who asked him to invest today.
Like Nolan, the director who is filming "Inception", this director also won a special award for best director in the science fiction category called the Saturn Award.
William Wang originally thought that this was a person similar to Nolan before they met, although he had some artist temperament, but he was still a businessman in his bones.
But he was wrong.
"You ...... this movie" "How about an action scene with a group of beautiful girls, it should be a good movie, right?"
Zach said to William Wang with a smile on his face.
"Do I look like an idiot?"
William Wang pointed to himself.
The scene is a bit stiff.
Li Zhina was startled when he heard William Wang's words next to him.
"You......
What do you mean?
Zach was also obviously frightened by William Wang's somewhat frenzied words.
"Nolan introduced you to me?"
William Wang didn't answer that sentence and turned the conversation elsewhere.
"I just heard that he approached you to invest in a film that he wanted to make for several years, and that you played a big role in perfecting the script for that film......"
"Then I'll give you a chance to reintroduce this ...... of yours" William Wang interrupted Zack's praise of himself, "Sailor Girl Strike Team?"
I think you can change your name. ” Be quiet.
"What do you think of this script?"
Zach did not introduce the movie as William Wang said, but asked William Wang rhetorically.
"If I invest in your movie, I don't think I will be able to stay in Hollywood in the future."
William Wang smiled.
Leaned back on the couch.
There were a lot of people in the café, and he looked laid-back like many people.
Although it's not like that. “…… Probably not, right?
Zach was a little embarrassed by William's words.
"What kind of drama is this......"
Li Zhina, who was full of embarrassment next to him, picked up the script and flipped it up.
Look fast.
"It's just a movie with a bit of a chaotic plot logic!
The idea is more interesting, a bit like a video game.
Li Zhina put down the script in his hand.
"You've been tricked by him."
William Wang shook his head.
A serious face. “…… What's going on?
” "The plot of this movie is so dark that it can make a depressed person commit suicide.
Ideas for fun video games?
William Wang smiled.
But the smile quickly faded.
"Most people see the script of this movie and say that the logic is confusing and the plot is absurd, but Mr.
Wang ......"

Zach took over.
The expression is no longer the smile it just had.
It's serious.
"Say, this movie, what the hell do you want to do?"
"If you're not going to invest, forget it."
Zach looked a little disheartened after being seen through, shook his head, picked up the script on the table, and planned to leave.
"Did I say I wouldn't invest?"
William Wang stretched out his hand and gently pressed the script.
Zach was stunned.
"Didn't you say you're worried that investing in this movie will make you can't make it in Hollywood?"
"I'm just trying to figure out what you're sugar-coating this poison for.
If you're doing it with the attitude of having fun, I don't mind playing with you.
But if you have anything else in mind......
I don't want to be caught in the middle of someone's anger. ” "William, what do you mean?"
Li Zhina's unknown place in the fog shrouded by the clouds and mountains next to him.
Already a little annoyed.
"You can rest assured that every year there are many investors of all kinds who play more than this movie, and no one is remembered by some people because of this."
Zach didn't pay attention to Li Zhina, and smiled, "After all, you are the ones who take the money." ” "So, can you guarantee that if you get out of here, no one will get in trouble with me?"
"Of course not!"
Zach smiled and nodded.
"If you weren't mad at my deception, I think you'd be happy to watch me play a game like this."
"Game ......"
William Wang picked up the script again, "Well, a fighting game with ninjas, a war game of World War II, and a game of dragon slaying......
Are you a two-dimensional enthusiast?
” "My first few films were cartoons or film adaptations of cartoons."
Zach explained.
"Moreover, the reason why I made up my mind to persuade you is because I have read a manga with the theme of a witcher made in the island nation by you."
"Interesting."
William Wang smiled.
"How much investment do you want in this play?"
“…… Have you decided to invest?
” "Anyway, I've recently made some money investing in movies, so it's okay to change to a game movie that's not bad."
William Wang said with a smile: "The key depends on how much money you want." ” "In this film, special effects are very important.
Otherwise, there is no way for the audience to stick to the end of this ......
I don't know what to do.
Zach said seriously, "And special effects are very expensive." ” "It's stupid to invest too much money in a game."
William Wang shook his head, "If you ask for too much, I'm unlikely to agree." ” "The guarantee is about 70 million."
Zach said seriously.
"The box office of this film is estimated to not reach this number."
William Wang smiled.
"I've watched you and your team promote District 9."
Zach shook his head, "With your team's words, this movie will fully pay for itself."
After all, I also have a loyal audience. ” "I remember CJ had a stake in DreamWorks?"
William Wang looked at Li Zhina.
"DreamWorks?

What is this for?
” "Isn't this movie going for a lot of special effects?
In order to reduce costs, we may need to find our own people. ” "Then we'll give priority to Legendary Pictures now."
"They have a long-term contract with our partner B for four films over seven years and 40 films.
Including the Inception that is being filmed, we are looking for them. ” "That's ......"
"I'm going to try to keep the production cost as low as possible."
Hearing that William Wang was already talking about very detailed things, Zach immediately showed his sincerity.
"I don't get paid for this movie, if there is a surplus, I will participate in the commission." “…… 70 million investment!
William Wang smiled and sighed.
The return on cost will also cost at least 100 million at the box office. ” "William, what are you talking about?"
Li Zhina was completely stunned next to him.
"This script ......"
"I'll arrange for him to contact you in a few days."
William Wang ignored Li Zhina and said to Zack.
"Okay."
Zach nodded, his face excited.
"I hope this movie doesn't make me lose too much."
William Wang smiled and stretched out his hand.
"I'll try."
Shake hands.
"By the way, can I keep this script?
I think the general manager of our company needs to take a second look at this script.
William Wang shook the script in his hand.
"Of course!
I've heard from friends who know Nolan that you've given a lot of constructive feedback on how to improve his script, and I hope you can give me some similar comments as well.
Zach nodded.
"This ......
If I have the chance, I will.
William Wang smiled and nodded. …… "I said, William, that's how you decided to invest in this film......
Don't you know that during this summer's summer vacation, there are several movies with such plots that are messed up and only have special effects, and they all lose their bottoms?
” In the car from the café back to William Wang's residence, Li Zhina's expression was very serious.
"You introduced me to ......"
"I just heard that he won the Saturn Award like Nolan, and I thought it would be as interesting as Nolan's movie.
But this script ......"
Li Zhina waved the script after getting into the car, and William Wang handed him the script.
"It's just a lump of flying."
"You've read the script for Inception, right?"
"Of course, it's much better than this......"
"Do you have an idea of multiple dreams?"
"Is it the one who dreamed in a dream and a dream?"
Li Zhi was stunned, "I probably read it, but I don't particularly understand why it can affect people's subconscious." ” "Don't mind the subconscious, that's a gimmick Nolan made for the market."
William Wang shook his head, "What do you think of this script......
How many worlds are there?
” “…… What do you mean?
Aren't there just two?

A realistic world where she is sent to a mental hospital and then forced to dance to please the rich, and the game world that the heroine enters once she starts dancing. ” "You'll see when you go back."
William Wang shook his head.
Laughed.
Be quiet.
"What do you mean?"
"In that dancing world you mentioned......
William Wang looked out the window, "the spinning top will never stop!"
