1454 Chaotic pattern
“The trump card? "Renly knows that Andy has already become a blockbuster without making a sound. So far, their cooperative relationship has always maintained a harmonious and happy relationship, because the two of them have always been on a relatively consistent rhythm when it comes to the balance between business and art. Therefore, Anything that Andy can call his trump card must be worth looking forward to..
Andy didn't deliberately show off, but he only said one name, but the expectation and curiosity revealed were already overflowing, "Christopher Nolan".”
Every era has its own cultural imprint, and every generation also has its own classic worship. Among these cultures, some have withstood the erosion and tempering of time and become true classics that are widely circulated; some Unfortunately, it became mediocre in time and place, but it became the unique memory of that generation..
The former is like the "Star Wars" series, and the latter is like "Growing Pains"”.
It can be said that Christopher Nolan is one of the symbols of film culture in the 21st century, starting from his debut film "The Following", to the maturity of his style in "Memento" and "White Nights", and then to the "Batman" trilogy became widely known, and then "The Prestige" and "Inception" went to the altar, and later there were the self-breakthroughs of "Interstellar" and "Dunkirk"... One step at a time, along the way, Christopher can be said to be It is a solid and steady progress..
In less than twenty years, Christopher has gained countless fans all over the world, and some even consider him to be the greatest director of our time..
Of course, adjectives like "the greatest" are often easy to anger other senior movie fans, and even trigger countless loyal fans who hate Christopher because of this, because "the greatest" is an issue with countless controversies, and it is obviously fashionable to discuss it now Early on, only through the precipitation and erosion of time, and only through the test and temper of the years, can the best create classics, and the top can become great..
Whether Christopher can become a god is undoubtedly worthy of discussion and discussion; but whether Christopher has become a cultural phenomenon is beyond doubt. For this generation of audiences, "Batman: The Dark Knight", The impact and influence of these two works "Inception" are immeasurable.
Renly is no exception.
In fact, in Christopher's works, the director's style outweighs everything else. Even actors such as Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio only remain in the film. It’s just a stylized outline, all other highlights fall on the director.——
The Joker played by Heath Ledger is a special case. The character is a special case, the story is a special case, and the actor is also a special case. The three special cases just collided together to create the most classic comic book villain in film history. This actually has nothing to do with Christopher himself..
During the filming process, Christopher's habit is to set the character's framework and context in advance to ensure that the character can be integrated with the story, shots, and images. The rest of the performance work is left to the actor himself, but he does not need the actor's additional performance. , just like drawing the ground as a prison, just right in the circle, this is enough.
Objectively speaking, Christopher still leaves a certain amount of space for the actors to perform well; but the problem is that Christopher's editing and visual style are too strong, and the story is the top priority, so the audience often easily ignores the actor's performance. importance, more often the focus is on the director's figure hidden behind the screen, so that whether the actor's performance is good or bad, there is not much impression..
In other words, Christopher is not a director who is good at filming actors and training/training actors. It can only be said that he is a director who knows how to use actors..
Despite this, there are still countless actors who hope to cooperate with Christopher. Not for the performance, but for the director's unbridled imagination, which truly maximizes the charm of the film.——
Whether it's "The Dark Knight" or "Inception", or "Memento" and "The Prestige", Christopher uses the art of editing and lensing to construct an illusory and real movie time, which vaguely implies the director's philosophy , thinking and exploration of life, bringing a completely different viewing experience.
This is indeed very rare.
Therefore, having the opportunity to work with Christopher is another charm of working as an actor..
Is Christopher Nolan Renly's favorite director? Maybe not; but is Christopher Nolan one of Renly's favorite directors? There is no doubt about it.
If given the opportunity, Renly also hopes to star in Christopher's works. "The Dark Knight", "Inception" and "Dunkirk" can be regarded as Renly's top three favorite director's works. Once, Renly I was also upset because I regretfully missed "Inception".
Unexpectedly, the name "Christopher Nolan" actually came out of Andy's mouth.
“Wow, are you serious? "Renly did not hide his joy and joy at all, and his words were full of excitement..
On the contrary, Andy remained calm and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "'Nightcrawler' or Nolan, which one would you prefer among these two works?？”
It was just a hypothetical question, but Renly still thought seriously for a moment, "Nolan." Such an answer surprised Andy, "Remember what I told you before? I hope to challenge some more relaxed and different roles..”
“Yes, I remember, you were even willing to challenge the role of a vase in a movie." Andy nodded gently..
“That's what it means." Renly continued, "The script and characters of 'Nightcrawler' are undoubtedly fatally attractive. This is the most exciting acting opportunity for me after 'Crazy Love'; but now, I would rather challenge some roles that subvert myself, whether they are dark villain roles or light-hearted comedy roles. Nolan’s movies are a more suitable choice..”
Andy suddenly realized. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of timing. The influence of "Explosive Drummer" is now more and more obvious on Renly..
“However, the reason why it is said to be a trump card is not because of the name Christopher Nolan, but because everything has not been finalized yet." Andy continued, "The entire plan is still in the preliminary preparation stage. I have it in my hands. There was no script, no project plan, everything was uncertain, I only talked to Christopher once and that was it..”
Renly did not rush to interrupt, but listened patiently..
Andy then explained.
The film project dates back to 2007, when renowned astrophysicist Kip-Thorne and producer Lynda-Obst discussed making a film about black holes. and wormhole movies, constructing the basic theory of the entire story.
Kip is the Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology. As one of the most outstanding scientists in the field of black holes and general relativity, he has long-term relationships with Stephen Hawking and Carl-Sagan. A good friend of Hawking, there is an intuitive example of his status in the industry. In the movie "The Theory of Everything", one of the three mentors who judged whether Hawking's doctoral thesis passed or not was Kip Thorne..
2017Kip Thorne won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
The film project was conceived under Kip's idea. The original intention was to explain the complex concepts of relativity to the public. This was also the purpose he had always hoped to achieve during his tenure at Caltech - to promote science to more ordinary people. public, encourage more people to invest in scientific research.
At that time, Linda Obst found Steven Spielberg, and Steven showed great interest. He found Jonathan Nolan to write the script. At that time, Jonathan had already written the script. He wrote two scripts, "Memento" and "The Prestige". After completing the script for "The Dark Knight", he began to prepare for Steven's project..
After going round and round, the project has never been able to make breakthrough progress, because Kip hopes that the entire story will be based on real and scientific theories..
Kip emphasized that all celestial theories, physical theories and phenomena they guide in the movie must be consistent with science. This not only created many difficulties for Jonathan's script writing, but also raised countless questions for the filming of the movie. Difficulty. This reminds people of the work "Gravity". Without sufficient technical support, it is impossible for the film to be completed, and the same is true for this project..
Eventually, Steven withdrew from the project, and Christopher, who had just finished filming the "Batman" trilogy, took the initiative..
After taking over, Christopher came to Caltech and asked for Kip's help. He spent six months, first in class, then in discussions, and finally in writing the script. After truly constructing all the theoretical knowledge structure, the Nolan brothers The final version of the script was just completed. At this time, it was far different from the original version in 2007..
No matter what, the script has finally been completed, and the technology seems to have reached the corresponding height. Everything is ready, and it seems that it can be put into filming now; but problems have also arisen, and Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures parted ways..
As mentioned before, Christopher Nolan is a direct director discovered by Jeff Robinoff; moreover, all the works he collaborated with Warner Bros. were handled by Thomas Tull..
Now, Robinoff is forced to leave, and Thomas cooperates with Universal Pictures, which also puts Christopher into a dilemma——
Should he still be working with Warner Bros.?？
Now, this project is in a chaotic situation, and there seems to be no way to sort out the ideas in a short period of time. Andy and Christopher had a conversation, and the possibility of Renly joining was mentioned, and Christopher expressed great interest. , but this is all, nothing has been determined, because Christopher himself has no way to completely determine it..
