Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 600 Oni Takeshi: Nolan, you can't escape my grasp! The awards ceremony begins!
Nolan quickly replied modestly, "Not at all, your 'The Sixth Sense' and 'The Silence of the Lambs' are truly rare masterpieces, especially the latter, which I've read five times!"

His expression showed that he wasn't lying, and his gaze towards Oni Takeshi even carried a hint of reverence.

It was clearly from the bottom of his heart.

Oni Takeshi smiled slightly and waved his hand modestly.

The two exchanged pleasantries, creating a harmonious atmosphere, making it impossible to tell that they were the biggest rivals of the night.

However, Nolan and Oni Takeshi standing together attracted a lot of attention from those around them.

These two young men, younger than most of the people present, were the most eye-catching figures tonight.

Both were top contenders for this year's Oscars, and their presence together immediately made them the focus of the entire event.

A reporter seized the opportunity to press the shutter button and capture the scene.

Years later, this photograph was regarded as a testament to "the historic moment of the first meeting between two of the most representative directors from the East and West".

Ignoring the stares of those around him, Oni Takeshi exchanged a few more pleasantries, then, looking at Nolan before him, he suddenly probed:
"I wonder if director Nolan has signed with a company?"

Nolan was taken aback, then honestly replied, "No."

The film *Memento* is adapted from a short story by Nolan's brother, Jonathan Nolan. The brothers wrote the screenplay, and one of the producers, Emma Thomas, later became Nolan's wife.

At the beginning, the film was not well received by the outside world, and major film companies did not take a liking to Nolan, who was then an unknown college student.

This caused him to repeatedly run into obstacles.

Finally, by sheer luck, Top Peak Entertainment took notice and invested in the filming.

But until the film's release, no one expected that it would achieve such success, even putting Nolan, a complete newcomer, on the stage of competing for the Oscar for Best Director!
Even so, Nolan is still a rising star. He may become famous after today, but at this moment, he is not favored by most people except for a few.

It's certainly not enough to attract the favor of those top-level bigwigs.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Summit Entertainment, which recognized Nolan's talent.

Unfortunately, before they could even issue a recruitment notice, Oni no Takeshi suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Compared to Oni Takeshi, Nolan is now just a minor figure, so he has always maintained a very humble attitude.

He had just mustered up his courage before nervously stepping forward.

Oni Takeshi wanted to recruit him, and Nolan was equally eager to get to know him.

Besides, he genuinely admired Oni no Takeshi.

He was a little nervous at first, after all, Oni Takeshi's face looked unapproachable, and he was afraid of being rejected. Unexpectedly, Oni Takeshi's attitude was so kind, which was completely different from his appearance.

Upon hearing his answer, Ono Takeshi thought to himself, "Just as I thought," and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the two worlds were not so different in this respect.

It was precisely because of the difference in their social status that Ono Takeshi didn't beat around the bush and directly extended the invitation:
"Director Nolan, I greatly admire your talent. Would you be willing to join Ghost Wild Pictures?"

Nolan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Aren't we rivals? Why are you suddenly trying to recruit me?

While surprised, Nolan couldn't help but feel flattered.

Although the success of "Memento" was astonishing, Nolan had only made two films and was a complete newcomer, while Takeshi Ono was a top director and capitalist who dominated Hollywood and swept the global film market.

Despite their vastly different social statuses, Ono Takeshi surprised everyone by showing him great respect upon their first meeting.

And the other party was also the first big shot to extend an invitation to him.

As a fellow genius, Nolan felt this particularly strongly.

For a fleeting moment, he even felt an impulse to "die for one who understands him." But fortunately, Nolan was not an impulsive person, and he quickly calmed down and began to think about what the other person had said.

Nolan is no fool; he knows very well that today is his moment of transformation, a chance for him to leap over the dragon gate. Whether he wins an award or not, from now on he will have a place in Hollywood.

There must be quite a few forces extending olive branches to them.

Ono Takeshi is not the only one.

Moreover, in terms of strength, Ono Takeshi is not yet able to stand out.

Nolan hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Seeing this, Oni Takeshi was not disappointed, nor did he try to persuade the other party further. He simply patted Nolan on the shoulder and said in a gentle voice, like a friend:
"Nolan, you can think it over carefully. The door to Ghost Wild Films is always open for you."

Nolan was very grateful for Oni Takeshi's attitude, but he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

He felt ashamed that he harbored resentment despite the other party's high regard for him.

Ono Takeshi didn't mind his attitude; this was perfectly normal, and Ono Takeshi didn't expect the other party to agree immediately.

It is only natural for people to hesitate and deliberate when their own interests are involved.

On the contrary, honest people like Nolan are extremely rare in Hollywood.

Oni Takeshi also valued him more and more.

He wasn't worried that Nolan, this big fish, would get away.

Who in this world, besides him, would know about the other person's future achievements?
Capital is profit-driven, and the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm is natural. Nolan's performance at this moment is indeed amazing, but who can guarantee that he can continue to do so in the future?
In Hollywood, there are quite a few directors who have created films that have amazed the world.

However, very few of them manage to reach the summit.

Spielberg is a prime example.

But who can guarantee that Nolan will be the next Spielberg?

There are many geniuses, but there is only one Spielberg!
What if his talent is just a flash in the pan, and his next movie flops?
Who will pay for the costs incurred?
Wouldn't that be a complete waste of money?
Other companies want to invite Nolan, but this is something they have to consider.

These companies dare not gamble, nor dare they risk everything for Nolan.

But Ono Takeshi was different. Knowing all along how brilliant the other party's future achievements would be, he dared to spare no expense.

It's like everyone opening blind boxes together. Others don't know what's inside, so they hesitate. But Ono Takeshi knows in advance that there's an SSR card inside, so what's there to hesitate about?
The terms he offered were far beyond what other companies could match.

With one side gaining and the other losing, other companies naturally cannot compete with Ono Takeshi.

In this competition for talent, Ono Takeshi already has a huge advantage, so how could he possibly lose?
Therefore, Oni Takeshi is not in a hurry. If Nolan wants to compare prices and wait for the right offer, then let him run into a wall.

Seeing the conditions offered by other companies is how he, Oni Takeshi, can demonstrate his sincerity.
Oni Takeshi was confident that Nolan would be his for the taking sooner or later, and would definitely not escape his grasp!
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before Nolan took his leave.

Watching his retreating figure, Ono Takeshi's lips curled into a smile.

"I bet that guy isn't up to any good!"

Conan glanced at Takeshi Onino, then leaned close to Ai Haibara's ear and whispered something.

But he didn't know that with Oni Takeshi's hearing, he could hear even the faintest sound clearly.

Upon hearing this, she immediately turned her head and glared at Conan.

The latter was taken aback, and quickly gave an awkward smile.

Ono Takeshi didn't have time to argue with this guy, because the awards ceremony had finally begun...
