In his heart, Christopher Nolan actually prefers to control the crew and shoot and produce his own videos according to his own ideas. Of course, he also knows very well how much it takes to be arrogant and arrogant. This is the reason why he is caught in a brainstorm.

No one can turn down Warner Bros., especially for a director, the temptation of working with Warner Bros. is, in some ways, far exceeds other Hollywood film companies.

This is the first of the six major film giants in Hollywood. What is commendable is that this company treats co-directors very well. Not to mention it, Wayne was given a free creative environment by Warner Bros. because he demonstrated his talent and ability.

Perhaps ten years ago, Warner Bros. was not as attractive to directors as it is now. After all, the first film giant, the most often joked by people in the circle, was that they were in charge of grassroots chaos and liked to intervene in crews of their major projects. But as long as they intervened in the projects, they basically did not get a good end.

The executives are not wrong. So, if the project fails to achieve the expected results in the end, the only one who is wrong is the person in charge, producer and director of the project.

However, in recent years, since the Meritor Ceo Jeff Robinoff took office, this company has rarely heard similar rumors. They mainly focus on sequels and attach importance to improving the concept of building offline peripheral channels, which has also made this company the top revenue of Hollywood for many years.

"Mr. Greenberg."

He picked up the slightly cold coffee, looked up and took a big sip. Christopher Nolan turned his head seriously and looked at the man next to him who was about his age. "If you invested in me, would you give me the later rights to the project?"

"interesting."

When he heard the other party’s question, Wayne nodded slowly and said with interest: “It seems that you know a lot about the operating rules of Hollywood, so I will say it clearly. Even if the script is written by you, the lens material is shot by you, and even the entire crew’s operation is the responsibility of you alone, but after work, you can only get the editing advice at most!”

Speaking of this, while observing the change of the other person's face, he leaned into the sofa and placed his left leg on his right leg. "Since you have some understanding of Hollywood, you should know that even the right to edit is definitely not what you want. Chris, you need to prove your ability to everyone first."

The fact is so cruel. Even if ten thousand people say you are a genius, you can only act according to the rules of Hollywood before you prove your abilities.

It’s not that I am optimistic about your projects and abilities, so I give you rights beyond the scope in advance, that’s impossible. Hollywood is covered with the halo of film art. In fact, this is the most rigorous commercial society. The director is shooting lens materials. As for editing, soundtracks and other post-production work, it is the scope of the producer’s work.

Leaving professional things to professionals is the underlying logic of a mature business society. When directors participate in later work, it is very likely that they will edit videos according to their own ideas for the so-called "artistic pursuit". But producers will never do it. They only respect market demand and will only make films according to market demand.

"Can I go back and think about it?"

It is obvious that all three choices are very helpful to Christopher Nolan, who really doesn't want to waste opportunities that may affect his life trajectory.

“Ok.”

Wayne nodded happily, lighted his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, lit it one by one. "But there is not much time left for you, and I will soon join the "Superman" crew and start the official filming work. If you want to join my team, you must join the group as soon as possible to get familiar with the work."

"At three days at most, I will definitely give you an answer."

Christopher Nolan, who was worried, walked out of the manor and got into the agent's car. He didn't say anything along the way.

Faced with the silence of his client, even though the agent was eager to know the process of this meeting, he still did not ask. However, looking at his client's face, he was very suspicious of this rare opportunity, and he might have to leave.

When passing by a cafe, Christopher Nolan signaled the agent to park the car and go in and sit down together.

"That's how it is. Although I don't know what he really appreciates about me, he did give me three very good choices..."

Listening to him finishing the brief meeting, even the agent's doubts suppressed the ecstasy in his heart.

Just as his client said, Hollywood big shots like Wayne Greenberg have no time or reason to know his client, but the other party showed a strong appreciation for him, which is actually unreasonable.

"Chris, what are you hesitating about, promise him to join his behind-the-scenes team, and this will be your best starting point in Hollywood."

Looking at the client who was drinking coffee silently, the agent suppressed all his doubts and advised: "One thing is certain that there is something Wayne Greenberg admires. At least he thinks that you can help his work, which is enough.

Chris, give up the script of "Memory Fragments" in his hand. Even if this project is filmed and produced, what kind of results can you achieve in the end? A box office of 10 million US dollars? A $20 million US dollars? A $25 million US dollars?

But even if you can get such an exaggerated result, you will definitely not be able to join the other party’s crew directly, which will be helpful to your subsequent career.”

Seeing that Christopher Nolan didn't say a word, the agent was very anxious, and he had to continue to persuade: "Listen, Chris and Wayne Greenberg's attitude towards his own people has always had a strong reputation in the circle, and his style of hosting the crew has always been known for being selfless.

He is not a director who does everything big and small, but he is more similar to Steven Spielberg. His working style of directors like them will never lack the opportunity to learn.

Think about it, don’t you want to try it out and command a crew of more than 200 people? You can learn enough by joining his team.”

"Okay, okay..."

Christopher Nolan shook his head with a wry smile. Obviously, from that perspective, joining Wayne Greenberg's team is the best opportunity for him.

As the agent said, from the shooting speed of Wayne Greenberg, it can be seen that the other party is not a director who has to catch all things big and big.

This is very important because when making a movie, it is like wading a muddy water. Directors like Wayne will pull all the relevant staff into this muddy water at the beginning of the project and let everyone walk step by step together.

It is precisely a director like him, who is more like a combination of producers and directors. To put it bluntly, he is like a foreman. He directs the large construction site of the set, and all departments operate together, and through tedious cooperation and rigorous work plans, he creates the ideal video.

In fact, the more famous one is another type of director. For example, Quentin Tarantino in Hollywood, and Jiang Xiaojun from the East, these directors have one thing in common. They will think clearly and understand all the issues they can consider before the filming of the movie begins, and even artists have to handle it themselves.

Directors like this usually take several years to shoot a movie, and after the filming starts, they prefer that everything is at ease with their own hands.

These two types of directors can be said to be two extremes, and there is no good or bad. However, working in the former team can get more opportunities for learning and training, which is certain.

"I'll contact Wayne Greenberg's assistant as soon as possible, you're ready. I heard that the project "Superman" has a crew of hundreds of people, and I'm waiting for Wayne to join the crew to host the filming..."

When the agent saw him nodding and agreed, he immediately took out a phone call to broadcast it, but then he stopped his hands and his scattered advice. "Chris, did Wayne Greenberg say, what will you arrange for you to do after you join the group?"

"Well..."

This question from the agent made Christopher Nolan stunned. Yes, where will he be in after joining the other party’s team?

He has always ignored this very important issue. If he gave himself an assistant director or executive director, even if the photographer's job is fine, if he was an assistant director or other job, wouldn't he be ruined?

"A little later, I'm going to contact Wayne Greenberg..."

Greenberg Manor, since Christopher Nolan left, Wayne even had breakfast and took two actresses to lie on the lawn to enjoy sunbathing, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It is obvious that whether it is the two actresses who have been observing him, Nina, who knows him very well, or even the butler Hela, they all find that their boss is in a very good mood now.

"Boss, do you think of that British man?" the assistant lady asked casually.

"Many of his ideas about movies are very similar to mine." Wayne nodded, leaned leisurely on the lounge chair with a cigarette in his mouth, and said, "Well, this is a very talented director."

Hearing his comments, even Cameron Diaz, who was beside him, unconsciously took off his large stuck sunglasses from his face and turned his head curiously to look at Wayne.

As a woman who has been around the other party for several years, she knows it very well. Although this man seems to be polite and gentle to everyone, in fact, the other party is extremely arrogant. In recent years, the last talent behind the scenes who have received such evaluation from him is Zach Schneider.

“What about Zach?”

Apparently, Nina thought of this, and blurted out and asked.

Zach Schneider, a director recognized by the Hollywood film industry, who is in line with Wayne's style, scale, and habits, has received high praise from inside and outside the circle in recent years.

Many people even swear that if Zach Schneider is given enough creative freedom, he will be a shrinking version of Wayne Greenberg.

"It's different. Christopher Nolan's many ideas and ideas are more in line with me than Zach..."
