    "Jonathan, I have some good news for you. Mr. Donner has agreed to buy "Following". Maybe we will be able to see this movie in the cinema soon." Christopher Nolan held the microphone under his chin and glanced at the movie.  Wife Emma changing clothes.  "Okay, I'll talk to you in detail when I get back from the meeting. We're about to leave now." Emma was applying lipstick in front of the mirror. When she heard her husband hanging up the phone, she turned around and looked at him helplessly.  Said: "You shouldn't tell Jonathan the news so early. Mr. Donner asked us to meet again. It may be that he agreed to buy the movie, but it may also be that he refused." Nolan came over and hugged his wife, placing a kiss on her forehead.  Kissed.  "Maybe we should think about things in a better direction." Emma leaned her head in her husband's arms, "I want that too, but as the producer of this movie, I have to take all aspects into consideration.  Nolan patted his wife on the back and comforted him: "Don't worry, it will work out this time." The couple hugged each other for a moment. After they separated, Emma helped Nolan tidy up his tie and carried a briefcase.  , the two of them went out together and drove to the cafe where they had made an appointment to meet Macdonald.  Li Te and Mike Donnell arrived a few minutes earlier, and while the Nolans were still on the way, they were already sitting in the cafe.  "Mr. Little, I'm curious. With so many films participating in the Chicago Film Festival, why did you only choose "The Following"?" "Correction. Regarding the film "The Following," Mr. Downer and I  You have the same idea. The only commendable thing about this film is that it successfully brings out the directorial talent of Christopher Nolan. Everyone who watches this film may think that it is a cool black and white film, but.  It is a pity that the possibility of this film being released in theaters is almost zero. I am afraid that the market value can only be reflected in the DVD market, but I guess that is also very limited." Li Te was holding the coffee and shrugged casually.  .  Mike Donnell, who was sitting across from him, was deep in thought.  Litte then added: "Of course there is a possibility that this film can bring benefits to Mr. Donner, that is, when Christopher Nolan becomes a real big director in the future. I think his directorial debut should have some  People are interested. At that time, whether it is to re-release the film or directly sell the rights to others, I think there will be people willing to pay for it. "McDonald was a little puzzled, "Just because of "Following".  Mr. Li Te can be so sure that Christopher Nolan will succeed in the future? "Otherwise, what do you think I am doing sitting here? Wasting everyone's time?" Li Te smiled and took a sip of coffee.  "I believe in my own vision. Christopher Nolan's name will definitely be on the list of top Hollywood directors in the future, and I believe that this day will not be too far away. Maybe in three or four years, this will become a reality." As he said,  Nolan and his wife Emma opened the door and walked in.  Because the seat he was sitting was facing that direction, Li Te spotted the two people almost immediately, but he only recognized Nolan and was not very familiar with Emma beside him.  "Didn't you say that you only dated Nolan? Who was the woman who came in with him?" Mike Donnell turned his head to look, and his eyes met Nolan's.  "There they are!" Nolan pointed this way.  Then get ready to walk over here.  "Wait a minute, Mr. Donner seems to have made an appointment with someone else. Will we disturb him if we go there like this?" Emma was attentive.  Nolan said loudly to remind him.  "The time for his appointment with me is coming soon. We shouldn't arrange meetings with other people at this time. That person may be his assistant." As soon as Nolan said this guess, he saw Mike Donnell waving at him over there.  beckoned.  "Look, am I right?" Nolan looked back at his wife proudly.  "Maybe." Emma still had a doubtful expression in her eyes, because she always felt that the Chinese man next to MacDonald looked familiar.  Here, Mike Donnell turned back.  He shrugged towards Li Te.  "Christopher Nolan's wife is also the producer of "Following." A very difficult woman." Nolan's wife?  Li Te was stunned for a moment. Nolan was only a few years older than him. He thought Nolan was not married at this time.  Of course, an accident is an accident, but Li Te has been famous for Nolan's wife for a long time.  Many of Nolan¡¯s famous works in later generations were produced and written by NolanIt is Nolan, and the director is also Nolan. It can easily give the audience the illusion that these are all one person. In fact, it is three people - Nolan himself, Nolan's brother, and Nolan's wife.  Usually, Nolan himself is the director, his brother Jonathan is the screenwriter, and his wife Emma is the producer. It is such a family-run combination that has successively produced several movies with box office exceeding hundreds of millions of dollars in later generations.  A blockbuster that puts many professional teams with strong lineups to shame.  Li Te thought he would only meet Nolan today, but he didn¡¯t expect that his wife Emma would also show up.  While Li Te was stunned, MacDonald had already stood up and greeted the Nolans who came over.  "Emma, ??I didn't expect you to come here too. I have to say that the relationship between you and your husband is really good." Mike Donnell's words were a bit of a squeeze on Emma, ??because her unexpected appearance made him lose his temper in front of Li Te.  To save face, Emma didn't care about it, because all her attention at the moment was focused on Li Te, who had just stood up.  Before Li Te could take the initiative to speak, Emma's hand had already been handed over.  "If I'm not mistaken, you should be Mr. Li Te from AMG!" "It seems that Mrs. Nolan must have read less newspapers recently!" Li Te replied humorously.  The two looked at each other and smiled, but Nolan, who was standing next to him, was still confused.  "Donner and I met in the hotel lobby yesterday, and he happened to say that he was going to meet an excellent director today. Under his strong suggestion, I came with him, so I am just a spectator today. You guys talk first.  !¡± Li Te didn¡¯t want to dominate the conversation right away, so he brought the topic to Mike Donnell.  Although Emma expressed doubts about this, she had to nod obediently. Then she lowered her voice and explained Li Te's identity to Nolan. Nolan's eyes widened, obviously very surprised by Li Te's appearance.  .  The two parties sat down together, and MacDonald took the initiative to stir up the conversation and talked about his thoughts on the film "Following".  "Originally, I asked you to come over today, Mr. Nolan, to tell you some bad news, because I had already planned to give up on the film "Following" because to be honest, although the film was very thoughtful, the market prospect was almost  "Zero." Upon hearing this, the faces of Nolan and his wife changed colors. Nolan looked anxious, while Emma showed a somewhat confused expression.  "But now I have changed my mind, because Mr. Little is also paying attention to your movie. He persuaded me to buy your movie, and he just assured me that Mr. Nolan will definitely become a Hollywood star in the future.  Famous director, if I buy your work now, I will definitely make a fortune in the future." Tang Na "sold" Li Te in just a few words.  Seeing Nolan and Emma looking at him together, Li Te had no choice but to cough.  "Okay, I said something similar, but I never said that the movie "Following" could make a lot of money. Mr. Donner, please don't misinterpret me." "Mr. Little thinks that our movie will make a lot of money."  No money?" After hearing this, Nolan's expression was obviously unhappy.  Emma pulled her husband's hand and signaled him not to get excited yet, and said, "Mr. Li Te, I know you are very good at predicting the box office of a movie, but are you too hasty to draw conclusions like this?" "  Hasty?" Li Te shook his head, "I know this movie cost you a lot of effort, but it neither meets the taste of mainstream audiences, nor does it lack the unique feeling of a niche art film.  The only things people are praised for are ideas and creativity, but in Hollywood, ideas and ideas are cheap. The key is execution! Your movie is indeed full of ideas and innovative enough, but the execution of these ideas and creativity is the key.  The process is obviously not perfect, otherwise the film would not have cost only US$6,000 but took a full year to complete. I don¡¯t think you will deny this, right?¡± Emma didn¡¯t say anything, even though she had a big reaction just now.  Nolan also chose silence.  "Of course, I am not saying this to dampen your love for movies. On the contrary, I think it is a pity because you originally had such good ideas and creativity, but because of the lack of sufficient support, the film "Following" ended up being nothing more than a pity.  It is a very regrettable thing to have such an effect, and I came here today just to do something so that this kind of regret will never happen again in the future. Mr. Nolan, Mrs. Nolan, I think you should  You understand what I mean, right? " Li Te's hint was obvious enough. He believed that even if Nolan didn't understand it yet, Emma should know his intention.  Sure enough, Nolan still had doubts on his face, but EmmaI got excited first.  "Mr. Li Te, were you serious just now?" "Of course it is true, but all this is predicated. Mrs. Nolan, since you know so much about me, you should know the difference between AMG and other brokerage companies.  , we like to provide representation for the entire film, rather than simply chasing a certain actor or director. To put it simply, you must have a work that can impress me, so that I can decide whether it is worth using it.  resources to help Mr. Nolan continue to pursue his dream of directing!¡± (To be continued)
