Lai Rui looked at Wright in amazement. Before, Wright asked him to make a movie, but he didn't think much about it because he always thought that it was Li Chong who was the leader. Wright was just an investor. After all, everyone knows more or less about Wright's identity, but it was not until now that he realized that everything was done by Wright. The crew sent it over, and none of the rest except for an executive director could stand alone.
"I regret it a little 30 million. Since you haven't filmed it, it shouldn't cost much, right?" Larry felt that his brain nerves were a little pounding. Although Time Warner is rich, he can't be so chaotic. He really regrets it, especially now that Nolan's next movie is also in big production.
"Don't worry, Dad Lai Rui, I'll call you the money later. This movie is just considered as our independent investment. We don't need these dollars, but the distribution still depends on your Time Warner." Wright can still distinguish the reality. Lai Rui paid the shooting funds so easily because of his background behind him. What's more, he is still so unreliable now. However, with Li Chong, a real filmmaker, Wright no longer has to worry about things other than money. After all, he decided to make a movie after being so crazy.
Lai Rui shook his head and said nothing. Now it seems that Li Chong and the others invest independently are really a good choice. He originally thought that Li Chong had already written the script and planned to become a hit in Hollywood. Who would have thought that Wright would have played like this? It would be 30 million, not 3,000 yuan! "Steven, it was two things to find you, but now it seems that there is only one left. There is no problem with the release of the movie. We have released any movies at a low cost. Another thing must be found. Didn't you send me some short scripts before? Nolan looked at one of them and wanted to ask you to write that paragraph, or you would authorize the adaptation to us."
After Li Chong sold out the adaptation rights of "The Chaser" last time, he took the time to send Lai Rui a sample of script composed of more than 10 short stories, all of which were Li Chongtian's imaginary imaginations. If Li Chong had time, he could expand it into movie scripts.
"Which part? If Nolan can be optimistic about it, is it the part that traveled through the past? Or the part that microscopic world? Or the part that mechanical age? It must be the part that dream..." Li Chong turned his fingers and looked at Nolan every time he said it. Nolan in front kept shaking his head until Li Chong talked about the part that dream Nolan nodded, "It's the part that dream. I have always had the idea of shooting a movie about dreams. Your short part has given me a lot of inspiration, but I also read your movie script "The Chaser", so I think it's more suitable for you to write this script."
Li Chong felt a little moved when he heard Nolan say this. If he wrote the script, he would have great hope of becoming the deputy director of the movie. After all, they had worked together before, and Li Chong knew Nolan's shooting techniques very well. But then he thought that he didn't seem to have that much time. He had to clean up the mess in Wright. There is also a movie in South Korea that will be about to be finished, a movie about to be filmed, and a TV series that has already started filming. His bet with Liu Xiuli will be next year, and he can't make any mistakes!
After thinking about this, Li Chong woke up. Li Chong looked at Nolan and could only smile bitterly and said, "Nolan, it's not that I don't want to help you. I really don't have time in the past two years. I have to clean up the mess of this dead boy, Wright. In Korea, I still have a movie that will be finished, a movie that will be about to start filming and a TV series. How can I have time!"
Nolan frowned after hearing this, "Do you have time to write me an outline of the script about dreams? I will write the script for this movie myself."
Li Xin nodded, "This is no problem. When I have time after a while, I will write out the outline. In fact, it is really an interesting story in my mind..."
The four of them chatted for a while, and after Wright transferred the money to Lai Rui, Li Chong and Wright returned to the hotel. Today they planned to talk at night, but in fact, it was Li Jin who knew the situation and see how bad the mess had reached.
Li Chong ordered a bottle of red wine and said to Wright, who had already fallen into the sofa, "Tell me, how much money have you paid? Don't say to me the perfunctory words of Larry, don't I understand you yet? 1 million? Or 2 million?" Li Chong knew that Wright was an absolute prodigal son, otherwise they would not have almost sold their butts in the end...
Wright smiled foolishly, "You know me, I bought the Caesar Palace for two days, and then I watched the movie but didn't know what to shoot, so I withdrew."
Li Chong was speechless. Caesars Palace is one of the iconic hotels in Las Vegas. How much does it cost to book a day?
"How much is left of 30 million? Don't tell me that there is not even 10 million left." Li Chongshang asked for a while.
At this time, the red wine was delivered, and Wright poured a glass of Li Chong and himself. "How could there be so much? I invited the staff of the entire script to play for two days and spent less than $5 million. How could so many gamblers go there in the current economic crisis!"
Li Chong stuffed the red wine in the cup in one gulp, but fortunately, it was much better than he thought, with at least 25 million left, making a small-cost movie enough. "Wright, that's it. I'll write a script and then find a director at Time Warner to shoot. You'll be a producer, and I'll be a producer."
Wright didn't understand, "Aren't you the director yourself? Since it's our movie, why don't we shoot it ourselves?"
Li Chong felt that after hearing Wright was about to make a movie tonight, he kept smiling bitterly, "How can I have that time? You just heard that I have too much work in the past two years, it is no longer reasonable to be able to come up with a detailed script for you. You said that if you come two years later, I still have the time and energy to do this, and now I really don't have time!!!" Li Chong felt a headache when he thought about his own affairs.
It doesn't matter if Wright thought about it. In fact, this movie is the product of his bad mood when he missed Li Chong. What impressed him most about their college life was the madness in Las Vegas. They turned from millionaires to penniless in three days. Although it was absurd, it was indeed his most unforgettable time.
After thinking about it, Li Chong took out his phone and dialed a number. A slightly lazy voice came over, "Uncle, is there anything wrong with me in the morning? It's only 8 o'clock now!"
