Chapter 366: Dark style

After entering the theater, Kate Beckinsale had not yet reached the front row and was stopped by his agent. Mobile terminal

The agent greeted Kate Beckinsale to an unobtrusive place, and asked in a low voice: "Did you say that? Ronan Anderson's opinion?"

Kate Beckinsale was a little embarrassed and said, "I haven't found a chance to say it yet."

The agent reminded: "Kate, don't hesitate in this kind of thing, Hollywood's top big production! The director is still a big director like Stephen Sommers. He looked at the trailer of "Underworld" and glanced at it. You, the heroine who intends to invite you to play! It is said that the investment is up to 160 million US dollars."

"I know." Kate Beckinsale also whispered: "Always find a suitable opportunity to speak? You can't tell Ronan Anderson in the public. I want to star in a new film and let "Underworld" "The sequel to adjust the schedule?"

The agent added: "As far as I know, the first draft of the "Underworld 2" script has been completed by the screenwriter of Shahai Entertainment. As long as the film meets expectations tonight, the sequel will be scheduled soon.

Kate Beckinsale thought for a while and said: "Although I signed a trilogy contract with Shahai Entertainment, I also have the freedom to take other films."

Agents are veterans of relationships. Far Kate Beckinsale considered it all-round and thoughtful: "Never ignore the influence of a producer, especially Ronan Anderson, who is a successful producer with unlimited future. This kind of thing. It’s better to say hello to him in advance so that the sequel production can have enough time to adjust."

Kate Beckinsale nodded and said, "Well, I will talk to Ronan Anderson as soon as I find an opportunity."

The agent still urged: "As soon as possible."

Kate Beckinsale said: "I see."

She turned and walked to the first row, seeing Ronan chatting with Will Smith happily, did not move in, and decided to talk to Ronan this week.

The screen lights up, the ceiling lights go out, the theater quickly quiets down, and the premiere screening officially begins.

This is a movie about the grievances between werewolves and vampires. It highlights the typical Gothic style from the beginning, and the film basically ignores the world of ordinary people, focusing all the shots on the underground composed of werewolves and vampires. world.

At the same time, this is another typical werewolf and vampire version of Romeo and Juliet.

Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" has been moved to the screen many times, and at the same time it has brought many creative inspirations to countless filmmakers, so alternative adaptations such as "Romeo and Juliet: Postmodern Passion" have also appeared endlessly. .

"Underworld" is a wolf-ghost romance based on "Romeo and Juliet", but Romeo is a werewolf, and Juliet is a brave vampire woman warrior.

In the film, the two races of vampires and werewolves have fought against each other for centuries, and are deadly rivals. But one day, a vampire woman warrior who made the werewolves frightened fell in love with a peaceful wolf clan teenager, so a sad story began.

The ending is certainly not the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. This is a commercial movie. The ending must be the werewolf Romeo and the vampire Juliet coming together.

Finally, another old stubborn who wants to continue destroying Romeo and Juliet's love emerges from the coffin to add light to the sequel.

Christopher Nolan watched this film very seriously. The black pictures and the black costumes of the characters passed through his mind like an electric current, stimulating his thinking.

All the stories happened in the night? The protagonist is suffering from guilt and full of anger. Want to avenge his parents? With high skill and strong willpower, the protagonist has the ability to fight and destroy evil forces? What the protagonist will finally face is the villain of the father and teacher?

These have given Christopher Nolan a lot of inspiration.

Gradually, from the style of the film, he discovered more and more useful things for him.

The bold, dark and realistic style outlines an opera style that he admires so much, and pushes the dark wind of the film to a high point.

By the way, dark style! By the way, it's dark style!

Christopher Nolan's fingers kept tapping his knees, his thinking became clearer, and the inspiration from that movie made him more addicted.

He thought about the style and boldness of his next movie.

Dark style!

It is this kind!

Christopher Nolan remembered that when filming "White Night Chase", he fell into a state of long-term insomnia under the influence of the polar day environment of the filming location. At that time, there was no expectation that the long night would come. The feminine love for the dark was stimulated from within.

This film brought back the desire for darkness that had faded back to him.

Yes, dark style! It's dark style!

Although the subject matter of the movie has not yet been determined, Christopher Nolan is very sure that the style of his next film must be darkened.

Determined the style, Christopher Nolan's thoughts turned to the subject.

What themes and content are suitable for the darkened movie style?

For a while, Christopher Nolan had no clue.

The movie is over, the subtitles appear, Christopher Nolan is still thinking, creating a dark style movie? It seems to be extremely risky.

Adaptation? It seems that there is no genre suitable for adaptation into a dark film in the academic works you have seen?

This is really a problem.

Warm applause rang out, interrupting Christopher Nolan's thoughts. He quickly recovered, applauded with the people around him, and sent applause to the film.

To be honest, the film is not particularly exciting, but the style is very unique, it is a good movie.

Unfortunately, the subject matter is a bit niche.

This idea just appeared, and Christopher Nolan was surprised. The dark style is inherently niche. If the next movie uses this style, it will be difficult to obtain a higher investment.

However, continuing to shoot independent films with small hits and small troubles is not in line with his plan.

How could a director like Christopher Nolan who are aspiring to big productions be willing to stay in the independent film circle?

The film must be popularized under the premise that the dark style remains unchanged. Christopher Nolan is still planning to choose a popular theme with a natural audience to achieve a dark style.

The two must also match each other.

Otherwise, the last one must be an inconsistent movie.

As a result, the range of optional topics is reduced.

Christopher Nolan shook his head and stopped thinking about it for the time being. He followed some people who had been invited to the premiere and walked to the front row to congratulate the crew.

"Ronan, this is a masterpiece!" Christopher Nolan shook hands with Ronan and said, "Thank you very much for inviting me to the premiere. This film has inspired me a lot."

Ronan smiled and said, "Chris, you are too rewarding."

Christopher Nolan insisted on his point of view: "What I said is true. This film makes me sure that my next work must follow the dark style."

Ronan's heart moved and said, "The dark wind is not easy to shoot, it's too niche."

Christopher Nolan nodded and said: "Choosing the subject matter is very troublesome, so I don't have any clues yet."

Others came to congratulate him. Ronan said to Christopher Nolan: "I will visit you at Warner Studios when I have time. I especially like the dark style. Let's discuss this topic."

"Okay." Christopher Nolan thought of the previous conversations with Ronan. This is undoubtedly a very appetizing producer: "I'm waiting anytime."

Ronan smiled and nodded to Christopher Nolan, then shook hands with the person coming from behind, and made a polite remark.

At the premiere, you are all for me and I am for you. This is the norm in the circle.

To paraphrase the words of the previous life, even the life-and-death enemies with fierce competition will not run to the premiere to smash people.

After the premiere screening, it was a regular press conference. Since the film was almost exclusively used to highlight Kate Beckinsale’s heroine, almost all reporters’ questions were directed at Kate Beckinsale.

After experiencing the big battle of "Pearl Harbor", Kate Beckinsale also has some experience, intensifying the group's public relations from time to time to raise points, it is also considered appropriate.

The entire premiere went smoothly. Ronan left the theater at the end and returned to Foley Hill.

Like most of the time before, Ronan had processed work emails in the mailbox, read the materials, continued to charge himself, and did not go to bed until 12 o'clock.

The next morning, I got up on time for a run and fitness. When I came to the restaurant after all this, not only was the hot breakfast ready, but the housekeeper Nikia also followed the usual practice at the premiere of previous movies Nan prepared all major newspapers.

The premiere of "Underworld" is over, and it will be screened in 2,950 theaters in North America. It can be said to be one of the largest and most watched films since April, attracting many media reviews and reports.

Ronan first read the "Premier" magazine. Although the magazine did not get various data about the premiere, for the time being, through the analysis of the movie content, he believed that "Underworld" would be a success.

"First of all, in the field of chemistry, perhaps many people have not noticed it, but the vampire craze is reviving, and the subject matter of this film has inherent advantages. Second, the world view of completely abandoning humans and directly attacking the two major groups of vampires and werewolves is quite New ideas. Third, the alternative black decadence beauty throughout the story, coupled with the cool looks of the protagonists, is very interesting."

Most of the media are more optimistic about this film. Although there are good and bad reviews, they basically believe that this film can be a commercial success.

After breakfast and reading the newspaper, Ronan received a call from Kate Beckinsale when he was about to go to work.
