Chapter 826 Where to find a close friend at the end of the world

Don't look at this period of time, Hollywood movie stars are shouting and beating Xu Jia.

But there were quite a few people who contacted him privately. Even the loudest one, Disney, also contacted him secretly.

Robert even offered generous terms and wanted to cooperate with Xu Jia.

Unfortunately, it was sold by Xu Jia to Kevin, which calmed down the latter's originally agitated heart due to this project.

Obviously, Warner can truly realize the importance of Jiaxing as a partner only when there are bids from competitors.

It's a pity that "The Life of Oppenheimer" is a completely white film. There are basically no Asian characters, and the roles they have are not big. Xu Jia doesn't have to include any more of his own people in it, so he can't make the mistake.

"Then what do you think? Who do you plan to cooperate with?" Nolan asked curiously.

He knew little about Xu Jia before, and only thought of him as a new entertainment upstart in the far East. However, after getting in touch with him during this period, he gradually learned about Xu Jia's legend and his opinions on his movies, which he regarded as It is a confidant.

"I don't plan to cooperate with anyone. I will shoot this movie solely to stop those people's mouths. Even if we dominate the "Meg" series, we will only be involved in the eyes of those people. Warner's advantage, they can't say that now, right?" Xu Jia sneered.

Don't think that this title is not important. In ancient times, it was important for a master to be famous. What's more, as an outsider, making money through co-productions is ultimately luck in the eyes of most people. Only by using sole proprietorship projects can he truly hit the box office figures. Only on their faces will they admit that this man from the East is really awesome.

The two of them were talking, and Cillian Murphy knocked on the door and came in, looking very embarrassed.

Although the latter has been in the film and television industry for a long time and has many popular roles, he still lacks a bit of weight in the international film industry. His previous collaborations with Nolan were mostly in supporting roles, but this time he can play the leading role. Opportunity, for Murphy, is nothing short of a blessing from heaven.

"Just show your normal self. As long as you can play the role of Oppenheimer well, I guarantee that no one can take the role from you."

Xu Jia's voice was raised and could be heard through the crowd waiting outside the audition room. There was a sudden commotion. He continued: "For me, it only depends on the compatibility with the role, regardless of background, capital, relationships, etc. If an actor does his or her job well, I will give the role to whoever it is."

After all, the main roles have been selected, but Xu Jia still gave a considerable degree of freedom to the supporting roles. In order to stimulate the potential of these interview actors, he did not mind giving these people a little hope.

"Haha, I guess those actors outside will have to work hard when they come in later." Nolan said with a smile. He had no objection to Xu Jia's approach.

As a director, what I like most are investors who don't look at background, capital, or connections. They only select actors based on their compatibility with the roles. They are also very cooperative with the director's work.

When Cillian Murphy heard Xu Jia's words, his expression gradually became serious.

Obviously whether he can get the leading role depends on the next audition.

"Albert, when I came to you with those calculations, we thought it would trigger a chain reaction that would destroy the entire world."

Cillian Murphy looked at the two people with inexplicable emotions in his eyes, "I believe we did it."

The other party's brown-orange pupils seemed to reflect a deep lake, and the chain effect brought about by the chain reaction meant that it would bring about earth-shaking changes to the world.

Xu Jia glanced at Nolan beside him, who was leaning forward and staring intently at Murphy's performance.

Everyone could see that Nolan was moved.

Although the latter was reluctant to admit it, he was still moved by Murphy's role as Oppenheimer. This role originally seemed to him the most difficult to find, but unexpectedly he was the first to be confirmed.

"Xu, you win."

Nolan admitted defeat, but the corner of his mouth raised, and he looked at Murphy: "Congratulations, you are my Oppenheimer, get ready to sign the contract, you have played supporting roles with me so many times, you should be the protagonist once. "

Murphy was stunned at first, then quickly bowed to Nolan and Xu Jia, and said sincerely: "Thank you both for giving me this opportunity. I will not let you down. I will use up the role of Oppenheimer." Try your best to shape it well.”

After Murphy left, the audition actors came in one after another.

Nolan was surprised to find that all the actors approved by Xu Jia were actually the most suitable candidates for the roles, considering all aspects. He fell flat at the end.

"Hey, Xu, why don't you decide on the entire casting list? It will also save time. We can just do a script reading and then start shooting." Nolan said.

He wished he could use Xu Jia as the casting director for all his future works, but thinking about the other person's wealth and career, he gave up the idea.

"Then you are overthinking it. Of course, this kind of work must be done by you, the director, and you won't be able to save this time." Xu Jia shook his head, rejected Nolan's proposal, and said with a smile: "I suggest "Oppenheimer" "Like "Dunkirk", it was shot entirely on large-format film and then projected on 70mm film, so that you can feel the 3D effect without wearing glasses."

Ever since "The Dark Knight", the other party was used to shooting with IMAX cameras, so Xu Jia didn't wait for the latter to say anything and took the initiative to bring it up.

From Nolan's point of view, this was like handing him a pillow when he was dozed off. He had never seen investors who were so cooperative. For a director, it was like a sword meeting a scabbard, which was a lot of fun.

"Xu, I swear, after this movie is over, if there is a chance, I will continue to cooperate with you." Nolan said with excitement.

"Your words are enough. I'll leave this to you. I have to go to another crew. You know, they don't have you to reassure me after all. I have to keep an eye on it." Xu Jia said.

The casual compliment once again caused a flower-like smile to bloom on the other person's face. Nolan knew that in another crew, there was a genius director who was as talented as himself.

Xu Jia was also secretly happy that she had not wasted her time to act subtly in front of Nolan. She used the interviews she had seen in her previous life so perfectly that she was regarded as a confidant by the latter.

It can be seen that even after "Oppenheimer" is over, as long as there are no major differences between the two parties, it is only a matter of time before they cooperate again. This is equivalent to tying Nolan to his own chariot. It can be said that he won As a director, Nolan can gain a foothold in Hollywood.
