When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.If you don't have money in your pocket, no matter who you are, you can't speak with confidence.
I can't stand up straight!
"Mr. Nolan, you are an outstanding graduate of the college. Seven months is the limit that the college can tolerate your stay, you know." The fat lady sighed.
She has done many things that offended people. But there is nothing she can do about it, rules are rules.
"Okay, I'll pack up and leave now." Nolan's voice became a little hoarse.
The fat lady saw his embarrassment and said, "You don't have to be too anxious. After all, there are still five hours left."
Nolan thanked her profusely and watched the fat lady leave.
At this moment, Kyle and bodyguard just walked to the door of the dormitory and saw this scene.
Kyle was suddenly filled with sighs.
If I hadn't seen this scene in person, I really wouldn't have believed that the future Hollywood great director Nolan would actually have such a depressed and impoverished day.
"Huh?"
"You are Mr. Page?!"
Nolan saw Kyle and there was a flash of excitement in his words, but of course there was more embarrassment.
Everyone wants to save face!
No one wants others, especially those who know him or her, to see his or her embarrassing side.
Kyle smiled and said, "Why? Mr. Nolan doesn't want to invite me in to sit down?"
"Uh... sure!"
Nolan reacted quickly and welcomed Kyle and the others in. He also considerately moved two chairs and wiped them carefully with a white cloth.
"Nolan, your movie "Following" should be finished, right? You're being a little unkind. You said that after you finish the movie, you should come to Los Angeles to find me, and I will arrange for the movie to be released for you." Kyle pretended to be angry.
Nolan was really stunned by Kyle's pretending to be angry, but as smart as he was, he understood it immediately.
"This is to avoid embarrassing me!" Nolan's heart moved.
Nolan said, "Mr. Page, I...Anyway, thank you."
"Thank you for what?"
Kyle said generously, "You make a movie, and I buy it. This is only natural. Why should I thank you? Well, don't say too much now. Just follow me to Hollywood and be my director."
Nolan stood up and thanked him again.
What a proud man he is!
Thinking back to when Kyle invited him to go to Hollywood, he agreed quickly, but he didn't do it. He hoped to enter Hollywood with his own strength, rather than the appreciation of a certain person.
However, the reality is cruel!
"Following", which cost only $6,000 to produce, was not appreciated by any film company or theater in the UK. For this reason, he could only travel around Europe with the film and participate in various film festivals in the hope of selling the copyright.
But it can't be sold at all!
A South African copyright owner once said, "Man, do you think I'm a fool? You can make a movie with $6,000? Who are you trying to fool? Get out of here now, right now!"
A copyright holder from France was the most critical.
He said: "Your movie is shit! Let alone selling it to me at the cost price of $6,000, even if it's $100, I don't think it's worth it! Remember, Christopher Nolan doesn't have the talent to be a director at all, I said!"
Nolan experienced the beating from society due to repeated setbacks and harsh words.
Being a director is not that easy!
Kyle listened to Nolan's experience.
I was immediately filled with sighs.
Obviously, Kyle remembered his past life.
"After I graduated from film school in my previous life, I spent a full six months working as a script supervisor in a small crew, and spent two years to get a position as an assistant director. Well, the so-called assistant director is actually a handyman, otherwise why would I end up working in logistics?"
"Director, it's so damn hard to get ahead!"
Kyle was also a little dazed for a moment.
"Okay, it's all over. Nolan, you have to go to Los Angeles with me this time no matter what. It's decided. Adam, what are you still standing there for? Come with me to help Nolan pack his things."
Next, Kyle didn't care about Nolan's opinion and immediately worked with Adam to pack up Nolan's things at an extremely fast speed.
Nolan: "…."
What else could he say at this moment?
Let's do it together.
....
the next day.
In the morning, Kyle, bodyguard Adam, and Nolan went to ITV Broadcasting Company to investigate the preparations for the "Britain's Got Talent" program.
The person in charge of reception is still Cindy.
He is now the executive producer of Britain's Got Talent.
The first place we inspected and visited was the filming location of the talent show, which was a theater-like venue that could accommodate 1,500 people.
The "x" symbol!
As soon as he saw the mark, Kyle couldn't help but laugh.
This is so full of memories!
In his previous life, although Kyle had not watched the original version of "Britain's Got Talent", he had watched "America's Got Talent" a lot, yes, he had watched it for several seasons.
If your performance fails to satisfy the judges, they will immediately give you an "x", which is a very satisfying thing.
Kyleor took a quick look at the filming location and was filled with admiration for ITV.
rich!
So fucking rich!
The construction materials on the site are all high-end. According to a simple estimate, the cost of construction materials, lighting, sound equipment, etc. alone is no less than 8 million US dollars. Not to mention the cost of inviting local British entertainment celebrities to serve as judges, which is definitely a sky-high price.
Afterwards, under Cindy's guidance, Kyle and his two companions inspected other preparations for the program.
Farmers, workers, car drivers, urban white-collar workers, vegetable vendors in the vegetable market, and primary school students...
The folk talents who passed the preliminary selection really impressed Kyle.
"Huh? These two people look so familiar!"
That's right, among the video materials pre-selected for the program, Kyle found two people he had seen on TV in his previous life.
One of them is Beckham's wife Victoria, of course, the two are not married yet;
The other person was a little girl who was less than 10 years old.
"Adele?!"
Oh shit, it's really her!
Kyle took a quick look at the information and found that it was indeed Adele, the most awesome female singer in the UK in the 21st century!
Although her global popularity is not as high as Celine Dion's, her achievements are not bad at all. As of 2020, she has won 15 Grammy Awards, 1 Golden Globe Award, 1 Oscar Award, 4 American Music Awards, 8 Brit Awards, etc., with only ten years of debut.
Kyle really didn't expect that Adele, who is not even 10 years old now, would appear in the preliminary round of "The Talent Show".
The whole day passed quickly.
Overall, Kyle felt that he benefited a lot and planned to ask UPN TV to arrange someone to come and study immediately after returning to Los Angeles.
However, just when Kyle and others were about to leave ITV, they discovered an unexpected gain.
"Kyle, you said you wanted to buy the North American production rights for "How to Make a Millionaire"? " Cindy looked at Kyle in surprise.
Kyle nodded immediately.
Man, that's How to Be a Millionaire!
The little overlord of the "question-answering" type in variety shows!
