"A work that has been conceived?" Nolan was stunned. He only had such a movie in his hand now. He was not sure whether the film could be released. How could he have the intention to conceive a new work?

He was about to tell the truth, but Emma next to him suddenly kicked him.

"Yes, we do have the idea of ​​a new movie on hand now, but recently we have been busy with the film "Following". If Mr. Li Te needs it, we can take out the script in the shortest time, three months... no, two months."

Emma looked at Lite with anticipation, but Nolan couldn't sit still on the side. He looked at his wife frequently, his eyes looking a little anxious.

Li Te hugged his hand and frowned slightly and said, "Is it too hasty for two months? I mean, under normal circumstances, it takes at least one year to turn an excellent idea from a concept to a script. I am not particularly anxious, so you don't have to worry too much. The key is that the story idea you mentioned just now is really as good as you said?"

Litt was not sure whether Nolan had already started creating that movie at this time, so he deliberately extended the time, but his lack of rush does not mean that Emma is not in a hurry.

In the conversation just now, Mike Donald had already expressed his attitude that he could buy the movie "Follow" and lead to the release of the movie in the future, but only if Nolan was to be loved by Little.

If Nolan cannot become famous in the future, "Following" as his debut work is worthless. On the contrary, if Nolan can really become a big director like Litt said in the future, the movie will have the value of purchasing.

Emma has been working on the film "Following" for more than half a year. She has met countless film manufacturers, only Mike Donald has shown some interest in this film, so she must seize this opportunity.

In contrast, joining Amg to Nolan's future development is still too far away, and she doesn't even think about it more.

"Sorry, I'll go to the bathroom."

Nolan suddenly stood up. At the same time, he looked at his wife with some dissatisfaction and turned around and left.

Litt and Mike Donald looked at each other and curled their lips.

Seeing this, Emma also stood up, apologized to the two and chased after them.

"You shouldn't have said that just now!" Nolan and Emma stood face to face in the aisle outside the bathroom. "I don't have any new film concepts on my hands. You said that is deceiving each other! Maybe you would say, it's nothing. Half a year is enough for us to come up with a new script, but you think Lit is so easy to deal with. His attitude just now is actually very clear. If we don't bring out that idea and impress him now, then all his promises will not be counted!"

The more Nolan spoke, the more excited he became. In the end, Emma had to raise her hands and try to persuade him to calm down.

"Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"

"I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say..."

"No need to explain, you mean that!" Emma interrupted Nolan without hesitation. "But I want to remind you that I'm not talking nonsense. Have you forgotten Jonathan's novel that has not been published yet? Last time he told you about this story, I once said that if it was made into a movie, it would definitely be a very good movie. That's what you said at that time, I remember correctly, right?"

Nolan was stunned. He did say so, but at that time he just said it casually. He didn't mean to be serious. Unexpectedly, Emma took this seriously.

"Since you think that story is good, why not make it into a movie?" Emma asked back.

Nolan couldn't help but waver, but he was still a little worried.

"Are you sure Lit will approve of this story?"

Emmam looked at Nolan without turning his eyes, "He came to you after watching "Following", which shows that he must have a unique appreciation for you. It is one thing for us to take out this story and whether it can be recognized by him, but it is another thing to prove our sincerity. Even if he is not satisfied with this story, he will be very satisfied with you. In this way, maybe he has the right script in his hand and considers you as a director. Isn't this closer to your dream of being a real film director?"

Nolan's eyes flashed with struggle, and he finally nodded.

After the couple reached a consensus, they returned to their seats together.

Li Te put down the coffee cup in his hand and asked with a smile: "Are you all agreed?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Nolan's face. He knew that his excuse to go to the bathroom had been seen through by Lite.

Emma didn't rush to explain, but just gave Nolan an encouraging look.

Nolan pondered the words for a moment and said, "Mr. Lite, when it comes to conception of a new film, I do have an idea, but first of all, I have to declare that the source of this idea is not my original work, but my younger brother Jonathan, who is a writer. He conceived a story some time ago and then mentioned it to us at a party. At that time, I thought his idea was very good, so I joked with him that maybe I could make it into a movie."

Li Te nodded after hearing this.

"Thanks to Mr. Nolan for his honesty. This situation you said is actually very common in Hollywood, especially at Amg. Among the eight signed directors in the company, except for Robert Cohen and Stephen Somos, the other six are brothers and partners. They are the Wachowski brothers, Ferrari brothers and Cohen brothers, so I also very welcome the addition of another pair of Nolan brothers on this list in the future!"

Nolan exchanged colors with his wife excitedly, and then Emma interrupted and said, "I think Jonathan will be very happy to hear this news."

"Now," Litt glanced at the Nolans and his wife, "Can you tell me what kind of story this is?"

"The story is not complicated. It mainly tells the process of a man suffering from 'short-term memory loss' looking for the murderer of his wife. The biggest highlight is the fragmented memory of the hero, which makes him difficult to pursue the murderer, because he can only recall the little things from the past with some fragmented things such as tattoos and polaroid snapshots. Moreover, whenever he finds some valuable clues, he must use all methods to record it immediately, because it is very likely that he will not remember where he is and what he is doing in more than ten minutes."

Lit listened seriously, but Mike Donald on the side couldn't help but frown.

This story doesn't seem as wonderful as I imagined. At least Mike Donald doesn't think this setting is so attractive, and it's even a bit confusing. Of course, this is just from a business perspective.

As for considering this from an artistic perspective, this is not a film dealer like Mike Donald who likes to pursue interests often consider things.

Mike Donald's performance made Nolan, who was telling the story, feel a little unsure, but Lit's reaction was far beyond his expectations.

"Then what?"

Litt's urging made Nolan come to his senses, and at the same time he realized that he was the protagonist of today's conversation. Convincing him was equivalent to convincing Mike Donner.

"The male protagonist is determined to avenge his wife, but he doesn't remember that he has actually killed the murderer, and he has to find another person with the same name to continue to avenge. A policeman takes advantage of this and uses the male protagonist to kill his enemy. The male protagonist realizes this later and finally kills the policeman."

At this time, Mike Donald turned his head to Lit and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I am foresight, except for the male protagonist's short-term memory loss, the rest of the story seems to be dull."

"But you don't think this story has found a comprehensive introduction to the complete inversion narrative technique that Nolan showed in the movie "Following". The details of the flashback story require special thinking, and finding a subject story that suits this framework requires more inspiration. In my opinion, this is a very rare thing."

Lite briefly introduced his thoughts to Mike Donald. He did not plan to convince the other party at this time, because unless the movie was made, some things would be really difficult to explain clearly.

And in this world, no one can clear the value of this film more than Lite.

Although the performance of "Memory Fragments" in the box office is not worth mentioning compared to Nolan's subsequent works, Lite always thought that this is the best film Nolan made

In the film, Nolan uses an unprecedented reverse order to create an "fragmented" atmosphere of memory, allowing the audience to deeply experience the broken life and inner feelings of the male protagonist. In this atmosphere, the audience will easily be substituted and follow the male protagonist to search for the so-called reality in the movie.

"If self-deception can make me happy, I choose to live like this."

Lite carefully recalled what Nolan said last and couldn't help but nod.

Nolan was shocked because he never thought that Lite had accurately grasped the essence of the whole story just from the simple plot concept. At this time, he suddenly felt that it was such a correct decision to follow his wife's advice just now.
