Chapter 167 Bait
When Li Chen and Richard appeared in front of the guests.

Tim was surprised to find that the tension between the two men was no longer there as when they had just met.

Even a little weirdly intimate.

Li Chen saw Nolan in the hall.

Li Chen and Richard beside him smiled and said, “I haven’t congratulated you Warner yet.”

"I heard that the second Batman movie has been approved."

"Nolan's The Prestige has also received good reviews, so I think it won't be difficult for it to make over 100 million yuan at the box office."

Richard was very happy and laughed, "Thank you for your good words. Let's go and say hello to Nolan."

Old Shay, who was standing not far away, was a little confused.

Why do Li Chen and Richard look like nothing has happened?

He had clearly seen Richard coming with a gloomy face and a fierce look.

How come Richard has become a different person after not seeing him for a while?

Li Chen and Richard held their wine glasses and walked over to Nolan's group.

Standing next to Nolan was a white man who looked quite similar to him.

If Li Chen guessed correctly.

It should be his younger brother, Jonathan Nolan.

"Nolan."

Nolan heard the call, turned around and saw Li Chen and Richard coming together.

Nolan held up his wine glass and said to Li Chen with a smile, "Li, congratulations, Insidious 2 won the box office championship."

"My The Prestige is no match for you."

Li Chen smiled and said, "It's not the same subject matter, there's no comparison."

"Besides, I'm just taking advantage of Halloween."

"You are too modest, Lee. I just saw Crystal. She looked very beautiful tonight."

"I was wondering why I didn't see you. It turns out you were with Richard."

Li Chen said humorously: "There is no other way. Richard, my boyfriend, is here. I can only put my girlfriend aside for the time being."

Richard and Nolan couldn't help but smile, but Richard knew what was going on.

Only Li Chen himself knows whether he considers himself as a friend.

Li Chen chatted with Nolan for a few more words and then turned around to entertain other guests.

After leaving the hall, Li Chen saw from afar Miss Liu talking and laughing with Mingkov on the lawn.

Li Chen's mouth corners curled up slightly.

Miss Liu is now becoming more and more adept at dealing with such situations and is able to do so with ease.

"Crystal is becoming more and more mature."

Tim on the side sighed.

Li Chen said, "Please ask Nolan to go to my study later."

"Push the book 'Inception' to him and see if he is interested in collaborating."

Tim was a little surprised: "Boss, why don't you take the photo yourself?"

He has also read the script of Inception, which is an excellent script with wild imagination.

Li Chen didn't explain much to Tim.

He couldn't tell Tim that he plagiarized the script from the Nolan brothers.

If Nolan wasn't given a heads-up in advance.

What if Nolan makes "Inception" himself one day?

It's hard to tell.

The book "Those Years" that he wrote when he just debuted was, after all, a novel. It made a name for itself by being the first to be published to the world.

The original author couldn't say anything.

Even though the story is similar to this one, Li Chen changed the name of the protagonist and there are some plots that are not suitable for children.

Impeccable.

But "Inception" is different, if you don't take the initiative to show the script to Nolan.

Nolan would never know.

After all, Hollywood does a pretty good job of keeping scripts confidential.

While Nolan is working hard on The Dark Knight, let's get the name first. Even if Nolan is unwilling to take on this project, Li Chen can shoot it himself.

"Do as I say. I know what to do."

"Okay, boss, I'll go now."

Li Chen walked alone towards Mingkov and Miss Liu.

"Crystal, Li Chen is here." Mingkov said with a smile, holding a wine glass.

Miss Liu turned around and took a look, then smiled and walked over to Li Chen, taking his arm with him: "Why are you here so late?"

Li Chen laughed: "I talked to Richard for a few more words, and just now I talked to Nolan a few words."

"What are you talking about? I see you guys are laughing happily."

Miss Liu smiled and said, "Director Mingkov said that the casting for that play will begin next month."

"Early next year, I will also be doing martial arts training for a few months."

“I said why not train at Crystal Wu, and Director Mingkov agreed.”

Li Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Mingkov.

Mingkov laughed and said, "Li Chen, I have no reason not to agree with Crystal's proposal."

"Crystal Wu is big enough, private, and saves a lot of money on venue fees."

"I should thank Crystal."

Li Chen clinked his wine glass with Mingkov's and said with a smile: "You should really thank her."

"When your drama is released, her global popularity may bring you a great surprise."

Mingkov's eyes lit up: "Then I am really looking forward to this day."

Miss Liu was standing next to him, looking at her boyfriend with her beautiful eyes full of love.

She knew in her heart that it was not because of her boyfriend.

It is not certain whether she can get the role so easily.

She always pays attention to the domestic news.

Ever since Chenglong announced this project publicly, the only thing missing was a name.

Many people have their eyes on this project.

Just listening to Chenglong, Bai Zhuo from Hong Kong Island and Zhang Ziyi from the mainland have both asked him about it.

Miss Liu felt inexplicably melancholy.

No wonder her boyfriend is called the Tang Sanzang of the entertainment industry.

Who doesn’t want to take a bite and become a Buddha instantly?

In Li Chen's study.

"Tim, what's going on? It's so mysterious, can't you just talk about it in the hall?"

Tim laughed, "Of course not, Nolan. Would you read a script to someone in the hall?"

"script?"

"Yes, it's a script from my boss, and I want to see if you're interested in collaborating."

Nolan was curious about what script made Li Chen find him, and why didn’t he shoot it himself?
Nolan put down his wine glass and took a file bag from Tim. After opening it, he saw the name on the cover: Inception.

Nolan quickly flipped through it and became more and more surprised the more he read.

Half an hour later, Nolan closed the script and exclaimed in admiration.

"It's said that Li's script is the best in China."

"I have always been paying attention to them. Movies like Shoplifters and New World are famous for their novel and fascinating plots."

"But this Inception made me see his extraordinary imagination."

"This script is very attractive to me. I need to think about it carefully."

"You all know that I won't have time for at least the next year."

Tim was delighted: "Don't worry, take your time to think about it."

He secretly hoped that Nolan would reject the script.

Maybe by that time, Chiyou had already acquired Xinxian.

Relying on the strength and foundation of New Line, as well as the ability of his boss.

They can totally make it themselves.

They are not short of money.
