Chapter 258 Crisis and Celebration

The hot sales of the novels in [Galaxy Cinematic Universe] also indicate that Wang Hao’s copyright plan is on the road to success.

The film, television and novels are linked together, with novels being written in advance to grab the copyright, and then adapted into movies and TV series.

This is faster, less costly, and can appear before the originals, without having to worry about clashing with other people or companies.

Of course, Wang Hao’s methods of grabbing copyrights in advance are not limited to this.

Publishing the book in advance is just one of his methods. In addition, submitting the script to the Hollywood Writers Guild for filing in advance is also one of his methods.

Because of this, Nolan even called him across the country through Liam Neeson's relationship.

Yes, that's Christopher Nolan, the man who made Memento and Batman Begins.

The purpose of this person's call was very simple. He took a fancy to the "Inception" script that Wang Hao had filed in advance and wanted to buy it to shoot and produce it himself.

Perhaps it was because he had asked Liam Neeson about Wang Hao's situation in advance, or perhaps it was because he had searched and browsed some of Wang Hao's works on the Internet beforehand.

This newly famous Hollywood director was very humble at first and spoke very politely on the phone.

However, no matter how polite he was, Wang Hao would never sell him "Inception", which involved the [Galaxy Cinematic Universe].

Even though the person's words on the phone were very sincere and the price he offered was very high, Wang Hao remained unmoved.

In desperation, Christopher Nolan had to settle for the second best. After reiterating his eagerness to shoot "Inception", he said that even if he didn't want to sell the copyright, he could still cooperate with Wang Hao's film company and just let him be the director of the film.

Wang Hao did not make any firm statements about the director who came to him wanting to work with him. He just said that they would discuss the matter in detail when they returned to Hollywood.

Christopher Nolan was of course somewhat unwilling to not get a clear answer from Wang Hao, but there was nothing he could do about it.

It was when he was filming "Batman 2: The Dark Knight" not long ago that he came up with the idea of ​​making a movie about "dreams".

However, after writing the outline of the script, he went to the Screenwriters Guild to check and was surprised to find that his idea actually conflicted with a movie script that had been filed the year before.

It's a car crash, what can he do?

The other person's script was written two years earlier than his. To be honest, it was the other person who came up with the idea first.

Nolan could only try to find the owner of the script first. However, he found out that the person who wrote the script was actually a director, and a Chinese director at that, who had just cooperated with Sony Pictures not long ago.

After learning about these situations, Nolan actually no longer held much hope.

After all, judging from the other party's behavior, the script of "Inception" was most likely prepared by the Chinese director for himself.

However, after thinking it over, Nolan was still unwilling to give up, especially after reading the general plot introduction of "Inception". He loved this movie even more and felt that the other party's ideas were in perfect agreement with his own, as if this script was born for him.

So even though he had no expectations, Christopher Nolan still called Wang Hao.

Now it seems that although Wang Hao did not agree, there is at least a little hope.

This was at the same time that Christopher Nolan was racking his brains to find a way to direct "Inception".

On the other side of the world, Wang Hao was also paying attention to the news in North America. What news? Of course, it was about the economic crisis.

In fact, Wang Hao had already started paying attention to this matter as early as last year. After all, the American financial crisis did not happen immediately.

As early as 2007, problems had already begun to appear in the American subprime mortgage market.

The North American real estate market is showing clear signs of recession, and the subprime mortgage default rate has quietly increased, triggering continued turbulence in the financial market.

However, Wang Hao did not have much funds at that time, and he was not familiar with the financial institutions in North America, so he just watched and did not take any action.

But now it seems different. On July 7, two major real estate financial institutions in America both encountered serious crises.

According to some information collected by Wang Hao, America has even begun discussing whether to provide assistance to these two companies.

This also means that the time for the economic crisis to break out is not far away.

Wang Hao was naturally happy to hear about this kind of thing. He also contacted and instructed his fund manager in North America, Kazuki Ogawa.

He specially asked Keita Miyamoto of Sony Pictures to find this person for him. He is a Japanese-American who has been working in the stock fund industry for more than ten years. Although his performance is not very outstanding, being obedient and keeping his promises are exactly the two qualities that Wang Hao values ​​most.

What Wang Hao assigned to him was very simple, which was to keep an eye on the overall market and collect information on stocks of those companies that were in good condition but had fallen due to bad market conditions.

Ogawa Hehui also absolutely obeyed Wang Hao's instructions, but as time passed, the North American financial market gradually deteriorated, and the number of company names submitted to Wang Hao increased.

It can be seen that the North American financial circle is in a state of panic at this time. The atmosphere and situation are becoming more and more tense, like a bomb with a lit fuse, which may explode at any time.

However, while the situation in North America is tense, on the other side of the ocean in China, the people are laughing and celebrating.

With the arrival of August, an event worthy of national celebration was finally mentioned repeatedly and appeared in major news media, occupying a lot of space and overshadowing all the big and small stars.

The Beijing Olympics is about to begin!

This is the first time that China has hosted such an internationally renowned event. It is also an excellent opportunity for China to showcase its development achievements to the world.

As a native of Shangjing, with his home in Shangjing, his company in Shangjing, and now he is also in Shangjing, Wang Hao can be said to have personally experienced the rich Olympic atmosphere in the city of Shangjing.

Happy, excited, proud...

Driving on the road every day and looking at every smiling face on the street, even though he had already known about this, he still couldn't help but be infected by it, and a kind of joy sprouted from the bottom of his heart. This was an experience he had never felt in his previous life, and it was also a rare experience in this life.

Because of this incident, he even gave the company employees a few days off so that they could relax and take part in this lively day.

As for himself, after struggling for so many years, he has at least achieved some status in the industry, so he should enjoy himself.

He had finally managed to get two tickets for the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.

The scenes that I could only see on TV in my previous life can now be seen in person.
