Although Nanaya was going to promote "Avengers", he first came to the UK with Lily.
It's not about taking Lily home to meet her parents.
Nanaya doesn't have the courage to do that.
Of course, even if Nanaya really wants to meet the parents, he will definitely come with Ryan.
Nothing will happen to Lily for sure.
The reason why Nanaya came to the UK was simple, because the premiere of "Inception" would be held in London, and he wanted to be Lily's male companion to the premiere.
This was the condition that Lily agreed to provide cover for Nanaya.
Since he had promised to do it, Nanaya would definitely not let Lily down.
But Nanaya really didn't expect that the premiere of "Inception" would be held in the UK.
In his previous life, Nanaya basically didn't pay much attention to the specific details of the release of "Inception".
After all, this movie is an original movie, and Nanaya hardly paid any attention to it before.
It was only after he knew about and watched this movie in the cinema that Nanaya began to pay attention to it.
But Nanaya is more concerned about the box office performance of the film and the relevant content of the film's main creators.
Nanaya has never really paid attention to where the premiere will be held.
Of course, another reason is that before the movie "Inception" was officially introduced, it was directly translated as "The Foundation" by the Chinese media.
This caused Nanaya to miss a lot of news related to Inception.
As for why the premiere was held in the UK, I think it should be because the director Christopher Nolan is British.
But there should be one more reason in this life, one of the leading actors, Lily Wetting, is also British.
But Warner's promotion will not end there. The crew and creators of "Inception" will start from London and hold premieres in important cities in various countries around the world, and finally end in Los Angeles.
There is no way around it. As an original film, "Inception" naturally has a much larger scale of publicity than an adapted film.
Fortunately, Nanaya doesn't have to follow the crew on such a journey. He can return to the United States after attending the premiere in London.
Although Lily herself really wanted Nanaya to follow her throughout the journey.
"Welcome, Nanaya."
As soon as Nanaya walked into the VIP room of the premiere venue, Nolan, as the host, hugged Nanaya as a greeting.
"Where's Lily? Where's our female star?"
Nanaya explained simply: "She is still outside being interviewed."
As an important member of the crew, Lily must of course complete her tasks well.
So she remained in the interview area and accepted the bombardment from reporters.
However, compared to the movie itself, these reporters' interest in Lily was obviously focused on the recent apartment invasion case.
However, Lily is no longer the fledgling she once was.
When reporters asked various questions about the invasion, she always cleverly directed them to "Inception".
In this respect, Lily is undoubtedly a competent actor.
"The little girl back then has grown up now. Now that I think about it, time has passed by so quickly."
Nanaya sighed: "The little girl who always followed me around and called me 'brother, brother' has finally become independent."
[Where did you come from, this hardworking old father? ]
Nolan's mouth twitched. This British man didn't quite get Nanaya's sense of humor.
"I heard about your story. Those people really went too far."
"Yeah, it's really scary to be monitored for so long."
There was no need for Nanaya to deny it, since he was the victim in this matter anyway.
"I know that public figures and media reporters have a mutually reinforcing and interdependent relationship, but their actions clearly exceeded the bottom line of what everyone can tolerate."
"Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished."
Nanaya shrugged his shoulders: "Now it's time for them to pay the price."
Nolan deliberately lowered his voice: "I heard that Murdoch Jr. might be sentenced?"
"Probably. I'm not sure. But what I do know is that the total amount of compensation offered by various companies is already higher than the market value of News Corporation before the incident."
There are so many people involved in this wiretapping case, and most of them are well-known figures.
After the evidence of the phone-hacking case was conclusive, everyone filed a huge compensation bill against News Corporation.
"You alone are asking for $1.5 billion, Lily is asking for $500 million, and Ms. Washimine is asking for $3 billion."
Nolan looked at Nanaya with a strange look, which obviously meant that he thought Nanaya and his friends were asking too much.
Nanaya didn't feel embarrassed at all.
When it comes to compensation to News Corporation, Nanaya didn't even have the intention of "asking for a sky-high price and then paying it back", he was just shouting for fun.
Anyway, News Corporation will compensate itself with Fox when the time comes.
Of course, this is just Nanaya's own idea.
Others who are calling for sky-high compensation prices are really planning to make News Corporation bleed.
As the situation has escalated recently, old Murdoch, who had originally retreated behind the scenes, finally stepped to the forefront.
Unfortunately, reality is not a game.
The appearance of the boss behind the scenes does not increase the difficulty of Washimine's collective attack on the News Group copy.
Things have developed to this point, and old Murdoch can no longer clean up his son's mess.
Because according to the results of the investigations conducted by the British and American police, there is countless evidence that Murdoch Jr. is deeply involved in the phone-hacking incident.
Even if he was not the instigator, he was at least an insider.
The only good news for Murdoch Sr. is that the current police charges have not yet been brought against him.
But everyone outside believed that it was only a matter of time before Murdoch Sr. was arrested.
Some people even maliciously speculated that if old Murdoch was really arrested by the police, would he be so angry that he would have a heart attack and die?
Nanaya really didn't want this to happen. After all, he and Shion still had to buy Fox from old Murdoch.
Even if this old gentleman really passed away, he should at least sign the contract to sell Fox.
"Okay, let's not talk about my shitty stuff anymore." Nanaya said to Nolan with a smile, "I heard that the preview of this movie was very well received?"
"No," Nolan said modestly, "As long as the movie sells well, that's fine."
Nanaya said affirmatively: "Believe me, this is definitely not a problem."
After "The Dark Knight", Nolan has already enjoyed a very high status among some veteran movie fans.
This allows Nolan to achieve a unique phenomenon that no previous director has ever achieved - using the director himself as a selling point.
It has been said countless times that the traffic generated by the first batch of fans of modern commercial films is very critical.
Therefore, in order to achieve excellent box office results in the first round of the film, film companies can only choose projects that are naturally prone to traffic.
The highest level are naturally those adapted movies, which have a fan base of the original works, and the first-round box office performance of these movies is usually not too bad.
Following closely behind are the big-name stars.
And Nolan, as a director, actually has the traffic of a superstar.
It is no exaggeration to say that after an original film project is labeled as "Director Nolan", its popularity has become as high as that of a second-tier popular adapted film.
This is a result that even James Cameron has not achieved.
Nanaya is still very envious of this. Although he has many loyal fans, these people are fans of Fate and "Madoka Magica" first and foremost, and only then of him as a director.
And Nolan's fans identify with Nolan as a person.
But what's more interesting is that although Nolan's films all had very good first-day box office results, even surpassing many adapted films.
But apart from the Batman trilogy, his movies' midnight box office was only around 3 million, not much different from James Cameron.
If there were really so many die-hard fans, Nolan's midnight show box office performance should have exceeded 10 million.
[Do Nolan's fans dislike staying up late? ]
Nanaya looked Nolan up and down, wondering the reason.
"By the way, Nanaya."
Nolan then asked, "Does Lily have any schedule later?"
"What's wrong?"
Nolan said: "It was a great collaboration with Lily this time, so I hope to invite her to play the leading role in my new movie."
"A new movie?" Nanaya thought for a moment, "I remember your new movie should be the last one in the Batman trilogy, right?"
"Yes."
Nolan nodded.
He had already said this in public more than once, so it was natural for Nanaya to know about it.
[Lily plays the leading role? Is it Miranda or Catwoman? ]
Because he was so familiar with the trilogy, Nanaya immediately thought of the female character who appeared in "The Dark Knight Rises".
"What character? Is it Catwoman?"
Nanaya asked in a joking tone.
Unexpectedly, Nolan nodded.
"Yeah, how did you know that?"
"Uh... I guessed." Nanaya quickly asked back, "How did you come up with the idea of letting Lily play Catwoman? Her figure is not good enough, right?"
As we all know, Lily's figure is just a step away from being a steel plate.
Nanaya didn't think it was very appropriate to let Lily wear a tights to play the curvy Catwoman.
Do I have to stuff something into the chest of my corset like Jeanne did?
"Forget it. Lily's schedule is full recently."
Nanaya directly declined Nolan's invitation on behalf of Lily.
He didn't want Lily to be criticized by fans because her image was so different from the comics.
When Gal Gadot was chosen by Warner to play Wonder Woman, she was criticized by fans a lot.
Fortunately, Gadot finally restored the image of Wonder Woman she played among fans with her stunning appearance in "Batman v Superman".
But Gadot has long legs, does Lily have them?
Another reason why Nanaya refused was naturally because Catwoman is a DC character.
Lily is the sister-in-law of his Marvel boss. Is it reasonable for her to go to her rival's company to act?
If Lily really wants to act in a superhero movie, Nanaya will definitely recommend Marvel roles to her.
Of course, Nanaya didn't lie either.
Lily will be filming "One Hundred Years' War" back to back after filming FGO.
With these two movies combined, it might be hard for Lily to get any more roles in 2011.
At most, it would be great if you could just make a cameo appearance in a movie.
