Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 28 The Great Director

In the fourth week of November, The Blair Witch, who has created miracles, continues to reap the box office.However, since it has been screened for a while, the attendance rate and box office have dropped a lot, and finally won more than 11 million. It was finally squeezed out of the box office champion by another movie, but it still firmly holds the runner-up. .

The number of theaters where it will be screened in the future will be reduced, but the shock it brings will not dissipate for a while.Because it was released for five weeks, the box office officially broke through [-] million with triumphant songs all the way.

This is a small production with a cost of less than 3 yuan, yet it managed to earn [-] million yuan at the box office in North America.This result is even more surprising than the [-] million box office won by "Independence Day", the total box office champion this year, in North America.

With such impressive achievements ahead, other big companies couldn't sit still and came to ask for cooperation one after another.Although the box office in North America is not much lucrative, there are foreign countries!Fans of several big-ticket warehouses have long been eager to see it. I believe that as long as it is screened there, there is no need to worry about poor box office results.

Laila readily agreed to these requests for cooperation.She understands the truth that everyone earns money, and it is purely courting death to compete with large film companies based on the company's small size.Since they can't win, it's better to give up some profits to build a good relationship, and we don't rule out the possibility of more cooperation in the future.

Of course, the main reason here is that Phoenix has no experience and ability to distribute abroad.No matter how powerful Louise is, it is impossible to master the ability to publish abroad in a short period of time. It is better to adopt a cooperative approach and hand it over to a large company with capabilities and channels.

And when the witch began to land abroad and continue its miracles, Lila had already started planning her next work.

Originally, she wanted to shoot The Grudge with Charlize Theron as the main character.Unexpectedly, Charlize was spotted by a director because of a supporting role in The Witch, and invited her to participate in the shooting of another movie.

While it wasn't impossible without her, Lyra put the Grudge project aside for now.When filming the witch, she used some techniques of oriental mysterious culture, which overlapped with the Grudge in some places. If she released it immediately, it would be said that she was a genius or something.

She has no shortage of subjects, and there is no need to give Cooper, who is watching from the dark, a breakthrough to attack.

She hadn't decided on the second movie yet, but suddenly received a call from her mother, hoping that she would accompany her to a charity auction.

As the sole heir of the Moran family, various social activities are also her due obligations.In the past, it was because of her poor health, but now she has become a famous celebrity all over the world. It would be unreasonable not to participate in such occasions.

And she knew that there was something in it that her mother wanted to show off.The daughter is promising, and it is understandable for a mother to want to show her face in front of a group of friends.That's why she hung up the phone, got on the plane to New York after a little preparation.

"Ms. Moran, hello." It was Janet's assistant Phoebe Bowman who came to pick him up.

"Hey, Phoebe. Where's my mother?" Laila handed her the luggage and got in the car.

"The boss is negotiating with an agent of a company and can't spare time to come over. Do you want to go back and rest first, or do you want to go somewhere?"

"Take me home, I'm a bit tired too." Laila knew that building a company wasn't just about designing good enough clothes.High-end custom clothing needs to be carefully crafted, and low-end mass production cannot be ignored.Mother's busy, that's really busy.

Janet didn't return to the hotel until after nine o'clock in the evening. If she didn't have something to do the next day, she would definitely have a long talk with her daughter all night.

This charity auction is to raise money to help children who are still living in hunger abroad.Those who participated in the auction were all famous people, not only the bosses of major companies, Laila also met the stars of movies and music.

Janet has her own circle, and she can be seen chatting and laughing with people in the fashion industry from time to time.Standing in the corner, Laila watched with a little envy as she moved through the crowd with ease and greeted people fluently in various languages.

She didn't know what to say about it except admiration.In her previous life, in order to realize her ideals, she also wandered in various circles all day long.But because she doesn't have any background, she can't enter the real powerful circle, at most she can get acquainted with the local tyrants.

People from families with real heritage can see distinctive elegance in every move, every word and every action.Laila absorbed little Laila's memories, still not sure she could make them as perfect as her mother's.

"Honey, come here." Janet beckoned to her from the crowd in the middle of the hall.

As Laila walked over, she saw two familiar faces.

"Lila, you're lucky, come and see who's here!" Janet smiled and took her hand and pulled her to her side.

How could Laila fail to recognize it? It was because of their relationship that she fell in love with the profession of director!
"Hello, Mr. Roland Emmerich, and Mr. James Cameron."

The excitement in her voice made everyone present laugh.

"Hi, Laila. I've been listening to Jenny praising her talented daughter for a while, and today I'm finally willing to bring it out for us to meet."

Janet smiled and hugged her daughter tighter: "My daughter is so good, of course she has to hide it deeper. What if she is abducted by those brats!"

The two great directors laughed out loud, and Laila could only shake her head dumbfounded.

"It's an honor to meet both of you, I really like your movies."

She's not flattering.In her previous life, she wanted to make a movie when she saw Titanic. She still remembers the shock when she saw it in the cinema for the first time.At that time, she suddenly realized that movies can still be made in this way, and they can also tell stories so realistically and grandly.

Whether it is Cameron's "Terminator", "Titanic", "Avatar", or Roland's "Independence Day", "Godzilla", "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012", they are all her favorite films.

They have one thing in common, that is special effects!
Laila loved special effects, too, or was obsessed with them.But if you want to do a good job in special effects, there is no other shortcut except to pile up money.In the previous life, it took ten years to get the funds to shoot an ordinary movie, and the special effects blockbusters are just floating clouds.

"I've seen your witch too, it's great." Roland was a kind gentleman, and he gave off a very friendly feeling when he smiled.

This relieved Laila a lot of her nervousness at the beginning. She thought she would be too nervous to speak in front of her idol.
