Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 31 Tobin Bell
No matter what time it was, she was still thinking about the box office. After recovering from her senses, Laila also felt amused that her brain had opened up.

And she really laughed out loud, laughing happily when the surroundings were still screaming, and when the plane was still shaking and bumping in the turbulence.

"You are such an optimistic child." The people sitting not far away couldn't help being surprised when they saw her smile.

Leila looked around and saw a middle-aged man looking at her.The man didn't look kind, even ferocious, but after smiling, he eased a little strangely, making him go from "children will be scared to cry" to "children will only feel scared when they see it." "The point.

"Thank you, Mr. Tobin Bell." Lyra returned him with a friendly smile, not intimidated by that ferocious face.

"You know me?" Tobin Bell was even more surprised.

"Of course, I've seen your movies. You're one of my favorite actors." Lyra laughed.

Tobin laughed: "I thought only criminals would like me, you know the characters I play are all bad guys."

"Being able to play a bad guy well is also an ability, isn't it?"

"Hehe." Tobin was in a very happy mood: "Lovely lady, you can really talk. But are you really not afraid?" She can still laugh on a plane that is frighteningly turbulent. How brave is this lady? Yes, or are you too nervous?He found himself unable not to wonder about it.

Laila hooked the corners of her lips: "There is an old saying in the ancient eastern country: The king of hell wants you to die on the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch. It probably means that the god of death wants to take your life, so you can't escape." opened."

"What a horrifying but philosophical statement." Tobin sighed with emotion.

At this time, the plane finally stopped turbulent, and the voice of the captain came out from the radio, telling everyone that the turbulence had passed, and it would land safely after a while.

Whether for the people on the plane or Laila, there is a feeling of survival after disaster.And being able to meet Tobin Bell here made her feel that her trip was worthwhile.

Speaking of this name, not many people may remember it, but when it comes to the jigsaw in "Chain Saw", many people will know who he is.

Since 2004, every "SAW" has brought a whirlwind of horror to audiences who like horror movies all over the world, and each of them has blinded people's eyes with excellent results.

Because of his own image, Tobin mostly played criminals and serial killers, but his most dazzling and eye-catching role is jigsaw.At least in Laila's opinion, if Saw hadn't asked him to play Jigsaw, the charm of the film would have dropped by at least [-]-[-]%.

"Mr. Tobin, do you have any plans to appear in the near future?" Laila felt that she knew what to do in the second movie.

Tobin smiled and shook his head: "Probably there are no criminals who need to be moved to the big screen."

Lila was amused by him: "Then why don't you try to create a more memorable criminal with me?"

"With you?" Tobin froze.

"Sorry, forgot to introduce myself. My name is Laila Moran and I'm a director."

"Ah!" Tobin's eyes widened in surprise, "Laila Moran, is that the young director who made "The Blair Witch"?"

"Yes, if there is no second Blair Witch, then I should be right." Laila joked with a smile.

Tobin was really taken aback.As an actor, even if he is not a particularly famous actor, he will definitely pay attention to the entertainment and movie circles.

To say that the most famous movie this year is not "Independence Day", which topped the global box office with more than 8 million US dollars, but "The Blair Witch", which was filmed in an innovative pseudo-documentary technique.It has won the global box office of 1 million at a cost of less than 2000 US dollars, and it has just been released abroad. As long as it is not suddenly banned, I believe it is not difficult to break through 1 million, or even 5 million. impossible.

What a terrible profit ratio is this?It can be said to be the movie with the highest return on investment of all time.

And not only the movie has received attention, but the director of the movie has gradually become familiar to the world. An 18-year-old girl, who was almost dying of illness, inherited a small theater after recovering. She wrote, directed and produced a miraculous film for her first film.

The plot that can only be seen in this kind of movie actually happened in Hollywood, which is even more exciting than the movie.

Tobin looked at Laila in amazement. At first he thought that the report must have been exaggerated. Now that he saw the real person, she could easily laugh out loud when she saw the turbulence of the plane and everyone panicked.This calmness, uniqueness, and... madness alone represent that she has the potential to become a famous director.

If you are not crazy, you cannot survive. If you want to make achievements in a certain area, there must be abnormal people.

"I didn't expect to meet the hottest director in Hollywood today. It's an honor." He said with emotion.

Lila smiled: "I'm so hot, I believe there are not a few people who are waiting to see me stumble."

Tobin knew what she was referring to when he thought of an article he read in the newspaper two days ago.

"You mean the article about a director?"

Laila shrugged, "Yes."

The so-called director refers to a director who has only made one successful film in his life and has no more masterpieces.

Leaving aside, take the original director of The Witch, Daniel Mirek, for example.After the Blair Witch, there has been no eye-catching works, the reputation is not high, and the quality is not good.

In addition, there are Richard Salafie's "Bones in Shattering", the pioneer of racing movies, and Leonard Custer, the director of "Honeymoon Killer", which has a great influence on the road killer movies of later generations, and so on.

None of them lacked talent, and some of them had created impressive achievements at the time, but what happened later?

Either dim down, or completely disappear from the audience's sight.

I also know that there is no one else who will write such an article except Cooper.Perhaps because he realized that the energy behind Laila was beyond his ability to fight, this time he did not attack directly, but chose a more tactful way to present the previous examples in front of readers, allowing readers to judge Laila's future performance.

Only 18 years old; the first work is a DV movie that seems to be a joke, there is no trick at all; the box office is completely earned by hype...

Can such a director have another outstanding work?

Cooper didn't state his inference, but he made it very clear from the end of his words, that is——NO!

When Laila read this article, she also felt that Cooper had some skills.After all, the director of The Witch really faded away, and no more masterpieces appeared.

He's right, the pseudo-documentary films were brought back to life again with "Ghost Story" a few years later, and there have been some successes, but not many.
