Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 35 Gabby
Entering December, the Christmas holidays are not far away.Under Louise's reminder, Leila gave the company staff a big vacation, except for those who had to stay on duty, all went to enjoy their annual leave.

This year, a witch made the company a lot of money. Although the money has not been fully obtained, it is enough to send a big red envelope to the company's employees and several actors.After the vacation is over, the second movie will be shot, and it will be a luxury to have a good rest by then.

Laila doesn't want to go to her grandfather's side yet. The plot of "Saw" has been spinning in her mind. If she doesn't finish it, she believes that no matter what she does, she will not devote herself to it.

Speaking of which, she has disliked the translation of the name Chainsaw since before, because it is easy to be confused with the previous "German Chainsaw Massacre", or it is regarded as an imitation.In fact, there is no chainsaw in the whole movie, only a small saw has not been shot in a few shots.

The name of the movie "SAW" actually comes from jigsaw (jigsaw). In the movie, the jigsaw will leave a jigsaw pattern on the body of the deceased, hence the name.

Laila wanted to make this movie, so she still used the original name of "SAW" after much deliberation. As for what the hell it would be translated into in foreign countries, she was already too lazy to care.Out of sight is out of mind.

Compared with the Blair Witch, this movie still has some plots, and it takes another route, using visual impact and various mechanisms to scare the audience.Therefore, whether SAW can succeed or not mainly depends on the ability of the prop master.

After much deliberation, Laila still called Louise and asked her to call Todd, the prop master, to where she lived, and wanted to talk to him.It's just that old Todd was actually sick at this critical moment, and he was still seriously ill. His son Gabby Carter came here instead.

Lila was a little disappointed, but she still received Gabi, a 16-year-old prop master who was said to be better than his father.

"Wow, this place is really beautiful." After entering the mansion in Beverly Hills, Gabi's eyes widened and she exclaimed from time to time.

"Thank you." Lila asked him to sit in the living room. "How is Todd? You know we need him."

Gabi took a sip of his drink and said, "He's still the same. He had a back injury before, and he has to lie in bed some days every year. Don't worry, even if he can't get up, I can still finish his work." After finishing speaking, he Looking at Lila with raised eyebrows: "You won't fire him because of this, will you? We really need this job to eat."

When he spoke, he looked at Lila with the same eyes as an exploiting capitalist.

But Leila is a person who has lived two lives, so why can't she understand his true intentions.

"Don't test me. As long as you can really meet my requirements, even if you are only 16 years old, I will give you the treatment you deserve. But the ugly words are also mentioned before. If you are not capable and cannot complete the work I give you, I would fire you even if you were Todd's son."

"Deal." Gabi stood up and clapped her hands with her, and said indifferently: "That stubborn old man in my family is always unwilling to admit that I am better than him. Give me a chance and you will see my ability!"

Laila hooked her lips: "If you want a chance, you have it now. I hope you won't let me down."

"You won't regret it!" He raised his chin confidently.

Lyra wondered where his confidence came from, whether it came from his strength or his youthful rebellion and arrogance, and the quickest way to answer that question was to try it out for himself.

"Let me see what you can do." Laila took out a pencil drawing, "First I need a doll."

Gabi took the drawing paper, looked at the doll drawn on it, and whistled: "Cool! This is exactly what I want to do. I think we will have a good time working together."

Lila looked at him with a smile: "If you do it, what color do you plan to use? I need an evil and weird character, it will occupy an important position in the movie, and maybe it will also become the home of thousands of families. collection."

The collection she mentioned refers to the peripherals related to movies.There are not many opportunities for a movie to really recover its money from the box office, and most of it comes from DVD, cable TV and peripherals.

Laila knows exactly what effect this BILLY doll will bring after the hit movie, and how many people will like it, how could she not prepare early when she knows that there is money to be made?

Gabby stroked his chin and thought for a while: "I will make it have a face like a white paper, with red eyes and red lips. Your high cheekbones on both sides are really cool, and those mosquito-repellent coils on it are so cool." How about painting the circle in red? Using pure white to set off the bloody scarlet will definitely make many people love and hate it!"

Laila was amazed at how quickly he could tell what the doll really looked like, and it seemed the little guy was really good.

"You're right, it's a good idea." She fetched a crayon, and replaced the blacked-out place with red at the place he said.

Gabi frowned as she watched the doll gradually take shape: "Why do you still feel that something is not enough?"

Laila asked with a smile, "Where is it not enough?"

Gabi thought for a while, and suddenly remembered something when he saw the eyes: "Yes, the eyes! It's just that the red eyeballs are not enough. I think it's better to paint the white part of the eyes black. It's pitch black, and it matches the blood-like color." Red is exactly what demons have eyes, isn't it?"

If Laila hadn't still held the painting in her hand, she would have clapped her hands and praised the idea: "So?" She blacked out the whites of her eyes in two or three strokes.

"That's right, that's right!" Gabi eagerly moved to her side, holding the picture album as if seeing a treasure: "Look, how charming it is! I'm going to be crazy about it!"

Lyra laughed. "I don't doubt that at all." He was crazy enough now.But because of this, she also recognized him in her heart, at least in terms of being a doll.

"Next, I need some props."

Lila didn't take out the previous drawings, but directly said what she wanted.After knowing little Gabi's genius, she doesn't want to use the things from her previous life to imprison his innovation. Who can guarantee that what he came up with will not be better than the previous one?
She said what she needed one by one, and Gabi recorded it down, and asked her own questions from time to time.

His questions are many, but each points to a key point.Sometimes she expresses her own thoughts, which makes Laila think of new ideas.As time went by, the discussions between the two became more and more intense from the harmony at the beginning.

I don’t know if it’s because Gabi’s awe of Laila, the boss, has disappeared, or he has become stubborn when it comes to his work. In short, when Claire came out hearing the noise outside, what she saw were two People are arguing over a prop.
