Chapter 266: Time Magazine Interview (2)

As she said this, she looked out the window, as if she was recalling through the empty space outside the experience of losing the joy of her childhood. 13579246810

The photographer was attracted by her expression, and involuntarily raised the camera again to take a picture of her expression at the moment.

Susie carefully recorded her words on a voice recorder, and then continued to ask: "Why did you choose a horror movie in the first place, and why did you choose DV to shoot it?"

"There's really no big reason for that. Leila smiled, "I had just inherited my father's film company, and to be honest, the company was in a very bad state at the time, and it was a miracle that it didn't go bankrupt. I thought that if I wanted to build a company, I had to make my own films, but the company was completely bankrupt, and I couldn't come up with a film that supported my budget too much, so I finally chose a genre with a relatively low cost. ”

Susie showed a surprised expression just right: "So that's the case." So how do you feel when you see the movie released around the world and hit an incredible box office?"

"Very happy. It feels like a dream has been realized. Leila laughs: "I didn't think there would be so much box office when I was shooting, and I was taken aback at the time. ”

Susie asks a lot of questions about her past, including troubles and anecdotes from the first three films, and a bet with Cooper about "kissing the ass", and then turns to the present.

"Recently, the crew of the thirteenth warrior has been compared to the movie you are making now, and even they said in front of the media that they don't mind really comparing with you, what do you think about this matter?"

This is the hotspot that the public is most concerned about at present, and they can't wait to sharpen their knives to want Laila to stand up and take over the battle letter, but Laila has been "hiding" in the studio to work, and no media has had the opportunity to interview her so far. Now that Susie has this precious opportunity, she will naturally not let go of the hottest topic today.

Leila propped her chin on one hand and smiled meaningfully, "I don't think there's a reason for me to say no if they want that." ”

Susie's eyes lit up: "That means they will take on their challenge, right? Even with a budget of more than 30 million versus nearly 200 million?"

"Yes. This is the first time that Leila has expressed her declaration to the outside world that she has taken over the war letter. "They want to have fun with their fans, so why should I disappoint them?"

Susie was excited, and this was probably the biggest news she'd ever gotten when she came here. Many of the questions mentioned above have been widely circulated and can only be regarded as routine questions. But these are undoubtedly weighty revelations! Does anyone not like the revelations about Leila?

!

She had a hunch that this magazine would have a very impressive sales!

"Can you tell us a little bit about the new movie? I think a lot of people are as interested in your new movie as I am. ”

Leila smiled slightly: "Actually, there is nothing to hide. This time I wanted to make a breakthrough, the new movie will be a woman's revenge story. ”

Susie asked in surprise, "You mean it's going to be a very capable heroine, not a male lead?" Even if she is not a person in the film industry, she knows that there may be some great female characters in the usual movies, but there are simply too few who can become the heroine.

"That's right, or it can be said that there will be no male protagonist in this movie at all. Leila replied.

Susie couldn't help but admire her boldness: "This is really a breakthrough, the last female action character that impressed me was probably Sigourney in Alien." ”

"What makes you want to make an action movie with a female lead? I'm sure you know that in Hollywood, it's probably not very likely that a movie like this will succeed. "Men prefer sexy and beautiful female characters, how many will fall in love with the heroine because of her fighting?

Of course, in order to make money, the new company will be mixed up with awards by the way, but this is definitely something that Leila will not say.

"I think Hollywood undervalues women. It's not just movies that draw them to the cinema. For example, in comics, there are Superman and Batman, but there are also Catwoman and Black, and there are men and women in this world, and it would be too wasteful to focus only on one aspect. ”

Susie could understand her words, but also felt that she might be too optimistic.

"You're right, just by looking at the number of male protagonists, you know that there is not much room for female characters to survive. I remember that the investment in this film is more than 30 million, which is not a small investment for your company, right?

Leila thought for a moment and replied, "Why should we follow the path created by others? If all directors make their own films based on the previous successful examples, how can movies develop? Don't you think it's interesting to use your own strength to follow the path of your own creation?"

Susie sighed, "I think I understand why you've succeeded so many times." There are no thoughtful and imprisoned thoughts in your eyes, and the broad horizons you have allow you to see your goals further. Director Moran, I must be your first wave of audience when the new movie comes out, and I hope to grab tickets for the premiere when the time comes. She laughed.

"Okay. Leila also chuckled: "When the time comes, I will give you a ticket for the premiere and look forward to your arrival." ”

The interview, which was originally scheduled for an hour, took an hour and a half to end before I knew it. Susie is a very good journalist, and in the casual conversation, she gradually closes her relationship with Leila, and she also gets more information than expected.

After a few photographs, the people of the era finally left, and Leila stood in front of the window of her room and watched them being taken out of the filming location.

Suzie: They were happy because they got a lot of things to break the news in this interview. She thought that her conversation skills had impressed Leila to get the information, but she didn't know that it was actually Laila who deliberately borrowed her mouth to release some of the film's information.

She wanted to test the outside world's reaction to the heroine's action movie, and wanted to know what the public would think of such a movie. After all, it won't be until years before the actual killing of Bill comes out. She created her ahead of time, and I don't know if it will have other unexpected effects.

There are differences in the thinking of people in each era, such as the pursuit of gay men by rotten women in later generations, which was unimaginable in the past. What worries her is whether the audience at this point in time will be a little biased against female action movies, and if that is the case, the possibility that she will fail is not impossible.

But if she gave up such a movie because of the possibility of failure, she would also feel that it would be a pity. In order not to regret not making this film for most of her life in the future, she decided to create the movie herself.
