Chapter 1164: Maniac
Two weeks went by in a flash.
The closer you get to the release of the movie, the more you can see reports about "The Avengers" in various media outlets, large and small. Some of them were advertisements that Leila paid for, and some of them were brought over by the media themselves.
Looking at the fact that multimedia is willing to promote the film for free, you can see how influential Leila is. What kind of movie can make the media want to help them promote it for free, it must be a film that is full of topics and can make the media earn.
When it comes to topics, Lyra is never lacking in those.
There are so many topics around her, whether it's her accomplishments, her man, her children, her family, her career, there are always so many topics for people to explore with interest.
And this movie has set off a storm of superheroes around the world!
will cause this kind of grand occasion, of course, it has something to do with the more than 200 million publicity expenses she has invested in. And what can't be ignored is the gimmick of the movie itself, that is, Leila personally promised to use it to break the miraculous box office record of "Avatar" of 3 billion!
It's just the box office of a movie, and it's scary to think about.
Converted to a $3 billion company, that's quite a good company. And it's just the box office of a movie, even if it's the number one box office record in film history, it's still an incredible record.
In fact, since "Titanic" became the No. 1 box office in film history, almost every year there are films that say they will surpass that record when they are promoted. As a result, more than ten years later, director Cameron himself set a new record with his new work, and also made other directors look at that terrible number from afar, and never said anything like that again, so as not to be regarded as a joke.
In the case that many films have exceeded one billion, it is not too much of a luxury to say that they want to break through 1.8 billion. But when there is no breakthrough of 1.8 billion, he directly targets 3 billion, if he is not an open-mouthed madman, he will not have so much courage to treat his reputation as a joke.
Just when everyone had the same idea, thinking that the box office record of 3 billion would continue to be maintained for more than ten years, or even decades, a "madman" stood up and really said what he wanted to challenge.
If other people say it, they will say it, and everyone will only laugh when they see it, and it will be regarded as a somewhat inferior propaganda method. But when this "madman" is Leila Moran, the topicality generated is definitely not comparable to other directors.
Before "Avatar" appeared, some film critics predicted that if someone could break the box office record of "Titanic" at that time, there would be no second person besides Leila!
In fact, even after the appearance of "Avatar", there are still similar predictions. also thinks that it can break the record of "Avatar", not counting James himself, only Laila can do it.
In the box office list of film history, the movies she shot alone occupy half of the country, not to mention the great box office record that she has not broken for two decades at the box office.
If there is one person who can become the new box office No. 1 in film history, it seems that there is really no one else who can do such a thing except her.
Originally, everyone wanted to wait to see how long she could break that record, or if director Cameron himself would set a higher and more terrifying box office record for everyone to look up to.
What everyone didn't expect was that it didn't take a few years, in the year that "Avatar" lost at the Oscars, Leila personally released her words that she was going to challenge the first box office record in film history.
Those who know the situation at that time know what kind of unfavorable public opinion storm she was in at that time, so she would say "big words" that seemed to be brainless.
But what is said is what is said, and what people are concerned about is whether she can really break records. Whether she said this with the intention of proving herself, or trying to prove that female directors are not inferior to male directors, she did say that and really made a movie to achieve her goal.
Judging from the movie "The Avengers" alone, there is indeed the possibility of a fire. There will be a lot of superheroes in it, and there will also be a lot of special effects shots. With Leila's ability to make movies, it shouldn't be a problem to win a billion. But 3 billion ...... Even the most believable of her would have thought it wasn't a reasonable box office.
The main reason is that the media reports are also very clear, the first point is that the movie was decided to shoot in her "anger".
Easter eggs can be seen after the end of several superhero movies that have been released before, which means that the movie is indeed on the schedule, but it is not necessarily when it will be filmed. If it is confirmed that it will be filmed in the near future, it will definitely be released before the shooting.
The lack of information to shoot indicates that Leila did decide to shoot the film "ahead of schedule" under "impulse", which also means that the film will be shot in a hurry and the preparation for the film will be lacking.
The second point is clear to everyone, that is, Moran only took two weeks to set the script, and in a year to make the film! One year! That's a special effects movie, and one year is not enough time to even make special effects, right? What else can you look forward to in a hastily made movie?
If it weren't for Leila's reputation for never making bad movies, I'm afraid that just her actions would have made her fans lose confidence in her.
Given her previous successes, fans are left with excuses to explain her. thinks that she has a plan to shoot "The Avengers" for a long time, maybe the script has been written a long time ago, so it is not unacceptable to revise it in two weeks, right?
Let's talk about special effects.
Maybe there aren't a lot of special effects in other people's movies, and it's very difficult to do? Maybe only a few shots can make a movie look good? Maybe because the special effects company is Leila's, she can use all the people to help her shorten the production cycle?
I have to say that what Lyra's fans said sounds quite reasonable, at least many people believe it.
In the eyes of fans, Leila is the most powerful, and everything she does is for good purposes. It's a pity that there are still many people who are not her fans, so they can't see how shining Leila is surrounded by the aura of idols.
Some of the more sensible movie fans, and the most popular part of the moviegoers, don't care about the box office, and they don't care about Leila's previous results. They only focus on the upcoming one.
