Seeing the middle and senior management of two film companies running in front of her for a film that would pounce on her pants, I really don't feel too embarrassed. What could she say, say that she didn't take their films seriously, that she didn't feel like they could be a stumbling block for her, that she didn't even see them as opponents?

Those words must not be said, otherwise it will not be an embarrassing conversation, but a grudge. But beyond that, it's simply impossible for her to make some bullish remarks against her will. What if what she says here gets out and is advertised as a film that Leila is optimistic about? More than once, she was caught going to see a certain film and inadvertently drove up the box office.

"Superhero films are indeed the most popular and safest direction for the audience right now. But if you ignore the other aspects because of that, you're putting the cart before the horse, don't you?"

Leila wanted to make them accept the reality in advance in a softer way, so as not to get too seriously injured when they arrived. It's just that her kindness has become a wariness of her opponents in the eyes of them. This is obviously something they are very happy to see, and being able to be regarded as an opponent to be wary of by Leila Moran shows that they have indeed done the right thing.

Director Moran is right. What superhero movies need is big scenes, more special effects, and better stories! Hehe. ”

Leila really can't take it anymore. It's so tiring to talk to these people, why don't you have any eyesight at all? What do you want to do in front of her to brag about how good your film is?

She really wants to tell them in advance what that movie will look like, with a cost of 200 million, a global box office of more than 100 million, and the new series will be directly put into 2020 before it will be restarted. That's right, it's 9 years from now! It will take them 9 years to wash away the bad feelings of the audience about that movie!

(By the way, DC also failed because of the failure of "Catwoman" in 04, and did not dare to set foot in female superheroes again until 2017, but fortunately, "Wonder Woman" did not disappoint them, winning a good global box office of 822 million at a cost of 149 million.) Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise it is estimated that they will never dare to make any more movies about female superheroes in the future. ）

Now that they're saying these things in front of her, aren't they really stupid? Even if they don't know that the movie is going to pounce, they don't have to be embarrassed in front of her, right? Or do they know something she doesn't know? Or is there some other purpose?

Just when she was thinking nonsense, Director Nolan came over.

The two Warner Bros. executives gracefully stopped the conversation and didn't continue, ceding the space to two of Hollywood's most popular directors.

"Thank you for coming, you know? you just saved my life!"

Nolan was taken aback by what she said, "What's going on?"

Layla shrugged, "They were just telling me about their Green Lantern." ”

"Oh, I know that. I heard that they put a lot of effort into it and have been promoting it in a high profile since the beginning of the casting. I watched the released video some time ago, and it seems to be quite interesting. "Nolan hasn't read the comics, and it's all about the movies.

Leila smiled and shook her head.

"What? what do you think......" Nolan looked around and lowered his voice, "They're going to fail?"

Leila definitely can't say that the other party will fail, after all, she can't "predict" that kind of thing before it is released. But she also has her explanation: "They have been talking to me about the movie just now, and I can tell from their words that they have invested a lot in special effects this time. ”

Nolan understood: "That's very necessary, commercial films are almost inseparable from special effects in big scenes." After "Avatar", everyone thought that the audience liked to watch special effects, especially special effects for big scenes. ”

"What do you think?" Leila wanted to hear what the genius director thought.

"I think the movie still has to look at the script. A good frame is what makes the building up. At most, special effects are decorations on the outside, which will make the building beautiful, but without them, it won't make much of a difference. ”

Nolan is one of the older directors, as evidenced by his insistence on using film to make films. He has something he insists on, not that he doesn't like special effects, but that he knows what to use them for. In her previous life before her rebirth, Nolan continued to shoot on film, believing that only 70mm film could produce the results he wanted.

However, the progress of science and technology will eventually choose cheaper and more convenient technology, and the disappearance of film in history is also in line with the trend of history. Even if he himself said that "the disappearance of film will be a shame for the film industry", it will not be able to stop it.

"You're right!" Leila is also a person who attaches great importance to the script: "If you can't even prepare the frame, what's the use of a beautiful building? It's a pity that in the current film industry, many people just see what to make money and desperately go there, but forget the most basic things." The audience wants to watch a good movie, even if it is not so popular, as long as the effect is made, it will still be loved by the public. ”

The West is a capitalist society, and huge capital flows will only flow in the direction they think they will make money. As a result, a large number of special effects blockbusters emerged after "Avatar", under the slogan that the audience likes to watch, and then pounced into a bunch of dogs one after another.

Superhero movies are indeed the hottest genre right now, and the DC below Warner Bros. has more and more popular superheroes than Marvel. But in the same way, there are not no superheroes who have been saved, such as Halle Berry's "Catwoman", and "Fantastic Four", "Hulk", "Daredevil" and so on.

Nolan shrugged indifferently, anyway, the film has nothing to do with him, Warner Bros. and him are just a partnership, unless the other party goes bankrupt because of a movie hitting the street, it will not have any effect on him. He is now busy filming "Inception", and he doesn't know what to wait for for "The Dark Knight Rises" with him.

"What makes me wonder is why they put the film before yours. If it were me, the same type of film would definitely leave you for more than a month!"

Leila was amused by his serious expression: "Don't say like you're afraid of me, you're also one of the hottest directors in Hollywood, okay?"

"To be honest, I'm not afraid, but it's very unwise to compete with you for the box office. In order to prove that he was not talking casually, or slapping the boss's ass, Nolan explained to her one by one.
