"Your fans are very loyal, many of them have been cultivated many years ago, and you haven't made bad movies, so they don't just like you in movies, but they also adore you in it. That alone can give you a guarantee of a large share of the box office. ”

Leila blinked, trying to retort, but ultimately didn't say anything. Come to think of it, he really has a point. If there is a director who has always been able to make movies that he likes to watch, and he will bring one or two films every year for ten years, he will definitely go to the show when he has a film released again.

Nolan continued, "Even if it's a film that's not popular, you can dig out a story that the audience will love. I really don't want to be the most competitive with someone like you, even if people all over the world are not optimistic about your film, I will stay away, because no one knows what you added to the film. ”

Lyra burst into laughter: "Don't say like I'm poisoning my movie, okay? I love anyone who comes to see my movie!"

Nolan rolled his eyelids, "You know what I mean. ”

"Yes, I know. Leila put away her smile, her ice-blue eyes looking out the window at the distant buildings as if they could pierce the clouds: "They probably think my new movie is funny, too."

According to what the media said, the script is written in two weeks, filmed in a few months, and then released the next year, no matter how you look at it, it is the configuration of a standard bad movie. The most important thing is that she also let go before filming, saying that she wanted to break the record of the first box office in film history. Well, that's the standard for a bad movie again.

I don't know how many bad movies have said how much box office they want to achieve before their release, or how many praises they have, but they have been miserable one by one.

"Yes, just looking at the media reports, you will think that you are going to make an epic bad movie. Who said that it was the result of your anger? ”

It seems to have become a convention, as long as it is Lyra's film, it will basically be looked down by the media for a while.

This is also something that can't be helped, with Cooper as a person who can say a bunch of provocative words anytime and anywhere, he naturally doesn't have to worry that the outside world can't find a reason to sing down. There is also a more important reason, which is that every time Leila makes a movie, she is a bit maverick.

For example, she initially made a film with a very low cost (100,000 yuan) and a DV, how can people be optimistic about her? I believe that anyone will regard her actions as a trick played by a young lady who has money and nowhere to spend.

Later, she was commissioned to make an oriental kung fu film, as well as a heroine's revenge film, and every time she hardly saw any profit, and the media, especially film critics, couldn't find a reason to be optimistic about her.

Later, it was even more serious, and pirate films had already been hit several times before "Pirates of the Caribbean" came out, so much so that the entire film industry said that pirate films were dead. After knowing that she made a pirate film, who would think that she would be successful?

Needless to say this time, everyone knows how the current "Avengers" came out, and it is simply a film that was forced out in anger. Let's take a look at the time of writing the script, the time of shooting, and the time of post-production......

How does this make the outside world optimistic about her?

Not to mention the experienced media, even some "own people" are trying to figure out how to make her accept the failure of the movie smoothly without making her sad.

"What can I say?" Leila spread her hands speechlessly, "I said I was going to break the box office record of "Avatar", and it turned out that a bunch of people believed that I made a bad movie. ”

Nolan laughed at her words. He could imagine her depression. If he made a satisfactory work and wanted to break the record, but it was unanimously regarded as a bad movie by the outside world, he would probably be angry.

"Why don't you do some PR?"

"PR is definitely something to do. "It's just not the time yet. Leila didn't say what she was thinking. Although she can do it every time, it's really a bit of a shame for her to put her mind on the bright side.

And she is even more worried, if she not only does not hate the criticism from the outside world, but likes the idea of spreading out, what if no one accompanies her to hype it up in the future?

Nolan nodded, also feeling that he was thinking a little too much. That's Leila Moran, who could do better than her in terms of publicity planning.

"Remember to reserve a seat for me at the premiere. I'm really looking forward to seeing the number one name in film history fall into our company. ”

Leila smiled and raised her glass to him, "I like it when you use the word 'our company.'" Don't worry, I'll leave you two places and bring your wife with me. ”

Nolan also raised his champagne glass: "Then I'll wait." ”

After leaving the party, Leila went home and turned on her computer to browse the information on the Internet.

She always felt that there was something wrong with meeting two Warner Bros. executives there, not that they were wrong to appear on that occasion, but that they felt a little out of place no matter how they thought about it.

Even if it was a relationship that they had worked together once before, they didn't have to run to her to say how good their movie was, and the most surprising thing was that they actually put "Green Lantern" before her "Avengers". In her opinion, this is definitely a decision-making mistake, even if they are really optimistic about that movie, for the sake of the box office of the film, they shouldn't put the movie before themselves, right?

As I said before, films of the same genre will definitely divert a lot of box office. Unless they are 100% confident that she has made an epic bad movie, they can't bother them much at all.

But is it possible? Do you think that she, a director who has never made a bad movie since her debut, happens to make a bad movie that can't threaten their box office at all? Or is it the one bent on breaking the box office record?

It doesn't matter if she checks it, she found some special remarks on the Internet. can't be said to be special, it's almost the kind of thing that says how her movies will be put off, which is basically the same as the tone of some other media. But there is a difference in these statements, that is, there is something to be said.

Well, Cooper always had a point, but Layla didn't believe he would start contacting the trolls. Although it is not "respecting the old and loving the young" to say this, he really does not have such a smart brain and means.

Judging from her experience on the Internet for so many years, those are definitely the handiwork of the water army, and they are also relatively clever water army. Of course, there is still some distance from the mature sailors under her command, but it cannot be denied that they are basically the best people she has ever seen.

In the past, Cooper criticized her basically by himself, and at most he contacted some people who had a good relationship with her to attack her. Many of his friends are film critics, and they also have their own set of picks, so it can be said that when they twist into a ball to sing about her, they are still quite energetic.
