Chapter 28: The Great Director

In the fourth week of November, the miracle-wreaking witch Blair continued to reap the box office. However, because it has been screened for a period of time, the attendance and box office have dropped a lot, and finally won more than 20 million, and finally was squeezed out of the box office champion position by another movie, but it still firmly occupied the runner-up.

The number of theaters shown will decrease a bit, but the shock will not dissipate for a while. Because of the five weeks of release, the box office officially exceeded 100 million under the triumph all the way.

This is a small production that costs less than 100,000 yuan, and it can win 100 million at the box office in North America. This result is even more surprising than the 300 million box office won by the overall box office champion "Independence Day" in North America this year.

With such a brilliant achievement in front, how can other large companies still sit still, and they have come to the door to ask for cooperation. Although there is not much oil and water at the box office in North America, there is one abroad! Fans of several big box office warehouses have long been eager to take a look, and I believe that as long as it is screened there, there is no need to worry about bad box office results at all.

Leila readily agreed to these requests for cooperation. She understands very well the truth that everyone makes money when they have money, and if she wants to compete with a large film company with the small body of the company, it is purely to find death. Since it can't be beaten, it is better to appropriately give up some profits to build a good relationship, and it is not ruled out that there will be more cooperation in the future.

Of course, the main reason here is that the immortal bird does not have the experience and ability to distribute abroad. No matter how good Louise is, it is impossible to master the ability to distribute abroad in a short period of time, so it is better to take a cooperative approach and hand it over to a large company with the ability and channels.

And just as the witch began to land abroad to continue its miracles, Leila was already planning her next work.

Originally, she wanted to use Charlize Theron as the protagonist to shoot The Grudge. Unexpectedly, Charlize was favored by a director because of a supporting role in The Witch and invited her to participate in the filming of another movie.

Although it wasn't impossible to live without her, Lyra put the curse plan aside for the time being. When filming witches, she used some techniques of oriental mystical culture, and there was some overlap with the curse in some places, and if she was launched immediately, it would inevitably be said that Jiang Lang did something.

She has no shortage of subject matter, and there is no need to give Cooper, who is eyeing in the shadows, a breakthrough to attack.

She hadn't thought about the second movie yet, when she suddenly received a call from her mother, asking her to accompany her to a charity auction.

As the sole heir of the Moran family, various social activities are also her obligations. In the past, she was not in good health, but now she has become a celebrity who is popular all over the world, and it would be a bit too much to say if she didn't participate in such occasions again.

And she knew that there was also a meaning that her mother wanted to show off. The daughter is out of breath, and it is understandable that the mother wants to show her face in front of a group of friends. That's why she hung up the phone, got on the plane to New York with a little preparation.

"Hello, Miss Moran. "It was Janet's assistant Phoebe Bowman who came to pick him up.

"Hi, Phoebe. Where's my mom?" Leila handed her her luggage and got into the car.

"The boss is negotiating with an agent of a company and can't spare time to come over for the time being. Are you going to go back and rest first, or are you going somewhere?"

"Send me back, I'm a little tired too. "Leila knows that building a company isn't just about designing clothes that's good enough. High-end custom clothing needs to be carefully carved, and the mass production of low-end cannot be ignored. Mother's busy, that's really busy.

It wasn't until about nine o'clock in the evening that Janet returned to the hotel, and if she hadn't had something to do the next day, she would have held her daughter and talked all night.

The purpose of the charity auction was to raise money for children living abroad who are still living in hunger. The auctions were attended by celebrities, not only the owners of major companies, but also the stars of movies and music.

Janet has her own circle, and from time to time she can be seen chatting and laughing with people in the fashion industry. Leila stood in the corner, watching with some envy as she shuttled through the crowd with ease, greeting people fluently in various Chinese.

She didn't know what to say anything but adoration. In her previous life, in order to realize her ideals, she also mixed in various circles all day long. But because she has no background, she can't enter the circle of real strength, at most she is familiar with the local tyrants.

People from families with real backgrounds can see a unique elegance in every move, word and deed. Leila absorbed little Leila's memories, still not sure that she would be as perfect as her mother.

"Come here, dear. Janet beckoned to her from the crowd in the middle of the hall.

As Lyra walked over, she saw two familiar faces.

"You're in luck, Leila, come and see who's here!" Janet smiled and took her hand and pulled her to her side.

How could Leila not recognize that she would fall in love with the profession of director or because of their relationship!

"Hello, Mr. Roland Emmerich, and Mr. James Cameron. ”

There was excitement in her voice that made everyone present laugh.

"Hello, Leila. I've been listening to Jenny praise her genius daughter for some time now, and today I'm finally willing to bring it out for us to meet. ”

Janet smiled and hugged her daughter tighter: "My daughter is so good, of course she has to hide it deeply." What if you get kidnapped by those stinky boys!"

The two great directors laughed when they heard it, and Leila could only shake her head with tears and laughter.

"It's an honor to meet both of you, and I love your movies so much. ”

She's not touting. In her previous life, she wanted to make a movie when she started watching the Titanic, and she still remembers the shock when she saw it in the cinema for the first time. At that time, she suddenly realized that the movie could still be made like this, and it could be so real and grandiose to tell the story.

Whether it is Cameron's "Terminator", "Titanic", "Avatar", or Roland's "Independence Day", "Godzilla", as well as "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012", they are all films that she likes very much.

They have one thing in common, special effects!

Leila also loves special effects, or is fascinated by them. But if you want to do a good job of special effects, there is no other shortcut except to pile it up with money. In the previous life, it took ten years to even make an ordinary movie to get funds, and special effects blockbusters or something are simply floating clouds.

"I've seen your witch too, and it's great. "Roland is a kind gentleman, and when he laughs, he feels very kind.

This made Lyra's nervousness at the beginning a lot less, and she thought that she would be too nervous to speak in front of her idol.
