Chapter 697: Journalists

Her eyes were fixed on the big screen, but she was thinking about something else. She remembers very well that the original version of the movie in her previous life achieved a box office of more than $700 million at a cost of 150 million.

This is undoubtedly a very beautiful achievement, and if it were compared with other movies, he might really win. It's a pity that Michael's luck is really bad, and the bet with him is "The Lord of the Rings", you must know that the first part of the Lord of the Rings won more than 800 million box office.

Leila also knew this result, so she would leave such a bet that seemed to outsiders to have little chance of winning.

When the box office of "Transformers" comes out, I believe Michael Bay will have a good mood for a whole year. But it's only a whole year, because after "The Lord of the Rings" comes out, he will know that there is a kind of person in this world who is the darling of God. Mortals should honestly hide and tremble.

The movie is about the same as the original version, although the shooting time is a little earlier, it is still acceptable in terms of special effects processing, after all, Leila's special effects company is already the most promising one in the industry.

Today's special effects companies not only work within the company, but also accept some film collaborations sent from outside. At a time when other companies are cutting back on the work and positions of special effects artists, this has become an oasis that has been much more nourishing than other companies.

So a lot of special effects artists want to come in here, at least without worrying about being laid off when they're done. Not only them, but some animators are in a similar situation.

Leila can see the future of special effects, and naturally she will not give up animation, don't look at her herself making movies outside, in fact, she has already arranged someone to help her deal with the company's affairs. It is precisely because she herself is not there and does not reveal a little rumor that the acquisition can be carried out in the dark, and those who want to dig can also dig smoothly.

I believe that in the near future, she will have her own animation production company. By then, she had a lot of great ideas to put to use.

After the premiere, Leila was caught by the reporters who were blocking the door.

I hadn't seen her for a year, so how could hungry reporters let her go so easily?

"Director Moran, this time you came back to attend the premiere of "Transformers", are you very optimistic about this movie?"

A reporter who squeezed to the front asked his question.

Leila also knew that if she didn't satisfy these people today, it would be impossible for her to leave smoothly. She also happened to have some small projects that needed "help", so she was naturally very cooperative in answering questions.

"Yes. I'm very optimistic about this film, and Michael Bay is a very good director, and he did exactly what I wanted to see. I am very honored to have chosen him to direct in the first place. ”

"Director Moran, since you are so optimistic about this movie, why didn't you choose to shoot it yourself in the first place?"

Leila glanced at the reporter who was asking the question and smiled when she saw the logo on his body. It was a media outlet with which Michael Bay had a good relationship, and the media had been standing on the other side's side to speak for him when the two of them had faced off against each other in the past. It seems that Mr. Bang Pei still has some entanglements with her giving up the directing rights.

"The question is simple. I'm a director, but that doesn't mean I can shoot any type of film. Every director has his own mature shooting techniques, some are good at love, and some are good at action. Let me tell you, I may have made a few genres of film that were pretty good, but for what I lacked, it was clear that Mr. Michael could have done better. In order to achieve the best effect for the film, I think it is very important to choose the most suitable director. ”

"So, Director Moran, you were very optimistic about the movie before it was filmed?"

"Of course, the money we invest is not blowing in the wind. Every penny needs to be voted in the right place. There's no way I'm going to take a hundred million dollars or two hundred million and throw it around, can I?"

Leila spoke very carefully, mainly to tell Michael Bay that she really liked his directing ability to sign him, and not for any other purpose.

I don't know if it was the last incident that made the big director have any shadows, for her to hand over such a script to him, this gentleman seems to have the worry that "there are always Diao people who want to harm me".

In fact, she sometimes really thinks that Bang Bei thinks too much, and no matter how rich a person is, he won't take one or two hundred million dollars just to defeat a whole subordinate, right?

"Director Moran, can you predict the box office of this movie?"

Leila thought for a moment, "I just watched the movie and felt the atmosphere in the theater. I think the audience loves it and believes that it will be okay to break through 600 million. If you like it, it's not impossible to reach 700 million. ”

600 million, 700 million?

One by one, the reporters were all excited. I know that as long as this eldest lady appears, there will definitely be good news to explode.

It's not 60 or 70 million, but 100 million! It's still dollars! Is this kind of box office really easy to achieve? Listening to what she said, she just looked at the atmosphere of the theater, and if she can successfully predict the box office of the movie, what do you need professionals to do?

Michael Bay, who was being interviewed on the other side, looked over to Laila in surprise. He didn't expect her to watch his movie so highly. After filming, he also felt that the movie he made this time could get a high box office. But this high, at most, is 400 million to 500 million, which is already a result that he is very satisfied with.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, it was six or seven billion, or in front of so many reporters and media, she was not afraid of guessing wrong and being laughed at by these people? Or is she really so confident that this movie will become such an excellent commercial film?

Or is it ...... Once the box office does not reach such a high level, even if he gets a very good four or five hundred million, he will still be ridiculed by the mass media?

Michael's face was gloomy, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had guessed the truth of the matter. Otherwise, why is she willing to invest so much and send such a popular film to herself? It should have been calculated a long time ago, how can she let herself be watched as a joke by others when the film is successful!

When you suspect that someone is wrong, the more suspicious you are, and you are using your brains to do everything.
