Chapter 612: Thirteen nominations swept away
"Chance will only choose those who are prepared. Leila patted her on the shoulder: "No matter who you are, no matter what you do, if you don't even have the courage to take a step, why should you hope that the opportunity will fall on your head?"
From Louise, she knew that several of the directors on the New Talent Project were interested in "The Devil", but none of these people appeared in front of her. Maybe they're brewing feelings, maybe they're waiting, maybe they're for some other reason. Whatever it was, just because Jenkins was the first to stand up made Leila see her faith.
Of course, knowing that she was the director of "The Female Devil" in her previous life was also one of the reasons why she chose her.
Regardless, Leila admires her courage and all those who are willing to look for opportunities for their ideals. Her experience in her previous life made her know the value of opportunities, and now that she has opportunities, she hopes that she can create some opportunities for others who are in a similar situation to her. It can be regarded as repaying God for letting her be reborn.
Patty Jenkins' offer to be the director of "The Devil" quickly spread throughout the company, much to the regret of several other interested parties. And when they heard that she only got the opportunity to direct because she was the first to apply to Layla, they were immediately embarrassed.
Yes, a woman can be brave enough to fight for the opportunity, so why should they hesitate at first, wait and see, and see how others apply for the opportunity?
Others don't have a chance, but they watch it slip out of front of them. This incident has caused many people to have some changes in their minds, just like Leila said, if you don't even have the courage to take a step, what dream do you want to achieve?
After the director of "The Devil" was decided, Leila also began to form a crew as a producer for the first time.
She is already familiar with this kind of thing, and the ready-made people in the company can give her a lot of choices to choose from, and if she wants an actor, she will be contacted by someone if she calls it. This is exactly the benefit she has after acquiring AMG, and there is no shortage of talent.
And the film is not complicated, and there are not many people who need it. It sells stories rather than special effects, and to tell such a story, it is naturally impossible to let too many people appear and distract the focus of the protagonist. So as long as you choose a few important roles, the rest is almost anyone.
In the final analysis, "The Deviless" is not a difficult film, and it is not difficult to make. At least compared to the one that Leila is going to shoot next, it is not a heavyweight at all.
Let's just say that the book "The Lord of the Rings" was written by Tolkien in twelve years, and it took another four years of revision before it was officially written. It has been translated into more than 60 languages and has been praised by readers in various countries around the world and is known as the "Book of the Twentieth Century".
Written during World War II, the author's main intention was to call for world peace. It is said that he also lamented the lack of mythology in England, so he created two incredible works, one is "The Hobbit" and the other is "The Lord of the Rings".
When Leila approached Louise for the rights, she took both of them.
She didn't know how Louise did it, only that she rarely failed to complete the work she was assigned. This made her feel how stupid her father was back then, and he didn't make good use of his subordinates who had such a good subordinate, but instead asked her to be the boss, specializing in those jobs that she was not good at.
Just as Leila mobilized the entire company and prepared for two films at the same time, the Oscars came.
As soon as the Oscar nominations came out, the whole of Hollywood, and even the whole world of people who follow the film industry, were boiling. Because Leila, a girl who has not yet reached the age of 24, she used a "Chicago" to show the world what a miracle is and what a genius is.
With thirteen nominations, "Chicago" swept the Oscars with a surging momentum!
It has won nominations for heavyweight awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, Supporting Actress, etc.
This is a result that shocked countless people, but it was not surprising. Movies are so good, and those awards really deserve them, and people would think it would be strange if they weren't.
Is thirteen a lot? Some people even think it's too little, and think that each of them should be added with the names of "Chicago" and Leila.
As soon as the nomination came out, her mother Janet called to congratulate her. It can be seen that she was waiting for the results in front of the TV, and as soon as she saw the results, she immediately picked up the phone.
"You're amazing!Leila!Leila, my Leila!" Janet was so excited that she didn't know what she was talking about. "I'm so proud of you!"
Listening to her bewildered words, Layla smiled softly with her eyes. Being reborn in this family is the happiest thing for her, and the selfless love of her mother and grandfather for her can always fill her heart with tenderness and warmth. It was their love that allowed her to drive away the darkness in her heart that had accumulated in her previous life.
She couldn't imagine what would happen to her reborn self in a strange environment and face a mess of relatives. When she meets parents like Roy, she doesn't want to make any movies, and she needs to think about whether she can survive or not.
"Thank you, Mom. I didn't expect this either. "The past life is the past life, and the glory of the past life does not belong to her. What she is getting now is the miracle she has created, so she deserves to enjoy the congratulations of her family.
"Thirteen! My dear, I'm going crazy, how can you be so good! I can give birth to a child as smart as you. God, I must be the happiest mother in the world!" Janet jumped up and down holding the phone, so that Mr. Channing, who was watching William Jr. by the side, was still attentive to protect her, so that one of them would not accidentally fall.
Hearing Qian Ning helplessly reminding her mother to pay attention to her feet and be careful, the smile on Laila's lips never broke.
Mr. Channing is also hard enough, other people's families only need to raise one child, and he has to raise the child's mother as a child.
"Mom, isn't it because of you that I'm smart? Look at you once again being nominated for Best Costume Design. It would be nice to win the award again. ”
Janet didn't pay much attention to her nomination: "I'm a designer of clothes, and I'm lucky to win the award last time, but I don't believe that luck will always be on me." ”
