Leila knew that her grandfather was ordering herself, and what he said was expected to flood her like a tidal wave after she took over the position of director.

Just look at the ** criticism and contempt when she filmed the Grim Reaper, although there are many people who like her, there are also many people who look down on her. There is a saying that "if you can't eat grapes, you say that grapes are sour", which shows that jealousy is terrible. Those who were jealous of her accomplishments would have been tempted to see her stuck in the mud and not be able to climb up, and they would not have to guess what kind of comments would be made to belittle her actions this time.

But what is that?

Does a person who wants to climb to the top care how many potholes there are on the steps of the mountain road? As long as she succeeds, all the criticism and denigration will become a joke, and she only needs to be the one who has the last laugh.

So she still said: "I won't fail!"

"It was better to do so!" the old man snorted, but the corners of his mouth quietly raised as he lowered his head to eat dinner. What can the children of the Moran family do if they don't even have this bit of confidence?

The old man doesn't understand movies, but he understands business.

In fact, there are many things that directors and businessmen have in common in running films, that is, they cannot 100% guarantee that their efforts will be well reaped. No matter how well the movie is made, the audience may not buy it, and no matter how beautiful the product is, it may be unsalable.

But if you don't make that choice because you are afraid of failure, then you are not avoiding failure, but losing the possibility of success!

Whether it is a director or a businessman, if he doesn't even have the courage and self-confidence to attack, there is only one way to destroy what awaits him.

The next day, Louise signed a contract on behalf of Leila and the people on Chen Long's side. The remuneration was set at $5 million, but the money was not given directly to Leila, but was added to the film as an investment in the film, along with another five million.

It's an outcome that studios and producers alike want to see, and in Hollywood, in order to minimize risk, a film that costs tens of millions of dollars is usually shared by several or even dozens of investors. Maybe the benefits you get when you settle your earnings will be reduced, but it's better to make less than to lose a lot, isn't it?

And after the contract was signed, the cooperating investor immediately released the news that Leila would take over the position of director.

You must know that Leila is now synonymous with entertainment headlines in Hollywood and the United States, as long as she appears on the entertainment version, she is basically in the headlines. And as long as it is news related to her, it is also what the media cares about the most, because readers like it.

Whether a movie is good or not is not the most important thing, the important thing is whether anyone knows and whether anyone pays attention to the movie. Why does Leila have to use special methods to get audiences and fans to pay attention to her film before every movie screening?

Chen Long and the new line film will naturally not let go of such an opportunity for hype. Originally, the gambling craze between Leila and Cooper had not completely dissipated, and they just used this remaining "east wind" to follow the attention.

Naturally, Leila wouldn't mind this, while the other party used her to increase her reputation, why didn't she also use the other party to brush up her reputation?

The fourth work of a genius director! A kung fu movie with an oriental as the main character! A big production with a cost of 35 million! Attract the attention of others in every way. Well, 35 million may not be called a big production, but as long as you think about the cost of the few films that Leila has filmed, you should understand that for her, this is already a very "big" big production!

So just like the old man said, the day after she took over the film, the overwhelming comments from the media also popped up. And except for the media supported by the Moran family, who applauded and supported her in unison, no one expressed optimism about her decision.

"The Witch's Waterloo?"

"Kung Fu, we only know Bruce Lee, who is Ja?"

"It's not a movie, it's just a $35 million toy for the little director. ”

Among the various media outlets, the analysis of the New York Post is the most eye-catching.

They took the best of the crowd and listed several reasons why they were not optimistic about Leila's filming.

First, the film has a budget of 35 million cost.

Leila was only nineteen years old. She spent millions of dollars to make a horror movie with no technical content, even if she spent so much money, did she know what to use it for?

It's like a beggar who has just picked up $100 million, and he takes $100 million and knows what to do with it, buy food, buy clothes, buy a house, how much money can he use, and end up with the rest of the money, and he doesn't know why.

Leila is also facing this situation, she has never made a "big production", even if tens of millions are sent to her, does she know how to use the money? Even if she does use it, can that money really be turned into good results to make the movie a success?

Second, a film with Orientals as the main character and a black man as the second protagonist.

Racial discrimination or anything is generally not spoken out in the United States. But in fact, it is real. The first black actor was Sidney Bertier, who won the award in 1963 with "Lilies of the Field".

Second place after that......

Unfortunately, there are no more!

More than 30 years later, Sidney is still the only black actor in Hollywood history.

What does this mean? It means that there will be no good results for a black person to be one of the leading actors! Not only that, but the other leading actor is also an Oriental!

That's right, Hollywood used to welcome Bruce Lee very much, and even more admired his kung fu. But there is only one Bruce Lee, Chen Long? Who is that?

A few years ago, there seemed to be such a person in a red fan area, but did he really use kung fu? It doesn't look powerful at all, okay! How can a fight without a mighty fight be considered kung fu? Let's learn from Bruce Lee, that's the way Americans will like to fight!

Third, the genre of the movie.

Horror and kung fu films are not the same genre at all. It's like asking a person who makes a fresh literary film to shoot a and pee fart funny, can he make people laugh?

And as we all know, Laila was a little girl who had been sick for more than ten years not long ago, not to mention her personal contact with kung fu, I'm afraid she hasn't even seen a few kung fu movies, right?

Do you really think that after making two low-budget horror films, coaxing fans to buy movie tickets, and with a good box office, you can make other types of movies?

She's only nineteen!
