Chapter 183: Filming in Progress (1)

But Layla is not so optimistic, she knows that the upcoming world crash has a lot of momentum, because it was the top 10 grossing film in North America in '98. If she remembers correctly, she should be ranked eighth after the original rush hour.

It has a bigger setting and special effects than the Grim Reaper, and those who love disaster movies will love it very much. This will definitely have a huge impact on the box office of the Grim Reaper, after all, it is the first week, and the Grim Reaper has entered the third week.

But it wasn't lucky, either, because it didn't find a suitable slot. Soon after its release, there is also a movie "Godzilla" that also ranks in the top 10 of the year, which will be released in full after it, which will steal a lot of its box office.

Of course, those have little to do with Lyra, and by that time the Grim Reaper will definitely have already shrunk its releases, and will only harvest some of the remaining box office, and will not form a confrontation with them.

"No hurry, no hurry. Leila hung up the phone, tapping her fingers lightly on her desk.

She closed her eyes, suppressing the excitement of wanting to fight.

Yes, she wants her movies to collide directly with those blockbusters rather than avoiding them. I want to see those luxuriously produced films shattered by her work, want to be crushed, want to ravage, want to stand on a high place and look down on the many losers at my feet.

Unfortunately, it's still too early, her wings are not yet full, and she still needs more experience and money. To make blockbuster films, to have a place in the summer season where she can get more box office, she must have enough money. Look at the investment amount of those blockbusters, it is often an investment of one or two hundred million.

She made some money, but if she invested all that money, it would only hinder the normal development of the company. Her ambition is not only to make films, but also to have various other ideas, such as the construction of the brokerage department and the implementation of cutting-edge cooperation plans, all of which require large capital investment.

So she could only lick her slightly dry lips and tell herself over and over again: "Don't worry, wait a little longer......"

In three days, Layla finally finished the script for "Kill Bill". The next storyboard script still needs to wait, at least until she helps Victoria's Secret models shoot promotional photos before she can have time to draw.

In this promotional photo, Leila asked Victoria's Secret to take out some of the new models that were not on the market, and also needed some classic models. It's not that every one has to be photographed, but she has to choose the underwear that best sets off their good figure according to the model's own temperament.

In her design, the promotional photo is divided into two parts. Some of them are in the studio, and the models are shown off against solid backgrounds. Part of it is in a high-end hotel, with gorgeous bedrooms and beds that bring out the charm of underwear.

In fact, Leila also has a bold idea to take the models to her horror theme park. The models in lingerie create an extremely strong contrast with the horrible, eerie and bloody scenes around them. Imagine the impactful visual effect of a glamorous model with a stunning body and sexy lingerie in a blood-soaked streak on a mottled floor or a wall with bloody handprints.

In her opinion, even she can't help but feel like it.

But she's not sure if anyone else will think like this, so she's just putting it on hold for the time being and waiting for the rest of the promotional photos to be taken before weighing whether to give it a try.

There is a special photography studio in the Victoria's Secret headquarters, and as soon as the agreed time comes, Leila will be led by Wharton Gars to the photography studio.

Wharton was a poor boy who was obviously unwilling to be forced by his father to become her chauffeur, assistant, and various other occupations that served her. But Laila is not polite at all, the cheapness of the delivery to the door is not taken advantage of, didn't she call Demi when she didn't see her?

At this point, the models were already waiting in the dressing room. Seeing her coming, they greeted her with a smile.

Lyra said good morning as she carefully observed the girls' appearances, and sure enough, as she requested, everyone had rosy and shiny cheeks and unblemished skin. It can be seen that the adjustment of the models is still very effective, at least she didn't even find a pimple from their beautiful faces.

She first asked Wharton to take out the underwear she had asked to bring and distribute it to the models as she wished. This has been set by her before, she has a full-body photo of the model in her hand, and there are also photos of underwear, so it is no problem to divide it for the time being. If it is allocated after here, it is estimated that there will be not much time left for the morning.

The next step was to put on makeup, and before the shoot, Leila had to discuss it with the makeup artists.

"What I want is very simple, it's nature. Don't wear heavy makeup, don't show off. I want them to have long, naturally curly hair, moisturized lips and watery eyes. Then ......"

She expressed her requests to the makeup artists one by one, and then the rest was up to them to play freely.

Under the lens, any slight flaw has the potential to be magnified. Although corrections can be made in post, no one wants to expose their ugly side to a photographer, especially a super photographer like Leila.

The models were dragged to apply one by one by the makeup artist, while Leila watched from the sidelines, occasionally mentioning a few words in passing. For example, the color of the lipstick may be another color that better complements the skin tone, or it may be more compatible with the selected underwear.

Don't look at Leila who said don't wear heavy makeup, but natural makeup also requires many steps to look natural, otherwise how do you think the nude dress came about?

And you need to pay more attention to taking promotional photos, I don't know which one will be put on many times on the outdoor eye-catching advertisement, not to mention the flaws, the pores can be seen clearly. It was 98 years, and PS or anything was not as advanced as it was in later generations.

The first to be painted was Heidi, the most famous supermodel of later generations, with a talent that others would not envy. Her long fluffy honey-colored hair curls over her back, and her slender thighs give her a perfectly proportioned body. At 176 cm, she is tall and not too thin, which is exactly the image that Leila likes.

She has never seen skinny models, and always feels that they are a kind of morbid beauty born under a deformed aesthetic, which is not suitable for promoting products at all. Looking at the models selected during Moran's fashion show, you can see that Janet was influenced by her and didn't like models who were too thin, and chose more plumper, healthier, and brighter smiles.

Standing in front of a white set cloth, Heidi wears a sexy lingerie that has not yet been released. The black and purple underwear has Victoria's Secret's usual sexy style, and a purple long gauze is loosely tied around the waist, adding a bit of looming beauty.
