Chapter 67: A Beautiful Misunderstanding
If Leila had been seduced into blushing by a boy's movements, she would have lived for so many years.
She also stood up, reached out and pinched his chin, twisted it to the left and turned it to the right, her blue eyes stared at Roy's cheek like a blue sky, and she looked at him with a touch of unnaturalness before sitting back in her chair regretfully: "I thought your IQ had increased just now, but that was a beautiful misunderstanding." Okay, I take back what I just said, you are still the same you, and you haven't changed at all. ”
"You!" Roy was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He was about to roll up his sleeves and fight back, when he was hit in the face by something that Leila had thrown.
"What is this? New script?"
"yes, go check it out, this is your next movie. ”
Roy flipped through two pages, glanced up at Lyra, lowered his head and flipped two more pages, the expression on his face becoming more and more surprised. He found out that it was a good script, a good movie on par with the previous movie S, and he swore that if it were him, he would definitely rent such a movie and come back to watch it.
It's so much fun to escape death because of a prophetic dream, only to be taken away by an invisible god of death one by one!
"What the hell is your brain?" he looked at her with strange eyes, "Is it true that what the newspaper says? Are you really a witch?"
Leila waved at him like a fly: "You play the main character Alex, prepare well when you go back, and ask your teacher if you don't understand something." Okay, you're good to go. ”
Roy saw her bad attitude this time, but it was rare that he didn't get angry, but ambiguously propped his hands on the table and leaned his face close to her: "Look, I said you were obsessed with me." Otherwise, why would you give me the protagonist again?"
He didn't know before, but he still knew how hard Hollywood newcomers survived from the teacher who taught him acting skills when he was chatting.
But what about him? a gangster who wanders the streets and sometimes chases me with the police to play games, but at the moment he doesn't have to worry about what he will eat for his next meal, and some people throw on him the opportunity to appear that others can't ask for.
If it weren't for the woman who had been stubborn and refused to admit it, and bowed down at the foot of his trousers, could there be any other explanation?
Laila looked at him with a smug and deliberately sexy smile, and reached out to push his face away: "Okay, if you want me to be obsessed with you, at least a few years older." Now you're just a kid in my eyes. ”
She's absolutely telling the truth. In her previous life, she was already in her early thirties, and Roy, who was nineteen years old and less than twenty, was not a child in her eyes?
Roy couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw that she was not as old as himself and dared to say that he was a child, and he also stood up straight.
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare. Anything else?"
"Yes. Leila pointed to the office door, "Bring it to me when you get out." ”
Roy glared at her viciously, and after turning to leave, he slammed the door shut, as if he could vent the anger that had accumulated in his chest with such an action.
Seeing the door close, Leila shook her head amusedly.
In fact, it is not difficult for her to see the Grim Reaper coming, as long as she can shoot, she can perform a good effect by changing anyone. Unlike the difficulty of the characters in some movies, you have to have a specific actor to perform the role.
Therefore, she directly gave the protagonist to Roy this time, and he is about the same age, so it is perfect for him to play it. As for the other roles, she still decided to leave Louise to handle, the first two times she was very satisfied with her work, and through the two auditions, she learned that her work ability is worth trusting.
"Miss Leila, may I come in?" said a knock on the door, and the trembling voice of the secretary Demi came from outside.
"Come in. Leila put her hand on the table and looked intently at the blonde secretary who walked in.
It's okay if she doesn't look at it, but when she looks at Demi so closely, her legs suddenly go limp. Originally, she was very afraid of her, but now she saw the boss staring at her with such solemn eyes, stepping on high heels as if she was stepping on cotton, and she almost fell crooked in just a few steps.
"Miss Leila, there was really something going on just now, and I didn't mean not to greet you. Before Leila could speak, Demi was already in a hurry to explain herself.
"Miss Louise told me to go downstairs ......"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Leila: "I didn't mean to blame you. "If you let her know that she did this on purpose to see what she would be afraid of, would she run out crying?
She laughed twice in her heart very evilly, but her face put on a serious look: "Demi, I want to know if anything has happened to me in the company these days." ”
Demi quietly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "It's nothing, everyone takes turns to take a vacation." Now it's basically in place, and there is no problem with turning on the computer at any time. ”
Leila nodded, "That's good." Have you already sent out the script?"
"Yes, Miss Louise has already given the budget. It's just that the budget could be a little more. ”
The problem of budget Leila has long been mentally prepared, in her previous life, this movie also cost more than 20 million, and now she is building in the direction of classics with her own hands, and the budget can only be higher, and there is no possibility of low.
"What's the budget?"
Demi took out a copy from the folder she was holding and opened it: "The script and the director's salary together are expected to be 3.1 million." Among them, the script is 600,000, and your salary is 2.5 million, and there is a 5% share. The remuneration of actors in all aspects ......"
Lyra interrupted her chatter again with a little headache: "Just tell me the results." ”
"Yes, yes, the budget is 25 million. Demi hurriedly said the final number.
Lyra habitually held and tapped the tabletop, a habitual action she used to do when she thought.
The script and director are all handled by her, although it is her own company, the money that should be collected must also be collected. It's true that she is a rookie director and rookie screenwriter, but with a dark horse movie Blair the witch that is popular all over the world, she can't take these too much.
The budget of 25 million is actually less than she imagined, and the box office and other related income from the witch movie give the company plenty of cash, and tens of millions of dollars will not have any impact on the company's operation.
It's just that when she only has one movie released at the moment, it is impossible to spend a lot of money to shoot a movie at once, if the people in the company have no ideas.
God knows, the cost of all the previous movies of this company added up to more than 20 million. This budget, which used to sound astronomical, is a small cost in the eyes of big production companies, and in their eyes, it is a number that can give it a go.
