Chapter 613: Why Are You Looking for Me
Leila knows that she has always considered herself a fashion designer and does not have a strong sense of belonging to the film. The last time she won the Oscar, it was a result she didn't expect.
But then she realized that it wasn't the right thing for a costume designer to do, and Janet was so talented that she designed a costume that would fit the movie perfectly, without giving the audience the feeling of "he/she is wearing this dress on this occasion?
Leila became addicted to her after that collaboration, and Chicago brought her in to help her. As a result, the costume she designed made the plot unfold more brilliantly, and the vulgar look of the original version went up several floors, so that the audience who came to watch the movie also had a better enjoyment.
"Mom, don't be humble anymore. By the way, have you seen The Lord of the Rings?"
"Of course! I love that book and have read it many times. β
"That would be great. Leila smiled and narrowed her eyes, "I'm going to make it into a movie, would you be interested in coming to work for me again?"
Janet was silent for a moment.
Just when Layla thinks there's something wrong with the phone, she hears a scream that almost breaks through the sky.
"Leila, my dear! Do you mean really? You're going to make 'The Lord of the Rings'?"
"Yes Mom, you heard it right. Caught off guard by the screams, Leila smiled wryly and rubbed her ears as she said, "I'm going to shoot it, probably three." Are you interested in taking on a job as a fashion designer?"
"Oh my God! I can actually design costumes for the characters in the book!" Janet's voice trembled with excitement: "I'm interested! I'm so interested! Do you know how much I like that book? I take it out and read it almost every year, and every time I read it, it gives me a new feeling." I was inspired by the book in my costume design!"
That's exactly what Leila wanted to hear: "That's great, I'll leave it to you and I think I'll make the best movie possible." β
"You're so right! We're the best buddies, we're going to take Hollywood by storm in the future!" said Janet, shaking her fists excitedly.
Qian Ning looked at his fiancΓ©e who was jumping and jumping on the sofa, and could only smile bitterly and carry her back to him. Seeing her excitement, he didn't doubt at all that she would use the sofa and coffee table and other furniture at home as a fence for obstacle races, just like running an obstacle course.
In order to prevent William Jr. from following suit, he must catch people before the "tragedy" happens.
"Lyra, congratulations. Grabbing the phone, Channing finally quieted Janet.
"Thank you. The corners of Leila's lips lifted, and sometimes she really thought the way he and his mother got along was funny and warm. I wonder if she can have such a relationship in the future that can be with her for a lifetime?
After connecting many congratulatory calls, she was about to turn off her phone and rest, when she suddenly received an unexpected phone call. The call came from Michael Bay, and after a few congratulatory words, he got to the point.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Leila knew he was referring to Transformers, and it seemed that Louise had already had people contact him.
"I think you can get the look I want. β
"I've read the script, and there's a good chance that 'Transformers' will be a hit if it's shot like that. Michael was a little complicated, and he couldn't figure out why she had given him such a good opportunity.
If he got the copyright, he would definitely give it to himself to shoot, instead of giving such a chance to become famous to others.
Of course, Leila has no objection to his judgment: "That's right, that's why our company did everything possible to get the copyright." Mr. Michael, I'm a director, but at the same time the owner of a film production company. I think you're suitable, so I want you to shoot it. It's okay with anything else. β
She understood his scruples. Probably the same as Louise thought, thinking that the two had a fight in the ring and fought in all directions. The enemy who was supposed to be disgusted with each other gave such a good opportunity to herself in vain, and if she was to change it, she should also think about whether there is any trap in it.
"Mr. Michael, I'm not going to joke with a hundred million dollars or two. She chuckled, but in a solemn tone: "I need the most intense, the most refreshing, the most powerful cinematic effect." The war scene you filmed in "Pearl Harbor" was very appealing to me, and I made this decision after watching it. Of course, the final choice is yours. If you don't want to accept it, I'll look for another director."
Michael Bay's expression was tangled at this time. He wanted the opportunity, but he had other concerns. With the influence of "Transformers" itself, the explosion of the box office can already be predicted. If he gives up, he will definitely regret it in the future!
"I want to ask a question. β
"Please. β
"Why don't you shoot it yourself? I believe that with your ability, you will have no problem if you want to shoot it. β
Leila smiled, "Yes, I can shoot it." But I'm not sure if I can make it feel like I want it to be. And I already have a new movie to make, and in my heart it's a bigger work than Transformers. β
Michael Bay is a little unconvinced, he can't even look at "Transformers", what could be more attractive than it?
"Can you know the name?"
Layla smiled slightly: "Of course, it's The Lord of the Rings." β
"......" Michael Bay rolled his eyes, it turned out to be so. If it was that work, he wouldn't have much to say.
"I've taken 'Transformers'!"
"Then let the people below talk about the specific things. β
"No problem. Michael responded cheerfully.
Hanging up the phone, Layla turned her gaze to the Lord of the Rings script that was still being revised. This is the fourth time she has made revisions, and every time she rereads the book, she has new feelings. In order to keep improving, and in order not to spoil such a great work, she felt that even if she used more energy to study, it would not be too much.
"The Deviless" was given to Paddy Jenkins, "Transformers" was given to Michael Bay, and the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean" was given to Rob Marshall, who served as his deputy in "Chicago...... Everything has been properly arranged for the best, and Leila intends to start production of The Lord of the Rings after the Oscars are over.
This work not only has a lot to think about in terms of connotation, but also brings the audience a high level of enjoyment visually. This means that the actors' performances alone are not enough, and there must be a lot of cooperation in special effects. Fortunately, she is already very proficient in special effects, and when she looks at the script, she looks forward to what kind of work she can make.
