"Leila, if you don't want to take over here, I can help you deal with it. After Claire sent the lawyer away, she returned to see Leila sitting behind her desk with her papers.

She could be said to have watched her grow up, and knew what a regretful role that unscrupulous father occupied in little Leila's heart, so she didn't want her to be her new annoyance for a man who just provided DNF. In her heart, Leila should enjoy the beauty of this world, and there is no need to worry about such a crumbling company.

"No, no. I think I'll love it here. Leila smiled and shook her head.

Claire took her attitude as a nostalgia for her father, and couldn't help but sigh: "Honey, I've researched this place before, and although it's not enough to be in debt, the good people are almost poached, and if you want to do a new shoot, you have to recruit people again." Did you know that the company couldn't even find a director!"

And the soul of a movie is not only a good director, but also a good script. What high-level screenwriter is willing to throw the hard-written script to such a company that can't get on the stage?

Even if they spend a lot of money to buy a fairly good script, they still can't make it without a good director. The director and screenwriter, plus other expenses, can't afford it with the company's current savings.

Well, there is one more important point. Even if there is a director, a good script, and a film, no one can guarantee that the film will have a box office and market. Can't you see that the big studios also lose their pants sometimes? Who would say they don't have good directors and good looking scripts?

However, these problems are not a problem for Leila, because she is a director in her own right, and she is also an experienced director. Maybe she didn't have the opportunity to really prove her talent, but it was not difficult to remake those classic films of later generations. Which film will be so popular that it will be a mess, and which film will be so bad that everyone is angry, will she not know?

It's just that until then, this company does have some issues that need to be addressed.

"I'll read all this information first, and then I'll tell you what to do next. Lyra shook the folder in her hand and smiled at Claire.

"Okay. Alas. Sighing again, Claire, who had scolded Reynolds half to death in her heart, reluctantly went out.

The office was calm again, and Lyra looked at what was recorded in the document and felt like she wanted to scratch her head. Don't look at the company's five-storey building in a nice location, but it really doesn't generate much economic value in it.

The company did make a few movies a few years ago and made some money, but then it declined after Reynolds, the only one with some talent, fell in love with Las Vegas. The company's main source of income is to sell DVDs of previous films and make some B-movies that barely make ends meet.

That's right, it's a B-grade movie. This imposing-sounding immortal bird film company mainly relies on B-grade films to make profits.

The so-called B-movie refers to B-movie, not a film rating, but a low-budget film.

Crude sets, rough props, poor film texture, and completely unfamous actors...... That's what makes up a B-movie.

Of course, it is not completely without benefits that B-movies will appear. Think about it, if there is no profit, will anyone still make it?

Although the quality of B-grade films is very poor, they can't afford to be cheap! The budget for shooting a big production can even make dozens or hundreds of B-grade films.

And usually B-grade films will also choose popular genres to shoot, such as gangsters, cowboys, sci-fi, horror, supernatural and so on. They will shoot whatever genre the audience likes, and there will always be some people who will be interested in them.

The same goes for the undead birds, who have survived mainly by making supernatural and terrifying ketchup movies. It's just that after the unexpected sudden death of the only pillar Reynolds Rodney, the people in the company who have a little ability were either poached or left by themselves, and the remaining ones who have not left are estimated to be waiting for the severance pay from the company's bankruptcy.

"Ketchup movie. Leila smiled wryly. That's really not what she's good at.

There have been many good ketchup movies in the history of cinema, and the one that impressed her the most was probably the Ghost Player. The impressive part is not being frightened, but the plasma splattering all over the screen.

I don't know if it's a cultural difference, she never thought that American horror movies could scare her, but Hong Kong ghost movies and Thailand's head-lowering are still more terrifying.

One of the "tasks" left by little Leila is to watch several horror movies. In the past, she had a tumor in her head, and once her mood fluctuated greatly, the tumor might be provoked and burst directly, so she always needed to maintain a calm and peaceful mood.

It's not hard to complete the task, but it's hard to find a few films that scare her, and it seems that Americans prefer those murderous limb cuts and tomato sauce all over the screen. And she can't feel that kind of scary......

Leila crossed her fingers to calculate the situation in front of her: "There is not enough money, there is no good script, there is a serious shortage of manpower, the director can be the director myself, I have my own distribution system, and there are some cooperation resources." ”

After all the calculations, she felt that the future was still quite bright, at least much better than the situation she encountered in her previous life.

What satisfies her the most is that the immortal bird has its own distribution department, although it is small, but the sparrow is small and has all kinds of organs. Movies are not filmed and can be filmed in cinemas, and distribution accounts for a large proportion. If it weren't for such a distribution department, Leila might have really had the idea of selling the company and buying a full-fledged film company.

"Which one is going to shoot in the first part?"

Leila's fingers tapped unconsciously on the tabletop.

The first movie is very important to her and the company, and if she doesn't choose it well, the company may collapse. There are too many film companies in Hollywood that have gone bankrupt because of investing in a failed work, and even MGM in later generations has come to the brink of bankruptcy because of a "Wind Whisperer"?

First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the film is profitable. Of course, the more this income, the better, and it is best to become a dark horse and become famous.

Again, the film can only be a small budget. It's not that she is reluctant to spend money, but if she is asked to pay extra money from the beginning and can't rely on the company to pay for her own profits and losses, I am afraid it will not have much effect on boosting the company's prestige.

Well, in fact, she just wants to build her own movie kingdom by herself, which can be understood simply as her self-esteem.

She believes that as long as she speaks, her mother and grandfather will not have a problem with the funds for a big production. But she may have confidence in herself, but not too much confidence after all. She has only made one bad movie, but she still makes a few more movies to practice her skills, and then studies how to shoot big productions.
