Chapter 1270: Christmas Eve
『Chapter error, click here to report』
This year's Christmas Eve was much colder than usual, the sky was overcast, and it was said that it snowed heavily in many places for the past two days. But no one cares about it here. This is Hollywood, and the rest of the country is buried in snow, and they will only hover here at minus 7 or 8 degrees.
This kind of weather is actually quite good, at least the stars who brave the cold and wear provincial fabric dresses will be more relaxed. In order to look good, even if the weather is cold, they have to dress up and appear in front of the public. Wear warm but bloated clothing, and you are guaranteed to be exposed by the media the next day.
Perhaps for ordinary people, the most they can do is to sigh that "celebrities are also afraid of the cold", but for celebrities, once they are out of touch with fashion, they are equivalent to being kicked out of the fashion industry. If you want to find some more fashion-type brands, it is basically useless. Stars who have been abandoned by the fashion industry will no longer get good resources, whether it is endorsement or commercial performance, so maintaining their own high quality is what they are most concerned about.
Fortunately, they generally don't need to walk on the road with bare thighs, and they sit in a warm car when they go home, so they don't have much to worry about the temperature changes outside.
In Hollywood, there is no shortage of stars. Especially in the vicinity of Beverly Hills, you will see all kinds of celebrities coming and going whenever you walk around.
That's why people want to come to Hollywood, and who wouldn't want to get up close and personal with the stars who are usually on the top?
Celebrities can be said to love and hate such a situation. They are human beings, and there will be times when people are happy and unhappy, and there will also be times when they want to be alone and not disturbed, or when they play with friends, such a moment suddenly rushes out a bunch of people to take photos and sign autographs, and no one will be in a better mood.
But it's better to be chased for an autograph than to be asked for by no one. Once you walk on the road, no one will recognize you, and you can only say that you have been completely forgotten and become an outdated star.
Leila is usually very homely, and occasionally goes out with her family to buy things, usually in a quieter place, and rarely has the opportunity to be blocked on the street by crazy fans.
In fact, the fans who do Laila are quite pitiful. She is a director, and she likes to be quiet, so there are not many opportunities to be met by fans outside. It's just that she is very popular with young people, and everyone wants to get some souvenirs from her, not to mention group photos, not many people can get a signature.
To be exact, no one seems to have been able to get a single sign of her. Leila is very sorry for this, not that she is lazy, but that her identity does not allow her to pass her signature around. Wouldn't it be a mess if it got into the hands of someone who could imitate handwriting, if she casually signed her name on some contract with her company?
She didn't care too much about the group photo. If she really touches her, she will also meet the fans' requests, but the autograph and the like are still forgotten.
Instead of returning to New York this Christmas, Lyra's family and Abel, who became an architect, traveled to Hollywood to spend the more lively holiday of the year at Leila and Roy's home.
The reason why I didn't go to my home in New York for the holidays as usual is because this year's Christmas schedule "Silence" is about to be released.
Although Leila acts like she is almost the same as before, anyone who knows her a little better will find that the closer to the release date, the more unusual she becomes.
"Leila, are you nervous?" Roy finally couldn't help but ask. God knows how hard he endured, and every day he saw her sleepwalking, and he didn't know what he was thinking. I've participated in so many premieres before, when have you ever seen her fidgeting like this?
"Nervous, how could I be nervous?" said Lyra, not admitting.
Roy picked little Eli out of her arms: "I don't know what to describe you better than nervousness." Have you ever looked in the mirror? Have you seen your expression in the mirror? Honey, what are you nervous about? The box office of the movie? You couldn't have been more nervous than this when you were competing for the number one box office in film history, right?"
"Am I nervous?" Leila hesitantly touched her cheek and put her hand on her chest, feeling her heart beat harder than usual, "Maybe I'm a little nervous." ”
"Why?" Roy walked over and hooked her into his arms. With his wife on one side and his son on the other, he now enjoys doing it more and more to appreciate how warm it is to have a family.
"This film has a lot of meaning for me, and I'm worried about whether it's going to be loved by the audience. Leila buried half of her cheek in his arms and wrapped her hands around his waist as she felt as if she could draw some warmth from him.
Roy didn't quite understand her thoughts. In his opinion, there is no need for her to worry about not being loved by the audience after the movie is released. Over the years, which of her movies has been complained about by the audience? No! Every time she brings a film that can be listed in the classic palace, she digs out a big piece of fat from the hands of many Hollywood bigwigs.
It's understandable to say that the release of "The Avengers" made her nervous before, after all, the environment at that time made her have to achieve a difficult victory. But now, "Silence" is a film she likes to make, why is she so nervous about its release?
He couldn't guess what happened, and there was no way Lyra could tell him the truth. Did she tell him that this was her first film in the true sense of the word, and that she was using it to prove that she was a real Hollywood director?
She is confident in her own ability, and in the previous film, she only used the reborn golden finger to know in advance which film would be loved by the audience, and the gap between the filmed film and the original version is actually quite large. So it's not an exaggeration to say it's her work.
But those still account for a reborn benefit. The problem is that rebirth can bring her less and less help, and under the flutter of her little butterfly, many films that took years to appear in previous lives are appearing one after another, and a group of new people are also coming to this world with their new works.
If she still wants to run the company more healthily, blindly believing in the vision of rebirth is definitely not enough. So this new film is not only the first original film, but also an adventure to confirm my vision.
If she read the script wrong, and the film she made was not recognized by the audience, it would definitely be a very big blow to her, indicating that she was not as powerful as she thought, and she was not suitable to continue in Hollywood. For the sake of the company's growth, she had to think of other ways to keep the company running properly.
