Chapter 36: The Upper East Side
Gabi is very professional, something that Leila has learned from a few hours of discussion. That kid is more stubborn than her in some way, and I don't know if it's a good thing.
A few days later, Gabby delivered the doll with a white face and red lips and red circles of mosquito coils on its high cheekbones.
Leila is very satisfied with his handiwork, and even thinks it is more weird than the doll she saw in the movies in her previous life, and she will feel a chill in her back when she looks at it.
At the same time, there are also a few small crafts, although the things are small, it does not mean that there is less technology contained in them. It's all about the future that needs to serve the film.
Leila picked one up and gestured at it, "It looks great, Gabby you've done something amazing." ”
Gabby shook his half-long hair proudly: "I said, I'm the best, even the old man is no longer my opponent." I'm going to go to the Oscar podium in the future!"
"Of course, I have no doubt about that. Leila smiled and nodded. She knows very well that she should never underestimate a child's arrogance, what if it succeeds?
And if they work together very happily this time, he may be there in the movies where she will hit the Oscars in the future, and maybe this kid will really get the little golden man he hopes for.
In fact, as long as you are in the film industry, who doesn't want to win the award that represents the highest honor? Even if the Oscars are sprayed every year, they are all old guys who hold the awards. But there are still countless people who deliberately create movies that cater to their appetites in order to win awards.
Leila is no exception, she is not aiming for the Oscar now not because she doesn't want the award, but she knows very well that even if she does make a movie that can win the award in the future, she is destined not to win that award. The reason is simple, she is too young!
The average age of the Oscar judges is very large, and under the same choice, they prefer to choose those who are old and have shown strength, rather than her, a little girl who has just come of age.
Maybe in the eyes of those people, she can win awards at such a young age, and she will definitely win more in the future, it is better to award awards to older directors who have contributed more, who knows if they will have a chance to come to the Oscars next time?
Of course, these are all things that Leila has in her head. One of the biggest reasons why she didn't set her sights on the award was actually money.
Making an award that can be favored by the Oscars is not just about making a movie, but also requires publicity and public relations in all aspects. Every year, there are at least thousands of films around the world that participate in the Oscar selection, and no matter how good the judges are, it is impossible to watch every one, even if they are nominated.
So how can they choose themselves? It's a matter of publicity and public relations. How to go to public relations? One word - money! How to publicize? Or that word - money.
So the first thing Leila has to do now is to make money, earn back the most box office with the least amount of money, and slowly accumulate contacts and various resources. And when everything is ready, she will go for that award.
Gabi's words may seem to others to be just a child's ambition, but in Lyra's heart, it is a wish that is very likely to come true.
After entrusting Gabby with her work, Leila drops her half-written script and flies to London. Christmas was approaching, and her grandfather repeatedly urged her to pass, and the script was not written very well, so she simply left Beverly Hills early.
Cooper pointed his nose and said that his work has no connotation, but in fact, Leila is not as light as she appears, but she doesn't express the unhappiness in her heart.
So this time, she wanted to deepen the human part of SAW on the basis of the original, not just a killing game.
But how much to add is an important question. Too much, and the movie becomes an educational film, losing the true meaning of a horror movie. If it is less, it will make the audience feel nothing, and maybe it will interrupt the real context of the movie's plot.
This is the second film, and it is also a confirmation that she wants to declare to those who doubt her that she is not a "piece director". So this new movie must not lose!
My grandfather's home in New York is on the Upper East Side, where New York's wealthy gather. According to Auswid, a residence is also a kind of business card. Like the clothes on the body, the makeup on the face, and the behavior, they are all part of a person.
If you meet a scruffy-looking person who lives in a cramped old house when you are talking about business, will you still be willing to invest your money in him?
That's why when the old man went to Hollywood for his daughter Janet to develop, he bought a mansion for her as soon as possible as a support for her.
Osvid was delighted by Leila's arrival, and Janet was a perennial absentee, running around the world all day long, rarely spending time around. For the elderly, what they want most is to see their children all happy, and no matter how rich they are, they can't dispel their loneliness.
"Leila, you have done a good job, worthy of being the heir of our Moran family. ”
Osvid's smile hasn't stopped since Leila arrived. He never regretted that he didn't have a son, because he had the best daughters and granddaughters. Compared to some of his friends' sons who were like losers, he felt that his descendants were God-given treasures.
"Thank you, grandpa. Leila smiled and hugged him, "Where's Grandma?"
"At home. Knowing that you are coming, I specially prepared a lot of dishes for you. Osveld patted her on the shoulder and led her into the house.
This house on Fifth Avenue has a beautiful courtyard with a small vegetable garden that has been cultivated by my grandmother, and every time Leila comes over, she tastes the vegetables that her grandmother has grown.
While waiting for Grandma to cook dinner, Osveld led Leila into the living room.
"I've seen your movie. ”
"That's not for you. Leila laughed.
Horror movies or something are too exciting for the elderly, and it's not a joke to really be scared.
Osveld snorted, "Don't take me for an old man, I'm stronger than some boys, if you don't believe me, you can ask Edmund." ”
Edmund is the personal doctor of the Moran family, and he is also the person who has helped Leila treat for a long time, and his medical skills are very famous, and he is also a family friend of the Moran family.
"Yes, yes, of course you are the most robust. Lyra replied kindly, "I just don't think you like to look at that genre." ”
"What? I can't just watch horror movies to pass the time, I have to watch some old old movies?"
Leila is very sorry for this grandfather, who is living more and more like a child, as if she is wrong for everything.
