Chapter 31: Tobin Bell

When is it still thinking about the box office, Layla is also amused by her own brain hole after coming to her senses.

And she really laughed, laughing happily when there was still a scream around her, when the plane was still shaking and jolting in the turbulence.

"You're such an optimistic kid. The people sitting not far away couldn't help but be amazed when they saw her smile.

Laila looked for prestige and saw a middle-aged man looking at her. The man was not kind-looking, and could even be said to be vicious, but when he smiled, he was strangely relieved, making him go from "a child will be scared to cry when he sees it" to "a child will only feel scared when he sees it".

"Thank you, Mr. Tobin Bell. Leila smiled back with a friendly smile, not intimidated by the menacing face.

"You know me?" said Tobin Bell, who was even more surprised.

"Of course, I've seen your films. You are one of my favorite actors. Leila laughed.

"I thought only criminals liked me, and you know I'm playing bad characters." ”

"It's also an ability to play bad guys well, isn't it?"

"Huh. Tobin was in a good mood: "Lovely young lady, you are really good at talking." But aren't you really afraid?" he could still laugh at in the frighteningly turbulent plane, was this young lady too bold, or too nervous?

Leila hooked the corners of her lips: "There is an old saying in the ancient country of the distant East: The king of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, who dares to keep people until the fifth watch." It probably means that the Grim Reaper wants to take your life, then you can't escape. ”

What a scary but philosophical statement. Tobin sighed.

At this time, the plane finally stopped jolting, and the captain's voice was heard on the radio, telling everyone that the turbulence had passed and that it would land safely after a while.

Whether it is for the people on the plane or Leila, there is a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe. And being able to meet Tobin Bell here made her feel that the trip was worth it.

Speaking of this name, not many people may remember it, but when it comes to the jigsaw in "Chainsaw", many people will know who he is.

Since 2004, each "SAW" has brought a whirlwind of horror to horror movie-loving audiences around the world, and each one has brightened the blind eye with excellent results.

Because of his image, Tobin mostly plays criminals and serial killers, and his most dazzling and eye-catching role is the jigsaw. At least in Leila's opinion, if Saw Terror hadn't asked him to play jigsaw, the film's charm would have dropped by at least two to three percent.

"Mr. Tobin, do you have any plans for your appearance lately?" Leila thought she knew what the second film was going to do.

Tobin smiled and shook his head: "There are probably no criminals who need to be moved to the big screen yet." ”

Leila was amused by him, "Then why don't you try to create a more memorable criminal with me?"

"And you?" said Tobin.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Leila Moran and I'm a director. ”

"Ahh

"Yes, if it weren't for the second witch Blair, it would be me. Leila smiled and made a joke.

Tobin was really shocked. As an actor, even if he is not a particularly famous actor, he will definitely pay attention to the entertainment industry and the film industry.

If you want to say that the most famous film of the year, it is not "Independence Day", which topped the global box office with more than 800 million US dollars, but "Blair the Witch", which was shot in an innovative pseudo-documentary method. It has won the global box office of 120 million at a cost of less than 100,000 US dollars, and this is just released abroad, as long as it is not suddenly banned, I believe that it is not difficult to break through 150 million, and even 200 million is not impossible.

What a terrible percentage of profit? Arguably the highest ROI movie ever.

And not only the movie has attracted attention, but the director of the film has gradually become familiar to the world. An 18-year-old girl, who was almost dying of illness, inherited a small theater after recovering, and wrote and directed her first film to make a miraculous movie.

This kind of plot that can only be found in movies really happens in Hollywood, which is even more exciting than movies.

Tobin looked at Leila in amazement, he had thought that the report must be exaggerated, but she could easily laugh when she saw that everyone else was panicked and confused when she encountered turbulence on the plane. This composure, and a different heart, as well as ...... Crazy means that she has the potential to become a famous director.

If you don't go crazy, you can't live, and if you want to make achievements in something, there will definitely be abnormal people.

"I didn't expect to meet some of the hottest directors in Hollywood today, and it's such an honor to be here. He sighed.

Leila smiled: "I'm so hot, I believe there are not a few people waiting to see me fight." ”

Tobin thought of an article she had seen in the newspaper two days earlier and knew what she was referring to.

"You mean that article about a piece of director?"

Leila shrugged, "yes." ”

The so-called director refers to a director who has only made one successful movie in his life and has no good work.

Far from it, take Daniel Mirek, the original director of The Witch. After the witch Blair, there were no eye-catching works, and the reputation was not high, and the quality was not good.

In addition, there are Richard Salafi's "Broken Bones", which pioneered the Soaring Car movie, and Leonard Custer, the director of "Honeymoon Killer", which had a great influence on later road killer films, and so on.

They are not short of talent, and they have all created remarkable achievements at the time, but what happened later?

Either it will be bleak or it will completely disappear from the audience's sight.

I also know that there is no one else who can write such an article but Cooper. Perhaps knowing that the energy behind Leila is not something he can fight, this time he did not directly attack him in person, but chose a more tactful way to present the previous examples in front of the reader, and let the reader judge for himself how Leila will perform in the future.

Only 18 years old, the first work is a joke-like DV movie, there is no method at all, and the box office is completely earned by hype......

Can such a director have any more outstanding works?

Cooper didn't make his own inferences, but he made it clear in his words, that isβ€”NO!

When Leila read this article, she also felt that Cooper had some skills. After all, the director of the witch did dim at the beginning, and no good works appeared.

He was right, the pseudo-documentary film was brought back to life again a few years later through "Ghost Shadow", and it was not without success after that, but not much.
