Chapter 839: Lindy Hemming
She has been handing over the affairs of the East to a professional manager, and with Mr. Qian Ning staring at her, she believes that there will be no problems. And the growing profits over there also told her how right her decision was, but in this way, she didn't know much about it.
If you want to ask her if she has an IMAX over there, she really doesn't know.
After sending Nolan away, Leila called her professional manager and asked about IMAX.
Professional-level managers are not unaware of this situation, and almost as soon as she asked, he had already given the answer: "There are only a few giant screens in the whole of the East in some places that resemble science and technology museums." IMHO, there are too few IMAX film sources now, and they are basically some popular science films. And the money needed to build a dedicated screening hall is too much for us to make it universal. ”
"I understand. I mean, what if you only build some in the first and second tiers? For example, only one or two in the cities below the second tier, and one in the cities below the third tier. ”
At this time, even if Dongfang has developed a lot of the entire film industry because of her relationship, the cost of X determines that it cannot be too cheap, and spending a hundred yuan to watch a movie is probably better for many people to buy something or eat a snack.
So she is not greedy, she just wants to expand this market first, and it is best to make fans think of their movie theaters first when they mention IMAX movies. In this way, even if there are competitors in the future, their reputation will be more competitive.
Leila will not forget that in her previous life, the domestic cinema chain had developed very much. At that time, she was very happy to see the development of the theater chain, but for her now, those will become her competitors in the future, and they are terrible competitors!
The manager thought for a moment and approved of her idea: "If it's just one, I think it should be able to be built." It's just, Miss Moran, do you really think that the movies of the future belong in IMAX?" He has a good hand for management, but he doesn't have much research on the development of films.
And Leila is very sure of this: "Trust me, it won't be a few years before IMAX will become mainstream." "At that time, if you don't get an IMAX or something, you'll be embarrassed to say that you're a special effects blockbuster!
The manager understood what she meant, and promised to start arranging as soon as the funds came.
After asking about her usual business situation and getting a good answer, Leila finally put down the phone satisfied.
Making movies is her ideal, and making money is her hobby. Every time she makes a film, her sense of accomplishment is incomparable. And every time she earns a sum of money, she can also feel the joy from the inside out.
It is said that when there is a certain amount of money, it will become a string of numbers, and there is no feeling. She felt that it probably varied from person to person, at least she was seeing the increasing numbers, and the happiness in her heart couldn't fool herself.
When fully immersed in the film, Layla's work efficiency is quite high. Under her leadership, the final script came out in less than a month and was distributed to the hands of various actors. This means that the crew needs to be set up as soon as possible, and the filming of the film will begin soon.
To make a movie, the role of the director is very important. Not only will you be busy during the shooting, but you will also be busy before the shooting. It's okay to be a person who doesn't ask anything and leaves everything to someone else to deal with, but then it's hard to get what you really want.
As long as it's about movies, Leila never "makes do". Her films have paid special attention to the picture since the early days, and the first two horror films aside, probably since "Kill Bill", fans have found that whenever her films are paused, the picture displayed is so beautiful that it can be cut out as a desktop background.
Rich and capricious, throwing away the budget of only $100,000 for the first film, Leila has never been short of money since the second movie. This allows her to create the effects she wants at any cost, props, costumes, etc., everything can be completely according to her heart.
With such a director who is not bad for money and has obsessive-compulsive disorder, how bad will the movie be?
Let's take "The Dark Knight", which is going to start filming now, just Batman's suit took a lot of effort from the crew.
"The suit is a very complex tailoring process, with more than 200 individual pieces of rubber, fiberglass, nylon chips and metal mesh. See the hood? We have a safety hood design, and the neck part is not connected together, so that Batman can turn his head and move his body more easily. ”
Listening to the designer's introduction, Layla looked at the Batman suit in front of her. In the movie, I think Batman is very cunning, and if he doesn't have enough muscles, he will make up for clothes. Now that the suit is being sent to him, the feeling is even more. Look at this piece of "pseudo-muscle", how much "muscle mass" you have to increase when you wear it.
Of course, this is just a complaint in her heart. If you really want to say it, it is estimated that it can be exchanged for the eyes of a large number of fans. It can't be denied that Batman in a suit is really cool and adorable. Anyway, he is also one of the few superheroes who does not have superpowers, and for this reason alone, no matter how muscular he wears, Laila will continue to support him as always.
Today is the day to determine the costumes of several important characters, and not only Batman's suit has been brought, but the Joker's costume has also been delivered.
In order to design the character's clothes, designer Lindy Hemming also threw himself into the comic pile like Roy, and devoted himself to studying the character's personality traits.
She is a very professional costume designer, and has designed costumes for many excellent movies, including several works of 007, as well as "Tomb Raider" and so on, and even the previous "Batman: Mystery of the Shadow" was also designed by her.
When she heard that Leila was going to accept a new one, she thought she would be replaced. Because she knew that as soon as Leila came, Janet would probably come too, and no matter how confident she was, she couldn't compare with Janet, who won three Oscars for Best Costume Design.
What she didn't expect was that the director Leila found her in person and said that she liked her very much about the characters and the costumes she designed. This makes Lindy very happy, and it is very important for her to be recognized by a director like Leila. Therefore, she is determined not to disappoint the director this time, and must come up with the design she wants!
"The character of the clown is very distinctive, and my understanding is that he is very evil and a little neurotic. So I don't think his clothes will be serious, there should be a sloppy, decadent and sharp feeling. ”
