Chapter 117: Who Can Stop the Witch's Magic
Perhaps for Leila, the two future directors and screenwriters were just a chance encounter on her journey, but for those two, it was undoubtedly a godsend. And their appearance also gave Leila an inspiration, an inspiration that could make the Immortal Bird Company grow in a shorter period of time!
Even if she has the memory of being reborn, no matter how desperate she is alone, it is impossible to mass-produce a movie. But the company can only rely on her now, and it can be said that apart from her, the company has no other way to increase its input. It's too early to expect Roy's contracted actors to bring profits to the company, at least they have to use movies to help them become popular first.
As a result, Leila felt that she was perfectly free to assign work to others. A screenwriter-director partner like Allen and Rob, she only needs to invest a part of the money. Anyway, she has memories of later generations, and knows which one will lose and which one will make her a lot of money.
At the same time, she still has countless excellent scripts in her mind, such as "The Grudge" and "Midnight Bell", which were bought by Louise but have not been able to find time to shoot into movies, if she can find a suitable director, she can find a producer or simply be a producer herself, so that the film can be released as soon as possible under her own control. It is produced and distributed by the company, so that the company can develop faster.
You must know that she not only knows which movie can make money, but also knows which director and which screenwriter, and which actor can show her strength in the future!
Isn't it the benefit of her rebirth to use forward-looking to guide the company to grow!
As I was thinking, a billboard with a movie poster on the side of the road flashed out of the car window. Leila saw that it was the poster of "Midnight Garden of Good and Evil", which was released this week, and it was also the biggest opponent that S would face this week.
said that she didn't care about the box office, but in fact, how could she really not care? The reason why she didn't worry about this one was that she knew that it wouldn't be an obstacle.
That's right, Midnight Garden of Good and Evil is adapted from a 5-year-old bestseller, with first-class actors and crew, no matter where you look at it, it can't be compared to a mere low-budget horror film.
But is that really the case? Hollywood doesn't have too many things to do with huge investments and lose money. The cast is great does not mean that the movie is really that powerful, and even if the movie is great, it does not mean that the audience will buy it.
Speaking of movies, it is actually a gamble, which can be exchanged for more than 300 million box office like "Blair the Witch", or it can be exchanged for the bankruptcy of the company with the failure of hundreds of millions of costs. It is precisely because of the possibility of danger and huge profits that there will be a situation where a genre becomes popular and immediately follows the trend.
"Give me a copy of today's Entertainer and the New York Post. While passing through a small town, Leila stopped her car and bought two copies of today's newspaper.
I don't know if it's because her appearance changed the historical trajectory of the entertainment newspaper, which is now much more influential than she knew in her previous life. And it is really incredible that the New York Post, while praising Cooper, has also brought about an increase in sales.
Leila bought some food and returned to the station wagon, first opened the entertainment newspaper and took a cursory look at the other contents, and then slowly opened the entertainment version to check the parts she was interested in.
Who else can stop a witch from casting her magic?"
The headline of today's entertainment version is still very eye-catching, and it still has something to do with her. It seems that those guys from the Entertainment Family Newspaper won't stop if they don't squeeze the little news value out of her.
"When we focused our attention from S to the Garden of Good and Evil at Midnight, many people thought that the box office of S would be sniped strongly. ”
"This adaptation of the best-selling film of the same name has already received a lot of attention before it was even released. Director Clint Eastwood won four Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director for "Unforgiven" in '92, and also received five nominations. ”
"Among the actors, Kevin Spacey is also an out-and-out Oscar-winning figure, and "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Usual Suspects" make all fans remember this great actor. And ......"
The article brings out all the noteworthy things in the film bit by bit, and there is only one meaning, and it is really very unlucky to meet such a terrible opponent with Lyra in the case of a bet.
Leila looked at the review with a smile, and she could already guess what was going on without having to read it. If this movie really becomes a threat to S, as an entertainer under the Moran Group, the newspaper will only help S speak, trying to weaken the presence of the Midnight Garden of Good and Evil.
But here it is the midnight garden of good and evil touted, which obviously shows that the situation of the war has stabilized and is still moving in her favor.
Sure enough, after touting the Midnight Garden of Good and Evil, the tone of the article suddenly changed.
"It's a pity that the 155-minute film gives us the impression that a meal is tasteless and tastes like chewing wax. ”
"The director's technique is too old-fashioned, the whole movie is dull and loose, and it looks like it's telling a story, but after watching it for a long time, I don't know what it's talking about or what it's revealing. Think about "Unforgiven", which shocked us a few years ago, and then look at this "Midnight Garden of Good and Evil", are the two really the works of the same director?"
"Although the film shows the beautiful southern style and also uses some real people in the event to play the role, what can the dinner again, the party after party, and the small talk do in addition to making the audience sleepy?"
"Admittedly, the actors in the film are impeccable, and each one plays their role well, but unfortunately the overly dull pace makes their performance an outdated stage play. ”
"It's a regrettable adaptation and a disappointing film. If you want to say that you will be happy, maybe it is the directors and fans of S? At least they don't have to worry that S's box office will be blocked because of this movie. ”
"Is Eastwood old, or has Hollywood become a world of young people? I really want to know, who can stop the witch's magic, who can stop S's footsteps in front of the 100 million box office?"
The article is very sensational and heartwarming. I believe that whether it is a fan of S or a fan of midnight, they will only feel a mood of agreement when they see it, and they will not feel that the newspaper is deliberately belittling.
Leila didn't see the Midnight Garden of Good and Evil as an antagonist, just because the film was also marked with a dull rhythm in her previous life. The people who go to the cinema are usually young people, and these people have the least patience to expect them to spend two and a half hours in the cinema watching a dull movie?
Hehe. It's better to wash and sleep.
