Chapter 488: Breaking 300 million

Rob certainly thinks she has talent, but it's not clear why she'll find her. Is it to show off, or do you really want to join in?

To say show off, it doesn't seem to match her rumored personality. But to say that she really wanted to join herself, he was a little unconvinced. If it were me, I wouldn't want someone who was too deeply involved with the script to enter the crew and point fingers at me.

In front of her, he can only be regarded as a newcomer in the film industry. She has made so many movies that have grossed more than 100 million dollars, but he has only had some achievements on Broadway and Hollywood. Is there really anything that can help her like this? It's not that he looks down on himself, but his weight in the film industry is so small.

After losing the script this time, he was discouraged and wanted to take over the job of directing a TV series, but if he could make a movie, who would want to take on a TV series? Both seem to be directors, and the difference is much greater.

"Mr. Marshall, I know you. I know that this script is created by you. And I don't know much about Broadway, but I have only watched it twice with my family. To make Chicago a good one, I needed the help of someone who knew more about Broadway. So in front of my eyes, you are the best choice. ”

Leila looked at him steadily, "Of course I could ask someone else who knows Broadway as well as you do, but do you really want me to do that? Do you really hope that this movie has nothing to do with you when it comes out?"

Speaking of this, she suddenly showed a sly smile: "Don't underestimate the position of assistant director. Mr. Marshall, I've seen the episodes you helped shoot and I can see that you have a great talent for layout and coordination, and you would definitely be a good person to be a film director. You know, I'm a person who doesn't like to make sequels, and if you and I can be satisfied with this collaboration, the director of Pirates of the Caribbean Part 2 I can give you a chance to fight for it. ”

"Pirates of the Caribbean"?Rob's eyes widened. Of course, he knows about the film that has been in theaters for a month, and even more so about the box office it has created and the potential to be more eye-catching. He dared to swear with everything he had that this film would be a miracle in Hollywood film history if it were made into a series! If he could be called its director......

Although she didn't say yes to him exactly, it was quite attractive to be willing to give him a chance to fight for it. I believe that when such news is released, there will be countless movies that are much bigger than themselves to grab the first chance for this opportunity!

"I hope you can do what you say, I need a fair and just chance!" he held out his hand solemnly.

Layla smiled and shook his hand, "Of course, I can put that into the contract. And I swear by the honor of the Moran family, as long as you meet the requirements I want, the position of director of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is yours!"

Rob nodded, his eyes no longer had the frustration just now, but were reborn with a flickering vitality: "Happy cooperation!"

He needed this opportunity, and he believed that he would definitely meet her requirements, and he had that confidence in himself!

Lyla, who got a satisfactory answer, had the contract sent to him the next day and officially signed him into the crew. In this way, everything that needs to be done by her is done, and the rest is Disney's job.

For actors, she didn't have too many requirements, and mainly gave the casting director a suggestion, that is...... Eye candy!

As a visual creature, she thinks it doesn't matter if she is not skilled in dance movements, as long as she exercises. It's okay if her acting skills are exaggerated, she is not afraid to teach the actors, and this is a musical and dance drama, even if the acting skills are poor, as long as the editing is good, it is nothing.

So the most important thing is looks. She doesn't want to be a country and a city, and she doesn't want people who dance very well, but people who look crooked and cracked dates enter her movie. There are so many people in Hollywood who can be selected, dancing well and looking good, why does she have to make her fans spicy? right?

But when Disney handed her a list of some of the cast members, she was surprised to see a familiar name in it.

"Roy, when are you going to audition? and past the first round? How did I not know you could dance?" Layla asked him quizzily after calling him into the office.

Roy had just come from the training room below, his chest and back were soaked with sweat. He wiped the sweat droplets from his head with a towel: "I went to try the mirror a few days ago. The first round was good. I even learned kung fu and vocal music, can I still learn to dance? Don't forget that those are all teachers you hired for me before. ”

He answered her words one by one, but the words of the answer made Leila speechless.

She had forgotten that she had indeed hired a dance teacher for him before. At that time, she asked him to learn to dance just in the hope that he could train him into a more comprehensive actor, maybe he would be able to use it when he could, and a little bit of skill would be cheaper in choosing movies. I didn't expect him to really use it, or at this time.

"How did I not know you were interested in Chicago?"

Roy raised his eyebrows: "You'll recommend me if you know?"

"That's right, didn't you save yourself from being reviewed round by round?" If he had said it earlier, why would he need to participate in the audition at this time, and put it directly on the final list.

Roy put his hand on the top of her head and patted it: "Don't underestimate your boyfriend too much, he is a genius, he can win the role he wants without you taking care of him." ”

Well, Leila now gets it. It turned out to be the self-esteem of the legendary man.

"If you think so, then go for it. What else could she say, though she thought this senseless self-esteem was boring. If it doesn't matter, isn't it invalid when it expires?

Roy smiled, obviously not wanting to say too much before he didn't succeed, so he diverted the topic: "Have you read today's newspaper? The North American box office of the movie has exceeded 300 million." ”

This is a record-breaking box office, counting the ones obtained by other countries, it is absolutely no problem for the global box office to break 400 million, and it is impossible to reach 500 million if you are lucky. He really wanted to see what the expressions on the faces of those who used to shout "300 million directors" would be after learning the news, and he didn't know if he was swollen by what he said.

"It's already 300 million?" Leila really didn't pay attention, but it was completely in her imagination that there would be such a box office, so she was only slightly surprised and didn't pay too much attention to it.

But her indifference was not the case in Roy's eyes. Doesn't this kind of achievement be taken seriously by her? It seems that he has to chase her harder, and he can't always let her go ahead of him, right?
