Chapter 9 Filming Locations
Knowing that the company has a movie to make, the happiest people are the employees below. After getting the script handed in above, several departments immediately began to study it.
At first, when they saw that the screenwriter's name was their new boss, everyone still had a bad feeling, but when they saw the clearly and delicately drawn storyboard, they immediately saw the professionalism of the script. Let's not talk about the content or anything, this storyboard script alone can definitely be regarded as a first-class level.
There was a knock on the door.
Coming in was Louise Baker, one of the company's last remaining veterans and a member of the company's middle management.
"Miss Moran. ”
"Just call me Leila. Laila smiled at her kindly, stepped out from behind her desk, and invited her to sit on the couch next to her.
It took an afternoon to replace all the flashy, demoralizing furniture and furnishings. As a person with an oriental soul, she has a natural preference for solid wood, so the furnishings in exchange for a set of atmospheric and calm crimson office furniture. From the desk to the bookcase, there is no more pink atmosphere like the original love hotel.
"Okay, Leila. Louise smiled, but her expression didn't relax much.
She knows what kind of net worth the girl in front of her has behind her, and she can definitely spray herself to the level of Siberia with a sneeze, so she is polite, and the respect she deserves still has to be expressed. And I don't know if it's because of the change of office layout, she always feels that this girl brings her an inexplicable pressure, so she can't help but put on a more respectful posture.
Lyla has also been a director for ten years, even if there is only one movie, there are a lot of TV series or something. In those crews, as long as she doesn't collide with the producer, she basically belongs to the crew and walks sideways. Unconsciously, the kind of momentum that should have been cultivated has also been cultivated, otherwise how can you suppress some little stars with their tails cocked into the sky and looking at people with their nostrils?
"There are some questions I want to communicate with you. ”
"No problem. Leila gestured to her.
"That's right, about the choice of filming location, I don't know if you already have a place in your heart?"
"Yes. Leila nodded, "I'm going to be in Berlake Town." ”
Louise frowned suspiciously, "Blake Town?"
"It's in Maryland. I've seen it on TV before, and there's a mountain forest that's perfect for us to shoot. Leila replied half-truthfully.
The town of Burlake was the filming location of the original witch Blair, and with such a forest that was fine, she naturally didn't want to waste time looking for other places.
Louise didn't know the place, but since the family had said so, she wouldn't say anything. Anyway, after her calculations, it won't take tens of thousands of dollars to make this movie, just to make the eldest lady happy, and she will also try to do her job well.
"I understand, I'll arrange it in a moment. And what else do you need about props?"
"It's all professional, I'm sure they can surprise me, so I'll leave it to them. If there is a problem, I will speak up then. ”
"Okay. Louise was still quite happy about her trust, and after asking a few more trivial questions, she suddenly looked like she wanted to say something.
Leila raised an eyebrow, "Anything else?" It's the first time we've worked together, and a lot of things need to be slowly grinded, isn't it?"
"That's right. After we studied the script, we all felt that something was missing?" Louise tried to "correct" her mistakes in a way that was most understandable to the other person and not offended the other person.
"What's missing?"
"Ugh. From the beginning, he was looking for a witch, but in the end, the witch didn't appear. The implication is that you've forgotten your most important role?
Leila now understands why she wants to say it but doesn't dare to say it, because she is afraid that her script will be blamed, and then she loses her temper and turns around and leaves, right?
"Huh. She chuckled twice: "That's good, just say what you have, we can discuss it." ”
"Yes, that's what you said. Louise laughed too, but this kind of talk is just to hear, and it is impossible to really say anything. That's stupid!
Leila thought for a moment before she said, "If a person knows that they will die in an hour, and in a very terrible way, what do you think is the most terrifying? Is it the horror of death, or is it the time to wait for death to be more terrifying?"
Louise chuckled in her heart, and felt that what the eldest lady said seemed to have some truth! Is death terrible? Of course, the answer is yes. But if it was me, knowing that I would die in a terrible way in an hour, I would definitely be scared to death by the atmosphere of approaching death.
Leila could see her expression and knew she understood: "We're making a horror movie, and we don't just let a scary-dressed witch run out and scare people and scream." Maybe the mainstream does that, but this movie doesn't. Sometimes the unknown, the unseen, is the most terrifying. ”
"I see. When Louise understood her thoughts, her first reaction was shock. I was shocked by her unique thinking, but also by her bold innovation. It seems that the eldest lady didn't come to play movies because she had money and nowhere to lose?
Her look of surprise made Leila blush a little. These theories may be novel now, but they will rot in the future. But it doesn't matter, it can be used now.
She patted Louise's hand, "I know what kind of atmosphere is in the company right now, and I know that you may have a hard time. This movie is our company's test of the waters, let's see how far the new immortal bird can go!"
"Okay, Leila, I think we're going to make a surprising film. Louise's voice was a little excited. Anyway, she is also a veteran who came in since the company was founded, and of course she hopes that the company will get better and better.
"Go get busy. Leila looked at the clock on the wall, it was time for lunch.
"Then I'll go out first. Louise stood up and walked out.
"By the way, I've already contacted the Screen Actors Guild, and you will host the audition the day after tomorrow. Leila added before she went out.
"No problem. Louise was familiar with this kind of thing, and immediately patted her plump chest and agreed.
Originally, Leila wanted to choose by herself, but her age is a hard flaw, and maybe someone will think that she can't make a good film because of her age and qualifications and give up this audition. It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, and when the witch Blair becomes the biggest dark horse of all time, her next move should be much easier.
Thinking of the day after tomorrow, her heart couldn't help but burn.
What kind of people will she meet at the audition? Will she find out that Puyu is buried in history?
