Hollywood in 1996 was far less prosperous than later generations, but it has also become the film capital of the world.

Located on the west coast of the United States in the suburbs of Los Angeles, California, it has the most beautiful scenery, the brightest stars, the most luxurious brands, and the most fashionable trends. It is also home to many major film studios, such as Disney, 20th Century Fox, Universal, Warner, Paramount, and many more.

Of course, to become the center of world cinema, these big film companies alone are not enough. Just like the pyramid, there are countless small companies below the summit that eat away at the living space they leave behind.

"Leila, we're here. Claire parked her car in front of a five-story building.

Layla stepped out of the car, and the first thing she saw was a huge lightbox hanging upstairs - Immortal Bird Films.

"Let's go, the lawyer is already waiting in the office. Claire patted her on the shoulder and led her in front.

Leila walked behind her, looking at everything around her with complicated eyes, half-worn desks, mottled walls, and staff members who looked numb as if they were waiting to die.

The elevator stopped on the fifth floor, and as soon as the door opened, a beautiful but somewhat panicked blonde young woman had already hurried over.

"Hello, Miss Moran, please go this way. ”

Layla nodded, not speaking but looking at Claire questioningly.

"She's your father's secretary. Claire whispered to her.

Demi seemed to remember that she hadn't introduced herself yet, and quickly turned around in a panic: "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." I'm Demi, Demi House. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Moran. ”

"Hmm. Lyra nodded in understanding, still not in the mood to speak.

Claire looked at her and sighed slightly. She understands her very well, who knows that her father has such a beautiful female secretary next to him, and he probably can't feel better.

She didn't know that Leila didn't care about that at all, and the so-called father was just a memory in Laila's heart. A man she hasn't seen for a few years and only wears the word father, why does she need to make her feel uncomfortable for him?

Soon, the three of them walked into an office.

In the office sat a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, and immediately stood up when he saw them enter.

"You must be Miss Leila Moran. I'm Templen Walton and I'm your father, Reynolds Rodney's personal lawyer. ”

"Hello, Mr. Walton. Leila shook his hand.

Walton smiled kindly, "Now that you've arrived, I'll read Mr. Rodney's will." ”

"Of course, please. Leila sat down in the chair Claire had brought and made a gesture of please to the lawyer.

"Mr. Rodney gives you everything in his name, including a $2 million single-family house, $15 million worth of several sports cars and yachts, and everything from Immortal Bird Films, Miss Leila Moran. You should take a look at the will first, and if there are no problems, please sign the receipt documents. ”

Leila took it, glanced at it a few times, and signed her name.

After seeing it, Attorney Walton smiled and held out his hand to her: "Congratulations, Miss Moran. Now everything here is yours. ”

"Thank you......" Layla replied lightly.

Well, she still doesn't know what she's feeling like.

In his previous life, he worked hard to earn a house in the capital, and now he has tens of millions of dollars in assets just by signing it.

Speaking of which, Reynolds Rodney, who bears his father's name, did not leave many memories in the original Leila's heart, but the newborn Leila learned a lot about him from the mouths of some people. Of course, she didn't want her father's love or anything, but she was notified that she had his inheritance.

Judging by what she knew, she had to admit that Reynolds was quite an attractive man. He has a pair of blue eyes and sexy facial features, is romantic by nature, and is very good at coaxing women and playing with the world. Otherwise, Bai Fumei's mother would not have had such a romantic and beautiful encounter with him.

At the same time, he is also very talented, single-handedly founded the Immortal Bird Film Company, and has produced several films with good returns. If he hadn't drunk too much and died suddenly on a woman's belly, Leila might have had a little admiration for him.

As can be seen from the legacy he left behind, he loved luxury cars and yachts, so much so that he didn't have much savings at all.

Leila didn't expect much money from him, and her mother and grandfather could give her more if she wanted it. She cares about this film company, because it just so happens that she was a director before she was born again.

She used to be an ideal woman, and after graduating from the directing department with the best grades, she was ambitious and wanted to show her skills, but the cruel reality made her understand that people who have no money and no one to support will never want to get that director's microphone.

She is a persistent person with the resilience to not die in the heart of the Yellow River. So she started from filming advertisements that she looked down on, and gradually got some scattered small "business", and then finally got the opportunity to shoot a TV series by relying on the accumulation of contacts.

In that era, if the TV series wanted to sell out, if the plot was not enough, they were embarrassed to take it out. What do the ratings depend on? Isn't it just word of mouth? It doesn't mean that if everyone says it's good, some people will watch it, and if everyone says it's bad, it can also attract people to watch. As for the content or something, the producer doesn't care, as long as the investment is rewarded.

You can imagine how uncomfortable it was for her to work hard for her ideals in those days. She wants to make movies, and she also yearns for the Oscar statuette, and longs to stand at the pinnacle of that movie world and shout arrogantly like James Cameron: I am the king of the world.

Finally, after ten years of hard work, she got an opportunity that an investor was willing to invest in making a movie, a real movie!

Just when she was excited, new problems arose, investors brought not only money, but also actresses, supporting actresses, and many important role candidates. But those people can't even compare to extras, they are simply "family portraits" made by investors for the sake of their families, and the seven aunts and eight aunts gather together to show their faces on the screen.

But even if she had to shoot each scene seven or eight times, or even seventeen or eighteen times, she still gritted her teeth and made the movie. However, the footage she worked hard to shoot was still taken away in the end. Looking at the final result that had been edited in a mess, she burst into tears.

I also want to know what the effect of that kind of thing will be when it is screened. The actor will be scolded, the screenwriter will be scolded, and the director will be the worst scolded.

Physically and mentally exhausted, she got herself drunk for the first time and wanted to leave all the tiredness behind. It's just that what she didn't expect was that when she woke up, she not only came to the United States, but also became a foreign girl.

Yes, she will help little Leila fulfill her unfulfilled wishes, but when she has the opportunity, she wants to show her talent in this world.

Here, she has money, support, and even the film company gave her one, with the memory of those future movies, what does she care about thinking that she will not be successful?

She wants to prove to the world that she is capable and that she will be the best director if she is given a chance!
