Chapter 966: Price

"Who?" the laughter in the room stopped abruptly, and Leonardo's head poked out of the crack in the door. "It's you. Coming to find justice for your fiancΓ©e?" "He had long known that his friend was a wife protector, and he was not surprised at all that he was here.

"I thought you'd come earlier. ”

Roy said lightly, "Don't you let me in?"

"Of course, come on. Leonardo scratched his head, opened the door and let him in.

Part of what their crew lived in was a makeshift house, and part of it was an original building. The treatment of the actors is the best, and the living conditions are quite good. Although the extravagant furniture is not to be considered, at least it is clean and tidy, and there is a comfortable bed, which is a very necessary equipment for tired actors.

Barr was also in the room, and saw someone come in, and was shyly arranging his clothes and hair.

"By the way, I haven't introduced you yet, have I? This is Ball, my girlfriend. Leonardo put his hand on her waist and pointed at Roy with a smile: "You don't need to introduce this one, right?"

"Of course. Hello, Mr. Ji Xing. Barr was starting to get nervous again.

It's a different kind of tension from the one that comes with Layla. In front of the director, she felt a sense of oppression as if she was seeing a god, but seeing Roy was completely the excitement, excitement and shame that fans had when they saw the male god in their hearts.

Leonardo saw her embarrassment, not only was he not jealous, but laughed: "What Mr. Ji Xing, just call Roy." We are best friends. ”

If he were to other men, he would have to take a bite of old vinegar, but he was not worried about this old friend at all. Who knows the guy well and doesn't know that he can only see a woman named Leila Moran? If Barr can really make this guy empathize, he might even have to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate that he is finally out of the sea of misery.

Roy nodded at Barr, and then said with a pale face, "Leo, I want to talk to you." ”

Leonardo's smile faded, and he looked at him steadily, "Okay, let's go outside and talk." ”

Roy didn't say anything and turned and walked out of the room. Barr sensed that the atmosphere between the two was a little stiff, and couldn't help but glance at Leonardo worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's okay. I'll be back soon. Leonardo kissed her soothingly, and then followed Roy's footsteps and walked outside.

To be on the safe side, Roy didn't go too far and stopped where the crew stacked up the debris. Because of Leila's holiday, no one will be in or out of here for the time being. Except for a few mercenaries dressed as handymen who looked at them scrutinically when they saw them coming, no one else noticed the arrival of the two.

"You should know why I called you here, right?" Roy's expression was faint, and there was no trace of joy or anger. But it was such an expression that made Leonardo, who was standing opposite, feel a trace of palpitations.

"Is it because of Lyra?" he deliberately pretended not to care.

Roy looked at him, "I regret telling her the script in the first place." If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have come to this dangerous place, suffered so much, and had to grieve for the unorthodox of the actors. ”

Leonardo knew that Hollywood as a whole didn't know how many film production companies and individuals wanted to put the script on her desk, and as long as there was a book that she could fancie, it was a huge business opportunity. It's just that over the years, very few have succeeded in doing so.

When the news of his cooperation with Leila spread, I don't know how many people were shocked. Who would have thought that so many people would not succeed, but he would succeed as an actor? Everyone was curious about what kind of work it was, and then "Blood Diamond" finally surfaced under the pervasive exploration of reporters.

The public who got the news were a little surprised by Leila's choice, according to them, she is the kind of magical director who can make movies into commercial films and the reputation of art films. The next choice should be similar, the kind that can make a lot of money and can have a deep meaning.

But what the hell is "Blood Diamond"?

Artistically speaking, it may be very meaningful, but what about the commercial value? Sorry, no one can see any commercial value in it. It's already satisfying that this type can save money, and at most it can take advantage of the awards.

But is Leila missing an award? She has just swept the Oscars, and she has even won Best Director, Best Picture and so on, so she probably won't want to compete for that award for the time being, right? I don't seem to know of any director who can win that award two years in a row.

As a result, Layla's idea of filming "Blood Diamond" is difficult to understand. Don't forget that she also has a box office record, that is, the box office of the films she has shot has never been less than 300 million, and she has always been able to maintain the box office champion for two weeks.

Hearing such a question, many people will let out a "friendly" hehe. They dare to bet with their whole body worth that there will never be a box office explosion like her before. Judging from the 100 million cost given by the movie, I am afraid that capital preservation is already a hard task. Maybe you have to wait until you get some awards to make a little bit of money on CD distribution.

This has little to do with whether the movie is made well or not, it is the reality faced by the movie, and the audience is destined to not have many people who like such profound movies. is congenitally more lacking than commercial films that will explode at the box office, and it is simply not something that can be solved by Laila's inability to make a move.

She is indeed very powerful, and she has repeatedly shown her excellent talent for material selection through various types of movies. But this time, unlike previous controversies, except for a few die-hard fans, almost none of them are optimistic about the box office of the film.

Why did Leila still take this movie? Didn't she care at all about the miracle box office record she had created before? With that, she could become a celebrity in film history through the ages! It can be regarded as a great achievement that has never been seen before or since.

The result that even outsiders can see, Lyla herself will definitely not see. If she is not arrogant enough to think that she can make such a type of film as a previous box office record, it can only be said that she likes the film so much that she likes it to the point that she can even give up the previous record.

Leonardo hadn't thought about it, but he ignored it. In his mind, he is obviously more concerned about whether he can get the Oscar for Best Actor trophy. As for Leila's box office record, he subconsciously chose to forget.

At this time, when Roy mentioned it, he remembered how much Layla had paid for this film.
