Chapter 412: Four Billion Declarations (2)
Hook applauded her words in his heart, and many people flinched when they saw others say "impossible", while those who did not flinch might get a huge gain if they could make it to the end. It's not like nothing like this has happened, in the world of film, in the world of science, in the world of music, in many places there have been similar stories handed down.
The experience of your predecessors may indeed help you, but if you can't even stick to your beliefs, how can you achieve the desired success?
"Where do you think your pirate movie could be successful?"
"That's what the audience will tell me after they've seen it. "No matter how arrogant Leila is, she won't make a big deal out of the movie before it is released, and blow her movie out of the sky. The 400 million declaration just now is already the ultimate she can do, and basically for her, no matter how good she is, it is better to make something practical.
Now blowing the bull to the sky is just a joke for others to see. It's better to wait until you get the desired result in the future, and then take it out and slap it in the face, isn't it?
Hook also felt that it was not interesting to ask any more, so he changed the subject: "Recently, there have been many rumors that Roy jumped to AMG because there was a problem in your relationship. Someone else counted the days and said you hadn't seen each other for nearly two months, is that true?"
Leila was a little speechless, it turned out that there were really uncomfortable people who could help her calculate this kind of time.
"It's not like that, Ovitz is a very strong guy, and Roy is trying to follow him. He talked to us before he left and we didn't feel anything bad about it. If he wants to come back, we will accept him without any guilt. As for not seeing each other for a while recently, it is also because he went to a crew for closed filming, and he will not come back until the filming is completed. ”
She deliberately sandwiched the phrase "If you are willing to come back, I will accept him without any guilt", in order to make Ovitz nervous. Although she didn't do anything to him for the sake of future plans, it didn't mean that she really didn't care about him poaching Roy at all.
Does anyone who dares to extend their claws to her territory hope to keep them? Of course, as many as they can cut! Even if they can't cut now, the accumulated anger will only make the owner of the claw lose more.
Hook is a very experienced journalist who asks questions that are of most interest to the outside audience at the moment. People outside always think that it is very enviable and jealous that they have been able to get an interview with Leila in the Entertainment Family Daily. But the people at their newspaper knew in their hearts that it would be impossible for them to interview Laila casually.
Only when the future boss is in a good mood or wants to use their newspaper to convey the word to the outside world can he get an interview.
On the surface, they seem to be able to release a lot of things about Leila every time, but in fact, many of them are just one interview divided into multiple reports. Time-sensitive topics are put out first, and then another part of the interview is written as a report after a while.
People outside have always thought that Leila is their own person, and who knows how difficult it is to interview this own person?
So Hook finally got this opportunity, so he naturally asked all the questions he could think of, and the memo was full of several pages of questions, and asked Leila for answers one by one.
Lyra said everything she wanted to say, and she had to give others a little sweetness, so she patiently answered it all, and it took more than two hours to finally fool Hook and the others away, who looked satisfied.
Early the next morning, "Entertainment Daily" really published an exclusive interview with her on the front page of the entertainment section, which occupied most of the page. That's just a quarter of what was yesterday's problem, and that's enough for the newspaper to sell three times.
Knowing this, Leila could only smile bitterly, who told her that she didn't like to deal with the media? I played too much in my previous life, and I felt tired of it in this life.
After reading the newspaper, she was also satisfied with the content on it. In the end, it is her own newspaper, and she will not take words out of context like other newspaper media, nor will she add fuel and vinegar to talk nonsense, and basically put everything she wants to say on it.
And this interview did not surprisingly cause a stir. Many readers who have been distorted by the recent rumors about "300 million directors" finally remembered, yes! What a great box office is 300 million, how can they still think that it would be ridiculous to make so much money?
Among so many directors in Hollywood, how many can start with the first movie, and each one gets a box office of 300 million?
George Lucas, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg...... Those who can make it to the top directors may have made very profitable movies in the future, but how much did they get for their first work?
Because of an interview with the "Entertainment Reporter", the public opinion that had been led down the wrong path finally came back and began to discuss Leila's miraculous box office positively. And at this time, when people talk about "300 million directors", it is no longer a ridiculous tone but an admiring tone!
When Faisal got the following news and knew that public opinion could no longer hype, he casually gave up the intention of continuing to hype. Originally, I was going to disgust the other party, but this time I insisted on it for a few days, and it was already good. Anyway, there is still time, and I will continue to play later.
Now he is more concerned about the new movie he has invested in, the first "Thirteenth Warrior" was beaten miserably by "Kill Bill", and neither the quality of the movie nor the word of mouth is at the same level. This made Faisal, who had always had a smooth ride and a considerable obsession with victory and success, very unacceptable.
Now their new investment in this one has made him see the possibility of success, the sea, the big ship, the love story, the disaster...... All signs seem to be able to compete with "Titanic".
Michael Bay, the big director invited by the movie, also made him admire it very much, this director known as Explosive Bay is really handy, especially his good friendship with the American official, so that he can easily borrow some real weapons to appear in the movie, which makes the quality of the movie rise to a high value worth looking forward to.
The last failure was because the eldest lady Fay and he had just arrived in Hollywood and had not yet mastered the rules of the game. But now it's different, he already knows a lot about it, and the next thing is just a successful harvest.
He has a lot of confidence in "Pearl Harbor" this time. He didn't bother to pay attention to the grudge between the eldest lady and Moran, what he wanted was to take advantage of the success of this movie to gain a foothold in Hollywood, and then control the market with a huge flow of money!
Movies are a weapon to make money!
