Chapter 230: Shura Yukihime
Speaking of killing Bill, there are a lot of Japanese-style scenes in it, and even the villain female OSS is wearing a kimono and holding a Japanese sword.
It is said that director Quentin made this film as a tribute and remake of a Japanese sword and halberd film, Shura Yukihime. The so-called sword and halberd film is a popular entertainment drama with slashing as the focus and the pursuit of visual excitement, commonly known as "killing array".
Usually this kind of drama will be full of period drama style, showing the spirit of bushido and the culture of martial arts. It is an important part of Japanese genre films.
In the final scene of the battle, in the snow-covered Japanese garden, the snow-white ground is rendered by splashes of blood, creating a shocking aesthetic that is the most direct manifestation of the aesthetics of violence.
And that scene is also the part that Leila has always remembered, and after preparing for filming, she also worried about whether she could capture those charms. If she hadn't expressed her realm perfectly, maybe this movie would really become her "Waterloo".
When I arrived at the entrance of the theme park, I saw Billy, the manager of the park, standing there with his round belly and smiling like Maitreya Buddha.
"Billy, I haven't seen you in a while, you look pretty good?" said Lyra as she got out of the car and said to him.
Billy smiled and walked a few steps to her side: "It's all taken care of by the boss, and I've made a little fortune recently." ”
The small fortune he was referring to was the "heavyweight" news that Leila had instructed him to release to the media, and the reporters of the media had spent a lot of money to pry his mouth open.
But those people obviously earned it, and the news that Billy bought for $100,000 was willing to pay several times or even ten times the price of any news outlet. So the small wealth he is talking about is really making a fortune.
"It's too much, just pay attention. In order to prevent him from becoming addicted to selling news, Leila still has to remind him to save the messy news from flying all over the sky, and no one will believe her when she releases the true news.
Billy patted his chest...... Well, that's actually the belly part.
"Don't worry, no matter how stupid I am, Billy, I won't do anything to be sorry for the company!"
"That's good. Leila gave her a meaningful look and headed for the theme park.
She knew very well that Billy knew the benefits of casting a long line to catch big fish as long as he wasn't stupid. Earning all the money at one time and making money in the future are completely different benefits. And is Billy stupid? Of course not!
"The foreground part is almost finished, and the main part of the back is also being built. Billy accompanied her as he reported to her: "You know, a lot of people are paying attention to our project, and a lot of time is wasted on covert operations for the sake of secrecy, which slows down our project a lot. ”
Leila nodded in understanding: "The time is not in a hurry, and it is okay to build while shooting." The main project must be meticulous, don't worry about the budget, anyway, you can earn it back in the future. ”
The foreground part is actually quite simple, just a large desert-like area. Bringing in a large amount of sand from the outside and building a humble desert church is the whole view of the foreground.
Don't look at the technical content, this part plays a very important role in the movie, after all, it is the origin of the whole story.
When the filming of the movie is over and the entire park is renovated, there will be one more mountain of gold in the theme park, so she doesn't mind spending more than the budget of the original.
The foreground area allows visitors to experience the wilderness and desert, while the main scenic area allows visitors to experience Japanese culture. While looking at the scenery, feeling the exotic scenery, and fulfilling the vision of the scenes in the movie, Leila is sure that no one will hate this place!
"Have you seen the design drawings? The main part is a design carried out by experts specially invited from Japan to ensure the originality!"
"After reading it, the design effect is very good, so you can watch the construction progress more. Leila calculated the time: "I hope to see results by September at the latest." ”
Billy smiled confidently: "Don't worry, if you don't build it in September, you can fire me!" Everyone knows that he loves this job to death, and dares to gamble with his job, which shows that he is full of confidence.
Leila followed Billy to see the main building, and now only some outlines have been built, but there is already a strong Japanese charm flowing out. No matter how many people don't like Japan, a country that has brought trauma to the East, they have to admit that they have done a good job of preserving traditions.
Most notably, when walking the streets of Japan, you can see people in kimonos walking by from time to time. But in China, not to mention those who wear Hanfu, even the cheongsam is almost extinct. However, in the later generations of her rebirth, there are already some people advocating the revival of Hanfu, looking forward to the day when they can really successfully carry forward their national costumes.
Hollywood in May has gradually faded from the cold, and it may be colder at night, but you can already go out in a single dress during the day. For some tourists, the temperature difference between day and night is more than 10 degrees Celsius, but for a person like Leila, who lived in a place with a greater temperature difference in her previous life, the warm weather is enough to make her feel much happier.
And as the end of May gradually approached, after harvesting the remaining box office of "The Grim Reaper", Leila, who maintained the global box office to 380 million again, boarded Moran's special plane with the blonde secretary and Theron and others, and followed her family to the top party of Amex.
This time, the box office did not reach 400 million, which made Leila have some small regrets.
But there is no way to do it, May is already the summer file, and the few films released are stronger than the other, and she is already satisfied if she can snatch a little leftovers from the mouths of these predators. Showing the Grim Reaper to the end, and it's still an R-rated horror movie, fighting those big productions is simply hitting a stone with an egg, and she hasn't thought about it that much.
But it's coming soon, her big production era!
Leila's hands tightened, her eyes looking out through the round window of the cabin, and her mood stirred as she looked at the city under the clear sky and the drifting clouds. The vast sky means a bigger stage, and when everything is ready for her to end, Hollywood, the United States, and the whole world will accept her another wave of impact!
"My dear. Janet walked up to her: "Are you not feeling well?"
"No. Leila gave her a smile back. "I just don't like flying. ”
"I know that. Janet covered her lips and laughed: "Your Grim Reaper is coming, after the broadcast, it is said that the boarding rate of the plane has dropped a lot. Some people went to your grandfather to complain about it. ”
Leila had seen this in the news, but she didn't take it seriously. In a sparsely populated place like the United States, airplanes are a very convenient means of transportation. Even if some people are frightened by the story of the plane crash now, they will come back when they forget about it.
