Chapter 209: Worry

"Just kidding. Zeny smiled, then turned to a solemn expression: "But seriously, are you sure you want to choose such an adventurous theme? Now you still have the aura of winning all battles, and everyone is saying that you are a genius, that you have magic, that you make movies that are classics." But if the new movie fails, everything for you may be gone. Your fans will leave, your enemies will be happy, they will stand up and lash out at you, are you sure you have what it takes to withstand it all?"

But how could Layla not know that? She knew in her heart the power of Kill Bill. The only thing that is uncertain is whether I will be able to make a movie that is comparable to or even surpasses the original. If she can't shoot it, then obviously she may really have a "Waterloo" of her own.

But so what?

"I'm young, I failed this time, and I have a lot of opportunities to succeed. So what if you start over?"

That's exactly what happened when Zeini thought about it. Less than 20 years old this year, Leila has a much higher starting point than other directors. Take the global box office she has created, many directors with deeper qualifications than her, more movies than her, and directors who have been directing longer than her are far inferior to her. Or except for some big directors, it is basically not as high as the box office she gets.

With such a terrible ability to harvest the box office, maybe it won't be completely denied because of a failure, right? Zeny doesn't know the rules of Hollywood very well, so he can only comfort himself in his heart. He didn't want Layla to be discouraged by a failure.

"Well, I'll admit you convinced me. But why do you suddenly want to make a movie that is mainly a woman? or an action movie. What the hell is in your cute little head?"

Leila couldn't help but chuckle: "You're also a strange person, I made horror movies, and I made so many people die strangely without you saying anything, but made an action movie to make you strange." ”

Zeny also smiled: "It's too difficult for you to ask a forensic doctor to have a view on death." "In his world, corpses and death are all the most commonplace, and how could he be surprised by the variety of deaths in the movies?

As she spoke, Layla drove back to her mansion in Beverly Hills. Claire had been waiting there, knowing that a guest was coming, and she had already packed a room.

She was well aware of the relationship between the Zeni family and the Moran family, so she did not reject him for the time being. Of course, it's just boarding, and if she finds that there are other "signs" appearing, she will definitely extinguish it as soon as possible.

Just kidding! How can her cute little Leila have a deeper relationship with a man who spends her days tinkering with corpses?

Looking at Claire, who was smiling gently and lovingly, Leila could not have imagined that she was vigilant at the highest level of vigilance in her heart.

After sending Zeni to his room, Leila dialed Louise's phone: "Have you read the script?"

"Yes, I've seen it. ”

"How does it feel?"

Louise hesitated: "I can't figure it out either, I can only say that it is a more adventurous and niche movie." ”

Her thoughts were the same as Zeni's, and Leila wasn't surprised. It can be said that before "Kill Bill", who would have thought that an action movie with a female protagonist would be so highly rated?

She wouldn't explain her thoughts to others one by one, so she said to her directly: "Plan according to what is written, you can't tell the quality of the movie just by looking at the script." ”

"You're right. The script is important, the director is equally important, and thinking of the success of her little boss, Louise decided to trust her more. "I've asked the people below to calculate the cost, although there is no exact calculation yet, it is estimated that it will be between 30 million and 40 million. Mainly the set aspect requires a lot. ”

"It doesn't matter, we're used to small costs, and it's time to march towards big productions. Laila thought about the few movies she had made, from tens of thousands at the beginning to tens of millions now, it can be said that they have improved like flying.

It's a pity that when you calculate the cost, the yield of all the movies is not as high as that of the witch. It's a pity that there is only one movie like the witch that is small and big, and a few years later there is a "Ghost Record" that can be compared to it, but the witch in front of me has squeezed too much curiosity from the audience. Launching the same type of DV movie in a short period of time, Leila couldn't think of any other possibilities than hitting the streets.

"Big production, big production, of course!" Louise laughed happily on the other end of the phone. That's exactly what she's been looking forward to for a long time, isn't it? I believe that as long as you are in the film industry, no one will not be interested in big productions.

Although a large investment does not necessarily bring huge benefits, a large investment still has many advantages over a small investment. For example, the set, such as the actors, such as the crew members, such as the special effects screen, if the budget is sufficient, you can use the best. If you add a good script and a good director, the probability of success is much higher than failure.

Not every director has the ability of Leila, who can repeatedly get the most out of the minimum investment, which is one of the reasons why other film production companies are jealous of the immortal. Think about one investing hundreds of millions of dollars and the other investing millions, but the box office of the two is about the same, how can you not make others jealous?

In other words, a small cost can win big profits, but what about big productions? With Leila's ability, she must be able to get even more benefits, right?

You must know that the movies she made are all R-rated, which means that more teenagers are restricted from watching. And those young people make up a large proportion of her fan base. Can you imagine what a surprising box office record she will have once she shoots a film that is not so high-limiting? Louise was a little excited to think of this, and I couldn't wait for her to make a movie that was suitable for all ages now.

"Leila, your new film is also R-rated, why don't you try to make something more accessible to young people? ”

The summer file occupies an important position in the box office throughout the year, and it is also the battlefield where major film companies fight every year. Leila has not impulsively chosen that prime time slot so far, because she knows that with her current small body, she will only become cannon fodder. And she is shooting R-rated, and the summer file does not have much impact on her, so she has never reached out.

However, it was not before, and it does not exist now, which does not mean that it will not be in the future. How could Leila, who is looking at "money", give up such a good opportunity to make money?

"Don't worry, Louise, we're going soon. ”

Louise's heart "chuckled" and asked nervously and hopefully, "How fast?"

"Soon, soon, maybe the next movie. The corners of Lyra's lips lifted slightly, giving her an answer that made her excited.

"That's great! I look forward to that day soon!" Louise looked forward to it.
