Chapter 544: Sharp Interview (1)
There is one person on the list who Leila once wanted to sign, but people didn't like her - Dwayne Johnson.
She has always liked this actor in later life, and when she was with Zeney, she happened to see his game and wanted to take someone under her own whim. It's a pity that at that time, her agents were still nested in a small department, but a lineup of dozens of people. The invitation was quickly declined, leaving her a little disappointed.
But she also knew that after all, people were already famous, and the small department under her command couldn't be put in his eyes at all. Dwayne Johnson is a person who knows what he wants to do, so naturally he will not follow him because someone threw an olive branch at him and promised a bunch of benefits.
Now it's different, she bought AMG, and her team of agents has expanded by more than ten or even dozens of times compared to the original, and it is no longer so shabby as before. In addition, she herself also has very good strength and resources, so there should not be as much resistance to poaching people at this time.
As soon as he finished dealing with the work at hand, Anthony's phone called: "Boss, the interview you promised should be ready to start, right?"
"Ugh. Leila had apparently put the matter behind her: "I know, you can arrange it." Today or tomorrow, I'll wait in the company's office. ”
How could Anthony not have guessed that she had forgotten the matter? It's just that since she is willing to carry out the agreement, there is no need for him to dwell on forgetting it, lest his little boss turn down the interview because of "shame and anger."
"If you can, can you find a place on the set of Chicago to do an interview?"
Layla thought about it and understood what he was thinking, "You want to ask about the movie by the way?"
"If you can, of course, the best. You know the Oscars just ended, you got three more awards, and there's a lot of interest in Chicago right now. It would be a pity not to take advantage of the popularity and wait for the heat to dissipate before taking it out and stir-frying. ”
Although it seems to be helping "Chicago" with free promotion. In fact, there are two sides to everything, the newspaper wants sales, and readers will find what they want to read for them, so that sales can be increased.
As he just said, "Pirates of the Caribbean" at the Oscars just won three awards, and it can be said that many people are interested in Leila's new work. However, "Chicago" was filmed behind closed doors, and many of them were filmed in studios.
The more it is hidden, the more people want to dig it up. Anthony can get the approval of the old man and Leila, and his own ability is naturally needless to say. How could he waste an interview opportunity that he rarely got from a small boss? Get the most benefits at the least cost, and you have to achieve mutual benefit, that's what he likes to do the most.
"I don't care if I want to be there. "Leila didn't think there was anything unpleasant. The crew filmed almost always in the studio, so she didn't let some reporters come in for interviews, so she didn't have to break the props or anything.
The producer thought that she wanted to close the shooting, so they simply closed the entire studio and refused all interview requests from outside. That's when people on the outside are desperate to know what she's been filming lately. When Laila found out about this misunderstanding, she thought it was nothing wrong, so she let the misunderstanding go on.
For the sake of her face, the "Entertainment Daily" wants to get an interview from her, and the producer will not say anything. Now she has the highest voice in the crew, even the producers and investors will point fingers in front of her at will.
No way, who called her one of the most famous and profitable directors in Hollywood right now? Just "making money" can already make producers and investors treat her as a god.
In the past few days, the crew of "Chicago" has not been idle, and assistant director Rob Marshall instructed the actors to rehearse the next song and dance, and helped the director control the situation of the crew when he was free. Anyway, he can finally realize his dream of directing.
"I've rehearsed the last few scenes, the actors are in great shape and we're ready to go into filming. When Rob met Leila, he told her everything about the last two days.
“OK。 Leila walked straight to her own lounge in the crew: "I'll have an interview later, you can inform me that the official shooting will be at three o'clock in the afternoon." ”
"Good. Rob didn't ask where the visit was, nodded and left.
He was so intriguing, and Lyra's impression of him improved a lot. This person she has decided to sign in to her own flag, and she has a strong ability to work and a strong ability to accept. Don't look at her age a lot older than herself, but she never looks down on her because of her age. And his directing ability is very good, as can be seen from the fact that he was nominated for the Oscar for Best Director with "Chicago" in his previous life.
It wasn't nonsense that Leila promised him a sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean, because in his previous life, Rob did shoot a sequel to the movie, but not the second, but the fourth. Except that the script is not very good, she is sure that there is no problem with his directing ability.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the reporter who interviewed her appeared in front of her on time, and to Lyra's surprise, it was Anthony himself.
"What? You're interested in journalism now, too?"
Anthony didn't care about the ridicule of the little boss, and elegantly pushed his glasses: "Although I am not a reporter, I know what readers want to know the most, am I not qualified to take on this interview task?"
Leila raised her eyebrows and smiled, "What you said makes sense, I don't even know how to refute it." Well, Mr. Anthony, let me see what readers want to know about me. ”
Anthony was not polite, first asked the photographer to take a few pictures of Leila, and then turned on the tape recorder, ready to record all her words, so that he could hand them over to someone to deal with when he returned.
"First question, Leila, do you have any thoughts on how your film can win three awards at once?"
Leila chuckled, "Are you sure the reader wants to know something so simple? I thought the wording should be more drastic, such as: "Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you, the director, to be a director and not even have a nomination?"
Anthony shrugged: "Who told you to be my future boss too? ”
Leila was amused by him: "It seems like it's true." Actually, you're afraid that I'll kick you out in a fit of rage, right?"
