Chapter 48: Theme Parks
Leila then asks Demi to call Louise into the office.
"This is the script and storyboard for the second movie, you send it down. Also regarding the cast, I hope there is a place for Roy in it. ”
Louise took the script and asked worriedly, "Is Roy okay?" I saw that he had no previous experience. ”
Although Hollywood is always crowded with people who want to become stars, most of them will have relevant experience. Not to mention participating in the training, wouldn't it be too child's play to be brought in to participate in the movie without even participating in the school's stage play?
"Anyway, it's the first actor signed by the company, just let him try, if it doesn't work, it's better to find someone else to replace him. ”
There are so many characters in SAW that nothing really impresses her except for the jigsaw played by Tobin. So in other words, it doesn't matter who plays the other roles. In line with the noble character of not flowing into the fields of outsiders, how can you do it if you don't take care of your own people?
She said so, and Louise couldn't say anything more: "I see." So any ideas for the other characters?"
Leila thought for a moment, "Send a copy of the script to Tobin first, and sign it when he agrees." In addition, find one of the female characters for Charlize Theron. ”
Louise was stunned for a moment, but then responded: "Okay, that's fine. ”
"And. Leila searched around the table and pulled out a piece of paper with something drawn from a file. "You go and help me find a place like this. ”
"What is this?"
"Whatever. Empty warehouses, abandoned factories, as long as the size is enough, anything. It's best to be in a more secluded place, or in a quieter area, but not too far from the road. ”
Louise still didn't understand: "Do you want to buy it?"
"Yes, I'm going to build a studio for my next movie there. When the movie is over, it will be transformed into a horror theme park. ”
Now Louise understood, and was shocked by Lyra's thoughts.
Theme parks are not unusual, the most famous is Disneyland, which can be said to have opened all over the world and has become a favorite place for countless children.
But want to create a theme park with just one movie?
It's not impossible to succeed, as long as you have enough characters like Disney that people know and can attract people. But that means that the movie must be a hit, a hit, and become another dark horse.
But how many such films can there be in film history?
Louise was not optimistic about the project, but this was requested by the boss and she was obviously confident in it, so she had to take on the task head-on. Anyway, the witch Blair brought a lot of profits to the company, and even if the project failed, they shouldn't be in the predicament of going bankrupt, right?
Unbeknownst to Leila, she was already thinking about the bankruptcy of the company from the theme park, and continued, "It's not just the new movies that are about to start, but the scary scenes that will appear in our movies in the future, including Blair the Witch." ”
"Okay. Louise nodded subconsciously. But when she came back to her senses, she found an important question: "Will the direction of the company be all horror movies in the future?"
She does not deny that the little boss has a talent for making horror movies, after all, a dark horse that has created a miracle is still reaping the box office around the world. But no matter how good-looking things are, once they are filmed three times or twice, will the audience get tired of watching them? And she is not very optimistic about horror movies. is still the same sentence, there are too few horror films in film history that make a lot of money.
In fact, Louise overlooked the fact that Laila had taken care of her appetite. If Reynolds was the boss, a movie selling millions of dollars would already be a huge amount of money. But this time, the witch's box office soared to the sky, so that their company never entered the stream, and jumped directly into the 100 million club, the 200 million club, and is moving towards the 300 million club unabated.
This also caused Louise to be unable to put "small movies" that could only earn tens of millions in her eyes. However, this is also related to the fact that the shock brought by the witch is too great, and I believe that when the excitement in her heart wears off over time, she will be able to return to the "surface".
"Aren't horror movies bad?" Layman said, stretching his fingers one by one, "The cost is low, the technology doesn't need to be too high, the post-production is not difficult, and the actors don't need to be too famous." So many benefits why don't we keep shooting. ”
Louise smiled, "Yes." ”
Leila could see the reluctance in her smile, and knew that a witch alone would not make the people of the company fully trust her. In her plan, two or three films will be made this year, and as long as these two or three films win the expected box office, the company's distrust of her should be completely eliminated. When the company's atmosphere and people's hearts are grasped, it is time for the immortal bird company to make great strides.
A third-rate film production company is not the end she wants!
"That's right. Leila suddenly remembered something: "Don't forget to sign Dwayne Johnson's brokerage contract, I'm very optimistic about him." ”
Louise grimaced: "I've already had people contact him, but I may not get too good results." ”
Leila was stunned: "What? He still doesn't like our conditions?" Because she knew Johnson's future achievements, the contract she gave was quite good. And she doesn't think that at this time, he is willing to fight people in the wrestling league all his life, if he is not interested in acting in movies, how can he devote himself to the film industry in the future, and make achievements that professional actors have not done?
"I think our conditions are sufficient. It's just that he's not very optimistic about us. Although he is indeed interested in acting in movies, he seems to be more inclined to other more powerful agencies. ”
After listening to Louise's words, Layla immediately understood that the daring lover didn't look down on her at all.
It's not surprising that he has already won a lot of awards and sold his autobiography to the sales charts. A contract with a broker department that has just been established by a small third-rate company, he really doesn't need to pay too much attention to it.
Seeing that she was a little unhappy, Louise hurriedly said: "But the situation may not be so bad, our past people still got in touch with him, and seeing our sincerity will make him change his mind." ”
"If you don't want to, forget it. Leila quickly figured it out. There are countless stars big and small in Hollywood, and those who are still looking for opportunities at the bottom will definitely be willing. "Try to do it first, and I don't blame you if you fail. ”
"Okay. Louise was secretly relieved.
