Chapter 1041: Pain and Happiness
It was an intercepted report from the South African news, detailing the causes and consequences of the extermination of Martin's gang, as well as the bad things that were dug up. The people of the country must want this cancer to be removed, and they welcome it. Martin's original opponents all clamped their tails, eager to hide themselves a little deeper, so as not to be so unlucky to be regarded as the next target by the authorities.
"I just want to see what it turns out to be. Leila put down the report in her hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "It's really a nice place there, except for the inconvenience, the environment is not bad." ”
Roy smiled and shook his head: "You still feel bearable if you live there for a few months, but you won't think so if you live there for the rest of your life." ”
Although he hasn't received much family warmth since he was a child, he still feels lucky to be born in this country. If it weren't for the people who had helped him a lot, he might have starved to death or been in prison long before he met Lyra.
Leila laughed too, "You're right. I think I owe it to the weather that went so smoothly this time. If she remembers correctly, when Edwards Zwick, the director of "Blood Diamond", went to South Africa to shoot, he happened to encounter a rare heavy rainstorm, and the whole rainy season was extremely miserable. It's a shame that they can still make a movie.
This time she was different, there was a time when it rained, but it was within an acceptable range.
"You call that smooth?" Roy cupped his forehead: "If that can be considered smooth, I really can't figure out what you can call it unsmooth." "Being kidnapped by Martin aside, Leo's emotional adjustment took up a lot of time. There are a lot of things that need to be coordinated, can it really be considered smooth?
"I think being able to shoot all the shots I need can be described as smooth. If you can't shoot the effect you want after working hard for half a day, it will naturally not go well. "Is this hard to understand?
Roy surrendered: "Well, what you say always makes so much sense. So dear Miss Leila, can you come with me to the restaurant for lunch and enjoy a hearty meal?"
"Of course, my pleasure. Leila smiled and responded.
Martin's matter was completely settled for her. As Xiao Yu said, Martin, who has been sentenced for more than 20 years, will probably be in his 60s even if he has a chance to come out alive. At that time, he wanted money or not, and she didn't need to worry about what kind of threat such a person would pose to her in the United States.
However, for an old man Moran who protects his shortcomings, it is obviously not enough to just sentence.
Not long after Martin went to prison to serve his sentence, he was stabbed in the vital part of a prison fight, and died of excessive bleeding on the way to be bandaged. At that time, the scene was so chaotic that no one knew who stabbed him, so he had to stop in the end.
When Martin died, Xiao Yu informed Layla when he found out. Leila didn't think anything of it, anyway, she had seen too many similar stories in American dramas. However, Xiao Yu understood through his friends that someone must have intervened in this matter. As for whether it was Martin's old rivals or others, they didn't know.
Only Old Man Moran himself knows that Leila is still young, and there are many things that she doesn't need to know, but she needs to know things and she must also make an understanding. Whether it's dealing with Daoud in secret, or making it clear to a hidden danger Martin, it's up to him to do it. His granddaughter is an angelic child, and all she needs to do is see light in her eyes!
Returning to work, Leila began to dive headlong into the editing room. All who know her well know that no one should disturb her at this time, otherwise the amiable-looking boss may give you a roar that will last a lifetime.
She has always attached great importance to editing, and even the award she won at the Oscars was that editing was much earlier than the director.
As a director who can edit by herself, she is very satisfied and cherishes this opportunity. Try to keep every shot in your head, pick out the most satisfying clips, and then condense them into a movie.
Finding the perfect shot from so many footage and connecting it together is a lot of work in itself. It doesn't mean that you can cut and paste according to the order of the script, but also allocate the time occupied by those shots according to various situations such as mood, scene, and atmosphere.
For example, a gaze can be much worse than the length of time it expresses. A quick glance will seem more rash and distracted, but if you change to a long-term gaze, it will make the audience feel the emotion in their eyes.
One of the things that Leila often says is never to underestimate the importance of editing. Not just about her own work, but also about the young people she went to talk to.
Each of those young people is very talented and capable, and the only thing they lack is only an opportunity and some experience.
She can provide them with time for study, and she can also invest in their films, but how to create her own films, she can't point them out one by one, just tell them some of her experiences in the past two lives so that they can understand for themselves.
What can be said is that, and how much they can eat and how much they can integrate depends on their own efforts.
Regardless, editing has always been a job that Leila loves and hates. What I love is that I can take control of the editing by myself, and I don't have to put it in the hands of someone else, like most other directors, and watch others cut their work into a film that they don't even recognize.
I hate that this work is too boring, and I have to think about it almost every frame. And it's not like jigsaw puzzles, where you just put the right pieces in the right place. It doesn't mean that all the shots will be used, and they will edit the length of the shots as needed. It's a lot of brains to do.
For Leila, editing is painful and joyful. For everyone else in her company, it was just pain.
Basically, when Leila walked into the editing room, the entire company staff would subconsciously slow down as they passed by the vicinity of that room. Even though they knew how well the soundproofing of that room was, they couldn't help but do it.
Because they all know that they must not disturb her at this time, in case they interrupt her thoughts and make a film worth a billion become 100 million, then it will be a great sin.
Of course, this kind of thing is unlikely to happen, but who makes Leila more and more president now? Look at the young people who have just joined the company, few of them dare to look at her, and they will be terrified for a long time when she looks at her.
