Chapter 629: Friendly "International Friend"
For her words, those sitting here will only think that she is being modest. Maybe what she said makes a little sense, but if you can reach the level of sweeping, if you don't have any skills, no one will believe it.
"Director Moran, are you interested in coming to the East to make movies?" Zhang Ziyi asked curiously.
Her words were also what others wanted to ask, and by the way, she was also thinking about whether she would have a chance to rub a place in it if she really meant that.
Leila thought for a moment, "I don't have that idea yet. There is a big cultural difference between the East and the West, and I don't think that my set will be too highly accepted here. This is actually just a euphemistic refusal, not to mention that she still has a very important film to shoot, and even if she really has time, she has no idea of coming here to make a movie for the time being.
The current East does not have as many theaters as in later generations, and it cannot create many box offices. What she wants is to make money, then make movies, and then make more money. Invest all this money in the East, thinking that maybe one day you can make this land that once gave birth to you develop.
Whether it is to have a better platform for her favorite movies, or for the nostalgia for her homeland in her heart, she wants to do something for the East, for the people here and the memories of her past life.
She may not be able to do much on her own, but she has money! a huge cash flow, a healthy company, and a media company with a future in her hands! Together, she can do things that no one else can do.
And she didn't spend this money indiscriminately, let alone throw it into the water, as long as she understands the development of future generations, she will know that this land in the East will become the world's largest economy in the future, and no matter how much money you invest, you will only get more benefits.
And she is doing industries that are sure to make money without losing money, such as cinemas, such as real estate, and various industries that will be built in the future. If she has the benefits of rebirth and can choose the wrong line, she will really live in vain.
"Director Moran, you have used actors from the East before, do you have similar plans in the future?"
Layla smiled and looked at the curious young actor: "Of course, I like everything in the East, whether it's the food here or the actors here. ”
Zhang Yimou was also a little curious: "I remember that Westerners are not able to recognize the faces of Orientals well, right?"
"There's an element in it. "Leila knows that for Easterners, many Westerners don't know their faces very clearly. "But it doesn't matter, as long as you have acting skills and ability, you will naturally be accepted by more audiences." Aren't those people like that, Long Chen and Bruce Lee?"
Zhang Yimou raised his glass thoughtfully and took a sip: "They all worked hard in Hollywood for a long time to fight together." It's not easy!"
He was inspired by this. In this circle, a lot of news can be reached. For example, Long Chen, because his development in Hollywood was not going well, he desperately begged to go to Leila's grandmother, and smashed everything in his hand to invite Laila to shoot "Rush Hour".
Fortunately, he succeeded, and Leila did use her incredible directing ability to make a Hollywood-style hero story into a movie that everyone loved, and also successfully helped Chen Long open up the Hollywood market.
If other directors had been invited at that time, perhaps after the film failed, Chen Long would have had to return to Asia to develop his film career.
"I heard that Director Moran, you have a new movie to shoot recently, will there be Orientals here?"
Moran saw that several young actors had been talking about this "oriental role" and knew that they would love to be part of his film. It's not impossible, anyway, there are more than 100 characters with lines in the movie, as long as you don't mind, it doesn't matter who goes in to play it. She is also happy to send some favors out, anyway, many characters in the movie need special effects makeup, and after makeup, the audience may not be able to recognize whether you are an Oriental or a Westerner.
"Maybe, I'll leave the selection of actors to the company. If you're interested, you can also check it out, Louise is a very responsible person and will not miss out on any good actors. ”
The expressions of several actors changed suddenly, and even a few who had become big names lost their minds for a moment. The main reason is that Leila's words are too impactful, and she is no longer seen by them when she is only famous in her own country these years, as if her cultivation has reached an obstacle, and she can only upgrade after breaking through that barrier.
Going to Hollywood to make a movie is an opportunity in their cultivation, and if they can get a role, the barrier that hinders upgrading will be loosened. If you're lucky, you can get a good character, then maybe it's possible to soar directly to become an immortal.
In the following time, the actors didn't seem to have changed much, but their attitude towards Leila was a little more respectful, after all, no one wants to leave a bad impression on the future boss, right?
None of the other directors here know what to expect? Who called this one of the best directors in Hollywood, and it is not to blame that this group of actors is enthusiastic about her. If you replace them, don't you also want to learn from her side and see if you can get some advanced experience?
Yao Yingxia naturally hopes that there are actors on her side who can be transported to the West, how to say that it is also a kind of cultural transportation, just like Bruce Lee and Chen Long who spread Oriental kung fu to the world. Now the oriental country is looking forward to a larger stage and development space, and cultural export is also a symbol of strength.
"We have a lot of great actors here, and it would be great to have more film exchanges in the future. ”
Leila nodded: "Yes, you can't make progress only by developing in your own territory, you must go out, send your good things outside, and then absorb the good things from the outside to yourself." ”
"Director Moran, I'm really glad to have such a friendly international friend as you come to the East. Yao Yingxia was really moved, she had seen too many Westerners with a high-minded attitude. Not only Westerners, but also people from several small surrounding countries dare to put on a superior appearance.
It is true that the East is not prosperous enough now, but that is only because it used to be asleep for too long. As long as it is given a little time to wake up, I believe that it will not be long before this awakened dragon can let the world see its majesty and greatness.
"If Westerners were like you, it would be much easier for us. I don't know what came to mind, Yao Yingxia sighed faintly.
Lyra's eyes also dimmed, and the frustrations she had encountered flashed through her mind, and she felt connected to her fate.
