Chapter 1035: Breaking through 1.4 billion
"Thanks, boss. Demi's eyes were a little moist. "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my life wouldn't be so happy. ”
Why does she keep herself in top shape? It's because she has memories of the past that keep motivating her. When Boss Reynolds was still around, although she was doing well, with food, clothing and a lot of money to spend, she didn't have the respect that others had for her.
But it was different when Leila came over, and she asked her to repay her salary and trust with her work. The first period was the most difficult, and she had to tremble every day for fear of annoying the eldest lady and big boss. Later, she learned more and learned more about the boss, so she knew that the boss was actually very easy to get along with, and as long as she worked well for her, she could be recognized!
Just look at her now, the people in the secretary's office respect her, and the other staff downstairs also respect her. Don't look at her as just a small secretary, even the middle and senior executives in the company will smile when they see her.
Then she gained a love, and an unborn child, and she believed that her future life would be happier. And all of this was brought to her by Leila!
Leila smiled and patted her hands: "Anyone's life comes out on their own. You have worked hard and paid, so you have reaped these blessings. You deserve it!"
After chatting for a while, Demi handed over some of the backlog of documents to her.
"The documents that I brought you before were more urgent, but now these are not so urgent. ”
Leila then placed the thick stack on the coffee table, and then looked at the script on the table with some headache: "Can you tell me what that's going on?"
Demi couldn't help but chuckle when she looked at those: ""Dark Knight" has officially broken the box office of one billion, and various companies have sent scripts here, hoping that you can pick out some of them that can be filmed together." ”
Now those companies don't expect her to make movies for them, and they choose the way of cooperation. And the conditions given are very good, such as the script is written by them, the budget is set arbitrarily, they can afford it alone, the actors and crew are all in charge of Leila, they will never interfere and so on.
For any director, that is a very good condition, and it can even be said to be a super condition that can only be dreamed of. But just think about Leila's record in the movie, and you can understand that she is completely worthy of that condition.
"That's too much, isn't it?" Leila flipped through the script casually, and she really flipped to a lot of films that got good box office in her memory. But if you want to say that what makes her eyes shine, she really hasn't found it. The main thing is that she now has a good script brought by Buddy in her hand, and in front of that script, everything else seems to be a little less attractive.
"Let's put that aside for now, you know, I came back from South Africa with a nice script. When the work at hand is over, I will probably put that script on the agenda. ”
Demi nodded: "Okay, then I'll ask someone to put the script away first." ”
Layla thought for a moment, then continued, "You should pay more attention to Buddy's affairs, and then ask Louise to negotiate an agent contract with him." It's unclear whether he will write a good script next, but it's better to have people in his hands first. ”

Demi had done this many times, and she couldn't be clearer about the steps: "No problem, I'll tell Louise in a moment." ”
After Demi went out, Leila took out the new script from her bag.
She has read this script too many times, and she knows the shortcomings and highlights in it well. The script is very innovative, but it also has a lot of shortcomings. This means that the overhaul is certain, and if you want to improve it, it may take a few months or even longer, and as for the shooting, I am afraid it will be even farther.
With the work she is doing now, if she doesn't consider using "Blood Diamond" to hit the Oscars this year, she will probably be able to make the post-production by the end of the year. After publicity and release, it is estimated that there will be time in the summer file.
"Blood Diamond" is a very in-depth film, she doesn't plan to be cannon fodder in the summer, it should be okay in March and April, or October and November. At that time, there will be basically no blockbuster releases, and the obstacles they will encounter should not be too great.
She also saw the outside media's predictions for the box office of "Blood Diamond", and she agreed with them in her heart. This movie is really not something that too many people, especially young people, will want to watch. There are a lot of gray and depressing scenes in it, such as the scene of a child soldier killing an adult with a gun without changing its color, and even she will have some psychological discomfort when she shoots it.
But that's history, and if she wants to respect history, there's no reason to exclude those shots.
Just when she was revising the script and editing "Blood Diamond", the box office of "Dark Knight" also came to a very high point, 500 million in North America, 900 million in other regions, and a total of 1.4 billion US dollars in the world!
This is an incredible box office result, you must know that it is a superhero movie, although it has a solid fan base, but you can see the last Nolan's "Mystery of the Shadow" that the normal box office is about 500 million can already make the producer very happy.
But now, the box office has soared to 1.4 billion, and maybe the box office can reach 1.5 billion after harvesting some of the remaining box office.
The producers are already crazy, not only did they give Leila a big red envelope, but even Director Nolan gave one. In the hearts of the producers, Nolan is their lucky star, if he hadn't worked so hard to drag Leila to make a movie, how could they make so much money at once?
And Leila didn't lose anything, she earned not only a salary, but also a share, and she could get a lot of it after careful calculation. On top of that, she also tied Nolan to her chariot. In her opinion, that is where she makes the most money, think about the income he creates in the future, it will definitely make her company make a lot of money!
But just when countless people were praising the box office results of "Dark Knight" and praising it, some discordant voices also emerged.
She has made so many movies, and at most it is only 160 million, which is still 200 million away from the highest-grossing "Titanic". ”
"Yes, everyone is bragging about how good she is at making movies, hasn't she even broken through the box office championship?"
"She's not even thirty years old, she's still too young, and it's a little too hard for her to expect her to surpass James Cameron's achievements, right?"
