Chapter 894: Andrew
"I'll take it back and take a good look at it. Leonardo subconsciously hugged the script tightly, as if he were holding the most precious treasure. Regardless of whether the script has been changed well or not, just by looking at the hard work she has put in, you can see that it has been taken seriously. There is nothing more satisfying than having something you think is precious to be cherished by someone else.
When he got the script, the first thing he felt when he read it for the first time was that it should bring him one step closer to the little golden man. And when he read it a few more times, he began to notice what was behind the script. Diamonds, blood, profit, exploitation, antagonism, human nature......
The conflicts, and the darkness brought about by such a beautiful thing as diamonds, give this story a lot of depth. He wondered how people would feel if they knew that the diamond, which represented true love in their hearts, had such a terrible history.
He never thought about it until he received the script. In the past, he gave out a lot of diamonds himself, and every time he was able to make the female companion who received the gift very happy.
But now, when faced with diamonds, he can no longer look at them with his original eyes. There is no way to see the purity and carats of the diamond at first glance as before, but I can't help but wonder what it has experienced before its eyes, whether it has been covered in blood on these dazzling rays of light?
He wants to know, even he has become like this, so what kind of mood will the audience have when they see the movie come out?
Of course, Oscar's little gold man he still wants, he can't be too far behind his friends, right? It's a pity that he is older than Roy, and he doesn't want to break the record of that age in this life.
"Leila. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask: "How much do you think we can get the Oscar when this script is filmed?"
Leila had known his obsession with the little golden figure since his previous life, so how could she not understand what he really wanted to ask?
After thinking about it, she still gave him an answer: "It's difficult." ”
"Why?" asked Leonardo eagerly. "I think it's a good script. ”
"The script is good, but do you want the Oscar for the script?" Leila smiled slightly: "You want the award for the actor, but your acting skills ...... I'm sorry, but from the characters you've played in your previous films, I think you're missing something. ”
In the professional terms of Dongfang Xiuxian, he is stuck in a bottleneck and needs to break through to go to the next level. She wasn't sure if she could train him well under her own tutelage, after all, whether or not he could get a breakthrough revelation from her words had something to do with his own understanding. There is an old saying, isn't it that the master leads the door to practice in an individual?
Leonardo was very unwilling to judge her: "What the hell am I not good at?
Leila stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you." But I hope you can remember that it's best not to keep the award in mind when you make a movie with me. The people who follow me must fully cooperate with my pace, and if anyone can't keep up, they will only be thrown off by me. ”
Looking at his complicated expression, her mood became happy: "Congratulations, you have found the best director for your film." After a pause, she shrugged again: "Probably the strictest director, look forward to that."

Let's get a good day sooner. ”
Leonardo shuddered, his scalp tingling from her laughter. He thinks that her "strictest" may be exaggerated, but he was a man who "survived" with the famous tyrant on the set, director Major, can he still be afraid of her "strictness"?
It wasn't until the movie actually started filming that he realized that Leila wasn't joking with him, but gave him a friendly reminder to prepare in advance. As for the "strictest", he only then understood how modest she was.
Sending off Leonardo, who was a little in a trance, Leila moved her gaze to the calendar.
She had a lot of to-do lists on the calendar pages of her desk, and although they were also densely packed, she really felt more comfortable sitting in this position than staying in the tall building of Moran Group headquarters.
Children raised by themselves are different from children raised by others after all. Even if you haven't been here for a few months, as soon as you sit in your chair, you can still feel as if you are connected by blood. At the headquarters in New York, that chair is more of a responsibility.
Sure enough, it's still the best place for herself! This is the place where Leila has experienced the most after being away for a few months.
Leonardo leaves the Dragon Soul Company and goes straight to the script writer's house early the next morning.
Speaking of blood diamonds, its author is actually American journalist Greg Campbell, formerly known as "Blood Diamonds: Tracing the Path to Death of the World's Most Expensive Gemstone". Later, the story was taken by the famous director Martin, so he found someone to adapt it into a script. It's a pity that something happened later, and every time the filming ended in vain.
The script writer is the one who is authorized to adapt the script, and when Leila sees that he writes it well, she prepares to let him continue to work on the revisions. Of course, she can write it herself, and with her knowledge of the film, she has no problem wanting to write it.
But firstly, she has given enough fine advice, and secondly, she does not want to snatch their scripts from other people's hands. Anyway, the other party's ability is not bad, and there are some deficiencies for him to modify.
Andrew is Martin's favorite script writer, and it can be seen that his strength is still good in the eyes of director Martin. When he took over the job, he was very excited, and it was a relatively in-depth work, and Martin was the best director at the Oscar, and he also invited Leonardo to star, and he could guess with his knees how influential it would be when it was made into a movie.
He had written several scripts before, but unfortunately they were all delayed for various reasons, so that he, a writer who had already sold several scripts, did not even see a single finished movie.
Without a finished product, there is no way to test his writing ability with the market, and Martin can give him the adaptation work, partly because of his talent, and partly because of the idea of helping him. He thinks very simply, it's hard to say whether others can make it, how can the movie he wants to make not be made?
A director with the best Oscars, as long as he says that he has a movie to make, he guarantees that many investors and film production companies are willing to cooperate with him.
However, I don't know if it was a joke from heaven or a mistake by the goddess of fate, Andrew's script this time was once again pulled into the abyss by his poor luck. Director Martin's initial choice of collaborators somehow suddenly couldn't get those investments, and their company's last film lost a lot, so they couldn't get enough investment money anymore.
