"In my memory, what my father looked like is very vague. He looked out the window at the street scene, and said in a faint voice: "I only remember that my mother was beautiful, but she never smiled at us." Maybe you're right, beautiful people also encounter more temptations, so she leaves with the person and takes everything with her. ”

Roy slowly told the memories that had been buried in his heart as if he were telling someone else's story, including everything he did to feed his brother and himself, and the fact that his brother and he were sent to foster homes separately, and that he sneaked out of the streets to protect his brother.

"You know what? I never regret what I did. Even if they leave me with bad memories. Your life is your own, and you can't let the past continue to disturb your life. ”

Leila listened to him silently, knowing that he might have misunderstood something. If she is still the same Leila, she may have a great resistance to male and female relationships or marriages because of her parents' relationship. But she's not, she's a soul from the future, and she only has the ideal of standing at the top of the movie in her head.

For the sake of this ideal, she used up her previous life, and now that she finally has a bright path to success in this life, how can she give up so easily? No one has a second life, and she understands the preciousness of opportunities better!

But Roy was a little happy to be able to say these things to her, because it meant that she had all his trust. She won't waste this trust, and when actors and directors trust each other, the resulting movies will have great chemistry, and she has this confidence!

"Okay, let's not mention the unhappy things in the past. Leila didn't like such a stagnant atmosphere, and took the lead in diverting the topic: "Say, what is the purpose of inviting me to dinner?"

"Purpose?" Roy was stunned by the question, then glanced at her weakly. Did she find out?

Leila looked at him funny: "I don't know you yet, even if it's to hype up the scandal, you wouldn't think of taking me out to dinner, and it's in a box like this kind of paparazzi can't photograph." The reason why I chose this place is because I fancy the ** space here, right? Do you think I won't be able to guess your thoughts?"

Roy's heart skipped twice, and he coughed lightly with pretended composure: "Then what do you say I'm for?" If she says what his true purpose is, will he admit it or deny it? If he does, will it break down the rapport between the two of them? If he denies it, will there be no more chance?

In an instant, countless thoughts swirled through his mind. However, he overestimated Leila's emotional intelligence......

I saw her smile slightly: "Did you see that the newspaper news said that the box office of our movie is not as high as the one invested by Faize, so you want to unravel me?"

"......" Roy turned silently and slammed his head against the back of his chair.

He should have guessed it a long time ago, but he couldn't figure it out, she could obviously calculate everything without omission, why was she so slow in terms of feelings that people didn't even feel in the mood to complain?

"Alright. Thinking that he had been debunked to make such a move, Leila smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, it's just the first day." And you've seen the finished film, do you think we're going to fail?"

"No......" Roy didn't even have the strength to speak, staring at the ceiling with a loveless expression.

"That's right!" Leila didn't look at him, focusing on the dish that had just been delivered. I put a piece in my mouth, chewed and swallowed it a few times before continuing: "Although I haven't seen the movie that Faiz invested in, I know that they have an advantage over us in every aspect. Even I think so, what do you think fans will think? And even in terms of publicity, we don't have any advantage, after all, we don't have the courage to spend tens of millions of dollars on advertising. ”

She uses opportunistic methods to achieve the maximum effect with the minimum investment in each of her film promotions. This scandal publicity is also one of the ways, using the fame of the two of them to let the movie be known by more people.

It's a pity that the genre she shot this time is really not very likable, and it is a film genre that Hollywood has basically not succeeded. There is no way for the audience to subconsciously ignore the past when choosing a movie. But she believes that if fans are given a few days to ferment, word of mouth will spread ten, ten, and hundred, and the expected effect will soon be achieved.

"Yes, you have a point. Roy replied listlessly. "If only you could think so, I'm sure you won't fail. He didn't know what else to say.

A dinner was spent in an awkward atmosphere. Leila ate so well that she asked for a takeout call before leaving, ready to add it to her menu. As for Roy...... May God bless him.

So the next morning, the previous day's box office came out. "Kill Bill" 11.24 million, "The Thirteenth Warrior" 13.52 million!

If the day before there were only a few media outlets mentioning the battle between the two families, today most of the media have joined the discussion.

At the beginning, the crew of "The Thirteenth Warrior" stepped on Leila's side to do publicity, and they almost pointed at Leila's nose to compete with her. Many media also joined in the fun, and almost everyone knew about it.

The day of the premiere started at 8 p.m., so not many people cared about the box office on the first day. But the next day was different, it was a full screening day, and it was data that could make a prediction about the future trend of the box office.

The happiest must be the producers of "The Thirteenth Warrior", in the past, when the box office was not out, they would still worry about whether they would talk too much and make jokes at that time, after all, Leila's strength is there, and the box office of her previous movies is also there, although she said that she would be more powerful than her, and the producers were relieved to really do this, and began to happily calculate the profits that the movie could bring to themselves.

At the same time, they don't mind pulling out Laila to hype it again, anyway, there are many topics over there, and it's always right to hype her.

So early in the morning, many newspapers began to praise the Thirteen Warriors, and at the same time spared no effort to sing about Lyra.

"The Waterloo of a Genius Director", "Who is responsible for the failure behind the maverick?", "Thirteen Warriors Kill Bill, and the summer file ushers in the strongest fight in advance......

There are all kinds of headlines, and the content is roughly one - Leila failed, was trampled under the feet of the Thirteen Warriors, and will be a loser from now on.
