Chapter 483: It's Almost That Day
Because she won the best movie, she once seriously analyzed and studied. To be honest, she doesn't really think it's a good enough film to get Best Picture, and there are quite a few good films in the same period. But it still got it, mainly related to the special circumstances of the time.
Thinking of this, Leila's body shuddered violently.
The special circumstances of the 75th Oscars...... It's anti-war!
At that time, because of the relationship of 911, the United States sent troops to Afghanistan, which caused the anti-war sentiment in the United States to be very high. So much so that many people protested that the Oscars in 03 were still held at this time, and some people refused to attend the party that day. The funny thing is that all the thunder and rain are small, except for a few nominees who are absent, basically everyone who should have arrived.
When I think of anti-war, I can't help but think of 911, and when I think of 911, Leila can't help but look at the calendar, looking at the July 20th that is clearly marked on it. That day will be less than two months away, and she has left it behind because there are so many things!
The impact of 911 on the United States and the world is very great, and the blow to the financial industry is even heavier.
Seeing that her face was blue and white, Louise, who had been watching her, felt even more worried. What she regrets most now is why she didn't throw that script away where she couldn't see it. Let her make a song and dance film...... It was a terrible sight that she didn't even dare to think about it.
Just then, Roy knocked on the door from outside and walked in.
"Is something wrong?" he felt as soon as he entered the office with an unusual atmosphere.
When Louise saw him come in, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if she saw the savior coming: "Leila is reading the script, you came just in time, just stay here with her for a while, I'll go out first." With that, she hurried out of the office. If she stays any longer, she is really afraid that she will not be able to resist rushing over and snatching the script back!
Roy watched suspiciously, as she quickly disappeared outside the door, it was the first time he had seen her run in such an unsteady way in the company. Is there a ghost chasing her from behind?
He turned his head, and instead of seeing a ghost, he saw someone more terrible than a ghostβa frowning, pursed, and stern Lyra.
He couldn't help laughing, she was really scary with this expression, no wonder even Louise was scared away.
"Lyra, what are you looking at, putting on such a scary face?"
Lyra heard her name called, and she pulled back from her thoughts, "Roy, when did you come?" β
Roy walked up to her and picked up the script she had just been staring at with a serious face: "Just came." Is this what you're going to do next? Why haven't I seen you talk about it? "Chicago?"
"It's a script sent by Disney. Leila pinched her forehead: "I'm a little tempted." β
Roy disagreed: "If you like it, shoot it, what are you hesitating about?"
"It's a musical and dance film. β
"Isn't it just a song and dance movie? You can make an action movie like "Kill Bill", and you are afraid of just a song and dance movie?" Roy was stunned suddenly: "You just said ...... Song and dance films?"
Leila looked at him expressionlessly: "That's right, it's a song and dance movie." β
"Haha!" Roy laughed, leaning back and forth with laughter, and slamming the table. "What the hell are they thinking about letting you go to make a song and dance film?"
Leila frustrated reached out and pushed him away, "I also want to know what they're thinking. Have you laughed enough? Do you want to go outside and laugh before you come in?"
Seeing that she was a little annoyed, Roy tried his best to hold back his laughter, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Like "Moulin Rouge"? β
The Moulin Rouge is a revue that was just released in May this year, starring Nicole Kidman, and it has received good reviews. Leila also knows that she will win Best Actress in one fell swoop next year with this film, and has also achieved good results in other aspects, including several awards including Best Picture.
"Pretty much, I don't know much about musicals. β
Roy could see her tangle in her expression: "You don't look like you like this. The Leila I know, but she's always going to keep going. What are you hesitating about? β
"I do have some interest. "Chicago" can help her win a few Academy Awards, but unfortunately Best Director is not among them. However, she also understands her shortcomings, which is that she has never been exposed to such a type. "I'm not good at singing and dancing, so how can I shoot it?"
Roy poked her forehead in amusement: "You're thinking too much." You don't know how to do kung fu, but can you make "Kill Bill"? And "Pirates of the Caribbean", don't tell me you're a skilled pirate to make a movie. β
Leila was stunned by what he said. He's right, she's a director, and she just needs to tell the story in the script through the camera. As for singing and dancing, the actor can dance according to the dance rehearsed by a special person, and she doesn't need to dance at all!
"Roy. She looked at him and saw that he looked like "come and praise me", she couldn't help laughing, and stood up like him just now and poked him in the shoulder: "You have grown up." Actually, she wanted to poke his head more, but he was too tall for her to reach......
Grow up, what kind of compliment is that? Roy's face darkened.
"You're right, I think I've figured out a solution. Thank you!" she snapped down his neck and kissed him on the cheek. Then laugh and jump away. As a result, Roy grabbed it back and deepened the kiss in a better way.
Soon after, Disney got the news that Leila had accepted the script. The script was sent to Leila by Yolanda through the hand of her friend Louise, and she didn't have much hope at the time, but she made this move in anger after she proposed Leila and was laughed at when various aspects of the meeting were discussing the director candidate.
She remembered very well that when she said Leila's name at the meeting, the people laughed more and more happily, and some of them laughed at her, saying that if she could get Leila to take a picture of this, she would learn to bark in front of her. How could she endure this kind of contempt that she didn't even want to have? So in a fit of rage, she found her friend Louise and handed the script through her hand.
It's not entirely impulsive, in fact, she has known Leila's personality for a long time, and knows that she is a person who is relatively easy to be moved by friendships. For example, when she took over "Rush Hour", it was when the starring actor found her grandmother, and she promised Victoria's Secret that the plan was also because of her mother's favor.
That's why she wanted to try it with Louise, but she didn't expect it to be successful!
