Layla smiled and nodded, "That's pretty much it." It's not that no one watches art films, it's just that there aren't many people who like to watch them. And people who like to watch this kind of movie are more likely not to choose movie theaters, but to slowly savor the inherent charm of movies in a quiet home. So it's no surprise that the box office isn't high. ”

"Commercial movies are different, originally everyone chose it because it was refreshing to watch, it could stimulate the secretion of adrenaline, and let themselves experience the excitement brought by excitement. In the cinema, first-class equipment can deepen these sensations that are far from being felt at home. Why do you think audiences shouldn't go to the cinema?"

Nolan nodded thoughtfully: "So special effects are a very important place?"

"It's important, but it's not the only thing that's important. Leila stretched out and changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and continued, "The most important thing is that the quality of the movie must be passable. Director Nolan, I think you've done a great job of that. But with all due respect, I think you lack some self-confidence, and if even you don't trust your films, how can you expect others to trust them?"

Nolan lowered his head and pondered her words: "You're right, maybe I've really lost my confidence. ”

And a lot of his self-confidence was actually ruined in her hands. The works that he is satisfied with are beaten to pieces by the other party, not to mention that he is introverted in his original personality, even if he is a more confident person, he can't help but start to doubt life.

"Director Moran, do you think there is anything that needs to be improved in my film this time?" he was eager to know this, as he had just said, he thought that if the film was given to her to make it, it would have been better. So if it really gets into her hands, how will she shoot it?

Leila touched her chin and felt that he had asked a good question. In his previous life, when he was studying those successful Hollywood blockbusters, he also studied these three Batman thoroughly. She is interested in why the box office of the first and last two films is so much different, and what is it about the first film that is not loved by the audience?

After her research and analysis and the research she did on the Internet, she really found some places.

"In terms of choosing actors, I think director Nolan has done a good job. Christian is a wonderful actor, and he interprets Batman's psychological journey very thoroughly, and I can feel the transformation of his heart step by step. But I would say that I enjoy such a delicate transformation, and it doesn't mean that the audience likes it too. ”

"Psychological?" Nolan subconsciously sat up straight.

"That's right. Leila nodded: "You let Bruce Wayne grow him from a traumatized child to a hero against the dark forces in front of the audience, this passage is brilliant, very well portrayed, and people can get a good sense of that psychological development from these delicate descriptions." ”

"But it's a pity that the people who watch your movies are not psychiatrists, nor are they people who are more likely to resonate with such plots, but a group of young people who prefer comics and summer commercial movies. How many of the young people who take them as the main body will be able to calm down and watch the first half of the movie?"

"So, I'm on the wrong track?" Nolan asked, thoughtfully.

"So to speak. In Hollywood, movies are our products. How to make products more popular with buyers is the most important thing we need to do. Maybe you have something you want to shoot, but how to make the audience understand your mind and accept it, that's something you need to think about. ”

Leila was actually using herself as an example. She also has her own movies she wants to make, but she is very sensible and knows that it is impossible to reach the sky in one step. In her previous life, she wanted money or not, she had no connections, and she could only mix in the TV circle all the time. At that time, even if she gave her a bad subject, she would agree.

In this life, she has obtained many favorable conditions, but because of this, she has no way to directly make the movie she wants to make. Because she doesn't want to lose, and she can't afford to lose. So what she chooses is to keep polishing her shooting skills and keep letting herself master more experiences that she couldn't learn in her previous life. When she thinks that everything is ripe, then she will come up with the script she wants to shoot.

Nolan closed his eyes and thought about his own heart.

He felt as if he had learned something from her words.

"I didn't plan to take on Batman at first, because I thought the genre would do well at the box office if I did it casually. But I needed money to shoot what I really wanted to shoot, so I took it. I was naïve to think about it now. ”

Lyra sighed with a serious expression on his face, and couldn't help but want to complain about him. His Batman series will be called the highest-grossing Batman, isn't it considered a success?

Well, although the last two have not yet been filmed, the trajectory of history is like that. To explain it in layman's terms, he is wandering at the bottleneck, and when he comprehends the laws of heaven and earth and opens up the two veins of Ren and Du, people will block and kill, and the Buddha will block and kill the Buddha and move forward.

"Director Moran, if the film you want to make is not the type that the audience will like, how will you make it?" he asked a very in-depth question.

Just like there are many authors who are very good at writing a certain genre, the reason why they keep writing this type is because it is not easy to fight and can receive manuscript fees to live. But they often have something in their hearts that they really want to write, and some of them can't help but try what they want to write, and then the result is that some people pounce, some write averagely, and some can successfully transform.

If you don't even have the courage to try, how do you know what the outcome will be?

Regarding Nolan's question, Leila can tell him very clearly: "There is never a genre that is unpopular in movies, and the audience doesn't like to watch it, just because the genre is not filmed well." It's like when I used to shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean", how many people kept shouting before I made it that the pirate film was dead, and whoever made it was unlucky. But then what happened? It turned out that I won and the audience loved it!"

Nolan's eyes lit up: "Actually, I have a genre that I really want to shoot, which is magic! But this genre has never been very popular with the public, and it is difficult to find investment with a script." ”

Leila knew what he was talking about, it was probably the "Deadly Magic" he shot between "Shadow Mystery" and "The Dark Knight". I have long heard that the appearance of this movie is completely his fulfillment of one of his wishes, but I didn't expect it to be true.
