Chapter 1031: Breaking a Billion

At that time, because of Roy's relationship, the fact that someone in the army was bribed was exposed, causing many people to fall into trouble. Among them were friends or acquaintances of these officers, so deep down they didn't have much affection for the source of all this trouble, Leila.

Although they also understand that those people have done wrong things, how can they not be full of emotion when they know one and see their pitiful end?

It is precisely because of those who were captured and repatriated that the best officers and soldiers of these countries were sent here. Because if they couldn't be trusted, Foska didn't know who to trust. If anyone was hit by Leila's affairs this time, it must be him.

If he hadn't experienced it himself, he would never have believed that there was still a bunch of moths eating in his country. So when he catches the moth, he also has the greatest force, and as long as the person who is caught by him gets the most powerful punishment, no matter who intercedes, it is useless.

"I wish she had left now. We have time here to protect a bunch of foreigners to make a movie, why don't we do what a soldier really do!" and others echoed the officer's complaints.

Foska looked at them, listening to their complaints about their three meals a day, and the dissatisfaction in his heart had long since accumulated.

"Do you think it would be better for Director Moran to go back to China directly after being rescued? You are wrong! She is in such a hurry to shoot for the sake of our country!"

"How is that possible?" the officers did not want to believe. It was clear that they had suspended their original mission to protect her, so why was it good for the country for her to stay here?

Fuska sighed: "Think about it, if she leaves our country immediately after being rescued, and doesn't even care about the unfinished movie, what will the people outside think when they find out?"

Without waiting for anyone else to answer, he continued: "I will definitely think that our country is dangerous, and even the directors who came to make the film were scared away and did not want to stay for a minute." What a terrible country that must be! Do you really think it's a good thing that our country is portrayed like this?"

“…… I don't think so, do you?" the officers tried to retort firmly, but found that they really couldn't find a reason to refute. If Leila had encountered something similar in another country, and then left that country immediately after being rescued, I'm afraid that they would also think that that country must be dangerous.

Thinking about it like this, they suddenly felt that the American director and her crew were not so annoying. After all, people have indeed experienced a bad thing, but they can still stand in their position in the country and think for them, which shows that he is a very good-hearted person. It's completely different from those arrogant businessmen from the United States.

Leila didn't know that her image was so tall in Fosca's mind, and as for whether the truth of the matter was really what he said, I am afraid only Laila herself knew.

In any case, during this week's time, the crew was protected by all parties. They are all professionals, and Leila even finds some of these people to be her own extras. In the end, the effect is much better than using civilians.

As a result, the entire shooting plan was completed a day and a half ahead of schedule.

When Leila shouted "All done", everyone jumped up and cheered for the difficult shoot.

She originally wanted to take a day off for the crew members to enjoy the country and buy some souvenirs or something. But almost everyone wants to be home early, and it's been months since they've been away from home, and it's not an exaggeration to say that they are home.

In fact, Leila herself is in the same mood. Not to mention that she doesn't feel anything when she goes back, she must go back to the next day, and she has also begun to enter the state of counting the days to go home.

The agents who had been sent to assist in the official search for her at the time of her disappearance would not return to the United States until after she left, and the others, especially the mercenaries who had been hired, did not withhold their salaries because she had been kidnapped. For the sake of Xiao Yao's face, he gave some more, after all, it was they who mixed into Martin's men to make it so easy for them to come out.

And before leaving, Leila donated a lot of things that were not needed in the crew. Tables, chairs and benches were donated to a nearby school, and some sheets, bedding and clothing were given to the village that had been destroyed by Martin's men because of them.

In the end, she also donated a sum of money to the team that Fosca had brought with her, thanking them for their help on her side.

It's all a gesture for Leila, but it's a very important gift for someone who gets help. Whether it was Foska or the school, or the people in the village, they were all sad about the departure of the crew.

Separation always brings tears, and Leila is actually quite afraid of this, so she does not attend the final separation party, and only lets Roy say goodbye to everyone on her behalf.

Then, finally, it was time to go home.

It was a sunny day, and there were not even a few clouds on the clear sky. At first glance, you will feel that your heart is much wider.

After thanking Forska for seeing him off, Leila and the others boarded Moran's special plane one by one, waving off the sadness of parting here, and fastening their seat belts to look forward to the journey home.

Leila was one of them, and she felt like she had never missed Janet and the rest of the family as much as she did now. She knew that they must have been waiting for their return, and she also knew that they had all worried about themselves some time ago. As a good daughter and granddaughter, she decided to give herself a vacation to spend with them after she went back, and then went to edit "Blood Diamond".

She thought about it, if she can't catch up with the Oscars this year, she can send them next year, so why bother to let the quality of the movie have problems in a hurry? Anyway, with the release of "The Dark Knight" this year, she can still look forward to the awards.

Coincidentally, just as Lyra set foot on American soil, the box office of "The Dark Knight" just exceeded a billion dollars. There are more than 300 million in North America and more than 600 million in other countries, which is definitely another monument of victory.

There is still a lot of time before the movie is released, and according to the speculation of relevant people on Wall Street, it is probably possible to get another three or four billion. First of all, the reputation of the movie is very good, and various film review websites have given a lot of praise, and the ratings of fans are also very high.

This is very rare in other commercial films, but when you think that it is a work directed by Leila, no matter how high the box office is, it seems that it is nothing.
