Chapter 525: Choosing a Schedule
After the holidays, it was 2004. Lyra also got busy when she returned to the crew.
According to her plan, all the footage of "Harry Potter" was filmed in February and went into post-production. In terms of special effects, she is not worried, she can contract some of the special effects companies that she has just established, and the rest will be handed over to the special effects companies that she used to work with happily to produce.
Next, she will prepare for "Iron Man" while starting the filming of "Chicago". Fortunately, "Chicago" is a partnership, and she just needs to go to shoot and don't have to worry too much about other places.
As for Iron Man, it's good to take her time, she doesn't need to be in a hurry, anyway, it will be released in the summer of next year.
When discussing the schedule, Louise had asked her for advice.
"If it is placed in this year's summer file, it may be a bit rushed. If it is put into next year, will it affect the box office of Iron Man?" "Put two blockbusters together, if it causes an impact, it will be worth the loss.
This is indeed a problem, if it is some ordinary summer blockbuster, Leila doesn't think it can make any difference if she puts one movie a month. But she knows that both "Iron Man" and "Harry Potter" are out-and-out box office bombs, and if they are put too tightly, they may indeed cause the box office to affect each other.
Leila thought for a moment, "Do you know when Catwoman will be released?"
Louise silently lit a candle for the person who offended the boss, this is the rhythm of going to the death!
"As far as I know, they are interested in June or July of this year, but the specifics have not been decided. ”
Hasn't decided yet?Layla raised an eyebrow in disbelief: "This is to see our plans." ”
"I'm afraid so. I think that Joseph might want to use Catwoman to fight our Harry Potter. "If you don't die, you won't die," Louise had seen the results and silently wiped a handful of sympathetic tears for them.
"Whether he thinks so or not, we'll make him think that way!" Leila's fingers habitually tapped on the table, "When you have time, you can go find someone to stir up the relationship between us, and it is best to make him angry." ”
Angry people are most likely to do wrong things, and Louise has been in Hollywood for so long, and she has seen too many similar things.
For example, those celebrities who beat the paparazzi, which one of them didn't make a move when they were very angry? The result was that the way they hit people was faithfully recorded, and then they had to pay a large amount of compensation and accusations from many fans and the media. Look at the paparazzi who were beaten by them, while counting the banknotes earned, holding the compensation, happily changing cars and buying houses.
Louise nodded, "I know what to do." ”
"How's his temper?"
"As far as I know about him, he should be an ambitious but sometimes very cautious person, and he is a more contradictory person. He has some ability, and people like him who have some ability are usually more proud. If you wish, I can make him pay some price for his pride this time. ”
Louise is the kind of good old man, and even she said such murderous words, which shows how much she hated Joseph's change of camp.
It's no wonder that anyone who has such a thing will feel disgusted to death.
Leila looked at her with a smile, "Louise, if you keep doing this, our company will grow faster." ”
Louise, who was ridiculed, could only shake her head and smile bitterly. She knows her own business, it's okay to be a nanny for the company, but it's too much for her to be the pioneer of the company to charge into battle. Otherwise, the former immortal bird would not have become that crumbling after Reynolds' death.
Leila flipped through the desk calendar on the table: "Pick a date at the end of June for Harry Potter to be released." Find a way to get the news out there and find out the situation first. ”
"Good!" Louise readily agreed.
She has been in Hollywood for so many years, and her connections and channels are not comparable to ordinary people. is also because she has a relatively kind personality and has a good relationship with all aspects, which really allowed her to spread the news of the release schedule of "Harry Potter" to Joseph's ears through a secret line.
"Mr. Faisal, I hope to put Catwoman on the end of June!" he immediately ran to the office after getting the news.
Faisal looked at him with ten fingers crossed: "I need a reason. ”
Joseph hesitated, he didn't know whether to tell the truth or not. He had heard that the first movie invested by this Saudi tycoon was because it was released at the same time as Leila and lost all his money. Of course, the result that will be achieved is completely that the movie is too bad. A famous screenwriter, a famous director, plenty of money, and then filmed a bunch of garbage.
If it were him, he wouldn't have done that, but he didn't know if his boss would lose confidence because of what had happened.
But if you don't say it now, when the boss sees the collision with the other party's schedule, will he think that he deliberately didn't tell him? Although he did it on purpose, if this local tyrant boss did something to him in anger, I was afraid that he would really get into trouble. You must know that he is a businessman from Saudi Arabia, and he is very close to that terrifying demon king!
"That's right, I got the news that Moran's Harry Potter will be released at the end of June, and I hope to use my film to show her what a real film is!"
Faisal didn't say "good" or "bad" directly, but looked at him unmoved: "What kind of director does that Leila Moran think he is?"
Joseph choked: "He is a very powerful director." "Since its debut, it has never been a defeat, and each movie can get at least more than 300 million at the box office, and the highest box office is even as high as 500 million. Even if he doesn't want to admit it, he still has to say that the little girl is more ...... than him Luck!
That's right! She's just a little more lucky than him! If he is given plenty of money, a good crew, and the best script, he can definitely surpass her achievements!
And now, all the conditions have been met, and he has indeed made a movie that satisfies him. What else does he need to fear of her now?
"I'll admit, she's really better than the average director. But Mr. Faisal, I don't think I'm anything like her. Take a look at my previous films, which did well at the box office when they weren't well funded. Now you've invested a lot of money in the movie, and there's a really great story, and I've got Harry Berry in Catwoman. We stand at the most advantageous peak, and we have every strength to crush a children's movie!"
He spoke in a very coherent manner and sounded very convincing, and Faisal pondered his words very seriously.
