Chapter 526: Persuasion
If he could, he would certainly like to be able to beat Leila with his own films.
He had always looked down on Faize, and if it weren't for the fact that she was the daughter of his husband, he would have let her sleep in the desert forever. But even if she is a stupid woman, she is also the daughter of her husband, whether she intervened to cause some problems and force him to make the decision to lose his daughter, and make him sad, in his opinion, it is the most unforgivable thing that Leila Moran has ever done.
Previously, he also continued to stay in Hollywood at the behest of his husband, in order to teach Leila a lesson. If this movie can really do it, he can give Mr. the best gift he can give.
But judging from the previous battles with her, it is not easy to win a game against her. If he loses again this time, he will be hurt again in unbearable ways.
"How sure are you that you can win her?" he said, thinking about the director in front of him who had been poached from Moran with his own money. To be honest, he was very disgusted with such people. Without loyalty, a little money can make him betray his company, believing that if someone comes up with more money, this person will not hesitate to turn away.
But the reason why he still gave him the position of director was that Leila had chosen him. That woman's vision is very praised throughout Hollywood, look at the actors, directors and various talents that she has discovered, almost everyone she likes will do well. Then Joseph, who was selected by her, should have gained her trust because of his ability.
It's ridiculous to say that they both want Leila to die, but they each have faith in the director and the script because of her decisions.
Joseph was excited in his heart, since the boss had asked so, there must be a point where it was negotiable.
"I'm pretty sure. First of all, our subject matter is more suitable for the summer file than the other party. They're just a kid's story, and I've seen the script, it's just a bunch of kids and a magic school or something, and how beautiful it is? It doesn't attract many adults to watch it. Even if some parents will accompany their children to watch, it will not be as popular with our younger people. ”
Faisal nodded, believing that he was not wrong.
No matter how popular a children's movie is, it is limited to the subject matter, and it is unlikely that there will be too many unexpected box office hits. Comic movies are different, look at the enduring Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, etc., even the later X-Men also scored good results. Now with his investment, they can make the special effects gorgeous, are they afraid that they will fail? First of all, the huge comic book fans can make them a lot of money.
Go on. He made a "please" gesture.
When Joseph saw that he had accepted his statement, he was relieved, and he became much more hardened when he spoke.
"Let's talk about the cast. We've got Harry Berry in the background, the most glamorous and popular actress of the day. Take a look at their actors, except for a group of children with no acting experience at all, a group of old antiques with old arms and legs. They may have had glorious times before, but they are old and no one wants to look at their old faces anymore. ”
Such words are said outside that he has to be beaten up by the fans of the old actor, and there are no outsiders here, so he has no scruples to make nonsense. As long as he can get the boss to agree to his request, even if he is allowed to reduce those people to the mud, it is only a matter of words.
"Anything else?" Faisal looked at him, and really thought about his suggestion.
The gap between the two sides is too obvious for him to ignore if he wants to. Superhero movies that are loved by countless comic book fans and children's fantasy movies that have some readers' support are all superheroes with stronger spending power who take advantage of it. Not to mention that Halle Berry is indeed loved by many fans, and in previous investigations, fans also reported great interest and support for her role as Catwoman.
And on Leila's side, no matter how talented a group of children are, what can they do if they can perform again?
If the opponent was not Leila, he would have agreed to Joseph's proposal to completely crush and defeat the opponent in the most painful and arrogant way. It's a pity that the opponent is none other than Leila, a director who has created many miracles in Hollywood with his films.
Joseph's eyes flickered, trying to find more to convince him. Although he is very confident in his ability, he can't forcefully tell others that he is better than Leila at this time, after all, compared to her, who has already represented the work, he doesn't have anything that he can get his hands on for the time being.
After thinking about it for a while, he really came up with a powerful reason: "Boss, when I joined the crew, everyone began to pay attention to the production of our two movies. If we retreat, what will others think? They don't see our prudence, they don't see our efforts, they just laugh at our timidity!"
According to his guess, the Saudi boss, who is not bad for money, will definitely want to regain the face lost due to failure on the two films that have failed before. What could make him raise his eyebrows more than a straightforward victory over the right queen? Moreover, the local tyrants suddenly came to invest in movies, in order to earn face? As long as he knows that it is a shame not to fight, I believe that for the sake of face, he will agree with his own opinion.
He was right, and Faisal was really moved. But he wasn't the impulsive person Fai Ze after all, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to think again.
At this moment, Louise and Leila's press offensive also kicked off.
News that doesn't want to reveal the purpose, they never report it in Moran's media. This time too, Louise found a lot of media outlets who wouldn't be found out through some connections, and said everything they wanted to say.
The content is actually very simple, any fan who cares about the film industry can break his fingers and say one, two, three. Probably the same as what Joseph said to Faisal, only in a tougher, more blunt, and more provocative tone.
Newspapers in the United States have a common understanding that news related to Leila gets the most attention from readers. Stories such as losing her hair and eating a slice of pizza at noon can drive newspaper sales.
Now that there is a news that can be stirred up at the door, how can they be polite, even if they don't give money, they are very happy to help stir up the troubled waters.
So "Catwoman" was squeezed out miserably, and all kinds of topics that said they were timid and afraid were put in the newspapers, saying that they didn't dare to compete with Lyla's movie in a big and bright way, saying that they were too bad to shoot it, so they didn't have confidence in themselves.
In short, if they are not released with "Harry Potter", they will be the most glorious coward in American history!
