"Alas. She sighed, it was good that she could think that way, at least not as heavily as she feared.

"You're right, the value of the S is unquestionable. But our threat is not only the four films that were released on the same day, but also the movies that were released on a large scale in the next two weeks were our biggest opponents. ”

"You say. Leila asked her to sit down on the couch next to her, and asked Demi to bring her two drinks. If she wasn't allowed to relax, she had the feeling that she was about to pass out.

Louise took two sips of Demi's coffee before continuing: "The second week of November is the release of Midnight Garden of Good and Evil. You should have heard of this one, and it has stayed on the best-selling list for five consecutive years. The director is Clint Eastwood, and I know of actors like John Cusack and Kevin Spacey. ”

Leila nodded and said that she knew that Kevin Spacey won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 96 and won many awards in later generations, and he is a very good actor.

If S wants to win 100 million box office, it is impossible to rely only on the first week, the second week and the third week are the key, if the box office is divided by other strong movies, even a classic movie may greatly shrink the box office. After all, you don't have to go to the theater to watch a movie, and you can buy or rent it home to watch CDs when they are released in the future. It's just that in that case, Lyra's bet is going to be in trouble.

"We had more trouble in the third week, when Alien 4 was released. I can't think of a place where we can overcome it. Louise smiled wryly and shook her head.

Leila took a sip of her tea, lost in thought.

Because of her relationship, she made S in advance, which was supposed to be released in a few years, and unfortunately hit a box office bomb like Alien 4.

As Louise said, if she wants to reach a box office of 100 million, she must ensure that the large-scale screenings in a few weeks have a good income, otherwise the theater chain will only give the screens allocated to her to others if they have no income. Fewer screens means that the box office will be more compressed, which is definitely not the result she wants.

Alien is a good film and a classic that will still be watched with relish even decades later. was released in 1979 and won a box office of more than 100 million at a cost of 11 million. You know, that's 100 million in 1979, not 100 million after inflation today.

An alien made the crew win the Best Visual Award at the 52nd Oscars in 1980, and also made the starring Sigourney Weaver a first-line actress in one fell swoop. Director Ridley Scott is a great director, not only filming the Alien series, but also many masterpieces, such as Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, Blade Runner, Prometheus and the controversial Celestial Dynasty.

Louise was right, there really wasn't anything she could beat compared to her own side.

The heroine Sigourney Weaver is an absolute acting school, an Oscar-level figure, and also played an important role in the later Avatar.

Alien screenwriter Joss Whedon may not have heard his name much in general, but when it comes to the cabin in the woods and the Avengers, it is estimated that not many people don't know it. That's right, those are all works written and directed by him!

With such a combination, no matter how conceited Leila is, she can't say that she will definitely be able to surpass the other party. All she could rely on was the experience of her rebirth and her grasp of the future.

But no matter how strong the opponent is, she doesn't think it's really as doomed as Louise said, and in her opinion, they are not completely hopeless.

"Louise, I think you've miscalculated one thing. Lyra, who thought through the whole thing, smiled again with a smile of "everything is under control".

Louise raised her head and looked at her stunned, "What is it?"

Layla smiled slightly: "Aliens are very powerful, and they have created good results, but that is the work of Ridley Scott. Who is Jean-Pierre Genet, the director of Alien 4?

If it's still that Ridley, maybe Leila will find it a little tricky, after all, he is a real director. But Jean-Pierre Genet, a director from France who doesn't even have a masterpiece, what is there to be afraid of?

A good director can make a bad script into a divine drama, and a random director can also make a good script into a bad movie. Being selected to replace Ridley as the director of Alien 4 certainly shows that this person does have some ability. But in terms of ability, Leila is also not lacking, and it can be said that they are on the same starting line.

As for the fan effect caused by Alien's previous work, which will bring a lot of box office, it is also a double-edged sword in Lyra's opinion. The same idea is staged again and again, and there will definitely be fans who feel tired of watching it. And some die-hard fans will be dissatisfied with the change of director, even if the French director tries hard, he will be compared with Ridley, and maybe he will be tragically provoked.

These invisible gunsmoke will undoubtedly be reflected at the box office, so Layla believes that she and Alien 4 are not without the power to fight.

And for Leila, who knows where the future is going, whether it is a movie that changes the bestseller or a sequel to a hit movie, what really makes her really care about is the shipwreck! "Titanic" that made James Cameron the king of the world!

If the film collides with her, she promises to advance or postpone the release date of her film without doing anything. Thanks to the fact that people nowadays have very little faith in Cameron and his shipwreck, the premiere will be held in Tokyo on November 1. When the shipwreck in Tokyo continues to crash into other countries and returns to North America for release, the release date of S is also wrong.

Louise looked at Leila in the same daze as she had seen her on the first day, and what she saw in her eyes was not a nineteen-year-old girl, but more like a queen looking down on all beings. This reminded her of what she was like when she was nineteen, when she was also a girl with ideals, who had already set the path of film, and knew to work hard to learn more about movies to enrich herself.

But the reality is that it wasn't until nearly a decade later that she had the opportunity to actually make her favorite movie. Reynolds and Cooper at that time, the newborn immortal birds at that time......

All kinds of memories came to her mind, and her eyes were clouded.

"Leila, I'll support you. Even if there is a cliff in front of her, she will make herself a stepping stone, even if it allows her to take a step forward, she wants to see the scenery in front of her!

Leila looked at her solemn expression and raised the teacup in her hand with a smile: "I believe that we will have a good future." "A future that no one else wants to ruin anyway!
