Chapter 630: Speech

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to go down, several other people immediately changed the topic.

"I heard that Director Moran is looking for a suitable place for the movie to shoot, I don't know what kind of place I want? ”

Zhang Yimou's words made Leila's heart move. Isn't it? A few of you are great directors, and you often make movies, so you must know some good places, right?

"I'm going to make a Western fantasy story. She gave a rough idea of the plot: "I've almost decided on some other places, and now I need a place where elves live." There are many beautiful landscapes in the East, and I hope to find one in them that I am satisfied with. Also, if I can find a better place, I don't mind changing the original one. ”

"Leave this to me. Yao Yingxia took over the task without giving in. In order to make more places appear in the movie, even if she breaks her leg, she has to search for all the most suitable places for the movie.

"Thank you very much. Leila didn't refuse her kindness and smiled and thanked her.

The next day, it was time for Leila to give a lecture at the First Academy.

Originally, she didn't need to arrange the itinerary so tightly, in order to get more time to go to the filming, she arranged the schedule to solve everything in a few days as much as possible.

It was the first time in her life that she had spoken to so many people, and to be honest, she would have been too nervous to speak if it had been a few years ago. However, now Leila is no longer the original "coward", she can casually say so many touching words at the Oscars that more people can see, let alone fool such a group of hot-blooded young people.

As a director, and a fairly successful director, how can you do it if you don't even have the ability to fool people?

This time, the theme she prepared was "Ideal".

Maybe it's a subject that's been talked about badly, but she feels like she's the most qualified person to talk about it. How many people can be like her, who have been fighting for the realization of an ideal for two lifetimes to this day?

"For as long as I can remember, there has only been one ward in my world. In a packed auditorium, Leila began her speech. Of course, she will do a little "artistic processing" in this, and she can't really mix the two lives together.

"I can't remember when one of my world friends brought into my life something called 'cinema'. Through that, I learned about a magical world. There is a moving story to tell, but there are also more incredible scenes, such as a monster or a talking fish. ”

"'Ah, it turns out that movies are such magical things, and I want to use movies to create my own world in the future. When I learned how a movie was made, I had my own pursuit. ”

"I believe that many people know better than me what happened next, after all, some of them have even been forgotten by myself. Leila spread her hands helplessly, drawing chuckles from the audience.

Because she is telling the truth, the media's excavation of her can be described as pervasive. Even some of the trivial things when she was hospitalized when she was a child can be dug out of the mouths of the nurses or nurses at the time, and of course those trivial things Layla can't remember them one by one.

"I've had a lot of people ask me why I chose 'Blair the Witch' for my first film. In fact, there is a very superficial problem here, that is, I could only shoot it in my situation at that time. ”

Layla looked around and saw curious faces, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl: "Maybe you don't know that when I accepted my father's inheritance, the Immortal Bird Company, that company was about to go bankrupt. My assistant at the time, Miss Claire, after seeing the company, suggested that I sell it. ”

This is a result that many people expected. In the eyes of the media, Leila took over the film production company left by her father, and it is still a running company. Although it's a B-grade movie, it's still a movie, isn't it? In the eyes of many people, if a movie can be made, how can it be called a bad place? Who would have thought that it was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Lyla continued: "Some people may ask me, why don't you use more money to shoot, isn't the family very rich? This time I used my family's money to make a movie, and next time I will habitually think that I can still use my family's money to make a movie. In this way, the importance of cinema will be reduced, and all the energy will not be gathered to treat one's own work. ”

What she said made many people nod their heads involuntarily. She is very truthful, isn't man such a creature, once he finds a way out for himself, he will no longer cherish what is in front of him.

It's just that what they don't know is that what Leila said is not entirely true, and there are mainly her own reasons in it. But if anyone guesses her head, how many people can guess that she is actually a reborn person?

During the speech, Leila spoke a lot. About his own life, about his ideals, about his vision for the future, and his expectations for exchanges between the two countries, etc.

In the question session, she had a good understanding of the sharp questions of the students of the first university.

"Director Moran, I would like to ask, how long do you think it will take for the East to catch up with Hollywood's level of filmmaking?"

This is a tricky question, and no one can tell the exact date unless it is a god. And if you talk about it for a long time, it will cause resentment among these students. If it is said that it is less, there is a suspicion of sycophants and deliberate welcome.

Fortunately, Leila has dealt with too many more tricky reporters in Hollywood, and it is still very easy to deal with these young people who have not yet entered the big dye vat of society.

"I can't give an objective figure. What the future holds is not something that can be decided by a single statement. If what I said is useful, I would say that I hope that tomorrow the two countries will be able to cooperate on an equal footing. But that's obviously impossible. So what we have to do is not to evaluate the future, but to create it. Maybe it's because of your efforts that this time has been greatly advanced. ”

Her words were met with enthusiastic applause. is neither humble nor arrogant, and does not welcome the East just because he is in the East, such a talent will be admired by young people.

The next question didn't revolve around Leila's films, but about the media industry associated with her family.

"As the largest media company in the United States, with many media including newspapers, magazines, websites, television networks, etc., what impact do you think the Internet will have on traditional media in the next step?"
