Chapter 377: Door-to-door Sales (1)
"Actually, there are a lot of reasons for this. There are reasons why the content of the film is not down-to-earth enough and the audience can't like it, and there are also reasons why the ticket price is too expensive, and many people are unwilling to pay so much money to watch the movie. I think the most basic reason is that there is no good movie theater, so that the audience does not feel the best viewing effect. ”
Wang Tao nodded abruptly: "So you plan to invest in some movie theaters, right?"
"That's right, I'm going to build the best cinema with state-of-the-art equipment and the most comfortable viewing experience. I hope that the audience will choose to go to the cinema because they are happy, rather than forcing them to watch the movie by lowering the ticket price or chartering the movie ticket. ”
Leila's love for movies is undeniable, and she used to be very unaccustomed to some domestic techniques. It's just that she can't get used to it, it has nothing to do with her, she was just a director who shot TV dramas at the time, and she didn't have anything to show her hands on except for a few thunder dramas, so how could she have the right to criticize domestic movies? Complaining in her heart was already all she could do.
The show was a success, and all the things that Layla wanted to say and express were expressed. In the end, the broadcast effect will only depend on the audience's reaction.
She has been appearing in major media outlets lately, and the show has received a very high rating when it was broadcast, even one point higher than the previous highest rating. This was an unexpected surprise, the TV station originally thought that interviewing Leila was a political mission, but they did not expect that the people would be so interested in her.
But when you think of her legendary half of her life, it is not surprising that there will be such a result.
After the show aired, many people agreed with her statement. The current movie theater is really so bad that there is no urge to let people go in at all. The seats are hard and dirty, and the ground is a mess every time the movie ends, making the audience in the next show feel that they are not watching a movie but coming to the garbage dump to have a big adventure!
At the same time, the sound effect is not very good, except for the loud sound, it feels like the home theater is stronger than it. A CD can be rented for only one or two yuan, and if you can watch it horizontally or vertically at home, lie on the ground, or squat on the sofa and watch it, why can't you watch it? Who would go to a movie theater that is so bad that it costs dozens of dollars to buy a ticket and suffer that crime?
Seeing a lot of discussions on the Internet, and many people posted their unhappiness in the cinema, which made Leila more confident in the construction of the cinema. It's not that domestic fans are reluctant to pay for it, but they have to make them feel that it's worth it. Why did the box office skyrocket year after year? The improvement of the movie-watching experience is one of the very important reasons.
During her stay in the capital, Leila received many other invitations. Some of them are colleges and universities that want her to give a talk about her legendary life and some philosophies that can help them.
These were basically rejected by her. She knows her own business, it's okay to ask her to make a movie, and asking her to give a speech is no different from asking her to die. She didn't think she could speak fluently in front of so many people.
The rest are program invitations from some TV stations. The ratings brought by Leila's program recorded on national television made the local station red-eyed, which made them attracted like cats that smelled fish.
Leila thought about it for a while, but finally didn't give a letter, only said to think about it first. She can't remember what programs have high ratings at this time and what programs are the most popular, and she still needs to check them on the Internet to determine. lest you run into some programs that are popular in later generations and are still garbage shows.
But a special request for an appointment was agreed to by her, and it was Li An, the director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", who hoped to meet.
For this director, Leila is sincerely respectful. He is the only Chinese director to win the Oscar, and he is also the most accomplished one in Hollywood in later generations. His "Brokeback Mountain", his "Life of Pi's Fantastic Journey" have many achievements.
Although he has also made films like "Hulk" that have lost money, it can be seen from the fact that he can still get a director's contract from a Hollywood production company, and his ability is still recognized.
So this person she wants to meet, not only to meet, but also to meet happily.
In the afternoon of the same day, Li An came to the hotel where Leila was temporarily staying, and Zhang Ziyi came with him.
"Director Li An, hello. Lyla smiled as she ushered them into the suite's living room. "I was taken aback to receive your call. ”
Li An smiled a little reservedly: "Hello, Director Moran." I took the liberty of coming. ”
"No, no. I'm so honored to meet you, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is an excellent film. Laila asked people to bring refreshments, and glanced at Zhang Ziyi by the way: "Miss Zhang Ziyi's performance is also very good." ”
"Thank you. In comparison, Zhang Ziyi looked more nervous. After all, the person in front of him is a well-known Hollywood director, and he also has his own film company. If she does something that makes the other party feel unpleasant, maybe her future path in Hollywood will be cut off.
Leila originally thought that they wanted to see her, but as the conversation progressed, judging from Li An's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, she realized that it might not be as simple as she thought.
After chatting a few words, seeing that Li An's expression was getting more and more anxious, Leila finally couldn't help but make things clear for him. She was really worried that if she continued to pretend to be stupid, would she make the other party anxious about something.
"Is there anything you need me to do when you come here this time?"
"It's nothing ......" Li An was stunned by the question, and intuitively denied it, but soon smiled bitterly again. I obviously came with that question, but I was embarrassed to speak like someone I just met, and now that everyone has raised it themselves, what else does he have to hide?
"Actually, I do have a question for you. ”
"Of course, if I knew, I would know everything. Leila chuckled, relieved. Seeing that the person she was talking to had something to say but kept struggling, she was also very uncomfortable.
Li An coughed lightly before saying, "I saw on the national TV program that you said that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also has a good box office in the United States?"
"That's right. Leila nodded. "It's not flattery, I felt that way after watching the movie. I think my vision should still be good, at least the movies produced by my company have never lost money.
