Chapter 1110: New Movie
She also found some people who she hoped they could do for her. Unfortunately, all attempts have been futile, and some have even been counterproductive. When she heard that Leila wanted to see her, her mind was now full of how to make her feel relieved and not be bothered by these trivial matters.
Upon seeing Lyra, Louise was immediately stunned by what she said.
"What, make a new movie, go and beat Avatar?" did she hear it wrong?
"Yes, is there a problem?" asked Leila, tilting her head.
Yes, of course, there are questions, there are so many questions, okay? Louise felt a layer of white sweat on her back.
"You should know how much box office it gets, right? 3 billion! That's 3 billion!" she can't deny that Leila has created many films with good reputation and high enough box office, but that film really can't compare with Cameron's. Let's not talk about the 3 billion "Avatar", and even the 1.8 billion "Titanic" no one can surpass it, okay?
Leila raised an eyebrow, "So what? Do you think I'm not as good as Director Cameron?"
Louise almost nodded at her question. She never thought she would fail to catch up with director Cameron's achievements, but not now.
She is still young, not even 30 years old! In this way, she can continue to go further in the future, and has a lot of time to create a large number of excellent works to hit the first position in box office film history, so why do you have to wait for this sensitive time now?
"Listen to me, Leila. Once you make a commercial film now, the outside world will definitely think that you are trying your best to compete with Cameron, and even if you don't mean that, the media will stir up the topic. If, I mean, you don't surpass his record, you might even crash, and then your ten years of hard work will be wasted.
Come to think of it, your previous films have never said that you want to break through the box office charts, and everyone will not care if they exceed it, at most, they will feel sorry for you when they are a little bit close. But now that the media has linked you to the box office battle, it's unlikely that you just want to wash your name, you know?"
Louise wanted her to understand something about it. She has been in this circle for twenty or thirty years, and many things have seen deeper and farther than her, so she knows that now is never a good time to fight back, especially when the opponent is still such a strong person.
"I know what you mean, and I know what you're worried about. Leila looked down and chuckled, "But I don't think you know what a movie is to me." I can accept defeat, but I can't accept admitting defeat before I fight. I admit that Cameron's film is brilliant and grips the hearts of the audience and their wallets, but I don't think I'm going to be too far behind.
Now the third place in the film history list is the third part of the Lord of the Rings, at that time I didn't think about hitting the rankings, if I had operated a little bit of small means, it was not impossible to compete with "Titanic". ”
In fact, when it comes to this, Leila also has a little regret. The Lord of the Rings in the previous life was not as high at the box office as her version. She thought it would be about seven or eight hundred million, but it turned out to be only 300 million. As she said, if it's only 300 million, she can squeeze out the first place on it by using a little marketing tactics in later generations, or simply buying some box office by herself.
But at that time, she didn't expect it to be so little, and the so-called small means were probably a bit shady, and she didn't want to stain her work for some box office.
Now that I think about it, if she really did anything for the box office at that time, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so many things now. Even if she only stays on the list for one day and is squeezed out of "Avatar", there will be no such aggrieved situation.
Now that we've come to this point, there's no point in regretting it. The most important thing at the moment is to start preparing for a new movie.
"Louise, I've thought about it, I can't forgive myself if I don't fight for it once. ”
Looking at those astonishingly bright eyes, Louise knew that she had made up her mind, and it was not a few words of her own that could change her mind. Now, apart from believing in her, supporting her, and helping her handle everything, she doesn't know what to do.
"Leila, do what you want. She finally wanted to open it.
In retrospect, the years she's worked with Leila are worth ten or more Reynolds accomplishments. It can be said that even if the next movie really makes the company fall, she can smile and say that she is satisfied.
And she could see that she wasn't talking casually, with her character, if there wasn't enough possibility, she would definitely not make such a decision that might make the company and her personally doomed, so what else did she say?
What Leila needed was her support, and when she finally relented, she suddenly smiled, "Thank you, Louise, you'll never know how important your support is to me." ”
Louise smiled bitterly: "I can only help you with a little chore, and you are still needed to come to the really important things." In the same way, the pressure that is coming will put you on a lot, and I hope you can understand that. ”
"I understand. I don't regret that decision since I made it. Leila looked at her steadily, and then threw out a plan of her own: "I need you to help gather the actors first, and if the schedule is not good, I will squeeze them out, just tell them that this is the first film in film history, and I think they will know what choice to make." ”
She is not worried about those actors who have cooperated with her own company, mainly those actors from other agencies still need some coordination. Fortunately, she has the agency contracts of the main actors in her hands, and even if there is a real schedule conflict, they will help her boss.
In fact, she thought about it a lot, not to mention that many of them were signed actors from her company, even if those of other companies heard that her crew needed people, they would definitely nod and agree without thinking about it. They don't care about how noisy the outside world is, and there won't be many people in Hollywood who are affected by those nonsense.
Leila is such a great director, and her movies are also good films that can be popular all over the world. Turning off other contracts for her films is a good deal to think about.
Louise took the file and opened it, and immediately gasped, because the top line was written about the project "The Avengers", which the company had been preparing for a long time but had not started for various reasons (mainly because her boss could not spare time).
