Chapter 1108: Half
So there were many voices hoping that Leila would simply move to the East.
Anyway, she can speak Oriental dialect, and there is no problem at all in living here, and she also has an industry here, are you afraid that she will be hungry? Maybe she will be idle and fine, and she can use more Oriental people to make a few movies that will win many awards, so that Oriental actors can stand on a bigger stage.
It wasn't just one or two who would think like this, and the movement was so loud that even the officials noticed it, so much so that at an official press conference, when it was mentioned that the trend of public opinion in China that wanted Leila to come to the East, the official spokesman replied with a happy smile that the Oriental people certainly welcome a talented and capable director to regard this place as their other home.
The words of the official spokesman are not something that can be said casually, and if he says something like that, it means that the official attitude is like that.
In fact, even without this incident, the official upper echelons had a very good impression of Leila. After all, she was most short of foreign exchange in China, and when she needed investment the most, she took out billions of dollars to invest here, and gradually increased her investment in the following years, and even brought the entire film industry to prosper.
Looking at the excellent films that have been appearing in the country in recent years, and the box office revenues that have skyrocketed every year, those alone will earn huge benefits for the country. Now that Leila is in the middle of a storm of public opinion in the United States, they certainly don't mind saying something nice about her. If she really comes to the East, it will be a good thing that she can't ask for, maybe she really has a way to bring Oriental movies to a new level by herself.
If you look at the new generation of young directors in the United States, you can see that almost half of them have come out of her emerging talent program.
It didn't take much time for these words to reach Leila's ears, and she was very happy about the support of her "former motherland", and felt that her decision to invest a few years ago was really right. Of course, she also took the opportunity to make a lot of money, but to be honest, she could have put that money in a place where it was easier to make money quickly, rather than building a business like a theater that takes a long time to pay for itself.
She did this knowing that it would benefit the country, and if she wanted to, she could actually choose another way to earn more. But if she really does that, it is not a gain for the country, but a loss, which is equivalent to she scraping off a layer of skin on the country when the country is in difficulty, just like many foreign businessmen will do, run away after making a profit, or sweatshop.
Although she was happy to hear that she was welcomed, she didn't want to really go back to her hometown. Her self-esteem wouldn't allow her to do that, and even if she wanted to, she would do it in style, not in embarrassment after being splashed with sewage.
It's not like she's doing nothing at home these days, at least in the face of the predicament in front of her, she's come up with a solution, and I'm afraid it's the only way that seems to be the only way at this time.
"Layla, what are you thinking?" Roy came up with the milk, and saw Eli crawling on the ground, while Layla was in a daze.
"I'm trying to figure out how to solve the problem. She replied
Roy's brows furrowed: "Actually, you don't have to worry about it." Once the popularity of a topic like this subsides, not many people will remember it. ”
Cold treatment is a solution, but it's not the way Leila chooses.
"That's right, when no one talks about these topics anymore, they can be forgotten by everyone. But don't forget, even if people all over the world forget, there will still be people who won't forget. And this person will awaken everyone's memory again and again. Do you think that every time I go on stage to receive an award in the future, the people below will think that I won it by unclean means, right?"
The person who pit her in the current situation will definitely always look for opportunities to continue to pit her for the same reason. If it can't be completely solved, she can only give up signing up for various awards.
Roy was speechless. Why can't she get the trophy she deserves by her own ability? Why can't she get any trophy by virtue of her own ability? Why is it that any trophy she gets will be questioned and not obtained by strength?
"The problem is that it is not easy for us to start from any aspect, and it will be interpreted as you are weak in heart, and it is Moran Media who is whitewashing you!"
"I know, so I just made a decision. Leila looked at him, as if trying to read his thoughts in his face: "What do you think of me making a film that breaks the box office record for Avatar?"
Roy's eyes widened and he looked at her in shock, "Can you do it?"
"I don't know ...... either" Lyla is telling the truth, at least when she came into this world, that is, ten or twenty years later, "Avatar" was still in the first place, and if anyone really broke it, it would probably be its sequel.
Roy looked at her tiredness distressedly: "You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, no matter what you say outside, I know that you are the greatest director in this world." The kind that has never been seen before or since!"
Leila was amused by his words: "I can admit that there is no one before, but it is difficult to say if there is no one who will come after." Then she straightened up again: "I'm not talking nonsense. Now the outside has been talking about my box office and using Cameron to press me. No matter what I do, no matter what kind of movie I make, as long as I don't beat his record at the box office for a day, then he will be a boulder hanging over my head. ”
Roy frowned, "How sure are you that you can surpass him?"
"Half. Leila gave an answer that she had thought about for a few days.
This answer surprised Roy: "So high?"
He couldn't be blamed for his surprise, because he knew very well that with Leila's modesty, she would only use half of the word when the success rate reached seventy or eighty percent. And if she says seven or eight percent, it is estimated that it can be 100% certain.
Leila didn't know what he thought of herself, but if she did, she would probably laugh and explain that she wasn't modest but cautious.
"Whether it's half or one, I'm going to fight this time. If it succeeds, all sewage will disappear. ”
Seeing that her eyes were a little gloomy, Roy knew that there was one more thing she hadn't said later, that is, she had failed, and the situation would get worse than it was now, and maybe she would never find a way to clear her name.
"Leila, you don't need to do this!" his heart ached, and only those around her knew what the movie meant for her. He even felt that between herself and the movie, she would not hesitate to choose the movie.
Is it really worth the gamble she made with her life in order to get this thing to pass?
