Laila read Cooper's comments twice and other media praises twice.
"It's really hard for him. He have to rack my brain every time to figure out how to discredit me." Laila sighed and handed the clippings back to Demi's hands.
"What? Discrimination?" Roy got out from somewhere, took the clippings in his hand, and when he opened it, he saw Cooper's comment. After seeing it, his face went dark "Who is this? His mind is stuffed with feces?" He hasn't seen the Blair Witch, but it is also "her" work. He is training idle anyway, time still find out.
An 18-year-old girl made a movie with one hundred thousand dollars, and quietly won a record 300 million dollars. If this is to be criticized and discredited, is there any reason?
"Where does this guy live?" Roy said as he rolled up his sleeves.
Laila snatched the newspaper clipping clip and patted him on the head "Why? Do you still want to hit someone? You still think that the police are not enough? Are you still thinking that my movie is not famous enough? Isn't it?"
A series of "isn't it" made Roy roll his eyes "When did I say to beat someone, or at best, to smash their glass?"
"Look at you for what you are!" Laila said to him, pushing him aside "Okay, if you don't want to eat, go find something to do by yourself. Before the film is finished, the work in the crew can't be stopped." After that, without looking at his eyes that were about to turn to the ceiling, she Went to dinner with the beautiful blonde female secretary.
300 million is a box office result that surprised Laila. She couldn't remember exactly how much the Blair witch had taken in the previous life, she just remembered that it was at least 200 million. Nowadays, it has already got 300 million before the whole line is released. If video tapes and CDs are sold in the later period, and cable radio stations are authorized to broadcast, how much revenue can the company make?
You have to know that it is not like the box office, and you will be fine when you get in. It is a golden mountain that can always generate revenue! Judging from the current box office, it can be expected that in the future, their company will at least get tens or even hundreds of millions dollars of follow-up revenue from this movie.
Thinking of the money she could get in the future, the smile on Laila's mouth did not disappear when she ate. At the same time, she was a little bit emotional. Fortunately, this is the United States, a country that cares about copyright. Change to the country where the previous life is located, and soon after the best movie is released, there will be a flood of gun versions, and even high-definition versions will soon be released.
After the meal, Laila continued to invest in the filming that made her nervous and excited.
"Roy, you did a good job. The mood gets deeper."
With the filming of the film, Layla rarely needs to mention Roy.
His talents rose like a rocket during the filming process, and the rest of the crew were surprised by his rapid progress.
"CUT! Michael, your eyes are more tangled." Laila shouted and paused and walked to Fassbender's side. "You need to make a choice, either he will die or you will die. You are very entangled, you are unwilling to kill others, and you are also very smart, hoping to save both of them by your own means. I need you to act out with struggle in your heart, OK?"
"OK! I'll try." Fassbender closed his eyes and took two deep breaths. When he opened them again, his eyes were full of contradictions and struggles.
"Yes, that's it, don't forget the current feeling. Pay attention to all departments, action!" Laila quickly included his performance on the camera as if afraid of losing his gem-like expression at this time.
She is very fortunate to be able to work with such a spiritual actor, and she wonders why he didn't have the opportunity to stand in front of the camera until so late in his previous life. No matter what kind of expression he wants, as long as he conveys the request to him, he can gain his perfect performance. Perhaps it is still lacking than later generations, but it is more than enough to star in the horror film she made at this time.
The same is true for Roy. It is hard to imagine that with his first filming experience, he can play with Fassbender, and it is not inferior.
After the makeup artist's make-up, his original slightly immature face became mature, making him look twenty-five or sixteen years old in front of the camera. He has seen too many people and things on the street, and it is not difficult for him to play a role six or seven years older than himself.
Just looking at him in the camera, who can believe that he is making a movie for the first time?
Another important role in the film is Amanda, played by Charlize. This is also the first official role she has not been a vase since the film. In the Blair witch, she played a small supporting role, just a few shots. This time Laila let her play such an important role, in fact, she also had her own intentions.
In the entire series of SAW movies, Amanda is an important presence. She survived the jigsaw game, but because of this she approached the jigsaw.
Laila knew before that Charlize's beauty would become a stumbling block in her play. Not just her, every discerning person who eats movies in Hollywood knows this. In her film career, it was not until the appearance of the devil that she abandon the label of the vase.
This time she asked her to play Amanda not only because of her serious character, but also because of her wanting to help her get rid of the label. Who said that a beautiful woman must be a vase? Not only does she want her to get rid of the humiliating vase label, but also to let her be recognized by everyone. Not only is that face beautiful, she is also a person of real strength!
This obsession is actually due to Laila herself. If she insists, she is actually quite feminist in her bones. It is not difficult to see this from the character of her previous life. Otherwise, she would not remain single in her thirties, struggling for an "ideal" that wants to be a film director until she is reborn to this age.
She likes movies and Hollywood, but she hates Hollywood sexism. It is also a top actor, and the pay of an actor is sometimes 5 to 10 times higher than that of an actress!
Is this fair?
NO!
Look at how many famous female directors in Hollywood?
At least not one of the top ten directors!
Laila knows very few female directors. There is Catherine Hardwicke, the director of "Twilight"; Nora Ephron, the director of "Night Sleep in Seattle"; and Sofia Coppola, who won the Best Young Director Award in Hollywood, etc... The most noteworthy thing is that James Cameron's ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow became the first female best director at the Oscar with a film of "The Hurt Locker". Best Picture of the 82nd Oscar. So some people say that Cameron defeated the world but lost to his ex-wife, which became a momentary joke.
but!
How much box office did the bomb disposal team win?
If you compare box office and influence, Kathryn and Cameron are one galaxy distance away.
