In the hustle and bustle, October is soon. The warm-up of the "saw" has officially started!
In fact, the film's publicity has been quietly kicked off before this, especially when Laila and Cooper made a bet of 100 million at the box office. The loss of people kissed the ass of the donkey in front of the people of the whole country. Many people who were not interested in the film initially also know that a movie is about to be released on Halloween.
Fans of "The Blaire Witch" became supporters of Laila. They could contribute more than 300 million US dollars to the box office at the beginning. Now no one doubts that they can continue to create unpredictable energy.
But the premise is that the new movie must be exciting enough, and it is not realistic to want to get loyal fans for just one movie. According to Laila's expectation, waiting for the "Saw" and "Final Destination" series to be created, it is estimated that a group of true loyal fans can be cultivated.
The warm-up of the "saw" includes the release of more details and pictures on the official website. Several major actors began to accept interviews from the media. They talked about things that could be said without revealing the plot, including stuff about Laila and what happened during the filming and crew. Interesting facts.
The audience is very interested in "saw". They knew about this work a few months ago. Some people say it is good, and some people say it is not good. They want to know whether the movie is good or bad. Can it reach 100 million box office. Is it another magical miracle to become a 19-year-old genius director or a tragic Battle of Waterloo? These are all things the audience desperately wants to know.
But Laila is even more low-key than other low-key directors. Except for occasional interviews with "Entertainer", even gossip tabloids rarely show her. This has left many people interested in her and want to know more about her helpless, so they can only look for news about her everywhere.
As a result, the actors who were arranged to be interviewed from all walks of life encountered the most problems other than how the director discovered them, but also the various questions about the young director. What is her preference, does she have a boyfriend or girlfriend, what her usual leisure activities are, and whether she is fierce when making movies… and so on? All the actors were dumbfounded. Should we interview them or interview the director?
It was also the first time they knew that there was still such a high level of interest in the director outside.
"Miss Moran, there are two very influential talk shows I hope you can participate in." After Demi arrived at the company early in the morning, she reported to her as usual. "In addition, there are some magazines that want to interview you. These include three entertainment magazines and two fashion magazines."
Laila replied without raising her head: "Take them all away, saying that I don't have time."
"Okay," Demi screamed that it was a pity while making notes on the notepad. That's a talk show with tens of millions of viewers in each episode. If you can participate, she would be willing to pay for it! But my boss refuses every time she thinks about it.
"Does the fashion magazine also decline?" She was sure again. The interview bosses in the entertainment industry have hardly participated in the interview, and it is not surprising that they were rejected. But what about fashion magazines? Why do other foreign fashion magazines want to interview the boss?
For people who are not in the fashion industry, it isn't easy to understand Laila's reputation in that circle. Even a young beauty like Demi, who is very interested in fashion, does not know what a witch photographer with magic can create.
Those who will find the Phoenix company invites are those who lack the means. Those who are really powerful and well-informed have already communicated with Janet. Who didn't know that Burberry was lucky enough to meet Janet by chance. Laila helped them take those promotional photos.
"Put it all off. I don't have time to deal with those things now." Laila continued to bury her head and write on the table.
Didn't you have time before and didn't deal with it? Demi smiled bitterly and still swiped the invitations off the notepad as she said.
It seemed that the work at hand had come to an end. Laila raised her head and asked, "What's the matter with Cooper recently? I haven't heard from him for a long time." Usually, someone will report to her whenever there is any movement there. Why hasn't there been any movement recently?
This is not good. She still needs him to "help" hers to continue the hot topic.
Demi thought for a while: "I haven't received any news from there recently. Do you need me to investigate?"
Laila nodded: "Go and investigate. I want to know what he has been doing recently and what he plans to do in the future."
"Okay. Is there anything else I need to do?"
"No, go ahead." Laila nodded to her.
After Demi went out, she put her gaze back on the table. A piece of paper was spread on the table, and several movie categories-comedy, love, action, science fiction, etc. were written down in scribbled Chinese.
However, the first few phrases were heavily crossed out, and then a few circles were drawn on the two options of terror and crime, and a question mark was placed next to the song and dance film.
What she was thinking at the moment was the film she was going to shoot next.
After "saw" is released, she will start preparing for the next film. Calculating the company's background, shooting action movies and science fiction movies, and other special effects movies that burn money is not good. She still prefers low-cost films.
Generally speaking, there are more audiences for comedies and romance movies in low-cost movies, but Laila doesn't think she is a person with much humor. Even if she knows what comedy will be more popular in the future, she feels that she can't produce the desired effect.
Let alone romance films. It is a natural comedy material to let her shoot someone who has never been in a relationship for two lives.
After thinking about it, she finally focused on the last few items.
Horror movies are her favorite. With the accumulation of three movies, she is utterly familiar with shooting. The cost of crime films can also be compressed to a very low level. If the script is good, you can even shoot some depth that can break into the Oscars. If she wants to get that prize, the best direction is crime movies.
The last one is a musical. In fact, in the current film industry, musicals are by no means a suitable choice. It has been a long time since there hasn't been a song and dance film that can be produced on the big screen. Even if there is, it is almost a shot. Until now, no film dealer is even willing to try in this direction.
The reason why Laila will take out this genre separately is mainly because she thinks of Moulin Rouge in 2001, Chicago in 2004, and Disney's original TV movie High School Musical. The first two won many awards in the Oscars, and the latter one even shot two sequels. This shows that musicals are not without a market, but there are no good scripts.
