"I still don't understand why." Roy sat down opposite her and said shamelessly: "You have to give me a reason that I can understand!"
Laila smiled: "You first give me a reason why I must explain to you as a boss."
"You!" Roy choked. This woman! "You don't have to threaten me with the fact that you are the boss. You really won't be able to get a boyfriend like this, you know?"
Laila leaned back and leaned comfortably into the leather chair back: "You don't need to know if I will have a boyfriend. You just need to remember that I am your boss, ok?"
Roy rolled his eyes: "Come on, don't you look like a boss? You pretend not to hear you being scolded like that."
"You mean Cooper?"
"Is there anyone else?" Roy snorted contemptuously. After reading so many reports, he could recite a lot of all kinds of criticisms against her. If someone dared to spray him like this, he would refute them to vomit blood.
"Usually, you don't give up at all. When you change to that person, you will become a turtle."
Laila smiled: "You don't understand."
"I don't understand?. Then make me understand!" Roy patted the table and wanted to say something, and suddenly realized that he had been taken crooked again. "No! I'm too lazy to care about the problem between you and Cooper. Just tell me why I am the only one banned from the show!"
Laila raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, seeing the seriousness in his eyes, knowing that if she didn't give an answer that would soothe him, she might have to deal with his savagery the next time.
"Well, I will tell you, but you have to promise me that you can't tell a third person what you and I have said today. Can you do it?"
Roy looked at her suspiciously: "So serious?"
"Yes, it's serious." Laila nodded solemnly.
"Well, I promise you." Roy still agreed. He wasn't talkative. Even if she didn't tell him, he wouldn't say anything between them indiscriminately.
Laila thought for a moment: "Where should I tell you? Let's put it this way. I hope your presence can have the greatest impact. The photos you took for Burberry have already made you famous in many countries. After the movie is released, someone will definitely recognize you as the model. As long as we help in the future, your fame will rise in a short time. If you accept an interview before the movie, there will be no freshness."
Roy was puzzled: "Why? Won't I be known now that I am not known?"
"Of course, it's not the same." Laila replied very calmly: "Now that you expose yourself, you will exhaust other people's curiosity about you before the movie is released. You can wait for the movie to be exposed before you are released. Your reputation and the movie itself will cause turmoil when combined, and the result of the explosion will also be the effect of 112, understand?"
She is so blunt. What else does Roy do not understand? He knows what it means to "maximize impact". It turns out that she has already calculated his availability to this point…
"You are terrible!" He doubted that if he could be divided into two halves for her to use, she could also use him as four parts.
"Get out if you know, I still have something to do." Laila waved at him like a fly.
Roy was angry when she saw her treating him like this: "Do you know who you are waving to? It won't be long before I am a star! You are sure to push a potential stock like me to another brokerage company."
Laila looked up at him: "Do you want to change jobs?"
Of course not! Roy is not stupid. He understands that where he will go in the future will depend on her ability. If he changes to another company, they will not use a newcomer with no education and experience. Under her, he can easily mix into the movie's protagonist, and it thanks to God for other companies to incorporate a minor role.
But he knew that, when she asked him so, he had to insist on it for a while.
"That may be true! I will be famous soon, not only can you see my talent, but I think other brokerage companies must also be able to see it. So you better be gentle with me. You may not know when I quit?"
Laila looked at him, looked at him… and then yawned…
"Is that what you are going to say? Okay, I see. Go ahead."
What an indifferent tone! Roy almost died of anger.
"I will make a lot of money for you in the future, so do you treat your future cash cow like this?"
Laila looked at him in surprise, as if she had never seen him: "Will you have more money than me?"
"…" Roy was speechless when asked. He knows how rich Laila is, and in his opinion, he can't beat her even if he plays movies all his life.
Hollywood at this time is not a posterity. In a few years, there will be $20 million clubs in Hollywood, which is the standard for top first-tier stars. You can't even get $20 million, so I am ashamed to say that you are a first-line star.
Later, $20 million was no longer enough, and it became the payment method for 2020. The first 20 refers to the 20 million remunerations, and the latter is the 20% box office share.
In Laila's era, the actors' pay was more reasonable, which was a split box office share with an agreed down payment. For example, at a box office of 1 billion, you get a few percent, and then you can get a few percent for every few hundred million.
Therefore, it is expected that future actors can get tens of millions of dollars in salary at every turn. The one who she remembered is Johnny Depp, the Pirates of the Caribbean made him famous in the world, and the fourth film has a high salary of $56 million, the fifth part is even rumored to have reached $100 million, which will set the record for the highest salary in film history.
[TL: I don't know how true it is, too lazy to check.]
Many people think of Pirates of the Caribbean, think of him. In many people's hearts, only he can give the captain of the "personality" a vivid soul.
But Laila didn't think so. She felt that no one was irreplaceable. If the Pirates of the Caribbean had chosen someone else… select someone else?
Suddenly, she subconsciously sat upright like an electric shock and at Roy with a strange look.
"What are you doing?" Roy shuddered, and she saw goosebumps popping up. Her ice-blue eyes sometimes look very clear, but more often, they give people a feeling of indifference and calmness, with a sharp sense of oppression.
"You can add another fencing training." Laila did not answer him but directly stated her request.
Roy's face turned black: "Add it? Do you think I can sleep for a few hours a day?"
"Not just fencing, but also other related things." Laila calculated in her heart physical training, shaping, boxing, and martial arts, if possible, let him learn martial arts, which will be very helpful for acting in action movies in the future.
With a loud "bang", the office door was slammed from the outside, and Roy…has run out of sight. [TL: 😂🤣😂]
