Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 1075 Want a screen

Lila shrugged. "You wouldn't be asking if you could see those special effects shots. Avatar was about more than story and special effects. It created a world, a living alien world, a world different from The ecosystem of the planet. You can look up the trailer they released and you'll see why I said that."

A film like "Avatar" will release a trailer when it is not fully produced.Then, a version is released every once in a while, to keep the audience's appetites alive, so as not to be forgotten by them when it is released.

"What about Downey's movie?" Roy worried for Downey.

"Don't worry too much." Laila said with a smile, ""Avatar" and Downey's "Sherlock Holmes" are not in the same genre. There will definitely be an impact on the box office, but it won't be too much. And they also It wasn't released at the same time, and it was a week apart."

Roy smiled wryly.If it's a Titanic-caliber movie, the one-week gap really doesn't help.I hope it can be like what she said, the audience is somewhat different, and the impact will not be too great.

To their surprise, not long after Downey left, Cameron called and said he was coming to visit.And he not only visited the door in person, but also brought a few people who were said to be the issuer.

"Laila, I'm here to ask you for a screen!" Cameron explained the purpose of his visit as soon as he entered the door.

Laila was a little dazed: "What screen do you want from me?"

"What other screen? You have been hiding it from me hard enough!" Cameron Barabara told the story again.

It wasn't until he had finished that Lyra knew what he meant.

It turned out that what he was talking about was the one she set up in the East, which had already occupied the super theaters in all major, medium and small cities.

"Do you still need to come to me personally for this matter? I think even if I don't say anything, with your reputation as a great director, you won't give too little for the filming, right?" If you really give too little, Laila will definitely find The filmmaker's troubles.You don't even give shows to movies that make money, so why give it to those street-smart ones?

"Don't tell me that! I'm talking about your IMAX giant screens!" Director Cameron pointed to a middle-aged man with an embarrassed expression behind him: "He told me, you built a lot of things over there. In the IMAX hall, there aren’t many movies to use anyway, so just give them to me.”

Laila smiled wryly: "Director Cameron, I know what you're talking about. The problem is that those new halls haven't started operation yet, so I can't give them to you even if I want to!"

Speaking of IMAX, it is still relatively rare in the world.But because of her appearance and the future situation she has mastered, I know that after "Avatar", IMAX will become the new technology that film companies and investors are most concerned about.

So last year, she began to arrange the theaters in the East, introducing a large number of IMAX giant screens for them.At this point in time, there are too few IMAX-type films, and only some popular science films can be played.

Fewer film sources means no money to be made, so few people deliberately spend such a large sum of money to build any IMAX hall.It's not that Lila didn't hear objections when she asked for the arrangement below, but she is the boss, so she can completely ignore those objections and do what she wants.

It's not that she doesn't listen to other people's opinions, but that she has shelved those kind reminders when she can know the future development.

What she originally wanted was to make a fortune from the East of "Avatar". Everyone knew that there was a lot of difference between 3D and IMAX movie tickets.There is no way that the equipment is expensive, but the feeling of watching movies is really different.

Even if Cameron doesn't come to see Lila today, she will urge the East side to build the new hall before the movie is released.If you miss the Dongfeng this time, it will be very difficult to make such a big profit when other theaters follow suit.

What she didn't expect was that Cameron also knew about it, and even came to ask for it in person.Give!Of course it must be given!It won't work if you don't give it up!
Of course, words cannot be said that way.

"You guys know it very well." Laila smiled wryly, "I will urge the construction there as soon as possible. As for whether it will be able to catch up with the release of "Avatar", I can't guarantee it."

Cameron didn't believe her words: "I know your vision. I knew it when you were able to film the heart of the ocean in my movie. If it were changed to now, I promise I would be reluctant to give that heart of the ocean away. Don't deny it, I dare say that the construction of your IMAX hall is related to my "Avatar"!"

He said it very directly, and Laila laughed: "Yes, I have great confidence in "Avatar" and think it will create a new box office miracle. The construction of the IMAX hall is indeed related to the movie, but the card Director Mellon, the future will be dominated by IMAX, so I should have prepared earlier."

Cameron smiled until his eyes were narrowed: "I just said you have a good eye."

He also has the same idea, and he is very optimistic about the future of IMAX, so he made "Avatar" into the current three versions.Even after she said that, his confidence became stronger.

But how can this man have no confidence when he can say that he is the king of the world at the Oscars?

"Anyway, let's talk about it first. When my movie is released, you have to prepare the hall for me! As much as you can open, I promise you will not suffer!" He almost patted his chest to make a promise.

If someone else said that to her, Laila would have to think about it, but he wouldn't hesitate: "I'll do my best."

"Don't talk about doing your best, just give it to me!" Cameron took the package in a chic manner, but the people behind him were all secretly wiping their foreheads.

In this world, at this point in time, if you want to say that the two people who have the most confidence in the movie, I am afraid that there are only two people, Director Cameron and Laila.To have one more IMAX hall means more expenses, and these people are actually not too optimistic about the benefits that the IMAX version can bring.

why?It is because it is too expensive.

Twice as expensive as 3D!

You can watch 3D for twice the price, how many people are willing to pay that much more to watch IMAX?
Similarly, they also thought it was a stupid thing for Leila to build so many IMAX theaters in the east. There are not many IMAX theaters in the world, including the United States. There are so many bicycles in the big country, and almost every city has at least one hall.

There is no need to ask how much you need to invest in it. The important thing is can the Orientals afford it?Many of them live below the poverty line, right?
