Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 1149 The Superhero Throwing Down

It really shouldn't be too embarrassing to see the middle and senior management of two film companies rushing to her in front of her for a film that would blow their pants off.What can she say?Said that he didn't pay attention to their videos at all, and didn't think they could be a stumbling block to him?Didn't even regard them as opponents at all?
Those words must not be said, otherwise it would not be an awkward chat, but a grudge.But other than that, it is impossible for her to express some optimistic words against her will.What if what she said here spreads out and is promoted as a movie that even Laila likes?More than once, she inadvertently inflated the box office of a movie by being caught watching it.

"Superhero films are indeed the most popular and safest direction for audiences. But if other aspects are ignored because of this, it would be putting the cart before the horse, don't you think?"

Laila wanted to let them accept the reality in advance in a softer way, so as not to be too seriously injured at the time.It's just that her kindness has become a wariness against them in the eyes of her opponents.This is obviously what they are very happy to see, and being able to be regarded as an opponent who needs to be vigilant by Laila Moran shows that they have indeed done the right thing in this step.

"Director Moran is right. What a superhero movie needs are big scenes, more special effects, and a better story! We are very optimistic about the movie this time. Hehe."

I haha ​​your face!Laila really couldn't take it anymore.Talking to these people is really tiring, why do you have no eyesight at all?What the hell was he trying to brag about how good his film was in front of her?

She really wanted to tell them in advance what the movie would look like. With a cost of 1 million yuan and a global box office of more than 2020 million yuan, the new series will not be restarted until 9.That's right, 9 years later!It will take them [-] years to wash away the audience's bad feelings towards that movie!

(By the way, because of the failure of "Catwoman" in 04, DC did not dare to set foot in female superheroes again until 2017. Fortunately, "Wonder Woman" did not disappoint them, and won the global 1.49 at a cost of 8.22 million. [-] million box office. Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise it is estimated that they will never dare to make female superhero movies in the future.)
Now they come to her and say these things, aren't they really being stupid?Even if you don't know that the movie will hit, there's no need to be embarrassed in front of her, right?Or did they know something she didn't?Or have other purposes?

Just as she was thinking wildly, director Nolan came over.

The two top executives of Warner Bros. gracefully ended the topic without continuing, and gave up this space to the two most popular directors in Hollywood.

"Thank you for coming, you know? You just saved my life!"

Nolan was taken aback by what she said: "What's going on?"

Lyra shrugged. "They were telling me about their Green Lantern."

"Oh, I know that. I heard that they have put a lot of energy into it, and they have been promoting it in a high-profile way since casting. I watched the released video a while ago, and it seems to be quite interesting." Nolan has not read the comics , It’s completely speaking from the perspective of movies.

Laila smiled and shook her head.

"Why? Do you think..." Nolan looked around and lowered his voice: "They will fail?"

Lila certainly can't say that the other party will definitely fail, after all, she can't "predict" that kind of thing before it is released.But she also has her explanation: "They have been talking to me about that movie just now, and from what they said, it can be heard that they have invested a lot in special effects this time."

Nolan understood: "That is very necessary. Commercial films are almost inseparable from special effects for big scenes. After "Avatar", everyone thinks that audiences like to watch special effects, especially special effects for big scenes."

"What do you think?" Laila wanted to hear what the talented director thought.

"I think the movie still depends on the script. Only a good frame can build the building. The special effects are at most decorations on the outside. They will make the building beautiful, but without them, it will not have much impact. .”

Nolan belongs to a relatively old-school director, as can be seen from his insistence on using film to shoot movies.He has something he insists on. It can't be said that he doesn't like special effects, but he knows where to use special effects.In her previous life before her rebirth, Nolan still insisted on his film shooting, and believed that only 70mm film could produce the effect he hoped for.

However, the progress of science and technology will eventually choose cheaper and more convenient technology, and the disappearance of film in history is also in line with the trend of history.Even if he personally said that "the disappearance of film will be a disgrace to the film industry", he could not stop it.

"You're right!" Laila is also a person who attaches great importance to the script: "If the frame is not ready, what's the use of a beautiful building? It's a pity that in the current film industry, many people only see what To make money, go there desperately, but forget the most basic things. What the audience wants to watch is a good movie, even if it is not so popular, as long as the effect is made, it will still be loved by the public.”

The West is a capitalist society, and huge capital flows will only flow in the direction they think makes money.The result is that after "Avatar", a large number of special effects blockbusters have emerged, with slogans that the audience likes to watch, and then rushing forward to become a bunch of dogs.

Superhero movies are indeed the hottest genre right now, and DC under Warner Bros. has more and hotter superheroes than Marvel.But in the same way, there are not no superheroes that have been thrown away, such as Halle Berry's "Catwoman", and "Fantastic Four", "Hulk", "Daredevil" and so on.

Nolan shrugged indifferently. Anyway, the film has nothing to do with him. Warner Bros. and him are just a cooperative relationship. Unless the other party goes bankrupt because a movie hits the market, it will have no impact on him.He is currently busy filming "Inception", and he doesn't know what to wait for the "Dark Knight Rises" he collaborated with.

"What makes me more surprised is why they arrange the movie before your movie. If it were me, the same type of movie would definitely leave you for more than a month!"

Laila laughed at his serious expression, "Don't act like you're afraid of me, you're one of the hottest directors in Hollywood, okay?"

"To be honest, I'm afraid it won't happen, but it's very unwise to compete with you for the box office." Nolan explained to her item by item in order to prove that he was not talking casually or flattering the boss.

　In fact, even those superhero movies that were thrown away were quite interesting before.

　　Now that I’ve watched a lot, I feel that this is not the case and that is not the case. Ten years ago, Hollywood blockbusters with special effects were quite attractive.Who told us that these are all 5 cents special effects.
