Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 148 Change!
What the New York Post said was well-founded. Based on the above points, even some people who had confidence in Leila could not help but start to worry about her.Although they don't think she was dazzled by success as the media said.But I don't want her to be hit by this movie that is destined to not get any good box office.

"Come back and make horror movies! Even if you only shoot some screams, we will see the end!" This is the voice of fans who support her.

Facing the overwhelming voice, neither Laila nor Xinxian paid any attention to it, and even pushed behind.

For Leila, she really didn't feel any pressure because she knew it was going to be a movie that was going to be loved.As for the film crew, they are more willing to see the attention generated at this time. If it is blindly praised, it may be more stressful. Now there are all unfavorable voices, but they feel that this is very good.

The higher the audience's expectations, the higher the requirements for the movie.At that time, if they don't make a movie that meets their expectations, they will definitely be sprayed to death.But if you don't like it at the beginning, as long as there is something worth looking forward to in the movie, it will be a surprise to the audience.

Laila looked through the newspapers sent by Claire, but surprisingly did not find Cooper's comments.Basically, whenever she makes a move, the first one to stand up and spray her is definitely that person.

"Did it really hit him too hard?"

If this is the case, she can only express her regret, without him to stand up and fight her, she would be much weaker in terms of publicity and hype.

The entire production team is arranged by the film crew and Chen Long, and Laila only needs to be present.Of course, she has a very high degree of freedom. If there is someone she wants to replace, she just needs to open her mouth and someone will help her deal with it immediately.

In this regard, she expressed satisfaction.Now we only need to wait for the script revision to be completed before the filming can officially begin.

After seeing Laila's comments on the rectification of the script, the unhappy screenwriter took the script to the film studio, and the film studio handed over the task of communication to Chen Long.Because Leila's identity is too strong, most people really don't dare to question her decision in front of her.

Chen Long was also a little embarrassed when he received the assignment. He really wanted to tell the film crew that he didn't know her very well.But for his own dream of breaking into Hollywood, he finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Lila out.

"If you change it like this, will it have any impact on the style of the work?"

"Do you want to succeed?" Laila took a leisurely sip of tea.

"..." Chen Long already understood what she meant, and was a little dazed by her strong confidence.

Her meaning is very simple, if you want to succeed, do what she says, if you don't want to... don't blame her when the time comes.

"Okay, I'll be the one to communicate with the script." Gritting his teeth, he had already made a choice.

On the playwright's side, or on Laila's side, when he desperately went to invite Laila, he had no chance to choose.Either trust her completely, or don't seek her out in the first place.

Lyra's lips curled into a smile behind her teacup.Being able to make a correct decision in such a short period of time is not something anyone can possess. It is no wonder that he will be able to hang out in Hollywood with an oriental face in the future.

Since he was so cooperative, she didn't mind saying a few words to him: "I've seen a few Oriental kung fu movies you made before, and they are really good from the perspective of Dongfang Yi."

She was speaking the truth, but in Chen Long's ears it was unavoidably regarded as polite words.

"Hehe, it's okay." He didn't know what to say in this situation.Being praised by a teenage child...why does he still feel very happy in his heart?

Laila couldn't explain it either, so she just smiled and continued: "Bruce Lee's kung fu movies are popular in the West, I think it's because he brought a new breath to Hollywood. Fighting in Western movies is completely different, so fans like it very much and are willing to imitate it."

"And your kung fu movies are in a different style, more fun, lighter, witty, without that heavy feeling. It can make people laugh when they see certain actions. Indeed, it will make the tension of the storyline The sex is spoiled a bit, but again, you bring in the humor and make it your own. I don’t think that needs to change.”

Her words reached Chen Long's heart.He didn't think he would be worse than others, but everyone told him that Bruce Lee's kung fu was the most popular kung fu, which made him shake a little bit.

"What does this style have to do with changes in the script?"

"Of course it matters. You are taking a humorous route, but your partner is an old-fashioned guy who doesn't understand the style. Do you think that can also collide with a plot full of fire? I don't comment on other things, at least here In a movie, I think what you need is a guy who fits your style better, who's funnier, who has more humor. Preferably someone who makes people laugh when you see them."

One is funny and the other is old-fashioned, maybe at some point it will also produce a good chemical reaction.But don't forget that in this movie, Chen Long is not playing a funny character.On the contrary, he is more principled in some places, and more stubborn.In this way, pairing with a staid partner will completely cover up the humor that should have been revealed, and the shots without impact will only make the audience doze off.

"I understand." Chen Long understood what she meant, and looked forward to her directing even more.

In the end, the script was revised according to her opinion.Even if the screenwriter is upset, he has to make compromises under the pressure of the film crew.Speaking of screenwriters Jimmy Coff and Ross Lamanna, there are many excellent works in later generations.Especially the former, who has also written many episodes for the more popular series Green and Ghost Whisperer in later generations.

Capable people usually have more personality. There is an old saying in the East that "literati look down on each other", which means that literati look down on each other.Those talented scholars in ancient times thought that their own articles were the best, and they didn't pay attention to other people's articles at all.

The same is true for the two screenwriters. After seeing so many rectification requests from Lila, their first reaction was not to think about whether such changes were right, but to go directly to complain.Why would a little girl dare to point fingers at their works?Who does she think she is?

It's just that I made two low-budget horror movies, and I was lucky enough to be liked by fans. Do you really think that making kung fu movies is so easy?

The complaint was filed, and the film crew did communicate with Laila, but the result was completely beyond their expectations. That was according to the director's intention—change!
