Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 168 The Screening Meeting ([-])
The Moran family is a well-known media tycoon, and it is simply too easy to promote a movie through their channels.Didn't see the frenzy that Leila's first two films sparked?If there were no people from the Moran Media Group behind the scenes, they would never believe it!

They release and show so many films every year, as long as one or two of them can reach that level, they will be satisfied!Therefore, it is definitely a cost-effective thing to have a media that we are happy to cooperate with.

Of course, even if they are mentally prepared to fail, they still have a lot of expectations for the movie.If you can make money, who would think too much money?

After exchanging pleasantries, dozens of relevant personnel sat in the small screening room of New Line Company.

Leila was sitting next to Chen Long, so she could clearly see his clenched hands and slightly rapid breathing.I don't know if nervousness is contagious, and even she couldn't help but feel the air around her become suffocated.

She has seen the finished product and thinks it should be better than the original version in memory.Some of the flaws in the original version were avoided, and some of the shooting and expression techniques that were only available in later generations were integrated, and some of her understanding was also added.

She is looking forward to what these people will look like after watching the movie.

"let's start."

The small screening room of New Line Films was chosen for the screening, so it was a senior executive of New Line that issued the order.He gave an order, and the movie finally started.

The story line of Rush Hour is actually very simple, and there is no human nature or complicated and tortuous relationship that needs to be pondered.It is the story of the daughter of an ambassador stationed abroad who was kidnapped, and then distrusted the American police and found a friend to rescue her.

This is a kung fu comedy, as long as the kung fu is done beautifully and the audience can laugh out loud after watching it, it will be considered a success.To put it simply, it is a popcorn movie, which is very suitable for dating and casual viewing, and it is perfect as a movie enjoyed by the whole family.

After receiving the script, Laila didn't plan to make any "depth". What she cares about is not the comments of the film critics, but whether the audience thinks it's cool after watching it. paid off at the box office.

But this does not mean that the film is easy to shoot. Indeed, this film has no special effects, and Chen Long almost supports the whole show with his kung fu.But everyone who makes movies knows that audiences’ tastes are very difficult to predict. Many times, movies that they think can make a lot of money are not favored by the audience at all. Many times, movies that they think have no big hits win unbelievably. income.

Just look at the Blair Witch. Film critics didn't give it a good review, but that doesn't prevent it from winning an astonishing record of [-] million box office worldwide at a low cost.And for investors, getting a bunch of trophies is not as happy as getting tens of millions of box office dividends.

Soon, the movie screened on the small screen had finished its initial preparations, and the character played by Chen Long finally met his black partner.Chen Long, who clearly understood English but acted like he didn't understand it, made the people in the small screening room chuckle. Even Tucker couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and laughed.In his words, even he didn't know that this shot would be so interesting.

Then, in order to go to the ambassador, Chen Long used the crowd to slip away from Tucker, and the two chased after each other, which set off a wave of enthusiasm for the film.

Chen Long's movements were amazing. It was hard to imagine a person's body would be so light and smooth. A series of movements that challenged the limit attracted several exclamations and few applause.

This is a small screening room with only a few dozen people. The people sitting here are all related personnel with status. These people who rely on their status can't help but applaud. It is conceivable that movie fans will only be higher than this after seeing it. Reaction.

The most interesting part of this paragraph is on the bus. When Chen Long landed on the open second-floor bus, the elderly tourists wearing neat tourist hats applauded and exclaimed, and many people came to meet him. He took a photo.And he also made a few cute moves towards the camera in a funny way, in exchange for another chuckle in the small screening room.

So far, Laila has been satisfied with everyone's reactions.She knew that it was impossible to expect too exaggerated and excited reactions from these people, and as long as they acted a little funny, they would get double the response when they were actually screened.

When editing this passage, she used some techniques that are only available in later generations.The tension of the chase is highlighted in a slightly sharp way, and the relaxed moment on the bus is set off in a soft way. The result of the collision of the two different ways is that the film is more interesting.It's as if the Japanese add some salt when eating watermelon, just to let the salt bring out the sweetness of the watermelon better.

After reading this paragraph, Chen Long felt that he had made a very correct decision this time. It was great to invite Leila to be the director!

The connection between the shots is smooth and exciting, as if each picture is conveying what the content wants to express.He has never seen the strong and impactful imagery caused by sharp editing, but he must admit that he likes this movie.Even if he didn't finish the show, he thought this movie would be his most solid foundation in Hollywood!

An hour and a half of film passed quickly, and when the ending cast list appeared on the screen, everyone applauded.

"It's really great, Director Moran!" The executives of New Line congratulated Leila with a smile: "I am very honored to witness the emergence of another good film."

Lila smiled slightly: "Thank you for the compliment. I also think that I did a good job this time, which is inseparable from the cooperation of the leading actors. Chen Long and Tucker taught me a lot of things that I have never been exposed to before. thing."

"Haha, you are so humble. This will be a classic kung fu movie, and I think maybe the craze for kung fu movies will flourish again after this movie is released!"

"Indeed." While talking to these people while maintaining a smile, Laila had an idea that made her a little excited.

Chen Long also came to her side at this time: "Thank you very much, Laila, I think this is the best movie I made in the United States. I really hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

Lila smiled and shook hands with him: "I also think we have a good chemical reaction, and it would be nice if we can cooperate again in the future." Having said that, she couldn't help complaining in her heart, he came to Hollywood I haven't made many movies in total, so of course it's the best one!
But she wasn't talking flattery, their cooperation was indeed very pleasant, and she learned a lot of things that kung fu movies should pay attention to.
