Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 251 Don't Underestimate Hollywood

American Express did not limit how long guests could stay on the island, but Laila had lost interest and stayed on the island for her future movie.

That's right, what she saw was Golden Island and its golden beach!
Everyone thought she was sitting under the umbrella to enjoy the waves and sea breeze, but in fact she was merging everything in front of her with the imaginary movie images in her mind.Otherwise, why would she lie on the beach for most of the day?

For the next few days, she stayed in the room to sort out her inspiration and experience. If it wasn't for Nabuhani and his wonderful fiancee, it might be fine for her to stay for a while longer.But with those two, no matter how beautiful the island is, she still feels a little off-putting.

So on the fourth day after the banquet, she finally decided to return to Hollywood.

Oswald was in favor of her decision with both hands and feet.He had to return to New York after the banquet because of company affairs, which made him very worried about Lila who stayed on the island, fearing that when he didn't pay attention, the delicate flower he had managed to raise would be dirty again The wild beasts are taken away.

As for Janet, who also stayed on the island to find inspiration, he didn't bother to care about it.With previous "experience", he also knew that he couldn't control his daughter at all, so he might as well let her out and see if any unlucky man could take her in.

"you are leaving?"

While Laila and the others were packing their luggage, Prince Nabuhani rushed to her room excitedly.That expression of "finally sending the plague god away" made Laila really displeased.

"Are you happy?"

"Of course I'm happy!" His Royal Highness laughed like a brilliant chrysanthemum when he thought that he finally didn't have to run to her side in a daze every day.

"Just as long as you're happy." Laila smiled without sincerity, then pushed him aside: "You're blocking me."

Only then did the prince remember his purpose for coming here: "By the way, are you going back to make a new movie?"

"Correct."

"That rumored action movie?"

"Ah."

The prince was depressed: "I said you can't answer a few more words? I came to you as soon as I heard important information."

Laila put down the manuscript that was about to be put in the suitcase: "Did your fiancée find the movie that beat me?"

"How do you know?" Nabuhani's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.He came here to report the news as soon as he overheard the news. There's no reason why she would know about it earlier than herself, right? "You bugged her?"

"You're thinking too much." Laila was speechless at his thoughts.He first talked about the movie, and then the important information, and he knew very well that the eldest lady disliked her, so it was too easy to guess the truth.

"Then what?" she asked.

Nabuhani's feeling of offering a treasure just now was swept away, and he found a sofa and sat on it depressedly: "Are you really not worried at all?"

"What should I worry about?" Lyra asked back.

"Of course it's Fayze's investment! I heard that the action movie she wants to invest in is co-produced by a very powerful director and editor."

Lila shook her head amusedly, and said the same thing as before: "Don't underestimate Hollywood."

Why does Hollywood have a lot of follow-up works when a movie with a good box office comes out?It is because no matter how powerful the film companies and filmmakers are, they cannot determine the interest of the audience.That's why when I see a movie making money, I frantically follow the trend and make the same type of movie.

Before Laila took over the Phoenix Company, Reynolds and the others did the same thing, except that their follow-up was more clumsy. A B-movie film production company is not called for nothing. A movie can be shot for tens of thousands of dollars. Sets and props can be made with one dollar, but they will definitely not cost one dollar.

Nabuhani is not from the film industry, so naturally he doesn't know the rules in it.But he, like many people, thinks that as long as the money comes and he finds the best director and screenwriter, even if he can't create a movie like Titanic, he can always make hundreds of millions, right?

But he never thought that if movies are so easy to make money, as long as the investment is invested, there will be income, why do so many rich bigwigs put such a big cake and refuse to take a bite?

"Don't believe it, I heard their conversation, it's really a very powerful movie!" Nabuhani looked towards the door twice, then lowered his voice, at a volume that only two people can hear, He said in a low voice, "John McTiernan knows, right? Fay is the one who made the movie he invested in!"

"Oh?" Of course Laila knows him, he is the one who made "Predator" and "Die Hard", and he is definitely capable of being filmed as a first-line director.

Nabuhani continued: "There is also the screenwriter, who is said to be the father of high-tech thrillers and has written many best-selling novels. One of his novels was made into a movie by a particularly powerful director, and he seems to have made a lot of money. Money. What's it called?"

He lowered his head in thought, then slapped his palms violently: "That's right! It's called "Jurassic Park"! It was made into a movie by that very capable director named Spielberg!"

"Yo?" Laila raised her eyebrows and uttered the monosyllable of surprise again.

This is really an incredible combination, both the director and the screenwriter are very capable.Not to mention the director, the screenwriter is really good, and has written many award-winning novels.Not only "Jurassic Park", but even the series "The Story of the Emergency Room" was created by him.That's a shortcut for many people to step into top stars, such as George Clooney, didn't he come out of that drama?

Her calm appearance made the prince anxious for her: "Why haven't you figured out the situation yet? I heard that the budget of that movie was at least 1 million. Think about it, when the time comes Fay released such a powerful movie at the same time as yours, do you think the movie you spent so much money to make can compete with them?"

Laila smiled slightly: "I know, I will pay attention." It is rare that the other party has the heart to report to her in advance, no matter whether it is useful to her or not, at least she has the intention, and she can't be ungrateful. Right?
"You really know?" Nabuhani looked at her suspiciously, no matter how you looked at it, she felt that her words seemed to be fooling him.

"I really know." Laila didn't bother to explain to an outsider how Hollywood worked.

No matter how great a director is, there are times when he misses, such as John Woo's "Wind Talker", or Spielberg's "Happy Terminal".A successful director only has a few more chances of failure than the average director, thinking that those who have made good movies will never fail, that is what laymen would say.
