Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 376 On the show

In the United States, like the time I went to FOX to record a program, if there were no high-level executives to welcome her, she would not even enter the door.But it's different here, no one cares about her grandfather's identity, and no one cares about the Moran Group behind her.Anyway, it is a foreign media group, no matter how good it is, it cannot have any influence on the country.

Therefore, in the East, what Laila attracts the most attention is her status as a great Hollywood director.

While leading her upstairs, Wu Mo introduced some information about the TV station to her, and also introduced the content of the program by the way.

"This program is mainly to discuss some topics with the guests. After a while, they will show you the list of issues that will be mentioned in the program. If there is anything that you do not want to be mentioned, you can tell them in advance. In addition, if you have any I hope that those broadcasted on the program can also communicate with them."

She has also appeared on many programs in the United States, and Leila still knows about it. What she knows more is that because of the face of being a "foreigner", the host and program crew will not be too harsh on herself.Moreover, the national TV programs are not as entertaining as those in foreign countries. They probably just ask questions about movies and their own experiences.

After arriving at the studio, Laila met the director and host of the program group.The host Wang Tao was quite famous in his previous life, and the show was very popular with the audience.The style of hosting the show is more emotional and warm, and doesn't ask too many questions.

"This is a topic that will be discussed later. Director Moran can see if there is anything inappropriate." Probably because he already knew that Laila speaks Chinese very well, he also spoke Chinese right away.

Laila glanced at it and said, "There is no problem. It is much more easy-going than the problems I encountered abroad."

This was the truth, but it made everyone around me laugh.

"Before we found the programs that Director Moran had participated in before on the Internet. Maybe our styles are different, but I hope you can feel at ease as if you were at home."

Lila nodded with a smile. "Thanks, I think we'll have a very happy show time. Also, just call me Lila."

Wang Tao was no longer polite, and said with a hearty smile: "Laila, welcome to Guoshi."

Soon, the recording of the program officially started.

Leila and Wang Tao sat on both sides of the small round table.

"Dear audience friends, we have invited a special guest today, Laila Moran from Hollywood, USA." Wang Tao introduced Laila facing the camera.In fact, what he said has been described in more detail in the recent media, but in order to let more audiences understand her, some simple introductions are still necessary.

"Laila, this is your first time in the Eastern Lands, isn't it?"

Lila smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"It's your first time here, how do you feel about the East?"

Having been an Oriental for 30 years in her previous life, Laila naturally knows what the audience likes: "The East is a wonderful country. I have been to the Great Wall and the Forbidden City these days, and everything I see is so beautiful."

Wang Tao smiled and said, "Then what impresses you the most?"

Laila deliberately thought for a few seconds before saying: "It should be oriental food. In fact, my grandmother is also an oriental. She has cooked delicious oriental food for me since I was a child. So when I came here, I introduced her I have tasted many things, such as tofu nao and roast duck.”

Wang Tao laughed: "Then you came to the right place. The eight major oriental cuisines are enough for you to eat until the next century."

After chatting for a few words, the two finally turned to the main topic.

"Lila, you are a well-known director in Hollywood, do you know about oriental movies?"

"It might be an exaggeration to say I understand." Laila knew that she couldn't do too much on TV: "But I have some oriental movies that I like very much."

Wang Tao asked with great interest: "What are they all about?"

"For example, I enjoyed watching some works of Mr. Zhou Xingxing. There are also directors such as Chen Kaige, Wu Yusen, and Xu Ke. In addition, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee is also a very good movie. , I think it should have good box office results even if it is released in North America."

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was officially released in the East in early July, and it is still in theaters, so Wang Tao is familiar with this movie.

"What do you think are the differences between Hollywood movies and Eastern movies? There are too few movies like "Rush Hour" that can please both Eastern and Western audiences. But Hollywood movies can achieve very good results when they come to the East. "

Regarding the film, Leila must have opened his mouth: "Simply speaking, it is a cultural difference. Eastern films are placed in the West, because of cultural differences, Westerners cannot understand the meaning of some plots in the film. .But Orientals are much more tolerant and accepting, and have a higher acceptance of Western movies.”

In fact, this was secretly flattering the Orientals. Wang Taoming knew this, and he was very happy, because what she said was the truth, no matter how you think about it, it is indeed the same thing.Otherwise, how do you explain that Western films can earn so much box office when they come to the East, but Eastern films are dismal in the West?

As for the level of shooting, the plot of the story, and so on, Laila has long been misleading to those places.

After talking about Hollywood movies for a while, and looking forward to the future of oriental movies for a while, Wang Tao finally brought the topic to the purpose of her visit this time.

"I heard that you plan to spend billions of dollars to build movie theaters in various places in the East? I don't know what makes you have such courage?"

The billions is purely bragging for her by the host. Maybe it will cost so much in the future, but at the current stage, it is still difficult to come up with so much money at once. Even her grandfather’s tens of billions of assets are not all stored in the bank. cash.

Laila was silent for a moment, and then said with a serious expression: "Before I made this decision, I did some research on the movie investment environment in the East. During the investigation, I found that the movie theaters in the East are very outdated. , it can be said that it was only 90% of the level in the 1s.”

Wang Tao was taken aback: "It's so low?" This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

"That's right, it's that low." Laila nodded solemnly: "What exactly caused this situation? Last year, that is, in 99, Dongfang's annual box office was only 8 million RMB, and a total of 102 films were released, making a profit. but only 20% of them.”

"Why did this happen?" Wang Tao asked the same question as her.Because this is indeed a very staggering number.Think about the box office she can earn from a movie, it can be worth as much as Dongfang for several years!
