Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 558

It was a question with its own pitfalls, and as soon as Lyra affirmed his question, it was guaranteed that there would be a bunch of people calling her crazy, and a bunch of Star Wars fans wielding their lightsabers against her.

"The box office is not the only criterion for judging whether a movie is good or bad. Due to the genre, it is not surprising that some good movies do not have a good box office. And I think it is very unfair to compare movies from different eras." Leila did not tell the reporter at all. While we continue to ask other questions, we talk about each other.

"For example, special effects. For commercial films, the weight of special effects has become more and more important. Take our special effects company as an example. Basically, a large proportion of the money earned by the film will be invested in the research and development of new technologies. "Star Prewar is a movie released in 1999. The viewing effect brought by the special effects at that time is far from what it is now. I believe that if Director Lucas continues to make sequels, the audience will be able to see more exciting special effects screen."

She blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. The reporters finally found a breakthrough and asked questions while she was breathing.

"So Director Moran, do you think your movie is not as good as that directed by Lucas?"

Louise secretly hated those reporters who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and they insisted on bringing something up if they had nothing to do.Who doesn't know how crazy George Lucas fans are?At this time, if you insist on competing with each other, it will not do Laila any good whether she answers yes or no.

She wanted to bring Leila back to the company, but was stopped with a smile.

"Director Lucas is a great director. He created Star Wars and created a symbol of the times. If you insist on comparing his movies with mine, I will only find it funny. It's like the apple tree and the pear Putting the trees together, it is necessary to compare the fruits of the two trees, which one is sweeter. They are all completely different kinds of things, so how can they be clearly compared?"

Having said that, the reporters couldn't ask any more questions, so they just brought up the two record-breaking times of this movie.

"This time it broke two screening records in a row, the movie with the highest opening day box office and the fastest film to reach [-] million box office. Do you hope to break more records?"

"Of course I am very happy to break the record. As for whether I can continue to break the record, I haven't thought about it." Laila squinted her eyes, and she was getting a little tired of pestering the reporters, so she simply changed the subject: "Speaking of the box office, Can anyone tell me how much the box office of "Catwoman" is?"

The reporters remember the data most clearly, and someone immediately said it: "As of yesterday, it was 3900 million."

"Oh~~" Laila deliberately prolonged her voice, and then smiled meaningfully at the camera: "It still looks good, I'm so glad Director Joseph didn't make our bad children's film."

Joseph, who was watching the live interview in front of the TV, swept the things on the table with a livid face: "Damn it! Next time! I will definitely beat you next time!"

Of course the reporters knew what Laila meant. At the beginning, Joseph rejected "Harry Potter" and lashed out at his former owner, and then ran to the crew of "Catwoman". I don't know how many people were waiting to see Laila pulling jokes.

As a result, Leila did not refute or cry at that time, but silently took over the job of director, and went to England to shoot the film in person.Seeing the current situation, it would be too naive to think that she was not angry at the time. Looking at her later deliberately putting the release times of the two movies together, you can know that she started the war with the heart of crushing the other party.

At this time, she brought it up again, and anyone could guess how bad Director Joseph's mood would be.

Laila brought Joseph out on purpose, in order to find someone to take the place of the dead so that the reporters would not pester her.And what she did was very successful. Compared with interviewing Laila, the winner, the reporters are also more interested in the loser. Who wouldn't want to beat the dog in the water?
So the reporters left from Laila's company, and went everywhere to find Joseph for interviews.

What was more tragic for Joseph was that he was blocked outside his home. He didn't live in a mansion like Leila's, but an apartment.He invested all the money from buying him before into his own movie, in order to make a fortune and at the same time gain some secure right to speak.

It can be seen that he was really optimistic about the movie at the beginning, and never thought of the possibility of losing money.

However, the result now...

"Director Joseph, your "Catwoman" lost to Moran's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Do you regret giving up the directorship of that movie?" A reporter broke through the siege and snatched The first opportunity to ask questions.

Joseph's face was so dark that it couldn't be darker, what the hell kind of problem is this?Didn't you slap him in the face brightly?This place was watched by so many neighbors around his home, so why would he have the face to walk out of the house in the future?

"I don't understand what you guys are talking about." He sternly said, "When did my "Catwoman" lose?"

It's all this time and you still don't admit it?Reporters like such a stubborn person, and the hype effect will be better when they get rid of him!

"If there is no loss, how do you explain that the two films are released at the same time, but "Catwoman" only has a quarter of the box office of the other?"

"The box office is not the standard for judging whether a movie is good or not!" Joseph couldn't hear others saying that his movie was not good, and excitedly waved his fist at the reporters: "My movie is art! How can it be measured by the box office!"

The reporters almost burst out laughing when they heard his words. Even a commercial film that couldn't be more commercial dared to use the word art to describe it.I'm afraid only he can say such stupid words, but they like it very much!
"Do you really think "Catwoman" is an art film?" A reporter asked amusedly the doubts in everyone's mind.

"Of course!" Joseph glared at him angrily: "My movie is shot with all my energy, and every frame in the movie is full of my passion for movies. I put all the insights in my life into it. What is it if it’s not art?”

"Then you really don't feel any pity about "Harry Potter"? If you were to shoot it, would you own the records that have been broken one after another?"

The reporter's words pierced Joseph's heart like an arrow.God knows how difficult it was for him these two days to let himself forget this moment.If time can go back, he will definitely not discard that movie.As the reporter said, if he was the one to shoot, all the record breaking and praises would be his!
It's a pity that there is no "if" in this world. The fact is that he abandoned the work that should have allowed him to reach the sky in one step, and chose a film that made him unable to hold his head up.

No amount of remorse is useless now, all he can do is to maintain the last self-esteem and keep talking.
