Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 624 Unexpected Invitation

After the Oscars ended, Roy continued to return to the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and Lila officially started preparations for "Lord of the Rings".

Before, she was only making small-scale preparations internally. As the preparations became more and more important, more and more people began to pay attention to her new movie.

"The Lord of the Rings" is an excellent work, but not everyone has seen it.After knowing that Laila was going to be photographed, many people wanted to have a sneak peek, and went to the bookstore to buy the book first. This craze even made the book on the sales list in just a few days.

This is actually not a development that is beneficial to Leila, because as Cooper said, "A thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts." The more people read the book, the more they will first have a fantasy in their hearts. The world of Lord of the Rings.When Laila's movie comes out, they can't help but compare the scenes in their hearts with the one in the movie. Once they don't meet their goals, the movie will be doomed to fail.

So it is not a good thing to be too famous. Leila has just swept Hollywood, and her fame is at its peak. It is not surprising that fans who follow her will do such a thing.

"Have you made a decision about the location of the filming?" Louise knew that she had been worrying about the filming location recently.

"Well, I'm still thinking about it." Laila closed her eyes, two things lingering in her mind.

Speaking of location, New Zealand was chosen for the original Lord of the Rings.But for Laila, when she thought of movies, scenes from "Avatar" came to mind.

New Zealand is very beautiful, but after watching "Avatar", what impresses me more is undoubtedly the mountains floating in the sky and all kinds of strange and dreamy creatures.

Lyra couldn't forget the beauty there, and if future Avatars could choose it, why couldn't she?Wouldn't it be perfect if a certain place in "The Lord of the Rings" was turned into that magical land in the East?
"Lila, if it's hard for you to choose, why not use both?" Louise suggested, "There are many backgrounds needed in the movie, wouldn't it be good to incorporate the one you want?"

This is indeed a good idea, and it's not that Laila has thought about it, but if the filming location is changed from one country to two, it means that the expenditure will also increase accordingly.This involves not only labor costs, but also various large and small relationships that need to be sorted out.

To sum it up in one sentence, she didn't want to be too troublesome.But her perfectionism made her want to put the most beautiful scenes in her memory into her own movies.She wants to take beautiful photos without too much trouble, and also wants to save too much unnecessary expenses. This is the reason why she has been struggling.

The problem was that she couldn't articulate it to Louise, and it was her who was really ashamed to say it.No matter how much the budget is spent, how high can it be in places with the consumption level in the East?As for being troublesome, let's not say it, it's just material for being laughed at.

"I'll think about it again." Laila made a headache expression, waved her hand and temporarily put the topic aside.

"Okay." Louise didn't force her: "About the selection of actors, many people have found them through various channels, hoping to play a role in it. Free guest appearances are also available." Well-known people, the reason why they want to play a role in this movie even if they don't want to do anything, is probably because they see that the future performance of this movie will be amazing.

In the past, some people would come to recommend themselves for Lila's movies, and Louise has already seen it.But this time, so many heavyweight actors came together, which surprised her.

When she was in Phoenix with Reynolds, she would never have imagined that such a day would come in the future.Not only did I get the qualification to enter the Oscars, but I also got on that stage and won the most important award for a movie!Now that there are so many star-level actors, don't rush to the door to play a role in the filming of your company... This is a situation that only appears in a dream, making her seem to live in an unreal world every day .

Laila thought for a while: "You can figure it out. If you fit the role, you can stay. But the best resources are reserved for our company's 'insiders'." She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the last three words, in order to Remind her again of an important point, that is, "the fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders".

If you don't remind me of this kind of thing, Louise will not forget it.

"I know what to do." She smiled, and suddenly remembered something: "Roy also wants to play a role in the movie."

"He called me. If there is a suitable one, please inform him to audition. Everyone in our company is treated the same, and he cannot be spoiled." Laila has always kept fairness in her heart.

She has never had the idea that a certain role must be played by anyone. In her mind, there are a lot of people with acting skills and strength. If this one doesn’t work, just change it. As long as she is still the director of the movie, the movie will eventually be shot according to her ideas .

For example, it’s like she’s drawing. You can draw with a 2B pencil, and you can draw with a 2H pencil. Since you can draw with both, who cares which one it is?Most pencil drawings of different models have their own "personality", which will endow the characters with their own soul characteristics, but who can guarantee that the differences between the smiling characters and the cold characters will not get a good result?
In short, actors are not very important. Laila feels that as long as she controls the film, it will not be skewed.

After Louise left, Laila began to struggle with the location of the original movie scene.To go or not to go, this is a difficult choice.But just when she couldn't make a decision, a phone call solved all her troubles, and she began to happily wonder if she was really blessed by God.

The call was from Yao Yingxia, a female official from the East who had a good friendship with Laila before.The purpose of calling this time is to invite Laila, a big Hollywood director who has just swept the Oscars, to the East.Whether it's giving a few lectures or accepting interviews, it would be even better if we can communicate with some domestic directors and cooperate with them by the way.

Laila was a little surprised that the other party would come to her so directly: "This is really an unexpected invitation. I really like Dongfang very much, but I have a new movie in preparation recently, and I'm afraid I don't have time to go." She said deliberately Pity.If you act too excited, it will appear that your side is too cheap, isn't it?
