Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 764 A Conversation Between Two Directors

Lila smiled and nodded: "That's about it. It's not that no one watches art movies, but there are not many people who like to watch them. And more people who like to watch this kind of movies don't choose cinemas, but like to watch them in a quiet place. My family is slowly savoring the inherent charm of the movie. So it is not surprising that the box office is not high."

"Commercial movies are different. Originally, people choose them because they are enjoyable to watch, they can stimulate the secretion of adrenaline, and let themselves experience the thrill of excitement. In movie theaters, first-class equipment can deepen these feelings. It is far from being felt at home. Why do you think the audience should not go to the cinema to watch it?"

Nolan nodded thoughtfully: "So special effects are a very important place?"

"It's very important, but it's not the only important thing." Laila stretched her body and changed to a more comfortable sitting position and continued: "The most important thing is that the quality of the movie must pass. Director Nolan, I think you have already That's brilliantly done. But with all due respect, I think you lack some self-confidence, and if you don't trust your film yourself, how can you expect anyone else to?"

Nolan lowered his head, thinking about her words: "You are right, maybe I really lost my confidence."

And a lot of his self-confidence was actually destroyed in her hands.The work I was satisfied with was beaten to pieces by the other party. Not to mention his introverted personality, even a more confident person could not help but start to doubt life.

"Director Moran, do you think there is anything that needs to be improved in my film this time?" He was eager to know this, just like what he said just now, he thought that if the film was entrusted to her to make Definitely can do better.So if it was really handed over to her, how would she take the picture?
Lyra rubbed her chin, thinking he had asked a good question.When I was studying those successful Hollywood blockbusters in my previous life, I also thoroughly studied these three Batman films.What she is interested in is why the box office of the first and the last two of these three films is so different. What is it about the first film that is not loved by the audience?
After her research and analysis and investigation on the Internet, she really found some places.

"In terms of choosing actors, I think Director Nolan did a good job. Christian is an excellent actor. He interprets Batman's psychological journey very thoroughly, and I feel his inner transformation step by step. But I want Saying that I enjoy such a delicate transformation does not mean that the audience also likes it."

"Psychologically?" Nolan subconsciously sat up straight.

"That's right." Lila nodded: "You let Bruce Wayne grow him from a traumatized child to a hero fighting against the forces of darkness in front of the audience. From these delicate descriptions, I can fully appreciate that period of psychological development."

"But it's a pity that the people who watch your movie are not psychiatrists, nor are they people who are more likely to resonate with such a plot, but a group of young people who prefer comics and summer commercial movies. How many young people with them as the main body can calm down and watch the mental journey of the first half of the movie?"

"So, I got the rhythm wrong?" Nolan asked thoughtfully.

"It can be said that in Hollywood, movies are our products. How to make products more popular with buyers is what we need to do most. Maybe you have something you want to shoot, but how do you let the audience understand your thoughts? And accept that that's something you need to think about."

Laila was actually using herself as an example.She also has a movie she wants to make, but she is very sensible and knows that it is impossible to reach the sky in one step.In her previous life, she wanted money but had no money, and contacts but no connections, so she could only hang out in the TV circle.At that time, even if she was given a bad subject, she would agree.

In this life, she has obtained many favorable conditions, but because of this, she has no way to directly make the movies she wants to make.Because she doesn't want to lose, and she can't afford to lose.So what she chooses is to constantly polish her shooting skills, and constantly let herself master more experience that she could not learn in her previous life.When she thinks that all the conditions are ripe, then she will come up with the script she wants to shoot.

Nolan closed his eyes, thinking about his own heart.

He felt that he seemed to understand something from her words.

"I didn't intend to take Batman at first, because I thought that this type of film would have a high box office. But I needed money to film what I really wanted to film, so I took it. Now that I think about it, I really want to do it. too naive."

Hearing his serious sigh, Laila couldn't help but want to complain about him.His Batman series will be called the highest-grossing Batman, isn't it a success?
Well, although the latter two films have not been filmed yet, the trajectory of history is like that.To explain in layman's terms, he is wandering at the bottleneck. When he comprehends the laws of heaven and earth and gets through the two channels of Ren and Du, he will stop people from killing people, and Buddhas will stop and kill Buddhas and go straight forward.

"Director Moran, if the movie you want to make is not the type that the audience will like, how would you make it?" He asked another very in-depth question.

Just like there are many authors who are good at writing a certain type of novel, the reason why they keep writing this type of novel is that it is not easy to throw away, and they can receive manuscript fees to live on.But they often have something they really want to write in their hearts, and some of them can't help but try what they want to write, and then some people rush, some write mediocrely, and some can successfully transform.

If you don't even have the courage to try, how do you know what the result will be?

Regarding Nolan's question, Leila can tell him very clearly: "There has never been an unpopular type of movie. The audience doesn't like to watch it, just because it didn't shoot this type well. It's like I used to make "Pirates of the Caribbean". , how many people have been clamoring that the pirate movie is dead before I made it, and whoever makes it will be unlucky. But then? The result is that I won, and the audience liked it!"

Nolan's eyes lit up: "Actually, there is a genre I really want to shoot, and that is magic! But this genre has never been very popular with the public, and it is difficult to find investment with a script."

Lila knew which one he was talking about. It should be the "Fatal Prestige" film he filmed between "The Mystery of Shadows" and "The Dark Knight".He had heard for a long time that the appearance of this movie was entirely a wish of his, but he did not expect it to be true.
