Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 765 Amazing Ideas

In Laila's previous life, when it comes to movies about magic, "Now You See Me" has to be mentioned.This movie about magic and crime received a lot of praise and attention when it was screened. Of course, the box office is also quite impressive, winning more than 3 million worldwide.

And it is worth noting that out of the more than 3 million miles, North America only got 5 million, and the rest was all the box office obtained from its release in other countries.This means that this genre is not only of interest to audiences in North America, but also to other countries around the world.Especially when the second film was released, Touhou broke through the total box office achieved by the first film in just two days, far surpassing the box office performance in North America.

It would be ridiculous to tell Nolan about the Thieves now, so Laila stood in the position of a director and explained the reason why the Thieves she studied were successful.

"I haven't made a movie about magic. But if I were to make one, I would probably pay attention to a few points." She paused, organized her words in her mind before continuing: "First of all, we must make the audience curious about magic. How to be curious? It is to do some seemingly simple but dazzling actions to excite the audience. The second is to master the rhythm. Although the audience likes to watch magic scenes, it is impossible for a movie to shoot magic tricks for more than 100 minutes In addition, the way of communication between characters is also very important, using language and actions to highlight individuality."

As she spoke, she saw Nolan taking out a notebook and carefully recording her words.

For this reason, Laila deliberately slowed down his speech so that he could write down everything he wanted to record.She believes that if he really does what she says, the Prestige will be more attractive than the original.

After Nolan finished recording, he raised many detailed questions, and Laila answered them one by one.Sometimes he doesn't follow her advice on everything. When there are disagreements in some views, the two will also express their views to persuade each other.Sometimes when it comes to rising, there will be a lot of dancing.

In the corner of this coffee shop, no one would have thought that two important Hollywood directors would discuss things like this.Fortunately, this is a 24-hour place, otherwise they talked for a full four hours from the end of the show to the present, and such a long time was enough for the service staff to throw them out.

After all the doubts in his heart were clarified, Nolan finally let out a long and satisfied breath.

"Director Moran, thank you for giving me such an opportunity to communicate today. I think I have learned a lot." He stood up and extended his hand to her, thanking her solemnly.

Lila smiled and shook hands with him: "The same, I also learned a lot from you."

It's a pity that her modesty was not recognized by Nolan.He shook his head and said, "No, Director Moran, you are a truly great director."

No matter how ignorant he is of the world, he also knows that it is basically impossible for other directors to tell the other party his experience in such a non-hidden way.To know that they are peers, but also competitors.No one would be willing to create a strong opponent for themselves, would they?
But she did it.Based on this alone, she has already gained Nolan's respect.

After the meeting, Nolan returned home and went into the study to revise the script of "The Prestige" without thinking about washing up.

He has so many new things to add.The conversation with Leila gave him a lot of inspiration. He believes that after this modification, the script will be at least ten times more exciting than the original one!
Early the next morning, when his wife called him out for breakfast, he realized that it was already daylight.But he didn't bother to eat breakfast, he just took a piece of bread and drove to the film company. On the way, he didn't forget to call the representatives of several companies, hoping to meet them at the company.

I don't know if he is the representative who wants to repeat the old story again, and they came to the company in a state of anxiety.I just hope that the meeting with Moran yesterday can make him lose the idea of ​​resigning and make a good film of this new series.The first part should be able to get around [-] million to [-] million worldwide, which is a figure that makes them very satisfied.They are not greedy, as long as they can get such numbers for the next two films.

But what they didn't expect was that as soon as Nolan entered the company, he said in front of them-"I hope that the next two Batman films will be taken over by director Moran!".

It is conceivable how speechless the representatives were when they heard this.Moran!That's Moran!Does any Hollywood film company want to invite her to make a movie for themselves?But they have their own company, and there is no shortage of funds at all, so how could they come to make movies for us?
And that big director has never made a sequel, didn't you see that the series she created has never made a second part?Even the popular "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Harry Potter" series did not make her an exception.Why do you think that if you don't make your own more popular series, you will agree to make your sequel?

Several representatives looked at each other in blank dismay, very worried about Director Nolan's ignorance of the world.How are they going to make him understand that director Moran doesn't like his movies at all without hurting his feelings?

"Director Nolan." The representatives carefully considered their words and said carefully: "Director Moran still has work to do. Don't forget that she still has two Lord of the Rings unfinished. Although they were filmed together, It is said that there is only enough time to complete the first film in the later period, how can she have time to take over our films?"

Nolan waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, the director only needs to be in charge of directing during post-production, and he doesn't need to stay there all day." He is also a director, and he knows this very well.Even a director like him knows how to deal with it, how could Leila Moran, who has long been a Hollywood legend, not know?

Of course the representatives knew this, but they had to find a reason to extinguish his ideas!

"Director Nolan, when did Director Moran make a sequel? Even if we send the script to her, she won't continue."

"It seems to be like this..." Nolan then remembered that he seemed to be a little "overpowering".But he didn't want to give up on the idea.

To be precise, he had already had this idea since the long talk with Lila yesterday, and after a night, when he saw the script he adapted more brilliantly, he wanted to realize this idea even more.

He wanted to be by her side as Lyra's assistant, to see how she made the film and handled the script.

"What you said makes sense. I personally sent the script to her, and I must let her take it no matter what!" He turned and left the office after he finished speaking.

The speed was so fast that the others in the room didn't even have time to react.

"Forget it, he will give up when he hits a nail." Several representatives stared at the closed door and sighed helplessly.
