Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 941 The reason for being hacked

Murdoch has a newspaper in the UK called "News of the World".This newspaper is similar in style to the New York Post, both are gossip newspapers, and both have a long history.

But last year, in 2007, the newspaper was shut down due to a wiretapping scandal.The daring News of the World reporter hacked not only the phones of important figures, but also the victims of numerous cases at will.Because this incident was a big deal at the time, even though it had been closed, Murdoch was still asked for a large number of claims. It can be said that it was a time of desperation.

The Moran family is also a family that came out of the UK and owns a certain industry in the UK.Of course, the larger companies are still on the US side.

When Murdoch was in trouble, Leila was still acting as the president's affairs, so she mixed the water a lot when the matter was fermenting, and got a lot of benefits from it...

etc!Could this be one of the reasons why he was hacked?Suddenly Laila felt the truth.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the "New York Post" is a place to make money by blackmailing itself, and occasionally say good things in order to praise itself before falling hard.There is really no psychological pressure on my own side to deal with it.

What Leila did was simple, she went to her grandfather first.

She believed that after so many years of rivalry with Murdoch over there, the old man must have caught a lot of the opponent's tricks or weaknesses. Isn't there a saying that "the person who knows you best is the enemy"?

So she made a phone call to her grandfather.

Who is Oswald?That's an absolute tycoon-level figure, how could he not know what the New York Post was doing?And Laila guessed right, he was indeed holding some interesting things in his hands, and he had no intention of throwing them out, after all, some things are more shocking when held in hands than thrown out.But the phone calls from his granddaughter all came, and the other party did not give them much face to the Moran family, so why should he be polite?

"I remember you still have a movie to prepare, right? Just leave the matter to me, and go about your business."

The old man waved his hand very chicly and let Laila play by herself.A whole newspaper would not waste too much energy on his precious granddaughter.

Of course Laila was more than happy to let the matter out, since Grandpa had disclosed Chrysostom, what was she to worry about?
After finishing all the trivial matters, she received a call from Leonardo.

"Should we start our work?" There was a whine in his voice.The script has been written for so long, if she hadn't said that she would wait for the Oscars to end, it wouldn't have started until now.

"Of course, I'm just going to contact you." Laila also felt a little embarrassed. So many people waiting for her alone would always make her feel a little guilty.Although she is already one of the top directors in Hollywood, she still has the modesty and humility of an oriental person.

After finally getting her approval letter, Leonardo was finally happy: "Then let's start, my side is ready, and I can enter the crew at any time."

"I have also recruited people here. There are still some supporting roles that have not been found. If you have time, you can also give advice." Everyone in the company knows that Louise has always been in charge of finding supporting roles. , and this time her energy is focused on the Oscars, and she has no time to help her audition and recruit people.After the Oscars, she has to accept interviews and arrange various matters. Now that most of the company is on vacation, she is already busy.

It just so happens that time is not in a hurry, so the recruitment for the new movie has been delayed until now.

Lyra was genuinely not interested in the matter.It probably has something to do with her previous life experience. Whether it was filming commercials or TV, there were generally few situations where she could make a decision.Usually the producers or investors just plug people in.At best, she can express her opinions on some small roles.

Of course, such a small role is also very attractive to newcomers who have just entered the entertainment industry, so she still has some weight in the eyes of some people.

Like those actors who are stuffed in, there are really not many who are famous enough for their acting skills. It is said that famous big names don't like the dramas she filmed.But there is one thing she does very well, that is, she has a good way of training actors, whether it is an actor with poor acting skills or a rookie who has just entered the entertainment industry, under her training, they can perform at a super level.

In this way, she doesn't have too much stubbornness about who the actor is. No matter where the actor is from, she has the confidence to let people perform what she wants her to perform.In this way, why should she worry too much about the selection of actors?

But now her vision is higher. Although she still doesn't care much about the supporting roles, it takes a lot of thought to choose the protagonist.Every movie she makes now is a work with word-of-mouth and box office. She doesn't want to have any bad stains in her films because of some "barely" performances.

The same is true for "Blood Diamond", which Leonardo is very fond of this time. After the starring role is confirmed, the other characters, Laila, don't bother to care about it.She has always believed that no role is specially prepared for a certain person. Take the clown who was popular in the previous life as an example. Isn't Roy playing that role also reached a very high level?Even in her opinion, Roy played a deeper role, digging deeper into the character.

Leonardo had never worked with her before, and he basically learned about her from Roy.According to Roy, there is nothing wrong with Laila, she is holier than angels and more perfect than gods.Every time Leonardo heard it, his scalp was numb and his skin was covered with goosebumps.

He also got a lot of information from some actors who have worked with Leila on the Internet. In short, this person is very powerful and powerful. As a director, he is impeccable, just like many great directors. He may be fierce when shooting, and prefers to control everything.

For some self-motivated actors, such a director is quite good.If the director is serious, the quality of the movie will be guaranteed, and if the movie sells well, the value of the actors will skyrocket.If someone is so ambitious and wants to climb the ladder, who wants to cooperate with a director who is just doing nothing?
Leonardo actually thought the same way, but he used to cooperate with the famous "studio tyrant" director Cameron "Titanic", which left him with some psychological shadows, and he was really a little disappointed in the future shooting life fear.The only thing he can comfort himself now is Laila's performance at the Oscars this time. If he can get the little golden man of best actor, he can only bite the bullet and dedicate himself to art once.
