Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 948 A Powerful Blow

The story of "Blood Diamond" really happened in Sierra Leone, a small country in eastern West Africa that experienced 11 years of civil strife not long ago, and the origin of all these evils is because of diamonds.

This is a poor country. Even though it uses diamonds as its main export commodity, it has not allowed its people to live a prosperous life. On the contrary, the original sin provoked by diamonds has brought irreparable scars to this land.

When choosing a location for the movie, everyone left here.Not because of fear of danger, but because the country is too poor to even find a place with complete infrastructure for them to shoot.So after some selection, they chose another place that is very close to Sierra Leone-Port Edward in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa.

This address was known to Laila in her previous life, so she simply decided on it, and Leonardo didn't raise any objections at that time.It was probably because he himself had put that matter behind him long ago, and never thought that it would bring hidden dangers to the filming later.

As a result, Laila was tricked by him for a while, and she didn't know that they had caused such trouble in South Africa before they were about to leave.

Fortunately, the Moran family still has a lot of power in the upper class, so they directly used the ultimate weapon-the US government to help them negotiate with the South African government, letting them take over the responsibility of protecting the crew.

For the request made by a hegemon like the United States, South Africa has no courage to refuse if it wants to refuse. Otherwise, the aircraft carrier will make two laps at the door of the house, and the people of the whole country may hide at home and tremble.

Laila knew the benefits of carrots and sticks, and the bad guys let the White House play, and she was very kind and offered to send some money to South Africa.Of course, she is not stupid. The money is not given in vain, but in the form of investment. Finding someone to help find a few interesting projects and invest more can make the people in South Africa smile more sincerely.

The difference between being forced to fuck with a gun and being lured to smile with bait is obvious.

The heroine this time is Jennifer Connelly, the actor who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2002 was recommended by Leonardo.He also said that if she doesn't like it, she can change it at any time.But Leila is still Leila, confident that any actor can bring out the best in any actor under her guidance.Not to mention that he is an acting online.

Seeing the lively talk here, Jennifer also sat down and joined the conversation.

Her joining let Laila quietly breathe a sigh of relief. With someone who can talk to Eileen, she can retire.

In order to avoid being dragged to talk again, Laila took out the script, read it again, and wrote down her feelings in some places.

Although she has read it countless times, she can still learn something new from the script every time.

The words in the script turned into pictures and flashed in her mind one after another, converging into a continuous plot.How should this scene be filmed, what effect will it produce, and will the effect be better if it is filmed in other ways?These are all things she is thinking about.Before shooting, she hopes to create more possibilities for the script, instead of being confined by a subjective idea.

Her seriousness made everyone around see it. Jennifer and Elaine didn't want the conversation on their side to disturb her thoughts, so they got up and ran to the back to chat.

Others lowered their voices in unison, and some also took out the script and began to recite their lines or understand their roles.If even the big directors at the top are so serious, why don't you let yourself work hard?

"Don't look at it, if you look at it again, you will be caught in your eyes and you won't be able to pull it out." Leonardo waved his right hand in front of Roy.There is a friend who can't get enough of his girlfriend all day, and slaps a bowl of dog food on people's faces every now and then. Is there anyone more pitiful than him?

Roy patted his hand away, his eyes still on Laila: "She's starting to study the script again. Sometimes I really hope she can take a good rest."

"Don't you think reading scripts is also a way to rest?" Leonardo said disapprovingly, "I also like to read scripts when I'm tired."

"It's different. When you read the script, you see the plot and the characters, but when she reads it, she sees everything." Roy knows her too well.

Leonardo raised his eyebrows: "Who told her that she is in this line of work? Isn't it the same for us as actors? We are trying our best to climb up for such a road."

Roy glanced at him and showed a smirk: "Don't compare me with you, I've already got it."

This is really a very powerful blow, Leonardo held his chest in the shape of vomiting blood: "You can be more vicious!"

"Haha." Roy laughed and patted him on the back hard: "Don't worry, with Laila here, you should be able to realize your wish this time."

"I know." This year's Oscars gave him the biggest surprise. If even she, the director who swept the Oscars and won eleven nominations in one fell swoop, can't win that award for herself, he might have to think about whether he has Not that material anymore.

"By the way, do you think what happened last time will affect this shooting?" This is a question that has been bothering him.

Even with layers of protection, whether official or privately hired mercenaries and bodyguards, it still couldn't make him forget the few days when he was hiding.I thought it was quite exciting at the time, but after returning to the United States, I started to feel scared.He didn't dare to imagine what kind of "entertainment" they would get if they fell into the hands of those people if Xiao Huan and his friends didn't show up at that critical moment.

Maybe the diamonds are robbed, and the money is also robbed, which is the best result.He was worried that when those people looted everything on them, they would directly tear up their tickets.It should be an easy thing for those people to let the two foreigners disappear into the shadows without a sound.

Roy frowned: "I hope not. The place we went to was different from this time. Those people can't treat the whole of South Africa as their back garden, can they?"

"But the place where our plane landed is still the airport when we left last time. Have you forgotten the people who were interrogated there when we left last time?"

After Roy thought about it, it was indeed the case: "I heard that the military will make some arrangements at that time. I don't think we will be in danger as soon as we get off the plane, right? Then the South African government will lose face."

"That's right." Leonardo nodded: "It's because your fiancée has the ability to find official help. With these regular official help, it should have a good guarantee for our safety."

"Laila has always been great." The corners of Roy's mouth twitched again.

It made Leonardo really want to slap him, how cruel he really is, if he insists on repeating Leila's powerful words, he will always forget how abominable this showy wife madman is.
