Chapter 631 Winner in Life
After all, it is not a professional art school. The students here are only interested in movies because Laila is a great director who has just achieved great success in Hollywood. After asking a few relevant questions, my interest in her turned to other places related to her.
They ask about the impact of the Internet on traditional media, which shows that many people have realized this. It can be seen that the various conveniences created by the Internet in the East in the future will not fall from the sky. It is the curiosity of these people that will lead to future success.
"I think it is inevitable for traditional media to be impacted by the Internet. In fact, the Moran Group had discovered this trend a few years ago, so it invested in many related projects. For example, websites that have become news portals, and The development of FB and so on."
"Why did you think so early that traditional media would not be able to defeat the impact of the Internet?"
This question made Laila smile. She would definitely not say it because she had known the future development for a long time, and even if she really said It will only be regarded as a joke.
"It's very simple, because of convenience! Human beings are very lazy, but this is not a disadvantage. It is precisely because of their own laziness that all kinds of convenient things are created and produced. Just take the washing machines, vacuum cleaners and other electrical appliances around you Look at it, aren't their emergence just to save human beings from laziness?" "The
convenience of the network is that it can exist on smaller terminals, such as computers or mobile phones. In the future, everyone will have a mobile phone and can walk anywhere When information from all over the world can be received without hindrance, traditional media will no longer have much room to stand." At
this time, even mobile phones were not yet popular, and what she said was very forward-looking. What she said now is just a prediction. In a few years, when someone comes out with news about her speech at this time, they will know how correct she was.
"When tradition cannot defeat the Internet, how should we deal with this conflict? Can we just watch the traditional media die?" Someone else stood up and asked.
Laila smiled and shook her head: "Technology is developing. If new things replace the old ones, it can only be said that the old things have lost the meaning of their existence. It is impossible for any industry to just stick to the old things. If it continues unchanged, if you can't defeat it, you can choose to integrate it to transform yourself.
Moran Group is an example. Under the impact of the Internet age, it did not rest on its laurels but transformed itself, and thus got a better reputation. Good development. So the impact is not entirely a disadvantage, it may also be an opportunity."
Laila's speech was a success, and the question and answer session with the students after the speech also received waves of applause. In the eyes of these students, she is not a big Hollywood director, but a successful businessman.
And the next day, when she showed up at the art school, she received the welcome that a real Hollywood director deserves.
Needless to say, the students at the art school were very excited when they learned about Laila's arrival. Those students at the First Academy don't understand what the great Hollywood directors represent, they don't understand what Leila Moran represents, and they don't understand what the thirteen nominations and eight wins for "Chicago" represent. They understand!
That means legend!
Are the domestic first-line directors great? No matter how powerful they are, they are only influential domestically, and at most in Asia. But director Moran is famous all over the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a treasure of the world! She is young, talented, rich and powerful, and the most important thing is that she is good-looking and has an Oscar-winning actor boyfriend who is even better-looking than her... She is simply a sure winner in life!
When she was surrounded by so many handsome men and beautiful women and walked into the auditorium where the lecture was held, Laila's head was a little dizzy.
As expected of being the number one art school, the recruitment standards are high! The beautiful faces, full of collagen and youthful atmosphere, are a bit overwhelming for someone who has lived two lifetimes.
Regarding the art school, the speech she prepared was quite different from yesterday. Yesterday I talked about "ideals", because there are some future elites there, and having a correct life goal is very important for their future. She hopes that people can gain some inspiration through what happened to her.
Today at the art school, the theme she prepared was "Discovering Self."
"In Hollywood, sometimes when chatting with people, people often say to me, 'Laila, you are really good at choosing actors, and you find such a suitable candidate every time.' But I don't recognize this, because I I rarely find actors in person, unless they are people I particularly admire." "
So how do I get my actors? It's very simple, audition. Every time I need an actor, I will tell the work to be done by my subordinates. Help me audition actors according to the movie. Maybe everyone has to say again, your staff has really good vision and can find such suitable actors every time." "Yes, they are very good.
But there is one thing I don't completely agree with, that That's the word 'appropriate'." Laila took out two photos from the prepared information bag and zoomed in on the large curtain behind her.
"There are two actors here. When I told them that I needed an abandoned expression, they gave these two respectively." Laila pointed to the first picture, and then pointed below casually: "This classmate, tell me What did you see in the first photo?"
It was a beautiful girl wearing an apricot coat. She didn't expect that she would be named. She stared at the photo nervously for two seconds before answering seriously: "I saw her expression was very painful."
"Yes, because she was abandoned, she was very painful and sad." Laila pointed to the second picture: "Where is this one?" "
It should be hatred and anger. One. I feel very unwilling."
Laila was very satisfied with her answer. She nodded with a smile and asked her to sit down: "Yes, in her understanding, the expression after being abandoned should be anger, and she feels towards the person who abandoned her. A lot of hatred. So who of these two did the right thing and who did the wrong thing?"
The students in the audience looked at each other and shook their heads in confusion. Neither one seems right. Being abandoned can be sad and painful, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's also okay to hate the person who abandoned you because of abandonment.
"Both of them made mistakes in their expressions. The reason why they gave different performances is because of their own personality characteristics and their own understanding." Laila looked at the audience: "A large part of you, in After stepping out of school, you will all embark on the road of acting. What I want to tell you is, don't limit your own character."
Chapter 632: It turns out to be such a great director
"Just like the actors in these two photos, each one can play the character I mentioned well. The same character can be played into sadness or hatred. Then Who can be the final winner? It must be the one who performs better!"
Laila smiled: "This is not nonsense, but a fact. How can we achieve the level of 'acting well'? Of course you understand it best. That, or even your own personality!"
"So today my theme is 'Discover Yourself', I hope you can tap into your own potential. When you encounter a role and feel that you can't play it, ask yourself first Is it true that you can't act? Why can't you act? Also, can the protagonist's character that you understand can be played from the aspects that you can play well?" "Let's take the abandoned
character just now. If you are good at crying scenes and you can act out the story while crying, don't choose to be a revenge queen. When you feel that your acting is nondescript, the first thing to think about is not that you can't play the role, but that you can't play the role. You may have deviated from your track."
Laila's speech on acting comes from her two generations of directing experience, and she is absolutely accurate in every word. If the students below can understand her, it will definitely be of great help to their future acting skills.
Next, after talking about some experiences in directing, it was time for students to ask questions again.
Students in art schools are not interested in scientific development, network technology, or planning. What they yearn for is the other side of the Atlantic, Hollywood, the holy land of movies!
They want to know what the big stars in Hollywood look like, how the big directors in Hollywood create so many outstanding movies, and what the stories of the Oscars are... Laila is very happy about this, because she also likes these
. ah!
Especially in the days when she first became Laila, she still needed to undergo rehabilitation training in the hospital. Her greatest pleasure was studying celebrity gossip and interesting stories about Hollywood.
So what was a good speech turned into a gossip conference while the school teachers couldn't laugh or cry. It was not until the arranged time was over that the two parties reluctantly ended the event.
# original she is such a great director#
After Laila left, there were more topics about her in the school. Many people think she is different from what they imagined.
In their imagination, directors who can achieve top status in Hollywood will definitely have a sullen face and act cold. Who would have thought that not only did she say a lot of useful things, but she also ended up chatting with their students about Hollywood gossip. Even when asked about things between him and Roy, he didn't mind telling some anecdotes about getting along with each other, which gave everyone a good understanding. In their eyes, she was a very attractive person.
As for the No. 1 university where the speech was given yesterday, when they talked about Laila after the speech, they focused more on her personal abilities. Her so-called classic marketing planning cases have benefited them a lot. The corresponding issues mentioned in the Q&A session were also well explained by Laila.
Both speeches were very successful, which made Yao Yingxia, who had been paying attention to this matter, relieved. She invited people and arranged things. If anything goes wrong, she will definitely take full responsibility.
When sending Laila and her group back to the hotel, she asked tentatively: "Some media want to interview you. I wonder if you can spare some time?" The units that applied for interviews were mainly official media
. Their responsibility is to report Leila's visit well and tell the public that there are also some "international friends" among foreigners who like the East and are willing to cooperate with the East. To be precise, they need the emergence of a representative figure so that people from outside countries who want to invest can see that the East welcomes their arrival and is willing to provide various benefits.
At the same time, a large number of interviews will also sell Laila well and help her build a good reputation in the East, which will be of great help to her future actions in the East. At least when she thinks about investing in the cities below, local officials will give her some support because of her good reputation.
Laila understood what she meant and was grateful for her care. This didn't do her any harm, on the contrary, it had quite a lot of benefits. If it weren't for her own laziness, it would be great if she could follow up with all the interviews.
"Yao, you have helped me a lot. If it is the media you recommend, I am willing to be interviewed." She pretended not to know what she meant, but acted as if she only agreed to give her face.
Yao Yingxia was very satisfied with her answer and felt that her emotional investment in her during this period was really correct. She didn't know that Laila had already decided to invest in the East in the future, and she thought that people really valued her. Otherwise, no matter how well she was praised at home, it would have nothing to do with her working hard abroad. As for the movie box office, she feels that Dongfang's money is really worth it.
Laila would probably laugh out loud if she knew she thought this. Yes, there is indeed not much oil and water in the East now, but within a few years, it will catch up with the box office performance of North America at a much-anticipated speed. Look at what Hollywood companies will do in the future in order to win the Eastern box office. They will choose Eastern actors, make special Eastern editions, and change the story scenes to the Orient... In short, they will not give up any face for the sake of money.
Why? Of course it's because there is money to be made in the East!
Americans are tired of watching blockbusters, but Easterners are not. Many American blockbusters came to the East and received box office that could save their fate. It can be said that Dongfang's performance has become a safety talisman for those blockbuster films. Under such circumstances, how can Hollywood film production companies not What about the big market in the East that I love so much?
With Laila giving face like this, Yao Yingxia was even more considerate of her: "It's okay to ignore some insignificant media, or just hold a press conference. I suggest that it is best to accept the program invitation from National Television, just like the interviews I have participated in before The program is the same, it's relatively relaxed and you can just chat. There are also several official newspapers and periodicals that you can choose from. Don't you have a movie to be released in the summer? I think this is a good publicity opportunity."
Lai La nodded after hearing this: "Okay, I'll let Demi handle it. Then you can let the media contact her."
This is what comes next! Seeing that she was so trusted, the smile on Yao Yingxia's face became more sincere: "Don't worry, I will definitely arrange the best choice for you."
Laila smiled and said: "I know."
Chapter 633: Tribulation?
There is no need to be anxious about the interview. Laila plans to wait until she returns from Zhangjiajie to arrange related matters.
"I have already arranged my schedule for tomorrow. But Boss, do you really want to take the train instead of flying?"
Laila successfully concealed her dislike of flying, even from her nearest secretary. Demi always thought that she just preferred to take a car or other means of transportation, but never thought that her not flying was simply a matter of dislike.
"The train is nice. I want to take the opportunity to see more of the scenery along the way." Laila found a perfect reason for herself. What could be more enjoyable than sitting on a train and admiring the scenery? Especially if you don't have to fly.
"Okay, then I'll book the train ticket for tomorrow morning, okay?" "
Let's reserve a carriage. There are many of us."
It's not that Laila is arrogant, but that her bodyguards don't allow her to be in too complicated a situation. environment. Their duty is to protect her safety. No one knows who will be mixed up in the carriage. It would be no joke if something happens.
In fact, Laila didn't think she would be in much danger in the East at all, but how could she explain this kind of thing to the bodyguards? After all, these people's worldview has long been distorted by Western brainwashing reports, and they all believe that the East is a world full of chaos and danger.
"I understand." Demi quickly agreed to Laila's opinion.
She didn't know exactly what to do when renting a carriage in a foreign country, but she was smart and knew who to ask for help.
Sure enough, after making a phone call, Yao Yingxia readily took over the matter and promised to give them a comfortable and clean trip. But she didn't understand why Laila and the others chose the train. It seemed a bit uneconomical to waste more than 20 hours on the journey. She thought that rich people like her would cherish their time.
Maybe it's what the rich think? She could only use this reason to understand.
If she knew that Laila had no idea that the train ride would take that long, she would probably be speechless.
In fact Laila really didn't know. She may not be a road idiot, but she is a geography idiot. The East is a vast land with abundant resources, so many provinces and cities, and so many places worthy of attention. Apart from knowing the beautiful scenery of Zhangjiajie and the peaks used in "Avatar", she has no idea about the distance between where she is now and there.
So when the group of people arrived at the train station the next day and entered the arranged compartment, she learned from the person who was sent to act as her guide that she would be trapped in this small compartment for the next day. .
"..." This was really not a funny joke, and Laila cried because of her stupidity. Why would she give up a few-hour flight for a day-long train ride?
Yes, you can see the scenery along the way while sitting in the train. But no matter how beautiful the pastoral scenery is, it will feel boring after looking at it for a few hours. In comparison, closing your eyes and taking a three- to four-hour flight doesn't seem to be an unbearable thing.
But what is the saying? The cause you have sown will be eaten even on your knees.
That's exactly what happened to her now. Even if he already knew that he would spend the whole day in the carriage glaring at the guide, he could only accept it. But she also made a decision, that is, as soon as she got off the train, she would notify the Moran family's plane to wait at the airport. Never take the train again when you come back!
The train ride of more than 20 hours may sound scary, but in fact, it will be over after you sleep, play cards, chat, read a book or something.
At least Laila was in good spirits when she got off the train, but Demi was a little overwhelmed. Who would have thought that she would get train sick? She vomited as soon as she got in the car, which opened her eyes and made her feel a lot of guilt.
Because Demi was not feeling well, the group, led by the guide, rested one night in a hotel near the scenic spot and waited until tomorrow.
No one else can help with motion sickness. Even if you go to a doctor, the most you can do is prescribe some motion sickness medicine. Demi lay down to rest after entering the hotel room. Laila asked someone to take good care of her before returning to her room.
Before coming, she had collected a lot of information about this place, most of which Yao Yingxia helped her find. When it comes to the beauty of the scenery, this place will definitely not disappoint. I just don't know if it's a matter of preconceived notions. She is fascinated by the scenery in "Avatar" and wants to fly there immediately and put that scenery into her own movie.
At night, while Laila was looking at the information, she heard a knock on the door.
She lived in a suite. In addition to her own room, there were several bodyguards outside to protect her. Laila knew that it was the bodyguards who responded when someone knocked on the door, so she didn't pay attention to the sound of the door knocking.
But soon she felt something was wrong, because there was no sound of talking outside. If it's room service, the bodyguard won't make a sound, right?
"What's the matter?" She stood up, opened the door and looked outside, worried that there might be some misunderstanding because the bodyguards didn't understand Chinese.
But as soon as the door opened, a big hand covered her mouth and dragged her into the room...
"Ugh..." She was shocked. The mind of the world-class director also opened up in an instant, and all kinds of conspiracies, various trajectories, and situations that appeared in various novels were swarmed through his mind.
Before she could react, the big hand covering her mouth was suddenly removed, replaced by a pair of lips breathing hot breath, and a kiss that could almost take her breath away!
Is this... a robbery?
However, when she opened her ice-blue eyes and looked into the "gangster's" eyes, she realized what she had encountered from those familiar eyes. Then she put her hands around the other person's waist and twisted hard. 360 degrees.
"Hiss—" Roy took a breath, rubbed his painful waist and took a step back: "We haven't seen each other for so long, are you tired of me, so you want to murder me and then find a boyfriend? Laila
glared at him: "It's your luck that I didn't take out the gun to give you, okay?" He should be glad that this is not the United States. She left the gun she brought with her when she came, otherwise she would encounter Seeing such a dangerous thing, her first reaction would definitely be to shoot him away!
Roy smiled and opened his arms and hugged her: "Okay, it's all my fault."
Laila ignored him, turned around, walked back to the table and sat down. She was really frightened just now. She couldn't imagine what would happen if a strange man did something to her. She just knew that maybe she would do something bad out of extreme anger.
"I just wanted to give you a surprise." Realizing that she was really angry, Roy came to her side with a smile and apologized: "I was wrong, please forgive this man who has missed you for a long time."
Chapter 634: Taking advantage of others
This person is so shameless and shameless that it's really hard to do anything about it.
Laila was only frightened by him at first, but now she calmed down and felt happy that he was by her side.
"Why did you come here?" This is not Hollywood, nor is it the United States. It is another continent across the Atlantic. Before this, she had never even thought that he would come here and give her such a big "surprise" and "joy".
Seeing that she was no longer angry, Roy immediately hit the snake and rested his head on her shoulder: "The filming has been finished. I heard that you came here to shoot the scene, so I planned to have a meal with you.
" A few hours of flight, traveling thousands of miles to such a far place just for food? It's a shame he came up with such a good reason.
Laila slapped his head away angrily and amusedly: "You are so rich, why do you still need to earn a living?" "
Yeah." Roy's voice softened a lot, and the deep voice seemed to melt into his ears. "I just like to eat your food."
Laila rubbed her hot ears a little reluctantly. She didn't know if it was because he was getting older, but his voice was already the same as when they first met. There are many differences. As I grow older, I seem to be getting deeper and deeper and more magnetic. In the parlance of later generations, it is a proper subwoofer, the kind that makes people's ears become pregnant after listening to it.
This is not good news for her. As a senior face control person with voice control attributes, she is worried that if she continues to watch him "evolve" like this, one day she may no longer be able to control her wolf nature and give him away. Knocked down.
Even though they were boyfriend and girlfriend, the most they could do was hold hands and kiss a few times. Laila has never been able to let go of Eastern conservative ideas, and she was too embarrassed to take the initiative to suppress him. But Roy could still hold back, which she couldn't understand.
But she didn't say anything, so it seemed good. At least she didn't have to worry about whether she should just go with the flow or give in half-heartedly when that situation really happened.
What she didn't know was that the reason why Roy never expressed any further to her was entirely the result of Janet's initial conversation with him. If she knew, she would probably be very touched by their silent love and relationship, right?
Laila's mind was spinning with many thoughts when she suddenly covered her cheeks with her hands. God, what was she thinking? Are you so "hungry" for his beauty?
"What's wrong?" Roy looked at her silly movements and couldn't help but pull her hand down and kiss it carefully. Kissing her finger by finger, the kind that you can't put down.
"It's nothing. Have you had dinner?" Laila suppressed the heat stirred up by him and calmly withdrew her hands and hid them in her pockets. What should I do if I don't want to wash my hands tonight?
"Not yet. I came here right after I got off the plane. I almost looked in the wrong place. Demi doesn't know what's going on. She can't get through on the phone. Fortunately, I can learn Chinese pretty well, so I finally found the wrong place. ." Roy couldn't help complaining.
Laila chuckled: "It's really not her fault. She fainted all the way on the train, and now she is still resting in the room." Now she finally remembered. No wonder Demi was obviously very dizzy on the train and still took it from time to time. Make phone calls to remote places. She originally thought it was because of work, but it turned out that she ran to ventilate with him.
"No wonder I can't get through." Roy looked at the time and said, "Won't you come with me to have dinner?" "
Well, I'll go with you." It was almost 10 o'clock, but he hadn't eaten yet, so it was obvious that he was in bed The plane came in a hurry. The thought of him coming to see her hungry took away all the last traces of anger in Laila about being frightened by him.
Picking up her handbag and coat, she followed Roy to the hotel restaurant. Although she is more interested in the local snacks outside, who calls her a "foreigner" now? There is also a world superstar Roy around, so it is better to keep a low profile.
This hotel is not bad. The restaurant has both Chinese and Western food. Roy was taken along by Laila and became more interested in Chinese food early on. He ate there, and Laila ordered a dessert and sat with him.
Laila looked at him munching on food as if he had been hungry for a long time, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "How was the photo taken this time? I think you seem to have lost weight." "You haven't lost much weight. You just turned a lot darker."
Luo Yi had something in her mouth and said as she ate, "Don't you think I'm much sexier again?"
Laila looked at him funny, puffing out her cheeks like a hamster hiding something, still sexy. ? If you want to be sexy, you'd better swallow what's in your mouth first.
"How is Rob?" She was more concerned about this.
"Not bad, I think he's quite good." At this point, he added: "It's just not as good as you. Why would you think of letting him film the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean"?" Laila smiled and took a tissue
. Helped him wipe off the grease stains from the corner of his mouth: "That was the condition I agreed to him. He played a great role in "Chicago". Without his participation, I would definitely not be able to make it to the current level. And I also looked at his director at the time level, I feel like he should be able to produce the effect I want." What she didn't say was that it didn't matter even if the film didn't go well, the most important thing was to tie a capable director to her chariot.
If a powerful director like Robert could be tied up with a movie destined to have a box office of hundreds of millions, she would definitely be able to throw the movie out without blinking an eye. At her level, box office and money are no longer important. What she focuses on is the future and what she sees is future development.
It seems like she is risking a blockbuster film, but in fact she has tied up a director who will produce more benefits in the future, and a good director has a very great influence in Hollywood.
Maybe Rob's level is still at the "Oscar nomination" level for the time being, but who can guarantee that he won't suddenly become enlightened and win a Hollywood director statuette in the future?
By that time, Laila will have another general under her command, which will definitely have a great impact on the company's development and its appeal in Hollywood.
Roy didn't understand what was going on and didn't bother to ask.
"How many days do you plan to stay here?"
"For now, we plan to stay for three days and then go to other places."
"I have time now anyway, you can't leave me this time." Roy wiped his mouth after eating and drinking, and followed Lila's example and ordered a dessert. While eating, he said: "I heard that Dongfang There is a film and television city. Let's go check it out when we have time. It is said to be very interesting."
"Sure, I have no objection. Anyway, before the promotion of "Iron Man" begins, I will focus on looking for scenes."
Roy looked at her: "When do you plan to start promoting it?"
"It will be released in the summer, and I plan to promote it again in May." This promotion refers to a relatively large-scale promotion, and the previous posters and other things are not included.
Chapter 635: Not April Fool's Day
The next day, Laila was awakened by the phone ringing.
She picked up the phone and saw her mother's number displayed on it: "Mom?"
"Are you just getting up? Sorry, I seem to have forgotten the time difference." The moment the call was connected, Janet thought of her daughter from her sleepy voice. We are currently on the other side of the world.
"It's okay, I'm already awake." Laila sat up and asked, "What's the matter?" "
Nothing, I just wanted to ask you when you'll be back."
Laila raised her eyebrows in confusion: "I just came here not long ago. , I'm afraid I won't go back before May."
"Ah? Tomorrow is April Fool's Day, don't try to lie to me today!" Janet was unhappy: "It's William's birthday, aren't you going to come back early?"
Laila laughed: "His birthday is still a long time away. What should I do now?" She opened the theme amusement park for William's birth before the start of the summer vacation, so it was easy to remember little William's birthday. It's time to promote the movie, and so is his birthday.
"Well, actually, I've been designing the costumes for "The Lord of the Rings" recently. I'm a little confused about some parts, and I want to talk to you."
When Janet was designing costumes, she was often turned on by Lila's words. Inspiration switch. Therefore, she developed a habit of "not being inspired enough for her daughter to join in". Once she encountered a design bottleneck, she wanted to discuss it with Laila.
She designed the costumes for Laila's films twice, and miraculously won Academy Awards both times. The consequence of this incident is that many film production companies or film directors invariably go to big-name costume designers to design costumes for their films.
However, this kind of thing is not necessarily possible if a big-name designer takes action. There is also a suitability issue involved. Janet's characteristic is that she is very good at designing according to the needs of the scene and plot. It is difficult to say whether other designers can do this.
Perhaps she was addicted to helping Leila, or perhaps "Lord of the Rings" was really important to her. In short, she started this work after receiving Leila's task.
The design this time is also very heavy. There are more than 100 actors with lines alone, and there are also backgrounds and supporting roles without lines. Some of the main actors' costumes even required multiple sets. You can imagine how heavy the task was this time.
Laila knew this would be the case, so the costumes for some supporting roles were handed over to her mother's staff, and were handled by other designers. Finally, Janet confirmed whether they could be used. Janet herself is mainly responsible for the costumes of the main characters, and this is where the dilemma lies.
"What's the problem? Tell me if I can help you?" Laila asked.
Janet could only think about it, and told her the dilemma she encountered: "I think the clothing of each ethnic group should have their own characteristics. Do you think it is a completely different style, or is there something in the middle?" Can they be shared?"
Laila was not very good at fashion design, but she understood her mother's words.
"Mom, I think you should follow your own ideas. When you read this character in the book, just draw what comes to your mind at that time." A thousand people said in their
minds There are a thousand Hamlets, and Laila will not deliberately cater to the preferences of a certain person or group of people. What she wants is to make her own "Lord of the Rings"!
After a lot of effort, she finally calmed down her mother's problem. Laila breathed a sigh of relief and was about to hang up the phone and say goodbye to her when she heard Janet say on the other side of the phone: "By the way, tomorrow is April Fool's Day. Don't be easily fooled." It's just a joke."
Laila smiled and shook her head: "No, don't worry, April Fool's Day is not celebrated here in the East."
After hanging up the phone, she didn't know why, but her heart always felt empty. , as if I forgot something very important. Although my mind doesn't remember what happened, my body still seems to remember it.
What could it be?
Could it be that she was also infected with tangled emotions by her mother?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door and Roy walked in from outside.
"Don't you get up very early every day? Why didn't you get up today?" It was rare to see her staying in bed, so he was a little surprised.
Laila put on her coat: "Janet called me just now and said she was out of inspiration again."
Roy said amusedly: "Is there a time when she still lacks inspiration?" A woman who won the Oscar for Best Costume Design two years in a row A real designer still says he has no inspiration? Will anyone believe this?
Laila shrugged: "It's an April Fool's Day joke that hasn't come yet."
Before she finished speaking, her body suddenly froze, and her eyes widened: "Roy, what day do you think it is today? "
March 31, 2003." He walked up to Laila and touched her forehead: "Are you confused because of the fever?" "Oh, my
God!" She reached out and slapped his hand away, and hurriedly picked up her cell phone and called Dai. Demi's phone call: "I want to go to Hong Kong, arrange the fastest way for me immediately!"
"BOSS, you want to go to Hong Kong? Now?" Demi subconsciously glanced at the clock with a calendar in the room to make sure that today was not April Fools' Day. Then he asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say you want to enter the scenic spot in Zhangjiajie?"
"Those are not important. Anyway, I want to go to Hong Kong now. I'll get there as quickly as possible!" Laila walked around anxiously, her voice unprecedentedly anxious. and solemnly.
Her sudden unusual behavior was something Roy had never seen before, and he couldn't help but become nervous due to her. After she put down the phone, he asked: "Why are you going to Hong Kong suddenly?"
Laila looked at him, her face turned slightly pale. She didn't know what to say. Could she tell others that just tomorrow, on that day when she was happy to fool others, a person she liked very much in her previous life would use his life to make a big joke on the people who loved him in the world?
When she saw the news in her previous life, she and many others thought it was a joke played by the media. However, the result was...that person left this world in an unbelievable way.
"I..." Laila didn't know what to say, and no one would believe her even if she told the truth. "There is a movie that I am very interested in that will be released tomorrow, so I want to go and watch it as soon as possible." This was the only excuse she could think of in a hurry.
"Movie?" Demi just walked in, and those were the words she heard as soon as she saw the door. She almost thought her ears were broken, otherwise how could she hear such childish words from her wise and powerful boss?
As soon as I arrived at my destination after taking a train for a day, I went to Hong Kong to watch a certain movie because I had to catch it! How many movie tickets can the gas money for this flight be enough to pay for?
I like my brother very much!
Chapter 636: Inhumanity
Roy looked at Laila but had a strange feeling. He could see that she did not tell the real reason. But since she didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask.
"The movie is not bad, just in time we can go on a date." He winked at her deliberately, looking wickedly sexy.
Laila twitched her lips unnaturally. She was really not in the mood to laugh right now. Such a magnificent person disappeared so suddenly. This regret would appear from time to time until she was reborn. She studied many movies in her previous life, including several of his classics. That kind of charm that only he could interpret made her know for the first time that there was such a man in the world.
Perhaps it was because of the time gap that she didn't even think that she could do something to make up for her regrets after her rebirth. It wasn't until the word April Fool's Day came out of her mother's mouth that she felt as if a door had been opened, pulling out the regrets deeply buried in her memory.
It's a pity that she remembered it too late. From here to Hong Kong, it not only requires a flight time, but also involves a series of problems. Fortunately, I have a passport, so it shouldn't be difficult to go to Hong Kong.
"BOSS, I just contacted the captain. He said he can take off in two hours." The captain Demi was talking about was the one who flew the Moran family's private jet.
After getting off the train, Laila asked the captain to fly over with the plane and crew. At that time, she thought that taking the train was too boring, and it would be better to take a few hours flight to reach the destination. Unexpectedly, thinking about it at this time, she actually did something extremely right. If you don't have your own plane, it would be a lot of trouble to go to Hong Kong from here.
"Notice, let's pack our things and go to the airport!"
Laila gave the order and determined the next direction, but their packing completely confused the sent guide.
Have you agreed to go to Zhangjiajie for filming? Why are you leaving suddenly? Is it because the service here is not attentive enough, or is it for some other reason?
The guide was frightened. If he had neglected his "international friends" because of his work somewhere, wouldn't he have to commit seppuku after returning?
"Why did you leave so suddenly? Is there something that made Director Moran unhappy?" The guide did not dare to ask Laila, so he could only ask Demi.
Demi blushed a little, and really didn't want to tell the real reason, but looking at the other person's look on the verge of tears, she knew that something would probably go wrong if she didn't tell the truth.
"It's like this. A movie that Director Moran is looking forward to is released. She really wants to see the premiere, but it will not be released in the East for a few months. Fortunately, the film in Hong Kong is synchronized with the global release. , she decided to go watch the movie first, and then come back to the filming work."
The guide kept his mouth shut for a long time after hearing this. So it wasn't that he didn't arrange it well, or that the hotel was being negligent, it was Director Moran who wanted to watch the movie, but it wasn't showing here, so he decided to fly to Hong Kong to watch it?
There are only four words in his mind at this time? ——Inhumane!
This was the first time he heard that there were people who took a special flight to watch a movie, and it was a private plane. How much does it cost for a round trip? Do you have enough money to open a new cinema?
In fact, it's pretty much the same. From here to Hong Kong, you can't even get hundreds of thousands of dollars for fuel, not to mention the cost of the crew members and the maintenance of the aircraft.
But so what? Anyway, this plane belonged to Moran's grandfather Osvid, and even if she paid for it, it wouldn't be Laila's turn to pay half of it, but she used it very happily.
On the way Laila and others went to the airport, Yao Yingxia also received news from the guide that the group had changed their itinerary and went to Hong Kong to watch the movie premiere.
She was as shocked as everyone else by the news. Apart from "tack", no other word could appear in her mind.
"Will you come back after watching the movie?"
"You said you will come back after watching the movie to continue." "
Then let her do it. If you need anything, report back immediately." Knowing that she would come back, Yao Yingxia didn't care about her sudden departure. . Anyway, no matter how much it is wasted, it is still other people's money. Maybe they will make more than they spent on a plane trip.
Laila was lucky. Her identity and surname made it easy for her to go through various procedures, and the plane landed at the Hong Kong airport on the evening of March 31.
What Laila didn't expect was that as soon as she was about to get off the plane, a lot of people gathered at the airport, including many holding signs.
"Are there any celebrities coming today?" She looked out through the cabin window.
Roy also came over and couldn't help but smile when he saw the dark heads and said, "Could they be here to greet you?" "
How is that possible?" Laila laughed. She didn't think she was that famous. And these people looked organized at first glance. It was probably some celebrity's fan group who came to pick them up at the airport, right?
"What should I do?" Demi didn't want her boss to be hit by so many people. Judging by the looks on the bodyguards' faces, it was clear that they didn't like Laila appearing in such a chaotic environment either.
Laila frowned: "Let's wait until the crowd disperses."
Although she was eager to fulfill her wish, it was useless even if she arrived at the place where the incident occurred. She was unfamiliar with the place and had no idea what was happening. Where is the bit now?
At this time, the guide Hu Ze who was following us hung up the phone and came over: "Director Moran, I just contacted the airport. They will send someone out and take you to the VIP channel to leave." Otherwise, many people would like it
. What about rights? What seems troublesome to others is just a matter of words under the power.
"Okay, thank you. Let's clean up now." Laila stood up first.
The airport sent a car to wait for the people on the plane to get off the plane, and then they were taken directly to the VIP channel of the airport.
"Who is so grand?" The drivers in the car were talking to each other on a special channel.
Working at an airport, private jets are really not uncommon. But they are generally smaller ones. But the plane Laila is riding in belongs to her grandfather Osvid, who often needs to fly around the world. If the fuselage is not large enough, it cannot carry enough fuel. If you want to fly directly from the United States to the East, you can only fly halfway. Just come on.
Precisely because the plane is big enough and carries enough fuel, she can fly around comfortably every time without having to waste time midway for refueling.
"I heard he's an American director?" A well-informed person revealed the news they just learned.
"Is it so profitable to be a director in the United States? This plane costs a lot of money, right?" "
Don't say such mean things. The price of the plane itself is not very high, and many people can afford it. It is expensive because of the interior decoration. The crew also has fuel, maintenance and docking expenses. The money spent every year on maintaining the aircraft is enough to buy a new one in a few years."
Chapter 637: Are you interested in becoming a star?
While chatting here, Laila and Roy also opened the hatch and walked out.
However, before they could walk down the stairs, a deafening scream burst out, almost as if the real sound wave could blow away the plane, one after another fiercely.
Just as Laila guessed, those fans really came to pick her up.
"What are they calling?" Laila was very sure that they were not calling oriental names, otherwise she would not be able to understand them.
"Oppa?" Roy listened with his ears perked up in confusion for a while, only to hear two repeated words from the group of voices: "It seems to be a star named Oppa." "Is there such a
star? "Laila thought about it for a while, but she didn't think of any famous star named Oppa at this time. "Forget it, let's go first."
After walking a few steps, she turned around. What kind of star is Oppa? He is clearly welcoming Korean male artists. Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong?" Roy had been paying attention to her, and when he saw her laughing, he asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I suddenly thought of something interesting." Laila didn't bother to teach him about Korean, and it wasn't anything that needed to be taken care of anyway. In her heart, the person she is going to meet tomorrow is far more important than the star from South Korea!
Roy smiled and didn't ask any more questions. She was not in a good mood along the way, but she finally laughed, which made him feel a little relieved.
As soon as he entered the VIP channel, he saw a group of people coming from the other side. The crowds of people shouting and crowding were even more grand than Laila's. But when it comes to momentum, the opponent is much lower.
There was a person in front and behind the other party who looked like a bodyguard wearing black sunglasses, followed by two assistants in the middle, followed by more than a dozen entourages and makeup artists carrying large and small boxes.
Looking at Laila's side, there were more than a dozen bodyguards in front, back, left and right. In the middle, there was Roy, an Oscar-winning actor, and the beautiful blonde secretary Demi and her assistants standing next to Laila. Whether it is the appearance or the fierceness of the bodyguards, there is no comparison between the two parties.
However, Laila had no intention of comparing herself to others. Her mood at this time was entirely focused on tomorrow's events, and she was too lazy to look at the group of people behind them who were hurriedly trying to overtake them.
Just because she doesn't want to compare doesn't mean that the other person doesn't want to compare either. Whoever it was, who had just passed by hundreds of people to pick him up at the airport, would have arrogantly ignored "ordinary people".
The so-called ordinary people, of course, refer to people like Laila, who don't even have fans of the connection machine.
Fortunately, Laila and her group were all Westerners, so the Korean star did not show his arrogance. After all, not everyone travels with so many bodyguards. In his eyes, Laila is a person with a black background.
However, his agent's eyes lit up when he saw Laila and the others. Even though Laila and the others were wearing glasses and hats and making simple disguises, their own temperament and exposed smooth chins and The necks all show their high-level appearance and figure.
"Hello, I'm from XX company. I wonder if you are interested in becoming a star?" He took out a few business cards and handed them to Laila and others.
His English is not very standard. He can barely understand half of it and needs to guess the other half.
How could Laila's bodyguards allow such a stranger to approach the boss at will? Before the other party could approach, two people had already stood up and stopped him.
This was the first time Laila had been solicited by a talent scout, so she raised her hand to stop the bodyguards from moving, and then took the business card.
An agent is someone who can't move when he sees someone with potential. It's not until he is stopped that he realizes that he seems to have done something wrong. Just by looking at the other party's appearance, you can tell that they are not short of money at all, so why would you care about his solicitation?
What he didn't expect was that his business card would still be accepted, which made him a little nervous and a little excited. If people are really interested, with their looks and Western identities, they might be able to create a few world-class idol stars.
The company is making such plans recently. After knowing that it was difficult for Asian faces to gain ground in the West, they simply wanted to recruit some Westerners to train them in order to carry out their grand plan to conquer the world's entertainment industry.
"I've known for a long time that you could be a star." Roy suppressed his laughter until his body was trembling slightly. He was about to laugh to death because a big Hollywood director was spotted by a talent scout on the road. If this matter reaches Hollywood, it will probably be shocking news that will make headlines again.
Poor guy, does he know what a pitiful mistake he is making?
Laila was also a little bit dumbfounded, but she was still relatively happy. As a woman, shouldn't she be happy when someone compliments her on her beauty and can enter the entertainment industry and become a star?
She glanced at Roy: What's so funny?
Roy waved his hand quickly: No, no, it's not ridiculous at all.
If he hadn't looked like he was about to collapse, she might still believe what he said. But with that look of almost fainting from laughter, she believed there was a ghost!
The two people on this side communicated silently with their eyes, and the manager on the other side was still peeking at their reactions.
In fact, when he first saw Roy, Roy had a great figure. He was tall and tall, and his legs were long. And judging from his silhouette, he was definitely a handsome guy.
But he didn't seem interested, but the girl accepted his business card. Only then did he pay more attention to the girl.
It didn't matter after looking at it like this, he found that the girl also had such an outstanding temperament.
A height of over 170 centimeters is enough for a catwalk. The most important thing is her temperament, which gives people a ladylike feeling, but is also full of fashion sense. The agent himself didn't know how to describe it, he just felt that if such a person appeared in the entertainment industry, he would definitely gain a lot of fans.
However, what he expected did not happen. Neither the handsome guy who ignored his business card nor the beautiful woman who accepted his business card said anything. The girl waved goodbye to him, but the man didn't even look at him. Maybe there is, but it's just hidden behind big sunglasses so you can't even see it.
Seeing that the two were about to walk away, the manager subconsciously wanted to chase them, but was stopped again by the bodyguard walking at the end.
"Don't follow me anymore!" He said these words coldly, and the bodyguard left him and turned around to walk away.
The agent looked at his back blankly: "This is not bad. You can play the villain BOSS in a gunfight movie! Who are these people? Why are they all so outstanding?"
Chapter 638: Can you be as handsome as me?
The Korean star "Oppa" who was being left aside snorted coldly: "Stop wishing for anything, haven't you seen their pomp? Do you think such a rich person will become a star with you?" He ignored his agent coldly. At a glance, if he didn't know his true nature and just didn't want to see people with potential slip away from him, he might have gotten angry just now.
When an artist like him always thinks about other people, doesn't it mean he's looking down on him?
"What a pity." The agent sighed and could only forget about the plan he had just imagined in his mind.
The Korean star sneered: "What can you do? Do you think people like them will still follow your arrangements and follow the path you set? They are not your little stars." Korean stars were secretly sent to do
it Everyone knows what the deal is. You send two celebrities who look like bosses to "serve" other bosses? I'm afraid no one knows what kind of trouble it will cause. If something goes wrong, who should bear the consequences?
Laila only regarded the incident at the airport as a minor incident and forgot about it as soon as she left the airport.
"BOSS, can I book a hotel closer to the theater?" Demi remembered that the boss made this trip specifically to watch a movie, and thought that the arrangement would be closer so that he wouldn't have to travel too far to watch the movie.
"No, arrange it for me at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong." Laila's heart ached. It was this hotel that made her lose one of her favorite stars. In her previous life, she had imagined more than once that it would be great if this hotel did not exist, so that "he" would not die.
"Okay." Demi thought she had already studied Hong Kong's information, and without thinking too much, she followed her instructions and booked the best room in the hotel through her guide Hu Ze.
This made Hu Ze secretly relieved. He came here shamelessly for the mission. If he couldn't help in any way, then he wouldn't be able to see the people above him when he went back. Fortunately, people like Laila are "foreigners" and are not very familiar with this place. Finally, there is still a place where he can be used, so that he will not feel like a freeloader.
At around 10 o'clock that night, Laila finally stood on the balcony of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
The hotel is in Central, and you can see the beautiful view of Victoria Harbor from the balcony. She couldn't imagine that when "he" jumped down, did he also see the same beautiful scenery? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder. no! She must rewrite history, she must save him!
"Laila." Roy came over and put his coat on her shoulders: "Don't stand for too long, it's still a little cool here." He didn't miss the shiver she had just made.
Laila nodded and smiled at him: "I know, I'll be in soon."
But Roy frowned and covered her eyes with his big hands: "Don't laugh if you don't want to, it's so ugly. "
Just because he hasn't said it yet, doesn't mean he really can't see that she's worried. She is not cute at all when she forces a smile! He didn't want to see her with no life or vitality at all.
"Sorry..." Before the words could be spoken, Laila's mouth was covered.
"Don't ever say that word to me, I don't want to hear it from your mouth at all!" Roy removed his hands from her face and hugged her in his arms: "Don't keep it in your heart if you want to Speak out and I will always be willing to listen to you."
"Yes." Laila buried her head in his arms and responded dully. She could smell the fresh scent of his shower gel through his clothes, and she could also feel his warmth flowing towards her. This feeling was wonderful, and even made her have the urge to tell the truth for a moment.
But she couldn't do it.
Do you want her to tell him that tomorrow someone will play a big April Fool's Day joke on everyone in the world, and then return to the embrace of God?
So how should she explain how she knew this?
Rebirth is the biggest secret in her life. Apart from her, no other person in the world can know it, not even him.
So she could only keep her words in her heart, and hide her apology for him as well.
Roy didn't mean to force her. He didn't necessarily want to know what was going on, but he just didn't want to look at her lack of energy.
"Let's go watch a movie. It's the one you mentioned. What's it called?" "
..." Only now did Laila realize that she didn't seem to have decided on what movie to watch. I've already made this trip. If I hadn't gone to see that movie, no matter how stupid I was, I would have discovered something was wrong, right?
She went through the movies released at this time in 2003 in her mind, and she found a very suitable choice.
"It's Jon Amell's "Earth". I've seen his film "The Trap" before and thought it was pretty good." What she didn't say was that the so-called good didn't mean the plot, but the two characters in it. The male and female protagonists who look after the house are Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Roy was in Hollywood, so of course he knew what movies would be released, and he knew it when he heard it was this one.
"I've also watched "The Trap". Sean Connery is a good actor. I like his role as 007." "
Yes, he was the first 007. He was so young and handsome back then. Yeah!" Laila was brought back memories by him. 007 is a good movie. She has watched every one of them. Even the ones that were criticized and considered not good enough, she collected them all without any hesitation.
It's a pity that in such a series of movies, the female protagonist is basically a vase, and the only one who is more powerful is completely inferior to the male protagonist. In her opinion, a strong male and a weak female are certainly the basic formula for Hollywood hero movies, but if the female protagonist can be stronger, it will also be a great improvement to the quality of the film.
Just like movies with outstanding villains are usually very exciting. When all aspects are achieved to the extreme, if you want to easily improve the quality of the movie, why not start with the heroine?
Looking at the reaction to "Kill Bill" after it was released, we know that the audience does not dislike movies just because women are powerful. As long as the movie is good and interesting, men, women, and aliens will all be very generous in accepting it.
It's a pity that many people in Hollywood cannot understand such a simple truth. They only know that the experience passed down from the past is that movies with male protagonists tend to get more box office. You don't need to look at current movies, just look at the income gap between male movie stars and female movie stars to see the truth.
Roy raised his eyebrows as he listened to her answer: "Sean Connery is handsome?"
That disdainful little look clearly said, besides, can I be handsome?
Chapter 639 "Earth Rescue"
Laila was amused: "No, you are the most handsome."
This is not flattery. Roy's appearance is indeed impeccable. If there is something missing, it is probably a kind of accumulation of time. Bar. She believed that if she gave him a few more years, she would see a more charming him.
Roy was quite satisfied with her words. He looked at her with a "you are really smart" look and then said: "Last year, I was voted the number one sexiest person in the world." That was through the captain
. of limelight. Laila nodded silently, not embarrassed to tell the truth. But no matter what, there is no doubt that he has a very good appearance, otherwise she would not have been attracted by his talent and moved to Hollywood at the first sight.
But there is an important question here. Being too beautiful is not something to be happy about in Hollywood, right?
"Okay, you are the most handsome in the world, right?" She responded speechlessly, feeling amused that he still cared about her appearance at such a young age.
However, what she didn't see was the fondness in Roy's smiling eyes as he looked at her. How could he care about appearance? Otherwise, he would have already boasted about him when he was selected as the most handsome face in the world. Wasn't it because he was in a bad mood and wanted to make her happy?
Seeing her helpless expression at his "shameless" words, the corners of his lips also quietly raised.
This hotel was built decades ago, before Hong Kong returned to China. Therefore, the hotel's architecture and decoration style are all purely British, and many big names have visited here.
Laila stayed in the best room when she came this time. In addition to the bodyguards responsible for guarding, Roy and Demi also stayed in the other bedroom of this room temporarily.
She didn't sleep well all night, and the scenes from her past life kept popping up in her mind. I remembered my reaction when I saw the news, my sadness when I was sure it was not a joke, and the regrets and sadness I felt again and again... As a result, I finally
fell asleep, and the sky outside began to turn white.
So what Roy saw was Laila, whose eyes were bloodshot and her face was not very good-looking, "staying in bed" again.
"Would you like to go see a movie at another time?" They booked tickets for this morning so that they could see the movie as early as possible.
This is what Laila meant, otherwise there would be no point in rushing here slowly.
"It's okay, I'm already awake." Laila walked into the bathroom and took a shower to make herself more awake. Today she must be in her best condition. In order to save herself from the regrets of her previous life, she cannot allow any mistakes.
She remembered clearly that the time "he" jumped was around 6 o'clock tonight. The media described the situation in detail, so she had no difficulty in arriving at the most accurate place at the most accurate time. If she still can't save it after all her efforts, then she will definitely be in more pain than in her previous life. Because this time it will happen in front of her eyes, at such a close distance!
After eating something hastily, Laila, Roy and others headed to a nearby cinema. For her safety, the bodyguards suggested that she book the screening room.
She doesn't even care about the cost of plane fuel, so of course she doesn't mind spending more money to book a movie theater. It's a pity that her theater chain has not developed to this point, otherwise this money could be saved.
"Earthquake" is also called "Earthquake". To put it simply, it is an old-fashioned story about saving the world. However, in 2003, movies like this were quite popular, and with a pretty good cast, it was considered one of the more anticipated movies.
When watching this type of movie, one usually comes to see the special effects. If you're really looking for something profound in this kind of movie, it's just a joke.
Laila has always found it hard to get used to watching a movie and having to find out some humanity, good and evil, and struggle in it. Many people go to the movies just for entertainment, and when they are entertained, they like to watch something lively. It's not that there is no market for art-house movies, but there are still relatively few people who like them. Moreover, art films are more suitable to be enjoyed alone at home, and there is really no need for them in places like cinemas.
"You really have to go to the cinema to watch this kind of movie." Roy moved on his seat holding the popcorn and changed into a comfortable position.
"Yes. That's why there are more and more special effects films recently." Laila knew that the future will be an era of endless blockbusters, especially the many movies dominated by Avengers and Justice. It can be said that applying special effects to the extreme can also make a lot of money.
Roy thought of her movie: "How is "Iron Man"? I heard Downey said he was very silly in the movie?" "
Silly?" Laila couldn't help but laugh out loud as she thought of Downey's appearance during filming. : "It can indeed be described as silly. You know that many parts of that film were filled with special effects, so many of his scenes were acted out in imaginary situations." Roy laughed: "I know, he told
me He said that he was tied with wires all over his body, and then jumped around among a bunch of machines like a fool." At this point, he couldn't help but worry about his friend: "You said he can succeed this time "?"
Laila smiled slightly: "Others dare not say it, but don't worry about his words." She answered confidently: "You will see a great Downey." Of course
Roy hopes that is the case, One side is his girlfriend, and the other side is a good friend whom he has never met before. The cooperation between the two is certainly worth looking forward to.
"You seem to have forgotten the speculations of the film critics before filming." He laughed: "I remember saying a lot about Downey who has no talent and what kind of worthless superhero movie." Laila also laughed
. He said: "You still remember. It doesn't matter, let them go. Anyway, every time I make a movie, they will tell me a bunch of reasons why I can fail." It's just that the result has never been right. It's really not easy for those people to persist in walking on the path that doesn't like her again and again despite being slapped in the face.
"I don't want to remember it. Who allowed their comments to be seen everywhere?" As soon as he saw the content about her, he couldn't help but read it, and every time he saw a bunch of nutritious things, he also couldn't help it. Very distressed.
Laila patted his hand that was close to her: "Don't worry, I won't fail!"
Roy held her hand before she could take it back, and stroked her delicate palm with his fingers: "Of course you won't fail. I have confidence in you!" Laila and him looked at each other. After smiling, he turned his attention to the movie screen.
Chapter 640: The Trajectory of Destiny
To be honest, she is quite interested in movies like "Journey to the Center of the Earth". She has not seen this one, but she has watched the first and second films of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" Part two, especially the second part, she felt that the special effects were really good.
She didn't expect that the special effects in this era would be as outstanding as they would be in the future, but after watching the movie, she didn't expect that the special effects would be so... rough.
Yes, the movie was not as exciting as she imagined.
It's not surprising that her aesthetics is still stuck in the future ten or twenty years from now, which is completely incomparable to the present. So after watching the movie, she felt a little disappointed. The special effects are not good on the one hand, and the entire story is not as good as other similar works of later generations.
"What? Disappointed?" Looking at her expression, Roy knew that she was not satisfied.
"It's true that I'm a little disappointed. The director's level in "The Trap" was relatively strong. It seems that he is not suitable for directing this type of movie." Roy touched her head: "A
director who is good at one type of film may not necessarily If you can shoot other genres well, don't imagine everyone to be like you."
Laila thought the first half of his sentence made sense, but the second half became unreasonable: "What do you mean I'm like this? You're saying I shoot Are your types too mixed?"
"I'm praising you for being omnipotent." Roy looked at her unreasonable look and couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek. How could he not love her when she was so cute?
The people behind him were caught off guard and had their mouths filled with a mouthful of dog food, and they had to watch it. It was really sad and tearful. Westerners were better off, but as an Easterner, Hu Ze, the guide, found it a bit annoying.
Even Demi, who decided to devote all her energy to work, had the urge to find someone to love.
After coming out of the cinema, it was just time for lunch.
Laila didn't want to leave the hotel too far, so she rushed back after watching the movie, and even had her meal in the hotel restaurant.
For a five-star hotel, the food must be quite good. It's a pity that she doesn't have the appetite to taste it. No matter how beautiful or delicious the food is, it has lost its appeal in her eyes.
After eating, she didn't go out for a walk, so she went straight back to her room. Worried that Roy would notice her strange behavior, she simply kicked him out and pretended to be buying gifts for everyone.
When Roy took Demi and several little girls excitedly to the street for shopping, Laila began to fidget around the room.
It was already past one o'clock at noon, nearly five hours before the accident. She didn't know what to do to pass the time, and she didn't know what to do when the time came.
persuade? Or just knock him out?
She had read media reports about his previous life and knew that "he" caused the tragedy because of a severe depression. She might be able to save him once, but who can guarantee that the same thing won't happen again in the future?
This thought suddenly appeared in her mind, and the energy she had been building up suddenly withered away.
Yes, she can guard against it for a while, but can she guard against it forever? Even if she succeeded in preventing the tragedy this time, what about next time when she is not around? Who can guarantee that history will not return to its original track? Who can guarantee that tragedy will not happen again?
She bit the knots on her fingers, trying to come up with a permanent solution, but time passed by, and all she could think of was chaos.
By the time she came to her senses, it was already time for Roy and others to come back from outside.
"How are you doing?" Roy walked in and saw her sitting at the desk. There was a notebook on the table, but she was not writing anything.
He frowned, because he found that this was what he seemed to be like when he left. If she remembered correctly, she stayed in the afternoon because she suddenly had inspiration and wanted to write a script. But how come she didn't even write a word in the entire afternoon?
"It's okay." Laila wanted to force a smile, but suddenly remembered that he said it was ugly, so she lowered the corners of her half-raised lips.
Roy sighed secretly, put his arm around her shoulders and kissed her forehead: "If you feel uncomfortable, just take a rest. I've made a reservation for dinner at 7:30 in the restaurant downstairs." He looked at his watch: "It's okay. You can rest for more than half an hour. Do you want me to postpone it for a while?"
"No, it doesn't matter to me." Laila responded. Suddenly, her eyes widened in disbelief: "What time do you think it is now?"
"6:55, what's wrong?" Roy didn't understand her excitement.
"6:55? How is that possible? It's obviously after 5 o'clock!" She grabbed the clock beside her and found that the clock had stopped on its own at some point.
She slumped down on the chair as if she had lost all strength. how so? Is it really impossible to change the destiny?
No! it's not like that! She can change from a third-tier director of a thunderous drama to the current Leila Moran. Why can't others change their established destiny?
She no longer considered whether another tragedy would happen after she was rescued. She only knew that if she didn't do something now, she wouldn't even have a chance!
"Roy, I'm going out for a moment." Dropping the clock in her hand that had stopped due to loss of power, she grabbed her coat and ran outside.
Roy was stunned and followed closely. Even if it was safer here, he couldn't let her run out on her own if she wasn't in a good mood.
Laila rushed out of the room and ran directly to the elevator. She remembered clearly that the incident happened in the gym on the 24th floor, and the time was less than 7 o'clock. As long as she ran faster, she should be able to catch up. After all, that hasn't happened yet, has it?
But the elevator never came up. She had no patience and no time to wait any longer, so she simply ran down the fire escape.
"Laila, what happened?" Roy watched in fear as she stumbled downstairs at a completely different speed than usual. Several times, he felt like she was about to fall, but every time At the critical moment, she adjusted her posture again.
"I don't know, I always have a bad feeling in my heart." Laila couldn't tell the truth of the matter, and could only explain it with mysterious and mysterious things: "It seems that there is a voice telling me that if I don't go to a place now, I will definitely You will regret it for the rest of your life!"
Roy finally caught up with her when she almost lost her balance when she rushed forward again, and narrowly caught her: "Okay, I understand, but we can't run in such a hurry, okay? "
He was so frightened by her situation just now that he broke into a cold sweat. If he hadn't held her back just now, she would have fallen down the stairs by now.
"I know." Laila agreed without sincerity.
It's not that she doesn't want to walk well, it's just that there's no time for her to maintain an elegant and safe pace. How many minutes, or seconds?
Perhaps the moment she stopped, she was unable to undo the tragedy. And she definitely doesn't want to see that kind of result!
