Chapter 85: Dare to Bet

Leila habitually banged on the table with steel: "There's no need to make any statements, even if we blow the movie into a flower, not many people will believe it." What we want to do is to get more people to pay attention to the thing itself, as long as one in 10 of these people is interested in the movie and is willing to go to the cinema, then we will be successful. ”

"But what are we going to do?" Demi felt a mess in her head, let alone come up with an idea, and now someone asked her what her name was, and I am afraid she would not be able to answer.

"It's not big enough now, let's add fuel to the fire. Layla narrowed her eyes and smiled slyly.

Demi stared blankly at the phone that had been hung up, and it took a while to come back to her senses. What the hell the boss wanted, she couldn't guess at all. This is probably why she can only be a small secretary, while the boss can be a little younger than her but already famous all over the world, right?

And it wasn't until the next day, after receiving the latest newspaper, that she finally knew what method her boss used to "add fire".

The headline of the entertainment section of the Entertainment Diary had a striking headline that read: "Cooper, do you dare to make a bet?"

At the same time, the "Entertainer", which has become one of the top five in the United States, is being held by countless people, and these people have seen the huge headline without exception.

Leila now has no way to buy newspapers in France, but she can log in to the newspaper's news website from her computer. On the website, this line of questions still occupies the most prominent position.

In fact, the appearance of this website was also suggested by her grandfather. It may not be the first news site on the Internet, but it is definitely the most functional, easy to read, and most engaging reader.

Not only can you see a variety of news here that is more detailed than in the newspaper, but you can also see a lot of news that is not worth logging into the newspaper, but is still "interesting". Even readers can leave comments under the news and exchange ideas with each other. If there is a news newspaper, you can even get tens or even tens of thousands of dollars in prizes.

This kind of "advanced concept" has allowed news websites to have more loyal readers than newspapers, and also allowed newspapers to have more sources of information than reporter paparazzi, and has become the most willing place for many young people who do not have the habit of reading newspapers to come over and gossip.

And today, the website ushered in the largest number of visitors since its opening, and the initiator is naturally that report.

The report was made by Leila for Anthony to go up, and the central idea was one - "Cooper, if the second movie released on Halloween exceeds 100 million at the box office, you go kiss the ass of the donkey." If it doesn't exceed 100 million, you can change it to me. Do you dare to make this bet with me?"

It's not the 20 million Cooper said, nor the 50 million speculated by the slightly more optimistic Wall Street, but the entire 100 million box office!

Almost everyone who saw the news gasped for Layla's courage. You must know that it is a small-budget movie with a cost of only more than 2 million, and even if you add advertising, it cannot exceed 5 million.

And that movie has long been known to be a horror movie, how many horror films have grossed more than 100 million in history? I'm afraid you can count it on one hand, right?

On the comment page under the news, tens of thousands of comments have been accumulated in a short period of time.

There are two main types of readers' opinions.

One is that Leila is hot-headed or stimulated to babble. She is still young, and she has been repeatedly criticized and smeared, and she is probably so angry that she has lost her mind before she can make such a bet.

The box office of more than 2 million dollars in exchange for 100 million US dollars cannot be described as difficult, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an impossible task.

Some other people take out the witch and say that Laila can get a box office of $300 million with an investment of no more than 100,000 yuan, so it shouldn't be so difficult to exchange more than 2 million costs for 100 million, right?

It is a pity that there are only a few people who hold the latter view.

"A miracle is a miracle, and if it always happens, can it be called a miracle? Blair the witch is a miracle, and it is impossible to make such a miracle. —Thumbs up.

"She's too young. A brilliant film has used up all her ideas, and it is impossible to find such a good idea again without years of accumulation. —Uncle Tom.

"Leila is so handsome, let that nasty Cooper kiss the ass of the ass!" - Chocolate lover.

It can be seen from the comments that most people are not very optimistic about Layla's bet this time, thinking that she is young and frivolous, and she needs to encounter setbacks to recover her mood and go on better.

But there are also many young people who don't care if they really fail, they only see Leila dare to shout at a famous film critic in the air, and say such a sharp bet. It's just cool for them, and that's what they have to do for her.

Seeing the support left by the young people, and the increasing number of clicks and comments, Leila smiled and closed the page.

It didn't take more to see before she knew she had succeeded in this fire. Regardless of whether the bet on Joober dares to follow, there will be more topics fermenting in the crowd.

Cooper was also one of the first to receive the news, and when he saw Lyra's bet, he jumped up at that time. It's just that this time he is not angry, but happy.

"Hahaha! It's so arrogant! You'll pay for your arrogance!" The triumphant laughter continued from the newspaper to the study, and Cooper's family couldn't help but worry if he was crazy.

When a large group of reporters came to the door to ask him about his response to Leila's bet, he nodded without the slightest hesitation: "It's good that today's young people have courage and ideals. If that's what she wants, then of course I'll say yes to her. I only hope that this setback can teach her a lesson, a successful director is not only courage and self-confidence to succeed!"

If Leila said that he was betting on the box office of 50 million, maybe he would hesitate, after all, there are many people who are interested in her as a young director. But 100 million, as long as the brain is not broken, knows that it is absolutely impossible!

If horror movies were really so good to make, if they could have dozens of times the profit if they were filmed casually, wouldn't they have been made by various film companies long ago?

Of course, Cooper had already made up his mind that when the bet was in effect and the girl kissed the donkey's ass, he would make a tolerant appearance to avoid her ridiculous movements. After all, she is not only the boss of the immortal bird, but there is also a Moran family behind her, but he can't go too far with this surname.

In this way, he has gained fame, taught the immortal bird a lesson, and can still make the Moran family owe him a favor, why not?

The more Cooper thought about what would happen in the future, the happier he became. He was like a monkey who had just been released from the foot of Wuzhi Mountain and regained his freedom, eager to release all the anger and happiness that had been pent up for hundreds of years.
